Bates‘ of Brampton. “I move that we do not suprport the-'resolution.” Peel County councillors last week decided not to suprpcrt a resolution forward-edl by Wentworth‘ county council proposing pegging of the wheat price in all parts of Canada. The resolution also asked revision of rates to put Ontario on the same Wheatâ€"shipping bas'sr as the west. “If you did‘ that, every farmer in Ontario WOuld be starting to grow Wheat and the market would 'be flobdied,” said Deputy Reeve Verner of Alibion. “The railways are losing enough money now, why make them 1058 more?” asked' Deputy Reeve Sher- man of Chinguacousy.

The room was occupt-ed‘ by a middle-ag‘d man who passed for an Amer’can and had been amongst us bu“: a mat- ter of a fortnight.

The clothes closet stood wide open and‘ the1m were var- irus garmen"s littering the floor of the bathroom; the back of the 3':- cess was open also, diseVosin‘g a vi'w of the: disordered room beyond. I gasped: “Liselotte, how did you find out?” She shrugged clontemptuously: “Ach, but nobody remembered 'that when the hotel was relbuilt a few years ago, this room was overlook- ed1 and the sliding panels in the closet rrmained‘. She knew, for she had been a maid there 10 years ago â€"a foreign maid‘ who came with a familyâ€":md that is why she arrang- ed to have this su'te and also for the man to have the ream beyond, so that they could! meet whhout any- body knowing. Liselotte‘s voice came hoarsely ov- er the wire: “Please to come at once to Room 472, gnadige Frau,” she said, and rang off. Room 472 was the number of Mrs. Grenny-Jones’ suite. I d‘i-d not stop to wonder what on earth my maid was doing there, but slipped a dressing gown and slip- pers on and went. The old‘ lady was probably feel'ng ill and her maid had sought the help of my maid, whose room was a tiny curb- icl‘e on Ithat floor. The door of the suite was un- locked and I went in without knock- ing. The whole floor was eerily still and I shuddered- suddenly when I found myself in the dark, overfurn- ishcd salon of the suite. The door of the bedroom was ajar and I heard funny, niuflled‘ sounds coming from there. “Here, gnadige Frau, in the bedroom,” Liselotte called softly. At first I could not make head or tail of what I saw: 'trussed up lik-e a fowl for roasting, a gaudfy rearf wcun‘d round. the lower part of her face, Mrs. GrannyJones Ia‘y writhing en the tum/bledl bed.

Were there concealed doors in those clos- ets, which were a feature of every bathroom at the Palace. I had once heard a vague legend to that effect. That; evening, when I rang for Liselotte, she did‘ not come. Nobody had‘ seen her after the “Courier‘s dinner,” I was told. So I presumed that once more she‘ was A. W. O. L. and went vto bed without bothering about her. Suddenly, I realized that Mrs. Grenny-Jones’ 'bathroom was next door to that room. I went. into my ow‘n bathroom and inwstigated.

