“About this time. expect 
snow” says the Farmers’ Alma- 
nac. December started in as 
Robert B. Thomas intended it 
should, the Snow King making 
his first appearance of the winter 
Sunday. Dust off your sleighs 
and get out your sleigh bells, you 
may be called upon to use them 
almost any day now. 
The compilers of the Massa- 
chusetts Year Book for 1907 are 
evidently very much askew on 
some of the data compiled. For 
instance under Manchester the 
names of the “villages” are given 
thus: Manchester, West Man- 
chester, Crescent Beach, Mag- 
nolia station and North Yar- 
mouth. How often do we hear 
-Manchester Cove designated 
Magnolia station, or Kettle Cove 
as Crescent Beach? North Yar- 
mouth, too, is very little known 
as a village now compared to 
what it was fifteen years ago when 
_ there was quite a number of fam- 
ilies living there.

TIMES 
while the good 
roads movement is making satis- 
factory headway in America, 
there is another movement. that 
might join hands withit, France 
has set a good example. Not 
only are the French improving 
their roads, but they are planting 
trees alongside, thus inaugurat- 
ing a scheme of reforestation. 
Without shade, country roads 
must be barren of pleasure, and 
to have shade one must have 
trees. Such a movementis well 
worth emulating, and it would be 
well that on each Arbor day the — 
school children were encouraged 
to plant trees along the roadsides. 
Thus will the observation of the 
day in this manner prove of value 
to coming generations.” 
This isa very good suggestion. 
On the North Shore, however, 
we are very fortunate in having 
our streets lined with beautiful 
shade trees. Not all places are 
thus blessed. There is hardly a 
street in Manchester, Beverly 
Farms or Magnolia, but what has 
- beautiful Jarge elms, maples, e€tc., 
lining its sides. It is one of our 
best assets. But the idea of en- 
couraging the school children to 
plant trees, thus encouraging in 
a way the scheme of reforestation, 
which is now attracting national 
attention, should be carried out. 
Nothing of this kind is now being 
done in Manchester and -Arbor 
Day (in April) passes practically 
unobserved.

do with it, but he may improve it, and 
build a summer cottage.
