But man has made amazing progress in aviation and today it's the birds who are left behind. Here in Canada, with our vast, distancea, we rely heavily on the airplane. And reliable air trans- portation depends on having the right fuel when and where it is needed. Imperial Oil makes aviation gasoline: and jet fuels available anywhere in Canada— at lonely fuel caches deep in the Arctic, or at busy international airports. IMPERIAL.

To my surprise I Logan to get results at the end of the first week and have been losing ever since. I am sure that I ran now keep my weight where I ., ant it." W. MnNTCOMERY Montreal, P.Q. Overweight people generally fall int, two classes, those who have tried to reduce and failed, and those who have never tried at all. You don't have to he in either group. Make up your mind that you are no longer going to suffer the discomfort and embarrass- ment of being overweight. You are not far from a drug store, walk over and ask for the Neran Plan and begin today to lose weight. It is that simple. After you have lost weight you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner. f Staffa 11 •I, Hears Discussion on Horne Economics, Health Home Economics and Health was the theme of the Staffa WI meet- ing held at the home of Mrs. Gor- den Hoggarth.

Park St., Lapeer, Michigan. Editor, The Huron Expositor: In my last letter at Christmas I noted that for some of us it would be our last Christmas on this planet. Wellon January 6th, my wife's only sistered sudden- ly of a heart attack. She and Mrs. O'Neill were the last of a family of six. There are no other living relatives. We moved over here from Flint a few years ago, so that the two sisters could be clos- er. We really have never cared much for Lapeer, as a place to live, but like John and Dorothy Clark, we're here, so what! We are only 20 miles from Flint, the place we knew so well for so long a time. But even 20 miles is a- long way when one (or two) are getting old and not very well. We may move back to Flint now, or we may not; we are undecided. It wouldn't be till summer any- way. They were digging the London - bound passenger train out of huge snowdrifts in Billy Aikenhead's "cut" one forenoon—oh, 20 rail- way hands and a snowplow from ,Goderich. Fifty years from now things will be different!" said Ben Hig- gins, who with others had come to see the tie-up. "These sides should all be cut away so that the wind can get a clean sweep, not have a big long ditch here for a blizzard to pile up in," he went on. It was about 1905. "I'll tell you, Ben," said Billy Ross, "if these gas buggies they're getting out now prove successful, we won't even have trains 50 years from now," Well, Ben wasn't much impress- ed. "Billy," he said, "these gas things running around now, in sum- mer, they'll never take the place of trains, or even wipe out the horse." Sandy Mustard said he believed these gas buggies would be im- proved and used' by many people, but no, he didn't think that the railroads would be injured by them. By this time, Bill Berry and Jack Snider had arrived at the scene. Mr. Berry told of being in Toronto the week previous and gasoline "trucks" were already in use there. I wouldn't be surprised to see these put railroads out of business 16 Rinks Play In.

"It could happen." things to hale won't allow such people and freight to ruin our roads, and tear up the roads," Jack Snider suggested. It was really cold that morning, but just about the time it became unbearable, the 8:05 passenger was cleared (it was about noon now); the conductor shouted, "All Aboard!"—everybody did, as he smiled—in other words what he said was: "Come on folks, ride into the station." I remember that as a young lad, oh, 12 or 13 years of age. I was at an auction sale with Uncle Jack McQueen. For the life of me, I cannot remember the time of the man who had hired Tom Brown to sell that day. (I wonder if others approaching the threescore and ten span, too, have lapses of memory at times???). Anyway, I was there, and for a good reason: I wanted to buy some laying hens. At about that age I had a hunch that I could become wealthy tend- ing a flock of hens. While the sale was in progress— and Tom hadn't reached the ben boxes as yet—Tom Penfound was telling Bill Collins, John Gibson, Sandy Thompson and Uncle Jack that he would buy the man's grain binder if sold reasonably. "You know, Tom," said Sandy Thompson, "it isn't so long ago we used the sickle. A quarter century in the future this kind of grain binder will be a thing of the past." You may be right," said Tom, "but that far off I won't have any use for a grain binder anyway. But I need one now." Bill Collins. and John Gibson agreed that the future held a lot in store—now a secret—but the whole manner of things, even in- struments used in agriculture, will be changed, they reasoned. Tom Penfound was a school trustee at No. 10, Stanley. He took a great interest in the school and its teach- ers and pupils. In part, he said: "Men, we have no idea what the future holds for us, and especial- ly for our children. There's going to be a great demand for new ideas, new machinery, new every- thing, in the years ahead. That is why I'muso interested in school work. We must see that our young are well educated, so as to fill a proper place in the world ahead." Tom didn't live to see the com- bine replace the grain -binder. One chilly morning, he left the house without hat or coat to chat to a friend briefly in his yard (it was about zero that day, if I remem- ber correctly), and the result of that few minutes' chat barehead- ed and coatless brought on pneu- monia, and in two or three days Tom passed away. The days when Billy Aikenhead, Jim Boyce and indeed, Jim Swan before them—had a bristling team of horses pull their engine from farm to farm in threshing time, while the farmers' team moved the' separator—those days seem far away now. But it's nice to peek back yonder, now and then, and thus become more appreciative of modern times. Tim Waldron used to say—well, we will leave that for next time.
