Those of us who have been hollering our heads off for warm weather surely got enough and plenty during the past week, sufficient to ., last the summer, thank you. - . An auto was overturned in a collision at Or- illia s busiest intersection and pedestrians were given a real thrill, much as our grandparents got when a horse ran awa on the main street. But then Old Dobbin selt om runs away now. He has acquired a lot of horse sense since `the advent of automobiles. `s-' has Fed!

A $25 and costs fineadded to the misery. Cutting in on busy highways is proving not only risky, but expensive business these davs. - -------- V For the benefit of unmarried ladies who are prone to proscrastinate, they are reminded that . leap year is more than half gone. these days. s Much has been written over D0mll`llOll Day on the prosperous state of Canada, but surely it does not apply to the federal department of public works judging` from the present state of e disrepair -of the government dock near the C.N. R. depot. There are two holes in it big enough for Aunt Eppy to fall through. Five or ten dol- lars would fix it up. This will likely happen af- ter an accident has occurred. Right now it is positively dangerous. A Hydro Number of the Owen Sound Sun- Times, of twenty-eight pages, issued June 30, is a real credit to that publication and to the district it serves. it serves to show the power for good a newspaper can -be in the industrial development of its territory, for in no other manner could the progress and resources be so comprehensively reviewed. It probably came as an eye-opener to the people of Grey and Bruce counties the-extent and diversity of manufac- turing which has fallen in thewake of the Eu- genia development; for it has marked a new era `for that section of the province. The local police force is to be commend- ed for prompt action in spotting two door-to- door pedlars last `week. When questioned it was found, as expectet, that they did not have_mun- icipal licenses to ply their trade. There IS too much of this thing going on, not only in Bar- rie but throughout the county.

The heat wave, however, is not without its humor. On Sunday a.Sunday School class ad- journed to the water front and there held ser- vice. That was practical. The same evening several thousand citizens gathered at Queen s Park to listen to a service and sacred concert by one of the finest bands in the province.

But it would seem that Barrie will have to prove it all over again, with respect to Bayfield and Collier Sts. in particular.
