Wednesday, August 20, 1924 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE W. H. THURSTON, - Editor THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE R0AD8: PAST, I'RESENT AND FUTURE Here in Canada we have entered on an era of ^uod roads â€" cement high- wayg and all that sort of thing. But this is uiily history repeating itself. Two thousand years ago the Romans were energetic builders of good roads in Italy and in their British colony. Remains of these old highways exist at the present day. The most re- nowned of these was the Appian Way a road elevated on blocks of stone, and which ran eventually from Rome to Brindisi. Even Mr. Biggs never contemplated emulating the Romans in anything so gyirantic as this. But the Romans built in England roads somewhat similar to those we are now financing in Canada. These roads, like our own, were found nec- essary for through chariot traffic. Ours are for gas chariot traffic When Pizarro conquered Peru he also found there highways of marv- elous excellence, probialy better than vhey have there to-day. But just what kind of traffic the Incas in- dulged in we are not told. As we have said, Canada is build- ing good roads for gas wagon traffic. But these will in time disappear, and a thousand years hence, when human- ity is soaring to business with flyo- meters or ga.s wings, such things as good roads will never be lii>ard of, and the man who bores a well may strike concrete and think he has hit a new geological formation. And when roads are done away with the government can scarcely tax us for the maintenance of highways through the air. However we suppose they will find some other means of soak- ing us. No doubt the Amusement Tax Department will still exist a thousand years hence, and will doubt- less have flyftg machines patrolling the sky to locate racng meets and soaring parties in order to take a nibble out of the proceeds. However, thsse fantastic ideas do not lead one very far, because, un- less the Hindoo idea of transmigra- tion of souls is correct, none of us will be here at the time. But one may express a wish, as did John Gilpin: ".May I be there to see." As it is illegal to fish on Sunday the Game and Fisheries Department should find no difficulty in making a conviction there. Probab^ the lady would even be willing to pay a hand- { some fine for the privilege of making shuch a record. Up here in Artemesia the Depart- ment simply confiscates the ladies' poles when they are found walking along the highway in disputed terri- tory. Artemesia Pioneer Dead The Passing of James Reid of Old Durham Road EDITORIAL NOTES We are told that there will be a small yield of peaches this year, and this is probably correct. The state- ment comes too late in the season to arouse a suspicion tht.. it may be propaganda. Our peaches will likely come high this year. That fall feeling is in the air. But then, we have had nothing but fall weather all summer, with the excep- tion of a couple of days when the ' ^ successful farmer, mercury reached 80 degrees. The Chatsworth weather prophet has been out all summer in his calcula- tions. Mr. Jas. Reid of the O. D. R. passed away Monday at the age of 84 years. He had only been bedfast a few days being stricken with paralysis. He was tenderly cared for by his daughter-in-law and the last week by his daughter, Mrs. Daley (Belle) of Philadelphia. Mr. Reid was born in the vicinity of Guelph and lived for a time in De- troit, moving from there with his wife and family to the farm, on which he died, about 35 years ago. His wife predeceased him five years ago. The deceased gentleman was a man well liked by everyone who knew him being a good neighbor and friend. In religion he was a Presbyter- ian and in politics a Liberal, and was He leaves to 15 Loads Of Wheat From Eight Acres IMPORTANT SEIZURE WHO WANTS HARVESTERS? The railways are sending out the us«al pathetic cry for men to save the western wheat crop. This .sav- ing is to be (lone at nominal expense of $35 for t-ach pas.seiiger carried to Winnipeg and back, and varied sums for points beyond. From all appearances and disinter- ested information sent out, it would seem that the western crop has quite enough men out there to save it with- out calling upon the chivalrous East. There is ju.st a danger that many who go out will find ditriculty in se- curing a certificate that they have worked on a farm for the required length of time, and will be cafled on to pay full fan- in order ot get a re- turn ticket. mourn "him, one son, William, on the homestead, two daughters, Mrs. Daley (Belle) and Mary now of Vancouver, also one brother, Wm.

One of the most extraordinary freaks seen in Carrick for some time is a white crow, which makes its headquarters in an orohard on the 2nd concession, opposite Harry Stew- art's residence. It is all white, ex- cept its head, which is brown. BOBBING IS SERIOUS A serious situation seems to be de- veloping in tonsorial circles. Since time immemorial Saturday has been sacred to the purpose of shaving and polishini: up the facial adornments of masculine patrons. As the day wax- ed to a close, the barber vtrould loftily decline to even trim a bald headed dome, let alone cut a heavy thatch â€" unless he wanted the money. But now everything is changingr- The gii Is are crowding in on Saturday and having their crowning glory trimmed to their taste in such num- hers that there is scarcely room to accommodate them all. In fact, two misses had made a tour of the shops about four on Saturday, but found their sisters in Eve filling all! the front e8ats,a nd the pros(^3cts of getting a "semi-shingle" were vague indeed. '"Well, I've simply got to have one; my hair's awful," said one to the other. We hope she got it, though we couldn't see anything "awful" about the picture she presented, i-tanding there/ The serious part of the situation is, of course, that if hair-bobbing crowds in too much on the Saturday night shaves, there will be a marked falling off in church attendance on the part of the men. â€" Meaford Mirror.

She was one of the few wrho passed the third form course in the last term. A little party of five motor- ed to Markdale, and Bertie I. V. Hawkins, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Hawkins, and Mr. Milton S. G. Roberts, only son of Mr. and the late Mrs. Samuel Roberts, were united in marriage by the Rev. Mr. Gray of that place. Thence they went to Owen Sound, where they had a look at some of the many interest- ing sights that are to be seen in our tidy little marine city. They then returned to the bride's home, "The Gables," where a dainty supper was served.
