cutter on snowploughed roads the idea is simply to shift the shafts from the left to right side of the cutter this has many advantages according to mr ries chief of which is that the light on a cutter at night properly placed on the left side is not obscured from the view of approaching motorists by the horses body roads are frequently icy in the centre but with this plan horses travel off the path beaten by cars the animal is also further from the passing motor vehicle and less liable to take fright but in case it does there is also less chance of it running the cutter up the snow hank and upsetting the occupants the driver of course sits on the left side of the cutter we thought the idea good enough to pass on to our readers the important task he is doing to repair cars for the rank and file of people as a result the local firm will be required to secure someone else and to this end mr holden hopes to make an announcement in a few days probably before this issue is off the press

mr hoover is going to lyons to start relief work there they do not help the germans this committee is tied in with the men- nonites of all branches and recently met with other branches in the states when rev s goudie was in attendance the importance of this work may be imagined from the mere fact that the effort gains a place in lite magazine that caters to the highlights of world events only at the present time the canadian effort is contrubting some 2500 monthly in cash as well as goods which would boost the total much higher for the relief of war stricken peoples in the old land reliable
