The Session was also notable be- cause the attitude of the Russians be- came more co-operative than in the past, and they showed more respect for the Assembly. Disappointing features of the session were the failure to take any positive stand against the misuse of the veto, and the weak motion re- conimending a general diplomatic breach-with Spain. • S all1111=111111111111111111.11111311111.1 f)trebp Ztbmitfi 111.41/4,/teari/ mad cYJJOCE;(1/thib IF Please return empty beer bottles to yotir neattatf Brewers' Retail Store or phone for piciong service.

We desire to render them this public recognition of their services, and our grateful thanks.—Yours, W. G. Howson.

Mr. Ray Lawson of London, will succeed Mr. Matthews as Lieutenant-Govern- or. His selection was announced re- cently by Prime Minister King, Hon. Albert Matthews ably upheld the tra- ditions of the office for nine years. Mr. Lawson has long been promi- neat as an industrialist, whose inter- ests have ranged far beyond his native city. He has taken an active interest in philanthropic and educational pro- jects, principally in connection with the University of Western Ontario. "With the able co-operation of Mrs. Lawson, the traditions of the high post will be ably and faithfully maintained by Mr, Lawson, He should prove a worthy successor to such distinguish- ed Lieutenant-Governors as Colonel , Harry Cockshutt, Hon. W, D. Ross, Hon, Herbert A. Bruce and Hon. Al- bert Matthews. / v * UN PROGRESS The United Nations Assembly has adjourned after an eight-week session in New York, the first to be held on American soil. Some progress has been made in that the delegations are getting to know each other better and show ,s ome signs of mutual trust. Un- der the skilful and brilliant guidance of chairman M. Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium, efficient methods of proced- ure and rules of debate are being worked out. The Assembly is becom- ing more capable as a world forum. The most dramatic achievement of the session was the step taken toward disarmament. The Assembly agreed to a resolution embodying several re- volutionary proposals. All States will cut armaments and armed forces ac- cording to an agreed plan; the Seem- An outstanding feature was the final choice of New York.as UN headquart- ers, accepting the splendid site Offered by John D. Rockefeller. Four new members of UN were elected, Iceland, Sweden, Afghanistan and Siam. Eight trusteeship agreements were accepted, but the future status of the Pacific Is- lands and Palestine remains unsettled. WEEKLY THOUGHT Time, and matter, as we know them, began "In the Beginning" of . this world or universe. None of us believe that something can come from nothing, nor that the greater can come from the lesser. How 'vast, timeless and won- derful must be the IGodland of which our universe is a new and minute part! If one star had been made each night since our world began, that would only account for a few of the stars in our universe. How appallingly large and marvellous must be the sour- ce of our universe! KNOW WINGHAM Now that the distant landscapes are unhidden by the foliage of trees, it is possible to see many picturesque views. A stroll to the end of almost any street is worth while to see the scenes that are presented at this season of the year. For instance, north-west, across the "Pond," the terrain rises sharply in the distance, and buildings and farm homes can be seen that were hid- den all summer. * r * RED LAKE ROAD At last the thriving mining commun- - ity of Red Lake, consisting of a fair' sized town and a number of gold mines which have produced some $48,000,- 000.00 gold since 1929, has been linked with the outside world by a through road. The district was discovered as rich in gold and other minerals in 1925; and since that time all food, mining supplies arid equipment, gold and passengers had to be transported. either by water in summer, tractor trains over the ice in the winter or by air. Several thousand people live in the progressive town of Red Lake and sur- rounding mining camps in this district of North-western Ontaorio, which lies, by road,' 1.65 miles north of Vermillion Bay on the Trans-Canada Highway. This southern terminus of the new road is linked by an existing highway to Quibell on the C,N,R, Previously it took two days and two' nights to cover the 200 miles of land and water route to Red Lake from the railway, The view road was built in the record time of six months and at' a cost of $3,000.000.00. Thus, at long last, the 'town and raining district of Red Lake get road facilities and reas- onable freight rates, Freight shipments had cost $100.00 per ton by air, $40.00 by winter trans- port and $20.00 a ton by water. The new road will cut the costs to $5,00 per ton and save more than $800,000:00 year on the district's present freight bills. "What ate you doing withyout socks on the wrong side out?"
