Walk on the LEFT of country roads : Face the Traffic This rule is important at all times, but especially so at dusk and at night. At such times, no matter how careful the driver of a car is, he may not see you until he is very near to you and it may be impos- sible for him to stop in time to avoid inflicting serious injury. Should he swerve to avoid hitting you, though you may escape injury others may be hurt. Of the 524 fatalities on the highways of Ontario last year a large number were caused by persons walking with rather than against traffic. Why take a chance?

Gamey Hill at Devil's To Be Reduced To Grade The county road system between Collingwood and Singhampton is to be further improved by the reduction of the grade at the Gamey Hill, east if the Devil's Glen, on the Singhamp- ton sideroad. The present road is to be abandoned and a new cut mail" straight 'from the road around the glen. This has been un- der consideration for a couple of years and has been the idea of Chair- man . Scott of the County Road Com- mission with the concurrence of Mr. J. E. Jamieson. M.P.P. Now iJhe contract has been awarded but not before the County RUoad Committee ind given much time to the considera- tion of the ways and means of financ- ing in order that local labor might be employed. In this connection tend- ers were reeeivud from a number of contractors, -some twelve in all, hut unfortunately the difference between the tenders for local labor and that for machine work was so great a financial spread that th former could not be entertained by the committee in charge. Tho lowest tenderer to whom the contract was awarded was the King Construction Co., for $4.240, while tilie lowost tender for the job by local labor was that of the Holcrofl Co. for Rfi.l 18. Bulletin. tainment that has not been entirely obliterated by modernism. It has been a stern struggle to survive, it is 'rue, and many township agricultural societies, the name under which such iratherings were conducted, struggled ilong under deficits lor a few years and then grave up the ghost. It could not withstand the competition ,'vom the b:.,'ger fairs and exhibitions. Here and there, however, the township fair has held its own and defied exterm- ination at the hands of its larger brethren. In such eases it was for- tunate in being in control of public spirited men of vision and energy, who took keen pride in upholding' the traditions of the past. Fall fairs per- r orm a useful service to the commun- ity, as we have pointed out on previous oci-asions. They brighten and enrich rural life, and bring: to the country people a lay or two of needed relax- ation and entertainment. They have become a part of rural life, at institution carried on from generation to generation. It would indeed be a misfortune to see them disappear. Priceville Fair Sept. 11 Priecville .(all fair has Keen advanc- ed to an earlier date this year and will be held on Friday of next week, eptember llth. Heretofore the dir- ectors have run into rain for their fair day and it is hoped that fortun t in .the shape of fine weather, will smile on the gathering this year, ie Priceville fair is always a good one, there- is plenty of live stock and the hall is always filled with roots, vegetables, domestic science, ladies' work, etc. Make an effort to attetul 'be Priceville this vear. WHAT ABOUT FALL FAIRS? One by one the services and amuse- ments of the past generation are ris- appearinir. The 24th of May celebra- tions with their military parades and dozens of brass bands, the travelling theatrical companies that stayed In town for three days a week, the husk- ing bees and spelling matches in the rural sections all th^flp are gone. The fall fair has been about the only thing on the list of old-time cnter- ADD1T1ONAL LOCALS The annual harvest Thanksgiving services will he hekl in St. Mary's Anglican Ohutvh, Maxwell, on Sunday Sept. l.'Hh, at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., when the sermons, hymns and nnisir will be appropriate for the day.

The traffic officer at Walkerton, who claims that he was kidnapped and for;x;d to drive a car over a por- ton of Western Ontario at the point of a revolver, has been suspended" pending an official investigation. The question to be settled is was he a coward? Are bank managers and the whole staff cowards when they back into the vault when told to do so at the point of a revolver? Self pre- servation is still the first law oi nature. Pembroke Standard. TWIN CUCUMBERS Mr. Wm. G. Allen showed The Banner a novelty in the vegetable line on Saturday night. The exhibit, which was grown in Mr. Allen's gar- Jen, was in the form of a twin cu- mmber, or. to be more explicit, two .ucumbers that had grown so closely side by side that they were joined together from stem to stem. Mr. Allen also has two ears of corn that arc .joined in somewhat th_> dame fashion, although in this case the anion does not extend for the entire length of the two ears. Orangeville Banner.
