KE os = end Proposed Propose R Watch your' "label; it lia when oe to Peterboro In order i) get a fair idea of the several rotites from Brooklin to Peterbore, we have printed herewith g-& report of the addresses given at the Pontypool meet- "ing as given in the Oshawa Daily Times: rg Route No, 1 * Alderman James Dutton, of Peter- boro, representing Mayor McDonald ath the meeting, presented the first proposed route, which was designated $.Route No. 1". The alderman out- life the course 1; recommended that 8% new highway should take. Leaving the city of Peterboro on Provincial Highway No. 28 and branching out at a-point some 12 miles south of-the city to go east through Caven, Beth- any, Cartwright Township and to Port Perry to connect with Provincial ighway No. 12 at Manchester and herice down to Brooklin, --In supporting this proposed route, Mry Dutton claimed that this road plan Sf 'Had been supported for some years past, and that it would be accessible _ to a large number. of people. He also ~ claimed 'that it would reduce the dis= take to Toronto from Peterboro by some 18 miles. : -- CW. M Letcher, of Port Perry. in speaking to the "Route No. 1" pro- 'posal, stated that no doubt all: the municipalities would like to have the highway at their own front' door, but that a more general view of the situ- atign would have to be taken, A Toute musty be considered that will prove favorable - to the - greatest number. of people, he declared. 3 } "There is no "highway running east from north Yonge street north of No. '® he pointed" out, "I don't know 'whether they have had a lot of "pull" -in" the past, but western Ontario has - several roads Hine west from that Ns. 11 highway." "All the traffic. frond Northern On- - tario must come south to either No. ~~2or No. 7 at the present time, he said, ~~. and some arrangement must be. made nde that traffic in a way to al- © lowraccess to western Ontario at a point further north. Probably a road frgm Lindsay to No. 11 will prove to Lat "bagthe solution, it was suggested, or the problem may be solved by a road built even further north. "At the present time, however, Mr. : her pointed out; a road © to Port * Perry would link up with A project through Newmarket and 'Uxbridge. The railways have seen fit to discon- tinue their service on the Port Perry, and Burketon-Lindsay line, so there must be highways to provide access to this district." The. districts affected were sorry to lose the railway service, he admitted, and they are without a hagdsurface road to provide a connect- ing link with other municipalities in the "bad road" weather. The two main points to consider in 'the planning of a route for the pro- a 2 highway, it was contended, were service and revenue, There would be considerable revenue to be derived ; n the tourists using this route in summer season and the gasoline tax would also contribute, it was maintained. The population along the proposed "No. 1 route" would run' about two to one to any other route that may be proposed, and at thé same time it could be considered the short- est and cheapest way. ! r. Letcher urged that porsonal : be forgotten. in- considering the proposed route. He stated that a did not doubt but that a road will er be built from Lindsay to road '11 and western Ontario. Route No. 2 ~ Reeve Lyman Gifford, East Whitby, ented the proposed "Route No. 2" lined the purpose. of building ighway. He pointed out that a flew road was needed due to the ig ht traffic on the No. 2 high- hat the minister had asked "through highway to accom- modate some of this traffic. The stretch on Highways Nos. 7 and 11 between Manchester and Brooklin is coffgested badly at the present time, he said, and some action should ,be ta to relieve the pressure at this Mer? id No. oY, 2 -Pontypool to 'Peterboro, 'The "Route No. Z' as proposed by mr, Gittora would conunue east from prooksin through wast Whitby and Whitby 'townships until ic struck the suburvan road running north from the city of Ushawa; then north for two concessions to one ana a quarter mies north of Columbus, where it would proceed three miles east to: Enfield, tnen one and a halt miles north to Burketon, one-halt concession north and then east through Fontypool. 'that was as far as Mr, Gifford would outline the route, and he left the con- tinuance of the "Route No, 2" to Mr, vw. Wood of Millbrook, 'the highway, following "Route 2" coula be easily and cheaply construct- ed, ur. Gifford maintained, and there would be no need for bridges to be built in.a large section of the road. " W. wood, of Mitlbrook, upon taking the continuation of "Route 2" from suggested that the road. follow. on east from Pontypool through Millbrook and con- 'nect with Highway No, 28° and then north to Peterboro, He expressed surprise at the atti- tude. of Peterboro representative in giving the impression -that Peterboro had been the first to approach the government- on the 'highway question, and pointed out that work along this line had been carried on by Millbrook