Pohlmann, travel­ ling passenger agent, Canadian Pacific Railway, with headquar­ ters at New York, was recently elected vice-president of the American Association of Travel­ ling Passenger Agents of New York. Mr. Pohlmann has been a member of the association’s executive committee for the past year. Hotel Saskatchewan, Regina, distinguished itself recently by staging a Chinese Mandarin din­ ner dance, said to be the first of its kind on this continent. As stage decoration there was used a hundred-foot runner and side drapes, hand-made by Chinese many decades ago, and insured while in use at a valuation of $6,060. The orchestra was in .Chinese dress and provided music 'with a decidedly Eastern back­ ground. T. J. Jackson, who has just been appointed first assistant man­ ager of the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, in succession to Cyril Chapman, promoted to the post of manager of the Seigniory Club pf Quebec, started as cashier at Ibe Chateau Frontenac in 1924, and has had rapid advancement ‘to his present high position. To Charles Montgomery, one- time switch-tender and at pres- ■ ent elevator operator at the Can­ adian Pacific uptown office build- ;£og in Winnipeg, go all honors for having constructed what is probably the most perfectly fin­ ished model of a locomotive on the continent. It is a five-foot replica of a Canadian Pacific Class '2300**, finished in brass, and copper, and took five years to construct Out of active service for some years past Canadian Pacific liner (Qleiita has been sold to Italian . shipbreakers. She was built in Glasgow in 1918. ■"Never betray a trust; be hon­ est; do what other man can do; and work your eight hours a day,” is the recipe for success enunciated by Caleb R. Smith, in­ ternational chairman of the Mil- jlion-Dollar Round Table, speak­ ing to the Life Underwriters in convention at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, recently. James G. Millar, Medicine Hat, veteran Canadian Pacific engin­ eer, recently celebrated his 82nd birthday, when railway acquant- ances and relatives gathered to congratulate him. He was born in Drummondville, Que., and has been drawing a railroad cheque for more than 64 years. A couple of score of fine old railroaders who five decades ago helped push the steel around the north shore of Lake Superior for the Canadian Pacific Railway, gathered near Jackfish, Ont., re­ cently, to re-enact the driving of the last spike at Noslo on May 16, 1885. > Alex. Anderson, Port Ar­ thur, who held the spike when it was driven fifty years ago', drove home a new gilded spike with a vigor that belied his 81 years. NEW LICENSES ARE BLACK WITH WHITE LETTERS Glcssy white letters on dull black This, it was learned, will be the On­ tario automobile combination for 193 6. At the Ontario Reformatory in Guelph, many thousands of plates have already been turned out and the first samples have reached Queen’s Park. The authorities are quite proud of the new combination. They figure that the glassy white on the dull black will present a distinctive ap­ pearance and yet readily catch the eye of a traffic officer. Next year's plates will .have holes punched in the bottom of the mark­ er as well as the top. This is des­ ignated to fit the plate on the license­ holders attached to some of the new- model cars. The change makes the plate a little wider from top to bot­ tom and the name of the province is brought to the foot of the marker. An Otherwise Beautiful Face Sadly Marred by Pimples URDOCK ITTERS P k F SPECIAL deer hunting LICENSE NEW BRUNSWICK New Brunswick will institute a special non-resident deer hunting license this season, according to the Fish and Game Department of the Canadian National Railways. The price is $10.00 and the license will permit of hunters taking two deer and two bears during the season which will extend from September 15th to November 30th. The regular non-resident deer license, the fee for which is $25.00 will still be available. This latter license per­ mits of the taking of two deer, two bears, ducks and partridge to the le­ gal limit, in the open season.

