■TRY COURTESY
What is courtesy? An act of civil
ity and respect What better slogan
could be found for the motorists of
this* province. Last year the Minister
’of Highways, Hon. T. B. McQuesten,
■conducted a campaign under the slog- j
an “Try Courtesy.” He received sup-!
port from newspapers, radios, and or
ganizations jn his effort to stem thej
tide of ever-increasing motor accid-j
ents. He did not get the support of;
those who drive cars and trucks asi
the record of accidents will show. ■]
The motoring public are the ones ■
who can make our highways safer]
than they have been. Accidents will]
increase, as traffic will be greater all]
the time, unless there is more cc«ur~|
tesy shown by every motorist toward I
■every other motorist. «
This year again the Department of:;
Highways are urging the motoring 5
public to “Try Courtesy” and the vast
"majority of people will, no doubt, co
operate but the few who do not have
a heavy responsibility to carry as they
will be mostly responsible for the
•death and accident toll on our high-
•ways. Do not be one of them. “Try
Courtesy.”
The speed limit on our highways
Las been increased from 35 to 50
■wiles per hour but this increase in
■the speed limit should not affect the
number of accidents as nearly all the
*< drivers failed to observe the 35-mile
limit when it was in force.
Courtesy is the thing that will re
duce accidents. Try it

REFORESTATION IS
IMPORTANT '
It has been stated that the Domin
ion Government is planning to dis
continue all forms of dole. The idea
is to put all to work and thus the
country will receive benefit for mon
ies spent on relief. This will also be
a great benefit to those who get the
work. A person who is out of work
for a long period gets rusty and un
able to do his best when the oppor
tunity comes.
Canada requires a great deal of
■work to be done that will benefit the
country in future years. Reforestation
is one thing that could be done on a
large scale and which in future years
-would increase our wealth. We have
vast tracts of land suitable for this
purpose and now would be the time
I to start such a project on a large
! scale.
j Trees planted along our streams
I and low ground to help hold the
| moisture would save great expendi-
. ,| tores in the future. Reforestation is
very important and at the rate we
are depleting -nr forests it is neces
sary to make replacements if we are
to continue supplying lumber, trees,
j etc., as we have in the past.
| The idea of supplying work instead
| of d-de is a good one but we hope
I reforestation will be a part of the
’ program.

GREAT MEN QUIT OFFICE
j Two great men, during the last
I week, have laid aside the responsjbil-"
| ity of office in the Old Land. Prime
| Minister Baldwin has given up his of-
Ifice, and we sincerely believe that he
I retired at the height of his great pop-
•ularity. Even those who oppose him
‘politically never doubted his sincer-
ity of purpose. The Empire knows
* and feels they have lost a great man,
| one who has helped to make Britain
15 a great force for good and fair play.
Ramsay MacDonald, twice Labor
Prime Minister, who formed the Na
tional Government in 1931, has also
| quit. From a poor Scottish boy he
rose to the highest office in the coun-
j try. He was an idealist who through
his years in office strived to have
peace among the nations of the world.
The Government of Great Britain
has truly lost two great men but both
will go down in history as men who
have given great service to Great Bri
tain and the Empire. May the deefin-
| ing years of their life be happy and
peaceful.

ONE of the best things about Chevrolet
quality is the way it saves you money
on gas, oil and upkeep—-and assures you
of higher “trade-in” value later on.
For instance, the quality design of Chev
rolet’s Valvedn-Head Engine saves you as
much as 10% on operating costs! Knee-
Action, on Master De Luxe models, saves
you dollars on “tightening-up”—because it
cushions the car, as well as the passengers,
against the pounding of rough roads, The
Unisteel Turret Top Bodies by Fisher are
solidly built to “stand up”, without develop*
ing annoying rattles and squeaks.
From perfected Hydraulic Brakes to gen
uine Fisher No-Draft Ventilation, Chevrolet
is every inch a quality product—famous for
dependability! See it and drive it yourself
,.. listen to what owners say ... and you’ll
never be satisfied with less!
