TO ENTFR EASIER ' TO HANDLE ; EASIER ’ TO LOAD Wants Extra Lights On Diagonal Road A letter from W. B. Conron, Diag onal Road, was read’ in council on Monday night, requesting that one or two extra street lights be installed on Diagonal Road, east of Carling Ter race. Mr. Conron said that lights in the area would be an advantage to the town in that they would tend to slow down traffic approaching from the east. He said that traffic at night usually doesn't slow down until it reaches a light. The letter also pointed out that another house was being built on Diagonal Road east of his own residence, which would provide an added reason for placing more lights in the area, Town Clerk W. A. Galbraith told council that additional lights would be installed by the Utiliies Commis sion at no charge to the town, but that a yearly charge of $15 per light would be made to cover hydro. After some discussion council turn ed the matter over to the streets com mittee for their consideration. Woeful note: Income tax came to Canada, as an emergency measure in 1917.

Galbraith, Wing ham, provincial representative; A. H. Erskine, Goderich, secretary-treasurer. Next board meeting will be held at Exeter. During the .past couple of years we have been hearing a l°t of talk about a new method of controlling the wea ther, or at least the amount of rain fall that you get in an area. By seed ing the tops of a certain kind of clouds with dry ice particles, it is possible to induce rainfall to drought stricken - areas, although as yet no one has learned how to shut off the water, once it starts to fall. To date a number of experiments have been conducted with a great deal of suc cess, and this summer an extensive program of rain making will get un- ’der way in Hawaii, where they need a lot of rain for the citrus fruit plan tations, Apparently, the Hawaiian cloud formations are ideal for rain making tests. However we don’t have to use dry ice to^make it rain, I have found, and no doubt this has been your experi ence, too. All you have to do is wash and polish your car and you are bound to witness a real cloudburst the next few hours, one that is sure to make your car nice and muddy again the first time you take it out on the road. Saturday, I had the aud acity to dust my potato patch for bug control, and as a result we had a lively shower a couple of nights later. Farmers will tell you that all you have’ to do is cut a field of hay, or move the threshing machine out of doors, ready for stook, threshing and they can bring on a downpour. If you visit with your cousins 15 miles away and leave all the bedroom windows up, it’s amazing how rapidly clouds will appear, and the rain will’soon be falling. My wife tells me that she has a foolproof way to make it rain. Every time she decides it’s house cleaning time, (women never seem to be able to definitely set a time, just a general time) and she gets the line filled with drapes, curtains, slip cov ers and so on, it starts to rain. The same goes for he Monday wash. It will be a smart person who can figure how one can apply the soap to the 'clothes, hang them out on the line, and wait for the rain to do the work for him. Did you ever plan to hold a picnic, a family reunion, an outdoor service on a Sunday afternoon, without won dering how you could be nice to the weather man. If you belong to a ser vice club you’ll have experienced the tantrums of the weather making fra ternity. Fall fairs and plowing match es and other organizations that have done something about this bothersome situation by taking out rain insur ance. It used to be a common occur- ance to have gar,den parties, although they have died out5 to a point. I think the weatherman can pat himself on the back for that situation. Actually this new system of making rainfall when we need it could be a great boon to the farmer, or the gardener, but actually, it’s not a new idea: Folks have been bringing on rain for years, without even half try ing. The only trouble is they have been going at it backwards, and bringing it on when it wasn’t needed. They didn’t need dry ice either, they just did the “What comes naturally”. “Our Town” Going Strong Dropped in to a rehearsal of "Our Town” the other night for a couple of minutes, to see how the thing was shaping up, and to tell the truth we couldn’t make head or tail of it. But don't let that throw you, because we’ve seen quite a few rehearsals in our time, and none of them would lead you to believe that anything, would ever come of them. Right now the play is in a very im portant stage, but one which from a mere spectator’s standpoint is apt to be a total loss. It’s known as the block- ing-in stage, and it’s not as formidable as you might think. In the more advanced theatrical circles the cast of a play is not asked to go home and learn their lines right away. Instead they first go through the “moves” as they are called, on the stage, reading the lines from their books. In this way they learn their “moves” at the same time as they learn their lines, making it easier for them to co-ordinate the two later on. For in any good play people don’t just stand op. the stage and deliver their lines. Instead (they move to and fro, always at the direction of the direc tor, to give the play movement and action. Most of this blocking in stage is over for the cast of “Our Town” and starting this week they will begin rehearsing complete acts of the play instead of bits and pieces here and there. Actually the bits and pieces idea is something’ Director Vin Dittmer gets the credit for. Knowing’that the large cast wouldn't be needed for every rehearsal, at the beginning, he broke the various acts in the plan into dif ferent scenes for rehearsal purposes and was thus able to carry on at re hearsals with only those actors who had parts in any given scene. As a result only those who were needed had to-attend rehearsals. Near the North Pole, Canada and Greenland are separated by only a few miles.
