LET NO ONE FORGET THAT
Mother's Day is Sunday next,
May 8, when for one day in the
365, Mother is "Queen"" and will
be paid a fitting tribute, although
she has been busy doing the
cooking ` sewing, mending and
washing for the rest of the year
All honour lo our ' mothers;
they are our best friends!

VERY DEFINITELY, SPRING IS
here, and one might have gone
so far as to say it was summer
yesterday, when the mercury
jumped to 84 degrees above in
the shade during the afternoon
Most people are of the
opinion that the heat won't last
very long, however, as the weath-
er seems a little unseasonable . , ,

THESE ARE BUSY DAYS, TOO,
in town and countryside ,.. The
farmers are up to their necks in
their spring work, with seeding
Just about done everywhere , ,
The townspeople are busy in their
gardens, too, and some have made
a pretty fair start during this
favorable weather . . . Growth
is away ahead of most other
years .

WE THINK IT'S ALL VERY
well to put calcium chloride on
the highways and streets to lay
the dust, but woeldn't oil make
a much .better and more perm-
anent showing? , As far es
we can see, this calcium chloride
is just fine for a very short per-
iod, but after that --it is absolut-
ely useless ., .. Albert Street, and,
the ''section 'around the Post Of-
fice, are prime examples of what
shouldn't be in the way of *swirl-
ing dust
IT ' IS BEGINNING TO LOOK
as if our proposed new pavement
on Albert Street, north to the
concrete pavement et the town
limits, is a little distance away
as yet, metaphorically speaking

Minister of Highways, to come
up and have a look for himself

order to proceed at once if he