interests for some lengthy period. He pointed out one factor very much in favor of the "selection of "Route 2" in fact there would be oply one bridge between Pontypool and Peterboro. --Route No. 3 _ "Route No. 3" as proposed by R. R Waddell, of :Orono, would make the highway follow a track straight east from Brooklin, running about a mile and a quarter south of Columbys and Ennislikken, through Tyrone and Leskard and joining on County Road 70 -from Newcastle to Lindsay, would follow this road 10 miles north through Pontypool to the eighth line of Manvers Township and then turn east along the eighth lines of Man- vers and Cavan Townships to join Provincial Highway No, 28 at a point | - just north of Fraserville and then north to Peterboro, A road following these lines would 'serve to materially relieve the con- gestion between Manchester and Brooklin on Nos. 7 and 12 and also the congestion on No. 2 as far east as Newcastle, In continuing No, 7 about four or six concessions north of No. 2 it would relieve the congestion on the south road to a far greater: de- gree than if the road was taken north to Port Perry he contended. "The habit developed by motorists lately who séem to persist in driving their éars as fast as they are built to go," he stated, "would make a straight road much preferable. In Route No. 3, proposal the highway would rum al- most straight with no cornets from Green River to the centre of Darham County, It would then turn north for a distance of some ten miles, and then run east to turn north again upon Meeting No. 28." Newcastle to Lindsay The people of Clarke - Township have approached the government in an effort to have the road running from Newcastle to Lindsay taken over as a provincial highway, Mr. Wad- dell said, and the propsed "Route No. 8" would hook up with that road, and in that manner link up with roads to Northern Ontario running out .of Lindsay and with the Ferguson high- way running into the north country. Twenty-eight miles of that route would be made up of county roads that"are now in good condition, and the ten miles of road between the eighth line of Clarke and the eighth line' of Manvers would not' duplicate the provincial road from Neweastle to Lindsay. It would be the cheapest route to follow, he maintained, and (Continued on back page) -have nothing to do. = | worry and worry, you know, worry [Farm Lite (By Mrs. Rey Langmald, of Selina, Now-a-days when we speak of sun or sunny we all begin to fan ourselves and look for shade but of course that is not what we mean by our title; but rather the happy side and when we come to write a paper on that aspect of farm life there is lots to say but I found it rather difficult to express it in suitable language, Now, perhaps, first of all we might speak of the freedom of farm life. In factory or office there are such hard and fast rules. One must be there at the prescribed hours and nothing but sickness must interfere. But if the farmer wishes to go off for a day to a-picnic or ball game or even to visit a friend, he is his own boss and may go. -Of course I know there will be more to do another day but the free- dom to go and come is one of the high lights in farming for most of us. Some say, yes, but the chores must be done. -I know, :but whenever we wish we can do them a little earlier or later and still have our outing. Next I-think I would put-the com- panionship between man and wife and father and children in their work. No '| other calling allows for this com- panionship, - "When father and boys are working together in the fields how much. better chums they can become than in the factory or office, or profes- sional man with his family whom he only sees in the evening and' possibly not then, for each then often go their own way for recreation. And when the men are very busy at harvest time or some such time the wife and mother can often help out with the necessary chores and thus there is a real partnership and companionship in our work. . But some say, yes, that is all right but we are so busy all the time we have no time for companion- ship; no time of anything. Oh, yes, we have and better far to be busy than For then we kills more people than work. Listen what Wilhelmina Stitch says: Little worry! sit you down. Now. I have 'to mend this gown. Can't attend to. you and sew, Nearest. duty's first you know. Little worry! Run away Can't hear what you' have to say. Milkman's standing at the door, Have to sweep the nursery floor. Duties near to hand are these. Wait your turn, small worry please. "Little worry! don't draw nigh. ~ 'Now I have to bake a pie, Children's dinner sharp at one, Many things still to be done. Are you sulking, little worry Borry, but I'm in a hurry. = Baby's crying, can't you hear him? Cannot lofter, myst be near him. Little worry!" P'r'aps tomorrow ri have time To talk of sorrow. But just now I've in my arms Such a potent Jump o'charms, Such a rosy, laughing hoy-- * Worries melt beneath this joy. Really I've no time for you, Such alot