I. — SNOW IN AUTUMN At close of one November day, To our beds we stole away. When we awakened from our sleep We found the snow ten inches deep. The fairy shepherds clipped their fleece And Mother Nature plucked her geese, Spreading ermine all around, Decking trees and shrubs and ground. Magic artists everywhere Are painting pictures bright and fair. They dip their brush in liquid air, And ply their craft with skill and care. Strange sculptures with white marble dust Embalm the twigs in plastic crust. Among the branches here and there Hang sparkling diamonds pure and rare. Dame Nature has a winning start On all who practice scenic art. How awe inspiring is the thrill, To see all nature white and still. In a city white all decked in gold, Where saints abide, so we are told A passing glimpse of that glorious place Should help us all to win the race, If a- City of White we hope to see Made pure and white our hearts must be. J. W. Down. Mrs. Wm. Etherington lent her home for the November meeting of to Hurondale W.I. with president Mrs. Kirkland in charge. The meet­ ing opened by singing, “The Ode” and “O Canada”. Business was con­ ducted. A letter of thanks for box was received. Mrs Rundle gave the Red Gross report and Mrs. B. Tuck- ey on visiting the hospital at the airport.

This program will include the replacement of county and town­ ship bridges which have become solete. All Will Benefit ob- theMr. plans, in cities and towns, people living throughout our great north, all will benefit tremendously by adequate highways connecting them with other communities. In making commercial and pri­ vate trucking possible on a great scale, the premier said “This will not injure other means of trans­ portation.” “On the contrary, the greater movement of freight and supplies of all kinds by truck, the more business there will be for the rail­ ways, the airways and the ships. “I think it is no over-statement to say that to a very great degree the whole structure of our present way of living is based upon high­ ways and the vehicle moving over them, and that the speed of our post-war development in this prov­ ince will depend very largely upon Drew did not reveal but said “Farmers, workers OUJ.U Hdo QU.1J-& My 1VJ.XO. -XVAUX&C11JL-, XVII O,C.
