DAFFODIL DAY AT LAWRENCE.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir. —Spring is a shy bird, and never comes too soon is an axiom widely, cherished in this part of the hemisphere. Hence (to use your own quotation) “ a host of golden daffodils . . . fluttering and dancing in the breeze ” delighted the eyes of a thousand visitors. Your reference to the fares charged and the dust created by the buses seems to be the one “ fly in the ointment.” As my buses were the only ones operating, your remarks are taken as a direct charge against myself. Evidently you overlooked the fact that I had a special permit to run my buses, and the charge was approved by the licensing authority. Business consistency is always deemed essential to commercial enterprise, and it would savour of ingratitude for me to enter a protest against, say, the price of your paper. Therein lies the moral. Why,; then, devote eighty to a report, of Daffodil Day, thirteen lines of which are set aside as a criticism of the bus services? “ The brand of Cain ” at once becomes paramount in your report, the compiler of which was no doubt smarting under some undue resentment.—l am, etc., Edward Hart, Proprietor Lawrence-Milton Bus Service.
