"'I ihall not be justly dealt with if

of his life." The forgoingis the op-
ening sentence of a very interesting
article in a recent issue 'of Black -

titled "Three' 1VIen in Old Canada

Englishinais who had cone' to Canada

Galt seemed to have but little re -
spool, for his literary abilities and
wished to do something else -with his
lite. Be spent tree 'years in, Can-
ada but -in that -short time ,he did ,.t

called;getting, scant credit for, whait-
.ever he did do. Galt was later named
in honour of him. One of his sons
years later carne to Canada x113 was
for yeaaa a resident of Goderich, rear-
ing his family there.
Galt struck- the first blow,in the
first tree `-felled where Guelph iiov
stands, "Thr tree -fell with a crash of
accumulating thunder, he wrote;
"as if ancient nature were alarmed at
the entrance of social, tenon into hes•
innocent solitudes with his so3'rows,
his follies and his crimes
,'.Clic town grew and on. -the King's
birthday Galt, dined .the town in the
'half built ,market-place;'when a whole
ox was roasted and pails of „whiskey
were passed around and Galt and
athero made 'speeches about the gr eat-
ness of the Company and the bright
future of Guelph. '
Goderich had in the meantime •neon
founded, also,, `at the, mouth of the
Iced .:Rit er ,''` which was renamed the
"Maitland," in honour 'of' the Goveil-.
nor. , It curious to h'ecall:thaathe
plans for the towns ,became mixed up
in solve way and theplan intended for
Guelph was applied to Goder ich. This
hnay--have.'beon a happy accident for.
Illluron's County `town, as otherwise it
won]) hardly have,' had that pleasant
"square" in its centre.
To a friend in Scotland about this
time Galt wrote: "If you tell ane of

R. CrTY-DWELLER, where did you
spend your boyhood days? Was/yours
the privilege of wandering throuh the
f eldsF• and,,;woodland where every :tree and
bush had been -painted by the divine artist?
Today you say 'tis but the hectic flame of
a . dying year. Then it contained all the
inystery of an enchanted. palace.
Ontario's highways lead you to the land of
yesteryear --over white roads flecked- with •
fallen leaves, patterned here and there by
checkered shadows of trees. Field and hill-
side are gay with fiery sumach: Maple

are entitled to enjoy them, for they are yours. Keep
in mind, however, that upon you will come the.
expense of maintaining them in proper condition.
Speeding eats'away road surfaces. It "milks" your
pocket -book for both motor and road upkeep.
Moderate driving is far more economical and
pleasurable.
By so doing you will greatly assist the traffic

have instructions to enforce the law rigorously.
