Speed. is Costly
It is not generally known that the
faster an automobile travels the
greater the consumption of gasoline,
but such appears to be the case.
Thirteen kinds of cars were tested
to ascertain if that fact applied to
them all. The American Automo-
bile .Association gives the following
as the result of tests made: 30 miles,
an hour, 18 miles per gallon; 60
miles an hour, 12.6 miles per gallon;
80 :miles an hour, 8.6 miles per gal-
lon. Oil consumption is seven times
as great at 55 miles per hour as at
30 miles an hour.

CARD OF THANKS
Zurich, January 7, 1936
Dear Mr, Editor:
I wish to convey through
the medium of your press, my sincere
thanks 'to all the electors that have
supported me.
I congratulate Mr. A. 1Vfelick for
his splendid victory. Also my sincere
good wishes to our Council,
(Signed) David Ducharme.
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Ducharme, Sr.,
about a mile north of St. Joseph on
the Blue Water Highway, when a
few of their friends gathered and
congratulated them on .their long
married life together. Oscar Duch-
arme, .Sr., was born in Lower Canada
87 years ago, and at the age of eight
years moved with his parents to the
French Settlement, on Lake Huron,
at that time there was no roads cut
through the vergin forest, the early
settlers following the Indian trail
down from Goderich. His parents
settling -on a farm : which they were
obliged to hew out of the dense for-
est, as the timber was very heavy a-
long this fertile tract of land. Mr.
•Ducharme knows all about pioneer
life and loves to recall many old re-
minances for the long ago. Mrs. Du-
charme's maiden name was Jane
Wilson and was born and raised a-
bout 40 rods from where they now
are living. She is 77 years of age,
and lived in the neighborhood all but
a short time when she was at Grand
Bend. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ducharme
are enjoying very good health for
a couple their age, and hardships
they have come through. They were
married in the little Mission R. C.
church which stood very close to the
now fine St. Peter's Church, in the
year 1874, by Father Maitron Moran
a Missionary Priest from Goderich,
who came down once a month to
the Mission, at this time there were
no roads, just the original trail. Mr.
and Mrs. Ducharme who are the old-
est living couple in the parish, have
had an 'admirable married life to-
gether, having lived there all these
gears and watched the steady pro-
gress of civilization and in recent
years when the mechanical age was
-ushered in. This happy old couple is
blessed with three sons and three
?daughters living at present. They are
Fred, William, and Oscar Ducharme
all of the Blue Water Highway, and
the daughters, Mrs. David Geromette
Mt Carmel, Mrs. Sol. Williams, of
Seaforth and Mrs. Barnum Hartman
of Thedford. There are arso 63
grand children and 84 great grand
children.

ly recommended,.
Zurich public school re -opened on
Friday after the holidays. The High
Schools in the community opened on
Monday of this week. Personally,
we cannot see what good that one
day of school did the pupils after
the vacation. But we are told that
this is entirely managed by the pub-
lic school Inspector, and he ruled
school open and it had to be so re-
gardless of what the trustees or any-
one else thought. It seems that
gradually the old democracy that we
enjoyed for many years is gradually
slipping away from the common peo-
ple.
