With quantity assured, the probabilities are in favor of interesting developments in con- nection with an Ontario product. Vir- tually all calcium chloride now used in Canada is imported from the United States in the form of flake. Success of the experiments is regarded in some quarters as likely to revolutionize gravel road construction. A seven-mile stretch north of Gravenhurst was treated re- cently in the presence of the minister. Hon. William Finlayson, and officials of the department. It is claimed for the liquid that it will penetrate a loose gravel road for three inches, and a hard packed gravel road one inch, making a hard, waterproof surface. A stretch of road near Durham in Grey County, has also been subjected to the treatment. m we issue or the 16th of last month The Chronicle told of the ap- plication of a new dust layer on the Provincial Highway from the south- beingtriedasan experiment by the government, ahci while it may .be said fact that the treated roadway is one hundred per cent better from a dust standpoint than before the new dis- covery was applied. As we told of the A dispatch from Toronto last week from the Departmem of Highways would lead us to believe that a much more extensive use -is to be made of this method next year. and there is no doubt this declaration will interest those of our farming community who are fortunate, or unfortunate, enough to live alongside our Provincial High- way. The dispatch says: _ “Experiments in treatment of road surfaces with ‘calcium water’ are re- ported by the department oi northern devlopment as most satisfactory. The ‘liquid calcium’ so far used has been taken from a well at Maple, in York county, but the department has been advised that another calcium well has been found at Thornhill.

Instructions were to treat the seven miles near Gravenhurst with as much of the water as would give the same results as if treated with calcium flake, and if it could be done as cheaply as putting on the flake, we were quite willing to use it. Our en- gineers are observing it as to how far it will go; how satisfactory it will be we do not know, but if it is as good as it looks at the start it may take the place of a lot of the imported cal- cium we have been using on the high- wage. It will certainly mean that a lot of toads will be treated with calci- um water.” "Mr. Lindsay Hunt, for the past five years in the employ of the Royal Bank branch here, received 'word last week that he had been transferred to the Queen and Broadview branch in Tor- Ju-L" (5+ h;c LL“ U LLB new Queen and Broadview branch in Tor- onto, and was to report for duty at his new position on Monday morning.

The Coun- cil will base their defense on the fact that when Messrs.

The Hydro Commission, too, we understand, are behind the Council, and should the case come to court it will be defended by the Ontario Com- mission and placed in the hands of their legal department.

RETURNED SATURDAY » FROM OVERSEAS TOUR After a six weeks’ holiday in Eng- land and Scotland, where he visited the homes of his ancestors in Dum- friesshire, Rev. and Mrs. B. D. Arm: strong returned to town last Saturday night, and on Sunday morning Mr. Armstrong occupied his own pulpit in the Presbyterian church, where he was greeted by a large congregation, who were pleased to welcome he and Mrs. Armstrong back to the congrega- tion after a delightful holiday. Rev. and Mrs. Armstrong sailed from Montreal on July 27 on the Duchess of Atholl and landed in Liver- pool on August 3. They had a very nice passage, Mr. Armstrong saying that the usually turbulent Atlantic was like a mill-pond. Though the re- turn trip was quite rough, neither he nor Mrs. Armstrong missed a meal and enjoyed every minute of the jour- ney over the briny deep. Visited Scotland First After a day or two in Liverpool, they went on the Langholm, in Dum- friesshire. Here Mr. Armstrong visited with some of his cousins and also paid a visit to the Armstrong ancestral home. Though it passed out of the hands of his immediate ancestors a- bout 100 years ago when they migrat- ed to Canada, previous to that it had been in their possession for upwards of 300 years, or since about the begin- ning of the sixteenth century. Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong remained here for two weeks, and a remarkable thing to Mr. Armstrong was that the old home is still occupied and appar- ently in as good condition as when first erected. The famous Gilnockie Tower is at Langholm, and was of es- pecial interest, as it was a product of the earlier Armstrongs and was built as a point of defence in the old days when border warfare was common. After a pleasant night at Langholm they went on to Edinburgh, taking in the many places of interest in that historic city, where they remained for three days. Then came the wonderful trip through the Trossachs by coach and steamerâ€"Aberfoyle, Loch Katrine, and then on over a circuitous route to Loch Lomand. And then came Glasgow. Many speak of this city as dirty Glasgow, but Mr. Armstrong tells us that this famous city compares favorably with any other city in the world. Not only is it Scotland’s greatest manufactur- ing city, but it has as well one of the best museums and works of art. There is everything in Glasgow that can be found in any other great city, and he was more impressed on this oc- casion with its impoirtance than on a previous visit taken some years ago. After Glasgow came Ayrshire, dear to the heart of every Scotsman as the home of Scotland’s greatest poet, Rob- bie Burns. With the limited time at their disposal Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong did little else but run and look, trying to take in everything possible, but ad- mitting that instead of six weeks in all they could have spent six months in the many famous spots in ScotlAnd alone. And Down to England The Burns country was the last point of interest visited in Scotland. From here they went to Keswick, fam- ous as the home of Wordsworth. Sit- uated in the north of England it is a beautiful spot, and makes an appeal to all lovers of poetry as one of the world’s 1n the Bush,” as Delightful Holiday in British Isles and Also Spent Short Time in Paris and on Continent.â€"Preached From Own Pulpit Sunday Morning.

Eton College was an- other point of interest. Leaving London Mr. and Mrs. Arm- strong next visited Canterbury, one of the oldest towns in England, and here visited the famous Canterbury Cathed- ral. From here they went on to Folkestone, then to Boulogne. and afterwards to Paris, where they spent four days amid scenes familiar to Mr. Armstrong during his overseas service. Then back to England and to Liver- pool, and then on to their vessel. the Duchess of Atholl, and home. They left Liverpool on the 7th of Septem- ber, arrived at MOntreaI on the 14th. and home to Durham on the 16th. This is but a rambling account of their holiday, hastily picked up in a few minutes' conversation we had with Mr. Armstrong Monday morning be- fore he and Mrs. Armstrong left for the vicinity of Uxbridge to see their children, Gordon and Margaret, who were left there in charge of relatives. Mr. Armstrong confided to us that he and his wife had not seen half that they would have liked to have seen. but considering the short time at their disposal they spent a very busy six weeks, filled to the brim with many interesting sights, sights that will long linger in their memories, and but make them long for some time in the future when they can do it all over again and possibly have more time to spare. RESIGNS RECTORSHIP AT KlNCARDlNE Highly Esteemed Rector of the Angli- can Church Will Take Up Work Rev. T. H. Farr on Sunday last made the announcement from his pul- pit at the Anglican Church. that he would leave Kincardine at the end of October. A rector of the Church of the Messiah, he has made himself es- teemed and beloved by all with whom he has come in contact. Mr. Pam Under his pastorate the Church of the Messiah has undergone many ex- pensive improvements and he has ever performed his duties in a consci- entious manner. The transfer is to St. J ohns, near London, and was made by Bishop Williams. Kincardine citizens in general will be sorry to see the rev- erend gentleman and Mrs. Farr, the latter having taken a prominent part came to Kincardine from Blyth in Co- tober 1915, having served this parish for thirteen years.
