THAT , T PARKS AN EYESORE The Parks committee, of the town council should take over and look after the "park" belonging to the town in Mary street. It is opposite the bowling green, where visitors from out of town are often enter- tained at tournaments and the fire- men have again set up their dancing floor and plan to hold their summer dances there. Tho grass should be kept cut and cleared away so that the place may melte the best appearance possible, It has often been anything but a credit to the town and at preeent is stream with loose hay. As long as public property is' left in an untidy condition it can hardly be expected that all private citi'.ens take pains to keep their places trim and pre- sentable. While that property re- mains in the possession of the town it should be kept in order.

NOT MANY FAIRS FOR 1932 School Fairs are not to be so common this fall as for several years past, the strongest contributing cause no doubt being the decision of the Government as an economy measure, not to distribute seed for the use of pupils the past spring.

Colborne: Sept. 27th. Howiek: Sept, 28th. Belgrave: Sept. 29th. Blyth: Oct. 1st, Should the Government decide to resume the supply of seed another year, no doubt the fairs will flour- ish again, as this distribution of seed X011115 a connecting link all summer between the pupils' gardens and the air ' f in the Autumn.
