This time with the new Firestone Champion—more than just a new tire—a new kind of tire that provides a combination of safety features never before offered. By a new method of tire building, each and every part of the tire is locked and interlocked for greater safety. Then by a new and advanced method of Gum-Dipping and Safety-Lock cords and the plies themselves are welded together into a super-safe, inseparable unit of amazing strength. This new tire has the sensational new Gear-Grip tread with thousands of scientifically spaced sharp-edge angles that makes it a marvel for safe, quick stopping, quiet operation and long mileage.

ASK FOR HANDBILL T 117 CANADIAN NATIONAL ------------- --------------—.............. .—----- Kincaid, Sask., Easter Sunday Dear Miss Jones and Friends of the Evening Auxiliary: Your kind letter and wonderful box was here when I reached home after attending Branch meeting in Saskatoon, where we had four days of beautiful Fellowship, Mrs. Forbes was with us and was indeed an in­ spiration every time she spoke. Isn’t it grand to see a woman so equipped to serve in a way all her own, her church and Saviour and set an ex­ ample to us all. Now, my job, is to attend meetings in this area and pass on to the women and girls her mes­ sages. Wish I could step into yours when we get that crop, that is prom­ ised us, I’m coming and I’ll just “bubble over” with all things I want to say. “Dolls of Nations” sent by your Aux­ iliary were on display at Branch among helps for Baby Bands and Mission Bands and will go to all parts of the province for meeting and we use the first set in the area. Then when I opened youi’ box of dainty baby garments, I said “Once again the Lord has provided thro’ His Co-Workers^ before we knew they need. Have given out four lay­ ettes out of it alrealy, Such pretty woollies, everything so nicely made, and such outstanding hearts, pins- soap, powder, yes everything neces­ sary. Your group have really done more, for our area and Hospital, than any group in Canada. .So we can never show you, how thankful we are, for your continued care for the needs of our dear babies. All we can do, is hope that these babies will some day help to set the world right. The Mothers try so hard to secure the needs but somehow cannot fin­ ance anything but a few flannelette things. So try, to imagine their pleasure at receiving your dainty woollies. I feel like a channel thro’ which your gifts reach our mothers and babies. You may often won­ der to whom. Take a peep — A mother of ten children, yes, tenth was also welcome and friend said to me, “Elizabeth is a wonderful woman her children are well-behaved and she keeps as smart as she was when her 15 years ago teaching isolated area, their 3 rooms ways neat and clean and they are on relief.” Can you see a young mother, 22 years of age, one of our own girls a beautiful singer, whose husband is in charge of an egg-candling sta­ tion- (which is closed all winter and they had to go on relief) even when business is good, he can barely earn enough to keep his wife and twenty monthy old baby. With help like yours they can hold up their heads and face the world, until a better day dawns, yes, very quietly we help as best we can, encouraging and giving hope those, whose lives are through no fault of their own. These are among the best citizens of our land, and we cannot see why more is not done to create work for our young men, who only ask a chance to earn sufficient to care for their families. So much could be done, our highways all need gravel­ ing, many projects to devedop, but dictators only have money for arma­ ments and we must do likewise. Strange days we live in, yet we be­ lieve that the Master’s Message is able to transform, not only individ­ uals, but nations into what God meant them to be. Sometimes I wonder if Christians have “hid their light” so long, that the powers of darkness have taken possession. The Madras Delegates speak very plainly about our lack of true wit­ nessing and. our denominational dif­ ference. We criticize Hitler Mussolini but perhaps we unite to pray for them that their power might be used for the uplift of humanity and glory to God. We are members of a great Fel­ lowship, extending to the uttermost parts of the earth to make the will of God known to all mankind so let us be happy in His service. Thanks from the ba/bies, Very sincerely, ANJ^IE ENTICHNAP the First nice the the as a herself I knew in that are al­ cheering, to darkened and should BABY CHICKS low prices for Tweddle High 18th.

Mr. Walter Thompson, who at one time taught school at Cromarty School called on old friends last Sabbath. He was accompanied by his son Lyle. Mr. Thompson says it was forty-five years since he was teacher at the school. His many friends were pleased to see him and to see him looking hale and hearty.

Time and timeliness-are the essence of success in most farming operations. Great loss may be sustained by the farmer, during seeding and harvesting, through machine breakdowns caused by wear and accidents, if parts are not readily available. It is then, that promptness in Securing parts has a definite money value. Massey-Harris has always taken a pride in the manner in which it has rendered Parts service. Fit and quality may be taken for granted, for replacement parts are identical with the originals. Its extensive selling organization, with local dealers in practically every town across Canada, brings this service within easy reach of every farmer. No matter, too, how old the machine bearing the name "Massey-Harris” may be, spare parts can always be Obtained for it. • last Spring a farmer ordered a imall part for a drill he bought 30 years ago. No demand for' many years far this part resulted in the pattern becoming destroyed. To make a new pattern and part cost $25.00, an expenditure willingly undertaken to preserve the Company’s long arid enviable reeord for service—although the part sold to the farmer far only 15c.
