No doubt a coat of tarvia and sand put. • •.on' at the middle of August helps to • preserve the surface of the road but • its use as a dust layer during June and .July is nil. When the town council had charge of this work we used to hear a most awful hoed of protest if tarvia was not applied early "in June but since the County has as- sumed control of these two roads we seldom have it applied in time to do much peed as a dust layer. Some • effort should be made to get it on - earlier. The inaterial costs the same and the work of applying it is the same, why should not ,the merchants - and citizens have the advantage of, 'having it before the fall rains start The Seaforth Expositor last week in a leading editorial asks "Is the Depression Over?" then goes on to cite the fact that on the recent holi- day in the county hundreds, probably • thousands, of dollars were spent by pleasure seekers and ends up with the question, "Where does the money -• come from?" Everybody,knows that during the past three years money has not been ,as 'plentiful as it had been for three. or four years before that, and many have been and are still up •against it with a vengence. But everybody al to knows that far from suffering any privation the great majority of people are enjoying' many luxuries, or what used to be considered luxur- ies only to be enjoyed by the waale thy. Go to any place of amusement, ball game, movies or the like and the crowd present would indicate that there is no scarcity of money. Pact is, we have begun to consider a great many things as necessary which people in most other countries would consider luxuries, and to think it a terrible hardship to be deprived of them. • • • • The Ontario Royal Museum auth- orities are asking that people refrain from killing rattlesnalces, the reason assigned being that they do not bite and are useful in destroying field mice and other crcp destroyers. We do not know whether anyone who has a chance to kill a rattler will stop long enough to consider this advice but 'we do not think it very likely that many citizens of Ontario will have to snake up their mind en the matter. Rattle snakes are not very plentiful hereabouts, anyway. The writer once held a lantern while a boy shot a rattle snake at a sum - finer cottage in the Georgian Bay dis- trict. The snake was under the ver- andah of the cottage, it was dusk tied the fear was that the 'reptile would slide away under the building and escape. But the lad's aim was good and the snake was shot in two in the middle. The boy's father later told him that he should have sent the head to the research department, as it was not injured and it would have been useful for examination purposes. But neither he nor we thought of that at the time, being too intenton rid- ding the vicinity of a menace We were awarded the rattlers as a memento. TUCKERSMITH Harvest will soon be completed ir this district, the weather being ideal ;for work and drying the grain.

TILE LATE BLIGHT DISEASE OP TOMATOES (Experimental Farina Note During the late summer of 1932 late blight of tomatoes, which had never before been considered of great importance in the Maritime Pro- v]ns, was particularly troublesome along the Atlantic sea -board, It is the same disease which causes the destruction of potato plants and tub- ers. All parts of the tomato plant are attacked by the late blight disease, infected plants developing large, dark, water -soaked spots on the leaves and canker -like lesions on the stems. Under favourable conditions (cool, moist, weather) these injuries spread, causing the plants to turn black and die. The tomato fruits are also attacked by this disease, ap, peering as a firm brownish -green rather blotchy decay, most common ly originating at the stem -end and spreading to involve the entire fruit which eventually rots. Late blight is caused by the fun- gus, Phytophthora infestans. It grows inside the affected plant and spreads in the field by means of spares which may be seen in vast numbers •oi the lower surface of the diseased leaves. Prevention of this disease it made possible by early and thorough spraying with ordinary 'Bordeaux mixture, using the 4-4-40 formula. Tomatoes gathered front infested ar- eas should be held in a dry shed for several days when all infected to- matoes will be easily detected and discarded, HAVE STARTED CONSTRUCTION Construction work hag been start- ed on highway No. 23 between At- wood and Listowel.

