The road is the only royal line in a democracy, the only legislature that never changes, the only court that never sleeps, the only army that never quits, the first aid to the redemption of any na- tion, the exodus from stagnation in any society, the call from savagery in any tribe, the high priest'of pros. perity after the oxider of Melchisedec, without beginning of days or end of life.

The Advance feels that the article in The Canadian Motorist is well worth wide poblicity and general consideration and notice. In this connection The Canadian Mo- torist says :â€" “Rome‘s record in road building stood unrivalled until the advent of the motor era. The Via Apple was but one of a vast network of highwaysâ€"an- other girdled the Mediterraneanâ€"over which her mighty legions marched to subjugate and make tributary to Rome the known world and introduce and maintain the law, order and culture of the Latin people. “All roads lead to There has been much in these col- umns recently in regard to roads. The proposed Trans-Canada roao. through Northern Ontario has natur- ally been featured as well as the road that all who have considered the question seriously feel should be built to connect up Timmins and Sudbury and all the other towns and centres of the North Land. not to mention roads for settlers, and roads to give mining properties access to transpor- tation facilities. With all these re- ferences to roads in particular, it may be of interest to readers of The Ad- vance to consider roads in general and their intrinsic value not only to the development of the country but also to the growth of democracy and the increase of civilization. In this con- nection there was recently an article in The Canadian Motorist on the val- "It will be recalled that Rudyard Kipling epigrammatized Macaulay’s famed tribute to transportation in “Transportation is civilization." Like most sweeping generalities, to say nothing of epigrams, that assertion is too comprehensive.

In simple equity it should be added, how- ever, that Greece was the only ancient power to gain dominance over the vast Mediterranean basin and beyond that was not a great road.builder. More than six and a half millenniums ago, more than as long before Abraham's time as it in turn antedated the advent of the Christian era and than that epochal event anticipated today, King CheOps had a road paved with blocks of stone eight to ten feet in depth over which to trasport the massive masonry for 'his titanic tombs, the Great Pyra- mid at Ghizeh. This. the most colossal of the mausolea of the world, contains sufficient stone, according to John Stoddard's computation, to pave a road around France thirty feet in width and six inches in thickness!

The great part the motor clubs have played in making this the greatest good road era, in history is an epic story that possibly, never will be adequately told. This achievement alone would not only have justified their existence but made it illustrious. Today they are largely concerned not only with the building 31‘ more and better highways but with their proper use with regard to the best interests of all concerned. Resolutely they oppose the rail interests when they seek to jeopardize the service to the people of the highways through advocacy of lethal legislation, unsalu- tary regulation and extortionate taxa- tion governing the operation of motor vehicles. Time and again they have challenged utterances to the effect that public and contract carrier motor vehi- cles have “free” use of the road and are permitted to operate without regu- lation. It is noteworthy that Sir Henry Thornton and E. W. Beatty have never uttered sophistries of this type and that both in referring to the business the highwayhas taken from the railway have pointed out also that a tremen- dous volume of business has been con- tributed to the railway both directly and indirectly through motorization and highway construction and mainâ€" tenance." burden would permit, over the big part of two claims, or almost a half a mile.

Some time ago Sir Thomas White, one of Canada’s leading finan- ciers and economists who served the Dominion with such distinction as war time finance minister, remarked to the editor in the course of a conversation in which he expressed the hope that the trans-Canada highway would be completed and improved as expedi- tiously as possible: “There is no other public work in which governments en- gage that contributes as much to the welfare of the peOple as the building of good roads."

