So it is in life. Younger and trained members creep into the firm who are efficient and who find that a newer and improved system will decrease the payroll of the untrained and at the same time, the production will be greater. Local Training It is not necessary to step out of the neighbourhood to gain that knowledge and get that necessary training as the Foster Business College is fully equipâ€" ped and ready to do that service to the commuity. They have the facilities for the training of the pupil who prefers to step into the Commercial World rather than continue at school. Their training is of the best and the parent who desires to see his son or daughter advance and make their mark in the world, will do well to look into this educational institution where knowâ€" ledge may be had for the asking of questions. There is not a parent but who is desirous of seeing their sons and daughters make the best in life and whose ambition it is to see that they get at least an equal chance with the rest of the world when they step out into commercial life.. Opportunity knocks but once. Recovery of Canadian Dollar Has Marked Effect on Business in General The recent drop of the value of the American Dollar in Montreal is a disâ€" tinct indication that the prosperity in Canada is really true. It takes a lot to instil that idea after the great slump that has been in voguesince the end of the war. However, the fact that the Canadian Dollar returned to its preâ€"war value and then continued on the upward trend is sufficient to warâ€" rant the assertion that business has at last assumed its proper proportions and that we may hope for even better times. _ The coal situation has also brought about a change that will be felt generally and while a certain amount of money will be sent out of the country, it will be nothing in proâ€" portion to the amounts that have been sent over the line for the immense supâ€" plies of coal that has hitherto been shipped into this country. The only chance that any great amount will be extracted from the consumer will be in the event of a marked increase in the price of coal which will then deâ€" mand twice the usual amount for the same quantity. This will have the efâ€" fect of drawing off the same amount of money for less ordinary value. It will then be up to the consumer to see that every possible method of conâ€" serving our fuel supply in order that we may retain as much of the busiâ€" ness in this country as possible. Last year a large amount of money was paid across the line owing to the deâ€" preciation of the Canadian Dollar but now that we are back to normal times, we should reap the benefit of it. | BUSINESS SHOWS _ BIG IMPROVEMENT Children of the Church of the Good Shepherd Give Pleasure to Queen Mary Patients ‘This is the time of year when parâ€" ents will decide as to what they will give their children in order to fit them for future which rises before them. in order to best fit them for the comâ€" mercial world, as that is likely what they would choose, it would be wise to prepare them effeciently. This course is opened to all and a knowledge of shorthand and ‘ typewriting is invarâ€" iably required and which is generally specified in the Ad. for help wanted. Consider the young boy or girl that steps out into the world ready to batâ€" tle for an existance, and that is what it means if he or she is not prepared to meet the requirements and demands that will be made upon their ability to hold down a reasonably good position. If they are sent out practically uneduâ€" cated, it means that instead of getâ€" ting a straight line on business such as may be gained by having a shorthand, typewriting or bookâ€"keeping knowledge through which they would be able to worm into the business, thereby gainâ€" ing an insight and incidentally preâ€" paring themselves for something big; ger, they would otherwise have to plod along at the same old desk at the same old salary and merely become one of the cogs in the wheel. As time goes On_ _ Sunday the children of the Church of the Good Shepherd met at the Church with their gifts of flowers and fruit for the children of the Wesâ€" ton Sanitorium.. It wasâ€"an imposing sight and one to make people stop and think to see the children tripping along the road on their errand of love and kindness to the little shut in folks of the Queen Mary Building. Upon arâ€" riving at the grounds the children preâ€" sented their offerings, and the pleased expression on the faces of the inmates was indeed proof of the pleasure given them by the little act of kindness on the part of the visitors. Service then followed iin the pavilion. Rev. Canon Daniel, Anglican Chaplain of the Sanâ€" itorium and Rev. A. J. Arthur, Rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd, FLOWER SUNDAY â€"AT