• The kind of going that makes heavy weather for ordinary tires is "pie" for Goodyear Studded Tires. They bite in and keep you moving -- under control every second. You waste no time -- or gas and oil--in wheel spins, slips and skids. Goodyear Studded Tires are designed, built and proven for off-the-pavement driving and to defy deep snow. Farmers, salesmen, postmen -- all who travel muddy roads need them. To the country doctor they are well-nigh indispensable. Smooth-riding Goodyear Studded Tires give a new sense of driving security to every off-the-pavement driver. See them at your Goodyear dealer's--at the same low price as Goodyear All-Weather Treads. enrolment of 115 at the High School everybody was present. "~vy of this week, except .Wick Muskett. 'There. is in the Coliborne High School Library the complete " Hansard for the year 1917, six bound volumes in all, covering the proceedings of the last session of the Parliament of Canada which elected in 1§11, with Sir Robert Borden, latedy deceased, as Premier, Sir Thomas White as Minister of Finance. Mr. Arthur Meighen, later Premier and now Leader of the Senate was then.Solicitor General. The members for Northumberland were at that time, for the East Riding, Henry Joseph Walker, and for the West Riding, Charles A. Munson. The House met on January 18th of that year, adjourned on February il7th, in order to permit Sir Robert Borden and members of his Cabinet to proceed to London to take part in the Imperial War Conference, reconvened on April 19th, and continued in session until September 20th. The shadow of the War hung over all the deliberations of Parliament that year. The older generation among us can recall that during 1917 there was im|uch to discourage the a'lies in the conduct of the 'war. But one of the cheering incidents in much that was gloomy was the reference in the House on April 19th to the recent entry into the wair, of the United States, "the weight of whose moral acton alone, will be" in the words of "Sir Wilfrid Laurier, "a decisive factor in favor of victory," for Sir George Foster acting Premier had just said " we do not know when this war shall cease lengthening out h conception, the thought of all men who have thought about it and' its possible time of conclusion. Three months--six months we said, nine months, a year, we said and yet two years and eight months have passed their long dreary sanguinary length and there is no man can tell how long this gigantic struggle may yet last.

The eloquent statesmen were right in their prophecies of ultimate victory. They were spared the knowledge that that victory would not 'be aciheved until war had worked its weary length along for another eighteen months, and There were naturally important and difficult problems to be solved, problems, mostly, raised by the war, problems whose solution was rendered more acute by war.

Tern times were frayed, as for example, My Honourable friend r more information that is untrue t.Van any man in the House' 'JThat is not correct. The Honourable gentleman himself has enough intelligence not to believe what he is saying." But on the whole debates were maintained at a high standard of excellence. In the speeches of many distinguished members of Parliament in that historic session occur passages cf real eloquence. But while on all the questions referred to above there were honest differences of opinion expressed, dif-frences of opinion that were fundamentally irreconcilable, it is worthy of note that, in the supreme task that lay before the Parliament of 1917 there was complete agreement. Thi was a unitetd determination to a ieve as speedily curable and lasting peace. HALDIMAND COUNCIL Centreton, Sept. 30, 1937 Council met this day. Memlbers all present; Reeve J. A.

"We Who Are About to Die ---Salute You !" That was the greetng the gladiators of old gave to the Roman Emperor before they pershed in the arena. But we are not gladiafors and we are not going into battle. We have no hate for anvone. We are not sick of life. We do not wish to die. But we will, bv the hundreds. We are the people who are going to die In fatal motor accidents dur-iny the years 1937 and 1938. Most of us have not even a premonition of the fate wtiich awaits us. We do not realize that Death lurks around the corner. We have not seen his shadow nor heard his footsteps. But Death awaits. Waits around the bend in the next car faltering brakes, in tl of some chance driver who "iockev" in a line of traffic or swlsfl past another car on a curve or hill. In the street, on the onen highway. ] what matter where? Death waits and does not announce his coming. We are marked down to die. The great god called Statistics has writ-j fen down our naimes in his big book and by actuarial laws we are doomed. Wo do not know it. but Death is coming. Some of us are little children. Our death® will be more horirble. more tragic, than others. But die we will. Parents, teachers and professional life-savers with all their warnings will avail us not. marked down. We are careless now. We do not take thought. Have you never been child? Do you know what it is to be a stranger to responsibility to depend on others for care, for shelter, for protection? Yes, protection. That is one of the things the child is taught to expect from his elders; something in a cruel and reckless age he does not receive. Our deaths will be more tragic because more cruel than all the others. You can see the headlines: "FIVE CHILDREN KILLED IN SAFETY ZONE," "TOTS RUN OVER ON WAY FBIOM SCHOOL." You will Tead these headlines many times over in the next year. BUT WILL YOU READ THEM?
