In suchr lant's steam air and hot p _ gases ilow intermittently thropgh an 'intricate system of piping and tanks. ;hese gases must follow each other at predetermined intervals,and, any error in tinting or route of flow ,would slow up production not only, through; loss of materials but pos.' sible;damage to equipment. The processing might be com- pared to om-pared=to the job: of scheduling, dis- patching and regulating trains on a congested railroad 'system. One smallerror can tie up railroad 'traf- fic for hours, possibly resulting in collisions which would damage both trains and goods in transit. The "robot" control performs the same functions in some parts of gasoline, butadiene andtoluene plants as dispatchers and switchmen do in a railroad system. In many of these plants, even if the required numbers .of skilled operators were available, it would be humanly im- possible for them to open and close the numerous valves with the pre- cise timing provided by the "robot" control, consisting of automatic cycle -timers and valve control. Spinach' Regains Its Lost Favor as Food Nutrient Spinach has had a rather varied career. At one time everyone was urged to eat it because of its high calcium content, but when it was learned that the calcium was not all available for the body's needs, it fell into disfavor. .However, when vitamin requirements and the amounts in different foods were real- ized, it was rapidly returned to favor. Weight for weight freshly harvest- ed raw spinach may contain two times as much ascorbic acid as or- ange juice and ten times as Much vitamin A as milk. If by some chance cooked spinach is taboo in your household, now is certainly the time to introduce the tender green leaves into different salad combi- 'nations. While if the cooked spinach is a favorite, your family will prob- ably appreciate getting it in a new form and continue to enjoy the deli- cate flavor. Spinach may be combined with pieces of tomato and radish slices or with shredded carrots and French dressing to make colorful appetizing dishes. In fact many of the greens both cultivated and wild, are addi- tions to salads provided their flavor enjoyed by those you are serving'.i imilar combinations can be used in Sandwiches. Four Factors in Storage For the successful storage of fresh vegetables, four important factors must be taken into consideration: temperature, moisture, ventilation, and light. Those which are similar in structure, and growth require sim- ilar storage conditions. No one stor- age place can be used successfully to store all vegetables. Another thing that is very important is to pit into storage only, high quality produce—vegetables that are free from insect damage, disease, bruises, cracks, blemishes, cuts, sunburn, frost, or mechanical in- jury. Care must be used in har-, Vesting to avoid bruising. Sanita- tion, of; the storage room or house is good storage insurance. Thorough- ly .clean andventilate the place before putting any products in for the winter. The inside of the star: lege structure arid all boxes or crates should be disinfected with a solution made by adding, onepint of formal- de}iyle to six gallons of water, or one pound of copper sulphate to ten gallons of water. Guard Against -Gall Aphis Eecause, serious damage from spruce gall aphis may start, at any time, Dr. Harlow - B. Mills, ento- mologist for the' Montana Agricul- tural;Experiment station, urges daily inspection of the trees and ptginpt spraying the moment .new growth starts to curl or shows the beginning of an infestation. Spruce gall aphis are so tiny they ' are hard to see, Dr. Mills explains. However, at this, time the female, hidden under cottony masses on the underside of last year's growth, has laid ego which will hatch soon. Lit- tle nymphs - will migrate to new growth and cause the characteristic unsightly gall. The gall resernbles a spruce cone with needles extending all around it. It is green or purplish at first, turns brown later and eventually kills the tip: Ear Sensitive Believe it or not, the ear is so sen- sitive that it can detect the changes of, less than one part in a million, according to Dr. Harold K. Schilling, associate professor of physics at the Pennsylvania State college. The or- dinary air pressure against the ear is equal to the weight of a million mosquitoes per square centimeter (about one-sixth ofa square inch). A change in pressure caused by adding only one -thousandth of a mosquito to the pile could be detect- ed by the ear, Dr. Schilling said. If only two or three molecules of air move against the ear, and dis- place the drum -a distance of only one of the molecules, the ear would notice it, the physicist stated South America Develope Thriving Shoe Industry With• plenty of raw material from' domestic production of hides and skins, the, shoe industry in South America and Mexico was well de- veloped before the war. Since the war, demand for shoes has in- crewel ncreased and with it the incentive for further development of this impor- tant