Believe it or not Matt Boyd, of the Ontario Hydro office here, is showing how to get rid of a fresh fall of snow on the side- walk. Actually he isn't doing anything himself, except pointing to an electric radiant heater installed over the office doorway, which melts the snow just about as fast as it comes down. Matt claims the boys at Hydro aren't really getting lazy—if they don't have to shovel snow, they can get more valuable work done.—That's what the man said.—A-T Photo.

Letters to the Editor The following letter was re- eived from Pete Cutter, who with his wife and daughter are on a trip to Europe. They ex- pect to return early in May. Dear Bob and Barry, We ran out of the snow about Brampton and didn't see much of it until we got to the States. There was a violent snowstorrn at Rochester, but it was nice when we arrived in New York. As soon as we got settled we did a bit of window shopping. New York is as busy as ever. Pat enjoyed the sights. The electric advertising signs are tremendous. In the morning we had breakfast at our hotel. It was beastly cold and blowing, but we walked to the Rockefeller Centre to show it to Pat. It still has the artificial skating rink among its tall skyscrapers. We got ready to go to the boat; both the Queen Elizabeth and the Sylvania were in dock. Our ship, the Sylvania is about 20, 000, with the Queen Eliza- beth 80, 000 tons. The Queen pulled out at 3:30 p.m. It was quite a sight to see this large ship pushed out by the small tugboats. We followed right behind. We left the stately skyscrapers of New York behind, passed the United Nationsbuild- ing on the left with the Statue of Liberty on the right. The sea was quite calm. We arrived at Bermuda early Satur- day morning. We had purchas- ed a three hour tour of the island. The sun started to come out as we boarded the tender and it was a beautiful sight as we steamed into Grassy Bay. The weather was warm, the water sky blue and clear as a bell. We docked at Hamilton about 10:30 p.m. The first sight one sees is the palms along the street and the tropi- cal -like vegetation. This is a busy little island and wholly dependent on the tourist busi- ness. Our taxi was waiting for us and in about ten minutes we were on our way. Oleander hedges along the road were covered with double and single blooms the size of large morn- ing glories, either a bright red or orange color. Traffic is on the left hand side. The paved roads are narrow. Small automobiles of certain horsepower are now al- lowed on the island. Before the war, nothing but bicycles were allowed. A small street- car ran through the middle of the town. Our first stop was a perfume factory. They showed us how the perfume of the real flower is picked up in fat or tallow of some kind. Then the tallow was washed off with alcohol. The alcohol is then allowed to evaporate until it is the right consistency. We drove up and down hills, passed white piah and blue stucco homes, beautifully kept gardens and green lawns. All building is done here with blocks cut out of the coral quarries. Roofs are made of coral slabs and whitewashed. Since there are no decent wells, the water used is rain water caught on the roofs. The lime on the roof helps purify the water. Great pans of coral are built on the sides of hills, white• washed, and used as reservoirs, We visited a museum of all the old relics of the island, which is 25 miles at its longest part and four miles wide at its widest. The next stop was Devil's Hole, a salt water pond full of salt water fish. There were two or three sharks about ten feet long and a couple of great big turtles. There is small bridge across this pond and people fish with a line with a big chunk of fish on the end. The fish all go for it, partly swallow and when pulled out of the water spit it out again, but its fun. Population of Bermuda is about 84, 000 two-thirds of which are colored. Our driver was an English- man who had been on the island. for several years. Hamilton is built on the side of a hill. Everything is rather expensive because of being inn'- ported. We only saw one dairy herd, about 20 cows. No stabl- ing is necessary, of course, As we watched the tender pull away from the Sylt mita we noticed someone at the back fishing with a line and all of a sudden he gave the linea pull and came up with a 10 lb. sea bass, l wouldn't mind spending a couple of weeks on this island early in April. Our guide told us that is really the nicest time of the year. Pete DDX 390 Wingham, R. R. 5 March 6th, 1963. Dear Mr. Wenger, This is just to say "thank you kindly" for your editorial in the February 28 issue of The Ad- vance -Times. Of course, you deserve much more than thanks for the effort, expense, time and ability that it must have taken to bring such first-hand, clear cut information to your readers, at a time when this important issue has led to such confused thinking, and when there seemed to be so little dependable direction, even from sources where, ordinarily, one would have a right to look for it. May I add this? A short time after I had first read your editorial, I was reading in St. Matthew's Gospel, chapter 28, where the greatest event in world history is recorded, and when I came to verses 6 and 7, the thought came to mind — "that was just what you had done, Come, See, Go, Tell —" carried out that command in a situation of today where so many people needed the help you have given, by so doing. I have sent several copies to friends elsewhere, who, I know, will be just as grateful as I am. Sincerely, Elizabeth Anderson, (Mrs. O.G. Anderson).
