ELECTRONIC DEVICE
ANSWERS TELEPHONE
If' you sometimes hesitate to
leave your home or office because
you're afraid of missing a tele-
phone call, the latest electrdnic de-
vice to appear in Ontario can go
16. long way toward solving your
problem,
'You now can.have an automaton
answer your telephone •and take
messages from the caller, when you
are absent. Admittedly, 'a "secre-
tary" made of tubes, relays and
Wire is not as attractive as the
kind that uses lipstick, but it does
have trim lines. The equipment is
encased in a compact console about
the size of a table radio and har-
monizes with most'office and home
furnishings.
One of Ontario's first automatic
telephone answering, and recording
sets have been installed by the
Bell Telephone company at Aurora,
in' the office of a chartered ac-
countant. Others are scheduled to
go into service elsewhere in Ont-
ario shortly.
When' the telephone rings,. the
automaton on duty answers, deliv-
ering a pre-recorded message up
to 28 seconds long, inviting the
'caller to .,leave a message. The
equipment gives the caller up to
half-a-minute of message time. A
total of 10 minutes message time
can be recorded on any number of
calls.
A series of double beep tones
tells the caller when to start re-
cording, and a second pair . of
beeps tells when the recording
period is inearly ended. All mes-
sages are recorded on a revolving
drum, and can be erased after the
play-back, when no longer requir-
ed. If the user wishes, ,he may ad-
just the 'equipment for answering
only, without taking messages.
Most likely to benefit from this
built-in telephone ' attendant are
doctors,, lawyers, insurance and
real estate agents, television re-
pairmen; and others who main-
tain small offices' without suffi-
cent _personnel to necessitate a
full-time attendant. The set works
with individual 'residence or busi-
ness telephone lines, or in conjunc-
tion with a switchboard,

• NEW HAZARDS ADDED
. Small motor boats, which have afforded limitless
pleaSure to their owners for years, .are now falling into
ill! repute,, due to the frequency of accidents in `which
they are involved. The fact that the number ,of
boats in operation has doubled and tripled and is still
growing, of course, has nultiplied - the dangers, for
.traffic on the water has increased, just as it has on
the highways.
One of the great objectionS to boating,. however,
has arisen because of a whole new 'claSs of operators—
the young and ,reckless drivers.who go slightly crazy
when they feel the thrust and power of a big motor on
a comparatively small-Mat, Their,lack of concern and
safety of themselves and others has created a serious
situation. in many of the heavily populated summer
vacation areas.
Naturally we don't suggest that younger boat
operators are reckless. Many of them are careful and
well-behaved, but the minority of those who want to
get at• the controls-of water borne hot rods is by far
the most conspicuous.
INTERESTING NEWS
Since the Second World ar our local farmers
have practically gone out of 'making that delectable
delicacy of Devonshire Cream which has been so popu-
lar with many of our citizens -through the years,, says
the. Bowm.anville Statesman.
However, if we can believe what a United King-
dom trade' paper says on this subject we will still be
able to buy this shipped direct from "dear old Devon,"
due to a new process of freezing the cream.- foi; export
trade, Don't take our word for this welcome state-
ment. Here is what the English paper says, copied in
the Ontario Milk Producer journal :
Devonshire cream, long a favourite dish, especially
with fruit, throughout Britain, may soon become a
world-known delicacy, even in the hottest climate,
A firm in Newton Abbot, in the southwestern
English county of Devon itself, have developed a
rnethOd of quick-freezing Devonshire clotted cream so
th‘a,t it can be exported 'in a frolzen state.
The first consignments are ready for dispatch to
British Columbia, ingapore and Kuwait and further
'trial consignments are to be sent to other parts, of the
world, too.

Often *e feel that Ontario (!!till do with a little
— .even, to. its own citizens. This province is -
'0 blessed , With interesting and beautiful spots that
et Uld spend every holiday and long week-end for
its exploring -and enjoying.rour 'own sqrroundings. •
...Last week-end we accompanied: three fltends- on
#e' 'of the most fascinating excursions we have ever
ken, E'intering the Trent Canal system at its Georg-
...Ian ,:Bay terminus, we travelled by boat eastward,
'through.
the Severn River, Sparrow Lake and. the con-
ttecting links of man-made canal to a point just a few
miles 'north of Orillia." The trip upstream lasted the
better part of a clay, with stops to enjoy the scenery
and tinker .with the outboard. It included 'passage
through Ova locks. and over two marine rail\yays. The
return journey proved equally interesting, after a
night, under canvas beside 'the canal.
The Trent Canal is one of the oldest waterways in
the province, though it now carries mostly pleasure
craft,..- since its. facilities are not large enough, to per-
mit -the,. passage of large vessels. The system follows
the-course we have already described, drops southerly
-:through Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe and then
:swings off to the -eak, The canal links Lake .Sinicoe
with Balsam and Cameron. T,akes in the Lindsay area,
and joins them to the Kawartha Lakes, continues
south to Rice Lake and on into the Trent River which
NN,-atiders. its way down to Trentorrand so into Lake ,
nta ri
The entire. waterway is about :240 miles in length
and contains manylocks and the two marine railways
we have mentioned, vvhiCh'permit bbats to climb over
the dam sites at Big Chute and Swift Rapids in . the
Severn.'
American yachtsmen seem 'to be particularly aware
of the delights which await vacationers along' the
Tient system, for they were to be seen in large num-
bers all along the way. There were dozens of smaller
boats as well,, but they constituted mostly local traffic,
proceeding .for limited distances along the canal and
TiVer. However,. there is nothing to prevent the small'
bOat owner-from travelling '.the entire .leligth of the
W:aterway; particularly if he is not averse to sleeping,
out in the open when night falls. 'rlie course never
tatikes'one out of sight of land and the camping and
filhing spots alono•
b
the way are . tempting indeed.'
As a matter of fact you don't have to own a boat
tolenjoy.many of the beauties of the Trent Waterway.
GOod. roads touch the canal and itSlakes and rivers at
dozens `of points .and such' places as Buckhorn, Bur-
leigh ralls;$obcaygeon, Hastings, port Severn, etc.,
alie Well worth your attention' at holiday time, If you
are .interested- in fishing you will find no better iii
;Southern Ontario , than soiree of ' the points' we have.
mentioned here. •• • .
Ontario is a .vacationer's dream .at this season of
year. Make the most of it While, the -Wartft We-a-
:ther lasts.
