A Nice New Year's Gift
In case you have not heard about
3t, we would like to tell you that the
Government has presented the mo-
torists of Ontario with, a very nice
and very acceptable New Year's gift.
In previous 'years motor licenses
were good from January first to De-
cember thirty-first, with a few
weeks, more or less, thrown in
for good measure. Under legislation
passed, however, at the last session
of the Legislature, the motor license
year was changed to become effec-
tive in 1939, to correspond with the
Government fiscal year, which ends
on March thirty-first.
All motorists knew and appreciat-
ed that fact, of course. But that is
not all. Announcement wasmade
from 'Toronto on Friday last by. , Mr.
,�. P. Bickell,issuer of motor licenses
for Ontario, that all motor vehicle
licenses and ' driving permits are
good until March thirty-first of this
year.
So while your driver's permit or
chauffeur's license says distinctly
that they expire on December thir-
ty --first, don't you believe it. They,
along with your license plates, are
perfectly good until the end of next
March.
This is one year it did not pay the
Ontario motorist to be forehanded.
Some months ago when the Govern-
ment issued their 1939 license plates
and said they would be good until
March, 1940, it looked such a good
buy that more new license plates
Have been in • evidence before the
close of the year, than have been
seen since license plates became the
fashion. '
Now the old license plates are good •
'for '.fifteen months. The owner will
have to renew them then, of course,
but he will have had the use of that
money anywhere from three to five
months longer than he would have
had if he had taken advantage of
the first Government offer.
•
Sundap Observance
Attorney General Conant inti-
mated to a deputation of clergymen
last week that the Ontario Govern-
ment was considering legislation
with a view to making the Ontario
Sabbath a more pleasurable day than
it is, by law, now supposed to be.
There is no doubt but that the
changing years and the changing
customs of the people in general
have made some of the Sunday ob-
servance laws somewhat ridiculous
in the light of present day practise.
But if there ever was a question that
carried with it two such directly op-
posite points of view; we believe that
question would be the o'ne of Sunday
observance. And if the Attorney -
General, or the Government, have in
contemplation any drastice changes
in the present Act, they will final
plenty of trouble without having to
go out to look for it.
We take it that the object of Sun-
day observance laws was' to ensure
the people of the country a one day
Test out of the seven days of the
week. That is a very necessary in-
surance 'for the physical, mental and
Moral welfare of mankind as all the
worldknows and has known' down
through the ages even if we did not
have Biblical authority for it. '
As far aswe can learn, the Gov-
ernment
overnment has no intention of making
man work seven days a week, but it
would like to make a seven-day week
available for play. Therein lies the
,ilif.iculty as well as the linger to
both the Government and mankind
in gen'e'ral."
Thi contention ie that under the
present laws the rich : man can play
' much as he pleases . on &tinday,
,same lawsprohibit the poor
,ging in any pleasure,
tThat un-
and some larger centres, but any one
who has hadvany experience in pro-
moting athletic sports in the country
districts over a period of twenty
years or more, has become pretty
well convinced that the more facili-
ties for sports that - are provided,
the less the present day youth wants
to play.
As a matter of fact youth to -day is
not so particularly anxious to play
as he is to have some one do his play-
ing for him. Almost every branch
of athletics has been turned into a
commercial enterprise. So much so
that the physical advantages and
the pleasure of sport for sport's
sake is a very secondary considera-
tion to the amount of money that
can be made out of them.
Removing the restrictions from
Sunday observance, in the line of
sports, would open tremendously
profitable avenues for professional
sport promoters. So profitable, in
fact, that there• is more than a pos-
sibility that a great deal of the op-
position one hears so much against
our Sunday laws, is being organized
and thoroughly organized, too, by
professional sport interests.
And that, of course, would only be
the thin edge of the wedge, that
would eventually lead to a wide open
Sunday, an eventuality much more
to be feared than desired. As we
say, the professional sport promot-
ers would profit tremendously by
laws which permitted a continental
Sunday in Ontario, but would the
mental, physical or moral welfare of
the youth, the middle-aged, or the
aged of Ontario, be helped or hinder-
ed -by, such legislation?
That is the real decision, the one
the, Government will have to make
correctly, or we are inclined to the
belief that the people of the Province
will ask some other government to
do it for them.
e
Advertising As It Used To Be
Advertising has become such a
public necessity to -day that we are
rather inclined to look upon it as
something that we have not only
perfected, but invented.
However, it is not that way at all.
Advertising is as old as the ages. No
doubt it took • some advertising be-
fore Eve sold apples to Adam. And
that was quite some time ago.
Still later, but yet, still some time
ago, advertising was commonly prac-
tised by the leading industries, pro-
fessionals and other men and women
of business.
Advertisements of other days
have a somewhat grim aspect to our
modern notions. Take for instance
the. adornment of the dead, and these
advertisements certainly indicate
that there was a time when far more
attention was paid to that than there
is to -day.
It may seem like a mournful occu-
pation, but until the beginning of
the last century it continued to be so
fruitful a branch of industry, and the
materials used for the dressing of
corpses were considered so import-
ant, that Acts of Parliament were
passed in favor of , woollen or linen,
according to which branch of the in-
dustry held the most weight with the
Government, or wh ch branch the
Government thought needed t h e
most encouragement.
Here are some , of the advertising
campaigns carried on by that indus-
try in a former day: First there is
one from Glasgow in 1747: "James
Hodge, who lives in the first close
above the Cross, on the west side of
the High Street, continues to sell
burying crapes, ready made; and his
wife's niece, who lives with him,
dresses dead corpses at as cheap • a
rate as was formerly done by her
aunt, having been educated by her
and perfected at Edinburgh, from
whence she has lately arrived, and
has brought with her the newest and
latest fashions."
And here is another advertisement
in 1789: '`Miss ' Christy Dunlop,
Leopard Close, High Street, dresses
the dead as usual, in the most fash-
ionable manner." And again in
1799: Miss Christian Brown, at her
shop, west side of Hutcheson Street,
carries on the business of making
dead flannels and getting up burial
crapes." .
What a very cheerful and pleasant
ring thele advertisements have to
our PreOnt clay ears, but theyre-

