 Pleasing excursions can be made in every direction. The lofty peaks and densely wooded uplands, the Housatonic river winding through the valley serve to give variety. To the west can be seen Mount Everett rising majestically 270O fit. above sea level.
 A short distance from the village is Canaan mountain, the Indian name being Wangum. The view from the top of the mountain must be seen to be appreciated. On a clear day Monument Mountain and Greylock can be seen.
 Lake Wangum is situated on the extreme top of the mountain. A stone building known as "The Lodge" was erected here by the Hon. Robbins Battell of Norfolk.

Nothing Doing

I read in your paper a request for an Essay on Home affairs. It is an old saying that it is the easiest thing in the world to find fault, that may be true, but as 1 observe affairs in general in the village of Canaan so far at least as anything in the line of Villge Improvements is con- cerned the fault finders have become tired, and given up in despair.
 Several years ago l had the honor to be elected president of the Village Improvement Society. The Society was very prosperous for time, new walks, shade trees, street lights and many other improvements were made of course this was all voluntary work. Later came the demand for sewers and electric lights. This led to the organization of the Fire Dis trict and the laying of tax, conse- quently the Village Improvement Society went out of business with the result that aside from the sewer and electric lights little has been done in the way of village improve ments.

Neither Dole nor his companion were hurt but the car was smahsed up very badly. Frank lin Adam was sitting on the bench near the flaEman's shanty waiting for the train to pass and when he saw the Dole car approaching he leaped over the iron railing and landed several feet below and thus escaped being hit by the automobile.
 Early Monday evening as Arthur Ostrander Jr. of Salisbury was riding a bicycle down Smith Hill a Ford car struck his rear wheel and knocked him from his bicycle with such force as to inf1ict a cut about one and three quarters inches long on his chin and a severe confusion to his left arm. The car proceeded without stopping and assisting the young man, and John Dover picked up and brought him to Dr. Lees office where his cuts and bruises were attended to. The number of the car has at last been found out and the authorities are Investigating. .

goes-but Canaan does not go nearly far enough. Canaan has the facill- ties, the opportunities, and the aolll- ties for great and general improve ment-in business, in town manage ment, in Identification, and in ser vicabilty-but all are obstructed and rendered practically useless by three main factors, as 1 see 1t, which are: first, a fundamental lack of a general spirit of cooperation, and of any source of united interest on the part of the townspeople; second, a gen eral stubborn antipathy to being disturbed in any way on the part ot the self-appointed rulers of the town; and, lastly, and, in my mind, most important, a Hateful negligence on the part of those fitted naturally or financially to spend their energies in formulating and nursing into existance those enterprises which would offer incentive and opportun- ity for advancement on the part ot others, and hence of the town as whole.
 At present, all must admit, there is no opportunity of any value m Canaan for young man Just start ing out in business. It has been thls way ever since the present business men were themselves young, ana will be so until they pass on. In Canaan, Death is the only provlder of positions, and events have so cCme to pass that several generations ot young men have been forced to leave town to earn any kind of a livelihood. Those who have stayed on, have done so from force of habit.
 What Canaan needs is new and varied industries which will afford more business opportupities these, in turn, VII bring to the town the wealth, the buildings, both pubic and private, and the prestige, which are the only remedies for her ail- ments.
 To remedy the present evils, and to guard agains5 the future, more encouragement and support should be given to those young Canaanltes who are willing to remain in town and devote their energies to proving that great gOod JAIN come ouI oA Canaan,-as it used to do in the earlier days when all of the inhabi- tants worked unitedly for the benefit of the town as a whole, thus laying so solidly the foundations of\ the Canaan of to-day. "But how can a young man amount to anything in a small town?" is asked. There is but one. answer; "Make Canaan big enough, in all ways, to have big men, and the big men and the attendant benefits will follow". .. Let us have a Canaan that is bigger in every sense of the word, and that is true to the traditions ofythe Past!

