All underground work, there i as nothing very much to show and the labor was hard. tedious and slow. From the start. especially in laying the sewer, there has been a lot of hard luck from cave-ins and the removal of stone, and even the most pessimistic of our citi- zens must admit that Durham is not that place referred to in the scriptures as. being built on sand. Durham is sit- ting right up on the rock and cannot fail. “Louie," the man who laid the most of the pipe, which rests any- where irom ten to fourteen feet under ground. told The Chronicle that in all his twenty-odd years oi ditching he had never seen anything like it. When we suggested that the local Stone 8g Sand Company might possibly, in the course of a few years run out oi ma. terial. he smiled and said he didn’t think so. as it was his opinion that they had picked a “dam da gooda place" to set up business. A Good Crowd And right here we would like to pay a tribute to the “boys” who put in our sewers and laid our water mains.

While the town has been rather bad- ly tied up all summer and our tourist trade somewhat disrupted, the town people and the residents of the vicinity have been most patient, took all the in- conveniences in good part, and rather than complain of the conditions present are looking hopefully forward to the time when the highway is opened and Durham will have as good a front street as the best of them. ’The past summer. with its piles of dirt and lum- Paving Program Nearing Completion ber on the.

Declaring that the whole affair was “a taupest in a teapot created by the protests of a few diagruntleg meter- ists,” the telegram pledged the “deep appreciation" of “many thousands" of United States motorists who would “huten to testiiy to the unending courtesy and generous consideration shown them by constables. road pat- rols, other government oflicials and the people of t_he province". I LLAL Premier Ferguson commented that he was pleased to have this intimation “of satisfaction and good feeling on the part of United States motoris .” _ “We are doing everything we can.” he said, “to make it pleasant for the tourists and guests who came to Car}- 531"" v'iiew u'nderstand that tourists realize that they have to obey the laws here, but we know that they are strangers to our practices and legisla- tion.” The prime minister states that he intended acknowledging the telegram with a letter expressing his thanks for this kind assurance. “PAPER MUST BE PRINTED” EVEN UNDER DIFFICUL’IIES ‘ IIV Iv“ vâ€"â€" paper is always a highly technical and laborious aflair, but in this little island colony of! the coast of Australia, the recent publication of the Tasmania Ex- aminer by means of two pieces ‘0! farm equipment was an outstanding example of the universal newspaper code that “the paper must be printed”.

Hard maple trees throughout Toron- to have been suffering to a limited ex- tent during the past two weeks from two separate causes. The aphis, a small louse that sucks the juices from leaves and branches. and a mysterious arboreal ailment about which little is known, have brought to the ground a considerable number of maple leaves lately, and residents have been worried about the human beings. In every case it does no permanent damage and appears to have little eflect on the general wel- fare of the tree. Although it is ac- companied by some loss of leaves, it passes of! rapidly. No treatment is known. The work of the aphis. however, is clearly distinguishable by a sticky de- posit upon the leaves which fall. De- prived by the parasite of adequate sap, leaf stems tend to dry up. They drop of! from the same immediate cause and in much the same manner as in the autumn. Neither condition is regard: ed as even slightly serious. _ “Re. latter complaint is said to be climatic, as far as is known, and may be analogous to the common cold in FORMER RESIDENT WINS IIIGII MUSIC STANDING Friends here of Miss Maydee Mc- Auley, daughter of the late James Mc- Auley. and _form_erly _a yesident of this â€"--â€" -1 h-- ouava . -â€".. town, will he" bleased to learn of her success in having passed her examina- tions in music at the Toronto Conser- vatory of Music.

It was a most interesting address and was cut all too short by the announcement that the play was ready to commence. The Chronicle editor was also called on for a few words, but his remarks were brief and mostly of a commendatory nature in which he congratulated the section for their loyalty to the Dur- ham hospital. which, though situated in Durham, was in reality the property of the community and as a community affair had to receive community sup- port if it were to succeed.
