Youth And Alcoholism , Does your child follow ' the gang? Of course he does. All young people want the approval of their friends and most will drink to win it, Girls as well as boys 'become involved this ways and drink or them is? it. greater” peril than for boys. Young people often drink as a reaction 'from insecurity or a sense o); inferiority.Even a bad ease of acne may leadto drink. And once drinking becomes a habit the trend to alcoholism can begin very early. Louth should know that the age level of Cana- da's alcoholics has changed alarmingly. In 1942 40 percent were under 40. Ten years later, 20 percent were under . 35. This steady lowering of the 'alcoholic. age so concerned the A,A, group in Toronto at a recent convention that they saw fit . to set up a special youth section. It should he stressed continihou'sly that as yet no test has been devised to show which "moderates" will be- come "alcoholics". (adv't) • Huron County Crop Report By H. R.

Day 1 y clay, Chevrolet gains' in popularity valve s . e : e Dramatic Proof of Chevrolet's Success! Just look around you ! On the highways, in the cities and in all the towns and villages across the land — everywhere it's Chevrolet. That's because, consistently, more Chevrolet cars are sold than those of any other manufacturer. And now, to a greater extent than ever before, the 1955 Chevrolet is the favorite of Canadians from coast to coast. This Is Important To You! Because Chevrolet builds so many more cars, each one costs less to make. That's the simple, provable effect of volume production. And this saving is passed• on to you in the form of more value, and more features for the money than you can get ;with any other car on the market, Check the extra features you'get at no extra cost with Chevrolet and see how much extra you would have to pay kr them on other cars. You'll find it amounts to hundreds of dollars. Then compare Chevrolet's price! And you'll know for sure at least one reason why so many more people buy Chevrolet year after year w- especially this year. 045550 YYYInnYYYnYYiYwYn tinronnY,YnluYnn,i'un,hiYYYYAiruiuriiYliYYYYYuiYnuHnuiiYYiniiinYYnlYilYYiiiYlni,nniiiY ... � - 1 _ .-... . .. ntYYniriYYlYYibninfYYiriYYYYOi,iiNuYi,n"YII . __. _ . ___ . yndlnnYYFiilYinnniwYHYYYNrYnrnYYYYYYYiniYYl YiYlYlrl l ' Phone100 SNELL BRCS.
