Bowling on
The Green
(By Bill Hart) •
Bowline rules change very little
from year to year. There have been
few changes in the 'last ten years.
Ore rale which has been altered, and
which the • general run of bowlers
have. net taken notice u'',' is the or:e�
concerning, .carrying a bowl up the
green. What w.e mean is that a per-
son might forget himself and .go tee
to take a Iook at•the situation before
delivering bis bowl. Previous to this
year, if a bowler carried his bowl
With him, it was ,considered "dead"
and thua out of play. The law now
reads: "A bowl is not rendered 'dead'
'by a player carrying it to the jack
End." Henceforth, a bowler may car-
ry his bowl with him if he so choos-
es when he wisbes+ to walk down the
green. •. This is a very .startling
change in the lawn bowling lute%,'

Ashfield. Makes Last Payment
O. Nonexistant' Railroad,
For almost forty years ratepayers
of the Western Division of Ashfield
have been paying for a railway that
neVer was. built -The West Shore
Electric Railway. When they pay
their 1947 tax bill this year, they can
write 'finis' to this debenture levy
that over the two score years has
meant approximately $1,400 on each
100 -acre farfn.
•
It was back in 1908 that a portion
cf A•safiel.d .Township, •roughly refer-
red to as the'Western Division, voted
in fav'o'r 'of the West Shore project,
which was to run from Goderich to
Kincardine, and was heralded, 'with
'jubilation by repay fermers in that
section, who h,ar, long distance hauls
to market. g• i
The project was favored' In Polling
Divisions 4, 5, 6' ands 7, and the rate-
payers et these divisions have since
been saddled -with the financial bur-
den.
By 1912,'the company was defunct
and Ashfield -`had a $125,000 liability
on its hands. Payments commenced
thet year to meet interest charges
only, and until 1938, ratepayers In the
four polls had a five -milt levy to meet
this .interest charge.
From the sale of the township's'
share or material that was to build
the line, a sinking fund' was estab-
lished; With the fund wisely invest
ed, plus the sale of the right-of-way
in recent years to the Highways De-
partment, the township had accrued
'a fund of $75,000 by 1938, and met
their obligations by issuing a $50,000
ten-year debenture at 34 per cent.
Since then the debenture levy was
four mills to raise an annual sum of
between $5,800 and $6,000.
The four mills on the 1947 tax bill
le the last collection on the $50.000
debenture which will be retired when
it falls due on August 15, 1948.
This West Shore mpiilstone has
meant from $22 to $24 annually on
the average 100 -,tore farm in these
four sub -divisions.
Strike 1947 Rate
Ashfleld• counell at its iastemeeting
struck the following tax rate for
1947; County rate, 7,9 mine; Town-
ship, 4 mills; General School, 3.5

Not Tomatoes
, Several reports of tomato -bearing
potatoes have been received at The
Expositor this week.
On Monday Foster Bennett, North
Main. Street, brought in a potato stalk,
near .the top of which wit gi°owing
what looked like a small green tom-
ato. When Mr, Bennett first Spotted
this stall:, while walking in his gar-
den, he said he thought he was see-
ing things, but on Closer inspection,
concluded it really was a green toma-
to.
On Wednesday MasaOscar Tebbutt
brought in a 36 -inch "potato stalk on
the bottom of which were potatoes,
where they shoula be, and on the top
was a cluster of what looked like
fair -sued green totuatoes,.1there they
are not supposed to grow. And oth-
ers have reported similar supposedly i
freak of nature, •
But tbese seeming tomatoes ,nro
not tomatoes at all, nor even mem- T
bers '61 that family. They are seed r
pods of potatoes, which in some years
for some unknown reason, fortis high
up on the stalks,
They are, tfowever, so similar in
,appearance to tomatoes that nolo en-
thusiastic gardener's sobriety would
even be questioned for making the
mistake.