The attractive blue fruit with ‘its thickly set clusters, regular and well filled. has been popular wherever sent. “Worden, Niagara. and Rogers are other varieties which are extensively grown and which are showing up well. I interviewed several growers during my recent trip through the Peninsula and the opinion was expressed by all that the fruit belt would make history this season. After viewing the crop which is now maturing I can concur in the reports which the producers have made. I have never see more promising vineyards." This Was a Perfect Season for Grapes “Moore's Early will be the first vari- ety to be offered and this crop is now in a very advanced stage and gives promise of establishing a record for yield and quality. The warm sun is adding what might be termed the "fin- ishing touches.’ Moore's Early is much like the Concord. different mainly in season, vigor and productiveness and requires more careful attention. Camp- bell Early, which is also making satis- factory progress is seedling of Moore‘s Early pollinated by another production. “Grape growers of Niagara Penin- sula have a crop to be proud of and the better quality should find a ready market," reported W. G. Marritt, the Wentworth agricultural representative at the completion of a trip through the district of inspection. The differ- ent varieties will soon be at their best, he stated, in referring to the progress )f the crop. “The growing season was the great- est factor in the production of this year's wonderful crop for the desired warm weather was experienced,” add- ed the Official. “Grapes this year will be higher in sugar content; a very de- sirable feature."

PROPOSE TO SINK SHAFT ON THE MCMAHON PROPERTY In view of the fact that box lacrosse 'is planned to be one of the major isports at the Timmins High and Tech- nical Schools these days there will be more thon passing interest here in this new sport. which is simply an adopt- ation of the old sport of lanosse to indoor conditions. Box lacrosse has been taken up at Kapuskasing this 1 year and is said to be making a big hit I there. In Old Ontario it is also very popular in many towns. An editorial note in The St. Mary's Journal-Argus last week sayszâ€"“Box lacrosse, the new indoor species of the national game which has been drawing great crowds in the big centres, was tried out at Walkerton last week when Walker- ton and Hanover crossed sticks in an initial exhibition The Telescope states that while the experiment is new, it looks as if the new game will be very popular. With only seven players to a side and the playing field meshed in, the ball is always in play, which makes for increased speed. So much were the Walkerton fans impressed by the new indoor species of lacrosée that a series of games is to be presented un- der the auspices of the hockey club who foresee a bright future for the game which has been dubbed “sum- mer hockey” Forty years ago the term ‘-’boot- legger" was never heard. Licensed dealers in liquor were in every sec- tion of the Province. but even then there were those who ”drank on the sly," not wishing every one to know about it. In a hamlet south of North 'Bay was the keeper of a store who was a strong supporter of prohibition; ibut his clerk saw no reason why he iought not to have a “drink" when he felt inclined. There was a hotel near the store, but he dare not go there for regular drinks, so he adopted what he thought was a cute scheme to put "one over" on the store keeper. He 'put his liquor in a coal oil can and ihung it to the ceiling wheiie were {many similar cans in stock. How- |ever, one day the boss, while waiting .on a customer, unfortunately and ac- cidently took down the can containing the liquorâ€"then it was that “a Daniel came to judgment." “RUSHING THE CAN” IN THE DAYS SOME FORTY YEARS AGO BOX LACROSSE ATTAINING POPULARITY THESE DAYS The Bassano Mail remarkszâ€"“An ac- countant in Vancouver has just become the father of quadruplets. There’s no accounting for what happens these days. He will have to do some clever accounting now to make his budget balance.” Bracebridge Gazetteâ€"In Great Bri- tain the influence of Labour has suc- ceeded in making an “Unemployed" a- bout as well off as a Labourer. It is fast making Britain a nation of loafers Mr. Bennett was right, when he said he would never stand for “The Dole" in Canada. It is quite correct for a Government to provide for national work in times like these but not right to hand out money for no work. This is the right ’ time to have big things done that will pro- vide work but the wages paid should not be so high that those so employed would prefer such Government work to that for private persons. It should be distinctly understood that the work thus being done is purely to prevent distress. This year that work should provide as far as possible for the em- ployment of farm labour with horses for those farmers who «are short of feed. Far better give a farmer work for his horses away from home than provide him with feed for idle horses. Both men and teams would then be in better condition to start spring work on the land.
