Flax 'Pullers At Work : •
On Jim 'Baker's - farm at Hellyrood
we watched one of W. B.: Anderson's
fleet of • flax. pullers. at work. These
compact little -Belgium designed ma-
chines will pull ,from 7 to 8 acres
a 'day. The machine is' drawn ' by r
tractor; but is driven by .its own pow
'er unit: Three long prongs guide a-
bout. a three-foot swath of the grain
into ' a. revolving fly wheel, that by
a comparatively'• simple; but' hard to
explain process, pulls' the flax out by.
'the root; carrys it across the machine'
and. releases it on •a shoot that lays.
it out in rows, 'on the ground for; ret;.

at the .Baker farm. • • .
Mr: ' Anderson is' operating :eight
pullers in.. this district and at 'Sea -

ivet is. being pulled this week, .where
several ..of the :machines wil'1, `be ' at

With Rev. C. H. MacDonald and
Rev. R. C. Todd on holidays. during
August the pulpits in .their -respect-
ive churches were occupied by supply
ministers -on Sunday.
In 'the United Church,Rev.C. De-
Witt Cosens of Exeter and formerly
of Ashfield Circuit conducted the ser=
vice. His',aged father, who is recov-
ering from a recent • operation, was a
former Methodist, minister , in Luck -

•In' the Presbyterian Church, Rev.
Austin L. Budge of Hamilton,. Clerk
of the Synod conducted the • service.

which was built by this company. Q
A grant of $50.00 was made to the
Lucknow Pipe Band. -
Accounts for • the ;permanent sur-,
facing of , Village roads and • main
street boulevards, were received •fr'pm
Bruce County in the amount of $849.
Six • .hundred dollars of this is provid-
ed for by a County, grant. The Belle,
Telephone Company pays the cost . of
repairing,.. the boulevard that, was
torn up to lay their lines underground
and W. B. Anderson pays for the' 'ex-
tension of the roadway past his mill.
These amounts are to be • computed
and levied.
At the outset of the meeting, before
the minutes of.'the lastregular meet-
ing were; adopted, Councillor Hamil-
ton questioned the Reeve asto when.
the minutes. of past meetings would,
be signed. It' was ;pointed out ,that
from the beginning of 1939 the min-
utes had not been signed, and Mr.
Hamiltondeclared these were : not le-
gal without the Ireeve's signature.
Reeve Bushell said he • had no yeas -
on .for not signing them and would
do so before the end of the year,:but,
would give no promise, when., ' asked
by : Councillor Hamilton, that they be
signed before the ,next • regular meet •
ing.
Hydro Rates Reduced
Based on an analysis of the cost
of operation of the various services
of the Municipality, a communicatior
was received from the Hydro Electric
Power Commission recommending a
- reduction of hydro rates locally, of-,
fective the next 'billing. This reduc-
tion effects only power and domestic
users, and street lighting charges.
Power rates recommended are 3.5
