CANADA BECOMES TIME CONSCIOUS pause, fdr 10 seconds to resume at 10,59, continue for 50 seconds, follow­ ed by a second pause of 10 seconds with a find telegraph signal to an­ nounce 11.00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. • These signals are guide and check • to 5,000 clocks serving the public and used in safe train operation. In des­ patched office the clock must be within 10 seconds of observatory time and, ordinary station agents’ clocks must be within 30 seconds, the cost of furnishing all with the precision; clocks used in despatching being pro­ hibitive. Watch inspection regulations nor­ mally affect 13,000 employees of the Canadian National Railways who twice monthly report their timepieces to approximately 250 inspectors from coast to coast. Comparison clocks are established at points where train and engine crews start their runs, watch­ es must be compared and any error noted in the train register. Members of train crews also compare watches with each other before departure and frequently when on duty, leaving no­ thing to chance in assuring accuracy. Canadians became “time” conscious during the Royal Visit when millions of watches were constantly checked in order to ensure that their owners would be prompt at a selected loca­ tion to watch the Royal procession or to see the Royal Train, according to W. E. Bell, Chief of Time Service, Canadian National Railways, writing in the Canadian National Magazine. On the National System time pre­ cision in moving the Royal Train was, a routine matter, explains Mr. Bel, adding that thousands of timepieces, both watches and clocks, used in train movements are checked daily with 75% seldom showing error of more than 10 seconds. The travelling pub­ lic are daily protected against time failure in exactly the same way as were Their Majesties, the King and Queen, on the Royal. Train. The Canadian National Railways obtain correct time daily from McGill University Observatory at Montreal and at 10.58 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, the system telegraphs become otherwise silent to receive time sig­ nals. The actual beats of the McGill Observatory clock pendulum are transmitted into Morse dots. From 10.58 they are heard for 50 seconds,' JUNIOR SECTION WESTERN FAIR GROWS YEARLY “Through the co-operation and en­ thusiasm of the young people of Wes­ tern Ontario there is gradually grow­ ing up with our juniottr activities, a fair within a. fair,” Walter D. Jackson, secretary of the Western Fair Assoc­ iation, said in an interview this week. “From a small beginning the boys” judging and calf club competitions will this year draw entries from ten counties. In livestock judging, there will now be both senior and juniour divisions. Our advice from the On­ tario Department of Agriculture is that 22 calf clubs have been formed in this area and we expect they all will be in competition. Entries will come from Bruce, Essex, Elgin, Kent, Huron, Lambton, Norfolk, Middlesex^ ! Oxford and Perth,” Junior Institute girls’ activities this year will see entries from an area wid­ er than before, the secretary said. Girls, by means of essays, team dem­ onstrations, and skits, will vie for hon­ ours in preparation of foods, origin­ ality and skill in selection and ar­ rangement of home furnishings and clothing. The Junior section, Mr. Jackson claimed, would reach its height at this year's exhibition, Sept. 11 to 16. It was, he said, moving forward under the momentum of youth itself, with every section of Western Ontario re­ presented. He declared, also, that the whole policy and pattern of the w'ork was being largely shaped by the Jun­ ior Farmer and Junior Institute move­ ments. is such a just can’t flirt,” she trust him my dear,”her friend.
