Canada, your Chevrolet can be produced

Chevrolet dependability is unsurpassed
by any carl Nothing beats famous Chev
rolet dependability. Many large companies
choose Chevrolets for their entire sales
force because Chevrolet’s reputation for
reliability assures them these cars will be
faithfully on the road all day every day. ,
L&cal Boys Make Good
The Wingham Midgets paid a visit
to the big city the other day. Or so it
seemed.
They went down to Burlington to
play the highly-touted Port Nelson
Hill the Mover Midgets, who up until
that time had had the reputation of
moving all their opposition into the
sidelines. It wasn’t the big city, really
but it must have looked like it to the
Midgets.
\ Actually Port Nelson is a small,
town with a population of about 900.
But it's right across the street from
Burlington (population 6,000), which
in turn is practically across the street
from Hamilton. And to the inex
perienced eye it’s hard to see where
one begins and the other leaves off.
We wouldn’t be suggesting that
some of the Port Nelson players hail
ed from Burlington, but there did
seem to be a bit of confusion as to
how big an area the town of Port
Nelson embraced.
Up in these parts they go by rural
routes. Anybody from R.R. Wingham
is eligible to play on the Wingham
team. Anybody from R. R Walker
ton playing on the Wingham team
would automatically put it in a
higher classification.
Down in Port Nelson they don’t
seem to have, that trouble. Port Nel

Beautiful Big Arena
Burlington has a beautiful, 'big, new
arena-—the kind that’s lit up on the
outside and bears a slight resem
blance to a modern movie house, It
hasa foyer type of thing where you
can stand between periods and talk in
more or less hushed tones about the
type of hockey that’s being played.
The seats "aren’t cushioned, but you
have the idea they might have been,
if the community had had just a bit
more money.
Unfortunately rates are rather high
in the Burlington arena. They said
it cost $60 per night for the ice, and
even at that they weren’t going to
flood between the second and third
period. What got us was when they
tried to stop the scorekeeper from
walking across the ice. $60 a night
and you can’t walk across the ice.
However, we must admit it was a
very nice arena and a credit to any
community. Even if only a smatter
ing of a crowd patronized it for mid
get games.

-The Bigger They Are
What probably impressed our mid
gets more than the size of the arena,
was the size of the fellows playing
midget hockey. There are a couple
of good-sied players on the Wingham
team, but the Port Nelson fellows
seemed to be all big. Manager Bill
Conron scrutinized each player’s card
very carefully, but was unable to find
any discrepancies. In fact he found
that some of the players were actual
ly bantams. They must feed their
hockey players some special kind of
breakfast food down there.
A few discreet inquiries disclosed
the fact that the Port Nelson club
was a whiz bang outfit, Not only were
they big, but they’d won a lot of
games. Talk of 18-1 and 20-2 scores
were bandied about while the Wing
ham fans began to feel a bit uneasy.
Nobody said so directly, but we did
hear some mention about the sticks,
and it was clear from their attitude
that members of the team had never
heard of Wingham.
0-0-0
Not Exactly Worried
As they sat in the dressing room be-
for the game, the Wingham kids
weren’t exactly worried. But it didn’t
seem to us that they were quite as
talkative' as usual. You could see
that they were mentally calculating
their chances in the coming battle
with the juggernaut, and just a bit
nervous of the outcome* Wingham
fans were saying that if they could
just hold Port Nelson to a tie, things
would be better at the second game
back- home.
As they faced off on the ice for the
first time, the local boys looked just
a little nervous. But then they usually
do at the start of any game.' The
Port Nelson fans that were on hand
were yelling their heads off, implor
ing their favorite players to murder
these bums,’ and perhaps the Wing
ham boys were momentarily homesick
for the old Wingham arena.
But it didn’t last for long,
whistle blew, the puck was dropped
and from there on they were too busy
to do much worrying.
The play had only been going a
couple of minutes when we heard
a youthful Port Nelson partisan say,
in a rather surprised tone,
These guys aren’t going to be
easy as I thought!”

