Afraid of heights ? Then you
wouldn’t want to be one of the
'men who recently did repairs up
among the gargoyles of the
Peace Tower, atop the Parlia
ment Buildings in Ottawa, The
scaffolding, rising 280 feet, was
the highest ever erected in Cana
da. We were pleased, but not
surprised, that it was* made of
light, strong, easily assembled
aluminum tubing... 37,000 feet
of it, Saved a lot of time putting
up and taking down. And
incidentally saved Canadian tax
payers a tidy sum of money.

Wroxeter Public School pupils and
their parents held their annual school
picnic on Monday of last week at
Lobsinger's Park in Walkerton. About

Edgar. The children also enjoyed
wading and swimming.
The pupils of the junior room took
the opportunity to make the presenta
tion of a leather brief case, Yardleys
cosmetics and a lovely kerchief to
Mrs. Wearring, their teacher, who has
resigned after eleven years as assis
tant teacher. Helen Magee read an
address and Elaine Sanderson made
the presentation. Mrs. Wearring ex
pressed her deep appreciation of the
gift. A picnic lunch was served. Mrs.
Wearring will leave in September to
take up her new duties as teacher
on the staff at Thornhill. She will
be succeeded in Wroxeter school by
Mrs. Leslie Douglas, Wroxeter South.
The children were transported to

MASSEY-HARRIS FIRST WITH
FULL SCALE TEST TRACK
FOR FARM EQUIPMENT
Wide-spread and fast has been the swing to modern mechanization.
Urgent 'demands have been made upon implement engineers to
develop new models to keep up with the needs of agriculture.
To get information on materials, designs and features in hours and
days instead of the usual months and years, Massey-Harris designed
and built the first full scale test track for tractors and modern
power farm equipment.
' On this test track the machines lug heavy loads, bump and shake,
bounce and sway, jolt and jar, climb steep grades, and spin round
and round. As they go through the test, electronic instruments write
the inside story of stress and strains and complete records are kept
of the day to day wear and tear.
These controlled supervised tests help Massey-Harris engineers
design equipment that will offer more advantages in ease of opera
tion, long life with low upkeep cost and greater ability in saving tim6
and labour. For quality, satisfaction, and service with modern
mechanization, equip with Massey-Harris.
