The vehicle left the road after hitting a soft spot in the surface and the steering locked. Mr. Reid said front wheels and axle were sheared off in force of the crash. ' When he saw what was about to happen,' Mr. Reid said he moved from in front of the steering wheel of the truck, which was forced back agaihst the seat. His son was thrown clear when the right hand door wrenched open. A. load of gravel in the truck wag thrown over the cab into the river. Damage to the 1950 model (which was a complete wreck) was estimated at over $1,000. Stratford OPP officers investi- gated.

Football is the top sport, ac- cording to Jim and he bases his liking for the game on these grounds: "I like most body contact sports and footba,ll in particular because it requires both a quick and alert mind and a physically fit body. I believe that football is a sport which leaves little room for in- dividualists: because in this hard, fast sport, teamwork and co-opera- tion among players and coach is Hensall Pee Wees Lose To Mildmay Clarence iteleL Hensall, and his 12-rest"-old son, Jerry (iritet), esceped injury last week wheat their five'-ton truck loaded with gravel jalned a bridge abUtrtiont, fell. eight tect, and. solashed Into, rieerjereikeire Hilbert Totvhshio,„, near .HehsalL.,Shown is the wrecked vehicIe,:..„ Hensall Man And Boy In Wrecked Truck Hensall Pee Wee team made a splendid showing for themselves at the Young Canada Pee Wee Hockey Tournament held in Gode- rich, winning their first two games with Brussels, 6-2, and Londesboro 4-1.

JIM HOWES Huron County Crop Report Switchboards and machinery of bat- teries and electric generators, of people and buildings. That net- work has been developed in answer to Canada's need for freedom qf expression and to help her assume a *leading position in •the business of the World. The nerve centre of telephone service is the 'centrel office', There is the -equivalent through which any specific telephone may be con- nected with any other telephone desired, Depending on the size 'of the community, there may be one or many interconnected central of- fices and that whole local network is called the 'exchange!. Under the dial system, local con- nections are made by ingenious electro-mechanical devices which receive the electrical, impulses sent out by the rotation of the tele-phone dial through to the desired number. Dial central office apparatus indicates its readiness to give sere vice by giving a distinctive sigbel — known as a 'dial tone'. It means the same thing as the human operator's! "Number, please?" Dial tone is the indication that you have a clear path to the automatic swit- ches which will, at your direction, connect you with the number you desire. If dial tone is not heard almost •immediately, it means simply that the equipment is oc- cupied for the moment with other calls. To avoid getting a wrong number or no number at all you have only to wait until that 'ready' signal comes through. When you dial a number, you Will hear clicking sounds as you' release-the dial after each digit. These clicks represent the number of electrical impulses being sent over your line to the central of- -flee switches. Two impulses are created by dialing the figure 2, three by the figure 3, and so on. Working their way through a maze of complicated rbechinery, these impulses find a path from your telephone to the one yob, wish to call. When, in, a very few sec- onds, that path is complete the called telephone will ring or the busy' signal will be heard. The precision required calls for equipment that is accurate, intri- cate and enduring. It is costly to make, install and maintain in perfect order. There are thousands of different parts and every one must be precisely made and adjust- ed with hair-breadth exactness to ensure proper functioning of the ' whole central office machinery, during the week, 'however, maple syrup is in short supply and is selling quite rapidly at $5.00 per gallon.
