It | nas a right to expect patronage, if for no other _ reason than that farm values are enhanced by proximity to a good town. It makes the rural area more desirable and becomes a finanâ€" cial asset. ‘ (High River Times) A fev weeks azo this paper bhad an editorial on what the farmer expects from his district town. This was widely reproduced in other papers, giving the farm viewpoint quite an aâ€" mount of publicity. It has been sugâ€" gested that in order to make the perâ€" fect whole, we should discuss what the town desires or expects from the surronnding countryside. Whoever is named will have no smooth path to travel, as Miss Macâ€" phail appears yet to be strongly enâ€" trenched, and W. E. Harris, the Libâ€" eral candidate, is actively getting acâ€" quainted throughout this large riding, and is going to pcll a big vote. If the election comes in midâ€"October, as hinted, Greyâ€"Bruce will see a Hvely two months politically, preceding it. WHAT TOWN EXPECTS Che Burckun Arvicw P. RAMACE. Editor and Proprieter Exâ€"warden Howard ‘(McCauley of Flesherton, who has been considered a likely contestant, is we have recentâ€" ly been informed, unlikeiy to stand. Quite a number of electors have been urging Mayor Allan Bell of town to allow his name to stand on Friday. He is wellâ€"known and centrally locatâ€" ed in the riding, having been a resiâ€" dent of Durham and vicinity all his life. He would make a strong candidâ€" ate, but as far as we are aware, he has made no decision or eifcert to seek the nomination. F.iday of this week will see the Conservative convention for Greyâ€" Bruce held in Hanover, and while it is altogether probable that a candidâ€" ate will be definitely placed in the feld, nc one as far as we can learn, is striving for the nomination, or has announced their candidature. In addition to those named in the Review two weeks ago ag proâ€" spective _ candidates, the name of Jchn Grierson, shipper, is mentioned, while last week the Hanover Post suggested a new name in Robert B:iigham, exâ€"reeve of that town, who is well known throughout the Wesâ€" tern portion of the Riding, after years of auctioneering. It is said Walkerton and Chesley will each have a nominee but whether they will go to the balâ€" lot, is another question. Reeve Austâ€" in Ball and Carl Knechtel of Hanover are two others mentioned. CcONSERVATIVES HAVE YET NO CANDIDATE DEFINITELY OouT An instance in this district ilusâ€" Rockies‘ scenery they like FROM COUNTRY THE DURHAM REVIEW place that I have . visited," after lwhlch there was community singing. Miss Helen Milligan gave a very interesting paper on the ‘Life and poâ€" ems of Pauline Johneton. Mrs Dugâ€" gan also gave a brief talk on her work as supervisor at Gilbert Hall, Flint Mich, a school for deaf childâ€" ren. Both were much enjoyed by all.: A Question Drawer was taken, and the meeting closed with the Lord‘s Prayer. Mrs McRonald and assistants The Sunnyview . W. I. held their July meeting at the home of Mrs Norman McRonald, with 35 members and visitors present. Mrs J. Petty was in charge of the meeting. Mrs. Wm. Derby read the Scripture. ‘ When the ‘Wise Man said lonx ago that "wine is a mocker" he did not realize that a modern auto driver would drink wine and imagine that he became a better driverâ€"and the end might be a speedy death. Wine is still a deceiver and will always be such until the end of time. SUNNYVIEW WOMEN‘S INSTITUTE . It is obvious that the farmer who ‘ does most of his dealing in town gets most out of the town. Not only through the consideration given to a steady customer but in more inâ€" tangible ways. His loyalty is appreâ€" ciated by townspeople, and he feels at home in the town . He feels that the streets and the parks, and all the facilities are partly his because he has helped to make them possible. It is in very fact "his town." This is as it should be. Country people have a many sided investment in their home town. Its prosperity and progressiveâ€" ness is merely a reflection of the goodwill, loyalty and progressiveness of the farm people around it. ‘ I When people who believe they owe ! the home town nothing, make out a substantial money order to some mail order house with which they deal, |they should ask themselves _ "What do these dealers mean to this comâ€" 1vmunit:y'.‘ Do they help in paying the taxes which keeps schools and hospitâ€" als functioning, do they help support cur church, build up our sports, assist in our charities, contribute to our community halls or other rural proâ€" jects, are they the people with whom I am likely to have any social rela-[ tionship, or on whom I could depend for one kindly gesture in time of misâ€" fortune ?" More than that, they could ask themselves if they would ever| expect to get the credit which tihey‘w have asked for and received from the home dealer. | If it is not out of place one ‘might mention also a town facility, very veny greatly appreciated by rural resiâ€" dents, the cemetery. This last resting place is kept beautiful, largely by town ratepayers. There are few people either in town or country who have not some link with the local cemetery and value the care which is being given. ‘ In these days of easy travel, when education, hospitalization and so on are becoming increasingly centralizâ€" od, it is â€"very important to the farm population that have had a good town near at hand. When children reach high school age and must leave home it is a great advantage to have them within easy reach where they can have a fair measure of home oversight. Z m _ °2 i ePE CCC C | trates the point. A farmer, desiring k’ to sell his land advertised it nlacing Rm. B'“' I‘c ‘. 