A.x.d its tremendous endurance results in un- paralleled length of life, which in turn, is expressed in consistently high resale value. More important reasons for the selection of any car have never been found. • That's why ever- iancreasing thousands are choosing the Pontiac Six . why Pontiac sales for 1928 are far ahead of previous records. r-n.e.zoo 4sk your dealer about the G.M.,4.C.

GEO. `:MASON'S TRIP Vancouver, .At use 1,• 1928 Editor Advance -Times; At Field .in the midst of the most important part of the Rockies we hop aboard the Imperial' Limited of the C. P. R. This train, I judge, will be second only to the Trans -Canada, which is an oil -burner, while in the former we get the smoke. These trains are luxurious, having• all con- veniences and comforts, making tra- velling certainly enjoyable. When the weather is favorable an open ob- servation car is provided at end, next forward is a closed car with large windows for observation purposes, while for supreme comfort is a par- lor car and at bed -time a comfortable "bunk." So why stay at home when you can have a darkey to wait upon you? The night train from this point is preferable as the trip is more in- teresting from Sicamous which is reached in the morning. 'The •con- ductor told us a yarn in connection with the origin of the name. "A cou- ple of fellows started out to hunt moose n the mountains once upon a time, but had no luck, finally at the. end of the day they beheld before them the beautiful lake here, when one exclaimed. "I'm sick of moose (Sicamous)-take it for what it is worth. It is a beautiful lake among the mountains and from this body of'wat- er the Thompson River flows for a- bout 150 miles finally joining the Fraser River to the Pacific at New Westminster. This part of the jour- ney occupying the greater portion of the day •is most interesting, as you know, •nothing. but River, Rocks little Islands, Water falls, towering moun- tains, cascades, snake -like tracks, tun- nels and etc„ when we finally reach the beautiful city of Vancouver at •8 Stopping here for a day or two, a beautiful C. P. R. Princess Steamer is boarded for Victoria, a four hour run of splendid scenery, stopping here for two hours, we push on to Seattle, `85 miles, arriving in daylight so that we have an excellent nt view of city and harbor. Passing the customs seemed more a matter of form than anything except that the officer con -I fiscated the only orange we had on the trip'l-fruit is dutiable,- I imag- ine he thought we looked like Christ- ians and found no bottles, so let us through easy. Now what shall I say about this great city? In the first place it has one of the best situations to be found anywhere on this old globe of aurs. About 150 miles from the ocean -proper, a natural salt wat- er 'harbor, requiring no dredging whatever, the mountains in view on every hand •exoept entrance, Another unique feature about this city is, that it has also a fresh water harbor as well, at the east side of the city. A- bout two Miles franc •salt water is sake ciiVasliington, a pretty body of water 18 miles long and four and a half at widest point. There is also a smaller lake connected by canal with this ,one, these two lakes are used for shipping by medium of a large lock making connection between the two •bodies of ,salt and fresh water, ;this (extensive piece of masonry cost over two and a •quarter .millions. Such a circumstance of a city having two kinds of water to sail upon in city limits cannot be found :elsewhere as far as I know of. This city is well built, many noble sky scraper, business blocks of great size, retail stores galore, many of theni selling specialties, for instance, selling nuts exclusively. Perhaps if they had a few of us "old nuts" the store would be complete. Another I noticed was a "puzzle and game". store and another kind particularly. in evidence were tobacco shops where they advertised extensively the chew- ing end of it, personally I would rath- er they would chew the rag -or gum..' In the store line I would mention. the Icon -Marche, 'which' is great and as far as I can judge, the .place ..has been added to by taking in other ad- jacent buildings having different floor levels causing an tip and down ex- perience in going from one depart- ment to another. To• make it more up to the times and to down the other fellow they conceived the brill- iant idea of purchasing a complete block covered with buildings, tearing thein down, and are now engaged in erecting a mammoth edifice to cost three and a half millions, Giant build- ings are going up all around the com- mercial part of the city. Today it has 500 thousand and my idea is that h Will • soon• have the million mark, as it has the geographical position, in w1NGHAM AD'it'4NCF-TIMES Thursday, August 1,(ith,1928' STEPHENSON'S .BEAUTIFUL FIERY DIAMONDS l�Tew .Style artistically designed mountings an Green or White Gold Only $37.50 Yes, unusual value, a blazing brilliant diamond that is full of life and lustre offere;i at sensa- tionally low price.