My cousl% Maud, from the city, l
was down ]Here visiting yesterday.
It's a number of years ago since she
lived in the country, and sine she
left Maud has t>ecoarve "citified." It's
rather amusing sometimes, especially
when she begins orating . on the
lamps.
"My word, Phil," she complained
the first evening whew she was here
as the lamps wero being lighted for
the night, "Why don't you get rid of
those old oil lamps. They simply
aren't safe. The smelt of them makes
my (head ache. Why dont you get
the hydro iu here?"
Her head ached. She eouddtn't read
•by such a poor light. Somebody
would have to carry the lamp for her
when she went to the bedroom be-
cause she would be afraid of .letting
it slip and fall•.
It's strange what a few years of
city Life does to some people. Maud's
father, he was my uncle, was hard

When' bedtime came around it was
fun. to fallow Aunt` Elizabeth who
carried a lamp down the long farm--
bouse, corridor so that we could 'all
Make our beds in safety, and not
have an evil stpliit jump out of one
of the shadows at us:
A lamp was permitted for break-
fast, but as soon as the first streaks
of paling light began to seep into the
kitchen the lamp was extinguished.
They were mighty careful about the
light. Every drop of oil was jealous-
ly guarded, and in that way they were
able to go on living quite well until
the day came when they were fairly
well off in the little consmunity.
Maud didn't do much reading by
lamplight when she was a girl. But
now she forgets all that, and is con-
stantly reviling ,me for being so
stingy that I didn't have hydno in-
stalled at our place. She may be
right . . . I may be stingy, but I
am not putting im, hydro until I can
afford it.
The way Maud talks, my eyes and
up in the early days.. Everything had •those of the fa'm'ily will be ruined by
to be watched mighty careful in those this time we get the money for the
days, and; there was na extravagance hydro . . . but we'll take a chance
in the household. When she started
talking about having the hydro in, I
was sorted of tempted to remind her
of the times when even lamps .were
scarce in .her home.
At Uncle Dan's. place they always
bed supper before dark and the dish-
es were done and the chores all set-
tled 'before the winter dusk set in.
Then everyone eat in the kitchen
around the fire and 'talked. Uncle Dan
would smoke his one 'permitted pipe-
ful of tobacco for the day, and after
telling the youngsters a story or two,
and recounting the day's doings with
Aunt Elizabeth, he would doze off to
sleep on the couch.
I went there, to visit for a few days
after Christmas time when I was a
boy. I liked to watch the flickering
firelight from the open ,grate in the
stove . . . arid play Indians and
robbers with Maud in the shadows. I
used to wish in those days that we
ware so rich that we could have a
light in the evening because it was
so much more fun in the dark.

