- WoOu'D be surprised at the places you could
go, the pleasure you could have, the thin
you could do, and the time you could save, if
you only had a Ford. .

,,, Youcould go over and call oftener on your
friends and liven up those “lonesome” nighis.
Your friends would then begin to repay your
calls—and you know just how evenings fly
when friends drop in.

In good weather, you could drive the family out on Sunday
afternoons to the lakes, or the groves, and places where the
gladness of living abounds. "

You could go oftener te town--and pick out the things you
like for yourself and children.

You could add so much more to-your daily life if your
family only had a Ford, that it ia surprising you haven't just:
made a way to get one. You probably don’t know on what
easy terms you can buy a Ford, otherwise you just would have

’ had one long ago. z .

pected; 300,000 squard miles of unexplored minerai bear-

The mining laws of this Provinee are more liberal and
od the. fees lower than any other’ province in the Dominion,

Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal
fees, Absolute titles are obtained by developing such pro-

The G. W. V. A. put on Vimy
Ridge dance last Monday night
when abaut forty turned up and
thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Music was provided by Mrs. At-

|twood, Roy Newton and E, Rob-

erts. The ladies auxiliary pro
vided and served the refresh-
ments, ‘

A petition is being largely
signed in Terrace to be forward-

fed to Dr. Young, head of the

proyincial health department, to
have’ filled in at once what is
known as the Terrdce ‘slough,
Efforts haye been made for years
to have this work done, but with-
out avail. This slough has heen
a source of illness and annoyance
and the local health officer has
reported that it should be filled
in.

A most enjoyable dance was
given at the home of George and
Mrs. Little Tuesday evening. Ex.
cellent musie was supplied by R,
Newton, saxophone, and Mrs.
YonHess, piano. The rooms were
beautifully decorated with ferns
and potted plahts. Dainty re-
freshments were served at mid-
night followed by a musieal pro-
gram in which Mrs. Munro, Roy
Newton and Mrs. VonHess par-
ticipated.

The Terrace Tennis Club open-
ed the courts the beginning of
this month which is probably the
earliest that tennis has ever been
played here. The lumber court
came through the.winter in ex-
cellent shape, and when the new
net is received everything will
be in tip-top condicion. The club
will supply the tennis balls this
season. Some of last year’s
members will not be available
this year, but new blood is heing
infused and the executive looks
forward toa long and successful
season. A. H. Barker is secre
tary-treasurer.
