50 YEARS AGO
Firestone triumphs again! 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. And here’s more good news
—you can buy the new Champion Tires at no extra cost!

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

SERVICE in the implement field is no mere
appendage or fancy trimming.
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.
