It replaces one which has been carried for many years and now worn out. a "There's a Church in the Valley in the Wildwood No Lovelier Spot in the Vale" Do the words of the old song about "The Little Brown Church in the Vale" bring back memories to you? Do you remember the old church in the old home town? the friends who gathered there? the happy times-the sad times-but always the friendly tim~s among the folks at home? There is a friendly church for you in · your new home town. Why not come next Sunday and make the new contacts which will mean so much to you and your children in the years to come?

Information reaches us that over there an 'Order of the Roads' is being formed. To receive the decoration accorded hy thi s new order, one must have driven 10.000 miles within three vears without accident or arrest for traffic :iolation. "So111e time ago the motor club asked for letters from motorists who had driven ~0.000 miles or more without an accident. and received hundreds of letters from motorists who had dri\·en ten. twenty, fifty, and even a hundred thousand miles without an accident of anv kind. The volume of letters_ that poured into the club in response to this request shows that motorists have a great amount of pride in being able to drive without even having a scrat<;hed fender. The larS?e numher of those who had driven g-reat distances without accident of anv kind indicates that the old desire ·to be known as a soeed artist. which \\·as manifested in the earlv davs of motoring-, ha'3 heen supplanted bv the de~ire to be known as a J;mod driver. and (11: . a motorist who never has accidents," declares Mr. Hayes.
