Oshawa, July 27.-- "How fas is an icre, not how long is an acre?" asked 3. F. Cannon, Oshawa Pubic Schaal inspector, guest speaker at the Rotary Club luncheon yesterday, when he spoke on his experiences and impres-" 3 of the country that lies between thie Trent and Ottawa rivers." According to mathematical calcula-ons an acre consisted of 4,840 square yards, the speaker stated, but often when you inquired of distances in that bush country, you were told such and such a place was so many acres down the road. Inquiries revealed that the length of an acre in that country was 70 yards by common consent. Other mrements of distance were "one good look, or two good looks," meaning the length from the top of one "1 to another. 'One good Indian walk" was equivalent to about four miles it being reckoned that an Indian could cover i ground than a white man, the speaker stated. For deer, trout and the lure of the woods the speaker stated hie knew of no better country, huj- advised his listeners that the best time of all in the bush was from August until the end of the autumn. He visioned a great future for that part of the country when tourists fully realized its potentialities. To the doctors and Canadian Red Cross nurses and staff serving the inhabit-its the speaker paid tribute. Inspector Cannon was thanked on behalf of the members of the club by Hugh Hall, President. Guests at the luncheon were Charles J. Thompson, H. G. Himniin jr., and Morris Thomas, all of Kenmore. NY.: R. L. Anderson, Toronto, and E. C. Sftckwell, Peterboro.
