WITNESS DEAD, TRIAL OF LUCAN CASE DELAYED Because the only eye-witness in the case is dead, the trial of a civil action brought by Harry Lankin, police chief of Lucan against James Sutton, retired (Lucan man, will be delayed.

Millard Grant, defence counsel, told Justice Makins that James Bar­ nett, who was to have- been a defence witness died about three weeks ago However, <he gave evidence in a crim­ inal trial over the fight some time ago and this is being transcribed and will be used evidence in the civil trial. The case will not go to trial until later. When it is called before the court the defence will also ask to have the jury dismissed and the case heard by the judge alone. Coun­ sel for Sutton claims the jury might not give full weight to Burnett’s evidence which will have to be read to the court. This motion will be opposed by J. C. Glllanders, acting for Lankin.

They need a few of our Mounties to show them how to do a real job. It is alleged that the other morning a. few gentlemen while riding in their car heard, by radio, news direct from Australia. 'That’s going some. ******** Yes, good times are here, all right, but are we winning them to be our real friends? W’e know of no society that is eagerly try­ ing to chase them into our dooryards. ******** And now the Ontario cabinet finds that someone of its members has the habit of talking too much. Even a cabinet minister who minds his own business has an all day 30b. ******** One of the delightful signs of the times its the way those in . debt are remembering those who befriended them in the chillj’ days of adversity. Honest men try to pay their debts. ******** That financial wizard, Ponzi, has been kicked out of the U. S. on account of his being a colossal humbug. You remember him do you not? He was a big noise a few years ago. ******** The cabinet of the government of the Provnice of Ontario is responsible for the acts of each of its members. The party from which the cabinet is chosen is responsible for the acts of the cab­ inet. ******** A. NECESSITY If Canadian farmers are to capture a larger place on the British market, they simply must standardize their product and standardize at a high level. They have the goods and the brains to do sen ******** JUST LIKE HUI Brother Eedy of the St. Marys Journal-Arguis has been having his editorial rooms and his print-shop re-decorated. That’s just like him! ******** JUST THE THING It is rumored t*frat the Ontario government is going to set the unemployed to cutting wood for those who are unavoidably short of coal. In this way a real saving, it is believed, will be affected both in the case of the men who are set to work and for the folk supplied with wood, with cordwood, we hope. This, was suggested some time ago but it was urged that the cost would be so great that loss would result rather than gain. At any rate, the experiment is worth the trying. Ontario is getting pretty tired of warming and clothing people who do not seriously try to help themselves. ***** *** OUR DANGER Some people think that we are bidding goodbye to our stub­ born opponent “Old Man Depression.” Let us hope that we are. He has camped on our trail quite long enough. Should it be the case that our unwelcome visitor has gone, it may be that he is leaving behind him one of his first cousins, that sleek, smoothly-moving but deadly enemy, Self-complacency, who will do all he can to have us believe that we are superior, clever people who are wonderfully efficent t,o have wiggled out of the Slouglit of Despond on the side of the City of Prosperity. If we have been deceived into any such frame of mind, we’ll do well to pinch ourselves wide awake. The truth is that the good times we are enjoying may not be as enduring as we may think. There is no mysterious Something-Or-Othef bearing uis forward. Wo have not done anything special in the way of self-help. We have had a fair harvest, locally. Some folk have worked hard and en­ dured a good deal to balance their budget. In that ,way times have mended somewhat, but only a little financial improvement is the lot of most of us. iSteady effort is istlll needed, We have precious little cause for self-congratulation. Young Peoples’ Convention The London Conference Young People’s Convention met at Leaming­ton, October 5, 6, 7. AH eight Pres-} byteries reported an active year's work.

He preached also the sermon at the Sunday morning service. Hugh Ellis, of Leamington is the new Young People’s Conference president; vice-president, J, Fuller,1 of London; secretary, Dollie Broad, Springford; treasurer, Gilbert Bee- cioft, Belgrave. ABSENT MINDED There are absent-minded teachers as well as professors, it was disclos­ ed at the school marms convention in 'Goderich when a fair pedagogue was called upon to give a report of her' visit to Toronto as a delegate to the O.E.A. last Easter, She meekly replied she bad forgo ten that she had been appointed a delegate one year ago and had spent the holiday with hei’ mother. This number on the program was passed over smartly by an astute chairman. It would not be fair to give the teachers name, for it might be the kids turn to laugh. WILLIAM BERRY KILLED William Berry, 43, of Brucefield, was killed in a motor car accident on the Bayfield-Brocefield road. His body was found in the wreckage of his car which ,was piled against a cement post at the approach of Reid’s bridge on that road about 10 p.m. Mr. Berrv, who is single and employed as a truck driver for Mor­ rissey’s transport was driving along in his own passenger car when it crashed into the approach to the bridge.

The System Run Down The Nerves “All Shot’* Pll^j How often you hear of some bright, energetic, ambitious person, in the prime of life, being suddenly checked in the midst of their activities by a nervous breakdown. The hurried life we lead, the late hours, the want of necessary rest, and the stress of business are all conducive to nervous collapse. In all cases the disturbing causes should be do* tected in their incipiency and the nervous system set right by the use of Milburn’S H. & N. Pills, so that some serious illness may be averted.

CHEVROLET 5 FULLY ENCLOSED KNEE-ACTION CABLE-CONTROLLED BRAKES BLUE-FLAME CYLINDER HEAD BODY BY FISHER SHOCK-PROOF STEERING I’M in the habit of buying a car "on time”, like most other people. I’m buying a Chevrolet—and saving money! Here is why: Comparing cash prices, I found that you can buy a Chevrolet Standard Series Six for less than any other car in Canada. And that the Master Series Chevrolet, with all its extra features, costs no more than the others in its class. Naturally, low cash prices mean that the cost of buying on monthly payments is going to be low, too. So I investigated the GMAC plan, on which Chevrolet cars are sold. I found that GM AC is General Motors’ own time payment plan. The manufacturers of Chevrolet stand squarely behind every time-payment sale. I found that the GM AC financing rates have been recently reduced—making it cheaper than ever to buy on this plan. I found that every Chevrolet sold under the GMAC plan is fully protected by insurance — Fire, Theft, Accidental Physical Damage and $50 Deductible Collision Insurance. And I found that one of the biggest reasons why the GMAC plan costs less and gives more is because more people buy on this plan than on any other. I’m buying a Chevrolet on the GMAC plan, because I’ve found that there’s a lot of difference in time payments — and that you save when you get the facts, , , C-2S4C A General Motors Value MOTORS PMonvcn Produced in Canada READY FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY Master Six from Standard Six frond *844 s710 Delivered, fully equipped, at Oshava, Ont, Freight and.
