FRANK IRWIN, Editor and Preprietor. NOBLESSE OBLIGE Sometimes it pays to be a good fellow and sometimes it doesn’t. There is none of us who does not feel like helping out the fellow in trouble, but sometimes in doing so, we feel that we are sometimes taken advantage of and our goodness of heart taken for eas- iness of disposition. Adam Hillis, who teams the coal around town for Mayor Murdock is just recovering from the eflects of misplaced good fel- lowship. and if you wish to learn about it, ask him for the loan of his doubletrees. Last week after the Hanover hockey team had finished their game here with the locals. and while on their road home, they became hung up on the bridge on Lambton street by the doubletrees on their rig breaking. As they did not relish the idea of walking the twelve miles, and could not proceed in the manner in which they had come over without a new set of doubletrees. the driver hunted up Adam Hillis and arranged for the loan of a pair of hrs. These were to be returned in a few days. They were. They were sent by ex- press from Hanover, but when they arrived at the station here it was found that they had been sent “col- lect” and Adam had to delve down into the south-east corner of his pocket and hand over 65 cents before he could lift them and take them to "the -tést of free discussién. is more in love with his own opinion than with the truthâ€"WATSON. Whosoe'ver is afraid of submit- ting any question. civil_ or relfigioug, Adam isn’t saying very much. but as ' he made no charge for the use of his equipment and only helped out his brother when he thirsted and wanted drink. he thinks the least that should have been done would be to pay the express charges on the double- trees. without which the Hanoverians would have had to hoof it or put up for the night at a local hostelry. â€"()â€"~ WHY DODGE THE ISSUE? The meeting held m the Town Hall! last Friday night was unique in that it can truthfully be said there was not one voice raised against the attempt of the Council to secure figures and information regarding the paving of our front street. Everyone we have talked to admits without question that our main thoroughfare is a disgrace and that some move should be made to better these conditions if Durham is to function as the centre of the surrounding community. There may be those who feel that there is a possibility that the spending of so much money will be a hardship in certain quarters. but what are we todo? Weagreetoamanthatour street should be repaired. and while there is a possibility that many would rather take some cheaper course, none has come forward with any proposi- tion that would do more than tempor- arily relieve the situation. As a. second move in the paving question we would suggest that a meet- ing be called of those resident on Garafraxa street on the Provincial connecting link. There is little doubt a frontage system of some kind will be adopted if the work goes through and it is only fair that ratepayers in 1929 JAN UARY 1929‘ Thursday, January 24, 1929 12 5;: for with a 'general meeting later, in which the whole matter may be threshed out. The whole of Grey County, and, we learn from the daily press, the greater part of this section of the northern hemisphere, has been in the midst of one of the worst gales of the season. In Grey County the greatest incon- venience is the blocking of the roads, which are now impassable except by horse and sleigh. Mixed Weather of Past Few Days, With Wind. Rain. Sleet and Snow, Rain on Saturday Commencing Saturday, there was a heavy fall of rain here. which contin- ued until late into Saturday night. Sunday showed a little improvement and on Monday afternoon the weather became colder. Tuesday it commen- ced snowing and then the wind came and during the afternoon and night this turned to sleet, and, with an east wind. was quite uncomfortable. Dur- towfi, citizens from all parts have the one thoughtâ€"the improvement of the front It might be well, too, to remember what happened in the erection of our Carnegie Library, our Armory, our Post Office and the events leading to the selection of a site for our Hydro station. There is no need that such f iascos should again occur. To use a common expression, we are “up against it”. Let us admit this fact and discuss it from the standpoint of f ought out. In other sections of the country the conditions are very much worse. From New York comes the news that eight ships were in distress in the Atlantic, Newfoundland reports the abandoning of the search for a British steamer which is supposed to have foundered, and from other sections of Canada and the United States much damage has been done by the high wind and service to our community. In our opinion the question of street paving is one that must be thought out, not Blizzard Sweeps Over Grey County ing the night the wznd veered to the south, but on Wednesday the snow came again, accompanied by colder weather. The net result of it all is that we have had a spell of nearly all the seasons since Saturday and now the probabilities are for a continuance of the wind and cold weather. All roads are blocked to motor traffic and there is little possibility that they will be reopened this winter, as the rain and cold weather have made them rutty and dangerous for motor travel. Storm FIREMEN BAD RUN The Durham fire brigade had an ex- ercise run last Monday shortly before noon in response to an alarm that there was a fire in the West ward. 1 Luckily, their services were not needed as it proved to be only a chimney fire in the Chinese laundry on Lambton street. Being a frame building, it was felt better to take no chances of its getting beyond control and an alarm was turned in, but the fire was extin- guished before the chemical could ar- rive. despite the fact that the machine imade a good run, considering the hour.

They did not remain long in the old land, however, and again came to Canada, settling in Guelph for a time, and then coming to Durham, for five years occupying the present Joe Crutchley farm. In 1876 they moved to Edge' Hill where the deceased resided until 1923, when he moved to Durham with his son, Charles H. Moffat, at whose home he died.
