I am very glad some one knew of the origin of Victoria Park, I made enquiries and was told just what 1 wrote. I trust you will kindly al low me to repeat the corrected state ment as published in this paper in the issue of May 13th. Quotation: ‘According to information we have received Victoria Park was laid out 52 years ago (that would be 1885) the land being donated to the town by Jos. Acheson and I Carling. Among those who assisted in plant ing the trees were Dr. Lutz, Robt. Sanders, Wm. Creech, Jos. Acheson and W. J. Carling.” , I trust these men will be honored names on a plaque securely fastened to one of the two cairns to be erect-1 ed. Another correction I should make I is that the money spent on the school [ grounds, I have been told, was pro vided by the school board and not. by the Horticultural Society as I had believed. Another statement that may be re assuring to our citizens is this: (There has not been a dollar collected, do nated or granted that has not been devoted to the improvement of our town or to pay necessary expenses. I know this to be absolutey true be cause I was auditor for many years associated with S. J. Elliott for part of the time and with W. J.’Ryckman in later years. Even the stamps on cheques and the postage on letters were particularly mentioned. The bank book was verified by the bank manager to us. May I suggest' that it would be well for the sake of cultivating the aesthetic tastes of^our children that the School Board make a grant to the beautifying of th'e school grounds and they see that it is used for that purpose. In appearance the grounds need touching up. Respectfully sub mitted. W. H. JOHNSTON Seaforth Wins .'The baseball season opened in Sea> forth on Friday evening last when Seaforth defeated Lxeter 5-4 in a game that produced the brand of ball usually seen in mid-season. The season was declared officially opened when W. H. Golding M.P. tossed a few strikes over the plate to Dr. E. A. McMaster, president of the ath letic association. iSeaforth went to the front in the first inning with two runs. Exeter scored one in the second and then after getting three men on bases in the fourth were given the chance to score on an error and wild throw Iby Seaforth. Seaforth’s grand stand finish came in the sixth when Clem Christie went in to bat for Bob Venus’ place. Christie singled a grounder between short and third that brought home two runs to tuck the game away 5-4. Two outstanding plays were made one by each centre fielder. J. Creech of Exeter, caught a long fly after a hard chase into deep centre for the third out when Fred Willis was at tempting to bring home two runners, Rex McGregor for Seaforth also made a nice running catch and then threw to second for a double. R. Rennie was the winning pitch er with 10 strike-outs to his credit. A. Fraser of Exeter gave a good ac count of himself also with 5 strike outs. Summary: R. H. E.

In a Line-Up you are Courteous— in the Traffic Lines YOU, like most people, are courteous when you line up at the wicket to buy tickets. You stay in your place, do not jostle your neighbour, you respect his rights, and otherwise act towards him in a courteous manner. But do you think and act towards your fellow-motorist in this same kind and courteous manner when you get behind the wheel of your car and roll along the highway? Do you sound your horn when about to overtake*him and then pass at a safe distance? Do you keep to the right so that others may safely pass you? Do you hand signal when you are about to stop, start, slow down or change direction? Do you drive at the speed of the traffic you are in so as not to impede other drivers and cause them to “cut-in”? When you need Io sound your horn do you do so in a friendly manner or do you give it a frightening blast? If you have not tried these courteous driving manners, I earnestly suggest that you try Courtesy when you get behind the wheel of your car or truck. TRY COURTESY The New Spirit of the Road To “Try Courtesy” is to add greatly to your own pleasure and safety in driving as well as to that of your fellow motorists.