Tenders will be asked to supply the registry office with complete filing equipment. The members, Warden Sweitzer and Reeves McNall, Crosier, Elliott, Archibald and Mellick were present. HOMES IN GODERICH TWP. RAIDED Takes Money and Jewelry When Owners Absent HOLMESVILLE—An unidentified man in a motor car with disc wheels drove down the Blue Water Highway of Goderich Township and stopped at all the farm houses. If anyone was home, he inquired the way to Exeter and at other places, he ran­ sacked the houses turned drawers out and took anything and everyth­ ing of value. The homes of Gordon Harwopd, and Mrs. Margaret McDonald .were entered and money taken. At the home of Charles Bell on the 3rd con­ cession, money and a diamond ring were taken; at the home of the Emmerson Brothers, on the 7th con­ cession, a large sum of money, gold rings, and a brodch much prized as a keepsake,.were taken. Later the same evening, the 3 0- ,ton straw stack on the farm of John Blair was set afire by some person or persons unknown, the blaze great­ ly endangering other buildings on the farm. The same evening a car answer­ ing the description drove to the yard of two farm houses on the 4th con­ cession, but made a hasty exit when the men of the farm appeared. At two farms on the Bayfield road, the supposed thief inquired if anyone lived there, if so what time they were accustomed to doing their evening chores. Even the woodpecker owes his suc­ cess to the fact that he uses his head. Sunday School Lesson PAUL, WORKER WITH HAND AND BRAIN Sunday, Sept. 1; Acts 20:33-35; Philippians 4:4-13. Golden Text I have showed you all things, how that so laboring you ought to sup­ port the weak. (Acts 20:35). PRACTICAL PAUL, the tent­ maker, was by no means a "leader” in the early Church; much of. his preaching was done by practical de­ monstration, and today’s lesson deals with one of his illustrated lec­ tures on the art of independence and 'Christian charity. The little tent-maker had not intentions ot bowing to the rich, not he; his Sav­ iour was his sufficiency; he need not covet the silver and gold; he n^ed not soft-pedal his message for fear of offending the rich in his congregation; he was in vital living communion with the Lord Jesus; he need not—dare not lean upon the arm of flesh or trust in the riches that moth and rust doth corrupt. But Practical Paul, while not a "leaner” upon his fellow Christians was indeed a "leaner" upon his Own resources. ' PAlUL THE PHILANTHROPIST— One can picture the little saint as he raised those toil-worn hands1 and lifted his voice in timely word of instruction; “Yea, ye yourselves know that these hands have minis­ tered unto my necessities and to them that were with me." (Verse 34). The Christian who, like Paul, learns to lean upon G-od or strength to help himself, always finds that he is able to share the necessities with "them that are with him." Even the humble tent-maker could write by inspiration; "Upon the first day of the week let him lay aside as the Lord hath prospered him." Yes, God always sees' to it that His commands the enablements. When, thro' H'is prophet, Malachi, He wrote, "Bring all your tithes into the storehouse," He had it in His omnipotent mind to provide the tithes, Thus it was1 that the practical hand of Paul was en­ abled to share with his fellow tra­ vellers. In so doing he had learned a precious lesson—indeed, one that all Christians might benefit by. It was this; "It is more blessed to give than to receive.” And so Paul work­ ed with his hands; illustrated the Christian life with his hands; and gave cheerfully with his hands. Surely this threefold demonstration Of Chrsitianity ‘is what God yearns for in the life of all His blood- bought children, Practical labor need not dull the thinking .powers of the child of God Many of the gems of thought that come to .Christian thinkers icome while the hands labor at some men­ ial task—or' the glory of God. Like Carey, we can mend shoes for the glory of God, and at the same (time outrival the greatest human minds in flights of wisdom and meditation Such an experience was that of Paul Each new task attempted with his hands brought home some new truth to his sanctified heart. He could ad­ monish others to "rejoice in the Lord alway," because he, himself, had learned the secret of a "rejoic1- ing life.” It was unreserved sur­ render to. the will of God. Which does not mean a life of ease and lei­ sure, but strength each day for the tasks that confronted him. His two­ fold "rejoice” was the spontaneous response to the work of the Holy Spirit in his surrendered heart and hand.

FRITZ & SON, ZURICH SPROWL, LUCAN J. PASSMORE & SON, HENSALL Psalmist's prayer, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight O Lord, any Strength and ipy Re­ deemer." And his prayer was ans­ wered and so he could write to the Philippian Christians: "Let your moderations be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.” While the writer thought on these things the last clause took on a new meaning —the Lord is at hand—always ready to help in time of heed—tor "He shall supply all your needs accord­ ing to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” and Paul adjnonishes: "Be careful tor nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplica­ tion, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God." (Verse 6). Where human hands fail, the Father’s hand supplies. Having lived his years in the ser­ vice of God; having steeped his mind in the Word of God; having satur­ ated his heart with the Spirit of God, Paul the tentmaker had reach­ ed the enviable position where he could truthfully say: "I have learn­ ed in whatsoever state I am,’ there­ with to be content." How the Church needs to learn that lesson today, not so much to be content in the state in which she finds herself, but to get into the state where God can give her contentment and power in the service for which she exists. This blessed experience is God’s plan for each indivdual. Paul had found it when he came to the place where he could honestly say: "I am crucified with Christ." Is 'it the ever-present “I" that so often* ham­ pers the .Spirit of God in His work of making contented Christians. ‘I’ must be on the altar, Christ must be on the throne, before it can be said of us, we have learned to be content ‘I must work with my hands to the glory of God; ‘I’ must share my goods with 'my fellowmen to the gory to God: ‘I’ must remember the words of the Lord Jesus; ‘I’ must rejoice in tribulation—after that, God will do His part as He did in the life of Paul, who consecrated hand and brain in the 'interests of Christ Jesus His Lord. ffu’danco The (Staffa Junior Farmers and Junior Institute held theii* annual ^picnic to Grand Bend on Wednes­ day, August 7th, With about 60 young people in attendance.
