Why He is Going
What is more, Bob Sherriff is keenly excited at the prospect.
"The thing that surprises me," ho said, "is that the Oxford statutes for admlesion are so much broader than I expected, and that it is pos sible for a man of my age to find so attractive a course open to him. Everything has been made amooth for me by the Warden of New Col- lege (the Rt. Hon. H. A. L. Fisher), who has given me immenso help.
"Why am I going up to Oxford? Well, there are two main reasons. The first, to be honest, is because It will be fun. I was never able to go to Oxford, anal, anyway, the But war would have interfered. now that I haven't either to fight or And a job I am going to take the chance.

ADVERTISING
It is a sad commentary upon present day civilisation that we permit nature to be crucified: the countryside scared and made hideous because the phase "It pays to advertise" has been abused by wrongful methods of doing so. In England there is a campaign against hideous advertising heardings, and luckily it is meeting with a good deal of muccena, Preventivo legislation would put everyone on the same foot- ing. Let us have it. We would then have to fall back upon the personal element, the, spoken word for "Speech is morn- ing to the mind: it spreads the beauteous images abrond which else lie furled or clouded in the soul." Our advertis- ing is purely informative: It is not combative or destructive. You will not find throughout the Colony a space with the name of WAKEFIELD on it. There are signs outside Garages but they do not offend the eye or interfere in any way with the natural beauty of the Colony. Vandalism is running amok under the guise of advertising but we are not a party to it. Cantral oil is distinctive, it la the product of an 'All-British Firm: it's name is a tradition in the motor. ing world but it costs no more then ordinary motor oils. It Ja the only oil in the Colony sold by the British imperial gallon which is the legal measure.
