Early in the morning he is out making a way for the wire that is to come. At night when the gang gets back to camp he is tired. But he likes it. There is zest in the work he is doing, for he is in new country. There have never been telephones here before. He is blazing the trial. After him will come families and homes and stores and factories to make another city. Over the wires on the poles he plants there will be voices and laughter, business will hum, all the world will draw closer. He works with magic. The wire transforms time and distance. Today you can lift the telephone at your elbow and within seven min­ utes hear the voice of your friend in England say: “Are you there?” HIS MAGIC in the telephone has not come in a day. It has come with year after year of experiment and improvement. The telephone of today is no more like the first telephone than a machine gun is like a bow-and-arrow. And the telephone of tomorrow will surpass 1 the telephone of today. Tomorrow perhaps, this telephone at your elbow will bring you the face of the person you talk with, will hold new magic we now do not dream of. HpHIS IS .the urge to improve—to seek and ’ Jl to find something always better—which has been the definite- policy of the telephone business since the first crude instrument re­ produced the voice of its inventor fifty-odd years ago. By no other policy could the telephone have kept pace with this country or contributed to its progress as it has done in reducing Canada’s wide distances and differences of geography. And by no other policy can the telephone now meet the responsibility of serving Canada’s future. CANADA’S FUTURE is at least twenty years of unprecedented growth and pros­ perity. All the signs and barometers of busi­ ness point to it. All the shrewdest prophets of business predict it. The signs and the prophets are so sure, and the future is so unmistakable, that within the next five years more money will be needed for extension of the telephone system in Ontario and, Quebec than was spent by the business in all its, first forty years. THE MAN pushing poles and wire, into new country and the foresight which' now is planning over one hundred million dollars of new plant to meet the needs of the next five years come from the same policy and the same purposd— to give Canadians facilities of communication worthy of their country and its future.

That’s why tire makers have worked out the correct infla­ tion pressure for every size of tire for different loads. Know the correct pressure for your tires, and stick to it. Don’t guess it — gauge it. Two or three pounds under pressure cuts miles off the life of a tire. Keep in mind you’re riding on air, and if there isn’t sufficient air, you’re riding straight into trouble. Pay a weekly visit to a Dominion Tire Depot and have your tires examined.
