Mose Nash Motors, 28 Second Ave., Timmins, Nash car dealers, and repreâ€" sentatives for the Mack trucks, are justly very proud of the 1939 Nash cars, Mr. Mose Daigenault, head of the firm, says that the new Nash is making a very decided popular hit,. The two extra special features of the 1989 Nash are airconditioning and the wonderful new engine. Last year, millions of people marâ€" veled at the first cars with Conditioned Air for Winter Driving. Big Feature of the 1939 Nash Car is Termed "‘The Weather Eye" They sawâ€"for the first timeâ€"how windows could be tightly closedâ€"yet the car fooded with everâ€"fresh outâ€" side air . . . filtered of snow, rain, dust . heated, ‘dried, circulated under pressure, without drafts, r This year, there‘s a new wonder . . . in the form of a mysterious little dial below the instrument panel . , , it is the Nash "Weather Eye." When you start outâ€"simply by setâ€" ting the "Weather Eye" you tune in the comfort level you want on your trip. Anything from refreshingly cool to hot. Assures Comfort in Winter or Summer or Any Other Sort of Weather. The New Nash, One Enthusiasts Says, Sparkles With the Spirit of a New Age. Road to Cemetery at Cobalt Closed by Erection of Gate Cobalt, July 27.â€"(Special to The Adâ€" vance})â€"With both parties intimating they would consult their respective solicitors, a dispute between the town of Cobalt and Josseph Larabie over the access to Silverland cemetery is halted temporarily following an argument at Tuesday night‘s meeting of the town council. Larabie, it was indicated, has acquired additional ground in Bucke township to surround the municipallyâ€" ownsed graveyard and has erected a gate at the main highway which closes the short stretch of road leading into the cemetery. â€" In the discussion, the town offered to fence one side of th> road provided Larabie would restore the fence he reâ€" moved on the other side, but the latâ€" ter refuséd{gnd countered with an ofâ€" fer to increase the road allowance if the municipality would put up both fences. In turn, council rejected this suggestion, insisted the registered plan showrd the town to be owners of the 20 foot strip of side road leading to the cemetery and told Larabise the gate must be removed, Cobalt Council and Owner of Property Near Cemeâ€" tery in Dispute. must be removed. Acticn on the appointment of a new town clerk to succeed A. W. Harrington was dcforred for a few days while enâ€" quiries are made regarding some of the applicants for the pssition. Council was told there were 114 letters receivec in response to advertisements, many of the writers being without municipa‘ experience and these generally were disâ€" carded, althou h there was some exâ€" pressicn of opinion in favour of a local man receivirg the job even although this qualification is lacking. Recently The.Glicbe and Mail had several letters touchin> on the weak spots in the present of educaâ€" tion. HMere is another sample letter from last night‘s Globe and Mail:â€" To the Editor of The Globe and Mail: May I add the approval of a parent to the letters from two school teachers criticizing the new curriculm in force in primary schools. I know of several parents who agree with me, but 1 speak for myself. I happen to be a parent who has had one cMild graduate from pumar;. S(‘l’lOOl just ‘before the new course wasintroduced and one child who graduated this year. Both children came first : in their respectivte classes, the teachers in the school are the same and beyond criticism, yet there is no.comparison between the two children, so far as their eduction at the end of prMmary school is conâ€" cerned. To a parent with several other children still to go through, it is a heartâ€"brsaking situation. I have spoken to teachers and they themselves disâ€" approve of the new course and give reasons similar to those given by Miss Baskerville and the other tcacher who wrote. Formerly it was possible for a parent to help his child where the child was weak. Now that has been made quite impossible. Can Mr. Mustard exâ€" plain what good there is in cutting adâ€" vertisements out of magazines to paste them on a large plece of cardboardâ€" the proceeding being dignified by teing called a "project"? What is the particular advantage in drawing a map and, on the map, putâ€" ting drawings of different animals? I do not believe that such a proceeding helps the memory a bit, and think of the awful waste of time! I think the whole trouble began when the public listened to selfâ€"styled experts who criticized the examination system. I think that if any person who has gone through a graded school will look back in memory to his own exâ€" perience he will agree that no Classâ€" mate of his ever failed to pass an ¢xâ€" amination who knew anything about the subject. in every class that I was in, if any pupil! had been asked he couid tell who would probably come first and who was likely to fail in any j ‘riticize Presentâ€"Day Scheme of Education Thenâ€"no matter how the weather Mail had the weak of educaâ€" ple letter Like the human eye which expands or contracts with light changes, the Nash "Weather Eye"* gauges all changes inside and outâ€"to maintain even warmth and comfort, Then there is the engine performâ€" ance that never varies regardless of weather. This is a feature that is worth more than passing notice. In other engines the intake maniâ€" fold is exposedâ€"causing variable gas mixtures from front to rear cylinders, and making highest uniform efficiency impossible. In all Nash engines, the intake manifold is sealed inside the engine. â€" away from the weather, â€" Each cylinder always gets the same temâ€" perature gas mixture.

Examinations at least did thisâ€"in a competitive world, a child was early given a foretaste of life; a parent had some check on the rogress made by his child; there was some check on the child‘s teacher; and education contained some element of discipline.

