SLAUGHTER BEACH

Saturday afternoon when 24-hour
electric curren service went in OPP
Grafton. Old residents of this resort
never thought that such thing
would be possible, those of later
date thought it would happen some
/ time but the present population have
seen the thing happen and it is q
fact that we accept things as if they
should be. SO this happening went
unheralded except for the comment
OF how nice it was to be able to en-
Joy the convenienees the current af-
fords. w. w. Houseman, of Ellen
dale, has the work in charge, and
after several discouraging setbacks,
undaunted, he has seen the thing
through. We shall thank Mr.. House
man henceforth for making the
dream come true.

changing. But most of the cottages

made a picture for artists, but even
the layman could appreciate it.
