Their estimate was $34,678. The pavement which they agree to put down is a ve-inch con- crete base with bitulithic top on Elizabeth from Bradford to Bayeld and a bitulithic top on Dunlop from Bayeld to Mulcaster on the present base, with necessary storm sewers. The Warren Co. submitted this as an alternate tender, having` agreed to put down a pavement according to speci- cations for the same price, and as Council felt that this was a superior pavement to that which the speci- cations called for, it was accepted.

I Mr. McVicar remarked on the change in modern traffic from that of former years, and discussed par- ticulary the change in the Highwa_vs Improvement Act, by which statute labor is abolished. He advised the Council that the work must be done by day labour and contract in order to obtain tlze Government grants. 'T`l1n ennnvinfnrulnnf nrnfnr-ml his E0 ootam Hie uovernmem; grants. The superintendent prefaced his remarks by pointing out the value of the side drain to a road. If you can keep the sub _Q`rade dry the road will carry trafc, he stated. Brief reference was made to the snow shovelling, which in many cases is bothersome, yet necessary. It was shown how tlifculties arising" in this connection could be overridden.

Speaking" of the change in the ,`Hi_e'hways Improvement Act, the rsuperintendent pointed out that townships working under the Colon- ization Act were unaffected. The changre abolishing` statute labor be- comes effective in 1925. The speak- er quoted statistics to show that statute labour is too expensive. Under such system the lowest cost of loading , l'.'Z1UliI1Q_' and dumping` a load of gravel was 18c and the high- est $6. Under day labour and con- tract thc lowest was 39c and the highest $1.09.

I%ITa1'i1's011 Outlines I Holy Name Ideals Nearly two hundred members of the Barrie branch attended the first an- nual demonstration of the Holy Name Society in the northern part of To- ronto Archdiocese, held in Orillia on Sunday last. Special trains from Toronto and Midland were run to accommodate the hundreds who at- tended. In previous years it has been customary to hold the rally in Toronto, but in future a special celebration will be held by the var- ious branches in the northern part of this Archdiocese. Lauu un J. unuun. Twelve hundred members of the Holy Name Society assembled in Couchiching Park and marched to the Church of the Guardian Angels. The parade was unaccoinpaniecl by music or clamour, only the tramp, tramp, tramp of twelve hundred marchin_L,>' feet, could be heard as the procession moved onward in a silent demon stration of reverence for the Holy Name. At the head was the Toronto contingent, which numbered eigxhty. Next came the Barrie dele- gation, who, as members of the head Parish of the Deanery, were given a fore-place in the march. The Gril- lia members, under whose direction the rally was held, were last in the procession. In charge of the Barrie representatives were Dean Sweeney, Father Brennan, Geo. Cameron, president of the local branch, and Ed. Ludlow, marshall. Many Parishes Represented The clergy and large representaf tions were present f1'om Brechin; Uptergrove, Waubaushene, Phelps- ton, Penetang, Mount St. Louis; Midland, Orillia and Barrie, the lat1 tor including` members from Lefroy and Belle Ewart. Many members 0 the juvenile branches were presen in the parade, Orillia being; best re-_ presented. , ' Tim Cl11ii'nlw of H19 Cimrtlian pl'SCl1E9(l.. : The Church of the Guardian Angels, which towers with impresi sive stateliness on the hillside, could not accommodate all who would en-` ter. The gallery and vestibule were lled, and even the space in the sanctuary was used and still many failed to gain admittance. Fr. Carbcrry Welcomes Rev. Fr. Carberr_v, pastor of Oril- lia parish, recited the Rosary, after which he heartily welcomed the So- ciety members, commenting on the splendid turnout and expressing: the hope for even more successful future demonstrations. He described the celebration as a silent and eloquent object lesson of respect for the Holy Name and a crusade against profan- ity or any irregularity in speech or action. .u\,v.

Father Harrison in his opening re- the worl: of the church in the 5th century in uphold- ing virtueiand faith against the nu- slaught of the Huns, a nomadic people from Northern Asia, who con- large parts of Europe. Your work, said the speaker, "is to stand by the church as an alley, in defence of faith, virtue and the principles of Christian life. Holy Name Ideals Father Harrison said a Holy Name member must be a man of Faith, of Hope, of Charity and of Patriotism. As.,a man of faith he must uphold the principles of Christianity both in words and deeds. He must have llope to realize that this \vorld is not all. In this will be found the answer to the mystery of su`erin_g and perse.cution, which lead to bet- ter thin_e's. In charity, following the example of Christ, he must lend a ll('l1)ll`l_L`,' hand to his neighbour, not merely in kind words from the lips, but in actions and deeds of lllel heart. Such charity involyr- .\`(.`l`\'lC(.` to God, to a nei,e-'hl>our and to our native land.

