Kelly, of the advertising agency of Hamilton. Mr. Kelly is* head of the Red Cross Blood Donors Clinics for Ontario and as such has done a great job, He is a native of Teeswater and a booster for the smaller municipalities. He spoke on the de­ centralization of industry, Wholesome condi­ tions are found outside of the congested areas. He showed several charts of surveys that had been made showing the present conditions and the improvements desired in the future. He stressed the fact that prosperity must begin with our basic industry, farming. When farmers arc prosperous the community prospers and industry also reaps the benefit through greater trade channels. Hydro and running water are two im­ portant factors for the farm. Mr. Kelly is a 100% booster for the small towns. In conversation Mr. Kelly recalled the days when every village in this j team. part of the province boasted a lacrosse YEARS AG© The body of William staubury, aged 23* sou of Mr. and Mrs. John Stanbury, butcher of Exeter, who was drowned in Lake Erie near Pt.

The residents of that community would like us to be­ lieve that it is the beauty spot of the many beautiful spots of which Ontario is endowed. Well, we will admit it is a beauty spot, and we were enraptured with the magnificence of the scenery. Hut we must confess that we have visit­ ed many beauty spots in Ontario and we were enraptured and carried away at the time with the magnificence of what we saw, We were attending a convention of the Weekly Newspapers Association of Ontario and Quebec held at the General Brock Hotel at Niagara Falls. The last time we visited Niagara B'alls was shortly after the old Honeymoon Bridge had collapsed. The erection of the Rain­ bow Bridge and the improvement and the beauti­ fication of the surroundings is a wonder to be­ hold and we could not but stand in awe at the vision of the men who conceived the structure and planned the gardens. And yet all that man has devised and created is insignificant wdth the great attraction that is known as one of the seven wonders of the world and has attracted tourists of all nations since the white man dis­ covered America and the huge water falls. We passed through the fruit belt to see the tail end of the blossom season and we could well imagine that the scene must have been gorgeous when at it*? best. But the tulips, the lilacs and the magnolias together with the shrub­ bery were beautiful. We had left home in a hurry, having de­ cided at the last moment to attend the conven­ tion. Meeting some friends in London we were told that it would be impossible to secure a room at the convention hotel as they had sent for reservations the week before and were un­ able to secure them. Arriving at the hotel, how­ ever, we found a number of the men doubling up and wre were able to share a room and twin beds with Mr. Marshall of the Comber Herald. We were a little late in arriving down for breakfast and a trifle chagrined when we found the breakfast-room filled and the convention hour not far off. I tried to pin the blame on Mr. Marshall for taking too long room. Among the highlights of the sion wag a discussion of Ontario’s law for industry. We found that offices, like ourselves, had to put in some extra hours on the day before or on the d(ay pub­ lication if last minute news and last minute ad­ vertisements were to be taken care of and if the paper was to come out on time. A resolu­ tion drawing the attention of the government to this condition was endorsed. A place for women in journalism was the subject of the addresses by three lady editors, Mrs. E. A. Duncan, of the Wiarton Echo; Mrs. K. Marsden of the Elora Express and Miss Mary Dawson, of the Parkhill Gazette. Miss Dawoil carried away the house when she told of her experiences in trying to master the linotype and the press when faced with that emergency. Andy Clai*ke Greetings were brought by Andy Clarke, CBC Neighborly News. Here is one that is off the record. I’ll tell it to you if you promise not to tell, but if you do tell, tell the other person not to tell* Andy told us quietly and quite confi­ dentially that the Times-Advocate had a good editorial page. He enjoyed reading it. Sh-h-h, Don’t mention it. At the noon luncheon by the Niagara Parks Commission at the Parks restaurant an address of welcome was given by Mayor Inglis and Maxim T. Gray, general manager of the Niagara Parks Commission told of the development of the 3000 acres under the control of the Com­ mission. At a banquet in the hotel in the evening there were presentations of competition trophies. We were pleased to note that our good friend and neighbor Lome Eedy, of the St. Journal-Argus carried off the trophy best weekly paper published in a town population or less. Hon. John Bracken The guest speaker for the evening in the bath- morning ses- 8-hour labor most of the Marys for the of 4.500 The guest speaker for the evening was the Hon, John Bracken,, leader of the Progressive- Conservative party. Mr. Bracken was introduced by Hugh Templin.) of the Fergus News-Record. “We are living in the'most thrilling, the most interesting, the most critical and the most chal­ lenging period of the whole human race.” said Mr. Bracken, as he tried to point out the weak­ nesses of our past economy and to suggest the needs not only of Canada, but of all nations to Louis Blake Duff the noon luncheon Saturday we were of Johnston, Everson and Cliarleswortli Parks restaurant and again we received At guests at the another rare treat, this time by a Huron boy, Louis Blake Duff, of Welland, a former news­ paper man. “Who is Louis Blake Duff?” I heard one of the younger members of the association ask another. “He is one of Canada’s outstanding after-dinner speakers. He. compares favorably with Brockington and men like that,” said the other. Mr. Duff had just nicely got started with his address when someone behind had occasion to open a door. Then like a flash came this wit: “As soon as I start speaking someone begins looking for a way out.” It brought down the house. At a meeting of the nominating committee 1 imagine it was felt that Huron County should have a member on the executive of the associa­ tion and as J was the only representative at the convention the honor fell to me. •X- # The Right Spirit It was good news to hear that Canada had brought home her wounded soldiers in one of the finest ships afloat.

He was fixing .a car when the end piece of wire pierced his eye, and it is feared injured the sight. He was taken to London on Friday and was operated on Saturday. Mr, S. N. Scott, of the 2nd con. of 'Stephen, sustained a most severe injury on Friday at noon, when a horse kicked him in the face and arm. We understand he was taking the horse to the stable after the morning work, and for some un­ known reason, the beast kicked with both feet, one hoof strking him in the face and the other in the arm.

Anthony Eden and men who think like him, on the other hand, are doing all they can to finsh this present struggle and to place the offending parties in such a position that they cannot commit anything like the offence of the last years. Surely this effort is the reason­ able thing for our statesmen to have in mind. * * * * What Can Be Done? We stand with white faces as we think that the little children now playing so happily may‘be called to go to war before they attain full man­ hood. That is, we are almost terrified by the thought that there is to be a war to follow hard on the heels of the present war. Yet we may as well face up to the gravest prospects as well as to the most pleasing outlook. What, then, are we to do about it? First of all, we must insist upon keeping treaties in principle as well as in the letter. The nation failing to do so must be outlawed from the first infraction of the agree­ ment openly entered into. More important still, there must be culti­ vated a spirit of good will, based on education and' confidence in the common people. The com­ mon people always resent the arrogance and op­ pression of the self-appointed aristocracy. It is well known that there is no impudence and no­ thing so insulting as the impudence of wealth. Education has done marvelous things for Rus­ sia. But what has been, is as nothing to what may be accomplished by an aroused church and civilized governments seriously bent on preserv­ ing the peace of the world.

It is a well-known fact that adding small amounts of metals, such as chromium and tungsten, to steel greatly increases the strength and durability of the alloy produced. In a similar manner, it has been found by Firestone research that the intimate mixing with rubber of small amounts of a new scientific discovery, “Vitalin,” imparts long-sought proper­ ties to the rubber. As in the alloy steel, the new rubber compound . . . VITAMIC RUBBER ... is greatly improved in strength, wear-ability, and resistance to heat and ageing. All Firestone tires are now with Vitamic Rubber. This extra value, together with ___ Dipping and Safety Locked Cords, is all the more reason why you should insist on Firestone tires when you obtain a Tire Ration Permit.
