It is a lamentable fact that after. seven o'- clock in the evening the various mem- bers of" the family are usually scat- tered to the four winds. Various ac- tivities outside of the home claim the children's presence not on one night of the week but on many. Rarely do the members of a [family spendaan ev- ening together in the home. This fact is widely recognized and is one that . calls for serious thoug'ht~iuf the home as an institution is not to be wiped` from: the social map.

Sneers, a But Doesn't Help Trenton Courier-Advocate: When you hear a man sneering at the local `newspaper because it is not as. big as the city daily, you can safely _bet that he does not spend_any. of his money in assisting-to make it bigger and that generally the paper has done more for-him that` he has for it.

In deciding` to take insurance` against public liability and property damage, the township councils of 'Vespra and Flos show good business judgment. With the greatly increas- ed traffic on the highways, roads and bridges now wear out much more . rapidly and the possibility of accid- ents is greater. A serious` one might cost `the municipality thousands of dollars , with consequent increase in the tax rate. The Fergus News-Re- ` cord says a recent lawsuit in that town requires an extra mill on this year's taxationto meet the cost. A ' judgment for $1500 was given in the . courts the other day against the town of Campbellford, growing out of a suit for an accident by which a per- son was thrown out of a motor car through a wheel striking a depression on the street. Many other instances might be quoted. .Where the cost of A insurance isonly a little over $100 ` a year,-as is the case of Vespra, the municipality cannot afford to take a chance. The policy covers not only` damages arising out of defects in the highways, but any property damage "to which the township may be liable. comfortable living, and ten chances to one, `after they` have thoroughly inspected our `busy little metropolis, they will come here "to live.
