LINGLECM It all happened something like this â€"-Recently, I visited my favourite bar- bershop, to be more correct, I called upon the barber of my choice. It happened my tonsorial friend was busy and not free at the moment to give attention to my requirements. I acâ€" cepted the inevitable and Waited sitt- ing in a chair trying to read an anci- ent magazine, the periodical slipped from my hands and I found myself looking at the floor, the covering of which was worn and patchedâ€"and so it happened I fell to pondering- the matter of linoleum in general. Perhaps the most censpicuous feat- ure of the domestic establishment is linoleum. It is important, self-asâ€" sertive, and loud. If you visit a house in which there is linoleum, the thing rushes at you, and you see it even be- fore the front door is openedâ€"perhaps it is this immodisty on its part that prevents our liking itâ€"it is always with the coy, shy, modest things that We fall in love most readily. EYES and EARS ? But we cannot let the matter rest at that. There must be some reason for the failure of the linoleum to stir our affections. Other household goods kindle our souls with warmth and af- fection, such as the old arm chair, the mantle clock, pictures, the dainty tea cups, and our cosy beds. HOWever, the linoleum is both pretty and useful; What more can we want? Many things pretty but not useful have sWept us off our feet. Again, many things useful but not pretty have captivated our hearts. Yet here is linoleum both pretty and useful, and we feel for it no fondness whatsoever. Why is it? Maybe the pattern has something to do With our adversion. I mean all the linoleum patterns that are design- ed. Those endless squares and circles, and diamonds, and starsâ€"â€"could any- thing be more repelling than the stars we find? I mean the linoleum stars. They are all in perfectly straight lines not one a quarter of an inch out of place, all mathematically equidistants; all exactly the same size; identically the same colour, and their angles all pointing in precisely the same direct- ionâ€"If the stars of the heavens above were arranged on the same principle, they would drive us crazy. The beau- ty of it is that there one star differeth from another star in gloryâ€"But on linoleum they do nothing of the kind. Sometimes the pattern is floral, coaxing us to think We are in a gardâ€" enâ€"whoever saw roses or Chrysanth- enums all exactly the same size, of precisely the same Eolour or hanging in rows mathematically correct. No two are the same, and it is this infinâ€" ite diversity that is the essential charm of a garden. In days gone by, folks plastered the walls of even sick rooms with papers of patterns so pronounced, and many a poor patient was tortured to death by the glaring geometrical abominatingâ€" The doctors would say that the pati- ent was to be kept quiet; yet the pattâ€" ern on the wall was permitted to scream and shout at him from morn- ing until night, and all through the long night. How often the poor suffâ€"A erers counted those awful roses and stars; perpendicularly, horizontally, and diagonally; until the hideous monstrosities were reproduced and Worthy of the Inquisition. Even worse of his brain. He might close his eyes, but he would see them still. Surely this was a form of torture lovableness of irregularity. Linol- than the linoleum because when he was sick he did not see it, and when well it was possible to avoid it. For some reason we instinctively recoil from such monotonous regular- ities. There is such a thing as the lovableliness of irregularity. Linol- eum is cold, and we do not fall in love with cold things. A volcano maybe much more dangerous than an iceberg; better the things that make us shudd- er, than the things that make us shivâ€" erâ€"warmth and love are not suggest- ed by the monotony and frigidity of Richmond Hill GAL NINE l [1 Your medicine is helping Maiâ€" colm, I’h so delighted as he 0 felt so poorly so long.

There are folks just like linoleum, they leave us cold, they are always correct, they are always on time, they are ever faultlessly attired.

WOODBRIDGE TESTON ilRepair of Sixth Concession 1 Probably Wili Cost Less 7 1 Than Esti£n_ate of $10,000 Figure Now Placed at $7,800. Roadway In Unionville‘l 1 Will Be Patched This Week. ‘ The sixth concession which has long been a worry to the Markham town- ship council and equally as much a worry to motorists who are very fam- iliar with the experience of the game of “dodgem” when driving over the road and trying to miss the holes, has been patched. At the August meet- ing of the township council it was de- cided to expend up to ten thousand dollars on the repair of the road and since that time workmen have been busy making more smooth the path of the hustling motorists. It looks as if the job will be accomplished at a fig- ure something less than the ten thous- ;and mark. At the regular meeting of the townâ€" ship council held at Unionville on Tuesday afternoon, engineer Babcock reported the progress of the work. So far $2,100 has been spent in patching and the drainage Will cost in the neig- hbourhood of 31200. An estimated expenditure of $4,500. for surface treating with tar and grit will bring the total to $7,800. The job appears quite satisfactory in every respect and members expressed satisfaction with what has been done so far. There was a question raised as to the advisability of the patching done on the face of the hill which was a Every bad stretch and the rebuilding of this portion was considered at the previous meeting. At the last meet- ing engineer Babcock estimated the patching of the hill at about $1500. The majority of the members then felt that such an outlay for patching was: beyond the realm of good business and} that it would pay better to rebuild the} section of road. It was agreed that1 when the section was scarified that the council should meet and decide what would be done with it. Councillor Clark questioned the action of going ahead with the work without consult- ing the council as called for in the re- solution. However engineer Babcock explained that it was his impression that the matter was left to him and when the work was commencedxhe found conditions much better than ex- pected and they were able to make what he considered a satisfactory job of patching the hill for about $400. The engineer’s explanation was satis- factory to the members. The members asked why there had been the delay in fixing the road through Unionville. Brown and J. W. Perkins appeared before the coun- cil urging that some action be taken to improve conditions. "The road is in terrible shape” said Mr. Brown. ‘He told the experience of one mot- or party in passing through the vill- age. The car struck one of the bad holes and one occupant of the car hit the top with such force that he was unconscious for five minutes. All members of the council agreed that the present condition of the road was deplorable, but at the August meeting had made arrangements to have it fixed and thought it would have been done long before this date. Engineer Babcock explained that the village trustees had consulted with ‘him regarding the estimated expendi- ture to provide a.widened permanent roadway with curbs. If such a road were built the police village would have to assume the cost of the curbs and any extra width required over that which the township assumes. It is not likely that such work will be undertaken this year although the plan is undoubtedly the ultimate solu- tion to the roadway problem in Unionâ€" ville. The engineer stated the con- struction company was about ready to start in the village and that the patch- ing would be commenced not later than Thursday. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL,, ONTARIO. The weed inspectors reported re-l garding activities. They said manyl who promised faithfully to attend to‘ their own weed cutting had failed to do so and this was the reason there were still some bad spots throughout the township. Many however comâ€" plied with the inspectors’ requests and cut the weeds and in many cases town- ship men were employed to do the Work and such expense will be charged against the land in taxes. Wild Car- rot was mentioned as a particularly nasty weed which is making fast in- roads in the township. Itaker, charity $8.27; Wellan Lake Garage, repairs to fire truck $13.90; G. A. M.

ALLEN â€" GEE An interesting wedding was solem- nized in Trinity United Church, Toron- to, on Tuesday afternoon, September 2nd, 1930, at four o’clock when Sarah (Sadie) Margaret, only daughter of Mr. George Gee, of Richmond Hill, was married to Ernest Edward Allen, of Indio, California, only son of Mr. and Mrs. G.
