Last Friday night one or the neigh­ bors hung out his thermometer and in the morning it registered ten degrees below zero. Some of our neighbors were slightly startled on Friday even­ ing, when a limb fell onto one of the hydro wires which caused quite a commotion. There were several bright flashes of light­ ning. However no damage was done. The hydro men were soon ■on hand and attended to the cause. The W.M.S. of Cromarty held their annual meeting in the church on Friday last. There was a good attendance and a number of ladies from Staffa were present. ■Mr. Lloyd Miller and little son were visiting in Cromarty on Sunday last. The roads in this community are in very good condition ow­ ing to the snow plow which is operated quite frequently. There is a grfeat amount of snow piled on the side of the road which makes it hard getting into the gateways. Mrs, John Scott, who has been under the doctor’s care, is slightly improved. We hope for a turn for the better very soon.

This is why more than six hundred Canadian companies arc making useful and beautiful things of this versatile metal. Aluminum products range all the way from artificial limbs to railway cars, from muzzles for lobster’s claws to bridges, from toys to aircraft. Aluminum is versatile because it is so light, so durable and so economical. VERSATILE ...and UNIVERSAL Every country in the world is to­ day buying Canadian Aluminum produced at Arvida, Canada, home of the largest Aluminum smelter in the world. The “Alcan” ingot has become a major factor in world trade — and a valuable source of the foreign exchange which Canada needs to coyer her own buying abroad. MONTREAL • QUEBEC • TORONTO * VANCOUVER » WINDSOR Page 9* So named because more than a million dollars were spent on research, designing, dies, fix­ tures and engineering which went into its development, the cab is one of the outstanding post-war advancements incorpor­ ated in the 1948 line of Ford “bonus built” trucks which 'are now on display in showrooms of A. O. Elliot, Ford and Mon­ arch dealer. The idea behind the new cab is to give the operator the nearest thing to living room comfort possible. This new cab is a full seven inches wider at the floor line and has wider doors, set further ahead than ■the preceding models for easier access. There is more head room and there’s a three-way air control system that completely ventilates the cab. Window .glass area has been increased by 14 per cent featuring a wide-vision, one-piece windshield. A new coach-type seat is standard equipment, The seat back angle is independently ad­ justable while the whole seat moves easily back and forward on roller bearings. The cushions have high resiliency, individual­ ly wrapped coil springs while more uniform seating surface and longer wear result from the use of a rubber impregnated curled hair pad in addition to the usual cotton pad. The cab, mounted on a new, level action suspension, features improved weatherproofing and is insulated against vibration, noise and frame weave ’by rub­ ber pads and rubber-insulated bolts at both front corners, and level action links in torsion type rubber bushings at the rear corners.
