This year “blossom time” in the
Niagara peninsula is to be celebrat
ed on a really ambitious scale. It
will not merely be a Sunday parade
of motor cars from all parts of the
province and from across the border,
though tihe closely packed proces
sion of vehicles will be longer than
ever as a iconsequence. It is going
to be a much more prolonged affair,
with elaborate programs worthy of
the occasion, dances and festivities
of all kinds. An energetic commit
tee is determined to make tihis a
memorable event, not this year only
but an annual celebration attracting
thousands of sightseers and merry
makers of the locality. And the
favored peninsula, decked out in its
glorious spring finery, has plenty to
stir the enthusiasm of visitors and
give them an unforgettable impres
sion of nature at her loveliest. All
this wealth of beauty should be en
joyed by more than tihe comparative
few who happen to know about it.

$2,000 ELECTRIC range
FOR COUNTY HOME
The Huron County Council has
had installed at the County Home a
monster electric range which is at
tracting 'considerable attention, many
peopie having called at the institu-'
tion to inspect it. The range has
separate double stove, two separate
ovens and a toaster which will
handle sixteen slices at the same
time. -In preparing meals for 'the
ninety-one inmates and members of
the staff it is proving a great con
venience. In addition to saving la
bour, it is expected that .it will be
more economical to operate as the
annual fuel bill for the year at the
home has amounted to around $600.

Graduate of Times
Office Completes 37
Years as Editor
The (first issue of The Times, Wet-
askiwin, Alberta, was published on
March 20th, 1901, by tihe present
ownex’ and editor, V. C- French, son
of Mrs, Florence French, Clinton
and a former employee in the Exeter
Times Office,
Commenting on the milestone he
ihas just passed the editor refers to
the many changes which have taken
place in the community since the
first issue of Tihe Times. He has
seen it glow from a hamlet to be
come the prosperous commercial
centre it is today. iSpeak'iixg editor
ially he has this to say about weekly
newspapers:
“Any weekly newspaper’s sphere^
of influence is to be measured by
time for it remains decade after de
cade an integral part of the life of
each family of which it is a member.
It is as much a part of the family
life it serves as the family cat or
dog. When you strike at your dog
you are attacking youi* best friend,
and when you try to do away with
the cat you (find it (has nine lives.
Such on many occasions has been
the case of the Times. We have been
“struck at” many times, but we con
tinue to “carry on” as a representa
tive journal of the Wetaskiwin dis
trict. As a newspaper, Tihe Times
has never shirked its responsibilities
and as a result is proud of its stand
ing among the weekly papers, not
only of Alberta, but of Canada.
“A weekly newspapei’ is the mir
ror through wihich a community is
judged by the outside world. We, '
therefore, earnestly appeal to the
business men of the Wetaskiwin dis
trict to co-operate with us in the pub
lication of a paper which will prop
erly reflect the true commercial
position of this prosperous farming
community, which is recognized as
one of -tihe best in Western Ontario.”
The Times is a newsy weekly and
his editorial is representative of the
paper. We congratulate Mr. French
on his work and wish ihirn every suc
cess for the future.
HAND INJURED
Mr. Ed. Beaver, who is employed
at Kalbfleisch’s mills, Zurich, had
the misfortune to get his hand in
contact with a swiftly revolving
