This defect has been practically the T Slot All * to give them by the oy Pistons, which are constructed as longer life, while thefour rings (instead of the usual three) and the scientifically designed piston, are now able to con- trol the oil flow in the proper channels. ' An "Full Pressure Lubrication ensures long life and freedom from bearing trouble. Oil is pumped to all bearings at all times. The business of grinding valves has been. an expensive nuis- ance to the motorist. In the days when the valves had to be ground after running eight or ten thousand miles the delay and cost were considerable items. With Alloy Valve Seat Inserts and Graphited Valve Guide Bushings the necessity for grinding valves has been practically eliminated. The present requirements with this pew equipment make grinding unnecessary until the car has run fifty thousand miles. The Automatic Clutch has been improved so that it can give a faster, smoother getaway. Its peculiar construction gives wonderful control in its contact with the driving disc. wheeling has been retained. This is a good feature when used in conjunction with Hydraulic Four-Wheel Brakes. The - brakes have been greatly improved with Centrifuse Brake Drums, Ap BY a careful welding of an inner lining of cast iron to the steel drum the heat dissipates much more quickly through the cast than it could through all steel, eliminating brake drum warpage. This will greatly lengthen the life of the brake linings. : ; Double Tapered Roller Steering Gear Bearings insure long life with the least possible effort in car control. This steef- ing gear is so constructed that after driving many thousands of miles, the gearing can be adjusted without cost of replacement. It used to be necessary. to lubricate spring shackles every five hundred miles. With the new Silent U Spring Shackles it is now only necessary to do this work after running two thousand five hundred miles. The equipment is always silent.' : Oilite discs inserted between the spring leaves eliminate squeaks and provide continuous lubrication. Silent U Shackles at one end with rubber cored shackles at the other eliminate adjust- ing and promote free shackle action for an utterly new type of easy riding, ~~ * ; aN There is something very attractive in the body of the Ply- mouth. You buy style, flair, fresh design, good looks, so that people will gaze admiringly and says: "That's a beauty." "Added to beauty is comfort. ' First the wide doors. Then the adjustable front seat. Next the whipcord upholstery which is elegant in appearance, and practically unwearable. Narrow pillars are 80 p that there is very little to obstruct the vision. The low set body, with its long stream lines, give less resistance to wind; and at the same time has increased the safety of the car. . The Garage L Of course Sweetman"s Garage will give you service. "They have lately installed a radiator repair service, and*give a special- ized motor tune-up service. This should give the motorist many more trouble-free miles for his dollar. Spark plugs, coils, and bulbs need not be burned out if properly cared for in this motor tune-up. The electrical system will be tested free, and we have a method of telling whether the rings and valves are 0.K. without taking off the head or pan. : : 3 There is also at the Sweetman Garage a modern machine for installing brake linings either mechanical or hydraulic. ; : Ten year's experience has brought to light many low cost, efficient methods of care and repair, and these ideas and money- savers are at the service of the Sweetman Garage customers.

It's natural for one great goaltender to feel thus for another. - We only have one more .game to play, and that with Green- bank, on Friday night of this week.

' Asked what advantages the tele- phone gives the farmer, Mr. Black said there where many. One recent case was noted, A farmer. had his telephone disconnected and the next ca | 2 the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert ne| Jackson, Scugog, a.reception was held in honour of the recent bride and On thé evening of February First, groom, Mr. and Mrs. James Loney youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, and the groom is the only son of the late James Chamberlain, of Toronto. Mr, and Mrs. Jackson are perfect entertainers and those who had the pleasure of gathering with their day lost more than the price of a] large circle of relatives and friends on whole 'year's service. A T to | this sion will long re ber their cattle buyer visited his farm and genial hospitality. offered a price per pound for beef. He made a sale and the next day found that h& had sold good beef cattle below market price, losing more than the price of a whole year's ser- vice. The farmer at once had his phone reconnected so that the next time he eould call his local market and check up on livestock quotations. The early part of the evening was spent in eiuchre. At eleven o'clock, the hostess, assisted by three sisters of the bride, Mrs. A. Dowson, Port Perry; Mrs. 8. Hope, Prince Albert; and Mrs, J. L. Sweetman, Scugog j "oried a delightful supper. The _A_ telephone is a ity in a home particularly at a time of a sudden sickness in the family, of an accident when a doctor must be sum- moned at once. Then, too, the women folk, young and old, find the telephone | very convenient to make plans regar- ing social or church events. When their tagks are finished for the day they dan also enjoy a visit over the phone with their neighbours. It is now fairly Tenerally agreed that the time for extreme pessimism, if there ever was excuse for it, is past. There are evidences of brighter days and when they come, the farmer, like any other business man, must be ready for them. He cannot afford to be without those conveniences which put him in a position to im- prove his opportunities as: they come. In this connection, one of our lead- ing farmers was discussing the other day thé value of the farm telephone and, said--"Few people think of the telephone as insurance, but that is just what it is--insurance against fire, agdinst sudden illness of both human beings and livestock; insur- ance against burglars, against costly breakdown of machinery in busy sea- sons, against accepting low prices from buyers of farm products when the market is running higher." These are only the more important insurance features of the farm tele- phone. ~ The day-by-day value of the service is impossible to estimate. One important call may outweigh in value to the farmer the cost of the service for a whole year. As a business man, the farmer, just like other business men, needs the telephone both for profit and protec- tion. Weighed in the balance against its value, in scores of ways, the-six cents a day the telephone costs him makes it about' the cheapest thing he buys. 3 SCUGOG The Girls' Institute meeting has been postponed until further notice, as Saturday is the Sunday School Convention at Port Perry. The Y. P. A. meeting was held last Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. 'and Mrs. Geo. Samells and was well attended. Miss Helen Carter was in charge. They have started to study the Book of Acts under the leadership of "Mrs. Geo., Sweetman. We are sure this will be interesting, and hope there will be a goodly num- ber out to these meetings. 'At the close Mr. Luzerne Sweetman took charge of a 'puzzle contest, and all were greatly amused. We are all very sorry to hear that t| Mrs, H.

Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain motored to Toronto, followed by the best wishes of all. Many suitable gifts were received by the bride. We join in wishing 'them a long and prosper- ous married life. | A farewell party was held at.the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Milner, as the friends and neighbours presented Mr. and Mrs. Dawson with a beauti- ful get of glassware. The following address was read: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Dawson: We were surprised to learn that the years, which have passed so quietly, since yoi first came to Scugog Island now number eighteen, Truly the poet said: "Time in advance behind him folds his wihgs." As you look far- ward to them, especially in youth, the years seem often to lag, but when they are gone, we can see, that they have really been flying swiftly. When you came here a young married couple, you brought with you only one little girl, Doreen. Now Doreen is 4 truly lovely young lady and you have quite a group of other boys and girls in your home, and ' especially, in considering this fine growing family, we feel that we sus- tain a real loss in your going away. The children of the community are its real treasures. It is our chief task to provide food,.shelter and training for our children and the future of the community dépends how well we per- form this duty. Are our children be- ing trained in the principles which lie at the foundations of right living? Are they taught obedience, honesty, and purity? Of course some will say that these are the duties of parents, t s and pr , but there is a wonderful power in friendship. There is nothing, as we look back up- on our lives that has shaped us and made us what we are to-day, so com- pletely as the friendships of our lives. We have the impressions, Mr. 'and Mrs. Dawson, that you are bringing up a family which will be a benefit to the society in which they grow up and we would like to have had you remain so that we might have enjoyed their society and had their help in the future enterprise of our community. f Just here let us congratulate you upon j the possession of this fine family which will surely.be a blessing to your lives and also thank you-for your co- operation in the past. Concerning this last, your immediate neighbours | can speak most emphatically. In farm , Ife there is always a great deal of "changing work" and "neighbouring" , and on all sueh"occasions "Mr. Daw- " son can't be beat," always willing and ready and they say "Earl is just like " ¥ 4 h | i We take advantage of this social evening to give you a small teken of | our esteem, hoping that it may bring to your remembrance your friends on Scugog.

A Summary of General News SINO-JAPANESE WAR China and Japan are both under the ban of Great Britain. London is acting alone to limit the war in the Far East. An em. bargo has been placed on the export of arms to both Japan and China. Canada joins Great Britain in this embargo. A TREMENDOUS SUIT FOR DAMAGES A suit for $220,000,000 damages has been erftered against Andrew W. Mellon, United States Ambassador to Great Britain, and former Secretary of the Treasury; together with two former officials of the International Revenue Bureau. The charge, which is laid by David W. Olson, claims that Mr. Mellon not only failed to collect $100,000,000 in delinquent taxes from foreign steamship interests, but placed the United States Government in such a position that it was compelled to refund some $10,000,000 to the companies. 3 BELIEVING ALL INTEREST IS USURY, WOMAN RETURNS CASH TO DOMINION Ottawa, Feb. 27.--If all holders of Canadian Bonds were of the same disposition as Mrs. J. J. Richardson of St. Catharines, Ont., the lot of the Minister of Finance would be much happier. Mrs. Richardson, in a letter dated February 23rd, not only an- nounced her refusal to accept any interest on her Government bonds, but returned to the department $82.50, being the amount she received over a period of fifteen years on a 51% per cent. Victory bond which was redeemed in 1932 for the face value $100. 'It is against my sense of justice to use money to make money, or to charge usury for money loaned to any person," Mrs, Richard- son wrote. 'This may seem a strange idea to you but that does not alter my convictions in the matter. There is such a thing The program in charge of Mrs. Whit- taker consisted of a paper on the Life of L. M. Montgomery by Miss Vera Forder, and a reading, "The Mis- sion of the Mite Box" by Mrs. Thos. Smith, A very interesting letter from Miss Laura Hambly, a missionary in China, was read by Mrs. A. L. Bailey. Lunch was served by the group in charge viz: Mesdames John Forder, Levi McGill, Leslie Graham, J. Me- Arthur, W. Barton.

Barton, Enniskillen and Hester Hilda, daugh of Mr. as 'celestial economics' which was practiced and believed in in the Middle Ages and taught by the Church." Mrs. Richardson cited Jesus, Aristotle, Plato, Moses, Plutarch, Ruskin and the Roman law as teachers of the principle that man- kind should not place accumulated wealth at interest. : "Usury has now come to mean iniquitous or illegally high interest," Mrs. Richardson wrote, "but formerly it meant interest of any kind on money. To take usury is contrary to Scripture and to the laws of nature, as it is to live without labor. It is to sell time which belongs to God and the present is all we are certain of, "Please war debt or people. use the enclosed cheque for $82.50 to help pay the in some Government fund for the use of Canadian If the majority of the people of Canada would follow my example, this depression in business would practically cease and the poor would not be such a care on others." _.. Mrs, Richardson declared that she would take the same action with respect to other Government bonds in her possession. and Mrs. H.
