OF INTEREST TO YOU
AND ME
Wingham has fixed its tax -rate •at
:fifty mills this year, so ,Clinton's for-
, ty-four looks rather .low.
Tomorrow is the longest day in the
;year and we have, not had two hot
-days together so far this. season.
Wp have had more rain during the
• past few weeks than fell in any one
of the past thiee er four seasons.
This ought to ensure good crops.
If it rains much more we . shall
hear' the farmers complaining of
roots rotting in the ground, etc. Lit-
tle work can be ,done on the farms
'this week owing to, the rain. •
Bass fishing season opens this
year on June 2901. This is a special
concession of the department to far -
eft Dominion Day week -enders who
wish to cast in'a line on Saturday.
What about our civic flower beds
this year? They look pretty badly
neglected,. The council voted $10 for
them, an inadequate sum, of course,
but even that does not seem to be
being used. Those flower beds, when
looked after by the Horticultural So-
• eiety, added muoh to the appearance
of the town. In fret, nothing adds so
much to the beauty of any town as
well -kept lawns and flower gardens,
and a civic beauty spot here and
there throughout the town is so much
• to the good.
