For the youth the dream had faded. This was real. To kiss and forgive. She was not asking him to be a man but to be a god.

Then she moved back and looked into his eyes. She did not speak and he could not. He'could not see her lips. He did not know the words she spoke to‘him. “Oh. Dummy, my dear one, you're the only real friend I have ever known and now I come to you because my heart is sad and I want to cry inside. Everything is all wrong!” The girl was sobbing against his shoulder. The Dummy started up and saw her. Thiwhlte shawl. made the real unmal He was dreaming. His arms stretched outta her.

There was another gift that had been promised her. A pair of slippers with real French heels. The grey-haired gentleman did not know that he was buying them as a wedding present for her.

That was on [Thursday morning last, when a loaded truck from Toronto turned over be- tween Haileybury and North Cobalt. I The driver, A. Lebo, his wife, who was riding with him and a passenger, Gusta Eder, also of Toronto, were all seriously injured and had to be taken to the g‘hospital here. According to Traffic Of- t ficer Harper, who investigated the crash the driver swerved sharply to avoid collision with a truck owned by V. Sul- phur, lost control of his vehicle, which rolled over two or three times, Lebo had some fractured ribs and sustained other injuries, his wife suffered bad bruises and torn muscles in her right arm and Eder, who was riding in a pile of cabbage with which the truck was partly loaded, had both bones broken in his right leg. Garden produce. fruits and live poultry being carried on the truck were scattered over the road. At the week-end a collision occurred on the highway seven miles north of New Liskeard, when L. A.

In speaking of recent. accidents on the highway, The Haileyburian last week says:-â€" , Reference has been made several times recently to the number of accim dents onthe Ferguson highway. Some of these accidents are serious, some, in- deed. have proved fatal. In others con- siderable property damage has resulted from cars colliding and from other mo- tor a‘é’cidents. There is a tendency to blame many of these accidents on the bad condition of the roads. There is not much doubt but that the condition of the highway has much to do with the number of auto accidents along the Ferguson highway, but at the same time it has to be admitted that other causes contribute to the general re- sult. “Soon all the mosquitoes in the area were clinched to the boat. The mos- quitoes then flew off, taking the boat with them. Believe it. or not. and why should you?” - Many Accidents Reported on the Ferguson Highway “Mosquitoes have been bad in Wes- tern Canada before this. Up at Hudson Bay a few years ago a couple of pros- pectors near Churchill were attacked by a flock of the long-nosed, buzzing mosquito, which is also’ known as the Ottawa mosquito. The prospectors sought shelter under an old York boat. The York boat was a creation of the Hudson's Bay 00., built for heavy tra- vel, and had a plank bottom two inches thick. The mosquitoes jumped on the boat and started bushing their stingers right through the two-inch planks. The prospectors were armed with mining hammers and as the beaks came through they clinched them by hitting the ends with the.hammers. surgeon. This swelling business indi- cates that either the people of Saskat- chewan or the mosquitoes have more poison in their systems in 1935 than they ever had before, and you can make your own guess as to which group has more of it. In view of some of the let- ters written to this paper, we feel in- clined to take part of the blame away frOm the mosquito. dry season.

We all know what it has cost the country for big investigations, over hydro power, the railways, the lumber, and other things, and flow Mr. Stevens wants to add mining to these, and I feel sure that it will turn out to be like the oth- er government-owned business. With so much mining goingon our railways are losing. So, if they can’t get along at the present time, how is Mr. Stevens going to make them pay dividends by taking away half the busineSs they now enjoy? l l DR. MURTAGH CHOSEN AS STEVENS CANDIDATE HERE be many business failures also. Where is Mr. Stevens going to get the money to. pay his prospectors? Will they ride free on the railways? Will all freight for the mines be carried free? For every Dome or Hollinger mine his men dis- cover, how much will he lose before they are found? Will he spend the money our prospectors and mining magnates are doing to try and produce new mines? And if new ones are found will he use millions of the profits to try and get further new ones, like our big boys are doing? Now comes investigation!

Others who have "stepped up” from small cars are delighted to find in Oldsmobile little increase over the low run- ning costs to which they are accustomed. But then, most people kn’ow Oldsmobile's reputation for thrift. Moreover, they realize that, later on, when ordinary cars require repairs and overhauling, Oldsmobile will be delivering the same satisfying, trouble-tree service. Why ? Because General Motors has built into it dependability and long life. Oldsmobile for 1935 gives you, among scores of desirable modern features: solid steel ”Turret Top" Bodies by Fisher; Hydraulic Brakes; Knee-Action; Syncro-Mesh Transmission; and No-Dratt Ventilation. Why not test for yourself the worth of each of these advancements. We will be glad to demonstrate for you a Six or Straight Eight. We are eager to show you how surprisingly easy it is to become an Oldsmobile owner.

The three factors of sight, as they appear to the blind themselves are mental, spiritual and material. Of the. three parts, those who have no vision. in the ordinary sense, consider material blindness to be, the least. It is not an affliction to them, but merely another handicap to be overcome.

There are occasions when the help of those who have the use of their eyes is de- sirable, however, and Mr; Thomson said that a blind man will never refuse aid, even in the things he has learned to do himself, for fear of discouraging others from helping when the need arises. 55533:} $1037 (for the 8 cyl. 3-1)...
