Huron County Extends
System Of Salt Roads
Ten additional miles of experimen-
tal salt roads are being constructed in
Huron County this year, becausea
stretch built last year is. giving good
satisfaction. Four utiles between Dun-
gannon and Lucknow, just finished,
has the appearance of a new, smooth,
paved highway, and in great favoi
with motorists.
"It will take some years before we
can put, the final stamp of approval
on salt roads, but they ai'e infinitely
better and safer than the old gravel
road, and cost only p200 per mile,"
said County Engineer Roy Patterson
when asked about it.
The construction is simple, the
highway is scarified, and a mixture of
salt, clay and fine gravel rolled in.
Last year 20 tons of salt to the mile
was used: This year the ratio has
been cut to 15 tons. The percentage
of clay to gravel is six. The three-
inch surface when used becomes as
hard as stone and is dustless.
Huron County, already proud of its
toad system, and with an unlimited
supply of salt available, is aiming and
in a fair way to lead the province in
the matter of good roads.

A CANADIAN WRITES
TO LONDON EDITORS
(A letter in the London Spectator)
Sir: — Could anyone suggest to
London editors that it would be a
good idea for them to buy an atlas
to which their staff writers could re-
fer when mentioning places in`Can-
ada? Particularly, this applies to
the Tittles and Observer, two papers
that have been taught to believe were
infallible. Punch snakes fearful how-
lers in its verse when'refetring to
places outside England.
Recently ethe Times had a photo-.
graph of the Ring, when Prince of
Wales, on
horseback on his ranch
near Manitoba"1 Now the King's
ranch, as everyone knows, is in Al-
berta; the next province eastward is
Saskatchewan, and after that, six or
seven hundred miles away, comes
Manitoba. Believe it or not, there are
quite a number of places between the
"E.P. Ranch" and Manitoba!
The Weekly Times had an editorial
on Canadian Provincial Debts in
which came the quite unpardonable
words "....the every unsatisfactory
budget before the Vancouver Legisla-
ture." Don't they know, in London,

is Victoria, on. Vancouver Island? It
is possible that geography even that
of the empire, has been left out of
the curriculum in English schools? I
feel sure that the Times office has its
radios, and telephones, and televis-
ions, and cablegrams, and everything
n to date—except
o a Ido
pmap.wish
they would buy one. It would save
a lot of bail feeling on this side.
In the+Court and Personal column
of the Observer I see a notice word-
ecl as follows: "Sir Percy Vincent
will visit Canada in August where he
will be a guest of tate State of Van-
couver." Now where and what is
the State of Vancouver? We in Bei-
tish Columbia know all too well what
'the state (with a small s) of Vancou-
iver is just now but—the State? That
lhas an American savour, we don't
!grow States in Canada. Perhaps the
editor meant Province? And why of
:Vancouver? Please tell him this is
a town.
And now to cap all comes a really
flagrant breach of Imperial diplo-
macy. In the Times Weekly of April
f9th is a photograph of Vancouver,
captioned below, "Vancouver, the
!capital of British Columbia"!
But here words fail rte. Perhaps
you inay be able to do, something