Appropria- tions Inade for road and h1'i(lg'e ("C- penditure by the County Council last wegzk total $175,000. In 1923 the amount spent was $231,000, and in 1922 the sum needed was ;'~`l.- 30,- 000. `H- .'.- ~.n..-\...nm-.,l 4-n LVr\nhA] mnn mm. It is proposed to spend $100,000 en_ construction 'and $75,000 on maintenance in 1924. The appro- priation may at rst sight appear high, but it should be remembered that Simcoe is Ontario s larj.:`est County and that there are 480 miles of roadway to_be looked after.

Construction Takes $40,000 Details of the construction work were outlined by Freeman Campbell, County Engineer, in conver:;'.1tion with the Advance. At least ten miles of roadway will be constructed. This item will take about $40,000 of the total amount set aside for road building. Culverts and Bridges $60,000 The principal expenditure will be for culverts and bridges. Mr. Camp- bell expects tliat $35,000 will be needed for bridges and $20,000 for culverts. The number to be built is not yet known. Bridges should be erected over the Mad River at Ker- non and over the Pine River at Tioga. It is as yet undecided whether to erect both or only one this year. A committee has been appointed to discuss the matter. Each bridge will cost approximately $8,000. No bridge work has been started yet. . . r< `nu App1'0p1`iati011 $175,000.00 C0u11t_V Roads Now In Good Sllape. 1u.uu..vun \..a.uuu LUL n. \vua uhbullupxl-I The specications _Q'i\ CY1 to the= tenclcrers called for a ve-inch crushed stone base with bituminous_ penetration top on Elizabeth froml Bradforrl to Bayc-M and a three-I inch bituminous penetration top on.[ Dunlop St. from Bayeld to Mulcas- ter with the necessary storm sewers. 01.. 4._..,I_.__ ,,__,_, Lv_____..,..1_1.. ,.,,__ LIIC LUllLL(A1_y' . There may be a few places where sections of the road are not up to standard, but on the whole the roads are gooi, rejoined the County En- gineer. For instance, the road be- tween Coldwater and Victoria Har- bour is not in the best condition, and we are working` on it now. Roads in South Worse Mr. Campbell was of the opinion that roads in the townships of the south were in poorer shape than the others. This he attributes to the scarcity of gravel there. He spoke of the road connecting Cookstown to the Provincial Highway as being` in bad condition. This road, which ` separates Innisl and VVest Gwi1lim- ' bury, was taken over by the County last year. It's the worst road in the Coun- ty, said the Eng`ineer, of the hi_e'h- way between Brentwood and An{__';us. It is sandy and very little can be done with it.

Miss Mitchell on Monday evening` spoke on The Power of the Gospel at Home and- Abroad. She emphasized the great value of missions in the forei_9,'n eld and told of the influence of medical work. The work of assimilating non- Anglo-Saxons in Canada was spoken` of as the greatest problem of Home" Missions. 1r- `tn 1 n 1 ,I,,,, I r` `L L1,_r Lunnocnvnlau Miss Mitchell declared that the purpose of the W.l\'I.S. was to help" full Christ`s plan of world trans-. formation. Missions have plainly proved their Value, said the speaker, in diffusing education, elevating womanhood, and even transforming" whole communities. They have proved the salvation of many a man and of nations. It was shown that the best way to fxain the svmpathy of the unchristianized was by heal- ing` their bodies. A striking: example of the power of the Gospel was told b_v the Field Secretary. Generali Feng ,of China, became a Christian? and exerted considerable inuence on his subjects while Governor of two` Provinces. The evidence of his` Christian spirit so impressed over: half of an army of 40,000 under` him that they are now genuine Chris- tians, though not nominally follow- ers of Christ. 1111,, _,1, .1` L1,, xiv `urn :_ _..A...L 1:15 U1. \J|.llDln 1 The work of the W.M.S. is estab- lished in fteen school homes and asl many hospitals in Canadian locations was referred to and the work being done by these institutions was dis-' cussed.

Two big innings, the first and the last, were all that Barrie needed to! crush Thornton yeste1'r.lay 16 to 2. By virtue of this victory Barrie kept` pace with the leaders in the South Simcoe league and boosted their stock considerably. A rather peculiar feature of the game was that the locals had more runs to their credit` than they had hits, but it is ea.=ily expained wlzen Thornton s twelve errors are mentioned.. One hit in the opening` spasm combined with four errors netted the home-ster< ve counters. Two bingles and one error in the tlzird let two more across the pan, while in the eighth seven hlo\\'.< sprinkled with five errors accounted for nine.
