Exhaustive tests so far,indicate that the average year's operating cost of the Whippet should save -- owners from $75 to $150 in gas, oil, tires, and mechanical upkeep. It cuts operating cost just about in half. The Whippet is so designed that it can be driven at high speeds for hour after jiour with no overheating or other injury to the motor. It is a flexible speed—you can pickup from'.. to 30 miles an hoar in l3 seconds. That means faster traffic -driving. -The Whippet takes you in and out of. traffic -holes in a hurry. It is a solution to present- day traffic problems. Its centre of gravity is extremely low, with ample road clearance . thus giving a sense of security you have never. found in any light car. Something you actually feel when you drive this car. Turn a 90 -degree corner in any other light car at 30 miles per hour and. -then turn the same corner at the same speed in a Whippet. You'll see the difference: you'll have a feeling of safety in the Whippet that you didnot have in the other ears.

The conversation of tlietty, who is eight, reported in the Lutheran, tends to confirm the statement. Betty's uncle, who is a school tea- cher, „met her on the street one beau- tiful May day, and asked her if she. was going out with the Maying' party. "Na, I ain't going." "0 my dear," said her uncle, "you. inmost not say 'I ain't going.' You must say,.'I'm not going'," and he proceed- ed to give her a little lesson in gram- mar: "You are not going. Be is not going.

Macbeth of the Milver- ton Sun, a man of wide experience in educational matters, who occupies an important office in the Ontario Edu- cational Association, has recently been compiling some statistics for his readers and remarks that it may be interesting to know that in` our population of nine million people there is a pupil army of 2,228,869: en- rolled in the educational institutions of the country, according to the latest figures reeeived front the annual sur•' vey of education issued by the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics. This in- cludes 277,816 adult pupils, taking 16 years as the adult age, of whom '71,- 547 are attending night technical and other evening schools, and 43,295 the regular extension, short and corres- pondence courses 'in our universities and colleges. Teachers- number 02,- 000 and there is recorded a note- worthy decrease in the -number of en- trained teachers and those with lower grade certificates. While there has been a falling off in attendance in such branches as agriculture, botany, drawing and practical subjects in non vocational schools there has been a steady increase in undergraduate courses in arts.: County News WALTON: A number -of Walton people journeyed over to Moncrieef on Friday evening' to hear the debate given in the United Church, between Moncrief and Walton Young People's'. Socities. The .debate was,•resolved "that Eastern Canada offers greater opportunities than Western Canada." The affirmative was. upheld by two of the Walton young people, Gilbert McCallum and Miss -Gertrude Miller,, Mod the negative by Miss Katie How- ard and Stewart McQuarrie. _ The splendid tact and ability shown in the material that was delivered'. by those clever debaters deserve great praise and credit. The affirmative won out by a small margin. WALTON: John Smith, who re- sides on the 10th Concession of Me- Iiillop, diedvery suddenly Sunday evening.

Now•the council all but one and a majority of the rate- payers of Bayfield evidently thought different, I was elected reeve and three of the council were elected coun- cilmen on the stand that if elected, we would act upon the petition signed by practically all the • progressive people asking the council -to seek this legislation. Your first correspondent said "considerable discussion took place in the privatebills committee.". Now, there was practically no discus- sion, and it carried unanimously. The only thing said `was that Government thought that next year', there may be an "avalancheof similar bills pre- sented," showing that they saw that it was an advanced step, and other places would be anxious to follow our lead. I would like to know if time Citi- zen that is so much concerned about Hydro is doing anything to promote -it. He says the farmers will not take it as it is too expensive: Where doee. he get his,ainformation? In 1924 a canvass was made in Goderichtown- ship and in Bayfield and sufficient contracts signed, the farmers at $6:20 pet month and the Bayfield subscrib-- er.s at $1.90 per month. Now the. same contracts can be obtained at $4.75 and $1.80 per month. Now it does ' not seem reasonable he me that the. peo- ple would object to the rates when they have been lowered,'' It was also( said we were left as "a foundling" on the doorsteps of the townships, Well somefoundlings are mighty well. taken care` of, especially when they are as beautifel as Bayfield is. So I guess we need have no fear on that score, And we, as a council, have enough confidence in,. the township councils to believe that they are there to serve the people and will be only• too pleased to do the right thing for Bayfield. Sincerely yours, i ' —E. F` MERNER, Reeve. (Few people but will admit that it will be a great thing for Bayfield to have Hydro, andwe all sincerely hope it will opine very soon. Nevertheless, it is but natural that the older 'citi- zene of Bayfield, the sons and daugh- ters and grandchildren of the first settler`s, should feel, regret at losing its place,' as' an, independent municipality, with; a voice at the county, council. ' It doesn't take much' imagination to, appreciate, their pet- /nes. Sentiment is strong In the human makeup, even though it has to give 'way before progress.—Ed) Constance ,0w.'

As such action might only re- sult in another valuation being made which would be equally unsatisfac- tory the council was called together, to talk the' matter•over and see what. could be done. After a good deal of. discussion. Reeve Trewartha of Clin- ton moved, seconded by Reeve Hub- bard of Howick, that a committee be appointed to meet the valuators, take. the matter up with them and repent to the council the following day. This was done, the committee consisting of Reeves Beattie, ,Sealorth; McKib- ben, Wingham McQuaid,.McIiillop; Ingles, Howicks Hill, Colborne: Bess, Stephen, and Kerner, Bayfield. This committee met with the urians= tors on Wednesday evening and again Thursday morning, presenting a re- peat. which was finally unanimously adopted, Reeve McNabb of, Grey :made sonic objection but when.' the vote was called for by Mr. Trewartha, who was inthe chair, he did not vote against it. The committee divided the twenty-six municipalities of the county -in three_ classes. In- the Cast of the ten' urban municipalities, whose assessments. were 'in most cases considerably ,increased`•under the new equalization adopted in Jan- uary, the committee recommended that theincrease be reduced by fifty per cent. In the cases of the town- ships of Goderieha Howick, Mullett, •Turnberry and Tuckersmith; whose assessments were reduced by the val- uators. It was recommended that the valuations 'remain as fixed in Jenu- ary; and with reference to there- maining townships the committee's recommendation was that the increase over the old assessment be reduced by thirty per cent: With, an adjustment' in the value - ,tion of the village of Wroxeter, which Sunworthy and Maxima Wallpapers Sold and hung by EAVEREIi L, JOHNSTON Londeshoro, Ont, Bax 23 Please send in your' requests 'for one to make your order . week before you want me. 01-tf-ill, Clinton ..