SMNTARIIN taking charge. The Church of the Good Shepherd Choir led. the singing and added to the impressiveness of the service. Before Entering the Commercial World a Thorough Training is Very Necessary BETTER PREPARE FDN THE NEXT STP 2 _2 _________ _ OS â€"â€"Anpnm â€"1eT wiEstor ONI.WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13TH, 1922 wWwEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY As there is an exception to: every rule, so is there an exception taken to this form of transportation regardâ€" less of the good results and general satisfaction that are derived. To arâ€" rive at this exception one just has to ride behind a Jitney on any of the trips that are made. In the first inâ€" stance their speed under ordinary conâ€" ditions is well within the law although at rush hours they travel the limit and as the Police Court records will show, they have a tendency to go beyond ocâ€" casionally. . But the great handicap occurs when a motorist is driving imâ€" mediately behind these â€"Jitneys. . It does not matter whether the Jitney is going down hill, up hill or on the level, if he sees a passenger desirous of, a lift, he stops dead. What happens? The motorist is not looking for passengers, he is driving along and minding his own business, wholly unaware of the fact that the car ahead is a Jitney. A sudden grinding of brakes and perhaps a skid is what happens to the car folâ€" lowing because he saw the car ahead suddenly loom up in front of him and without any warning. "That is why exâ€" ception is taken to the Jitneys. If the driver would only indicate to the traâ€" velling motorist that he is going to stop, then the existance of the Jitney in the motor world would be lost and they would become on a par with all other motor traffic and also the danâ€" ger that lurks through this sudden stopping would be eliminated. Every motorist has had the experience and the reason that expression has been given is owing to the fact that someâ€" one has met another motorist and his first greeting amounted to a narrow escape that he has just had through this uninformed stopping of a Jitney. No sooner does he finish recounting his narrative than the other fellow folâ€" lows with a similar tale and ultimately they both condemn that particular Jitâ€" ney driver and the whole system, hence the ill feeling that is created takes root and now it is blossoming. Undoubtedâ€" ly all Jitney drivers are not the same but it behooves others to use a little common grey matter and think of what might happen if it was necessary to stop suddenly and no indication was given to the man behind. the road and now that a great many people are buying cars, it necessarily follows that all drivers are not thorâ€" oughly, seasoned drivers and there is danger with the approach .of every car. In the first lesson that a new car owner gets, or at least it used to be, the beginner is told to regard the other fellow as an idiot and incapable of handling a car. That naturally inâ€" stills in the new driver the fact that he is regarded in the same manner and must needs adopt sane methods while on the road.. Then there is courtesy on the road. A great many drivers proceeding along the road at night time will dim their lights, and then again there are a great many who will not do so. It surely is becoming to any person to measure up to what the other fellow regards you as when he dims his lights, be reciprocating to that exâ€" tent. A turn of the switch and it is done, but as an eminent physician said at one time, that if Salts were a dolâ€" lar a pound there would be more takâ€" en, and it is just the same in this Case, if one had to stop their car, get out, put the jack under the back axle and raise the car to ‘dim theâ€"lights, then there would be a lot more.of it done. However, motorists and motors will keep on going and will also keep on learning so that perhapsâ€" in the near future some drastic action will be takâ€" Do you remember the time when you got up late and hurriedly dressed and then raided the dining room for a rush breakfast and then | scalding your mowuth with your morning stimuâ€" lant of hot coffee and then rushing out for the trolley that ran every half hour and later on every twenty minâ€" utes, only te see it rounding the cornâ€" er which indicated that you were just thirty seconds late. Then the motor car came into being which prompted some enterprising individuals to start the present day Jitney system. It meant that you could take that extra snooze, dress ordinarily, eat your breakfast sensibly and enjoy your cofâ€" fee, because you knew that a Jitney would shortly come along and speed you to your destination for the nominâ€" al fare of a "Jitney." They were a service to humanity from the standâ€" point of the everyday worker. That is