"In spite of this common exâ€" perience, we have allowed the psycholâ€" ogists to mislead us into agreeing ,0r Snare River area in the Northwest Teorritories warrants more careful prosâ€" pecting than it has rsceived so far, is the view expressed in a preiiminary report (Paper No. 39â€"5) on the geology and mineral ozrcurrences of the area issued recently by the Geological Surâ€" vey, Department of Mines and Reâ€" sources, Ottawa. At least two occurâ€" rences of gold have already been found, and much of the area is geologically similar to arsas near Yellowknife Bay, Beaulieu River, and Gordon Lake, where many gold, and several base metals deposits have been found. The map area is readily accessib‘e by boat or airplane either from Rae on Marian Lake, or from Yellowknife on HFreat Slave Lake. West of a line from Marian Lake through Hislop Lake to Mamcnod Lake it is underlain mainly y Palaeozoic rocks, while east of this ine it is underlain mainly by Precamâ€" rian rccks. Prospectors are advised o pay particular attention to the Yelâ€" ‘owknife group of Precambrian rocks, which, the report states, should be i:xâ€" imined regardless of the degree of netamorphism. The Palaeozois rocks f the area are not regarded as likely o contain commercial quantities of oil, ‘as, or gold. The report is based on field examinâ€" itions by C. S. Lord, and is accomâ€" by a largeâ€"scale geological map Â¥# the area. Cop‘ies may be obtained (rcm the Director, Mines and Geology Branch, Department of Mines and Reâ€" sources, Ottawa. The world‘s first Gaelic Colleze opens today in Cape Breton. There may be cortradition of the claim that it is "the language of the Garden of Eden" that will be taught, but that is neither here nor there. It doesn‘t matter either that the college is a plain log structure. What does matter is that The Gaelic speech will dominate proceedings, and that the neighbouring hilis will echo and reâ€"echo the skirling of the pipes. In such cirecumstances the Scot, at home or looking after the affairs of other lands, will be in his element. Other business may wait. The setting is auspicious. It is claimâ€" ed that 4,000 Cape Breton folk use only the Gaelic spsech fluently, and it is heard throughout the Maritimes generâ€" ally. It will be a proud occasion for Cape Preton Gaelicâ€"speaking Scots when Angus Lewis Macdonald, Premier of Nova Scotia, addresses them in their own tongue.

Mr. Louis Normandin, President of Sh:nango Gold Mines Limited, reports steady progress being made in the depth development programme now under way at the company‘s property at Oba, Ontario. The shaft is now down below 125 feet where the first station has been cut and a drift started to open the highâ€"grade vein on which sinking has been directed. Latest information received from Mine Manager Gordon Pollard is to the effect that in cutting the station assays were taken from each round and showed an average gold conâ€" tent of $43.75. This compares with an average of $35.00 per ton »ncountered thrcughout simnking operations from a depth of 60 feet and indicates subâ€" stantial gold values persist downward in accordance with the expectations of the company‘s Consulting Ensgineer Jonn A. Cole, ME., who recently reâ€" ported that the occurrence of a faultâ€" ing condition around a depth of 50 feet would appear to have presented the upward escape of the gold values, thus resulting in the formation of a substantial orebaody of highâ€"grade maâ€" terial at depth. _ Toâ€"day‘s Stocks ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 1.53 ..~ 89 42 00B 34 33.50 33.15 1.17 2.02 4.65 58.50 1. 32 1. 48 2.38 2.01 46 4 4.70 2 45 1.90 2.20 3.30 1,.15 4.20 7.15 8.20 1.30 1.08 Writes of the Philosophy of Aviators in Difficulties Toronto Telegram â€" Figures don‘t lie, if the figure is clad in a modern bathing suit. . The casual estimate of the aviator places him halfway between the dareâ€" devil and the nerveless automaton. At his least he may be either one; at his best he is a philosopher of a new sort,. such as Antoine de Saing Exupery reâ€" veals himself to be in "Wind, Sand and Stars." For this work its author has been awarded the grand prize of the French Academy. "People extol contempt for death," he says. "But I would not give a fig for anybody‘s contempt for death. If its roots are not sunk deep in an acceptâ€" ance of responsibility, this is the sign either of an impoverished soul or of youthful extravagance." The sense of responsibility, to him, is the sign manuâ€" al of manhood. As an examp‘»e, he analyzes the feelâ€" inz of the pilot for the mail sacks. In those sacks, he points out, there is probably no single letter for which it would be worth while for any man to pass a single hour in peril or in pain. Yet once those letters are collected in sacks and stowed upon the plane they are made symbolic by the orders that they shall be delivered safely to their destinations. Plodded on in Snow to Fulfill a Faith There is the story of Mermoz, who crashed in a blizzard while flying the mails westward across the Andes. With the tempsrature at 20 degrees below zero, he plowed on foot through snowâ€" drifts for five days and four nights, knowing that to stop moving and lie down for a moment for the rest that his whole being craved, would be fatal. Fear of death never entered his conâ€" sciousness. So far as he was concerned, death would have been a small price to pay for the release from agony that it would bring. What kept him moving one slow foot ahead of the other, was the thousht that his comrades had faith in him, and that if his wife thought of him as being alive, she would think of him as on his feet. The framework of the book consists of accounts of adventures which came to Saint Exupery in eiisht years of piloting planes in Northern Africa and South America, some exciting, som= terrifying, some gently reflective,. There is nothing mystical in his thought. Whether he is telling about Mermoz fighting his way on foot for five days through the snows of the Andes or his own battle with thirst in the Sahara, his speech is the direct speech of a man talking to his comrades.

In a former release something was told of the value of such disease preâ€" ventives as those for smallpox, whoopâ€" ing cough,. diphtheria and scarlet fever. Others will be discussed here. Active immunization against typhoid fever is a thoroughly reliable procedure. While typhoid fever is usually acquired through the us> of contaminated water, milk and other foods, typhoid vaccine will «afford protection against such danâ€" gers. It is given in three doses at 7â€"day intervals.
