ErsG Cleveland BICYCLE nDuARCAT Canada is credited with having the largest bicycle trade organization in the whole of North America in the Canadian Bicycle Dealers‘ Association, Ontario Section. This organization is made up of many dealers throughout the Province of Ontario whose aim is to do all in their power to increase the advantages of cycling for all riders. The Toronto branch of this association won the highest honors last year in a competition among all dealers of the United States and Canada for the best "boosting‘" of cycling activities. Inciâ€" dently, the idea of holding a National Bceycle Week originated in â€" Canada. This is the fourth year for a "‘Bicycle Week!" in the Dominion while in the United States the wheelmen are hayâ€" ing their third annual bicycle week this spring. R. Offredi Opposite the Post Office N 50 M m t3 Usl t3 YA Rae Halliday, of Ottawa, is one of the most prominent sportsmen of the Canadian Capital, Halliday decided to buy a bicycle this year as a means to. health, exercise and utility.. He bought the best bicycle obtainable and is now an out and out bicycle enthuâ€" siast. The first thing that he discoyâ€" ered was thait he could cut the time required for his journey home from twentyâ€"five minutes to twelveâ€" minâ€" utes and he is now ablo to go home for a real lunch each noon with case. The street cars carried him through the busy section of the city and the cars were always crowded. With the bicycle, nhe has found a short cut along one of the Capital‘s famous driveways and he is able to enjoy ‘the scenery as well as the fresh air on his trips back and forth fout rimes each day. Halliday‘s one regret is that he did not decide to make use of a bicycle many years ago. One of the many indications that the bicycle is now classed in its propâ€" er plane is the fact that bicycle, racing is now a popular feature in many citâ€" ies of Canada. The riders are also much interested in bicycle runs and tours once more while the decorated wheel competition is another feature that is now seen in many cities. With war worries a thing of the past, many cities are planning to have bicycle racing and touring events and it is apparent that there will be more of the wheel sport this year than for many years. The wheeling activities are really taking their place among the big postâ€"war revivals of the sportâ€" ing world and many newspapers have already been devoting considerable space to the subject of bicycle outings and contests this year. 4 Vancouver, B. C., enjoyed the disâ€" tinction of staging the first bicycle races of the season when races were held at Brockton Point track in April as a benefit for returned soldiers. The next bicycle sport was scheduled to be held at Ottfawa, Ontario, where a big revival is in evidence. This consisted of a series of bicycle track and road races on Saturday, May 10. f Winnipeg, Manitoba, promises to hold a real picycle road race on May 24, while races are also scheduled for Toronto on the May holiday. Brantâ€" ford has planned ‘to hold a series of weekly twilight race meets throughâ€" out the season while Montreal enthuâ€" siasts also proposét to stage a number of events. lar. ~The world will never be ableâ€"to do without the reliable and inexpenâ€" sive bicyvce. - There was real competition . this year for the National Championships of the Canadian Wheelmen‘s Associaâ€" tion which were suspended for the duration of the war. London, Ontario,, has secured the National meet and it is promised that it will be so attracâ€" tive that many United States‘ riders will try their luck against the Canaâ€" dian speed specialists. The â€" titular meéeet will be held on July 1st Nothing has ever been discovéered to take the place of the bicycle. It is in a class by itself and it is probable that nothing will: ever be discovered to reâ€" place it. _ For general city use, for Dusiness purposes, for exercise, for outings ‘and for economy there â€" is n%ing that fits quite so easily as a bicycle.. Its value was proved quite a number of years ago but it is a truthâ€" ful statement that its worth has nevâ€" er before been admitted to such an extent as at present. War‘s demands had something to do with the. recogniâ€" tion accorded the simple bicycle and now that, the figthing days are over the wheel has become stillâ€"more popuâ€" Orillia, Ontario, Kingston, Windsor, Chatham, Woodstock and Brockville will also be the seene of bicycle races tihs year, according to present inforâ€" mation. Many cities of Canada will confine their atention to bicycle runs and parades, however, because of lack of facilities and experience for . the Staging of races. These outings will go a long way toward demonstrating the healthâ€"giving and practical uses of the silent twoâ€"wheeler. Other championship races are to be held at Ottawa probably in August, the C. W. A. having awarded a numâ€" ber of titular events to the Capital at its thirtyâ€"ninth annual meeting at Toâ€" ronto. t The "bicycle family" is qilite the vogue. In a) number of Canadian citâ€" ies there are many‘ families each member of which is a eyclist. A fathâ€" er or a son has started to use a wheel for business or other purposes with the result that other members of the family, have also quickly adefced, the bicycle.. "WThe sale off three, Aour and five bicycles to one family »was not infrequently reported during 1918. A man or a woman walks into a bicycle store and declares that it is the inâ€" tention to buy bicycles for cach memâ€" ber of his or her family./ Questions follow and it is found that the family has studied the subject of cycling through the use which has been, given to it by some relative or friend. The conclusion reached is that the bicycle Olympic trials for bicycle racing enâ€" thusiasts of Canada will be a feature of sporting events in a number of citâ€" ies throughout the coming. summer, according to announcements made by various officials in charge of the. biâ€" cycle sport. The next Olympic games are to be held in Antwerp, Belgium, and they will be held there in 1920. The Canadian team of athletes which will participate in the big meet will include a number of cyclists and it is the expectation that Canadian ‘riders will once more be able to hold their own in competition with the world‘s best.. Olympic Trials will be held in a number of cities and plans have alâ€" ready,been laid for the development and training of promising cyclists for the trip to Antwerp. These trials are to be held under the auspices of the, Canadian Wheelmen‘s Association. is just the thing for utility, health and pleasure. Asemsegis Bicycle Week Indications are that there is going to be con siderable activity in the building line this year, not only among farmers, but in the cities as well. The one feature which seems to have a tendency to make many hesitate is the idea that appears to have gained prevalence in many quarters that prices on lumber, as well as other building materials, are going to decline. This does not seem likely. It is a foregone conclusion that manufacturers, owing to the continued high cost of living expenses, cannot afford to even think of reducing wages, an d as long as they have to pay high prices for labor, lumber and other building materials cannot decline to any considerable degree. A tendency on the part of business men to hold. back new enterprises, in j expectation of lower commodity prices and wages, is a mistake, in the opinion p f of Joseph E. Otis, Viceâ€"President and acting head of the Central Trust Comâ€" pany of Illinois. t "If we were all to hold back, awaiting lower prices, we should produce _ | 4 conditions of a sort that would benefit no one. It is the duty of business to a s go ahead and seize the opportunities now awaiting. If a manufacturer were ‘ to defer building needed additions to his plant, in hope of securing a lower ./ construction cost at some indefinite time in the future, he probably would ; lose more profits on goods which he might have been producing and selling ~2] j | in the meantime that he will save on cheaper construction costs." j uy The same logic applies to any one wishing to build a home. Indications are that it will take . from three to five years for prices to reâ€"adjust themselves, and anyone wishing or needing a home or, other building will make a wise step by having their plans drawn and contract let NOW. They will enjoy its comforts and profit in their investment during the time the others are hesitating and facing the uncertainty of the future. ‘Yay ( 4 j ~_â€"_â€" GANADA LumBER Co. LImMITED C.
