Tuesday and Wednesday of this week the big mew bus was noticed around town, trial trips being made to various parts of the town to study out routes, schedules, etc. It is hoped to givera 20â€"minute bus service to all parts of the town. At first the plan didâ€" not ‘appear practical, and it "may ‘be nec sary to have the new service every 25 minutes. The date of the installation of the new bus service is not known as yet, ‘but it is expected that regular trips will be started early next week. Child‘s Health Conference at Schumacher School The bus noted around t>wn this week is the first of three of these handsome and comfortable buses to be used to provide the whole town with a regular icity style of bus service. Buses are the latest form of modern transportaâ€" tion of passengers, from one part ‘of the town to another, superseding the street railway line. In most cities where electric cars have been used, the practice now is to replace the electric cars with buses. Dalton‘s plan apparâ€" ently is to provide a regular city bus service to all parts of the town, even: ibefore there is any street car service. | There has been much general interâ€" est in the past two or three days in the handsome new bus making trips around town. This new bus is of the best modern models. Of course, it is one of Dalton‘s. It looks as if it could be truly said that Dalton‘s is giving the "last word" in the matter of rapid transportâ€" ation and comfort in travel for Timâ€" mins just as Dalton‘s gave this town its first livery and taxi and bus service.

He regretted the fact that the real meaning of Remembrance Day was not more generally understood and he urged all teachers and cthers to impress on the rising generation the full import of the event of Nov. 11th. The other resolution approved of the expressed policy of the government that the main trunk highways be paved and urged that the government undertake new work so as to ensure hard surfacâ€" ing of the main highways from Chalk River to Sault Ste.
