Two Royal Commissions, it,was pointed out here today by an sso- ciation official, have found that two - .thirds of road eonstructiop and main- tenance costs should be paid by those 'who actually use. the roads, and the balance by other interests. Although highway revenues and motor vehicles' registration have doubled in the past 13 years, it was stated, no move has been made to +lighten 'the finen.eialburden. which •counties have had to carry in connec- tion with highway improvement. Extensive, deterioration in. county :road systems has been the result, it is felt, and this condition will be fur- ther aggravated unless the counties receive a more equitable share of On.- tario's road taxes.' • reforestation in connection with high- way improvement. • 1 R.

Curran, editor of the Sault Ste, Marie "Star", will speak on ,Northern Ontario roads. 1 Forums' by various municipal offi- cials will be on highway financ- ing and control, the municipalities and the highway improvement act, township road problems, and the re- gulation of load weights. Mr. Mahoney will present a digest of the brief prepared for the asso- ciation's presentation to the Royal Commission on Transportation. William Colby, of Chatham, will give his presidential address at the morning session on Feb: 23, and in Clle afternoon the .1,000 delegates ex= peeted to attend will be welcomed by Toronto's mayor, Ralph C. Day. More emphasis will also be given to the question of highway safety at this year's convention, according ta T. J. Mahony, secretary -treasurer •of the Ontario' Good Roads Associa- tion, It will be urged that present subsidies for bridge and culvert re- placements be increased, since many •of the existing structures were built for traffic of the "horse, and buggy" era, with no view to the present-day traffic demands. The subject will be discussed by H. G.' Fester, Ontario Safety League president; W. J. Moore, Renfrew County Engineer; and J. A. Grant provincial police chief inspector. Featured speaker at the associa- tion's annual banquet on Feb. 24 will be G. G. McGeer, present M.P. and Termer mayor of Vancouver. "We pave asked him to address us,"'com- mented Mr. Mahoney, "because of his enthusiasin as an advocate of good roads and because of his firm belief that the• expenditure on our highways 'in the Past has hroiught good returns 'and, -in view of the, tremendous; pos silities for tourist traffic will ung •;questionably bring greater returns in ' the future."'

Finances were raised by voluntary contributions, suplemente' by the proceeds from a euehr and dance held two weeks ago, anc a similar event will be held on Fri flay evening, The equipment is not elaborate, bu is efficient. For quick transporta tion an old Chevrolet. car has been rebuilt on which is mounted arotary imam.

A Reader Wants To Know IS MR. HEPRURN TO BLAME? Once upon a time, quite a 'number of yearsago,one of the Federal el- ectoral districts of Huron was repre- sented by a venerable gentleman, mw deceased. This man was a staunch Liberal and proclaimed- his principles on campaigning wd•th all the fury and tenacity of any roan who carne from the heather land. In his efforts to drive home his arguments he always blamed the Tories for ev- eiything that happened in the com- munity. There is one question he was credited with asking and answer- ing at the same time, "Wha' burned the Kinburn. Cheese Factory? 'The Tories." If he were living to -day to -d would it. be possible to take him to Niagara Falls and convince him to the belief "Who is to `blame for all this de- struction. 'Is it Hepburn. Part of the London Road near Brueefield his ,hydro policy?" -A READER. Not The First Triplet Calves In Huron In last week's issue we reprinted an article taken, from the Wingham Advance -Times regarding the birth of triplet calves which were referred to as being the first' born in, Huron. Apparently the editor was not correct in that statement e S m tit as we notice in his last edition that he has been called to task by a. reader in that locality who reports a similar happening a few years ago, and wetoo have re- ceived a similar report. Hi 1924tete t n sed farmers were. following the beaten track' to Mr. J. T: McKnight's farm on the London Road when the news was circulated that a Polled Angus cow had given birth to' three calves which were just as black as their mother,and d as wild as deer. The trio were born in the hush adjoining the 'farm, and were great friends with am old driving horse which was running in : the bush; at that time. Mr.' McKnight recalls that to get the calves to the barn he had to first catch the horse, and the. calves and their mother followed him to the barnyard. There he had to stage a rodeo; to get them inside the barn. It took several weeks for the trio to tame dawn in their new sur- roundings. After a period of feeding, the calves were brought to the baby beef stage and shipped to market. Pictures .of them were taken shortly after birth, and also before being ^, ed shin to. mar- ket, 4 lcet, the later by the agricultural re- presentative, "Steve" Stothers. These pictures appeared in the Globe, Far- mers' Advocate, Faanily Herald and other papers. Going back further into history we find that in 1908 a Shorthorn cow 'n the Wise homestead in Goderich, township presented her owner with three lively calves which thrived and grew to maturity, two remaining in. the township an nearby farms Inc stock improvement. purposes. Unlike the trio referred to above, these three became quite tam . e. The boys, Bert , Charles and William, were able to make pets of then and it was no un common sight to 'see the boys lead- ing them around, GOIi'ERICH TOWNSHIP Miss Bessie Dunbar of Lambeth epentthe past week with her sou ,in, Mrs. Fred Wallis of the Btu Water Highway.
