Indeed, at the price of a Four, you may now enjoy the greater smoothness, the greater roominess, the greater riding comfort, and the more brilliant performance of the powerful new Willys Six. Higher quality and value are very definitely evidenced in more than a hundred new features, Ovly 'ms company of long experience, of large resources and with enormous facilitics, could produce such outstanding cars as the new Willys Sixes, and could market them at such low prices, Among the many mechanical improvements to be found in the new Willys Six is its new rear axle; all malleable casting have been eliminated, so that the new axe is entirely of steel. This gives greater strength and rigidity, As the new axle is also lighter, the amount of unsprung weight is reduced, thus improving riding qualities. The Willys Six also brings you the convenience of Finger-Tip Control=a button the center of the steering wheel, which controls the functions of starting the motor, operating lights and sounding horn.

REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON WHITBY PLEASED WITH NEW DUTY ON FOREIGN CARS County Town Will Benefit From Improved Motor Industry in Oshawa Because of the fact that in nor- mal timse many Whithy eltizens find employment in the plants of the General Motors at Oshawa, the Federal government order is- sued a few days ago fixing a dis- count of twenty pér cent, for duty purposes on cars exported to Cane ada from the United States, has been received in the country town with general satisfaction by elti- zens of both political faiths, The slogan, *'"When Oshawa is busy Whitby is Benefitted"', seems nearly realization in the opinion of many, When the plants of the Cienera! Motors at Oshawa were running full blast, as many as one hundred Whitby workuten made thelr daily pilgrimage to the Motor City where they found steady work. When houses were scarce in Osh- awa not a few Ceneral Motors employees came to Whitby to live, with the result that empty houses in the county town a little over a year ago were few and far bee tween, It 1s somewhat different to- day on account of so much unem- ployment, Today several local men are employed in Oshawa and it is safe to assume that when industrial conditions improve, as they should before long in the motor industry at least, the town's unemployment list will be reduced to some extent, Local business men look upon the order from Ottawil fg a step in tho right direction in view of the slackness of the motor industry and the increase in the number of all American-made cars being dumped Into. Canada in competi tion with cars made at Whitb¥'s door. In short, the new order-in« council has been rocelved as good news in Whitby as well as in Osh- awa because of the cloke relation. ship of both municipalities PRIVATE PRAYER PUBLIC WORSHIP CHRISTIAN NEEDS Editor of "Sunday School Papers Heard in United Church The pulpit of Whitby United Church was occupied on Sunday by Rev. George A. Little, editor of the church Sunday School publica- tions, and a forceful and earnest preacher. The need for private prayer and pubille worship as essentials In Daily Times ChrosiclorTolpbons social progress and christian vi was stressed by the visiting min! ster at the morning service as 'he read two scriptural injunctions one by Christ calling upon Christe fans to pray in secret for open res ward, and other by Paul admine ishing christians not to forsak¢ the assembling of thomselves tos gether as the manner of some if Rev. Mr, Little pointed out tha§ Christ while on earth retired te the solitary places for communioy with His father, also that on seve oral occasions Ho admonished His disciples to do likewise. During His ministry ho also worshipped in the temple "as his custom was" setting the example to His follows erg to engage in public worship, The thought was developed by' Rev. Mr, Little that many of the world's great social advances wer the result of long hours spent b, oustanding men in solitude and study. Men like Edison who h transformed the world with light Dr. Banting who discovered Ine sulin 'and revolutionized medical gclence and many other far seeing men liad spent hours in their labe oraties in order that the world might benefit along social lines, Silent moments of reflection were productive of much good. In the quiet. and solitary places men ree flected the good and lived to bd shining examples. Self examination led many to alter the whole course of their lives, The future of man was determined by present day living, Little Christian work was accomplished without quiet, prays erful study. The value of public worship was dealt with at length by the visite Ing minister. Its power to regen= erate, to drive away gloom, to stimulate Christian growth and ins terest in the Church of the Living God was stressed. Private prayer did not mean We elimination of publie prayer. Public worship was a great essential in social as well as spiritual development, Rev, Mr, Little, addressing a special word to the women, opined that they had an important part to play in this development, beginning in the home and reaching out into the larger spheres of life, He believed however that women's greatest ine fluence was in the home. In a special address to the child ren before the sermon, Rev, Mr. Little told the little folks that they could become partners of God im the unfolding of His plans for the good of the universe. ---------------- Tn anticipation of a change in the dry laws, some of the old brewers are getting busy and polishing up their machinery.
