J WELCOME! *** For ten days or more the farmers of South Huron have been advan­ taged by harvest weather that has left nothing to be desired. All day long the sun ha® shone with a mild splendor that has ripened* the har­ vest to the point of perfection. Gentle winds have dried the grain a nicety. Storms that have visited other portions of the provinces have passed this region without disturb­ ance. As. a natural result, thrifty agriculturalists have garnered their harvests with pleasure and pro­ found gratitude. No opportunity for their so doing has been wanting. As time has been afforded fall plowing has been done and all pre­ parations are going forward for the sowing of fall wheat. Bean^ are maturing in the' pod, and corn is developing at an almost unprece­ dent rate. So far, no blight has appeared on the potatoes, while the’ tomatoes are maturing most satis­ factorily under the influence of the sun and of the wind that stirs but does not destroy. On every hand are to be heard, as there should be, expressions of deep satisfaction with the fine, seasonable weather that has been the gift of Providence of this locality. THE MENACE A man appeared in court the other day at Coburg on a charge of burn­ ing up the highways at the rate of 60 miles an hour. After he paid his fine it was learned, that he was chief of police in a city in Connecti­ cut, whose chief duty is apprehend­ ing speeders. One would kind of expect better recognition of the laws from a chief of police, but in this case however, the chief had had a taste of how they do things in a nadian court. Family reunion picnic are on increase. That is a good thing, there anything nicer than the gatherr ing yearly of a family and all its scattered branches? In the old days this used to be almost an im­ possibility. Nowadays most large families are organized; the secretary sends out cards ; the women pack up the lunch baskets and tlie men oil up the flivver and away they go. The family reunion is popular and hun­ dreds attend them. May they grow less. When is a youngster safe accidents? Almost at no time, you ever had your little kiddie fol­ low you up and down the lawn while you mowed the lawn. Did it ever occur to your mind that the kiddies are doing a dangerous thing. The other day at Molesworth a little boy, running cidently hand in severed XT*OU, who do not own a car, are A- missing many pleasures that you might enjoy — the convenience of swift, easy travel from place to place ■—the comfort and privacy of trips free from track and timetable—the thrill of roads flying beneath you like never-ending ribbons—the fresh, cool breezes of the great outdoors. You are missing all these—and •more. And you are missing them needlessly—you, who do not feel you shoifld spend the price of a new car! For surprisingly few dollars all of these pleasures may be yours. A good Used Car, sold by a responsible dealer, offers you all of them, and at a cost so low as to be an obstacle no longer. We have a variety of good cars which’ owners have exchanged for “Bigger and Better” Chevrolets — cars that hold thou­ sands and thousands of miles of enjoyment and convenience. And the prices are the lowest we have ever known. Do not go on missing things you can enjoy! {See these good Used Cars today. c.t8.B-2ac i No matter to what height of scorn the speed fiend has been lifted he continues on his dusty and san­ guinary path without regard to the laws of God or man. This is parti­ cularly true of such menaces when they are found on the better class of roads off ‘the main highway. In nearly every Ipcality one of these roads where such notices are re­ quired one meets such signs as "Dangerous Curve," "School Zone,” "Narrow Bridge Ahead." Care­ ful, sensible people observe these signs' but the ill-starred nincom­ poops drive ahead as if they were on errands of life and death urg­ ency.- The ghastly thing about it is that no one 'seems to care. No pro­ vincial police visit these 'roads, local police have any mode of over­ taking these potential murderers. No farmer has| a chance in -the of getting the number of death-inviting gentry. Should outlaws be captured they are a fine that is about as effect- No world these these given ive as the sting of a bumble bee on the hide of a rhinoceros. The sol­ emn • warning given by the bench has as much effect on this gentry as the falling of the burnt end of a rye straw upon the Rocky Moun­ tains. So far, the forces of law and order simply are not reaching the persons whom the legislation is de­ signed to regulate. Stop signs are not heeded, while the speed-limit law appears to have been made to be the province’s biggest joke. Meanwhile, as the authorites laugh, graveyards- are being fatten­ ed and law-abiding folks find the public highways deathtraps, when­ ever these speed fiends, booze in­ flamed and reckless of all the de­ cencies arid amenities o£ travel,, take possession of the roads built by qnd designed for and maintained by the industrious, the thirty, and the law-abiding. ■ Will the plain people he goaded to form vigilance committees and resort to the terrible alternative of taking the law into their >own hands? Nothing is worse for a commonwealth than its retaining a law that is openly and flagrantly and continuously violated.

Her brother, Carl this year won the Science Schol­ arship for the third year at Western after having won the Gold Medal at Senior Matriculation and the Science Scholarship in his first and second years at Western, At Toronto Uni­ versity Mr, Edgar Thompson com­ pleted a brilliant course which com­ menced here with the Gold Medal at Senior Matrdcx»lation by graduating with the Coleman Gold Medal in Chemistry, Minerology and Geology. Another graduate of Exeter High School, Mr. Howard J. Dignan has brought honor to his home school in his course at Toronto University and has been appointed Research Assistant in Biology. These are only a few of the many honors won by graduates of Exeter High School in every walk of life. With one excetion, the staff for 1928-29 is the same as last year and the Board of Education feels that it would be hard to improve on the teaching equipment of Exeter School. The parents who send their children to the Exeter High School may feel confident that they are getting the very best in teaching service.

A number of cases arrived recently in Toronto and Montreal in good condition as far as breakage was concerned, but the eggs them­ selves were of rather poor quality. There were many bad eggs, most of these which got by candlers fell into second grade, the cost delivered at Toronto 24?; cents, and Ontario seconds obtainable at that price, no imports from that quartei* are like­ ly this season. Register Now More accommodation is being pro­ vided this year so that everyone who wishes may enroll but the Board urges the advisibility of early registration so that no one may be disappointed. Miss K.

PRINCIPAL Prince of Wales Prizeman and Wellington Scholar Specialist in Mathematics Strathcona Certificate in Physical Culture THOSE DILAPIDATED CEMETERIES> We have many complaints about the dilapidated nature of many of our country cemeteries with their tottering and broken grave stones. One reason is perhaps the changing character of the population. Those sleeping there may not be the fore­ fathers of the present community. The graves of their family success­ ors may be severed, far and wide .by mountain, stream and sea. But if families change, the community lives on as a community. It owes its being to the daring heroism of those who have gone before. Where there are no fond ones to care for the departed, the decent care of their resting place is a rightful tax on the municipality, and it should not cost much to charge someone with keeping the weeds down and the stones and fences straight; may be, if he likes that task, to keep some flowers there. A neglected burial ground is but a poor com­ pliment to the civilization that rounds it. DR. E. S.
