Moreover, people have a better opinion of the man who stands by his own beliefs and convictions - without being opinionated, narrow-minded or queer.The popularity he enjoys may not be so widespread but, being based on respect, it is much to be preferred. • By the same token, it never pays to act in any foreign to our real nature. Trying to be someone or something we'renot, bluffing, pretend- ing we like something we dis- like these and all other at- tempts to create misleading impressions put us under a strain. And this, in turn, dis- torts our personalities in a way that does not win friends and influences nobody. So never imitate the cha- meleon or the ostrich. Al- ways be yourself! When a life insurance agent talks enthusiastically about rhe advantages of life insur- ance he is not just repeating what others say: He speaks from his own sincere convic- tion that there is no easier, more dependable way to pro- vide protection for depend- ants and income for future needs. ra... r79 HENSALL Regular meeting of the Village Councilheld this evening after the Court of Revision on the Assessment Roll of 1949 which was closed at 9.05 p.m. with all members. being present, Minutes of the previous meeting read.

A well-known sports figure and a former hockey referee, Tom Mon- roe, saw his first recent N.ILL. gam}e some time ago. He' states that he doesn't know what has happened to the ice game in the past few years. The only thing about the game which he saw which resembled hock- ey was the fact that the players wore skates. He is amazed that such a poor excuse for hockey continues to draw crowds. That . is why many sports fans prefer to watch Junior 'A' hockey. There the boys at least try. to save some of the rudiments of the sport. N.H.L. hockey is now merely a dressed -up version of shinny. We al- ways get a bang out of reading that someone scored a goal on a beauti- ful "screened shot". A screened shot results when 10 players get scrambled and piled up in front of or near the net and one of them takes a wild bat at the rub- ber. This is the most potent scoring play in pro hockey, so you get an idea of how much science there now is in the game.

During the year ended September 30, 1948, the Central attained a new record of volume at 38 million dollars and'netted 350 thousand dollars of earnings. - g Locals will find their Central of increasing value both in wholesaling and manufacturing Co-op Brand farm supplies and consumer goods and as a central marketing service for a number of major farm products.

Therefore, it is vitally important that all con- sumers -industrial, commercial, domestic and rural -be constantly on the alert to avoid all, unnecessary use of electricity. Your co-operation in the past has helped. Here are a few sugges- tions as to how you can continue to help. Turn off all unnecessary lights. Do not leave lights burning in empty rooms, hails, basement, attic, porch and garage. At the evening study or reading hours, group the family around the reading lamp and turn off other tights. Replace targe Tight bulbs with smaller ones. Where water is electrically heated, use hot water sparingly. Watch the switches on your range, your iron and other appliances. Turn them off as quickly as possible. Often the stored heat will finish the jobs. Use "High" heat for as short a time as possible for cooking or for boiling wafer. Don't let motors on motor -driven equipment run needlessly in horse or factory. In factory, store or office, don't tight a row or cluster of overhead lights when a single light nearby will do. Do your part to cut down on electrkity : nd keep pay envelopes full. THE HYDRO -ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO 1 4 J 4 4 4
