Mrs. Thomas Greenwood left. us in an egg this \wok, laid by 3 Ply- mouth Rock hm, measuring 6%x7'fé inches and wvighing 4 ounces. This is a hmwiei- ng than the one left in a couple of weeks ago by Captain J. F. Wrigth. which was 655x894 inches and weighqd 3% ounces. This latter egg was laid by 8 Rhode Is~1 land Red hen. Cross-Word puzzles are said to be educative. Sure! The man whose wife is an addict must learn to cookâ€"or go hungry. Famous last liesâ€"of single bless- edness. “I do.” Telling lies is not a failing with some people. Rather, it is one of their outstanding successes. Some Durham merchants might well follow the lead of one in a neighboring town who posted the sign on his counter: “The party who has been helping himself to crackers from the open box will find toothpicks on the counter.” Foreign Ambassadors to Turkey must in future reside in Angora, according to a recent ruling of the Turkish Government. A n g o r a goats as it were. According to scientists, Niagara Falls is 38,000 years old. Will some of our oldest residents kindly verify this? An Edinburgh, Scotland, woman who died recently, at the age of 90 years, was an inmate of a men. tal hospital for over 65 years. Though originally incarcerated for melancholia. she is said to have been perfectly happy and content- ed. Evidently she used the wo~ man's privilege and “changed her mind.” Bogus $100 Imperial Bank notes :re in virculation, but don’t worry us. Any $100 note looks suspicious so the editor of this paper. Canada exported to Australia during the last fiscal year corsets to the value of $160,000, thus con- tributing her quota in binding the Empire closer together. There are some in town, though very few, who try to belittle the oiling system for laying dust, point- ing to Durham’s streets last year as an example. Last Spring was a backward one. The oil was put on during a spell of very cool wea- ther and, we are told, was not heated enough in the tank before being applied. This in itself would. spell disaster for this system of dust laying, but on top of this was another important one. The Coun- cil contracted for oil sufficient for Garafraxa Street from the foot of the hill to the Ford Garage. Those in charge of the oiling spread it over at least 20 per cent more road than it was intended for. Is it any wonder the oil system was not sat- isfactory last summerâ€"to some. Even at that, we think the major- ity are agreed that it is about the ‘nest thing: we have ever tried, and there are. very few along the front street who are not favorable to the adoption of the system this sumâ€" 1 mer. Even though a pavement 1 were being built, something would have to be done about the dust nui~ sauce in the meantime. In the meantime, the fact that a paving program may be adopted this year is no excuse for forget- ting that the dust nuisance is up- on us right now. The oil for the streets should have been contract- ed for long ago. not giving concessions without de- manding others. I‘here is no doubt that paving is the proper program in the con- struction of permanent roads, but we see little chance of any being done in Durham this year. Pav- ing is an expenswe business, and while paving advocates in town say that the Government will pay 100 per cent of the cost of the 20- foot strip on Lambton Street, the citizens of the town will want to know what they have to pay for the balance. The Government is AROTIBR EGG RECORD OIL OR PAVEMENT? There is, as is usually the case at this time of the year, some talk in town about paving Garafraxa and Lambton Streets. Though no definite program has been spoken of, we take it that the intention would be to pave both County and Provincial connecting links theiri entire length. What is worth do- inc: at all is worth doing well. NOTES AND COMMENTS Wham" is afraid of submit- "”9 any question, civil or religious, to the test of free discussion, is more in love with his own opinion than with the truth. -â€"WA TSON.
