„4,ave. roads as nature
1n in. winter for this part
r10, er are we to have summer
1, the year round?
Ilere questions which have
eelx debated in this seeder',
s'alnd ; 'fact; ipasey sections of Ontario
or some weeks back, and as yet the
txebaters have failed to arrive at a
u ianiropus decision.
Nor while human nature remains
�kk
y' '0,gman nature, are the two parties
,;iikely.to arrive at an amicable settle -
`t inent ,of the' question. As it is now,
-%t is pretty 'much a question of whose
ox is being gored. The man whose
are laid up, naturally wants the roads
1 opt open. The man whose business
profits, or thinks it would profit more
by having cars and trucks off the
roads in winter, naturally wants to
save the expense of keeping them open.
This winter being what is called an
old fashioned winter, we have had
both kinds of roads. For two weeks
before Christmas and until after New
Years, no Government plows went
through on the highway, consequent-
ly there were no cars of any kind able
to run on the roads. That was satis-
factory to some people.
Then the day after New Years the
highway was opened through to Gode-
rich and cars were running again.
That satisfied the other side, but up
to .a certain point only. A man could
use his ear driving east or west, on
one road only. That was not enough.
North and south and all ether roads
were snow roads, and whether the
sleighing was good or bad on them,
they were all impassable for cars.
That is a situation that is not, and
never will be, satisfactory to either'
party. The man who wants to drive
, his car on business or the man who
depends on truck delivery, has to
change to a horse vehicle when he
leaves the highway. On the other
hand, farmers and mail couriers who
have to use sleighs or cutters on other
roads, have to change to wheeled
vehicles when they come to the high-
way.
That is the situation this year, and
it will be the situation every year in
which there is a heavy snow fall, and
in this part of the province we may
:confidently look forward to many
more •winters such as this.
That is why the situation should be
faced and a decision aa -rived at by the
people, in whose hands it rests en-
tirely. Half and half roads will not
Rio. The expense of keeping the high-
way open alone is out of all propor-
tion to the benefit derived from it by
the people of the county as a whole.
If the provincial highway is to be
kept open for cars in winter, then all
the county roads should be kept op -
.en for a similar purpose, as should
also some of the main township roads.
That all these roads call be kept
•perfectly clear for car driving in win-
ter has been satisfactorily demon-
strated by the present use of plows
on the highways. That people would
use tliam almost as freely in winter
as they do in summer, if they were.
;kept open, is equally apparent. The
.question is are the people willing to
pay to have them kept open?
The Government phew that opened
the highway through here en Thurs-
day of last week' was about tha size
of a freight engine. It and the truck
which followed it carried a c-ew of
about a dozen men. It wouldn't get
twenty miles to the gallon, but it did
the work thoroughly. It would take
two sllch plows to keep the highway
.clear in rough weather, between Strat-
ford and Goderich.
The county would require the use
of at least a dozen plows to keep
their roads open. All of which runs
into money, so much money that many
people proclaim the schema im-
practical, even preposterous.
But wait! Less than twenty years
ago if a man had prophesied that this
county, and the townships in it,
would be spewing what we are on
roads to -day, he would have been
looked upon as an imbecile. Yet
great as that sum is, it is not yet
enough to satisfy the people, for
more than one mouth in the year and
that is the month, in which they re-
ceive their tax notices.
The question of what kind of win-
ter roads we are to have is now up•
for decision. And it is the people
'Who will have to make that decision.
.Better put one hand on your car and
';one on your tar notice and figure it
:atit in your head. Either the people
itif this county are saving money by
sing snow roads in winter, or they
;are losing money by keeping the cars
ffia the roads during those friths, and
tflie sooner the people find tut which
%t is, the better it will be for all eon -

