Some motorists have ia way of keeping to the main roads in the assurance that they will find the going good. In this con­ fidence motorists are a little more' than justified. • But a mistake is made, when concessions and side lines 'are overlooked. Trips taken through districts frequently travelled will reveal roads that are wonders of smoothness and homesteads fend harvest fields of delightful attractiveness. At almost every turn are to be found lovely places for resting or for lunching or for group picnicing. Huron merchants do not keep all their goods in the front windows. Still less, are all the best faring found on the front roads.*' ” ♦ * * .$* BETTER TIMES This summer -there has beel a movement on foot that is full of promise of better days.

Mrs. Hicks was born on the Goshen Line, Stan­ ley Tp. 76 years, ago. She was mar­ ried twice. At the age of 16 she was united in marriage to Mr. Currie who was a teacher in the Goshen school.' Mr. Currie’s death occurr­ ed several years -later. Fifty-two years ago she married Mr. Hicks and came here. Mr. Hicks prede­ ceased her eleven years ago in July.

With the utmost frankness they are discussing the ne s of the hour in every walk More thar^ever knowledge and good will * It’s a good thing that tliis matter of courtesy to visiting motor­ ists has been investigated and cleared up. It seems that some of the visitors have been held up. But in the overwhelming majority of the cases where such action 'has been taken the motorist has been, flagrantly violating the reasonable and necessary traffic regu­ lations of the province. In plain English these law-disregarding motorists have been proving themseives nuisances by their silly reckless driving. As such they will not be tolerated. United States motorists have officially recognized Ontario’s fair dealing. Ontario welcomes visitors. We have goods to show. We have scenery to be enjoyed. We have courtesy to share. We have good will to xchange. We wish to know our neighbors and to have them make our acquaintance. What we can do we are willing to do to make a visit to our province an unforgettable enjoyable experience. Our traffic officers know this. In order to keep their job they simply must 'act accordingly. Vistitors may come to Ontario in the absolute assurance that the province and every municipality in it will give them a square deal.

The little village . b£ Plessisville, Que., east of Montreal on the Canadian National Railways in the very heart of the finest maple groves of old Quebec province, has seen developed-in recent years Canada’s first really big maple sugar concentration, the co-oper- iitivU organization known as ’’The Maple Sugar Producers of Quebec.” Incidentally it represents Canada’s latest successful effort in co­ operative marketing. < , Some’ yehrs i^go, the' Quebec -Department of Agriculture began ’seriously to giVe attention to the iiittple', War industry1 by «i- couraging and aiding the farmers iff the production of a high grade maple syrup. Their efforts were largely nullified by the fact that the purchasers of the syrup gave the farmer who produced the best quality syrup no better price than the Turmer who produced poot stuff. Then the Quebec Govern­ ment went one step further and established in a small way a co­ operative plant. Today, at Plessis- Ville, this-plant is operating full shift 24 hours a day, employing 28 men; taking 'thousands Of gallons of sujftp from the farmers, and manufacturing and marketing a high-grade maple sugar ,.aha syrup at the Irate Of two million pounds of maple sugar and 300,00.0 gallons of maple syrup yearly.' The products are marketed under a special brand and have Canadian National Rdilpiti/it found a world market, though most of the product is marketed/-in?' Ganada and in ijhe Eastern States. Thousands of farmers now1 behest by the new maple .sugar "poul/* and' the maple sugar industry in at last on a huge commercial scale. Further steps have beeti taken by: the Quebec Government to extend the organisation among the-farm­ ers, The ■organization is operated1 exactly- as- Canada’s wheat pool; the farmers obtaining full benefit of top price.
