There are people who sit on
seats in the -park and whittle them
or cut Sticks, making a nasty litter
around. A little thought will show
that this is an amusement wlticlt
should be carried on at home.
Although many gardens are
pretty well seeded there has not
been much growth so far, the cold
winds being against it. " Many of
our farmers .are through with the
spring work with the exception
of roots and the planting of corn.
Sunday last being a fine day,
Easter hats and costumes were
freely worn and those seen showed
clearly that the fashions were not
in the line of limited trimmings
or cheap goods. Of course, most
of the creations were worn at
the morning services and church
goers had the first opportunity of
seeing the artistic work of our
milliners and dressmakers.

Eight junior farm organizations
under the auspices' of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture would
be in operation in Huron County,
it was expected. Last year five
such organizations were in oper-
ation. A grain club had been or
ganized at Clinton and girls' gar-
den and canning club was organ-
ized at Brussels.
In an effort to put a stop to the
epidemic of robberies, which had
reached an unprecedented high in
Huron County, authorities endeav-
oured to enlist the co-operation of
storekeepers in the district. Store-
keepers in every town, village and
country corner store were asked
in a letter sent out by Crown At-
torney D. E. Holmes, to leave lights
burning both inside and at the
rear of their shops.

SIGNS BEHIND TIMES
Signs at highway entrances to
Goderich are apparently behind
the times. At the Town Council
meeting last Friday night, it was
pointed out that .the signs showed
the population of the town to be
lower than the actual figure. Town
Clerk. S. H. Blake pointed out that
according to figures as of last
September. the town's population
was 5252. Council left it with
Reeve John 11. Graham and mem-
bers of the' Public Works commit-
tee to have the latest population
figures painted on the signs.
