Later you may extend your knowledge if you wish, The aim here is to tell how to distinguish the deadly poison- ous mushrooms and some of the ex- cellent edible fungi. & The only thing upon which reliance can be placed is personal knowledge of the fungi.

The 'most comimon of these very poi- sonous Mushrooms are two--the first being known generally as the "death- cup" and the second as the "fly. amanita." "These may be detected by the color of the spores and by the fact that the stems grow out of cup-like strue- tures. The spores are white. The color of the spores of a mushroom can usually be told by the color of -the gills... When there is any doubt, how. ever, a "spore print" may be made, and from this the color ean readily be told. Take a mushroom that is almost mature, cut off the stem close to the cap, and lay the cap, gills down, on a piece of 'paper.

In fact, it may be absent entirely, especially if the mushroom is pulled up instead of dug up, because the stem will often pull out of it. Moreover, in the "but- ton" or very young stage. the cup can- not be made out, The cup, therefore, stamps a mush- room dangerous.

Important as it is to know the marks of the degdly mushrooms, it is almost as important to know well some particular species which are per- fectly safe to gather. It is not safe to reject only the Amanitae, as there are some other forms which are also poisonous or indigestable and irvating to the alimentary canal. Four Good Kinds Easily Recognized. _ The safest fungi to gather, especial- ly for the beginner, are the puffballs. on old stumps and logs, have the taste of decaying wood, and are therefore unsuitable for food. All have a bit- ter taste after the interior begins to tun brown, But with these exceptions, all are edible; and most of them are very fine flavored. . Some of the large one attain a diameter of ten inches or more. Such a specimen will furnish a mess for several families.

WIDEN HIGHWAY TO WHITBY. : IN NEXT THREE YEARS The westerly" limits of the. Town of Whitby will not be reached with the widened Kingston Highway, to take care. of four-lane traffic until at least 1940, a deputation from Whitby Deputy-Minister Smith of the Depart- ment of Highways. The deputation was further inforimed that when the time comes Whitby will be consulted as to the route to be taken through the town. The deuptation, consisting of His Worship, Mayor A. W. Jackson, Reeve Fred T. Rowe, deputy-reeve William Davidson and councillors A. M. Irwin and Herbert Wilson and Town En- gineer H, L.. Pringle, went to Queen's Park to ascertain the truth of runiors which have been afloat in the county town for some time to the effect that the contract for the widening of the highway as far as Whitby had been awarded, and that the route through Whitby, said to be about half a mile south from the Fours Corners, had been chosen. Diversion from the pre- sent route, it was feared would great- ly curtail business in the town, The deputy-minister told the. dep- utation that there was nothing to worry about at the present time, as it would be three years before the widening project reached the limits of Whitby, and by that time he said, both town and highway department of- ficials might_change their minds as to what the best route would be. The growth of traffic in that time might be the determining point. The south route through the town, the deputy- minister said, was out of the question. It was suggested that if Dundas St. which is the highway through Whitby, was retained, it might be used for east bound traffic and Marvy Street, one block north, and a very wide thoroughfare, for westbound trafife. However, there was nothing definite on this point decided. . : It was disclosed, that a decision was regarding the route from West Hill to Pickering, the most favoured course running in a direet line from Highland Creek bridge to a point meeting the highway at Pickering, which would run the highway south of Dunbarton, - feet in total width.. This year it was expected "that two and half miles woud be built, extending from West Hill eastward. The deputy-minister estimated that it would require $250,000 to bridge the Rouge River, and that the appropria- tions for the year were not sufficient to carry a programme through to Whitby inside of three years. Oshawa Times RN THE BOOK FAIR AT WHITBY It was a matter of pleasant surprise to visitors to see what a comprehen- sive display was secured by the people first Book Fair, on Tuesday and Wed- nesday of this week. "Many publishers made a special dis- play, and the Whitby and Oshawa Libraries had an exhibition of repre- sentative books. The addresses given in the auditor- ium of the church were of particular interest to book lovers. Rev. Russell O'Brien, the local minister first intro- duced Mr. Leslie MacFarlane, a writer by, who must he an indefatigable worker, judging by the volume of his productions, Mr. MacFarlane in turn introduced Mr. Deacon, literary critic of". the "Globe and Mail", He emphasized the fact that great literature is native to the small centres where people hve | more, naturally than they do in great cities. tit "Next the audience was favoured by the prexence of Sir Charles G. D. Roberts, Yaad' beloved poet. He read three of his recent productions, which gave evidence of his ability to express in beauty the visions and aspirations of humanity, Mr. Pelham Edgar, President of the Jookmen's Association, was the final speaker, taking as his subject, "Fads and Fashions in Fiction", He gave a criticism of modern tendencies in fiction, which pointed to a futurism in words which would likely run its course as it has in painting, The management of the Book Fair, (Miss Harper, Rev.
