What is a road'? Motorists, de- spite their constant use of highways, might have a difficult time answer- ing that question. Evidence indicates that the aver- age motorist considers a road, from the standpoint of construction cost, as a slab of,surfacing material over which he drives Itis car. He ignores the elements represented in the right-of-way and the establishment of grades and laying of base mater- ials. The fundamental factors are fairly Permanent; in other words, not sub- ject to destruction nor to mainte Hance and replacement costs. The right-of-way, for instance, is paid for once and then may be forgotten. If the grade is established to, con- form to official standards and it must be if it is partially financed by federal aid funds—then it, too, is subject to but a single initial cost. With road experts making enor- mous progress in their efforts• to salvage base materials, about the only factor which is subject to de- terioration and wear is the actual surface, If the motorist thinks of this feature as the entire road, he may get a false impression of the longevity of the highway which he builds, although modern expensive surfaces do 'show vastly impeaved durability. In connection with their advocacy of a better comprehension of what actually constitutes a road, highway officials would have another aspect of highway life more thoroughly un derstood. It is that relating to the effect of traffic upon surface de- struction. The most searching of all investigations conducted by fed- eral scientists reveal that it is not the service it is called upon to ren- der so much as the' climatic condi- tions which it must resist that de- termines the degree of maintenance 'than a given highway will require. OBITUARY JAMES BROGDEN MACMATH News of the death of James Brog- den MacMath by drowning in the Maitland River came on Tuesday evening, July 23, as a tragic shock to all who knew him, Mr. MacMath was born in Goderich on Sept. 20, 1896.. He was the sort of Dr. James J. MaeMath and Janet Crabb, both of whom passed away while he was a small child. One brother, Christopher, died at the age of five years. Following the death of his parents,, he was adopted by his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh MacMath, Tor- onto, and until the age of eighteen, made his home with them there. Early in the First Great War, he left Collegiate to enlist in the Fifth University Company of the Princess Patricia's. Canadian Light Infantry, where he served until the end. Upon his return to, Canada, he at- tended the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph, learning the art of aie apiarist. At the time of his death and for many years previous to it, he was on the Huron County Inspec- tion Staff. In 1922 he was married to Miss. Pearle McCallum, East Hawkesbury, Ontario. Mr, MacMath possessed a person- ality which won for him a host of friends wherever he went, many of who remarked in sincerity upon learning of his death, that they had lost the best friend they had. No man could have been a worthier neighbor or truer friend or more highly characterized by generosity and kindness. He attended church faithfully, liv- ing and loving his religion. For many years he was a member of Parkdale Presbyterian Church, Toronto, and was on the Board of Managers there. He also taught Sunday Sehool for several years. At the time of his passing, be was a member of Wesley - Willis United Church, Clinton. bir. Macltlath was so ardently patriotic that he was an inspiration to those with whom he came in can- ted. It was very fitting that the village flag should be flown at half- mast to mark his passing attd that in Toronto the Union Jack should be draped over the casket of one who had served it well. Also in recogni- tion of his war services, a small Union Jack was presented as a tri- bute by the "Silver Cross", Women of the British Empire. Left to mourn his absence, is his wife to whom goes the sincerest sym- pathy of friends and neighbours everywhere, many of whom express- ed their sorrow by the beautiful, flcral tributes which they sent. On Wednesday evening a service, largely attended by friends and neighbors,, was held at his late resi- dence in Holmesville. Rev. Andrew Lane, minister of Wesley - Willis United Church, Clinton, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Harold! Wilding of IIohnesville United Church. The following morning the cortege went by motor to Toronto, where a service was held at Ross, Craig's Funeral Henle. The Rev. Mr. Lane was in charge, with Rev. Dr. Rochester (editor of the Presybterian Record and a family friend of long standing) giving the address and Rev. Mr. Wilding assisting, The pallbearers were the Messrs: W. S. Kelly, John MaeBeth, Tom Geggie, E. C. Downs, David. Seott and Jas. C. Johnston. Those accompanying the remains to Toronto were, besides Mrs. Mac - Math, Mr. S. R. MacMath and Miss Esther_ MacMath,Goderich; Miss Helen MacMath, London; Mrs. Geo. McIlwai'n and Mr. Bert Trewartha, Goderich Township, and Mr. Nelson Trewartha, Clinton, all cousins of the deceased. The last resting place is Forest Lawn Mausoleum in North Torenta. Me'. MaeMath's death, untimely as it seems to those left to mourn, and regretable to, all who were privileged to know him, marks the end of a life well spent in serving his fellow men, his Country and his Master.