0- Goderich Old Boy On the Air
In 1938 (By S. J. Hungerford, President)
During the past twelve mouths, the
Trans -Canada Air Linos hoe grown
steadily and surely. With the fleet of
planes assembled) and thoroughly test-
ed under Canadian conditions,,, the
staff trained, the ground facilities
gradually taking shape over the trans-
continental route, we are flying on
daily schedules between Montreal and
Vancouver, between Lethbridge and
Edmonton and between Vancouver.
and Seattle. The last-mentioned ser-
vice, which has been in operation for
more than a year, connects the two
cities by two flights daily and carries
passengers as well as mails. Postal
matter is being transported 'by -night
between Winnipeg and the Coast and
by day between Montreal, Ottawa,
Toronto and,- Winnipeg. Our person-
nel is becoming more and more fam-
iliar with' the eastern section' of this
route. We are 'making.a painstaking
study of terrain and weather condi-
tions, and 'such details, as landing
fields and lighting are being careful-
ly developed by the Department of
Transport, with a view to night sche-
dules between Montreal and Winni-
peg. Mr express is carried from
Montreal to Vancouver, between Leth-
bridge and Edmonton, and by ar-
rangement with the Prairie Airways,
from Regina to Saskatoon, Prince
Albert and North Battlelord.
Between April, 1937, when the com-
pany, was incorporated, and the end
of the year, Trans -Canada activities
consisted largely of organization. In
September, 1937, we acquired the Can
adios Airways Limited service be-
tween Vancouver and Seattle and in
that month we began our first com-
mercial operations, with two Electra's.
In the following month, we took de-
livery of three new Electras, ordered
in April. Orders • for four Super El-
ectras wets Marred with the Lockheed
Aircraft Corporation at the same time
and in December six more were or-
dered. 1
Constricts for construction of a
hangar ,and office building at Winni-
peg and for a hangar at Lethbridge
were a'w'arded in November.
By that time, pilot training was in
frail s'w'ing. Ohosen, for ability, exper-
lenee arid character from a large field

the end, pf !the Year 1937, there
were sixteen pilots, three is the Van-
couver -Seattle service, two assisting
with instruction, four in advanced
training and seven in training. The
maintenance and' repair staff, divided
between Winnipeg, Regina, Leth-
bridge, Vanoouver and Seattle, con-
sisted of twenty-two men anti there
were fourteen in the communications
and dispatch department, The total
number of empployees at the end of
193/ was seventy-one.
Last December, a daily (except
Sunday) training schedule was flown
between Winnipeg and Lethbridge. In
Jahuary, 1938, advanced pilots began
flying from Vancouver across the
Rockies to Lethbridge.
The Department of Transport in-
stalled a twenty-four hour meteorolo-
grieal service at Winnipeg, Regina,
Lethbridge and, Vancouver, and a six-
teen -hour service at intermediate
points, in February. We were en-
iabled to undertake some night flying
and in March we began carrying mails
between Winnipeg and Vancouver.
While the movement was on regular
schedule, it was by daylight and in
good weather only and the postal
matter was. picked at .r'andom from
the ordinary •mails•. In March, we
flebv 38,484 mules on the route between
Winnipeg and Vanoou$er. The fol-
lowing month, the flying mileage was
increased to 82,176. Occasional night
flip is were 'Made between Winnipeg

The .first two of the Super Electras
