ICINLOSs About fifty of the neighbors and acquaintances met on Friday evening, March 31st, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Taylor, in order to express in a pleasant way their appreciation of the step taken by their son, Ross, in offering his service for his country. Ross was called forward and the follow- ing address was read which expressed the feelings of the people: - Dear Ross -It seems too hard to interrupt the uniformity of this meeting with this reading, but there are tunes when we must express the thoughts of our hearts. Our sorrow consists in the fact that you are leaving us and no doubt will be missed by your circle of friends. We always found you a true friend and neighbor and we are proud that we can call you a hero who answered the call of King and Country, in order to preserve the honour of the old flag. Although you will perhaps be far distant from us, our thoughts will always remain with you. We ask you to accept this wrist watch from us, not for its intrinsic value but that it may keep fresh in your mind the memory of your friends. It is with a feeling of pride that we bid you farewell, trusting that God will be with you and guard you through your trials and struggles and again bring you home crowned with victory. Ross made a reply which expressed very plainly this appreciation of the kindness shown. ROLL OF HONOR.

Backed by the vast resoerees of his superb organs izatiere and assisted by the best directorial and histrionic talent obtain- able, he has made the screen production of "Carmen" a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Ellatatitaniammananimilionmail=1,2111E1 uauunwunonawuuuiueunurm IIIINIu W111wuiwuurmwrmiwinwuii111MUauunuumwwuuw ueniuwruiarmmiuuiitiiwnwm 11111 a HOWINatall w Canadian F°• rd Car Parts Reduced $147 Per Car Since War Be It is well known that the war has increased the pric lot practically all raw materials, ,r And, although all but $16.88 worth of material that goes into the construction of the Ford car is bought rigli't here in Canada, a high import duty adds its burden to that material that must be bought in the United States, But in spite of increased duty and increased cost, the prices of parts that go to make up a complete Ford car have been decreased $147 since war began. This reduction was made for two reasons. First, because under norrnal conditions, increased quantity pro- duction would have made these lessened prima possible. Second, under abnormal conditions brought about by the war, the executives of this company felt it their duty as loyal British subjects to absorb these taxes of war into their manufacturing casts. This reduction in price of parts is of first importance as a reduction in the cost of service to Ford owners. Prices of Ford spare parts have always been exceptionally low as compared to prices of parts for other cars, and under war time conditions the Ford companymight have with- held, with seeming justice, any reduction in the price of parts in times such as these. .taut the Ford Canadian executives had enough confi- dence in the progress of the Dominion and of the Empire to feel that the future prosperity of the country was suffi- ciently assured to warrant making these reductions. This is improving a service already unrivalled in its efficiency. Ford, the Universal Car, can as ,well be named the Car of Universal Service. Thus the Ford Company has left dollars in the pockets of Ford owners which it might have acquired were it not for its policy, of the best service at the lowest cost. Even the finest piece of mechanism, often through abuse or neglect, sometimes requires attention. The remarkable economy of this Ford service is known to motorists all over the world. In every community of any size in the Dominion there is a Ford dealer who carries a complete stock of parts and whose establishment is in itself a well equipped service tation. A Ford owner, no matter where he drives his c. is never far distant from a Ford service station that ready to give prompt and efficient service in any emer gency that may arise. Moreover, Ford parts, as is the Ford car itself, are standardized and will fit in place in any Ford car to the• thousandth part of an inch. And every Ford dealer, because of this standardization of parts over a number of years, has an expert knowledge of the construction and repair of the Ford ear. There is• absolutely no guesswork in this Universal Service to Ford Owners. Backing up the service afforded by over five hundred Ford dealers are the nine Ford branches located in the nine leading Canadian cities from St. John to Vancouver. In four of these Canadian Cities new branch buildings have been constructed since the war began and are them- selves as large as many automobile factories, They are so completely equipped as to be able to build a Ford car complete. The buildings alone for these four new branches were erected at a cost of over a million dollars. This immense expenditure is another indication of the attitude of absolute confidence in Canadian prosperity that has always been shown by the Canadian Ford execu- tives and that has not been altered in the slightest degree by any war conditions. At the same time that reductions in the price of Ford car parts were made there was also made a reduction in the price of complete car, Twice -on August 1st, 1914 and August 1st, 1915, the price of the Ford ear was reduced by $60--a total reduction of $120 in the price of the car singe the start of the war. This reduction is made on an estimated production of a . definite number of cars for the coming year. Forty thou- sand Canadian Ford cars must be built and sold by, August lst, 1916 in order to warrant this last reduction of $00 in price. • And here is another most emphatic expression of cone fide/ice in Canada. The Ford Canadian executives are-• basing everything on the continued and increasing pros perity of the Dominion. And their judgment is being fully justified. Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited:.
