all the talk about 1 g iways there is precious little consideration h co vhe ner of a farm the farmer is building nan iuug tens of thousands of miles of roads y rajgesat a small fraction of the money being nt on the comparatively tiny percentage of provin- f highways look at normanby township in the southwest corner of grey county with a total annual budget of jjess than 60000 the five normanby councillors all farmers build and maintain 150 miles of roads this includes grading ditching building bridges and cul- verts buying graders and trucks snowplowing and overhead 1 these township roads and bridges are passable enough to serve buses on the winter school runs but look what happens when the township asks the province to take over a piece of road costs are not merely doubled or tripled they are multiplied ten or twenty times this year for example a road in normanby town ship was designated the mount forest bypass de velopment road 330 v rebuilding was according to specifications

kavanagh ix th asnals ot human histor there are men whose cour age is staggering and the story of arthur kavanagh is one of them there is a brief account of that remarkable man arthur kavaxach was one of the most extraordinary men who ever lived his life story is stranger than fiction he was bom in ireland in 1831 with only the rudiments of arms and legs mere stumps instead of proper limbs fortunately his parents were in fairly comfortable circumstances and secured the best medical and surgical assistance but nothing came of it every effort resulted in causing great pain to the boy and bitter disappointment to his parents ik spite or predictions that he could not live kavanagh thrived the muscles of what arms and legs he had grew strong with constant use that he learned to ride a horse holding it with a strong rein and even using a whip he became a first- class rider and although he was strapped into a saddle chair he learned to ride at a fast pace and to take fences as well as the best riders in the countryside furthermore he became an expert angler learned to write letters more legibly than most people who have fingers and even painted pictures kavasachs skill in shooting amazed everyone seated in the saddle chair on his horse he would rest his gun on the stump which served as a left arm and pull the trigger with an attach ment made to his right arm so expert did he become that generally he could shoot birds on the wing while his horse trotted along at a good pace while still in his teens he travelled in the east with his tutor and his brother he visited egypt and palestine riding hundreds of miles strapped in his saddle chair on the back of an arab steed wherever he went he aroused a good deal of curiosity the sight of this young man without arms or legs who could ride so well and whose intelligence was of such a high order excited wonder and admiration on several occa sions the party was attacked by robbers and kavanaghs coolness and courage was responsible for getting out of more than one tight corner on one occasion the girth of his saddle gave way and he and his saddle chair were dashed to the ground he was picked up unconscious but fortunately he was not seriously injured and the following day he was riding again considering the terrible physical handicaps kavanagh had to face his unfailing cheerfulness was one of the most amazing things about him he might easily have become sour and dis gruntled but he was never heard to complain wherever he went he wrote letters of great interest describing the places he saw and the people he met these letters always bubbled over with fun and good nature when he had completed his thirtieth year he wrote a long letter in which he reviewed his life the letter was remarkable for the constant references to the good ness of god and all his blessings this letter is considered by many to be one of the most remarkable letters in all literature in 1866 kavanagh was elected to parliament where he rep resented his people until 1880 it was an unusual sight to see a man without arms and legs addressing that assembly but he was always listened to with consideration and great respect he died in london in 1889 a leading magazine said he was one of the most extraordinary men who ever lived our quotation today is by benjamin franklin god help those lulio help themselves for parents only belonging to a qroup by nancy cleaver if ones own kin and kith were more fun to be with adolescents in their eager ness for companionship some times drift into juvenile delin quency they pick up doubtful companions on the streets and drift into a lawless gang boys especially are eager to belong to a group and win approval of their friends frequently they will steal or destroy property
