IMPROVING CREDITON RD.
The Crediton road from No. 4
Highway to the Parkhill road lead
ing to Grand Bend will before many
seasons, be one of the main roads
leading to the lakeside. The Cred-
itoxx road is a county road and at
present extensive operations are be
ing made to put it into first class
shape. A year or so ago a hard
surface was laid from the highway
at Devon corner to, Crediton. At
present workman are engaged in
widening and levelling the road
from Crediton to Shipka a distance
of about six miles, Telephone poles
are being moved back. A large ditch
ing machine owned and operated by
Chas. Dietrich, of Dashwood, has
completed the work of laying a
drain along the shoulder of the
road, A county caterpillar grader
and scraper has been levelling the
ditches and rounding up the road.
A bridge at Shipka is being widened
aud the bridge at Devon has been
torn out and workmen are now en
gaged iix widening it. The road
from Shipka to the Parkhill highway
was widened some time ago. AU
this is but the groundwork for a
hard surface tarvia road such as
has been built in otlxex’ parts of the
county but owing to the present war
conditions the finishing of the road
may be delayed for a time.

American visitors to Canada have
increased during the past week.
The tourist traffic which slowed up
during the early part of the sum
mer season, has started to pick up
and our American visitors realize
that many of the stories circulated
about war conditions in Canada
were wild and greatly exaggerated.
Our highways are smooth and safe,
the golf courses are green and the
fish are biting. The premium paid
on American money makes holiday
ing in Canada an attractive outing.