Both in size and price range the Mercury 8 takes its place between fine DeLuxe Ford' V-8 and the Lin- coln-Zephyr Vâ€"12. It is a big car and a rowerfui! one, powered? "by a Vâ€"type 95 horsepower engin-n. The wheeivbase is 116 inches and the 0v~ eral‘l léngth jusit ~over 16 feet. Brakes are hydraulic. Both the new Fords have the mod- ern gauges, glove compartment, grille for radio speaker installation, cigar lighter, ash tray, choke, throtâ€" tle and other controls well grouped on newly-designed instrument pan- els. Both have headlight beam con- trol operated‘ ‘by the touch of a toe and‘ a beam indicator on the panel. Both have a new instrument that shows: at a glance the condition of the battery. The parking brake lever, which ‘a'ctuates the brake shoes in the rear Wheels [by means of steel cables, is under the instru- ment panel to the left. Drivers seats are adjustable in all [body types. DeLuxe cars are equipped with two sun visors, the Ford; Vâ€"8 with one. Both have dual windi- shlield wipers with a single control and: twin electric air :hvorms. Ford, Mercury and. Lincoln-Zephyr cars are all equipped with. hydraulic brakes. All’ offer refinements in de- sign» and many mrch'anical advances and improvements. Acclaim-ed from coast to coast as the finest Ford cars in the history of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, the 1939 Ford V-8 and’ Deâ€" Luxe Ford V-8 are now on» display. Introduced in- the FordLLinicoln line is the Mercury 8, newest car in motord‘om and centre of inlteresit at the motor shows. The Mercury is a big car distinguished by modern streamlined styling. Its d“sig'n. bears a certain family resemblance to the The DeLuxe has a deep hro-od with long lines unbroken by louvres, 10w radialtor grille in' bright metal, and wide-spaced headâ€"lamps set into the fenders. It is powered! by an 85 horsepower V-8 engine of even more rupigrd‘ construction that the 5,000,- 000- already in use. LHydraulic brakes are precision built to meet sl’crict Ford standards of safety. Pedal action is exception; ally (asy, and the brake shoes work in 12-inch drums with .a total of 162 square inches of braking lining for quick stopping- and‘ long life. A feature of the bodies of both the Ford Vâ€"8 and DeLuxe Ford V-8 cars in their silence, achievedl as a result of exhaustive road‘ and laborâ€" atory research into the cause and‘ correction of car noises. By minor {changes in design and «by use of newly-developedi insulating matel‘iaIS, engine and road noises are effectâ€" ively kept cut of the car. Interiors are comfortable, convenient and smartly upholstercdv and equipped. The Ford Vâ€"8 for 1989 has a full grille and unobtrusive louvres at the rear of the hood sides. Headlamps are recrssed into the fenders. De- corative touches include a radiator grille ornament which incorporates a. compact hood‘ latch and' handle. Lincolnâ€"Zephyr, acknowledged style- leader in the industry. The DeL-uxe FordI V-8, with wholly new streamlines, has a distindtive appearance of its own.

New Ford Cars Now on Display “I beg your pardon, your grace,” the young man said, "but never heard of any prefix to the name of Hannibal, Caesar, Tamerlane or Napoleon, and I treated your name with similar honor.” Wide visibility for driver and passengers result from low Ibelt and cc‘wl lines. The running boards are narrow and! the .space gainaedl is 1mi- l'ized’ inside the body, which is wid- est at seat level. The interior spla- ci-ousness and the unusual luggage capacity were ach‘i-cved' withou't ex- cessive body overhang, as the result of alble designing. The body interiors are quiet as well as roomy. With the windows cI-osed passengers can converse with- out raising their voices even at high road speeds. Months of tests on the road and in the lalboratory pre- xcedled' this effective sound‘ inisfil‘aâ€" tion. Shortly after the Battle of Water- loo the Duke of Wellington, who commanded the victorious British Army in that historic .fray, was passing through the palrade groun-dl's and heard a subordinate refer to himself as “Wellington.” The 'old soldier stopped, told the young off- icer that he should not speak so familiarly of the commander of the forces. The l"body types are a a sedan, a sedanâ€"coupe, conrvertfible. The exterior beauty of the car is match-ed \by the distinction of the in- tcrior styling. The tilted instruâ€" ment panel, the steering column support and the two-spoke steering wheel are typical of the car’s origâ€" inality of design. The curve of the steering wheel rim is rep‘ated in the long are of the loo-mile speed- cmeter dial, directly in' front of the driver. Around it are grouped' the gauges, including a new battery condition indicator. In the choice of appointments and in interior tailoring, several new ideas are carried out. The cushions are in a panelled and piping treat- ment and the upholstery in the three closed cars is either broadcloth or bedfonl cord, in taupe-color. The seat backs and seat cushions in the sport convertible are genuine hand- buffed leather. Cushions are excep- tionally deep and comfortable. In all body types, the front seat is adlju‘st- able.
