He said that about three thousand years ago, and it might be argued that if he lived today he would change his mind. But there must have been many new things in Solomon‘s day. Solomon‘s Temple at Jerusalem was brand new ; it was one of the wonders of the then known worlid. There were so many new and marvelous things in Solomon‘s kingdom thâ€"* when the Queen of Sheba visited the "ing and was shown around, she gasped CRAVING FOR SOMETHING NEW has rot been told me! Even Solomon would be amazed if is were to visit the world of today with all the marvelous scientific and mechanical invenâ€" tions which are commonplaces of our time. But Solomon was unot thinking of new invenâ€" tions, and he would probably say the same thing today, that the eye is not satisfied with seeing airplanes, nor the ear filled with lisâ€" tering to radios. So far as the radio broadâ€" casts are concerned, many people would agree with Solomon when he said, ‘"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be has been characteristic of mankind down through the ages. In ancient Athens it was a craving for new ideas, for we are told that on Mars‘ hill "all the Athenians and strangâ€" ers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing."

For that reason nearly every town and every city has its main street, alâ€" Mhmmuhhmmmâ€"h is her main street. ‘This particular street at one time was an Indian trail that followed the curves of the mountain from where Hamilton is now located t> the Niagara river. It is interesting to note how the various streets uf this town were numed. Kerman avenue is so callâ€" ed because the late John Kerman built the frst house upon it; for some time he operated the green houses now at the rear of the residence. of way through the town. He was instrumental in getting the company to open a way from Kerman Avenue to Palmer‘s Hill through what was then a corn field and turn the deed of the road over to the town, the company retaining running rights At that time there were three old frame buildings beâ€" tween the Rosebrugh home and the home occupied by Frank McPhail. These were torn down and Grim«by acquired what has now become a heavily travellud highway. After this street was opened the matter of a name for it was brought before the Council. They quickly disposed of the perplexity by unsanimously deciding to call the street Liviagston Kidd Avenue is as everyoune knows, so called, because W. W.

So far no one has been found that canâ€"tell where this street derived its name, unless it was named after a family of that name who lived in or nesr Beamsvilie, but none of the local old timers ever re~wllect their living on this street or even in Robert L Gibson who owned and operated several quarries in this vicinity about sixty years ago.
