While service stations are constant- ly improving their services and cense - meetly their chances of securing and holding, the good will of the motoring public, it should be said that the motorists' lack of faith in the service- ing ability of some stations has not been without considerable reason. Numerous managers in alis repair business have failed to'appreciate the value of having -trained experts In their employ. They can hardly expect ear owners to have 'supreme Confi- dence in their prescriptions unless they insist on employing only those technicians who by their experience -cud training are worthy of the respect of the automobilist: It is also important for the owner to seek the advice of an expert at the first indication of trouble instead_ of ,puttingg off this 'procedure until the ma- chine has gone into a decline or until it has; in fact, reached a serious state of trouble. When suck a policy is fol- lowed repair Bills are not likely to be larger in the long run. There is a tendency for an owner • ignorantly to complain about the size of his repair bills • and to condemn the repair shop owners as pirates. In spite of this feeling on the part of many, as Capt.

" It is an axiom among sales man- agers that the only successful sales man is the one who is completely sold on the line`; he is handling.

Are -we as Canadians - completely sold an the advantages of Canada us a home; dowe appreciate the fact that- Canada in the fifty-eight years since Confederation has tripled,. her population, eiotwitl stancii'rg that the war and `post war years deducted ten years from her period of growth. This in itself is something to be proud of, and is a record for growth. In ' 1910• 'Canada's exports were $298,763,998 and in 1924 -hey were valued at $1,070,611,616.

In 1910 our mjinufactur'ed products were valued at $1,165,975689,, and in 1923. at -$2,696,210000.

T4iroughout our earthly days, what we call success and whet we consider happiness 'depend a great deal on our putting the right words inthe right Places', Sometimes, written or spoken, language seems a hopeless, -misfit; le- i mentably inadequate to meet the situa- tion. On the other hand, there are for- tunately constituted mortals for whom legions sof words, at .a summons,,are ready to arise, and ,obey -the bidding, with felicity. There is in most human beings the ineradicable spirit' of curiosity, of ex- ploration and` of, competition, which the ruling- craze for the cross -word puzzle seeves•., to illustrate.