SHOULD YOUR NAME BE OMITTED FROM VOT- ERS' LIST - A change in the municipal election laws which should ease the worries of the clerk and prevent dissatisfac- tion on the part of voters whose names have been omitted from the voters' list is provided this year by the addition of sub -section (8) to section 56, Municipal Act. By this enactment the clerk is authorized to issue a certificate to a deputy re- turning officer instructing him to enter a person's name on voters' list aid permitting the person to vote, where the person is entered on the last revised assessment roll and the clerk is satisfied that the person Is entitled to vote and that his name has been omitted by error from the voters' list. A clerk must be striet in his duty in this regard, as the responsibility for seeing that such persons are properly qualified is east upon him. Sections 21 and 43 of the Voters List Act have been trade sub- ject to this amendment and the names of persons may be added to the voters' list on the certificate of the clerk although the list has been certified by the judge. The clerk is not authorized to snake any change in voters' list as revised, but to issue, on application, a certiifcate to the returning officer or deputy return- ing officer of polling sub -division in which applicant has a right to vete. Municipal World, WHY SHE'S 'A SHE The question of why a locomotive is called "she" has been referred to a railroad official. He replies. "There are many reasons for this. For instance, she wears a jacket with a yoke, pins and shields. She has an apron and a lap, too. Not only does she have Shoes, but site sports pumps and even hose while she drags trains behind her. She also attracts atten- tion -with puffs and mufflers, and sometimes she foams and refuses to work. At such titres she needs to be switched. She needs guiding and she requires a man to feed her, but most characteristic of all is that she is much steadier when she is hooked UP!, DEEP DITCHES ARE TO BE DONE 'AWAY WITH Ontario .has some sleep ditches al- ongside her roads, and at last hag made up her mind that they must go to make traffic safer. This will not come to pass in a day, but it is the policy sof the Government, and the shoulders of the roads will be made ten feet instead of five. In some places work has already been begun in widening shoulders. SUPERFINE "Have you any good pork?" Butcher: "Good pork?

TOO MUCH OF 'A GOOD THING The time-honored custom of kissing babies .on political platforms may produce complications unless care is exercised. • Pretty little Joyce Sehnert; shyly profered a bouquet to Rt. I•Ion. W. L. Mackenzie King before the Liberal Ieader spoke at one of his stops on his recent western trip. "Does anything go with this?" asked Mr. King as he stooped and kissed her. Later he expressed his thanks for the presentation and remarked that the pleasure he had derived from what followed made hint wish that more donations of a similar nature might be trade, perhaps by some of the ladies. But when lie turned and found comely members of the Prince Al- bert ladies' soft -ball team waiting to thank him for a donation which he had made to the club, Mr. King look- ed startled, while the crowd burst into a shout of laughter. He shook hands with the ladies. CONCERNING ROAD BUILDING Editor News -Record: I am sure that the citizens of Clin- ton welcome the County Road Ma- chinery working eat our atveets, taken over by the County Council, namely Albert and King streets. But the ntateriui usecl is of poor quality, be- ing composed of lime stone, and a- bout one third of the Material crushed, the major part being round pebbles, the two thirds should be crushed granite or what is known by masons as hard -heads. It is a hard matter to roll marbles and al- lies or round pebble stenos together, Coencn or cement mortar or even tarvia, won't adhere to smooth lime stone, as it would to broken granite stone. Lime stone is a softer mater- ial and dusty, which will throw off mortar and tarvia. Pebbles will roll about and make a wavey road hollow in places, to hold water, and heavy traffic will dig holes in the read bed. In my letter of Jnly 27th I tried to explain the proper method of drain- ing and building a bottom for a per- manent road bed across guide -sand beds as there aro a number of them in our town roads. Proper drainage is a great essential in a roadway, for the difference in a good road and a bad road is the difference between a dry and a wet road. There is room for improvement in building the county roads through our town. And the same would hold good with our back and side streets. Hu- ron -Ontario, and Victoria streets were macadamized some years ago with 2-3 granite and one third lime- stone by some of our old councils; some of the members ale active yet and could give good advice on road building, such men. as Jas. Ford, B. Gibbings, D. Cantelon and A. T. Coo- per. These streets stood geed and were uniform, when the Province took them over. They were built with crushed stone and top dressed with the shale that was screened out of the crushed material and well roiled in, no tarvia being used, as that dope is too expensive for back streets. Thanking you for space in your newsy paper, yours, A. Cantelon, Builder, Clinton, Aug. 15th, 1933. (Mr. Cantelon has now expressed himself pretty fully on this subject and unless something else turns up wo must call a halt.—Ed.)