Watch Inspector Jewelers and Optometrists being the principal U. S. port to the Orient, Japan and Alaska At this time in the harbor are a- bout nine TJ'. S. battleships, the public being allowed to view if they so de-' sire: About 8,000 men are given a brief holiday here, the boys being met at every step on the, streets. Oh such a shame, bright young fellows kept at the expense of the nation and what for? To police the world and kill if needs be. How far have we advanced in Christianity :and civiliza- tion? Not very far, when wiU right- eousness cover the face of the Earth? I don't .think T. can tell you a great .deal about the formation of this place, I know this, it -is a great city to have that tired feeling in; when you come aback to the hotel for bed you wonder what is the matter with your legs, it takes quite an effort to put one on top of' the other. Oh the .awful hills and dales, the ladders, steps, slopes, and •climbs here, there, and every- where, ,Itseeialn everlasting .cli irb from the bock to Lake Washington about two :miles; 1 fancy if I had to stop here T would not live out half my .days without a motor car. I see people on the avenue who want to get to the one above, stall and have to back down again and make another go of it to so e, other point of less resistance. The avenues, running parellel with the water are comparatively level but in order to get from one to the other you have to climb or slide as the case may be. Yes, it is a very interesting city and worthy of a week bumming around. The motor trip around Lake Washington is fine, Volunteer Park is worthy of -mention, with its wealth of flowers, sliurbs trees, conservatory and large tower from which you have the best view in the city and vicinity obtainable and which •costs nothing my mounting the spiral stairway. Again we have Woodland Park and oo, without charge. The other and ast place we struck was University lid Campus, 341 acres, containing 62 uildings, One of special note which would like you to see, the Library, f very ornate construction made much like a' cathedral, apparently a - out 300 feet long, about 75 to 90 oot celiirg, walls lined with books of many thousands,' the floor covered with tables and seats filled almost with students, there are 7,500 of such ere. It 'neay be many years before ds place is fully finished as the tow r, .I am told, will be about 500 feet igh!-This building to the is not o interesting as an old Forestry uilding, erected in 1909 when the laska. Exhibition was held here. It built entirely of logs and I think ithout any metal whatever entering in its composition. It is, 312 feet rig ,-128 feet wide, 90 feet high, 300 iousand shingles used, 126 iriain col- mns, height of each from 42 to 54. et, diameter of each log from 5 to feet 6, average weight, 25. tons each rd east $85,000. It was built only r the Exhibition but by request as left standing for show purposes, e public are not allowed in, much my sorrow. This is a huge build - g erected eptirely of logs' and hewn tuber and the pity of it is that it ill have to come down as there is Itch evidence of decay, so we are ept out. While here we took in the first' resbyterian Church ,' This is also orthy of note from the fact of its Bing so different in construction om anything perhaps you have ever en, Many large stone pillars o,t'-the ' side supporting the roof, the build - 0 a b 1 0 b f• •h tI e h S b A is w i to tl u fe 6 at fo w th to in ti 4C! n F w b fr se 1"nom ,, ing being oval in shape,, and shall I say egg- shaped, Rill gallery, large choirloft, organ, - with 't ituir of four, voices!

I don't know how these old ducks pull through unless they gut things short and come to a quick benediction. The money collectors marched up like : a corporal's guard, for it took a lot of them to cover the ground as the place holds 3,000 people, the church, T should judge having about 2000 on that occasion. I noticed also the or- ganist played orrang the chimes from t1}ekeyboard of the orga,n which was new to me. A fellow gets a lot of eye openers buzzing around the coun- try. I don't know whether there are many churches here or not, I didn't see diem on street corners like drug stores and restaurants. I came to the conclusion that they haven't room for .them here as they might crowd out some other useful institutions. I, shouldn't judge this is a very spiritual oi; Godly' community, how can it be so in these latter days? Please read Timothy second, third chapter ,first to five. Geo.' Mason. THOSE WHO FIND FAULT A Kansas county editor has discov- ered that when a man finds fault with his local newspaper, tento one he hasn't an advertisement in it, three to one he is delinquent in his sub- scription, and even money that he never did anything to assist the pub- lisher to make it a good . paper and, forty to one that he is anxious to see it when it comes out. To which might be added a hundred to one that he makes the biggest threats when he demands • that his name be kept out of the police court proceedings. - Woodstock Sentinel -Review. OLD -AGE PENSIONS' COME INTO EFFECT The Manitoba Government today, by Orded-in-Council, brought into ef- fect the Old -Age Pension Act, passed at the last session of the Provincial Legislature. Beginning on Sept. 1st,. pensioners whose applications have been approved by the Manitoba Worken's Compensation Board will receive the stipulated pension of $20 a month. It is reported' that 3,000 persons have already made , application for a pension. It is estimated that $300, 000, will be required for the initial, levy. An persons wbo have attained' 70 years, and who have resided in Canada for twenty years, five in Man- itoba, qualify for a pension, Isaac Hold of Mitchell, is a reran who does not look for newspaper pu- blicity, but when he has•so many im- portant anniversaries, it is hard to avoid it. In addressing the United Church Sunday 'Schdol on Sunday morning, he said that today was his fifty-sixth anniversary as' a Sunday school secretary and that in attending Sunday school conventions he had travelled over thirty thousand miles.
