During World War I he was a civilian employee with the aero­ nautic squadron as supervisor of maintenance of transportation and while overseas contracted tuber­ culosis. Surviving are his widow, the for m e r Noreen Gailbraith, of Stratford; a second brother, Ern­ est, of Miami, Fla.; and three sis­ ters, Mrs. England, of Calgary; Mrs. Agnew, of Winnipeg; and Mrs, McTavish, of Shakespeare. BIBLE STUDY AMONG INDIANS — It was over 150 years ago that the first translation of the Bible, into the Cherokee language was done by a young Indian chief, John Norton. His work is still being carried on in the same territory in which he lived, at Brantford, Ont., where the Six Nations Indians are organizing a branch of the Upper Canada Bible Society for the Mohawks. Mrs. Alfred Martin, left,, who runs the Mo­ hawk museum’ at Oslwekcn, reads from the Indian Bible to one of the Indian students. —Central Press Canadian Old F ire Bell, Pumper Museum Attractions Playground Patter By BOVG SMITH Horizontal Silos Said Economical A horizontal silo is an econo­ mical way of storing silage, It is cheaper to build, easier to fill and if the silage is stored under proper conditions it produces as satisfactory a product as other methods of storage. In addition, the horizontal silo provides a means of self-feeding for cattle. D. J. Cooper of the Division of Field Husbandry, Soils and Agricultural Engineering, Cen­ tral Experimental Farm at Ot­ tawa, advises the location chosen for the building of a horizontal silo should be well drained to avoid bog holes caused toy seep­ age and spring run-off. The size of the silo should be determined by the amount o'f material to be stored. One cubic foot of silage weighs between 40- 50 pounds so that a silo 48x12 x 6 feet wide in order to provide width for tractor packing. The side walls of the silo should be sloped and made with 2-inch lumber, tightly fitted to avoid spoilage. The boarding may be either vertical or horizontal with supporting posts 4 to 6 feet apart. Sidewalls should be hank­ ed half-way up with earth. There are several ways of fill­ ing a silo. The loads of chopped material can be unloaded by hand or can be pulled off by rope sling or a self-unloading wagon may be used. However, as each load is put in the silo it should be levelled off. Packing must be carried out while the silo is being filled. The amount of packing will be governed by the moisture con­ tent and maturity of the mater­ ial. Early cut grass silage with high moisture will not require as much packing as more mature material with a lower moisture content. The longer the cut of the material the more packing will be required. The packing of the silo by tractor should con­ tinue—for some time after the silo has been filled. When the packing is complet­ ed the silage should be covered with from six to 12 inches of shavings. Then, to lessen the risk of freezing, just before freeze-up the top and sides should be covered -•with hay. Exeter’s old fire-bell, that was erected in Francistown before Ex­ eter became a. village, and Credi- ton’s old pumper fire-engine now occupy places of distinction in the Huron County Pioneer Museum at Goderich. According to an ar­ ticle in The Stratford Beacon- Herald, a. young Hollander, newly arrived in Canada, was one of a group visiting the museum and came upon the handle of the clapper-rope and' naturally want­ ed to pull it. Herbie Neill, the curator, sur­ prised him. “Go ahead,” said Mr. Neill. “Give it a pull.” So he pulled, and it rang, and everyone in the museum building went about six inches straight up from the floor. Exeter is a scattered-out town, with wide streets, and houses on big lots; the old fire-bell was de­ signed so that when it rang, everyone in the village would hear it, right then,- and come a-running. One good stroke of the clapper, inside the museum build­ ing at Goderich, brings a CLANG that makes you feel as if you were right inside the bell. All the noise that would fill the outdoors area of Exeter goes as far as the museum wall, and comes back again. The Exeter fire-bell pretty well completes the ‘line-up of pioneer fire-fighting equipment for which the biggest room on the ground floor has been assigned. One of the impressive new additions to the collection is the original Crediton 30-man pumper, which was bought about 1860, as the latest and fanciest piece of fire­ fighting machinery then avail­ able. Like the 1S73. Goderich steam fire-engine, and the 1351 Clinton six-man pumper, the big Crediton engine has been rebuilt and re­ paired, and given a fresh coat of paint, since it came under Herbie Neill's care at the museum. Just to look at it makes one regret having been born a couple of generations too late to see it working at a fire. Old-timers say that when 15 strong men lined up at the handles on one side, and 15 more on the other side, and began to put their strength to the work, the old Crediton pumper would really deliver wa­ ter in a hurry. It took two strong men just, to hold the hose, and if they didn’t brace themselves, the 30 men on the pumper han­ dles could deliver enough pres­ sure to knock the two men on the hose flat on their bapks. As the Huron museum starts into its third season, schools are beginning to take advantage of it. In one week of June this year, i 11 schools visited Goderich to | have their pupils see the pioneer i museum. Most of them were from Huron county, but one was from Masonville, in Middlesex, and an­ other’ from New Prussia in Waterloo county. Museum visitors, in the old school building on North St. in Goderich, are not encouraged to ring the old Exeter fire-bell. Indeed, if evryone who might come along should ring the bell, it would probably