Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS/ THURSDAY, MAY 30th, 1935 Weed Inspectors Met at Cobourg Weed Inspectors and a number of Reeves and Road Superintendent! from the various municipalities in the Counties of Northumberland and Durham met at Cobourg. John D. MacLeod, Provincial Weed Inspector outlined the new Weed Act explaining that sections had been added more clearly denning the duties and authority of Weed Inspectors. It is now necessary that all threshing machines be licensed. All machines must be thoroughly cleaned before moving to the next farm. Weed Ins pectors now have authority to stop outside threshing if it is shown that noxious weed seeds such thistle are blowing from the threshing over a neighbouring property. Operators of grain elevators, mills and seed plants must now dispose of all refuse in such a manner that said refuse does not create a weed menace on neighbouring property. It is illegal to dump weed seeds in rivers, streams or ponds. Owners and occupants of land under the new Weed Act are responsible for the destruction of weeds down to the low water mark on all streams and lakes. Members present felt that milk weed should be placed on the Weed Mr. W. J. Stephens discussed methods of weed control including the use of chemical weed killers. A block summerfallow is still the most effective method of controlling all weeds. Chemicals may be used effectively on roads and for small patches in fields. A. H.

AUGUST Health Day Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. f-Mrs. P. A. Thompson. YES, It's True That the Colborne Express is owned by an individual. It is his property and he must pay the bills and assume all responsibilities. On the other hand, it is also true that somehow or other the public looks upon the community newspaper as being partly their property. The community expects its public institutions to be defended, to be favorably reported, to be kept in good report throughout the dstrict and the Province. Churches, societies and organizations look for and expect their activities to be reported in their home paper. And the home paper does all these things--likes to do them. This being so, it is only human that the owner of, and those who are employed at, the local newspaper office should expect that all these various interests would return the compliment through giving it printing orders. If all the printing requirements of this district were to be printed in Colborne, The Express would have to more than double its present staff.

The recent building boom in South Africa has brought about a big demand for electric stoves and rangettes. Recently constructed apartment houses in Johannesburg, of which thei ?. have been a large number, have had electric stoves and refrigerators installed.