what the service was inaugurated for and they are the people who are deriving the benefit. Besides that, they are also the people who do the biggest buying and incidentally highly instruâ€" mental in the progress of the times. On the other hand, a great many of the Jitney drivers have invested their all with a view to making ends meet, perhaps some day develop a bus serâ€" vice whereby they may sit in their ofâ€" fice and control a well organized sysâ€" tem of transportation. However, the present service is just what is required and they are measuring up at all times despite the fact that they increase their rates occasionally and what may seem at a time when the traveller must come through or walk. This may seem like profiteering on a small but effective scale. ;;“;vilg;e’g,', â€"(i-i‘fi-lfiiights will only be used. The many fine cars that are now in service together with the comfortable Nuses indicates that many persons patâ€" ronize the system. Why endanger the lives of the patrons asâ€"well as the lives of the people in the other car when an extended arm denoting a stop or a turn would prevent ar accident. . NG REFLECTION ON 6000 WORX Uncanny Thrills Given Motorists When Jitney Drivers Stop Without Any Warning to Man Behind No driver can be too careful on Primary Lessons The Handicap atronage Drives All Day On Thursday morning, Cecil Brookes, formerly 19th Battalion, C.E. F., left his home in his motor car to go to West Toronto for some lumber for a house in the course of erection. By 10.30 a.m., he was ready to go home, but remembers nothing until lgé). 30 p.m., when he discovered himself driving along Weston Rd., and towards home. Having suffered pains in the head for the past two weeks he decided to zo to a doctor at once and proceedâ€" ed to the office of Dr. A. J. Meldrum and asked for examination. The doeâ€" tor informed him that while his heart and lungs were in good condition, he was liable to suffer from a lapse of memory, due, he said, to the attack of shellâ€"shock that he had had while servâ€" ing the colours. The Doctor also adâ€" vised him to go home and go to bed and he (the doctor) would call on him in the morning. Mr. Brooks proceeded home and remembers speaking to a man on King St., and also passing Church St., but after that and until Sunday afternoon at 4.30 o‘clock, his memory was a blank. Wanders Two Days It appears that after turning up Main St., towards his home, that he passed Church St., and then continued driving for the next two days, He was seen on two or three occasions during this time but passed on beâ€" fore he could be hailed or. stopped. When found on Sunday morning, he was sitting bolt upright in his car and staring straight ahead although his car and engine were stopped and located at the corner of St. John‘s Rd., and Main St., where he had apâ€" parently turned in. Shortage of gas was not the cause of the stop as the car was brought home, following the discovery, under it own power. As soon as Mr. Brookes was brought home, the Doctor was called who proâ€" nounced the case as one of loss of memory and advised complete â€"rest. Prior to recovering, Mr. Brookes inâ€" timated as having travelled during the entire time that he was missing before he recovered but after normal heâ€" could not recollect anything of his absence. During his state of comma, he regardâ€" ed. everybody as strangers, failing to recognize any of his family and it was not until he had had fourteen hours sleep that he showed any signs of reâ€" covery by hysteria. He is under the Doctors dare and will be given a comâ€" plete rest for the next week or two. Is Away From Home for Three Days and Drives Motor Car \__â€"__â€" Continuously Of all the troop that went overseas and particularly those who suffered from nurasthenia, there is not one but would rather have been wounded than shellâ€"shocked.. The ultimate results or reâ€"action of the latter is never known but the former is invariably in hand at all times. The fact that shellâ€"shock may recur after a period of five or six years seems incredible directly due to the fact in the first instance because we have not had a war where this afâ€" fliction was so prevalent and secondly because it occurs near at home. If one read of this happening on the other side, perhaps they would marvel at it. However, it needs little encouragement to bring on an attack such as was sufâ€" fered overseas. BALLâ€"In fond and loving memory of my dear husband, Sidney C. Ball, who was called to rest Sept. 16th, 1921. The one I loved is now at rest, His fond true heart is still, The hand that woud have helped me, Now lies iin deaths cold chill. He bade no one a last farewell, He said Goodbye to none, Heaven‘s gate was opened. wide And a loving voice said "Come." Sadly missed by wife and children.
