BY RON SHAW
In the past few weeks, as every motorist
interested in getting the most miles for the
„ least, dollarsfrom his car knows, the price
of gasoline in' Oodericf. has dropped from
around the 54 cent mark to 47: cents and
even as. low as 44.9 cents in one case. A
spokesman at the Malone Petroleum
discount gas bar says however that no such
war exists.
Perhaps it doesn't.,but the healthy com-
petition, as some choose to term the drop-
ping prices, has been a welcome relief to.the
pocket book of local motorists.. "There's
room• for everyone in,Goderich," the Malone
dealer noted. "Prices are a lot lower than 47
.cents nearly everywhere else." 4 ��
Gas war or ' no the prices are coming•
down, and may even continue to come down
for a time, and that's not bad news. What is
hard to understand is that the same dealers
who charged 54 cents per gallon, are now
charging .17 cents -and somehow staying in
business.

United Notions Day.
OCTOBER. 24th
The Great Being, wishing to reveal •the prerequisites of the
peace arid tranquillity of the *World and "the advancement of its
peoples, hath written: The time must come when the imperative
necessity for the holding of a vast, an all -embracing .assem-
blage of men will be universally realized. The rulers and kings
of the earth must needs attend it, and, participating in its
deliberations, must consider such ways and means as will lay
• the foundations of the world's Great Peace amongst men. Such
a peace demandeth that the Great Powers should resolve, for
the sake of the tranquillity of the peoples of the earth, to' be
fully reconciled among themselves. Should any kind take up,
arms against another, all should unitedly arise and prevent him.
If this be done, the nations of the world will no longer require •
any armaments, except for the purpose of preserving the
security of their realms and of maintaining order Within
their territories. This wilt ensure the peace and composure of
every people, government and nation. We fain would hope that
the kings andrulers of the earth, the mirrors. of the gracious
and almighty.name of God, may attain unto this station, and
shield mankind from the onslaught of tyranny.
....From the Sacred Writings of the Baha'i Faith.
