The following excerpt would stand re-statement. “Without any definite information as to what are the government plans for the fu­ ture Exeter is launching a program for the erection of fifty wartime houses. There is a rumor that seems to have some authenticity that the contract has been let for twenty-five houses to be built at the airport. But what is fifty or seventy-five homes if four to five hundred are needed. If it is a per­ manent thing these young couples are entitled to decent homes and decent standards of living. They fought for it. Are they getting it?’’ Yours truly, R. II. Doyle. Evening Servicewaagia One garage will be open in Exeter on Sundays and dur­ ing the evenings throughout the week. Open this Sunday and During the Evenings throughout the Week. The Ontario Legislature is enacting a law — if your automobile is involved in an accident and judgment is ob­ tained against you and you are unable to pay, your auto­ mobile and driver’s or chauffeur’s permit will be taken and kept from you until you pay the judgment and file proof of financial responsibility. Much better to have your automobile insurance before the accident and judgment occur. Much better to have automobile insurance and not need it than to need it and not have it. W.
