There is no contract and the agreement can be terminated at any time. The Royal Bank of Canada was the only other bank to submit a proposal, Mr. Dunlop said, noting that others in the county were notified but do not have such service available. Giving his reasons for favoring the Bank of Commerce proposal, the business administrator mentioned: — Courier service will be supplied. — The superannuation commission will accept a magnetic tape record of required teacher data directly from the bank twice a year, — Discussions with administrators in other counties showed good results. — The bank can supply the board 'a comprehensive cost breakdown by school, department and type of expense and can give countywide summaries. — The Bank of Commerce has considerable experience in the area,, having developed its accounting system more than four years ago. Now hundreds of customers use the service provided by the bank's five Data Centres across Canada. Farmers use plastic pipe "Over a million feet of corrugated plastic drainage pipe have been installed in Ontario, and the product has only been available outside Europe for the last two. years," says Professor R. W. Irwin of the University of Guelph's School of Agricultural Engineering. Although farmers have done this without any research results on the product in this country, Professor Irwin believes the corrugated plastic pipe will prove a very effective material for land drainage. "There shouldn't be any problems with the lasting qualities," he says. "The same type of plastic has been used by public utilities for underground telephone and hydro cables for years and there have not been many problems." "We've done some work to determine possible damage by certain rodents," notes this engineer. "We tried feeding some plastic to muskrats, but they weren't interested. However, a muskrat enlarging a burrow and finding the plastic pipe in his way will, no doubt, eat through it, Or, if trapped inside he will eat his way out. If the pipes are properly installed with an 8-foot steel pipe running back some 5 feet into the bank, there should be no problems," Professor Irwin believes that farmers have been so willing to accept the plastic pipe, despite its extra cost of one or two cents in most areas, because of the ease of handling. A fraction of the weight of clay tile, plastic pipe relieveS the farmer of a time-consuming and laborious chore during installation.

A storm centred over Minnesota on Friday, Nov. 7, 1913, caused the U.S. Weather Bureau to order storm warnings hoisted that morning in Great Lakes ports. Southwest gales, however, are not unusual at, that time of year, and only routine precautions 'were taken. The decision of many Great Lakes skippers to proceed with sailing plans proved disastrous, for what was being forecast proved to be the most destructive storm in the history of the lakes. 'That night the storm-certtO was over Marquette, Mialligen% and on Saturday morning it moved eastward to Sault Ste. Marie. There was still no great concern by nightfall, when it was located about Alpena, Michigan, having swung southeastward during the day, but that night it „struck Lake Huron with unprecedented savagery. The wind was now coupled with a blizzard, and together they caused widespread havoc, notably in Milwaukee, Chicago and Cleveland. This, however, was nothing compared with what was happening on the lakes. The firkt reported marine casualty was the old wooden steamer "Louisiana," of ' Cleveland, which was driven ashore near Green Bay, Wisconsin, and immediately destroyed by fire. Like those of other ships driven aground, her crew were later to consider themselves fortunate. Few r"lakers" of the time had radio equipment, hence their owners and the relatives of their crews could only conjecture how they had fared. The worst imaginings fell short of reality, particularly as concerned ships on Lake Huron. The first intimation of disaster was the report of a vessel upside down, a dozen miles northeast of Port Huron, Michigan. The report came on Nov. 10, yet it was the first confirmation of a vessel totally lost among the many missing on Lake Huron. Her identity remained a mystery until the following Saturday, when a diver established her to be the "Charles S. Price," of Cleveland, one of the largest and newest ships on the Lakes. She sank two days later. Meanwhile the forebodings occasioned by the discovery of the "Price" were being confirmed as bodies and wreckage were washed ashore, particularly along the coast of Huron County. Incredible though it seemed, it now gradually became certain that seven other freighters had simply vanished: the "James Carruthers," "Wexford" and "Regina" of Toronto, and the "Isaac M. Scott," "John A. McGean," "Argus" and "Hydras," all