These problems will have to be worked out and other public bodies was necessary and that it should be either a Board of Trade or something else. Most Interest Neighborhood One bright spot in the meeting was the undercurrent of opinion that the Board of Trade must not confine itseli to Durham. It should be a neighbor- hood organization, and to function as such should seek the co-operation of the public bodies of the surrounding municipalities as well as interest the residents of the community immed- iately surrounding Durham to join up with the idea or bettering the whole Durham neighborhood. It is the in- tention to make the Board a social as well as a business organization with the possible holding of a monthly dinner or night when upwards of fifty of the businessmenofthetownmetmthe Town Hall for the purpom of reman- izing. While the Board has not been dead by any means for the put three or four years it had not functioned as it should and the call fix a general meeting was sent out to see the exact feeling of the community and either reorganize and put it on its feet a dis- band altogether. The result was the best meeting of its. kind ever held here and if the enthusiasm of Friday night can be maintained we can see brighter days ahead for the town.

The mild weather of last week and week-end has brought out many pecu- liarities for this section. It is said that the dust is blowing on the highway between Thornbury and Collingwood. that a farmer near Clarksburg was out ploughing for a couple of days, while The annual opening up of the prov- incial highways has started, though the drop in temperature the beginning of the week has halted operations some- what. On No. 6 Highway the plough started out from Fergus and got as far as Kenilworth vicinity when it was torced to turn back on account of ice. While working its way north the storm of Tuesday and Wednesday blocked the road between Fergus and Guelph and the plough is now working on it. When this is cleared out it is the intention to bring the machine back to Kenilworth in an attempt to open the road as far north as Owen Sound. Had the tem- perature kept high it was thought the plough would have got through to Dur- ham yesterday noon but if the present icold spell lasts it is hard to predict when the road will be opened. On No. 10 Highway it is reported that the plough on that line managed to get as far north as Dunaalk yesterday when it, too, was forced to turn back.

A week ago last Sunday there were 18 to 30 inches or snow on hills that are now bare, and sleighing has been practically wiped out.

The drop in temperature is welcomed as it will give the river a chance to go down and be in readiness for the next thaw which is bound to come later.
