The Minister of Highways is mak

is an appeal to the motorists to "'Fry
Courtesy." It should appeal to all
who sit behind the driving wheel of
a car. While we have not the t'Ki.rvs
of July this year, compared with last
year, it will be interesting to compare
the number of accidents with those
of a year ago. We hope that the
campaign has reduced the number of
accidents.
The motorist is not the only one
who should “try Courtesy" in order
that accidents may become fewer.

MQRE CARS
We read an
other day by a Canadian automobile
executive. Back in 1916 there were
only 123,000 motor vehicles registered
in the whole of the Dominion, where
as today there are ten times that
number. In 1916 people talked about
how quickly the automobile industry
would reach the saturation point, but
. during the past 20 years the industry
has come to the point where their
concern is the country’s logical needs
in- order that production may have
balance and stability.
It will be but a short time now
until the new models for 1937 will
be on display and already the auto
mobile industry is looking forward to
greater business next year.
The motor car has changed our
mode of living. It has been said that
the world is now on wheels and this
is not far wrong. The tremendous
strides made in auto passenger ser
vice and in the delivery of freight
from town to town and even over
very long distances had created a
change that few, if any, predicted in
1916 when Canada had 123,000 cars.
This fast change created new in

SCIENCE ADVISES
Reports All-Bran Supplies
This Dietary Adjunct
Scientific tests have shown that
meals which miss the proper “bulk”
tend to cause common constipation.
This condition causes discomfort,
and may lead to headaches, loss of
appetite, even serious disease.
Avoid these faulty meals by add
ing Kellogg’s All-Bran to your
menus. It supplies generous “bulk”
in convenient form. This absorbs
moisture, and gently exercises and
cleanses the system, All-Bran
also furnishes vitamin B and con
tains iron.
The “bulk” in All-Bran is often
more effective than that found in
fruits and vegetables as it does not
break down within the body. Two
tablespoonfuls daily are usually
sufficient. If not relieved this way,
consult your doctor.
Kellogg’s All-Bran may be
served as a cereal with milk or
cream. Sprinkle over soups, salads
or other cereals. Or cook into ap
petizing muffins, breads, waffles, etc,
It adds a delicious nut-sweet flavor
to your recipes.
How much better than taking
oatent medicines—sometimes harm
ful! All-Bran is sold b£ all gro
cers. Made by Kellogg in London,

brand of ball, which while not spec
tacular, coupled by some steady field
ing by his mates, was good enough to
win. A couple of double-plays by the
Braves helped the boy out of a pair
of tight squeezes.
The two Lucknow boys had much
to do with the Tribe’s victory,
Thompson hitting a homer with
one, and Gord Irwin collecting a
of singles. Bob also collected a
of blows that didn’t get in the reiords,
the dark-haired lad absorbing a cou
ple of body checks by Hanover base
men. Magwood was the big noise
with the stick for Hanover, having a
perfect day with three out of three.
Both Clubs fielded w*ell, the two er
rors apiece being excusable.
Neither club did much in the first
three innings although a triple by
Wilcox nearly brought a run, a
squeeze play turning into a double
play to nullify the wallop. Hanover
broke the ice in the fourth, Moore
singling and stealing second to open
the inning. Moore strained a muscle
going into third on 'Willoughby’s in
field out and the Tribe allowed him
a runner who promptly scored on a
bunt. Doran threw low to first and
Magwood took second on the .play.
Sinclair then lined into a double-plav,
Tiffin taking the ball right on the
bag.
The Braves went ahead temporarily
in the sixth. Chalmers opened with a
single and scored on Rob Thompson’s
home-run to deep left centre. The re
lay came very close to getting Bob
at the plate and Hanover raised quite
a kick. Somers struck out and Grov
es and Doran rolled out weakly to
end the rally. Hanover also scored a
pair in the same frame, Wilcox draw
ing a pass to start the inning. Krueg
er singled to centre and Somers’
throw to third hit Wilcox on the leg
and bounced into a group of kids,
the pitcher scoring and Krueger tak
ing third on the play. He didn’t stay
there long, however, as he tried to
steal home, or else the batter forgot
to bunt, the runner being out a mile.
Moore then got a life when Mellor
threw badly to first the batter get
ting an extra base. Willoughby’s
short single put Moore on third from
where he scored on Magwood’s sin-

came through Avith a sharp single to
right scoring Irwin and putting Col- J
via on third. Jack Avas thrown out at j

Somers’ roller to third, Thompson
moving over to third. Somers also
took second unmolested and both

from Wilcox, Bob taking second on
the play. Doran then lifted one over
the two-base portion of the right
field fence to score Groves, but Avas
himself doubled off second on Mel
lor’s fly to Moore, putting a damper
on a promising rally.
Nothing daunted, the Indians came
right back in the sixth to, tie it up.