District meetings have been made to get an appropriation for repairing sidewalks and trimming shade trees nothing doing. There are places in the concrete walks that are bad, decidedly bad, and dangerous for ; travellers, West Main Street and Divinity Hill are full of holes and humps. Railroad Street and Church ] Street-nothing doing. Bragg Street shwos improvement with a new side walk in the making. This street with it's fine young shade trees and shrub bbery is one of the best in town, East Main fairly good, they walk on Mother Earth, much preferable to the old rotten concrete on West Main. Herriman Hill, native soil good. They have automobiles or cross over on the swing bridge.
 Every year the Fire District gets an appropriation from the State, being a refund of Bank and Insur- ance Taxes paid to the State by the owners of Bank and Insurance Stocks. This years refund is laying idle in the Treasury. Is there life or civic pride enough to take some of this money and fix up the bad places and cut the dead wood out of the shade trees.
 Referring to town affairs the writer-in last weeks News has some very good suggestions, but criticisms of the general condition and man. agement of town affairs appear t3 an old conservative like myself little too severe. I have been more or less conversant with out town affairs for the last 50 years. We often hear the remark ''times have changed". Very tr7e, the tendency in present day affairs IS eXcrava- gance. There are as good mep in town affairs as ever, and this town in general is on a par with adjoin-, ing towns, our railroad debt origin ally $34,OOO now $12,0O0, our float ing debt has been made for improve ments in the way of better roads and schools. In 1881 our schools cost net S1,O45.O2 in 1921 $17,2O6.33 net. Our town has steady and contin- uous growth. Even in these days of turmoil and strikes one of the finest buildings in this part of the state is going up. Surely Something Doing. J. B. Reed

"What is the Matter with my Home ?"-My sincere answer to that question is that there is nothing more the matter with my home town than there is in any town of it's size and as a matter of fact think that it is a great deal better than most towns. 1t has a great many things which most towns of it's size does not have. It has good churches, exceptional ministers in all of them, the very best schools, fine public playground, doctors brighter and better men than most any community for a great many miles around, an efficient district nurse, garages galore, stores where you can purchase anything just as good and as cheap as in the city, good barbers, dentist, vetinary, a clean pool room, good markets, good roads, electric power and lights, good sewer system, a fine new theater and motion picture house, bowling alleys, best railroad facili- ties, most wonderful lime industries, two good jitney routes ;, an affaole state policeman and state police barracks, the very best amateur baseball team in the county or ad- joining counties, capable and court eous town officers, most success full National Bank, sound and sub stantial Savings Bank, the best equipped, managed and capable Fire company and house, a newspaper which would do credit to a metro polls, (especially under the present editor), wonderful public spirit when properly appealed to, and a safe normal Republican majority of better than two hundred. Pray what more would you ask for to make an ideal town of 200 or 25OO inhabi- tants? Of course we ought to have a new town hall which would be a

little cleaner and more sanitary than the present structure, with better vault, lookup and town officers / rooms; we ought to have a hotel where transients could get a clean room and bed without purchasing the building, we ought to have an up to date clean restaurant, we ought to haev new top dressing on Main and Railroad Streest, we ought to have a Town Manager, a regular high school suitable to pre- pare our boys for college, a trade school, larger and better located library, some more and some new sidewalks, and last but not least many comfortable, up to date, modernly equipped tenement houses or rents. The general feeling among my ,townspeople toward each other is probably as good as it is in any community of it's size, but at times I do wish that we had fewer people whose very existence seems to be bounded west by the Housa- tonic River, north by the Massachu- setts line, east by Norfolk town line and south by the Camp Ground, or in other words too many people in my town seem to be so deeply rooted down here that they know nothing of the outside world, and who as result of having shut themselves within this small town, are gradually becoming smaller and narrower in their views and ideas. We are just a little too willing to criticize the work attempted by some other party when as a matter of fact were we on the Committee to look after that same work we would very willingly sit back and let George do it and then kick George for doing it. When ever I hear anyone offering mean and sarcastic slurs on what someone else is doing I like to stop and take little inventory of just how much that individual has ever done for his fellow man or town while serving on a committee or otherwise. 1 will gamble you that that party, is the fellow who will sh up just about as everyone is re, Ay to sit down and eat and was never present working or rendering assistance when the tah'es were built, or SCI or the food co.

 think that something ought to he 9cl for our young people both in the way of some industry to keep them within our home town and also something to safeguard their morals. I believe that the dances both in the Town Hall and outside az the Com munity Grounds are a wonderful thing and ought to be encouraged but do think that 1t would be well to invoke the curfew law and com pei, with force if needs be, our young people to be off the stree=s one hour after the close of eacl dance. If anyone should witness what takes place each evening during the dances and after a dance near the. dog wagon or raIlronj station 1 think that some mothers would not s:tcp as much or as well as they evidently are doing.
