Discussion Club Active Oxi March 9, Dr. Sivertz, chemical expert at the University of Western Ontario, visited the Discussion Club. In his talk”'he developed the growth of the scientific type of reasoning from the time of the Rennaisance to the present, stressing the impor­ tance of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo in turning men’s minds away from what were thought to be the eternal verities of Aristotle. After his talk, the meeting was thrown open to a general discussion of science and its marvels, with particular Attention being paid to medical achievexnents in the Soviet Union. Dr. Sivertz was also induced to give an account of some of the re­ search work he. has been engaged in. Chemical warfare has engaged much of his attention during the wax’ years, and he has made out­ standing contributions to the treat- xnent of severe burns.

This desire was given impetus by the recent enthusiastic, if not suc­ cessful fight in the Command Volley Ball tournament held at T.T.S. last week. T.T.S. won the district championship, moving to Toronto for the Final scrimmage. The Sports Representative at T.T.S. stated to this writer that T.T.S. was Volley Ball conscious, and consider­ ed the sport an excellent athletic “interest gainer.” As a result of the sports meeting FO. Herbertson, station sports of­ ficer, has announced the formation of a Station Volley Ball League. All personnel interested are invited to visit the “Y” Office-fox’ further in­ formation. Kv.

Flyers Meet Army With forty-five seconds to penalty shot from the stick of Geo. Galbraith gave -Syl Apps’ London Army Hockey Team a 7-6 victory ovex- our O.H.A. Champs last Tues­ day night before the largest crowd to be packed in the local arena season. The penalty shot was climax of a thrill packed battle will long be remembered. Both teams played heads a this the that z --------------- ------- ------ uphockey, and provided the Flyers’ net keeper, Cliff Young, and the Army’s goalie Moffat, many oppor­ tunities to make sensational stops in front of the nets. In the first period Army took a one goal lead to start a fast break­ ing hard shooting frame. Early in the second stanza Macey, Bagnall and Forsythe drove the rubber home for the Birdmen to be closely followed with one by Janes­ ki, fast skating earthling. S/L Elwin scored from close in, and in a fast break-away repeated to put the Flyers in front. A slow bound­ er by Clark, and a dual 'performance by Kavanaugh and Collins ended the period with a score of 5-5. In the third Bagxiall drew a major penalty after a scrimmage with Collins. Galbraith found a cor- ■ ner of the Flyers* net to give the Army a mbxnentary edge until Wieczorek tied it up for the Flyers. Wtili only a few seconds to .go Galbraith drew a penalty shot to end the battle with an army victory.

Music Appreciation Bernard Shaw once said, “Would that men could drown all the cares of the world in the enchanted River of Music.’’ We don’t propose that men should lose themselves in an Ethereal World of Music, or any other enchanted Realm. It is neces­ sary that we face and meet every human problem in a realistic and Courageous manner. We do, how­ ever, suggest that music is a stream in whose comforting waters men might find a few moments of relaxa­ tion to bettex’ enable them to meet their individual tasks with 1‘enewed energy and purpose. With this in mind a recorded program of select­ ed Classical arrangements is pre­ sented in the Station Recreatioxx Hall every Sunday evening hours. Last Sunday the program Beethoven’s Symphony No. Major, by Toscanini and the B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra. This is one of the acknowledged symphonic mas­ ter pieces in which the blatant melody of the string instruments, and, the harmony of the reeds are combined with the resonance of the horn and drum in a panorama of musical beauty. Another populai' number was Lily Pons rendition of Caro Nome from Rigolette. The Sunday Musicales are grow­ ing in interest, and are greatly en­ joyed. All Station personnel are in­ vited to attend, and may request that favorite selections be included on future programs. at 1930 featured 6 in F Rifle Club W. L.

The Club is planning a series of Station matches to determine Station Championships. According to Club Officials a varied and c interesting program is being planned for the summer months.

Our hardworking Band­ master, Robert More, is straining to enable the Band to put on a good showing the first opportunity they have, to really show their stuff. We feel quite sure that they will, too. All of the Bandsmen are proud to be in the Band and are giving our able Bandmaster their fullest co­ operation by excellent turn-outs for Band Practises. Several new mem­ bers turned out 'the other day and are pleased to join the Band. We hope that the present enthusiasm that the mebers have for the Band will increase as time goes on, which will guarantee a good showing any time. A member of the Brass Band who is worthy of mention in this column is LAC. Wagner, A. C., who hails from the good town of Kitchener, Ont. He is of no relation to the LAC. Wagner, who was mentioned in the last article but their musical abili­ ties are very similar, both being able to play efficiently, several dif­ ferent musical instruments. LAC. Wagner plays the Clarinet in the Brass' Band and in addition to this, he plays the Tenor Saxophone in the Station Orchestra. He has play­ ed several years for Parker’s Or­ chestra in Kitchener and before giving the Orchestra the benefit of his excellent musical ability, he had his own orchestra known as Al Wagner’s Melody Kings in Kitchen­ er for three years. While being a very efficient player in the Brass Band, he is a very zealous and en­ thusiastic member, rarely ever miss­ ing a band practise. The Band wish­ es that it could have more players like LAC. Wagner in that he streng­ thens it considerably by his pres­ ence as an excellent Clarinet Playex. We wish him more success in future and the best of luck. Sgt. Joe Swart*, Coming Entertainment Wednesday, March 22, 2000 hours —STAGE SHOW, station Drill Hall.

This new rate has many advantages and provides a saving to most Farm and Hamlet users, The principal beneficial features of the new rate are as follows 1 2 3 4 5 All Rural Power Districts are now co-ordinated into one Rural Provincial Power System with a uniform meter rate applying throughout. The estimated saving to Rural Ontario per year is an amount exceeding $500,000.00, equivalent to 10 percent of the Commission’s total revenue from Rural consumers in 1943. The service charge for Farm users has been removed. The service charge to Hamlet consumers has been cut in half. The majority of all Rural customers (approximately 97 percent) are benefited by this rate change, only a small number (approximately 3%) are adversely affected to a minimum extent. Individual Bills Vary with Use of Electricity CHECK ALL THREE In making direct comparisons between your power bill under the new rate and that for a similar period under the previous rate, several conditions must be considered. These conditions include the amount of electrical energy used (kilowatt-hours), the former meter rate, and the demand or peak .load where additional equipment has been installed. For example, your first bill under the new rate may be higher than the bill you received a year ago for the same period, because of increased use, i.e. higher kilowatt-hours. In such cases, a fair comparison can only be made by calculating the bill, using the increased consumption at the old rate, and comparing this amount, with your present bill.compare your use INCREASED LOAD Again, many customers such as garages, service stations, refresh­ ment stands, etcetera, have increased their demand by installing additional or larger equipment. In such cases, their bills may now be ■ increased, since the higher demand or peak load results in a larger number of kilowatt-hours being billed under the first and second block rates. Some consumers using electricity in very small amounts have received minimum bills. In these cases it should be noted that they are . entitled to use additional electricity, as allowed for in the .minimum charge, without extra cost.USE what . PAY FOR YOU These explanations are given as a guide to assist you in applying the new rates. If you need further information, ask your Rural District Superintendent NEW SERVICES Wartime restrictions and difficulties add considerably to the problem of providing electric service. Your Rural District Superintendent will connect approved farm serviced as quickly as the shortage of materials and manpower will permit.
