But none of their fathers will ever forget their Sunday clothes. Not that they ever derived any physical comfort in'the wearing of them. Far from it. ' But 'there was something about the Sunday clothes of other days that lent a dignity and caste to their wearers so great that discom- forts were forgotten. It was the prospect of donning them next day that made the ' Saturday night scrubbing so much more endur- able, because Sunday clothes were Sunday clothes and only appeared on those days.

(Buffalo Express) ) There is something worth consider- ing in. -the thought that a road is a symbol of civilization. Sam Tate, chairman of the highway board of Georgia, gives it farm. It is the sav- age who lurks in the jungle, he re- marks; whenever man 'ventures out of the jungle and joins with his fellows ila°building a highway, however crude that highway may be, we see the be- ginning of civilization. If we accept this thought as. being the expression of an established fact. then it necessarily follows that high- ways as we know them to -day are a symbol of civilization and, association, relation and inter -dependence. A And although the old Romans showed us how roads might be built to last for centuries under the traffic of other days, we are now building roads which if the Romans were to come after us, would be a wonder to them, good road builders though they were. • It might too, be remembered that Rome in the best days of -the great empire, ex- emplified the highest civilization the world had known up to that period. This is something worth remember- ing if at times we are rather stag- gered at the vast sums ,which are now being spent to .build the roads which modern day traffic demands and at the vast sums which must be spent for many years to c••omplete and to maintain that system. Civilization is expensive, but after all it has its ad- vantages over life in the jungle; very few, oo- some misfor• tune or calamity, notalways the work of Providence either, that the eery day. clothes had to go into dry clock fora day or•a part of one, and the boy appeared at school in his Sunday clothes. But these times were so few and far between that they were red letter days and all old boys remember most of them. It is very different with the modern boy, his sister, his father and his -mother. They are on parade six days a week 90 they choose Sunday for a slack day, a day of undress, and Sun- day clothes have become almost a thing of the past. In speaking of this . passing custom, the Kincardine Reporter says: "When talking recently about the passing of many of the customs of former days it was pointed out that even Sunday clothes ars passing. We do not think the observer actually means the style of clothing, but that in recent years the custom of having special, carefully cared -for clothes for Sunday wear only, was passing. Yes, il‘wasn't so long ago that a man had a special dark Sunday suit and never thought of appearilig that day unless he perspired freely under a stiff col- lar and well starched shirt, nor did a woman think of going out unless she wore -her long gloves. Sunday Y clothes are passing, and the reason for ,that is that people do not pay so much attention to what others am . wearing—probably because the styles have hit about every angle possible and can't vary much more." It may be a passing style, but the yputh of to -day slid their elders too,F will never experience the 'thrill of thrills, the excitement and satisfac- tion their predecessors experienced in donning their Sunday clothes.

DUPLICATE ROADS The Manhattan, Kansas, Mercury says that what that country needs io not a good five cent cigar, as Vice - President 'Marshall once said, but a duplicate set of highways—one to re- pair and one to drive on. Western Ontario, likewise, needs a duplicate set of highways, .before all, its citizens will be completely satis- fied- a highway for sleighs and cut- ters anda highway for cars and trucks. - In summer, of course, we can get along nicely with one road, but in -winter, especially a winter like the present, it is different. For nearly a month the heavy snows have almost •completely banished the cars from the highways. That suits some peo- ple, many people in fact, because they think that trying to keep the roads .open in winter for cars is forcing on the taxpayers a huge renr unnecessary expense. These people also believe that peo- ple will not travel nearly so far afield with a horse and cutter as they would with a car. That people would stay at home and save money; that busi- ne±ss would be improved in the villages and towns. But that belief is by no means's general ''one. In fact there is an eq- ual, if rt greater, body of people who don't 'belieive any, such. thing. These latter insist that 111q -pads "should be kept open for cars, no matter what the snowfall may be. There is too n'ruch money invested in cars to have theni idle in winter is their claim, For several winters the Highways Tleparti lent has beers fairly successful in satisfying both of these parties. 7'at' Witt because the snowfall was eoniparati sly light.

Much of 're success of t e programme was ue to the untir g efforts of Miss Mary M•eNaughte , teacher in School Section No. 3, Tuckersmith. After the programme, the children brought heir gifts to the platform.

He ''as sent, to a mission station eleven miles from Rosetown, Sask. After rreaching the first Sunday the people held a congregational meeting and de- rided that they would not keep ltim as they were afraid they would be unable to give him any support. Nothing daunted, he got the ler0, of a pony the next week and visit.,, 30 families. The next Sunday they de- cided to ask him to stay. He prch- 'd once in the afternoon and .started a Sunday school and Young People's Society. As farm hands were scarce, he donned overalls and worked all summer, helping harvest the crop. When he left they were able to pay him his support and gave over $100 to the mission fund. Work like that 's certainly worth while.—Mr. John McIntosh will give an address on his -vork next Sunday evening. — Mrs. }lasting and family, of Belgrave, are the guests of the former's mother 'week, Mrs. Janet Ross. — Miss Gladys Addison has completed a very successful graduation in the Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital, and she has left for her home in Bruceveld for a two months' rest.
