A phrase in the communion service of the United Church never fails to attract my at- tention. “Hear these comfort- able words,” and we are aware of comfortable words each Sun- day as we listen to Rev. Martin Jenkinson. Not comfortable in the sense of negative ease and complacency but a challenging directive for daily life. On Sunday he directed us to the terrible waste of potential use- fulness and joy when we allow supposed or even intended snubs and slights to poison our disposition and in doing so to poison us physically.

Nov. 23. 1967 Nearly two years ago, Canadian Tire introduced Polyester miro acle-cord in their high performance summer tires. Come spring, most major rubber companies are expected to follow with Poly- ester in their most expensive summer tires. Right now, a. year ahead of most others, as usual, another record falls to Canadian Tire. Polyester Winter Tires . . . here RIGHT NOW: If you ever experienced the sheer delight of being behind the wheel of an automobile equipped with “Hiway-Byway" winter tires, you have doubtless told others about the fun of bulldozing through drifts and Wheeling past cars struggling for traction. You’ve also taken for granted the confidence of being master on ice and hard-pack snow. Now with better-than-ever Polyester “Hiway Byways" you’ll get more miles and an incredibly smoother ride â€"- more like summer tires -_â€"- be it at 7 or 70 mph. “Morning thump”, even on the stiffest cold mornings, will be a. thing of the past. Initially of course, Polyesters do cost more; buhyou’ll soon agree they’re worth every penny of it. The Miracle Tire Cord I Big holiday cash? 1967.