of things to dol Then the farm is surely the place for the children and no home is com- plete without children. Here they learn to see beauty in the growing things, feel God negr in the little calves," and chickens and pigs and learn easily the beautiful story of life as they see-it in nature. Surely for our family's sake we should love to be on the farm. , Don't you think that every summer :| when we sée the families leaving the towns and cities \by the scores that that proves to us the country is the best place and when the father has to go off to the hot city each day to work probably only seeing his family at the week end how glad we should be that our men can be with us all the time and our family life does not need to be so broken up," Then, as well, when the boys become older, there is always 'work for them to do on the farm. You and I all know many people who have moved to the farm for the sake of the boys, so that they may have work to do for in the towns they Had nothing and "Satan always finds something for idle hand to do. Then we often hear people' say "Oh, yes, but what about the money. Farmers never be- come rich. Quite true but neither do they often starve and money fs not / | splendid with seldom an ache. er." \ at a meeting of Honeydale fw. I) nearly so necessary as many of us think, It will not buy health and happiness and if we have enough to live on that should be all we need. "If 1 only had more money"--well supposing it were so, Would you find the day more sunny? Now really it is funny to think that lots of money can buy a sunset's glow. "A motor car"----oh yes, of course, and lots of things you think you need. You'd like to 'own a coal-black horse, you really would, indeed? Yes, money buys a motor car. This is true I nust confess, But don't you see it's funny: to think a lot of money can buy you happiness, "If I only had more money" --Dear foolish one now cease! Stppose you had a princely pile, you couldn't buy true friendship's smile, nor purchase joy's long lease. It's really very funny to think a lot of money could-make the day more sun- ny or bring your soul sweet peace." Then some say, "yes there is happi- ness and sunnyness on the farm in summer but--Oh-the winter. I never could endure. the winter," Well, of course it is cold and we are somewhat shut in or were last winter but then is the time we should read and study and give some time to our mind. "Said the mind, with a sigh, ah, me! The body receives attention daily. "They serve it with breakfast, luncheon and tea; and pet it and fuss it and deck it out gaily. Coloured liquids they proffer and also pills, and give it massage to keep it from cold and never grow weary of mending its ills. They spend on the body the last of their gold. If only they'd give some attention to me; but they don't and they won't, said the sorrowful mind. If they'd deck me out gaily with rib- bons of glee, and proffer a draught of clean fruth when they've dined, and show me a necklet of sweet tuneful words, a sane point of view and a goblet of mirth, and a small;-grateful song that is sung by the birds. If they'd fuss over me", said the mind. "For awhile, they'd find life was In- stead of a tonic--a song and a' smile, 'the last thing at night and the minute they-wake. To the fussy old body they're Fonlly: too kind. How much more important the health of - the mind." Many of us don't do this. Would it not be'well for all of us to read two or three classic works during the winter as well as our casual reading | and memorize portions of Scripture and of poetry so that we may have our mind stored with good things just as we store our body. And let us never talk of putting in time in the winter or killing time. "Kill time." Oh! horrid REY Why, should we kill a friend, who in a thousand ways, from start till jour- ney's end, shows love for everyone beneath the sun? "Kill time", Oh! base desire. He gives us sunny hours, cold nights beside the fire, green grass and flowers, the earth and sky above, so much to love. The great adventure life, This is time's gift to all, blended of love and strife and joys both great and small, The golden chance to live --this doth Time give. Love Time and and cherish it! and give it of our best. Our thoughtfulness and wit, a tender, merry test. Our, eyes' "and ears and touch--were not too much." The Medical Dictionary is quite a noble size, contains the names of doctors, has your lungs and heart and eyes. In fact, there is a doctor for every known disease, and each one specializes and no one e'er agrees. But luckily, each household (you will admit this true?) has got the only doctor who knows just what te do. He's the handsomest and kindest and the cleverest man on eaith. There's not another like him; beyond ryhies is his worth, Now this describes my doctor, he's the best I've ever known. and he cures me just by magic when I'm sitting all alone. He never fakes my temperature, blood predsure makes him sneer, he just prescribes some common sense and draught of