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. r Do You Need Glasses? .Stop and Think howithpar%t it is that you wear correct le/asses—cor- rectly lasses—correctly prescribed for unser vIola.

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.

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.
