BIG BATTERIES -- The commercially -supplied power at the new exchange building is of the
alternating type. The telephone equipment, however, operates on direct current, the change
being made by generators linked to these banks of storage batteries. The generators operate
at the correct speed to keep the batteries at the required level. Here, Vincent Austin, of
Northern Electric, makes a hydrometer test,
HERBERT CROXFOTD, Northern Electric Company technician, works on test board in new tele-
phone office to see if equipment is ready to start connecting calls early Sunday morning. Test
board will be used constantly to check operating efficiency of all equipment after dial system
in Wingham is in full swing.

eelceless Keeper"
Boon to Anglers
Anglers long have sought a
method of handling the fish
they catch so as to avoid spoil-
ing. Frequently, in a "back in"
camp, an ice chest is impract-
ical. Under such circumstances,
an " Iceless Fish Keeper" is
claimed to keep fish from spoil-
ing for from 48 to 72 hours, re-
gardless of temperature in shade
or sun. It is described in the
State of New York Conservation
Department's "Conservationist"
as follows:
"Split opening at one side of
top pillow case for inserting fish
and ferns. Hang on limb. Fish
must be gutted and gilled im-
mediately after catching and
slime or mucin wiped from the
inside and outside of each. Place
fish and ferns in layers so that
no two fish are in contact. Do
not use common leaves orgrass
as these tend to mat and will
not give sufficient air space.
"Hang awater-filled tin can
or small plastic bag with a hole
in the bottom above thepillow
case so that water drips slowly
at neck of pillow case to keep
the entire surface of caie moist.
Evaporation causes a reduction
of temperature inside the case
which keeps the contents cool.
" If using tin can, insert small
plug of wood to regulate slow
drip of water. The water may
cause the wood to swell and,
therefore, needs regulating. If
using a plastic bag, two or three
pinholes are sufficient.
"Thismethod also eliminates
fly contamination, (Be sure to
hang where the raccoons can't
get at it)".
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service at Ann Arbor, Michi-
gan, says that the only satis-
factory method of preserving
fish without refrigeration and,
at the same time, convenient
to the angler, is salting, apply-
ing salt to the inside and out-
side of the eviscerated fish,
then packing them in dry salt,
(rock or canners' salt). Thus
they can be held for three or
four days without developing
any appreciable bacterial load.
