But Toranto's average humidity is not high enough for some valuable Dutch oil paintings in the Art Gallery there. Some of them might crack or peel if the air were not humidified. During the exhibition this week we understand 20 humidi- fying units will be throwing water into the air to bring the humidity to 40 per cent instead of the Toronto average of 25. Each unit throws five gallons of water into the air every 24 bours. This makes the air more like it is in Holland, so said one of the Art Gallery officiais. So-sinus sufferers had better stay here, or try Mexico. HAY IS HEALTHIER There was a sequel ta that horse story. You remember a couple of weeks ago the horse Joe Sheehan drives on the Crystal Dairy wagon took a fancy to the green paint on Ted Bagnell's car. At least he start- ed by eating the snow off the car and kept right on when I-ie got down ta the paint. Weil, the horse got sick. Who wouldn't? Some thought It might be the calcium chioride thrown up from the road anto the snow, and maybe it was. But we maintain paint is not the bealthiest food either. Anyway, the horse was given a couple of "shats" of something and was soan right up on the bit again. Whether he profited by Stafford Bros.

Georgina is the parisb which includes the beautiful stone church af St. George's, built by hem family in memory ai Susan Sibbald.You may e- member us telling you ai aur visit ta the wonderful oId Sib- bald bouse near Suttan, uow a museum under the York His- toricel Society, also ai visiting the church bujît on Sibbald land, in whose sunny, quiet cemetery an the shore ai Lake Simcoe, Stephen Leecock is bur- ied. Rev. J. E. Speers, who bas been assistant curate at St. Cle- ment's Anglican Church, Nortn Toronto, is the new.nectar ai this histaric church. The orig- mnai cburch stood immediately ta the north ai the present stone building and was dedicated and named on June 26th, 1839. Mrs. Sibbald was a leading spirit in, reising funds for its erection and secuning a resident clergyman. Much official ned tape bad ta be gone tbrough befome the e- sidents ai Georgina had their chumch and nectar. John Mills Jackson, for whom Jackson's Point is named, wvas a leader in the campaigu for a chumch, and Mns. Sibbeld was a stauuch ally, leaving no stone untumu- ed or fiend acmoss the ocean un&olicited fan funds fan the poject. The stone chumch, s0 beauti- iully designed and situated, wes built in 1877 by bier sons in ber memory. She died lu 1866 at the age ai 83. She had ire- quently expressed tbe wish that a more substantiel church could be built than. the old wooden one for which she was s0 much responsible. There could be no finer tri- bute ta ber memamy than the stane chumch, and its situation, sa near where the old one staod, does samething ion the spirit ai ail who visit thene. Tbe aid graves including those ai ail the Sibbaids who did not die in the Services abroad, drowsed peaceiuily in the sunny quiet ai a Sunday afternoan on the day ai aur visit. The churchyand runs down ta the blue waters ai Lake Simcae, and the waves broke an the sand with a muffled boom, even as tbey did no doubt when Mrs. Sibbald and bier bouse- hold attended service thene.

How fortun- ate are those who bave their last resting place there, and how fortunate their families. For one feels that this ground is cansecrated and retains some- how the slowness and peace af another age. Here time daes not hurry, but passes gradually and naturally in the cycle oi the seasans, irom g reen sprlng ta brlght summer, from the scuddîng clauds af au- tumn ta the quiet snows af winter.

We hope it will always endure thus.

MM. lth, ion Counties Council Boosts Roads - Bridges Program Nearly $50,000 Over 1954 Construction and maintenance af roadsanad bridges in the Un- ited Counties ai Narthumber- land and Durham has been es- timated et $43;,000 or 3 2/3 mills af the assessment. ln bringing down their budget for 1955 the Counties Council pass- ed the by-iaw and asked for ap- praval irom the Ontario Board ta levy for thîs amount. $55.000.000 Assessment Last year's expenditure was $385,000 or 5 milîs ai the assess- ment, On the surface the pre- sent 3 2/3 mil rate is a reduc- tian but the present rate is es- timated on the re-assessment af the counties under the equaliza- tion scheme. This bas upped as- sessment by almost $?0 million ta an estimated $55 million as- sessment. Construction ai a bridge and a develapment roed necessiteted the need for the higber expen- diture iisted for 1955. Although the 3 2/3 mîlîs is set an' an estimated $55 million the actual assessment has ta be the basis fmom which the council will draw its funds. Thene are ta be "appmopriated from money, ralsed by levy. debenture and governrnent subsidy for total expenditure upon construction and maintenance of roads n4 its jurisdiction." Increased Expenditure Increased expenditure is pro. dicted foi' the future. The Hon. W. A. Goodfellow hinted at 1greater traf f l on certain court. ty roads. He poînted out that the pattern of travel would j probably change when the by. j pass ýs completed. Among the items approved' construction of abuttments and repairs ta a bridge on the coun. - ty road, known as Cavan Street, in the town of Port Hope. From Montreal to Vancouver the distance is about 2,900 miles, a train tnp of 87 hours. TI1C KETS8 TO EVERYWIIERE Air. Rail or Steamship Consult . J UR &-L O V ELL 3owmanville 15 King St. W.
