ROADS IMPASSABLE
FOR EASTER
The roads around Exeter during
the past week have been in a very
bad condition, the worst they have
been in years. Autd traffic for the
Easter holidays was completely de
moralized. In places the roads have
broken through and the autos have
had to be pulled out. On Wed
nesday evening five young people,
three boys and two girls from Kit
chener in a runabout with rumble
seat, got mired in a holo on the
Thames Road and after a, vain -at
tempt to get them out they spent
the night in the car and in the
•morning had their breakfast at Mt,
Garnet Frayne’s. They were pull
ed cut about 9 o’clock in the morn
ing. Different parties were stalled
on the .roads Over night. Visitors
>for Easter from distant points
brought their cats to London and
then came on by train. A number,
however, got through. The wea
ther turned colder, with show, for
Sunday and the roads froze Up.
