, ®J)je VOL. 56; NO. 43 WEDXESDAY, MARCH 31, 1937 \V. H. THURSTON & SON, Proprietora ^ f I i' h i ^ ^ i Ontario Speed Limit Raises On May 24th Ontario's new motoring speed limit â€" fifty miles "per hour on the open highway and thirty miles per hour in all incorporated municipalities or "built up areas" â€" does not come into effect until May 24, Attorney-Gen- eral Roebuck announced over the week end. The bill was given Royal assent in the Legislatui-e on Thursday, March 25. Ordinarily, it would have been operative forthwith, but under legis- lation introduced earlier in the session by the Government its operation is indirectly held up for sixty days. Municipalities will just have to put up with the thirty-mile limit prescrbed for them, J. P. Bickell, re- gistrar of motor vehicles, stated Sat- urday. They have no power them- selves to reduce it, he added. Ever since the legislation was pass- ed in the House there has been con- siderable confusion regarding its date of effectiveness. Highways Depart- ment officials were certain its oper- ation commenced at once. Not until the Attorney-General had his say was the air clear. Alb.

It is a joy to the eye and one's intelligence to see and walk through the valley road south, at Mr. W. Weber's. It is as good as a life insurance for the future of his family. Few countries realize their loss, till their forests are gone and in spite of reforestation two generations almost lapse before lost acreage can be re- gained. The pioneers and farmers of this Valley, cut acre upon acre of beautiful trees, most of them can count on their fingers the number of trees they have replaced. In England, one of the most pleas- ing features of the program for cel- ebrating the coronation of King Geo. and Queen Elizabeth, is a plan for beautifying the countryside and vill- ages as stated by the coronation plant, ing committee. It is hopeful that thousands of trees will be planted to enhance the scenic effect of landscape. The trees that are favoured are, oak. Beech, Ash, Lime, Mountain Ash, peaches, plums, birch and white woods. JThe planting of fruit trees along the highways will he encouraged. It is also urged that cottages without gardens should have window boxes; waste or vacant lots should have trees flowers and grass; disused church yards be converted into gardens and ;em€teries beautified. Beautiful Britain is attractive to tourists as it exists to day, but it promises to take an additional glory because of the frowning of a new king. May 12th, is coronation day, cannot >ve beautify one spot in our community as a living memorial of our loyalty to King and Country. This will be a loyal memorial to our motto, "For Home and Country." Then plant a tree. On Friday, March 26, 1937, a quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized at H><J8 St. Clair Ave, West Toronto, by the Rev.

Fortunately we live in a world where the privileges of the best schooling which money can pro- vide are tree and open to all. Every boy who has passed the child stage and has begun to think for himself realizes that he, like every adult, has his "'job", his life work to attend to. For practically all Trail Rangers, his •'Main Job'' is attending school.

Reduced charges on rural telephones will save farmers $U)0.000. a .vear. Otjher important items where charges are cut are for installing and moving tel- ephones, for short haul, long distance calls, and for the hand type of tel- ephones which after May 1st will cost only 15c instead of 30c per month nioi^e than the desk telephone. The expectation is that the reduction will lead to a still more widespread use of the telephone, increasing its value to all users. her pastor. Rev.

BARGAIN FARES APRIL 10 to OWENSOUND 80c Return Return Limit--Up to April 12 Consult Agents _ -Vsk for Handbill CANADIAN PACIFIC The road from Shelburne to CoU- ingwood is to be taken over ag a provincial highway, according to Dr. W. D- Smith. M. L. A. in a brief inter- view with the Star at the week-end. The new highway will connect with number ten highway one mile east of Shelburne. and pass through Homing's Mills. Redickville. Maple Valley. Sing- hampton, Duntroon and Nottawa vill- ages. The official announcement will be made by the Department in a few days. The route from Singhampton to Duntroon has not been definitely decided on. There is considerable nressure from Grey County to have the highway go north two miles from Singhampton, and thence east to Dun- troon. but as the grade on this route is very steep, it would be much more >x:ieniive to build. The present county road from Singhampton east to the eighth line of Nottawasaga ha,-> a very easy grade, and also has the advantage of some of the finest scen- ery in Ontario, skirting the "Devil's Glen", and passing through a fine farming section, and within half a mile of the village of Glen Huron. While the member assured the Star this highway would be designate<l forthwith, he did not think there would be any paving done this year. There would be some curves to straighten out and culverts to put in. and the grades brought up to the Provincial standard. Mrs. .\lb.
