This two-way radio 'system covers a radius of 35 miles. The split channel two frequency opera- tion permits ;)4 hours a day service without and any per- sonnel needed to operate it The trucks have been equip- ped with Bell mobile telephones since 1953 when Peter Patter- son was County Engineer. lat2 3873 -1,‘',6 4 t t III 1 On County officials, following a survey, decided that the cost of installation, the :tower and equipment for the two-way rad- io system would be paid for within five years. Since Huron County does 75 percent of its own construction work it is most important that each foreman be able to con- tact the engineer during the day for information. This avoids expensive shut-downs it was stated. The engineer is responsible for five or six jobs going on at one time and it would be rather difficult for one engineer to give adequate supervision without some sys- tem of communications. The new system for the Hu- ron County foremen has been approved by the Canadian De- partment of Transport, the De- partment of Highways and the County Council. The five trucks and engins eer's cars are equipped with stone controlled system, tech- nically known as a. Carrier Op- erated Relay (C.O.R.). This will make it possible to blow the horn in any particular ve- hicle to summon the foreman when he is away from the truck, simply by pressing a button on a control box in the Court House. The Repeater Station, locat- ed at the Auburn County Gar- age, has a 200 foot tower with antennae 26 feet high on top of it. The tower is painted and lighted in accordance with the requirements of !the Depart- Two Blyth Area Persons Injured Jeanette, nine months, dau- ghter of Mr. :and Mrs. John Manning, crawled under a washing machine her mother was operating and caught her hand in it. She was taken to hospital at Clinton, where it is hoped to save three fingers which were mangled. The accident happen- ed at the home of her :grand- father, Alex Manning, where the family is living during con- struction of their new home. Robert Machu', 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mashers gashed his foot with an axe while helping his father split wood at their farm a mile west of Biyth. Several, stitches were needed to close the wound, ment of Transport Air Serv- ices Branch for the protection of low-flying aircraft. Two 100 watt light bulbs are placed on the top of the antennae and four more placed half way down. These will operate 24 hours a day. The special bulbs have a life expectancy of. two years. Fifteen 38-inch diameter steel cables, grounded in con- crete, support this tower. The system will be maintain- ed by Bob Pattison, technician at Sky Harbour Air Services, and Fred Hartfield, radio tech- nician specializing in V.H.F. communications. gthttleally Speaking There may not he a Statue of Liberty in Halifax harbor to welcome newcomers to our shores, but Canadian Naidanal has seen to it that there is a Person of stature with the of many tongues at the dockside when immigrants ar- rive, met him in his office on. St. James Street in Montreal. A big man with a, continental air, he sat at his desk smoking a stub of a cigarette in an ivory holder, ThousandS of new Can- adians have been greeted by him in their native tongue. In fact he has for the past 13 years meant la link to them be- tween the old and the new world. His name is Joe Podoski. He dubs himself a glorified interp- reter and friend to the masses of immigrants who have been admitted to our shores since the cessation of the last world war. He started his present career in 1948, when the CNR's Department of Colonization and Agriculture, in co-operation with the International Refugee Organization, realized the nec- essity for creating his job. He speaks eight languages and manipulates our mother tongue with the fluent lilt of the bil- inguist. I, with my boasted mastery of ten or more French words, was in awe of this man: who has acquired the art of conversing in so many lang- uages. Once An Immigrant Before the war he was pur- ser on the Batory, a ship that sailed the merchant lanes be- tween Europe and Canada un- der the Polish flag. He decked at Halifax nearly every month in the year. When conflict and strife made it necessary for him to choose a new home he settled in a small town on the Niagara Peninsula where, he said, there were 314 inhabitants and 14 churches. Quite evidently it did not take much coaxing on the part of the CNR to get him to leave his 14-acre fruit farm and help organize the mass movement of Dutch people planning to make their home in Canada. This took place during the years be- tween 1948 and 1954. Joe Pod- oski met this influx of new- comers and escorted them in CNR trainloads to their destin- ations. He still meets them at various ports, only now the numbers have dwindled con- siderably. Sixty percent Protestant, the majority of early immigrants from Holland chose central On- tario 'because they felt an af- finity with the type of land, climate and religion. "The whole family worked," said Podoski, "father, mother and any of the children who were Medical science recognizes 100 pathological conditions pro- ducing symptoms similar to those of intoxication. The On- tario Safety League reports that there have been cases of drivers being arrested for ap- parent intoxication, and then sent to hospitals for treatment for brain injuries when police tests showed there was no al- cohol in the system. Without a test, such drivers would be jailed' without medical aid. This is one of the arguments used by those who urge compulsory tests for drivers suspected of impairment. Qtlia enough to And jobs. 'They paved their money and .eventu- ally bought fannis of .their own with their combined fund's, This pattern was repeated over and over .again." Hard Work KeY to Success When he gave me his defini- lion for the success most of Canada's new citizens have a- chieved, 'he did not hesitate or ruminate. "The five-day week simply does not exist for 'them. They are willing to work niert Sundays end holidays to add to their bank account, They are frugal to an extreme,. That is, until they become prospermS, Then they are just as concern- ed with raising their standard of living as they were in build- ing their finances in order that they might acquire their own homes, farms or industries. While meeting incoming oc- ean liziers, Podoski said he had encountered "good, bad and difficult persons" among the 70 to 80 thousand immigrants he has been responsible for after they disembarked, His job is one of translating their mult- iple questions and advising them to the best of his ability from the store of his own ex- periences as a new settler in this, his adopted country, He has a special fortitude against confusion and a recognized ability in getting all of his changes safely aboard CN trains and to their various Canadian destinations. Male Midwife He likes to ' boast that he has never lost an immigrant yet, though he once had to pinch hit for an obstetrician when one infant became overly anxious to draw his first br- eath on Canadian soil, Joe Podoski knows the mean- ing of hardship and depriva- tion. Though we did not dis- cuss his earlier life in Canada, he hinted at menial tasks, hard and difficult times, his stint in industry at night while wor- king his farm by day and the stamina that is required by any settler to make good in a new country. When he is not on duty with the railroad he is at home with his Polish wife, a bacteriologist at the University of Montreal. He told me his only hobby, photography, returns him hours of pleasure for his investment. This is Joe Podoski, immigrant, interpreter, C1' employee and himself a. "new Canadian?'. He deplores the expression "D.P." as much as I do. WOOL Any Government Deficiency Payment will apply only on properly graded wools.
