The Wingham Advance Times, 1925-09-24, Page 5ion to stop over in St. Thomas for a
few hours. While there I heard two
Americans amusing -themselves by ad
versely criticizing all they had seen
since crossing the border. One of
them said however:—"Well Windsor
is a nice place, to live," but hastened
to add by way of explanation: `Be-
cause it's so near Detroit." That id-
ea however, has been reversed, and it
seems to be the prevailing opinion ev-
en in Chicago that Detroit is a nice
place to live in because it's so near
Windsor.
It is, gratifying to note that the Do-
minion Government has concluded a
trade arrangement with the British
West Indies, which looks like good
business, Canada having no tropical
or semi -tropical territory of her own.
If in addition the import duties were
raised on everythng which could be
produced in Canada, there would not
be so many Canadians going to the U.
S. A few months ago the govern-
ment at Washington raised the duty
on Canadian wheat and cattle to aid
the American farmer. By way of re-
prisal (?) the government at Ottawa
owered the `duty on American ma-
chinery to aid the American manufac-
urer.
Let us hope whichever party wins
he coming election, will adopt ,a poli -
y gvhich will not leave the country
at the mercy of foreign competition as
it practically is at present.
Respectfully Yours,
M. H Harrison,

Dear Sir:
I write to notify you of change of
address, having moved again, In this
connection I might say that moving
is one of the many popular pastimes
in this metropolis. Another one equal-
ly popular, is to hire a taxi, give the
driver an address some distance out
and when you get to a suitable place,
push a gun in his face and. order him
to shell out his nights receipts, thus
combining pleasure and profit, No
and again one can strike larger gam
by holding up the cashier of a theatr
at "the end of a perfect day," and get
ing a few thousands' to take care
old age. Of course there are othe
lines of business included in the pro
gramme, such as Jewelers, Restau
ants, etc., but the principles involve
are practically the same. In thi
county since the first of the year 27
have been shot to death, 200 have die
from drinking moonshine and 547

Incidents of an Automobile
From Toronto to Wingham
As a relaxation and change after the
strenuous work connected with tEre
Toronto Industrial Exhibition which
this year exceeded all former records
both in magnitude and attentance etc.
We decided on a visit to the old home
town and of course as the popular
and most enjoyable way of travelling
now, is by automobile, we chose a
large and high powered car and made
the start from our Lake Shore Boule-
vard and Exhibition Park residence,
about noon, which was as soon as de-
sirable after the wild lightning and
thunder storm of the night had clear-
ed the air and the' roads at the .same
time. The day then turning, bright
and warm. Going out the boulevard
and scenic Hunber river drive, we
went by the new Dundas Highway—
Via Waterdown, Guelph, Elora, Har-
riston etc. to Wingham.
A few miles south of Guelph and
near Morriston, we' witnessed one of
the numerous automobile accidents
that are constantly occurring and
which appear to be unavoidable no
matter what precautions may be ta-
ken. A large 3 ton covered truck
heavily laden with five tiers of fruit
and -vegetables headed towards Guel-
ph, plunged into a ten foot ditch at
the side of the road just off the con-
crete, where 'the road was widened by
mud and clay, which became softened
by the previous nights heavy rain.
The truck and its contents made a sad
mix up and considerable loss to the
owners who narrowly escaped with
minor injuries when the heavy truck
went over Relief trucks were sent
for and they would be busy all day ga-
thering up the remains of the "dam-
aged goods," from the mud and wa-
ter in the ditch which was almost fill -
cd with ripe tomatoes etc. in broken
baskets. e It was planned afterwards
to build a road of stone and planks
to pull the lightened truck out. In-
cidentally tomatoes are a very large
crop and are selling as low as 15c and
-2c' per large basket in Gitelph. Ap-
ples, pears and. plums also are an un-
usually prolific crop all around the
Toronto and Guelph fruit districts
and in many placesthe limbs of the
trees had to be supported and fre-
quently large branches and sections of
the trees liad broken down with the
weight of the 'fruit. I
As it may be of interest to others
tivho desire to make the trip between
Toronto and Wingham by automobile,
we are able to report that the roads
are now in excellent condition, and
the only detour is at the town of
Harriston, where a new concrete road-
way is being put in on the main
street, The detour though not very
good, is short. The only other bad
piece of road is approaching Bluevale
from Wroxeter, where in the swamp
the roadway has always been more or

Concluding this sketch at present
we may say that after making a brief
stop for refreshments at Guelph and
again at a famous old stone farm resi-
dence, of friends named "Day", 3
miles south of Elora, where we got
our supply of spring water from a
well drilled through the rock some 200
feet in depth, our fine car rolled into
Wingham on record time between 4

or engine trouble of any kind whatev-
