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, GORE RECTOR GOING TO OWEN SOUND GORRIE — Announcement was made On.

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. the Wingham AdvancetTimes Published at 'Wingham,.

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. •• • .