of Cleveland. No trace has ever since been found of any of them. Not a soul survived from any of their crews, which totalled some 187. The work of recovering and identifying their bodies was undertaken by the Welfare Plan Committee of the Lake Carriers' Association. The committee, headed by Capt. E. O. Whitney of Ashtabula, Ohio, made its headquarters at the Bedford Hotel in Goderich. Fewer than one-third of the missing men were ever found, and not all of those were identified. Five unidentified bodies were buried at Goderich and three at Kincardine. Though Lake Huron bore the brunt of the destructibn, two steamers were lost on Lake Superior, two barges on Lake Michigan and a'lightship on Lake Erie, with a total loss of some 57 lives. As well, six other steamers were wrecked on various lakes, two of them on Lake Huron, and became "constructive total losses," while another nineteen were damaged by stranding. What actually happened to the eight ships sunk on Lake Huron will likely never be known. With wind velocities in the vicinity of sixty m.p.h., waves were running as high as thirty feet or more, sufficient to tear off hatch covers and fill a laden ship in a few minutes. Some may even have collided in the blinding snow. How the "Price" turned turtle rather than foundering like the others, has been a matter ' for conjecture ever since. The best guess may be that her cargo of coal shifted as she rolled, carrying her all the way over and smashing its way through her hatches as she went. There would thus be sufficient air trapped in her bottom to keep her afloat. The storm played no favorites as regards age or size. The "James Carruthers," 550 feet long, had been launched at Collingwood only that spring, and had been built with a particular eye to strength and seaworthiness. The "Wexford," on the other hand, was the oldest of all those lost, having been built in Britain in 1883, and was only half the length of the "Carruthers." There have been other gales since, that of November 11-12, 1940, being particularly violent, but then only two ships were lost, and a total of 67 lives. The main reason for Lie disparity may be found in the improved methods of weather prediction, the radio direction-findihg equipment by then carried in most ships, and the greatly improved system of hatch covers installed in most of them. Add war-developed radar to these improvements, and the likelihood of a 1913-style catastrophe ever happening again is very small. HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO Delicious the first day but dull the next? Leftover cake can be a problem. Home economists at Macdonald Institute, University of Guelph, suggest using hot or cold sauces, canned fruits, syrup or cream toppings, Served over cake pieces • and garnish with nuts, marshmallows, or coconut, this recipe transforms leftover cake into a tempting dessert: Combine broken pieces of cake with miniature marshmallows, drained pineapple tidbits, chopped walnuts, maraschino cherries and whipped cream.

The Clinton boys lost the first game, but were victors in the second, — Staff Photo Plaque will commemorate great 1913 storm Three wins in the last week tied the Clinton Colts for third-place in the Huron Perth lupe. Playoff dates had not been *cared at press timer but Newt Collins, acting manager, said they might begie this weekend. In Wednesday's home game, the Colts survived both a sudden rain storm and a 10.5 deficit after two innings of play. St, Marys pounded out four triples, a: home run and a single for 10 runs in the second. Clinton had scored five in the first inning. Ed Deer settled down, allowing only one run in the fifth and sixth innings while his teammates tallied two in the third and the go-ahead four runs in the fourth, St. Marys tied it up in the fifth. In Clinton's half of that inning, consecutive singles were hit by Bob Livermore, Don Bartliff, and Brad Dutot. Scoring fcr Clinton were Paul Pickett, Butch Fleet, Bob Livermore (3), Laurie Colquhoun, Don Bartliff (2), Brad Dutot (4), Rick Fremlin and Ed Daer. Pickett gave up 11 hits, including three home runs, in the Colts' exciting 7-6 win over second-place Thorndale in an away game. Laurie Colquhoun put the ball over the fence in the first inning, scoring Bob Livermore ahead of him for an early Clinton lead. Brad Dutot led off the second inning with a double, then scored on Pickett's single to put Clinton ahead 3.0. Bob Livermore's single and a walk to Laurie Colquhoun set the way for Don Bartliff to knock in the two runners on his single • to give Clinton a commanding 5M lead. Pickett, who had given up • two singles to Thorndale in the first, was touched in the third for two more, allowing'one run. The Colts used two players from the Lions Midget club in, the game.
