No body seems to love the truck driver, and in spite of the fact that everyone Knows the truck forms an important link in the usefulness of our transport- ation, the operator of the truck leads a friendless and grudgeful existence, Yet, if it hadn’t been for motor trucks we probably wouldn’t have cel- ebrated Armistice Day as quickly as we did. Without the big power vehic- les that sometimes obstruct the highways and momentarily check the prog- ress of a few passenger cars our mails would be laffe, our factories progress Would be slowed down, and our grocery stores would be short on the neces- ities of life when railroad strikes interrupt train service. Motor truck driy- ers do not figure in highway accidentS any more frequently than the drivers of passenger cars. While the slower speed and the more cumbersome size oc- casionally disturbs the progress of smaller cars, the delays are of little con- Sequence when we take into consideration the genuine benefit this nation da- rives from its trucks. Maybe in time to come there will be Separate roads for the big, heavy trucks to run over. But until that time arrives let’s try and be fair to the truck driver whose job isa far harder one than that of driving & passenger auto. Let’s be reasonable enough to give him a fair share of the road. Let’s set him a good example by showing him we can be patient and considerate. *_* 8 2 ® . Paste this on your windshield young fellows: Never take a joy ride with anyone with whom you would be ashamed to be found dead, se see A village council that starts off its initial year’s work without bor- rowing any money is surely something unique in Canadian municipal history! Yet that is the situation with Abbotsford All the organizing and statutory expenses, as well as wages and material costs for street repairs are to be met with current tax monies, which the Village Clerk says the residents intend to pay promptly. This week will prove if he is right. ss i ae ¢ At any rate, Jesse James never raised the hood of an auto, fixed a spark plug and charged three dollars and a half for it. ch Fiat | : +a * Isn’t this an awful country—with bobbed hair, high taxes, election scan- dals and the price of farm products? Hard to make a decent living here;no chance to get along. You hear something like this pretty often on the streets of Abbotsford. But the next time you do tell the fellow who is doing the talking to ask the Chinaman what he thinks of Canada. At the present mo- ment there are 30.000 Chinamen waiting in Cuba, watching for some way to be smuggled into the U.S. They are willing to pay from $200 to $2500 a head to anyone who will accomodate them. Ask the man who ‘knocks this country if he doesn’t think our chances ought th be as good as the heathen’s, sinee we already know the nation’s language and customs, If the man from China is willing to pay as much as $2500 to get to this great continent of op- portunify to make his fortune, we ought to be able to keep even with the bill collector, at least, , se 8 = ee We may live to be pretty old, but we never expect to live long enough to find a woman who puts as much confidence in her husband as she does in the family doctor. -* * Thursday’s clearing ‘‘bee?’ for atourist camp again demonstrated the community spirit of Abbotsford citizens, proving tliat-if appealed to in the proper manner our folks are always ready to do their individual share of a Worthy work. Pressure of business prevented some from being present, but most of these provided a man in their place, and one or two storekeepers also bronght their employees along too.One man came.with his team and work- ed all the afternoon, and another brought his truck. Considerable work was done—and evidently enjoyed—by the boosters present, and we can now answer: ‘‘Yes, we have a tourist camp’ Some of the citizens consider the site a suitable one for a recreation park and children’s playground. The property is conveniently situated and has access by two roads. The suggestion is made that a secluded corner of the site nearest) to town be fenced off from the camp grounds and prepared exclusively for children, A convenient and safe road for pedestrians leads in to the back end of the site across the McKay property, and it is thought that the children could use this and be safe from cars. The trouble or cost of a few swings, tables, see-saws and similar simple amusements for the kiddies would be nothing, and it is likely a committee will take charge of this matter. The next matter to engage the grounds committee is the sinking of a well. Some steps should also be taken to advertise along the highway tho fact that Abbotsford can now provide tourist’ camp accomodation.

MOORE THE RELIABLE SHOEMAKER Next Arbor Ice Cream Parlor O Boys, Here’s Some Picture See this picture at the local theatre on Wednesday next—A young girl (Agnes Ayres) comes to town from the Middle West, and at first she doesn’t get the idea. She is*a pippin and a peach. She wants to be a designer of women’s clothes and tries to sell her work to the swell gown shops on Fifth Avenue. But the men buyers for these shops, with a sniff at her ordinary clothes, won’t listen to hor. Then Ag- nes, almost down and out, gets the idea. She’ll bluff. Spending her last nickel for a flock of luring, vamping, daring gowns, she takes a suite at the Ritz, New York’s most exclusive hotel, where it costs a dollar for a glass of water, and announces herself as a famous in- ternational beauty. She gets over the fact that she has one little eccentricity —she designs her own gowns. In a day or two she and her clothes are the talk of the town. e There’s more to it than that, of course Thero’s the love story in which Anton- io Moreno, sent to put the faking girl in jail, puts a ring on her finger in- stead.
