Sensational Sales Increase, evidence of approval Thousands of business men, salesmen, farmers, school­ teachers, business women, have bought new Dodge cars , . . Shipments of 1937 Dodge cars are more than double the same period a year ago—and the flood of orders continues. Delighted Dodge owners are telling others about the amazing Dodge economy—21 to 27 miles on a gallon of gas, they say, and savings up to 20% on oil! And there are additional savings on tires, lub­ rication and upkeep. Think of the rare combination of extra-value, expensive-car features that a new 1937 Dodge will give you ...

Several times in this column we have mentioned the fact that many motorists do not pay much attention to certain stop signs about the. town. Lately we have noticed that the stop signs at certain corners do not mean a thing to many people. These stop signs are not erected to be disre­ garded but are for the purpose of making our streets as safe as poss­ ible. People who fail to observe the regulations cannot object if the of­ ficials lay a charge against them for infractions of the traffic laws. Now that spring is here traffic will increase and children will be playing about and it is up to the motorist to have a care. Drive carefull, ob­ serve traffic regulations and thus help to avoid accidents. 4c 4: * * BLIND GIRL WON SCHOLARSHIP At the Musical Festival held in Stratford a blind girl from Brantford, i function proper- s, instead of be- owed to pollute So often we read or hear of a per­ son making a success of something i or other, who, though handicapped to nu pioduc-‘a great extent, struggle on to suc- cess. i Adversity to many is an excuse for I quitting but for others it is the means I of bringing them success as they will : not let an obstacle deter them in » their ambitions. ’ SC 4« 4s 4i There is an agitation in Goderich to do away with the beverage rooms.

In their course they struck a post at the rear of Miss Mary Struthers’ residence. Mr. McDonagh was thrown wagon. The neck-yoke and trees were broken, the horses separated, one turning out Havelock street and continuing south, and the other to Rev. McDonald's, to Wilfred Anderson's field and through D. C. McMorran’s, on to the road­ way again and into John McDonald’s breaking down fences as it continued its wild course. It was finally caught by Tom McDonald. The other horse, which stopped near the flax mill was caught by Mr. McDonagh himself, who, although severely shaken up and bruised was able to look after his team.
