61st Year No. 24 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 16th, 1927 $2 a year in advance: $2.50 to U.S.A. COLBORNE COUNCIL The regular monthly meeting of Colborne Council was held Monday evening, June 13th, 1927. Present: Sam D. Dudley, Reeve; W. J. Cowie, Ira Edwards, and Snetsinger, Councillors. Mr. Mallory has been out of town. Several unimportant communications were read and filed. Mr. George Hemmerick of Toronto, representing The Dow Chemical Co., addressed the Council, giving quotations for "Dowflake" Calcium Chloride ■ a dust layer for roads. He plained the manner of applying the chloride for best results. Just after a rain, while the road is wet, is the best time to put it on, as it then dissolves and soaks in. While if put on a heavy layer of dry dust the chloride draws moisture from the air forming drops of water on the surface which are mostly carried automobile tires before the has had a chance to soak in. Thus the greater portion of the chloride is lost. The price is $32.82 per ton in car lots, and $35.92--the difference being in freight charges--for leas than car lots. The cost comes to about 3 cents per square yard of surface cov- Ratepayers located on Division St. were out in full force pleading for abatement of the dust nuisance on their street, which is at times very* bad, it being one of the highways constantly travelled. After discussing the relative values of oil, chloride and water, it was decided to start the water waggon. The paving having considerably lessened the surface to be treated and there being a good supply o:f water, it is expected it will be the most economical. Mr. W. G. Grant made inquiries as to when the Council intended to fill in the ditch in front of his residence in accordance with the resolution passed by last year's Council instruct-ing the same to be done. It was de-1 cided to meet at the place on Tuesday morning. Chief Jamieson having expressed his desire to attend the annual meeting at Vancouver.

GouldrUg, salary, May To the Editor: During the past week, there has been much discussion as to whether or not Colborne will celebrate on July 1st. Local opinion seems to be vacillating. As a loyal Canadian citizen, I think it a shame to let Julylst, Canada's Diamond Jubilee, pass without some showing of our loyalty. As a small village we should be able to get together and in some way celebrate. All we need is someone or some society to push the idea along, and then all of us must help. I wonder why there isn't more who would delight in lauding their country at such a time. Where can we go to find a better country in all the earth. country she is very old. She has seen al Ithe changes since prehistoric days, but as a Dominion she "ias existed for sixty harvests, "She s a Dominion from sea to sea." Think what this country means to ou! Pause for one brief moment nd think! Her soil is consecrated with the blood of great men, and as long as this world lasts man surely cannot forget. From the beginning of time Canada is been presented to us as the most picturesque country known, and those " us who can see clearly perceive it. We have read about the Cabots, we have heard about Catrier, and old Quebec still carries landmarks of Samuel de Champlain. Her borders have been harassed by ars. Her forests could tell the tales of terrible deeds. Her ever murmuring waters have untold deeds sealed within their bosoms. But she is still Canada. Even the very Indians in all thei: ferociousness and war-paint present beautiful and majestic setting for IVES--ADAMS The marriage of Mabel Marguerite, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Adams, of Brighton, to Mr. Douglas Wilbur Ives, son of Mr. and Mrs. G; C. Ives, of Colborne, was solemnized in Trinity United Church, Brighton, on Saturday, June 11th, 1927, the Rev, J. S. I. Wilson officiating. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a pretty frock of rose georgette with hat to match, and carried pinU roses and lily of the valley. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple left on a motor trip to. Niagara Falls and other points west,1 On their return they will reside ln> Colborne. C. A.

Every' type of nation is found in Canada, and yet she is not thickly populated. Old Ontario and older Quebec hold the standards of population. Every trade and business is progressing in Canada and what we want is honest to goodness, loyal Canadians. The Fathers of Confederation worked hard. They all saw the possibilities of their country and gave the best part of their lives working together for our own good, and now when we are asked to remember and show our remembrance, let us as a village co-operate in the work. For over one hundred years no thundering guns have disturbed our border waters. Two great English speaking nations have seen the Colly of war and so we erect our peace arches and bridges. So let us thank God that we are British. Many, many great events have taken place in sixty years, but the greatest disaster that came to "Our Lady of the Snows," was the last Great War. So our celebrations will be mingled with sadness; sadness because so many of our best men have gone West. They have paid the supreme sacrifice that we might live. "May their name liveth forevermore." May I suggest that our Village Improvement Society outline a program-for July 1st, and I'm sure we shall all help. Do not let this day go without showing some mark of appreciation to those who fought and and made it ours. Le Canadien. An Investment--A Tip-Top Suit at . S4.00 pays big dividends.