Gurney sacrificed him to second. Ir-

Colvin at second.
Then after Somers had rolled out
to start the seventh, Groves caught
one on the nose and Avhaled it far
over ths centre-field fence for the
winning run. This caused a shake-up
in the Hanover line-up, Wilcox going
in to pitch and Wendorf taking up
the catching job. Mellor greeted Wil

Tiffin followed with one to right,
Fred taking third when Moore failed

ball to Gurney in time to get the bat

GROUP FINALS
Overcome Hanover with Sensational
Rally; Mellor’s Big Day.
After spotting the Hanover club six
big runs in the early innings at the
local park Saturday, the Wingham
ball club showed they have plenty of
what it takes by rallying brilliantly
for a 7-6 victory. The Hurons thus
took the semi-final series in two
straight and now await the outcome
of the Palmerston-Kincardine series.
Which ever of the two teams wins,
the fans should be treated to a real
thrilling final.
The largest turn-out of the season
witnessed Saturday’s game here and
went away delighted with the Red
skins’ great comeback. A long home-
run by “Bob” Groves with none on
and the score tied at 6-all in the 7th
was the blow that sent the Braves in
to the finals. It was Bob’s only hit,
but what a hit! Rill Tiffin led the
Tribal stickers with three’clean hits,
Tuddy also turning in a steady game
at second base. One of the greatest
thrills from a Wingham standpoint
was the great relief hurling of Jack
Colvin. Hitherto the great question
on the lips of local fans was “Is Col-
ivn through?" but Jack gave every
sign on Saturday of a return to at
least some degree of his old time
form. It was a very welcome return
to his team-mates as aa*c11.
But great as Groves, Bill Tiffin and
Colvin’s efforts were, the boy who
drew the most applause was none oth
er than Fred Mellor, quiet, unassum
ing Huron shortstop. Fred turned in
a big league effort against the Furni
ture Crew, one stop and throw from
far back of second being the best seen
here in many years. Mellor also hit
the ball hard, although rewarded with
only one hit.
Joe Tiffin drew the starting asign-
ment for the Braves, but while the
sorrel-top bad plenty on the ball, lack
of Avork resulting in a to-be-expected
lack of control, brought about his re- !
tirement after he had At*alked the first ■
four men to face him, Krueger scor
ing. With a little more work, Joe
will yet prove very useful to the
Braves. Colvin took up duty with
the bases full and none out and was
immediately greeted AVitli a rousing
triple by Willoughby which scored
Moore, Wendorf and Magwood. Sim
clair’s pop fly fell safely back of short
scoring Willoughby with run number
five. Here Colvin decided enough
was enough arid, struck out Brown,
Wilcox and Huber in succession to
end festivities much to the relief of
the local fans.
Hanover added their sixth and final
run in the fourth, a pair of doubles,
by Wilcox and Krueger doing the
trick. Thereafter the Hanovarians
Avere seldom in scoring position, Col
vin having the situation well in hand,
backed by steady fielding by his
mates. The Hurons finally broke in
to the scoring; column in the same
inning. Doran Avalked and stole sec
ond to open the inning, Mellor then
going down Swinging. However, Bill
Tiffin came through with a clean sin
gle to left centre to score Doran.
Gurney then hit into a double play,
Magwood to Brown.
The Braves got back into the game
With four runs in the fifth. Sinclair

A FRIEND OF MINE told me that in his twenty-
five years of active sailing, canoeing and power-boating
in a large boat club of over a thousand members, no
man had ever been lost or even seriously injured. I
asked him for the explanation and he replied that it
was “because of the great courtesy that exists on the
water between one sailor and another—a courtesy and
comradeship that makes boating so highly enjoyable”.
“Sailors and their ships,” he said, “are one big happy
family and one grand fleet.”

Wingham Hurons started
down the long play-off trail on the
right foot by beating Hanover on the
latter’s home diamond last Wednes
day by a 5-3 score. The game was
close and interesting all the way, sev
eral lengthy arguments with the um
pires enlivening proceedings a lot. All
the arguing was done by the home-
towners, the Hurons fortunately be
ing on the right side of all the close
decisions. The Tribe got all the
breaks but you can't blame a team
for capitalizing on them. It is unfor
tunate that real outstanding umpires
cannot be hired for the finals but none

And I thought what a truly great and life-saving
achievement it would be if we could inspire motorists
to think of, and act towards, each other in the same
kindly and considerate way as sailors do!
• If, instead of embarrassing each other by selfish
and inconsiderate driving, motorists would “try
courtesy”.
• If, instead of regarding and treating the other fellow-
as an enemy warrior in a tank, the motorist would *
regard him as a. friend and “try courtesy”.
• If, instead of heckling each other by horn-blowing,
“weaving” and failing to dip or dim headlights
when meeting, they would show more consideration
for each other.
I ask you to join with me in accomplishing one of
the great tasks of my department — that of making
“courtesy” the new spirit of the road.
Practise and preach the golden rule of the road
show to others the same courtesy that you would,
like to have shown to you”.
You know and I know that it will pay handsomely
by preventing broken bones, wrecked property and
broken hearts.
