PAGE 5 OF INTEREST TO YOU AND ME, The lovely weather we enjoyed all last week was really almost worth -waiting until the first week in May for. We certainly live in a fast age. According to the daily newspapers His 'Majesty, King George, has en- tered the jubilee year of his reign, the twenty-fifth. It took his grand- mother,' Good old Victoria, sixty sears to attain her jubilee. •••' It was a marvel how quickly ' the leaves came out. On Thursday morn- ing there seemed to b'e'little sign of them, not a bit of, green showing. By Friday the buds had burst their shells an'd every gaunt old tree was showing 'its new dress of dainty, delicate green. Speaking of miracles, isn't .every spring a miracle? We have often wondered how it was that so often you'll find a whole ,community made up of Scottish fam- ilies, the descendants of early settlers -w.ho came out from Scotland and took up• bush farms. We supposed that it was just natural clannishness, but Mr.. Hugh Templin, in his little .hook about Fergus, gives a reason why that community was settled by Scots, he says: "Mr. . . ,who came to Fergus' in 1838, states that a barrel 'of whiskey was left on a stump in front of the hotel and every traveller was allow- ed to help himself, and he ,claimed that this was the reason why so -many Soots who reached Fergus nev- er went any further." LONDON. ROAD Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Tasker and daughter, Mary, sof Centralia, spent Sunday with Mr. and •Mrs. Glen Mc- Knight. 11l'n and Mrs. B.-Rowcliffe had as their guest on Sunday their, little granddaughter, Barbara Dawn Wright of Seaforth, Miss 1Vlabel }Touch, assistant -mat- ron at the Iluron County Home, is sporting a new Chev. car. Mrs. Jack Davison and babe' spent a few days last week with her par- ents in Hullett township. Mr. and Ml's. Frank Morgan and Margaret and 'Wilfred of Hensall were the guests on Sunday of Mr. and Mae. W. Swinbank. .. a • Councillor Inkley is working hard to have Clinton begin on the beauti- dication of a town park, but he does - get much assistance. Councillor Inkley has some excel- lent ideas in regard to this matter. He would take the park we have, would plant trees and shrubs, per- haps lay out some flower beds, have 'the bandstand down there, with some seats for those who have no cars to sit in, and would have it lighted and 'fixed up in such a way that it would 'be a beauty spot and a credit to the 'town. Of course, this could not be done in one year,'npr, in two, hut as Mr. Ink- rey says, a start . could be made, "`That pari: has been there for se- venty-two years," Mr. Inkley said at .the council meeting on Monday even - Ing, "and it is in on better shape how than it was then. It is just a field." It is very true that a town like 'Clinton has not very much money to spend on beautification, but a good .deal can be done if people are really interested. The . News -Record has suggested before now that if Clinton would obtain possession of what is known as "Fair's Pond," clear it out, introduce some sort of drainage, so that the water could be kept fresh, ''trim those old willows which grow about it and incorporate It in the park, keeping the entrance cleaned up, the grass cut and everything nice and tidy it would be a great asset to -the town. But nobody seems a bit interested in that park, any further than to keep it in readiness for games due- , 'ing the summer season, except Coun- cillor Inkley, and it looks as if he ie fighting a losing battle so far. But Rome wasn't built in a day and per- ' haps Clinton will yet have a lovely park in which her citizens can take Teride. a • ■ It is to be hoped the council will seriously consider and then take eome action toward abating the dust nuisance. For the past few years, since the county has taken over the care of the front streets, Clinton merchants have suffered considerab- ly from this trouble. It is an littera impossibility to :- keep their stocks clean and it is a very nriseralile thing to live in clouds' of dust, even if it were not a menace to health and a detriment to stocks. Even if the county does treat the •centre of Albert street, and we have waited already two or three years for some such action, the sides will not be treated and considerable dust •will still fly. Then, the streets which have been •gravelled the past couple of seasons should have some sort of dust layer put on them. Fine gravel, when summer conies, with cars flying in all -directions, as they io as; soon as a street becomes smooth, throws off constant clouds of dust, to the des- pair of tidy housekeepers, who spend hours trying to keep their houses clean but who find it impossible ow- 'ing to this dust nuisanee. It is poor economy, too, as a dust 'layer, any sort, oil, calcium chloride or .what have you, is a surface saver andhaps preserve re e e the road which p s -the ratepayers' money has been apent in building up. ' When something is used to keep this material where it belongs the road is kept smooth and intact, while if it is, allowed to be dis- persed in all directions "•by every car which sweeps along, much of this material is lost as far as the road le !oncerned and while it 'is valuable road material, it is not appreciated where it lights, on verandah floors • and on the housewives' clean rues and'feeniture, er in the hair, lungs or, clothing of citizens. When a new road is built it would be good economy to put down some sort of a dust layer at once. The ..cost would be small compared with the savingin the end and it would -mean comfort to householders. GODERICH TOWNSHIP Council Meeting:—Council met in Holmesvillo on Monday last. Corre- spondence from the Dept. of Agri- culture re Weed Inspectors meeting in Clinton 'on Friday May 11 at 1 p,m. The Weed Inspector also the road Supt. were requested to attend. The Clerk was delegated to attend at the 'meeting in Bayfield on May 9 to determine the share our Township should pay towards the maintenance of Bayfield Division Court. The council' decided to discontinue relief payments after May 1. Hydro Electric by-law to change the term. of contract from 20 years to 5 years was read a third time, this does not affect guarantee contracts' nor those who are not users of current for "5 years. The Seed Grain bylaw came in for discussion, Councillor Jervis favored, passing it while others were opposed on the ground that there were too many chances of it being abused, there being only one request nothing was done. The Collector presented his state- ment of unpaid teas, the arrears being all non-residents, this was a a good showing. Council decided to. make their an- nual tour of inspection of roads and bridges on May 22 or 23rd. The following payments were made: Relief accounts, $52.68; Ar- nold Porter, sheep claim, $6.00; Reg Sturdy, valuing sheep, $3.60; Supt. pay voucher No. 4, $320.18. Council then adjourned to meet on Saturday, May 26th, at 10 a.m. for Court of Revision and general busi• nese.—R. G. THOMPSON, Clerk. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Livermore of London spent tho week -end with the latter's brother, - Mr. Lawrence Stephenson. • Mr. and Mrs. Phil Raynard of Lon- don were guests on Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Stephenson. Mrs. Arthur Stephenson is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Eva Wheeler of Parkhill.

Mrs. Garvie of this township' has a copy of the New Era dated May 6th, 1887, in which is a report of the accidental death of her husband, W. Garvie. The unfortunate- man was' engaged with another man named Cudmore in sawing in the woods. There was a very high wind blowing, which blew over a dead hemlock tree, which fell on Mr. Genie's lefb side, inflicting such wounds that he died two hours later. His shoulder and several ribs were broken and he was torn and injured iri several ways. Although the tree splintered in all directions Oudnrore escaped unhurt. Garvie was carried to the house and a doctor summoned but it was known at once that nothing could be done for him. Ho was conscious before death came and realized his condition' and was resigned. He had but re- cently bought the property on which he was living, on the 16th. He was married to a daughter of. Mrs. Barr and was survived by his wife and one 'child. The item said he was a steady and industrious young man and was respected by his neighbors. School report for S. S.