shiver the brick building to dust. None the less, Herbie Neill has it rigged to be able to carry out his central i purpose, that everything in the place be in working order. There is no sign on the fire-bell rope saying, “Don’t touch;” and there isn’t a sign anywhere in' the building saying, “Don’t touch.” The emphasis is all the other way. If visitors want to climb up on the timber frame of the old millet-huller and start it thumping, that’s fine with Herbie Neill. He rebuilt the millet- huller, to put it back in working Here in. Exeter we are very fortunate, I feel, to have service clubs which are so interested in the welfare of the community. I said this once before and will re­ peat it. The clubs joined forces to install a trap rock floor in the arena and ah’eady we are reaping the benefits of having a good floor. Monday morning the play­ grounds were wet; consequently, we were able to switch our pro­ gram to the arena. How the children are beaming with thanks to the Kinsmen and Kinettes for being responsible for providing supervisors and equip­ ment so they may have a place to go and have a healthy, happy day of play. Registration Bay July ” Over 200 registered on opening day and they are still registering. Oui* objective is every boy and girl in Exeter and area between the ages of three and fifteen. We even have some two-year-olds. Official Opening Ceremonies On Friday, July 3, the Rev. Donald Sinclair and the Rev. H. J. Snell officiated at the opening ceremonies along with Ray Frayne, president of the Kins­ men, Through the cooperation of the local clergymen, we have in­ corporated into our’ program a very important part of recreation, the spiritual side, and every Fri­ day morning we will start off the day by having a religious service. Three playgrounds are operat­ ing this year. On Mondays and Wednesdays, two supervisors are in charge at Victoria Park and on Tuesdays and Thursdays two supervisors are at the new play­ ground at Queen's Park. Every day Monday through Friday, Kinsmen’s public school play­ ground operates with a full schedule of activities from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Our attendance reports show the interest—in four days of operation we have had a total attendance of over 900, and we expect to increase. If you have children visiting you, send them up, we will be happy to have them. This week is “Nature and Car­ nival’’ week. Each group has had a hike. Arts and crafts, singing and quiet games, story-telling, active games, stunts, dramatics, volleyball, softball, and baseball are only a few of the activities. Some of the special events are: minor league baseball and soft­ ball have started their schedules. And if you think high school cheering sections are noisy, you should hear the girls’ softball cheering sections with their yells. They have real spirit. A scavenger hunt turned up a great many useful articles and a lot of fun was had by all, King and Queen of the play­ ground were nominated Wednes­ day and will be elected Thursday. Janice Hamilton and Jim Russell are leading at present. The King and Queen reign for one week and at the “Penny Carnival” on Friday preceded by a “Penny Hunt" on Thursday. Parents are welcome to visit the playground at any time, hap­ py to have you. It looks like a good summer. I think, as did the staff at Camp Keelmora, that Exeter has, not one of the best, but the best staff of any and all. Julie Dun­ lop, Marilyn Skinner, Joan Thom­ son, Trudy Pickard, Dick. Taylor and Bill Pollen, a new and wel­ come addition this weeks make up the staff.

When he conducts parties of school children through the mus­ eum, Herbie Neill has his most fun in the room devoted to pion­ eer farm machinery. One of his recent acquisitions there is an early treadle-style horse-power machine,' used before the time of the rotary horsepower, to drive threshing machines. The principle of the old treadle machine is that three horses, walking uphill on a tim­ ber treadle, turned a cylinder. On the end of the cylinder was a shaft and pulley, from which a belt carried the power to the threshing machine. Herbie doesn’t have three horses on the premises to de­ monstrate how the old machine works, but he has found that if he puts 12 or 13 good, active schoolboys up on. the treadle, and gets them walking in step, they can develop enough power t.o turn the cylinder. That has. accordingly, become part of the standard routine when a school class tours the museum. It helps the rest of the tour, too. If some of the boys in the class have started to get fidgety and restless and noisy, five minutes on the treadle demonstration takes enough steam out of them to make them reasonably quiet for the rest of the tour, ❖ fl fl fl Huron County Council, which was lukewarm about the pioneer museum project at its launching three years ago, is solidly sup­ porting it now. Money has been found this year to give the build­ ing a coat of paint, and to build new glass-fronted cupboards for some of the collections in the museum.

EXETER — —*" HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL ON BALD PATES ■— The ven- turies-old hope of bald men for a substance that grows bait is being revived in Montreal and Toronto by the injections of a cortisone-like fluid obtained from hog pituitary glands. Sev­ eral men have volunteered to test the substance and so far some report a fuzz appearing where vast open spaces were in evidence. Others, after taking injections of the “hairmone”, report it grew hair, but didn’t hold it. When the. injections were, stopped, the. new hair fell out. This optimist is having a new hairline pencilled in. -—Central Press Canadian TELEPHONE 65 MAIN ST., EXETER | Mechanics’ Paradise!
