There was still open land as;j————____ the official maps show in their small colored squares, but the Prospective settler was told that land couldn’t be pre-empted under the present policy. To Lionel O. Morgan, a yete- ran who hails from Toronto, this official communication was a Se bitter welcome. It didu’i -help any that the government em- loyee in Clinton who passed it on, read it from the copy oi a letter sent from that office on April 3—a letter Mr Mergan states he never. received, ENQUIRED A YEAR AGO The confused story dates back to almost a year ago when he made enquiries about the possi- bilities of pre-empting land in the Cariboo. On July 25 a form letter was sent to him from the Department of Lands on pro- cedure, and included were maps of the area showing what land was open, and a government I entitled “how ro pre- g empt land.” 0 4 : Although ihe letter recom- ver 400 attend |, sme, a reer recom. ; Quesnel assembly Morgan's elected to make a Jong- examine the land personally ,the distance choice, and they de- t Over 400 persons attended ses-|‘ided'on a lot on Green Lake sions of the weekend assemblies| TB® Clinton office was advised, of Jehovah's Witnesses held at|>Ut Morgan had made a | Giesnel, position error in the number and | On Friday evening the pro-|e received a letier stating that gram was highlighted by an aa_|"© Sch number showed on the| Gress of welcome. to the dele-|M4P- This was straightened out gates by G.

Cermeriy Vanmer Breveria Lid) is faye by the Liu hy the Soveran Stone quarry owner rates Chevrolet the toughest truck going “Put a Chevy out there and it stays!” At the Snyder Stone Quarry, you see Chevrolet trucks of all ages. “They get better and better every year,” Mr. R. G. Snyder says. “My ’59’s keep going with no down- time at all for major service . .. moving more material at less cost per mile than any other make of truck I’ve had”. The grades are steep from quarry to crushing mill, the loads are big and punishing. That's why Mr. Snyder specifies Chevrolet. “Put a Chevy out there and it stays,” he says. “You never do wear one out. You just get tired of looking at it and get a new one”. The truck you see up above is taking on a mountain of a payload — yet Mr. Snyder states, “It moves over the road like a light truck”. That kind of performance is a specialty of the house. Chev- rolet turns out heavy-duty trucks that keep their poise no matter what you put in them. They’re beating the big, over- sized rigs at their own game, showing that precision-engi- neered chassis components and super-efficient V8 power make up for a locomotive-looking build any day of the week. Today you sure can’t assume that because a truck is trim- lined and good looking it doesn’t work every bit as hard as those old-styled steam rollers. Put a Chevy on your run and see what a little pure efficiency can do. Your Chevrolet dealer will arrange the details. Cuts gas costs by 20% on mull stop schedule! This bakery firm is sold on Chevrolet's “easy driving and fuel economy”. Their Chevies keep at it 10 hours a day, averaging 78 stops, cover- ing about 3,500 miles a month!
