On the suggestion of Reeve G. H. Jose, W-arden A. Bradshaw and Reeve J. chairman of the road were appointed to make sentation. In a short address to council, Reeve Jose pointed out the imperative need for improvements to the road. “I am not in favor of extra costs being laid on the gov­ ernment in this time of war,” ho said, ‘‘and as a part of the British Empire I realize we should be will­ ing to do our part in cutting down expenses. But it has already been announced that the department of highways intends to make extra ex­ penditures for road work this com­ ing year. This being the case i feel that we should have ample con­ sideration. Highway No. 23 is in bad conditioin, and I can say from personal experience that traffic o" the road is steadily increasing and is sufficient to warrant paving ” His statements were corroborated by Reeve W.

The license plates, it was estimated, would pro vide about 300 tons of munitions steel. In Toronto Wednesday night Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn an­ nounced the plan and asked the wholehearted cooperation of motor­ ists in the Red Cross drive to sal­ vage material which would even­ tually become an integral part in Canadas gram. It was plan was cooperation of tlie Imperial Oil. Limited, asked plates tions, picked motive would steel mills free of charge. It was not definitely known if the same plan would be applicable to all communities but details will ikely be worked out by the Red Cross executive in each locality al­ ong with Imperial Oil representa­ tives. In Exeter the old license plates may be left with Mr, R, J, Seldon, issuer of motor licenses, “I hope the motorists will co-op­ erate wholeheartedly,” said Mr. Hepburn. “This arrangement gives them an opportunity of rendering effective aid in two ways and at no cost to themselves. Three hund­ red tons of scrap steel could be an important amount in war indus­ tries, and the cash derived from the sale of the metal will be used by the Red Cross, In the present emergency, when steel mills are working to capacity, we must avoid waste of material, and I am sure that motorists will support this worthwhile undertaking.” munitions-producing pro- stated at Toronto that the made possible through the Motorists were being to leave their 1940 license at the Imperial service sta- The plates would then be up by members of the Auto­ Transport Association and eventually be delivered to f HENSALL W.M.S.

The mill had not been in operation on Saturday. W. A. McGowan, superintendent for Rob Roy Flour Mills Limited, owners, had visited the building about 3.40 p.m., did a few chores and was about to leave when a passerby in­ formed him that smoke was com­ ing from the roof. No explanation has been offered as to how the fire started. Mr. McGowan had in- | tended to start the fire but owing i to the weather had not done so. The Lucan fire brigade respond­ ed to the alarm promptly but fire had gained fierce headway, floors collapsed quickly under weight of stock and machinery, only valuables saved were mill’s papers. The replacement value along with the building was estimated at about §60,000, par­ tially covered by insurance. Fire­ men were busy well into the night protecting the dwellings near tlie mill. the The the The the DEATH OF BAYFIELD RESIDENT The death occurred on Friday at Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, of Jennie Nicholson, daughter of the late Wm.

LAWSON Manager TK/TODERN telephone plant is built to offer maximum resistance to "trouble” of any sort. When trouble does occur, we aim to make repairs before your service is affected. Sixty years of telephone research and operation add up to a great deal of specialized experience. Telephone engineers can now anticipate with greater accuracy the causes leading to trouble. They don’t wait for wear and tear, or an emer­ gency to announce itself; they attack it before it interferes! This activity is called ''preventive maintenance” — and telephone people are very proud of it. The cumulative effect of preventive maintenance, plus improved design, reduced troubles per tele­ phone by 43 per cent in the period 1926 to 1929 and this improvement continues. Since then "trouble” once in 8 months per telephone has been reduced to an average of one trouble in 14 months! Performance at peak efficiency is de­ manded —- and as far as is humanly possible, is delivered to every user of telephone service.