1 to sell his land, advertised it, placing great emphasis on the town near‘ which the land was located, and playâ€" ing up the facilities of the town. As a direct result of the services the town provided, he sold his land for $10.00 an acre more than ‘he would otherwise have obtained. Yet ironicâ€" ally, this man never patronized the town which he used for reference and "boost" in his ad. He didâ€"all his buyâ€" ing in the city but brazenly took adâ€" vantage in his ad. of the business centre which other more loyal farmâ€" ers and townspeople bad created. Conâ€" sidering that he had made no contriâ€" bution to the upkeep of the town, he must surely have felt some guilt. If other rural residents had followed his practice there would have been no town. One often hears the argument, "I owe nothing to local dealers. I buy where I like." That is a false and shortâ€"sighted view. We are all inâ€" terdependent, as individuals and as groups of a community. The more patronage a town enjoys from the surâ€" rounding district, the better facilities it can provide. _ It will have better schools, better churches, better proâ€" fessional services of every type. The stores will be able to increase stock and carry better stock. More espert mechanics will be available. Sports and recreational outlets will flourish and the town in its material aspects, its streets and hdmes will be more attractive. ‘ ARIO ARCHIVES TORoNTO yet a "shin plaster" will come into , U®D®" (to cold, dignified 1a thoD.hlu&mthA:h:“"M“&M? a letter to pay for some publication. | . *"* : !20Yyâ€"Neâ€"indeed ! 1 am e 9t * ; bride‘s mother. 25 cent denomination.

As a matter of fact our monetary system has fewer units in it than formerly. _ We used to have a $4 bill which gave a lot of trouble, for counâ€" terfeiters were able to cheat the puoâ€" lic sometimes by raising a $1 bill to $4. The $4 bill became a nuisance. Trese bills range in value as folâ€" lows: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $100, $500, and $1000. The authorities keep close track of the hands into which the $1000 bills fall. It is the highest deâ€" nomination issued. "There must be more vigorous enâ€" forcement of our traffic laws," Mr. Conant declared. "Serious and even fatal accidents are all too frequent. In most cases they are entirely aâ€" voidable. ‘The work of every traftic officer will be closely watched in the ?futurc\ with more intensive inspection, Traffic law violations will not be tolâ€" crated. Guilty persons will be aggresâ€" sively prosecuted. Trafhic officers who fail in their duties will be severely dealt with." Youngster: "I know, mister, but the last time I found a $10 bill the man didn‘t have any change." Old Gentleman: "You‘re an honest boy, but it was a $10 bill I dropped, not ten ones". "They say that last year‘s wheat crop has never been beaten." "No," replied the wit, "but it has been threshed." # The attorneyâ€"genral coupled this warning to the police with a chalâ€" lenge to the municipalities which do their cown policing. "I hope that there also will be a more rigid enrforceâ€" mentof traffic laws there also" he said . A popular bill in put_yur; was the Demanding even more rigid enâ€" forcement of Ontario‘s highway trafâ€" fic laws than now obtains, Attorneyâ€" General Conant Saturday issued inâ€" structions whereby Provincial motorâ€" cycle police will be held to a miniâ€" mum of court attendance in order that they may spend as much time as possible in actual patrol of the roads. Stricter Enforcement of Highway Traffic Laws The two men were helped from the machine and ‘were given first aid, after which Hodges was brought to Peterborough. * "It wasn‘t up very high and I though it was surely going to hit us. When it got past us, it just missed a binder and crashed in Edward O‘â€" Donaghue‘s field." Jack Record and a Mr Turner of Peterborough came close to being struck by the machine as it started down . Roman Braun, manager of Peterâ€" borough Air Services, formerly chafâ€" feur for Dr. D. Jamieson in Durham for several years, escaped with only a shakingâ€"up and Wm. Hodges, a Toâ€" ronto pilot, suffered facial cuts and head bruises, when the cabin se&â€" plane in which they were flying, crashed eight miles north of Peterâ€" horough on Monday Although the machine was practicâ€" ally demclished, it did not take fire. The two men were taking off in the machine from Chemong Lake and, according to Braun, it is believed a downward air current caught the plane andforced it to the centre of a field about two hundred yards from the water‘s edge. $ $ $ $ BILLS IN CIRCULAT:ION A FACT A WEEK ABOUT CANADA Escape in Plane Crash baking sale at the next meeting . reading "Behold the door," was r by Mrs Ewen. ‘The Lord‘s Prayer unison closed the meeting .
