TRAVELOGUE “TREASURES OF
BRITAIN” ENTERTAINS A-YP-A.,
A large audience of young people
and friends greeted the very highly
instructive and entertaining travel
ogue furnished by The Cunard
Steamship Co. “Free of any charge”
M the Town Hall, Exeter, Tuesday,
March 31, under the auspices of the
A. Y. P. A. of Trivitt Memorial
Church under the guidance of the
Company’s British representative T.
V. Shelley. The moving pictures
carried the audience across the At
lantic on board the Cunard liner
ch-owing enroute many interesting
features of ship travel day by day
enjoyed by passengers and the in
teresting details connected with the
operating of an ocean liner.
Space will not permit description
fol all the features thrown on the
ficreen during the tw-o hours’ enter
tainment reviewing treasured mem
ories to those of Old Country birth.
'Much interest was shown in the
pictures of Glasgow and Edinburg
lalso The Trossaaks that scenery seto-
ond to none in the Old toand with its
Heather covered highland moors,
-(glens and mountains so dear to the
Scotch. Through England whose
walled cities, Cathedrals and castles
take one back to the foundation of
the British nation and its traditions.
Wincheser, Chester, Oxford, Windsor
and Londoii where we visit the To
wer* of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral
Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar
Square with its imposing monument
to Lord Nelson; “Canada House”
the London home of our Dominion
Government; Houses of Parliament;
“Big Ben”; Westminster Abbey,
Hyde Park and the Zoo all giving
the audience vividfmemories of that
Mecca for world travellers.
It was evident no pains had been
spared by the Cunard camera artist
to secure the very utmost interest
ing features with the very limited
amount of time in the Old Land.
During the showing a very able
description of the various scenes was
given by T. V. .Shelley making the
Travelogue of still frtlier interest.
Returning to the Cunarder Letitia
gave further insight into "the life
on the ocean.
A silver collection was taken in
aid of the A. Y. P. A. Thanks- are
due to Mr. N. J. Dore, the local re
presentative for the Cunard Line,
who was responsible for introducing
the Travelogue to Exeter.

BY THE WAY I
(Contributed)
Dr. Forbes Godfrey and Rev.
tin, members of the Ontario Govern
ment had an amusing tilt the other
day in the House on punishment.
The latter has many fanciful notions
of correcting misdemeanors, while
the former believes in the old bireh
rod. The nature of the punishment
should conform to the nature of the
offence. There are times when
there is nothing quite so good as a
real bit of corporal punishment. The
birch rod may not be ideal, but a
well-soled slipper vigorously applied
to the proper spot would have a real
beneficial effect, either jn the home
or the school. Some teachers and
parents nag and rag the kids until
the child gets weary and loses all
respect for them, but no justly de
served and p.roperly administered
corporal punishment ever, made the
boy or girl lose respect for the one
| who- did the jo,b.
# X’ * « * » *
From the beginning zime grand
parents have told us that these
times were not like “the .gbod old
days.” Thank goouness they are
not in many ways, but it is easy to
believe that this world would be
happier, more contented, and not in
the unfortunate financial condition
we have to-day, if there had never
been an automobile manufactured,
Apart from deaths and injuries (al
most a million injured and forty
thousand deaths in United States
last year) the automobile lias been
the means of squandering many a
needed -dollar, and many a young
farmer or business man has gone to
tiie wall because lie spent his earn-
ings in cars anil wliat goes with them
instead -of creating a savings ac*
count' for use in the hour of need.
And yet, there are many ways in
which the motor car is a great
blessing. In spite of the -drawbacks,
this generation has no need to cry
for “the good old days.”

There is, of course, someiiiing to
be said for the citizen who becomes
elected to a board -of education or a
town council, and sits at the meet
ings year after year, fixing a few
salaries, and paying a few accounts
—-but can we say very much in bis
favor, if he never proposes anything
new, >or anything to improve the
condition of his town? In my
humble opinion the fellow who sits
■on the board for one year and really
makes an effort to improve condi
tions, and igoes down to defeat as
a result, has more- in his favor than
the other fellow.

“More important than all the deliberations of the
industry are the family councils on the performance
I of cars, the 'atmosphere of service stations and the
courtesy of salesmen. Millions of daughters, mothers,
sons and fathers are zvriting the future of the auto
motive business around the fireside — with no one
there to plead the case of the manufacturer, car or
dealer. And the verdicts are final” Motor Magazine.
The verdict, with relation, to cars priced between
$1290 and $2900, is clear-cut and conclusive^ . . .
More than fifty out of every one hundred buyers of
eights in this field choose the Straight Eight by
McLaughlin-Buick, while the Remainder divide their
purchases among 14 other makes. And eighty-eight
per cent, of McLaughlin-Buick owners—almost nine
out of ten—return to buy McLaughlin-Buicks again
and again.
Owing to their popularity the present models of
1931 McLaughlin-Btiick Straight Eights will be con
tinued throughout the coming summer and fall.

The interesting feature of the ev

given by Mrs. Horney, Miss Mildred
Rowe and Mrs. Layton. Mrs. Horn
ey confined her address to *a des
cription of our prairies and as far
west as Banff and Lake Louise with
■an interesting account of the Stam
pede at Calgary. Miss Rowe gave a
condensed and descriptive talk on
her trip taken with a party sponsor
ed by the United Church referring
especially to the interesting features
viewed from Vancouver to Prince
Rupert and in the Peaice River sec
tion, Mrs. Layton then gave a very
brief talk on her trip to the Mari
time provinces and in lifelike word
pictures told of the French Habi
tant and the Land of Evangeline.
The greater part of her address- was
relating to the scenery and many in
dustries of California closing with
a very vivid description of the Mis
sion play .given at San Gabriel. These
talks were interspersed with music
given by six ladies who played on
their stringed instruments and sang,

Miss- Murray reported that an es-
s&y contest would be held in the
school some time during April. Miss
Murray also read a letter from the
County Superintendent of Sabbath
Observance. Quite a. discussion fol
lowed and all agreed in deploring
the fact that the Sabbath is not as
well kept as in the days gone by
and that the members of the ’W.C.

remedy the matter.*.
It was moved, seconded and car
ried that a mecThl contest be held

The Clip Sheet, “Alcohol and the
Provinces” was taken charge of by
Miss Murray. We are looking for

vention in Toronto next June, and
as a preparation let us have a sur
vey of liquor sale throughout the
Dominion. In Prince Edward Is

forms of liquor laws, every one of
which was abandoned as failures.
Nine years of prohibition proved .so
satisfactory that in -spite of all the
other provinces in Canada having

remains the only province under