Chevrolet's maintenance cost is natu
rally lower! When it comes to down-to-
earth dollars and cents maintenance .costs,
you save on service when you drive Chev
rolet. And when it comes to convenience,
remember that no other car can match
the service facilities of the huge Chevrolet
Dealer network, ready to serve you wher-
• ever you are, from coast to coast.
Chevrolet offers unmatched economy of
operation I Your high-compressiori Chev
rolet engine — highest in its field —
squeezes extra miles out of every gallon
of gasoline you buy. On top of that, Chev
rolet gives you the extra efficiency of over
head-valve design, pioneered by Chevrolet
and exclusive in the lowest-priced field.
Chevrolet's engineering excellence pro
vides the sound basis of Chevrolet’s
popularity. Chevrolet’s dependability wins
new friends year after year. Last year,
consumer preference for Chevrolet gave
this car a huge margin of 20,000 units over
the nearest competitor. This is indicative
of Chevrolet’s extra value, when you buy,
when you drive and when you trade!

buying, driving and trading , . . economy that is unmatched. And
Chevrolet gives you power, comfort and safety that you can't find

AMENDMENTS PROPOSED
TO HIGHWAY ACT
An amendment to the Highway
Traffic Act of Ontario introduced
in a Bill proposed by Hon. George H.
Doucett, Minister of Highways, serves
notice on manufacturers of high-bod-
ied motor trucks and trailers that
rear bumpers may soon be required
on all such vehicles. Hitherto, no sat
isfactory method has been developed
for attaching rear bumpers to vehicles
having the bottoms of their bodies
at a considerable distance from the
ground. The Minister has been advis
ed, however, that one manufacturer
has devised a suitable method of at
taching rear bumpers on such vehicles.
Stiffer penalties are provided in the
traffic measure amendments for fail
ure to remain at the scene of an ac
cident, which is termed a "most des
picable offence”. The new wording, if
approved, will give magistrates wider
discretion in imposing the severer
penalties if offences justify such
action. For the first offence, in this
regard, the fine is increased to range
between $25 and $100 vzith imprison
ment of not more than 30 days. For
subsequent offences, the convicted
hit-and-run driver may be fined from
$100 up to $500, jailed up to six
months, and have license suspended
for one year.
The present maximum speed limit
of 30 miles per hour in cities, towns,
villages and police villages may be
decreased to 25 miles per hour or
increased through by-laws approved
by the Department of Highways, in
another amendment.
Another amendment asks that farm
tractors hauling wagons or imple
ments on highways have two separate
means of attachment to prevent the
possibility of accidents. This has been
required only for motor cars hauling
trailers, etc., in the past.
Prohibiting of throwing rubbish of
any kind on highways other than
in receptacles provided for the pur
pose is included in another proposed
amendment. This amendment is aim
ed at people who throw refuse from
moving vehicles, or who purposely
leave parcels of garbage or other rub
bish on or along highways. The
amendment is due to the interest of
the Women’s Institute branches of
Ontario, who have given considerable
publicity to the problem.

HEALTH INSURANCE
... how millions of Canadians are voluntarily
protecting themselves and their families
against the cost of illness and accidents
»
While giant strides have been
made by medical science in the
past half-centnry, the cost of
serious illness remained a very
real problem for many Canadian
families until quite recently.
The most generally satisfac
tory method of meeting this
problem—health insurance — has
been in existence for many years.
But few people had this protec
tion until 1940. Since then, their
numbers have increased at a
truly amazing rate.
Today, 5% million Canadians
have voluntary insurance against
the burden of hospital costs.
Nearly 4 million enjoy protec
tion against surgical expense.
And about 3 million have ths
newest form of protection: med
ical expense insurance. Most of
these people have acquired this
protection in the last ten years!
Where did all these people
obtain this much-needed help?
Mostly from insurance com
panies, Bine Cross plans, and
medical care plans which are
sponsored by the medical pro
fession. Others acquired protec
tion from insurance co-opera
tives, fraternal benefit societies,
employee benefit associations.
Keen competition among the
various insuring agencies lias
brought a steady broadening of
benefits and greater protection
for an ever-increasing number of
Canadians. Thus today most of
the hazards of illness and acci
dental injury may be covered
through voluntary insurance
plans offered by one or more of
these agencies.
This striking record of
achievement proves two facts:
It proves that Canadians have
foresight and initiative in help
ing themselves to meet the un
predictable costs of accidents
and illness. And it demonstrates
the ability of insuring agencies
to provide service that meets the
greatest needs of the greatest
number of citizens.
The Life Insurance Companies
in Canada are proud that they
have been able to provide a large
share of this vital service!
