BAD LAST WEEK Roads Now Passable But Rough With the warm weather of last week plus a heavy downpour of rain, the frost came out of the roads and traffic was almost at a standstill' for a few days. Every road that was not paved in this district was in a terrible state as the trucks and cars churned: up the surface. Hay and gravel were used to fill the holes and it was sur­ prising how quickly traffic was under way again. The highways were the worst, in places large holes occurring no doubt from the heavy traffic that they were called upon to carry. The frost came out so quickly that the condition of the roads turned bad al­ most like magic. Saturday and Mon­ day reports were that the sideroads were much betterjhan the-highways, the main roads being very rough. In many spots cars and trucks went down to the floor-boards before the holes were filled with hay and gravel. No accidents happened in this vic­ inity but near Walton on Wednesday night, an automobile owned and driv­ en by David: Cragg, R.R. 2, Blyth, plunged into a wash'ed-out culvert. The driver escaped with a few bruis­ es, but his car was badly damaged. One salesman had a round-about­ trip from Kincardine to Wingham. In his effort to avoid bad roads Thurs­ day morning he came here by way of Walkerton, Harriston, Palmerston, Listowel, Mitchell and Clinton, a- dis­ tance of 133 miles. The direct route would have only been 35 miles. New Home Rented Mr. C. A. Roberts, of the Western Foundry, has leased Elmer Wilkin­ son’s new house on Patrick .Street and takeS possession April 1st.

Would Tighten Highway Act Impounding of motor cars for three months in cases where convictions are registered for reckless and drunk­ en driving is provicjed in a bill intro­ duced in the Ontario Legislature by Highways Minister McQuestcn.

MONKTON JANITOR WAS THREATENED Received Three or Four1 Threatening Letters. Norman Berlett, the public school janitor at Monkton, who received three or four threatening letters through the mails during the past month, one of them containing gun­ powder and matches, refuses to di­ vulge any particulars of the matter and remains strictly mute, answering all inquiries with the reply that he has nothing to tell the papers and has left everything in the hands of the police. If there is anything to divulge, Mr. Berlett says the authorities will be the persons from whom to secure the information. He won’t tell where he was ordered to place the sum of mon­ ey demanded by the would-be extor­ tionist, nor will he say what amounts were demanded or how the letters were worded; although he did admit previously that the third and last let­ ter demanded $500. The letters were each signed “Mr. X.” but Mr. Berlett has no idea who that may be, because he says he Jias no enemies, although he informed the police that one man might be connected! with the case. In February, 1937, he received a postcard through the mails of much the same type as the recent letters, and it was mailed in Monkton. He said that he might be able> to raise the $500, said to have been demand­ ed in the third letter this month, but since he had bought a house recently he didn’t have that much cash in the bank. Mr. Berlett is in his 30’s, un­ married and lives with his father. The threatening letters have not caused him any worries, he says. In the meantime, police officials and postal authorities are continuing their inves­ tigations, but have nothing to report.
