UNWHOLESOME PEST INVADES HOMES Recently the Royal Ontario Museum has been appealed to by inquirers con- cerning the identity of a long-legged, hump-backed insect that sometimes infests houses. The insect in question is the Asiatic Camel Cricket. The term "Asiatic" is properly applied be, cause Asia was its original home, It is believed that this insect came from Japan many years ago with a shipment of umbrella plants. The term "camel" h'as reference to its humped back. The Camel Cricket is not a seriously destructivepest. It occasionally be-, comes excessively numerous in houses where it is objectionable for much the same reason as are cockroaches—that is, we just don't approve sharing our homes with a host of big unsanitary insects. Identifying and naming animals is one of the prominent jobs of a museum. It is important because the tiame of an animal is the key to all that is known about it. Your museum preserves extensive reference collec- tions of animals, among which the in- sect collection now numbers well over half a million specimens. Wife Preservers A eliciting or roaring in any gas hornet indicates that the t meta them- nelveS need adjustment, and you had better call smer gas company and b ay. thorn checked. A new principle of •burning anthra- cite, which will provide more efficient and economical heat for post-war homes, is illustrated in this diagram, The mechanism for applying the principle is simply a tube surrounded with 'a water jacket, A revolVing worm (A) introduces the coal auto- matically into one end of the tube, The coal burns in, the center of the tube (B), and the ash is discharged at the other end (C), 'Draft is provided by air which enters at the ash end of the tube (0) and is drawn through. the incoming coal by an induced draft fan (J) in the smoke pipe (H). No secondary air or secondary combustion space is necessary, because under proper conditions anthracite burns to complete and perfect combustion with- in its own area, Water (F)' is circu- lated around the tube by a water cir- culator (E) and carries the heat to the house through the outlet pipe (G). ,11110.0.1•101M11, -WA MIZZ)31U.IFTRIPT •TinirsdaY, ,Nov, 30th 1944,.

A, Cath- ers and Harry Mulvey, Harold Moffat He thanked the Members of this years' council for their co-operation and paid tribute to •those on active service, 8, young women and 50 young men. In reviewing County affairs, he said that Huron was one of the best Coun- ties 'financially in the Province of On- tario. $170,000 in victory Bonds have been purchased and set aside for post war work; and this year would close their books with an estimated surplus of $27,000. Only necessary work had been done on, the roads this year. The policy of the county is win the war first and then do other work, Health and hospitalization is one of the busiest committees and only just started. $25,000 bad been granted to Wingham Hospital, to be paid as work pregresses on the new addition. Four nurses will be engaged when available, to visit the schools of the county, He said that about 45% of the young men called up were rejected as unfit, and of these 30% could have been cured if they had been looked after in their school days.

The Council had purchased Victory Bonds in the different drives and after selling some of 'these they still held $4000. He explained the Bank interest charges. The County and Township rates were up, but the taxes were low- er, this, was due to an extra mill. sub- sidy by the Provincial Government and a grant of $1800 due to school area: The road subsidy this year, would exceed $4000. He said he had enjoyed working on' the Council for the past ten years, but was prepared to .step 'out for new blood.

James Breckenridge As he is not living in the Township now, he said, it was not his intention to qualify. He had 11 years of serv- ice on the council. As far. as the School Area plan is concerned he was '100% behind it when passed and still is. He was of the opinion that it was time for a change in Township schools.
