Gentlemen every one of them, they have turned our town upside down and then right side up this summer, and have. we believe. given of their best in the building of the pavements under their contract. Standard Pav- ings Limited is not a mere paving company. From our association with. them we believe they would lose money on a job rather than skimp their work. and while the quality of our streets has yet to be tried out. so far as we can see. and so far as the Government engin- ers can determine. we have a first-class Job. And that‘s that. Ontario‘s Enviable Reputation Hon. Mr. Henry in his address told 01‘ the conditions of the roads in this Province only a few short years ago. He spoke of his first jurney to Durham 14 years ago. He lelt Toronto by motor and was all day making the trip. He. would not tell his audience how long it took him to come up from the city on Monday evening. But there was a wonderful change until today Ontario was said to have the best high- ways on the North American contin- ent. Mr. Henry told of the representa- tive sent out by the Australian Gov- ernment to study road conditions all over the world with the view of adopt- ing some advanced sysem in that coun- try. He was told to go where he liked. but that he must spend at least six months in Ontario. where were located the "best roads in the world.“ roads."

There was a crash and two badly damaged cars was the result. It is estimated that it will take at least $100 to repair the Oliver car. which was later taken to the gar- age at Flesherton. but the damages to Brown‘s car have not been learned but will be considerable.

To say that Mr. Derby and the young people, who were waiting to dance, were peeved, is putting it mildly. _ _‘ Citizens and visitors gathered in groups discussing the outcome with more or less heat. and Constable Beam- ish was kept busy dispersing groups that were blocking traffic.

He had left his home, separated himself from his family and had endured the hardships of the trenches and life in the army under most trying conditions. "Who won the war?” asked the speak- er. With this he was not concerned. It was plain to him that the Allies had won the war. The important thing to him was “What won the war". The speaker pointed out that the winning of the war was the result of three primary causesâ€"Consecration, Concen- tration and Perseverence. Consecra- tion on the part of our soldiers in leav- in home and taking up arms, their con- centration in the trenches while facing the enemy and their perseverence in continuing on to the end until victory was attended. He referred to the tar- sightedness of the late Lord Kitchener and thought the loss of this great soldier was one of he greatest blows to the cause oi the Allied powers I: the conflict.

In fancy we could hear them speaking to us over the great divide, and their sac- rifice was a call and a challenge to those of us who remained. The only way in which we could meet that chal- lenge was to do as our soldiers did- sacrifice self for others.

The day was an ideal one, the ceremony went of] without a hitch, and there passed into history on of the most interesting days in the history of Priceville and com- munity. The chairman for the day was Major McGillivray, who made a very appro- prite Opening address. calling attention to the solemnity of the occasion and referring very feelingly to those of our Canadian soldiers who had given their lives in the greatest war in history.
