The Wingham Advance-Times, 1936-10-29, Page 2PAGE TWO WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES Thursday, October 29, 1938 were over. A great change has come over the world since that time. Some nations were desirous of reducing their arma­ ments, armies and navies so that their peoples could live in peace and that the burden of maintaining war equipment might be lessened. Some progress was made but this is now history for to-day nations are prepar­ ing for war with greater fervor than was dreamed of prior to 1914. Will the sacrifice of the war dead be in vain? One hates to adopt a pessimistic attitude, but it now ap­ pears that over the graves of our war heroes the world is preparing for an­ other conflict. The British Government has bent every effort for a peaceful settlement and is continuing to so do but the situation is so complex that it is dif­ ficult for the average citizen to com­ prehend what all the fuss is about. Britain has been forced to re-arm to protect herself. The European situ­ ation is so muddled that experts are of the opinion that another fight is inevitable. Let us all hope and pray that peace may be maintained and that those in position of power am­ ong the nations will turn their swords into pkw-shares. 4- -I* 4* Saturday night is Hallowe’en.

HONESTY A despatch from Goderich last week states that a commercial traveller on discovering that be had taken the wrong coat from a hotel turned his car around and drove 40 miles back to Goderich to restore the coat to the rightful owner. This is a bit of re­ freshing news and goes to prove that the world has many honest people, although some feel that in this day and generation Midi is not the case. The habit publishers have of mak­ ing head-lines of misdeeds has creat­ ed an opinion that honesty is an un­ known quantity but we are of the belief, that while crime is rampant to an extent that is much greater than it probably should be, the world is still fortunate that the vast majority of its citizens are similar to the traveling salesman who drove forty miles in honest endeavour. We arc too prone to glorify and discuss those happenings that occur with unfortunate individuals. If we were to make the topic of our con­ versations, matters which deal with the goodness of our people, the world, would be much better for it. « S|: * * SMALLER TRUCKLOADS? The cost of maintaining our high­ ways is great but one must bear in mind that our roads are used for tra­ vel, and transportation of Freight as never before. Elgin County Council has proposed legislation be enacted reducing the maximum loads trucks and trailers may carry on the high­ ways and Waterloo County Council lias endorsed' this proposal. There is always two sides in a question and before such a proposal receives serious consideration a sur- j vey should be made so that the truck­ ers who pay a heavy license, would not be dealt with unfairly. The heavy tax truckers pay does much in the matter of maintaining our highways which they use. Large sums are now invested in this system of freight haul­ age and the public has accepted the system or it would not continue. The cost of building and maintaining roads for. such traffic is very great but we have allowed this business to progress and should be careful in retarding its progress. There is much that can be said for Elgin County Council’s idea. Why build roads and (iave them destroyed by heavy traffic? We believe that all roads will have to be constructed to support this heavy traffic. We have started a system so different from yestcr years and we cannot now turn back. * * ❖ * WILL THERE BE WAR? In rhe course of the next two weeks heads will be bowed and pray­ ers will be offered in every town and hamlet throughout the country for those who gave their lives during the Great War 1914-18. It is 18 years this coming November 11th that the Great War ended and the peoples of all na­ tions rejoiced that these bloody years mn A HYDRO LAMPS The Lon# Z/Ar La tn pa guaranteed Wingham Utilities Commission Phone 156.u Crawford Block. Ma CONSTIPATION* MAY COT DOWN YOUR ENJOYMENT OF LIFE Long Neglected, It May Even Develop Serious Consequences* Common constipation* keeps you from being at your best. It causes discomfort, and may lead to head­ aches and loss of appetite.’You feel below par, lack your usual vigor. So many people treat this con­ dition as’ a slight matter. But it can be the starting point of serious trouble, It contributes to a general run-down condition. With lowered bodily resistance, you are more likely to pick up the first chance infection, you meet in your every­ day routine. Common constipation is due usu­ ally to insufficient "bulk” in meals. Fortunately, a delicious cereal sup­ plies gentle "bulk.” Within the body, the "bulk” in Kellogg’s All­ Bran absorbs moisture, forms a soft mass, and cleanses the system. Serve All-Bran as a cereal, with milk or cream, or cook into muffins, breads, etc. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. Stub­ born cases may require All-Bran oftener. If net relieved this way, consult your doctor. All-Bran is guaranteed by the Kellogg Company as an effective laxative food for constipation.* Sold by all grocers. Made by Kel­ logg in London, Ontario. ^Constipation due to insufficient "bulk” the group, each one being a true ar­ tist and expressing a vivid personality. The programme was divided into three parts. The first part consisted of negro spirituals and was sung with real southern spirit. Each artist in turn took a leading solo part with the soft blending of the other voices as a background. Old familiar songs such as "Swing Low” and “Steal Away” were most appealing. The se­ cond part consisted of individual per­ formances. The pianist, Mr. Davies,- gave three clever piano interpreta­ tions Which, were greatly enjoyed. The soprano and bass singers offered us a touch of grand opera masterfully sung. The male quartet gave several comic numbers. For the third part an imitation radio programme was pre­ sented with .announcer, theme song and group and solo parts. A dramat­ is chorus “Song of the Emancipation” by the negro composer W. Clark Smith, ended this finest of programs. Meal Planning and Preparation Course Concluded Miss Jessie Lambclen returned to her home in Tillsonburg on Saturday after conducting a five-day course in "Meal Planning and Preparing” spon­ sored by the Women's Institute.

BEWITCHING DISHES FOR HALLOWE'EN By Betty Barclay Hallowe’en menus demand colorful and usually informal effects, Individ­ ual Cottage Salad reflects the Hal­ lowe’en spirit in both color and ap­ pearance. The flavor interest of ripe olives, pickle relish, and tomato cat­ sup against the background of gela­ tinized cheese is hard to top. Here also are a delicious steak with Innas, a top-over cake that tou­ ches the spot, baked apples with nuts and wine, and Hallowe’en cookies that seem made to order: Individual Cottage Salads 1 cup sliced ripe olives IV2 cups cottage cheese ¥2 teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons tomato catsup ¥3 cup pickle relish ¥2 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon granulated gelatin 2 tablespoons cold water Shredded lettuce Combine olives, cheese, salt, cat­ cup, pickle relish, and mayonnaise, and blend.

GASOLINE is a liquid like water. However, where water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, gasoline is composed of carbon and hydrogen.These two can be combined in many different patterns, called ’’hydrocarbons”. Quick starting depends upon the presence, in a motor fuel, of a group of very light ’’hydro­ carbons”. These,'as they are found in un­ finished gasolines, are seldom in their.proper proportions and usually contain gaseous and too volatile fractions which' cause power loss and vapor lock. However, in making BLUE SUNOCO the engineers retain only the desirable, easily ignited ’’hydrocarbons” in exactly the right proportions to give instant starting all winter long, followed by other hydrogen and car­ bon combinations which provide lightning- like acceleration, high knockless power and long mileage.