right good cheer. His name ia Doctor Cheerup, call him to you when you're ill, he will ease that gnawing headache with a laughter-coated pill!" I'm closing with what Sandy Fraser (Continued on back page) Lakeside The Scugog Lakeside Beach Asso- ciation inaugurated its sports day on Saturday last and it is expected to make this an annual attraction. The event was successful in every respect and the weather was wonderful, on the theory that one more day's drought could do no more harm they ceased to 'pray for the much needed rain and the weatherman acquiesed in the conspiracy with the-result that all went along according to schedule and many compliments were paid to the executive and committees on their work in arranging and carrying out the program, which consisted of water and land sports, a girls' softball game and a dance in the evening at Mrs, Barlow's, she having kindly loaned her large cabin for that purpose. The water events took up most of the time and Mr, A. Campbell who had charge, was dubious of getting them completed in time to run off the land sports - before darkness inter- fered but a deputation of young con- testants headed by Bruce Gerrow waited on the manager and demanded justice for the juveniles, Bruce in- timated that he proposed to enter in some of the events himself and thought the new road was a real smart place for a sprint. Ear was given to their prayer and an evening session was promised with the injunc- tion that no supper be eaten before the "events, The "significant feature of the fete was the fusion of the north and south ends of the Beach in a political circle The exclusive north-enders came down off their perch on the hillside to mingle with the Six-Milers for the first time and when they did amalga- | mate their unanimity was wonderful and if the Port View Beachers and the Pine Pointers line up with them at the next election their united vote will carry the slate for a New Deal for the Cottagers. Councillors take notice. eB BE In a nutshell their grievance is this. The resort known as Lakeside Beach, was once the west end of John Mil- ner's farm which was then assessed for about $4500 and this strip of pasture devoid of buildings, by the most generous not have represented more than $1000 of this and as the Scugog mill rate in those days was 16 it brought only $15 to the exchequer, This strip is now dotted with seventy cottages from SEAGRAVE v Mrs, Chas.

On Wednes- day the Leask family held their 8th. Owing to the unsettled condition of the weather there was not as large a crowd as usual. An interesting game of softball was enjoyed by the intermediates. The children enjoyed the swings. About five o'clock all gathered around the well laden tables which had been ar- ranged by the committee in charge. Hugh Beaton of Oshawa was respons: ible for the large supply of ice cream. Enough for everyone even those of the Dobson clan who were also enjoying a _re-union, The Leask gathering is made up of the descendants of Peter and James Leask who emigrated from Aberdeen- shire, Scotland, nearly one hundred vears ago, Their ancesters in this same shire can be traced back to the thirteenth century when "confirmation of character" was given to William Leask of his lands of Leskoroune by King David II of Scotland. It was interesting to have a number of the older people in the family pre- sent. Those over seventy years of age were as follows: Mr. James Leask of Port Perry; Mr. J. Peter Leask, Taunton; Mr. James J. Leask, Black- 'water; Mrs, J. M. Real, Uxbridge; and Mrs, John Beaton, Blackwater. It was decided to hold the picnic of 1937 in Oshawa.

Sykes, at the ripe age of 86, Mrs. Devitt was the last remaining member of the family of the late Mr, and Mrs. 9. Sykes. She was born at Utica where she passed her childhood days. Later her family removed to Prince Albert, Ontario, where. she married the late | James Squelch, who "predeceased her after a few years of happy married life. She then became the bride of Mr. Thomas Glide who alse prede- ceased her. In 1901 she married the late Johnson Devitt who died in 1925. She occupied the house now occupica by Mrs. Arthur Woodley, of Prince Albert. About sixteen years ago she and her late husband removed to Myrtle Station where she has--lived ever since. The late Mrs. Devitt was fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. S. Claughton who ministered to her so efficiently in her declining years. The deceased lady kept remarkably well in spite of her-age and not until ten weeks ago did her health show signs of failing. She was well beloved by her many relatives and as a neigh- bour could not be surpassed. In spite of the terrific heat a great crowd of 'relatives and friends attended the last rites all of whom spoke most highly of "one who was full of good deeds." . Rev. Jos. Denny, of Prince Albert, conducted the funeral service. Her earthly remains were laid to rest in Piné Grove Cemetery. to o> BLACKSTOCK CONTINUATION SCHOOL Middle School Results. Ellen Emerson--Comp.
