How the Goodyear Co. Adopted the Trade Mark "Wingfoot" Many local citizens. in fact any tingujsh Goodyear products from person who bas had anything ta those made by competitors than do with the Goodyear Tire & the "Wingfoot" Rubber Ca., may have wondered how this company came ta adopt the trade mark of "Wingfaat." That curiosity has been explain- ed mn the accampanying article which appeared in the July issue of the New Toronto Wingfoot Clan: Most companies have a trade- mark. The Goodyear trade-mark is the famous "Wingfoot" which has become synonymous with Goodyear. The figure of statue shown, formerly in the home of F. A. Seiberling, the founder and first President of Goodyear, was the inspiration for the "Wingfoot" trade-mark for our Company. The origin of the Wingfoot goes way back ta the days when the Greeks were famous. One of their Gods was Mercury or Hermes as he was sometimes re- ferred ta. This God was the son of Jupiter and considered the Messenger of the Gads. That is why he appears with wings on bis feet and a traveller's hat of felt. Mercury was the favorite God of the Greeks and replicas of bis statue were stationed ahl over the country. The roads and streets were under the special care of Mercury; due ta this fact he was the patron of travellers, merchants and commerce gen- erally. No more appropriate symbol could have been seiected ta dis-I At TE tae Mr. and Mrs. Carl Sweitzer and sons, Bill, Jack and Carl, from New York are at The Happy Hutch.

CHAPEL-ON-THE-HILL Sunday Service The service at the Chapel-on- the-Hill was heid as customary last Sunday with about 60 people in attendance. Mm. Harrap con- ducted the service and Mr. Mc- Cartaey was the speaker. After the opeaing hyma and the respon- sive mcading, Mm. Bail led la praver. The hyma period, led by Mm. Atwell, was opened with the singing of the bymn 'Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Caiiing.e' This hymn v/as Miss Fox's solo at iast Sunday's service and as a resuit was specially equested for today. She sang the fimst verso and the congregation joiaed in the emaining verses. As it is aimost a year since Mrs. Fox. the founder of the Chapel- on-the-Hill. passed away, a smail portion of the service was devat- cd ta a memomial ta Mms. Fox. Mrs. Carlton, one of Mrs. Fox's friends who bas beca a summer resideat at the Beachi for the longest time, made a few me- marks. She toid how about 35 years ago. the Foxes and the Carîtons would get together on a Sundav evening and sing hymns. Owing ta circumstances this. prac- tice ceased for a time. Then, at Mrs. Fox's suggestion, a structure was erected for the purpose of holding a Sunday School under Mrs. Carlton's direction. Then, the idea came ta them that the adults could bave a service too. This was the genesis of the Cha- pel-on-the-HIi. Mr. Harap spoke on how it was given to so few people to do anvthing that made a lasting im- pression and that Mrs. Fox was one of those people. She bad been the Prime mover in estab- lishing the Chapel; it bad been ampiy provcd that it fulfilled a real need, and that its influence is wide-spread. The people were then iaformed that ncxt Sunday's collection would be added ta the sum voted at the annual meeting ta purchase some piece of equip- ment for the new hospital in memomy of Mrs. Fox. The con- gregation stood for a minute in silence after xvhich one of Mrs. Fox's favorite hymas was sung, "Jesus Lover of My Soul."1 Mr. Norman Wylie, baritone soiaist of St. James-Bond United Church, Toronto, sang "Consecration." The speaker's subject was "I Saw Two Masters," and bis ad- dress was based on the Sermon on the Mount. He said that this is an age of bewildemment in which science bas failed ta provide peace of mmnd: People weme won- dering what the future would bing. He campared the lake with a world at peace. If a pebblc is tossed inta the lake, the ripples spread far and wide; in the same way the Sermon on the Mount had an effect that spread over the wold. Then the speaker mea- tioned a youth ally in Moscow and rcad a fcw excerpts from a manifesta that esulted fmom this raiiy, a manifesta that encour- aged athcism. The world is thus lincd up an the sides of two mas- ters, Christiaaity and Commua- ism. As - Christians wc should study the Sermon on the Mount and w&'shauld conduct a caunter- offensive against Communismn. We should be prepared ta demon- strate aur belief in Christianity in every sphere of aur life. We should borrow a leaf from the Communist book and propagand- ize aur faith at every opportunity. We should keep in mind the fact that we are working for God and we shouid live aur religion. The speaker clased by saying that the Chapel-on-the-Hili is a memen- ta of a persan who lived ber re- ligion and who bad been the means af creating something whose gaod influence spread far and wide. After the closing hymn Mr. Harrap pronounced the benedic- tion. The Sunday School was con- ducted by Miss Wilia Simpson with an attendance of 35 chliid- ren. Mrs. Carlton gave the les- son, telling the story of a child who was disobedient.
