Inspected Roads Mr. Herbert Corbett, former Reeve of Artemesia, now chairman of the Grey County highways committee has prepared the following report ot the annual spring inspection of the roads and bridges of the county: "The committee, composed of W H. Hunter, reeve of Egremont, H. H. Thompson, reever Euphrasia, Warden Allan Bell of Durham, Road Superin- tendent John Johnson, Owen Sound Engineer R. C. McKnight and myself as chairman of the committee, madt one of the most thorough tours of in- spection that has been given our sys- tem in years. We only missed that part of the County roads syestem be- tween Grey and Wellington and Grey and Dufferin. These stretches are being patrolled by our neighboring counties. Considering the very un- favorable weather of this past spring and winter, we found our County Road System in exceptionally fine shape, and with an atmosphere of re- trenchment it is the intention of the committee to keep well within the ap- propriation made by the County Council for county road purppses. We decided to build a small bridge in the township of St. Vincent and also one of some thirty-foot span in Euphrasia. This is practically every- thing in the way of construction, ex- cept the rebuilding and improving ol some sharp curves, one particularly, on thd south entrance to Clarksburg, where several accidents have occurred in past years. We are also under- taking some work in the way of dir- ecting streams where we are threat- ened by danger under present con- ditions. We are pleased ti "ote that the pavements laid in 1P31 in Flesherton, Markdale and Meaford came throug.' the winter in excellent shape. It is our intention to keep the maintenance outfits in operation a sufficient length of time to resurface the necessary mileage, so as to retail our standard and not allow the roads already constructed to depreciate. Through the action of the County Cornell at the January session in re- ducing the grant to Owen Sound Sub- urban Area roads, from $10,000 to $5,000, caused a movement to have the jiburbai /re s redu-el from some forty-one miles to thirty-one. Tht County Road Committee has been successful in arranging with the De- partment that no definite steps be taken regarding the reduction rntil after the June session, when the ques- tion may be reconsidered. Thin change would have meant an addi- tional ten miles reverting to the County Roads System. CUT BY FLYING GLASS Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Collins had a narrow escape from serious injury when motoring home on Tuesday from visiting their daughter, Mrs. R. 0. Geddes of Beeton. When betweer. Markdale and Flesherton, a ear, travelling at a fast rate of speed passed, the tires throwing a good sized stone, which struck the wind- shield of the former's car, breaking it into pieces. A piece of glass struck Mr. Collins on the side of the head, causing a deep cut. He re- ceived attention at Markdale, but was able to proceed home. Tara Leader BORN BOWLES In Mferkdale on Satur- day.

Our fathers before us never lived in easy times. Life is a battle, not a panic. We get a fleeting taste ol prosperity oce in a while, but per- manent prosperity is aitmply ballyho- that you get on the radio during pol- it/V-al campaigns. We mast face things as they are and go to work. Ther are people who reach for the paper each day to see if good times are coming back. They want to see 1 what the government is soir.g to do ! for them. They think the latter ?i I Santa Claus. Let us all pet down to real las^n<^3 and work.

And the time to paint U note. Your house, your garage, your fences, your shutters, screen*, flower boxes they all need the weather -resist- ing protection of SWP. You can buy cheaper paint, of course. but. remember, there's no paiiit bargain like good quality. We kiiow SWP to be the best paint bargain of all.
