The Secretary, Finance and Courtesy Committees were appoint­ ed. The minutes of the last meet­ ing were read by Mrs. Monteith, of Kippen, who was appointed Secre­ tary. Auxiliaries were each called in or­ der and many were the new ideas and helpful hints given by one and another, as they tell how their home meetings were conducted or the means by which they were aiming Your Tires are just as important as your engine! ARE of your tires repays you just as well as care of your engine. It means thousands of extra miles — hundreds of dollars saved in a few seasons. And that is exactly the reason for Dominion Tire Depots — not just to repair your tires when trouble occurs, but to inspect them regularly — to remove every cause of trouble and to correct every injury at its beginning. Make a habit of calling at your nearest depot every week to have your tires checked.

Miss Chase, the speaker of the day, gave a very interesting illus­ trated talk on the work in Western Canada. The Ukranian people now number about half a million and are the third largest group of people in Canada. They are eager to learn, very hospitable, honest and above all capable of infinite development. Marvellous has been the change in the past twenty years. They now have a member of Par­ liament. The W.M.S, have a privi­ lege in helping to keep this Western Canada truly Canadian and to save them for Christ. Miss Hedden, of Hensail, gave a Wonderful solo, “The City of God.” Reports were heard from Presby- tial Secretaries fefenee led by Mrs. LeRoy White brought out many ideas and solved several difficulties. The resolution commitee brought forward their re­ port: We the Courtesy Committee, hon­ ored, through humble, desire on this the third Section Convention of the South Huron Presbyterial to bring in our resolutions of thanks and ap­ preciation to (1) Our dearly beloved and high­ ly esteemed vice-president, Mrs. Mol­ lard.

A con- up Freight Service r v. [MuMwi '-2 .. 1 .

W. Beatty, Chairman and. Presi­ dent, and other executives of the railway outside the Windsor Street Station. Mr. Beatty was specially interested in the me­ chanism by which the trailer is connected up witk 'the tractor. This is done by the simple Operation •of backing, the tractor slowly Into the trailer. Un­ coupling is actuated from the tractor by the simple moving of a lever. The President had these Opera­ tions performed several times and expressed his ap­ preciation of their simplicity. Coupling and uncoupling of the trailer is operated flby means of a mechanism known as a fifth wheel ’■Which is bolted to the tractor frame and upon which the front end of the trailer rides, interlocks itself . mechanically with the trailer’ through the use of rail­ toad type double locking jaw couplers. . Brakes of ;Uoth the tractor and trailer ate applied irdividually i'and separately by th$ driver and are at all. times ^minder his control. Were it possible for a trailer to (become disconnected from a 'tractor at any time when •tin motion, the brakes of the former arc automatically I applied bringing it almost immediately to a stop. ! Through the Use of a “Dolly” which consists of a I fifth wheel mounted on a pair of road wheels, two [-or more attendant trailers may be attached to one tractor thereby forming a tractor train and by so [doing much increasing the total load capacity* With .'the addition of the extra trailer wheels the total j weight of the vehicle and load, is divided over a [•greater road surface tire area, thus overcoming , the deteriorating effect of heavily loaded trucks on the •(highways and city streets. J The capacity of the trailers '•used is 10,000 to i'15,000 pounds with ah inside dimension of approxi- jimately 16 feet long, 6*4 feet Wide arid 7 feet high. rThe tractor is of the internationally known “Bull |DogP type and Its draw-bar pull is far in excess of [anything that wall be required Of but was deemed Advisable to use in view of the heavy road conditions prevailing in Montreal during the winter months. I While the tractor is of standard Mack design, »nly the chassis Is so in the ease of the trailer, the Jwdy being bi$t ahd finished In the Transport com- pany’s plant in Montreal. The body is of oak throughout with a sheet metal covering and the whole equipment is highly finished in dark blue with red wheels and undergear, the standard colors of the company, making a very handsome appearance. The centre side panels or sliding doors of the trailer as well as the tear doors and front panel are decorated with the Maple Leaf and Beaver, insignia of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The doors of the tractor bear the same crest. The Dominion Transport Com­ pany have at preseht nine “trailers in operation and will increase this number to twelve in the next few weeks. Similar automotive equipment has been ordered for use in Toronto by the company. Mack Tractors and Lapeer trailers represent the latest and most efficient method of handling freight. It consists of spotting one or more trailers at strate­ gic points where freight is to be picked up* When the trailer Is loaded the tractor calls for each in turn, taking them to their respective destinations under what is known as the Shuttle System. By this method no time is lost by full trailers waiting to be moved, as they are operated on an hourly schedule between each of the outlying, freight de­ pots and the central station, thereby giving the mer­ chants and manufacturers of these outlyiiig districts the same despatch with their freight as those who are move centrally located* t every woman as we pass this on to i Goderich Industrial Exhibition is ...... a*.. *<-,1—— ----- > |Q September 17th, 18th and 19 th. you.

An invitation was extended by the Whalen Auxiliary which was appre- ciately accepted. In a few closing words, Mrs, Mol­ lard gave an inspiring message>that just where we are Lord, come to us and make' our whole lives songs of praise. Rev. Mr. White closed the rally with a benediction. • DISTRICT NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Downs and family, Who have been residents of Clinton for the past nineteen years, are mov­ ing to Toronto.
