Most of the newspap- ers campaigning for such walks feel strongly upon the matter, for there are young children walking along the roads every year to and from school; also children are sent on errands frequently to neighboring farms, while adults of different ages have occasion quite often to walk along the highways. The only safe part of the highways for pedestrians, whether young or old, is along that por- tion of right-of-way lying between the ditches and the fences, and it is here that there should be Walks. Cost would not be heavy but convenience would be great. These paths could be used also by persons making use of bicycles, who in these latter days are almost in as much danger as pedestrians when riding the highways.

A West Luther resident bought a farm fr $1,200, and the assessor and court of revision placed the assess- ment at $2,000. In giving judgment in favor of the plain- ti, the bench ruled that the selling price established the real value and that the court of revision overstepped itself when it boosted the assessment. Valuation of a property apparently is based on what it is intended for. For fire insurance purposes the valuation is based on the amount it will cost to replace it with a similar `building; the assessment is computed from the actual amount of money it will bring in the market. U SHOULDN T OVERLOOK REFORESTATION Farmer's Advocate--Anyone owning waste areas should consider the possibilities of reforestation. Timbered land is more valuable than that devoted to mixed farming. Remarkable absence of motor accidents over Toronto s civic holiday was deserving of more , publicity than accorded by Toronto newspapers. `It is these same newspapers which, when the V week-end death toll is heavy, give prominence to it in flare head-lines.

This very thing happened to Arthur Kaake at a King City garden party last week. On his way to the garden party he was paid $435 by the treasurer of the Township of King. After the garden party he missed the money and was informed by Frank O'Neil that a. man had been seen picking something up during the party. Kaake ofered $100 reward but when the man with the money was located he refused to ac- cept it. [ ONCE UPON A TIME at Sturgeon . Falls, located on the north shore . of Lake Nipissing in Northern Ont- : ario, a story was told that it was nec- essary in the early days to knock the ` ends out of 'C.P.R. box cars to accom- modate the big sturgeon caught at that point. Once again Sturgeon Falls is in the limelight for doing things in a big way. It has produced two sis- ters, one of whom weighs 450 pounds and the other 375. Their name is Restoule and they have an infant brother Whose daily increasing weight has baffled local physicians at Stur- geon Falls. The two older girls have been sent to Toronto for observation and treatment. The arrival of Miss Gertrude, the 16-year-old 450-pound girl is thus described: An electric truck was backed up to the door of her car and Miss Restoule was assisted down the steps, where she sat on a box. The truck was then moved to a. waiting ambulance and she walked a- cross planks into the vehicle. The case, 'as far as can be learned is without parallel. Both Miss Restou1e s parents are normal in weight and height. Miss Restoule was brought to the city by the Indian Reserve Agent of Sudbury, according to hospital authorities. Miss Restoule, until re- cently, has been able to move about freely. Now,. however, her increasing obesity has rendered her. almost help- less. `She cannot ascend any steps, and her condition is regarded as ser- . ious, unless treatment can reduce her ` weight." .n..n... 1 I -7 _ .---- - "\%ldlhl To the business man who thinks the public does not need to be constantly reminded of who he is and what he has to sell, the often` told story of Pyle s Pearline will bear repeating.

Not very much, but this fact is not keeping the khaki-clad boys on the motorcycles from having a. lot of fun at the expense of a fellow-officer, a new recruit. The city boy called on a farmer the other day to tell him his cows were running at large on the king s highway. The farmer doubted it and inquired as to the age of the -cattle. O, middle-aged, replied the traffic officer, with all the assurance of taking no chance on displaying his ignorance. .n..n..n. IT IS NOT ONLY the churches, but also the softball teams and various athletic organizations which are feel- ing the effects of the big nickel craze,--coins which are today being thrown on the collection plate with a ourish which belongs to nothing less than a quarter. In two softball games played in Barrie in the last ten days, each witnessed by over 500 peo- ple, big nickels predominated, but when counted the total was less than $20.00. This after the washers and buttons had been sorted out. There were times in the good old days of basebal1-the real he-man s game- in Barrie, when $100 was considered a small gate, but this was before the day of the big nickel. --on-a auunananuyaoaa-I, .