STAFFA
Died In Winnipeg.—The Winnipeg
Free Press of January and, makes the
following reference to the death of a
well known resident of this district:
"John A. Norris, who for more than
22 years had been a resident of Win-
nipeg, died early this morning at his
home, 100 Sherburn Street, aged 70
years. Mr. Norris was born at Staffa,
Pcrth County, Ont., in 189, and dur-
ir.g his youth and early manhood was
n- a of that class of Canadians who
had given to Canada so many exam-
ples of sturdy manhood. In 1907, Mr.
Norris retired from farm life and
came, with his wife and three daugh-
ters, to Winnipeg. Where he carried
on ever since an insurance and real
estate business. Mr. Norris' was what
the Scottish folk call a `quiet' mrn,
a term indicative of a character rich
in the quelities which go to make
steadfast manhood, patience, endur-
ance, kindliness, and a conscience to-
ward the right," said Rev. C. W. Gor-
don, D.D., expressing regret at the
passing of Mr. Norris. "For more than
20 years he was an elder in St. Steph-
,en's Presbyterian church, giving prr-of
throughout the years of loyalty to his
church and of devotion to the dude
c,: his oil:ee. Mr. Norris was one of
those men, who, without noise and
fuss and seeking favor from no man,
does, day by day, the task appointed
him as his conscience bids him, carry-
ing toward his fellow man a kindly
heart and giving to those of his own
home circle such love and care' as a
husband and father finds it his joy to
live. By such lives are the virtues
of our religion exemplified and the
stabilities of our civilization preserv-
ed." Mr. Norris leaves a widow and
three daughters, Linda, the wife of
Rev. Walter Metcalfe, of Jupiter, Fla.,
Mrs. H. W. Currie, of Cromarty, Ont.,
and Barbara, a valued member of the
Winnipeg public school teaching staff.
The funeral service will be conducted
by Rev. C. W. Gordon, D.D., and'iR.ev.
G. A. Woodside, D.D., from Thomsen's
Broadway funeral parlors, to St. -Ste-
phen's -Broadway Church, Tharsday

enjoyed and a very pleasant time
spent in Social intercourse, in short a

Death of Miss Margaret Bell.—The
funeral of the late Miss Margaret
Bell, who died on Saturday afternoon
last at the home of herself and late
sister, Mrs. Robert Hunt, was held on
Tuesday afternoon last to Hensall
Union Cemetery, the service being
conducted at the late home by Rev.
James Mcllroy, of Carmel Presbyter-
ian. .Church, of which church the de-
ceased was an esteemed member. Miss
Bell was within only about a couple
of weeks of her 90th birthday and
was wonderfully smart for her age,
until during the past year her fine
constitution began to give away. She
had all her life time lived a most ac-
tive life, keeping house first for her
aged parents, until they passed away
many years ago, and coming to Hen-
sall after their death with her late
sister, Mrs::. Hunt, she lived here with
her for over 35 years and for many
years during Mrs. Hunt's illness,
waited lovingly upon her. Miss Bell's
father was the late Robert Bell, one
of the very pioneer residents of the
County of Huron, who emigrated from
Scotland and who, together with his
seven sons, took up nearly a thous-
and acres of fine farming land along
the London Road, and the Zurich
Road, and all proved wonderfully
good and successful farmers, having
the finest farms in this section. The
eons names in point of age were Wil-
liam Robert, Paul, Daniel, James,
John and Andrew and all 'of whom
lived to very old ages, together with
their sisters, the late Mrs, McLean,
Mrs. Robert McArthur, Mrs. Robert
Hunt, Mrs. S. Blair and the subject
of this ,sketch, the late Miss Marg-
aret Bell, she being the last of a fam-
ily of 13, and twelve of whom we
have just mentioned, lived to ripe old
ages, one only dying in earlier life.
The funeral was quite largely attend- I
ed on Tuesday afternoon last, not-
withstanding the very unfavorable;
state of the weather, many coming
'rem quite a long distance to pay!
their last tribute of respect to one so
well and favorably known and whose;
life was so well known to the com-
munity as her father, in his life -time,
carried on fele many years what was
known as the Kippen FIouring Mills,
and•to which all the countryside came
in the early years of this district, so
that the home of the deceased, at
that time, was a most public one. Miss
Bell, the deceased, was a wonderfully
capable housekeeper and good man-
ager, and very fond of company and
together with her late sister, Mrs.
Hunt, were visited constantly by rela-
tives and friends from far and near
as their hospitality was well known.
Miss Bell suffered a couple of strokes
that hastened her death, the first
some seven or more months ago and
the second, and last, about a month
ago, and during 'which time she was
most lovingly waited upon by her
niece, Mrs. Robert Elgie, of the Town-
ship of Tuckersmith, who together
with her husband had been great
`riends and helpers to the late Mrs.
Hunt and her sister, Miss Bell. Mr.
and Mrs. Alfred Taylor, their rela-
tives, were also most untiring in their
kindness and attention, being very
near neighbors. The pallbearers were
six nephews and as we have already
intimated, the remains, were interred
in the Hensall Union Cemetery and
although laid away to a well earned
rest, the deceased will be long re-
membered and greatly missed by a
very large number of relatives and
friends.
