He is Billy Gibson, known as Pudge around town, and son of Robert and Mrs. has had a yen for buildin A few Gibson. From a very small )5 , Billy years back, he built with the help of some pals, a tree house on the flats of the Maitland, It was complete with cooking and sleeping accommodation, a rope ladder the only means of reach- ing the hut, thirty feet in the air, Two years ago he built a cabin on the bank of the river, it too is complete in every detail, Billy and his pals have spent many pleasant hours cooking their own meals and keeping the house in good order: --His latest project is a motor boat which he built with the help of Bob Brown, also of Wroxetee. The boat, which took three months' spare time to build, is highly polished and the seats are upholstered in bright red. It is even equipped with life belts. Now that the new boat has been given a try out on the river the clues- ion is What Name?

Drive up Josephine Street any morning before the Stores open and you will probably conclude there's some- thin in the argument. Apparently nobody wants parking meters, and from past experience the two-hour parking limit has been found to. be impracticable, Perhaps there is a simple solution. A bright red sticker, with the words MERCHANT PARKER in hold letters, firmly affixed to the windshield of the offending vehicles, might do the trick, Then per- haps we'd all be shamed into parking around the back. ALONG THE BYWAYS In the hustle and bustle of this modern day the ten- dency is always to take the shortest route anywhere, and get there as fast as possible. To do this most motorists stick to the well-travelled highways, where higher speeds are possible. Nowadays, for the first time, there are prob- ably motorists who have never driven their cars on any- thing but pavement., The concession roads have their attractions, too, While they may riot have the glazed surfaces of the Queen's Highways, they generally have more in the way of scenery, And for pleasure driving there is the advan- tage of having less traffic to cope with. Next time you're going somewhere, try the sideroads. The longest way 'round may not necessarily be the short- est way home. But it's probably the most interesting. WE ALL PAY TAXES One of these days, somebody's going to start a Non- ratepayers' Association in self-defence. or the idea seems prevalent in certain circles that unless a person pays municipal taxes, he has no stake in the community. People who rent are human, too. And as such they are subject to all forms of taxation except the municipal. They pay sales tax, income tax, tobacco tax and all the host of other federal and provincial taxes to which the human flesh is heir. When it comes to building a new well over half of the money comes from Ottawa or Tofontc.)—that is, out d the pockets of every- one, tenant and landlord - alike. In actual fact municipal -taxes are but a small percentage of the total tax burden. In the municipal field the much-maligned renter does double-duty. Not only does he indirectly pay the taxes on the house he's renting-, but he Provides a profit for the landlord as well. HIGHWAY HAVENS Scattered along the highways throughout the north- ern part of the province are 62 parks provided by the gov- ernment for the motorist who likes to camp along the way. And it doesn't cost him a cent. Varying in size from half an acre to nearly 400 acres, these camps are situated for the most part in picturesque sections of the country, beside rivers and lakes. Most of them are equipped with such modern conveniences as -picnic tables, toilet facilities, garbage disposal. Most of them even supply firewood. A booklet is distributed by the provincial gov'ernment, describing the location and facilities of all the parks. Truly Ontario is fast becoming a place where the tourist is king!
