I congratulate you all on the fine modern new school ,mild- ing you have which is quite in line with the times. Sometimes I wish to be back ,again to visit the old plates so dear t one, forty years ago, but I fear it would bring sadness too for how many of the dear ones of that time would I see? I suppose the present pupils are nearly all the children and grandchildren of my former pupils. I cannot help think- ing how time changes everything. No doubt some of the older people are gone to the better land, some have moved to other parts, but I ]tope their example in living the bet- ter life has left its influence on those left in their .place and many good men and women will think of their good fortune to be descendants of the splendid people who lived in No - 1 Grey so many years.ago.

The peace of mind and feeling of security made possible by this factor of safety is further enhanced by the clear vision roof pillars, six -brake system, 3 irreversible steering, one piece gas tank and all -steel body. The Ford car shatterproof glass windshield does not splinter under the impetus of a direct blow. In case of a collision there is no flying glass to endanger driver or. passengers. The vision is clear and unobstructed with the Ford shatterproof glass windshield. At the same time the driver realizes that this windshield is a protection and a factor in creating driving confidence and owner enthusiasm.
