Says the Lomion Chronicle: "That the Scottish country called Forfarshire should resume an old name and call itself Angus may seem of small interest to folk born south of the Tweed. Yet there is in Forfar- shire a famous place we all know â- wherever we live or come from. That place is Kiriemuir, Sir .lames Barrie's "Thrums." A little town still grey, and even in sunshine rather gloomy, it has doi-e even more than the cele- brated potatoes that are grown in the district to distinguish Forfarshire. w'e read almost daily in the press "Angus potatoes," we must say from ^..^ ^.^,i results of carelessness of pe- now on.

C. J. BELLAMY. F. W. DUNCAN Dated this 24th day of January, 1928. The home of Sir Wilfred Laurier in Arthabaslca which the great states- man had built in 1877, is to become the property of the Government of the province of Quebec, and v.iU bo utilizedi aa a permanent ;np- icwial museum to Sir Wilfred Ln- .ier, was announced la?t week by Hon. J. E. Pcrrault, Minister of Colonization, Mines and Fisheries. Many people be- lieved, he said, that the home should bcoome the property of the Govern- ment, and within the past few days the Hon. Mr. Perrault heard that two friends of Sir Wilfred Laurier have arr.:nged to purchase the property and to hand it over to the Govern- ment. The purchasers are Noah TimminK, and A. Kirk Cameron, both of Montreal. Hon. Mr. Perrault said the Government would undoubtedly accept the offer. The Kirk Cameron mentioned above is a member of a well-known Arthur township family For a time, as we remember, he was a student in the Gait Collegiate In- stitute. For many years past he has been prominent among the financiers of Montreal. He was always an ar- dent Liberal, a family characteristic. It is to be hoped that a sufficient sum is included in the gift to maintain the place respectably during the gen- erations to come, or that the Govern- ment agrees to an endowment for that purpose. Too many of these public gifts are of the nature of white ele- phants, imposing on the receiver more than is donated by the giver, and later falling into hands that care neither for the giver, the gift or the recipient. â€" Mt.
