 Mr.. Editor: Your first editorial. on closing highways to heavy trucks, in thls mornings issue is very interest ing and right in line with present day practice of passing the buck"
 What excuse have you or anyone else. to offer for closing a highway when less than half of one per cent. of the road fails? When within less than 150 feet of the failure the high way is sound and firm?
 Some 30 years ago the. writer was interested in the matter of lumber teams rutting and tearing up the roads. Among the "cures'' offered at that time was limiting the load to the width of tires, but nothing came of it and it was about as sensible as the present proposal to limit the load to be carried.
 The only sane conclusion regarding the limiting of loads to be carried by motor trucks or any other vehicle is that it is comfortable way to Feat crow"

 s'Never again" broke in Betty's mother. One of those impromptu, was the last day of school before the Christmas vacation. The kindergarten and primary were assembled on one side of the gym the mothers on the other, with an open circle between.
 There was no special program. The kindergarten teacher called the littlest ones into the circle to impersonate jumping jacks and walking dolls and tin soldiers and lame ducks. Then the primary girls in their bright hair bows got up in concert and sang some French songs."
