C. 'Noss, o£ Goderich, on "China as we saw it 25 years ago." Dr. Boss, a popular physician at Blyth and Miss. Aima Taylor, alsoof ::.Lyth, were married at dawn 25 years ago and left on the early morning train on their honeymoon enroute far China as missionaries. 1'pifrtunately they were only able to stay about two years owing to the contracting of a malignant dis-, ease by Mrs. Ross, which forced them to return. Dr. Doss later took up practice at Baden which became so large that his health necessitated retire- ment. After living at Blyth for a time, they are now making their home in Goderich. Dr. Ross gave a vivid description of their three months' trip to China. The great evils-of.China, he said, are the war lords who grind the people down to abject poverty. Millions never know what it is to have enough to eat. Taxes in some instances have had to be paid 21 - years ahead. That is why China has grasped at Communism. It is their only way of survival. One commendable custom among the Chinese is that all elderly people must be honored and taken care of. There is no insanity in China owing probably to their easy going ways.

Last year, for example, automobile insurance claims amounted to more then one hundred million dollars- a motor car was smashed every two minutes and someone was injured or killed every 12 minutes. When the costs of automobile accidents decrease, so do automobile insurance rates. But, when the number and cost of adcidents increase, then insurance rates increase too. Drive carefully!
