My abject ini quoting from thete let- ters is ta persuade some of my readers - and in particular mY Young readers - that it i8 far bet- ter to live a life which confers benefits on others than it 18 ta accumulate' money. The posses- sion of much maney and its.quest tends ta corrode one's finer nat- uire, and ta narrow one's sym- pathies with others of ordinary attainments and possessions. "HIe 18 a man who grows on you the more'you know him. You get ta love hlm ,when yau get down ta the bottom. He is a help, flot only in material things but also spirituaily. His method of living and his very thouglits are a wonderful- ex-. ample." This letter wgs written by a Young man ta his wife - a Young man much -and long away fram his home, being a public enter- tainer. .- % Here is an extract from a letter from a famous preacher who fli- ed a Toronto pulpit one summer, and who f6irmed a lasting friend- ship with the man of whom I arn writing: "Our fellowship an the twa o&casions we were in your home goes down as the finest touch of ail durlng aur trip ta Toronto." From a Young man came the letter from which the foilowing lu taken: "During our summer ta- gether I saw many traits in you that I amn earnestly trying ta. embody infa my awn -11e." Here are further tributes ta this exemplar and inspirer of men: From a Young doctor: "I don't think that I ever made a friend- ship that I regard with more sin- cerlty than fixe friendship I form- ed with yau. You were a real inspiration ta me.", And this frùm onother doctor who is also an-author: "You can- flot realize how much you have contributed ta the fullness of aur lives. Your influence in aur son's 111e has been greater than you suspect." And these further tnibutes: .'My wife and I agree that thxe letter which you, sent ta aur son is the best letter ta W boy which we have ever read"; and "Yau have help- Statistics of Canadian AutomobileIndustry The Canadian Automobile Cham- ber ai Commerce has recently issued a statement ai statistics sbawing f igures of the car jndustry f rom 1922 ta 1938. These reports include waxeJ earners. capfital, production. tire pro-' duction. gzasoline consumptspn, re- istratian. export and innumerable statements revealingz the trend ai the industry. Space does not permit details of each report, but thse iollawing =rnO prove ai interest: Salaries and wagzes ai 1938 as compared with 1937 show a de-rease ai $1-,139,629. but when comparéd with the succeedingz years ai 1929., the figures are nearly double. They have risen steadily since 1933. wben they were at their lowest point. Of capital invested in tise industry in 1937 and 1938. tisere is a dii fer- ence ai $1,802,008 for the latter vear. In tise carlier days ai 1923- 4-5 and upta 1930. tise capital was at a mucis higiser rate, r ingro $60,000,000 upta $90,00,0. How- ever. the apparent slump bas passed, and is naw igradualiy rising, $59798.- 250 beingz the amaunt invested ls year. The production ai cars in Can- ada last vear showed a slight de- creasé aver 1937. This miRht bave been due ta tise number ai cars be- ing imported. but on looksngz at the f igures we see that 3.822 more ed me ta do my work more thon any other friend I have." J cK Tise tarcgaîng are but speci- mens af the agreeoble things writ- ten ta my friend. Who would nat be happy if he gat similar letters. from those whose lives he hou touched ond with whomn he hou walked along life's highway? Let it be said that this mon s nature makes it easy for hlm ta befriend others as be has appor- tunity; yet I would point out that it is a cultivated nature. This mon, in bis boybaad 'kneW adver- sity. HIe lacked the advantages which most boys have - a gaod1 home, ond perbaps goad parents1 ond many caniforts. Yet this boyr, when 'le grew into yauth, set his,q course: it was towards thse sun and sunniness; be becamne a shed-i der of ligbt and warmth.j vehicles were imported in 1937 than in 1938. ýCars produced in Canadg ini 1938 were 166,086 while in 1937 there were 207,463. 1It is interestinz ta note the num- ber of cars that have been with- drawn f rom reRular use ip the last two vears. In 1937, 82,088 cars were withdrawn f rom the higzhway. while last vear only 49,151 vehicles became disused. In the registration report it shows that the number of cars registered is at its gzreatest heigzht since they were introduced an the market. The total number of cars registered in 1938 were 1,394,853 while in 1937 registrations totalled 1,319,702. an in- cFrease of 75,151. The greatest in- Creases occurred in the Yeats 1926, '27. '28 and '29. ranging f romn 108.- 789 ta 124.992. In 1929 the increases dropped to 43,557 and i rom 1931 ta '33 there were decreases. Since then thbe number has increased slowly. World reports are à1so given, Which s185w increases from forjner ears. The total number of vehicles ihuse at the end of 1938 in the en- tire world was 42,880,490. This in- çltides trucks and buses. .There is also reported the aniaunt af inonev that Canadian touris have~ suent ithse United States. In IP37 iurchases amounted ta $48,- 893,000, whi!ei 1938 there is- an .Iflrease.of $469,000. However. the taurist expenditure i Canada bv the Aniericans nijore than triples tisat ai ai Canadians in America. In 1937 '?rnerican tourists spent $181,332,000 Canadian markets. whiie Last year.. %e amount dropped ta $180.258.000.
