DEMONSTRATION IN AIR A great aeroplane demonstration was held at Kitchener on Victoria Day, when six planes took part, three belonging to the Gillies Air Service, of which Mr. F. P. Gillies is head and Mr, Frank Murdoch a member. The Kitchener Daily Re- cord had the following reference• to the perfermance of Mr. Murdoch, son of Mr. and Mks. G. F. Murdoch of Clinton: "Besides passenger flights by the six planes which accommodated those who wished to disport thein - selves in the upper regions, the first thrill of the afternoon was provided by instructor Frank Murdoch of Gillies Air Service, Limited, Mir.. Murdoch had the crowd gasping all the time he performed his daredevil stunts. He showed his adeptness at the controls by executing six succes- sive loops, a series of vertical banks, a spin during which the plane dropped almost 1,500 feet, three or four stall turns at a very low alti- tude and then landed dexterously by side slipping into port. The exhibi- tion was given great acclaim," LITTLE LOCALS The towncouncii meets on Monday evening.

H.ORTICULTURAL MEETING Those who attended the horticul- tural meeting on Thursday evening last were well repaid for the effort. Prof. John R. Claris of bhe Ontario Department of Agriculture gave a very interesting lecture on `,Dome Beautification," which was illustrat- ed in natural colors by lantern slides. He described aid illustrated the re- sults that can be obtained by plant- ing shrubs and flowers to cover up what otherwise are unsightly .ob- jects, such as foundation walls, old fences, old buildings, lamp posts, scrimps or any other unsightly ob- ject. Rockeries also can be con- structed and: flowers grown in the crevices making a «bank of beauty." His colored photos of homes and surroundings before and after plant- ing were a revelation of what won- derful results can be obtained by a, little outlay in shrubs and flowers. Dr. Barnes, who was representing a eet ipany specializing in fertilizers gave an interesting paper on the subjent of plant foods. The attendance was- smeller than night have been expected, though an appreciative number were there. One cannot but wonder why., people will pass up opportunities such as this for gaining first hand informa- tion on, • suoh an important subject, Beautiful homes i make a beautiful community. So many tourists pass along our streets and highways dur- ing the summer and autumn and take note of the beaitie s' or •lackOf beauty that it; behooves citizens to make the community as attractive as possible.

STREET IMPROVEMENT Considerable work has . been put on the streets during the past couple of weeks., under the supervision of Chief Stong, who finds that it is very difficult to do satisfactory work when a load of gravel is put on here and there, just as it is need- ed the worst. What the thorough- going inspector would like to see done is every street graded up, gravelled and left complete as he goes along. But, unfortunately, the allotment for streets will not allaw of the large expenditure this would entail, so he' has to see the worse Places mended and let it go at that. However, many of the streets have been much improved, graded and smoothed off, with gravel fil- ling the low places,- 1 Much earth has been removed from the sides of the pavement, a convenient dumping place having been secured, making the job easier of accomplishntenet, The removal has made a great im- provement in the appearance of the street.
