Exactly 13 years after the manufacturing of North America's first
diesel locomotive the "old 900," at Canadian Locomotive Company at
Kingston, Ont, this same company introduced its first consolidated-type diesel locomotive at a recent dedication ceremony. The gray and maroon
diesel, which cost $400,000 and includes two units, each developing 1,600
horsepower, was christened by Et, Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of trade .,
and commerce, seen above with Robert Morse, Jr., president of the
company, Mr, Howe said Canadian railways are switching to diesel
locomotives to meet high operating coals and growing competition be-
cause of their cheaper maintenance.

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of a dear wife
and mother, Beatrice Isobel, wife of
Roderick McKay, who passed away
three years ago, August 28, 1948.
—Lovingly remembered by her hus-
band and family.
Wednesday night of last week the
' WingheM Crossett Mereurys dropped
I their fixture with the Kincardine team
here by a 6.4 count, The Lakesiders
'snared their entire score on unearn-
ed runs, and the outstanding play of
the game was Sparrow's home run in
the eighth, Both pitchers were in
good form, Sparrow dealing 15
strike-outs and Sullivan nine.
The Wingham boys opened strong
when both Westlake and Seli crossed
the plate in the first frame. However
that was the last business the home
!boys managed until Sparrow's homer
in the eight, followed by a lone run
by Crewson in the ninth.
Kincardine scored O'Brien in the
first, Bell in the third, O'Brien, Forbes
and Bell in the fourth and Bell again
in the seventh.

On Friday evening the Centralia 1 IR,C.A.F. Flyers came to Wingham
for a scheduled game in the Inter-
! mediate "A" loop, and to take a 3-0
defeat from the Mercurys.
Two of the three Wingham runs
i were brought in in the second frame
when Westlake and Foster crossed
the plate. Gardner completed the
.scoring picture in the seventh.
The Mercurys didn't find Thornton
too hard to hit, the latter managing
only four strike-outs, while Sparrow
struck out ten of the batters who
faced him. The Centralia boys col-
lected only two hits from Sparrow
and Thornton gave up eight to the
Wingham batters.

THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE
The Exeter Times-Advocate of Aug-
ust 23, reports a Goderich court
case of Aug, 18, in which two young
men escaped conviction because their
offence was not indictable under the
Canada Temperance Act, The magis-
trate described their offence "disrupt-
ing the petite of the town"—"interfer-
ing with peaceful citizens." "rowdy-
ism"---No one ever claimed that such
an offene6 was indictable under the
Canada Temperance Mt. But every-
one knows that it is a breach of the
Criminal code.—who blundered that
these men were charged with law
infraction tinder the C,T.A,? Who
blundered that they were not charg-
ed under the Crininal Code? When
Such offenCes as are described above
are committed the people of Huron
want administration under the crim-
inal code and they do not want words
of contempt for the Canada Ternper-
atice Act which is not applicable to
the case, Advt,

REINSTATEMENT OF POLICE
CHIEF RECOMMENDATION
OF COMMITTEE
Reinstatement of Chief of Police R.
C. MacKenzie, to that position was
recommended on Thursday night by
the police committee of the town
council and ratified by the council,
meeting as a committee of the whole.
The reinstatement motion will be
passed at the next council meeting to
become official, since the motion sus-
pending Chief Mackenzie was passed
(at the open council meeting on Aug.
3rd.
The motion to restore Mr. Mac-
kenzie to the office he has held for
nearly 20 years was made by Council-
lor J. E. Fraser and seconded by De-
puty Reeve Gordon M. Brown. The
former is a member and the latter
chairman of the police committee.
Text of the motion as made avail-
able to the News Friday morning by
Mayor Joseph Chilvers is:
That after a most thorough inves-
tigation into the case of McKinney
vs our Chief of Police R. C. Macken-
zie, this Police Committee in com-
pany with the entire Council of the
Town of Kincardine do give our Chief
of Police the benefit of the doubt.
And whereas we do believe that Mr.
McKinney was unfairly dealt with we
do unanimously agree that evidence
is not sufficient to warrant the laying
of a charge.
Further we do reinstate R. C. Mac-
kenzie as our Chief of Police and
furthermore a vote of confidence be
given Mr. Mackenzie in favor of more
efficient service in the future and
expect a more diplomatic approach
to be used on the general public.
In a letter to the town clerk Mr.
McKinney complained he had been
insulted and abused by Chief Mac-
kenzie On July 18th,
On the strength of this letter of
complaint, the council agreed to the
police committee recommendation
August 3, that the chief be suspen-
ded pending an investigation of the
complaint.
The tnvestigatlon was held on Aug-
ust 9th.
When transcript of the evidence
then heard was available, the corn.,
niittee met to consider the next step
to take in settling the matter.

WATER IS STRUCK
AT 361-FOOT LEVEL
Nearly four months' drilling ' has
achieved results for E. F. Roberts &
Co., the Brantford firm •which has
been located in Clinton, as excellent
water has been struck at 361 feet and
Clinton Public Utilities Commission
officials feel certain there will be a
plentiful supply of water from the
source.
The new well brings to three the
number now drilled in town. The
third is more or less a safety meas-
ure, as there never has been any
scarcity as yet. Pumping at the pre-
sent time approximates about 30,000
gallons a day. The other wells came
in at 356 feet, five less than the lat-
est one. Clinton News-Record.
SHOW INTEREST IN
FARM POND PLAN
Eighteen Bruce County farmers
have applied for assistance in the
construction of farm ponds. Prof.
Frank Theakston of the department
of agriculture engineering O.A.C.
and County agricultural representa-
tive George R. Gear examined the
proposed sites and reported that most
would be excellent for conversion to
ponds.
First advantage of farm ponds is
the large supply of water for fire
protection.
Some farmers want them for wat-
ering stock, and then there is always
the angle of being able to stock them
with fish and they provide a good
place to go' swimming. A farmer us-
ually can't get away to the beach, but
he can have some of the advantage
at his own door.
There is always the possibility 'that
farmers might want to irrigate some
of their pastures. While experiences
of the past two years would make
one think that irrigation was entirely
unnecessary there are dry years and
irrigation may he considered as
insurance for a larger carrying capa-
city of livestock.
Mr. Grear said that the cost of erec-
ting a farm pond is not very great
and that most farm in Bruce could
profitably have one. He also com-
mends the arrangements made by
most townships with adjacent towns
and villages for the use of their fire
equipment.—Kincardine News.