consumer goods industry., Climate and custom have, dictated the lines of development of the in- dustry in the other Americas. Tra- ditional styles, such as the huarache and the alpargata, are worn in many areas instead of shoes. New shoe industries have received the encouragement of the various governments, particularly through protective tariffs. In most countries in the other Americas, a large percentage of shoes and sandals are still made by hand in homes, or in small shops. Many larger cities have stores spe- cializing in , made-to-order shoes, also largely made by hand. In fact, in many places, the best shoes are made by custom shoemakers, in- stead -of on a mass production basis as in the United States. Brazil is the largest manufacturer of shoes in the other Americas, with estimated production of more than 20,000,000 pails in 1931. The indus- try has expanded rapidly in recent years. Imports have declined and there has been a growing export trade. Uganda, Main Source of Nile, Model Protectorate Uganda, British east African pro- tectorate which is celebrating its golden jubilee this year, is the Af- rican counterpart of Minnesota—a land of lakes and the source of the continent's largest river, As the main origin of the Nile riv- er, Uganda contributes heavily to Egypt's fertility. It had a finger in the making of history centuries be- fore its own recorded history began in 1862. In the last 50 years it has become Britain's "model protecto- rate." The Baganda, most numerous na- tive race, take easily to the disci- pline of organized society. Before the British came they had been ruled by a strong native dynasty whose kings were called "Kabakas." Tribal government functioned smoothly. British officials seldom needed to interfere. This under - structure of African discipline is still the foundation of British authority. England honors the Kabaka by call- ing him "his highness." • The Baganda speak Bantu. Some have learned English and are typ- ists and clerks in British concerns. Others are tradesmen. Most of them, however, farm for a living, and many own their own farms, Canning Effect on Taste It is evident that the effect of can- ning on the palatability of fruits and vegetables varies widely with the particular method used. In gen- eral, the drastic treatment of pres- sure cooker canningnecessary for vegetables, gives the most pro- nounced effect because of the high temperatures. However, some of the methods which require long-time processing are also sometimes disas- trous to color and flavor, This is es- pecially true of oven methods for flints of delicate color and flavor. The rate of heat penetration is slow in oven canning, and hence •a long time is required for the produce to be heated through. In the meantime color and flavor are appreciably al- tered. In determining the difference be- tween home -canned andcommer- cially canned foods, the time factor is important. Commercial canners heat the product rapidly to, the re- quired 'temperature equired•temperature and as soon as processing is completed,cool it rap- idly. Rail Widths Ancient Roman chariots were built with a clearance of about 4 feet 8', inches between the wheels. The same width between the wheels was continued in early European coaches and carts and in the English tram- ways operated- by horse power. Many early English locomotives werebuilt on this gauge and a num- ber of the pioneer railroads in this country were built to meet the speci- fications of English locomotives. In 1871 no fewer than 19 different gauges, ranging fromthreeto six feet, existed on the railroads in the United States, but by the beginning oU 1939, 99.4 per cent of railroad mileage was constructed in standard gauge lines. The standard gauge of railways in the United States is measured from the inside of one rail to the inside of the opposite rail, about five- eighths of an inch below the top of the rail head. Olives Yield' 011 Fruits of the olive species vary in color and differ somewhat in shape, but most of them are egg-shaped or oval. The liquid which is expressed from the fleshy part of the fruit con- tains from 20 to 60 per cent of oil. When treated commercially the pulp is pressed twice, thus yielding first and second grades of oil. The re- maining pulp -is then mixed with hot water and subjected to-further:pres- sure which brings out a substance that is made into technical oils. In addition to value as a food 'sub stance, olive, oil is used in preserv- ing sardines, and in manufacturing soaps of high grade. R Reduction in Moisture r Prepares Groes for Silage Farmers in recent years have Prinked' that; grass silage keeps satisfactorily and makes excellent feed for all types of livestock, . but most of the silage has been made by using molasses or phosphoric acid as, -a, preservative. Ohio; State university-. agrononsistst say grass silage, will keep well without pre- servatives, if the silo really is air- tight and if the forage contains be- tween 60 and 70 per cent of moisture when placed in the silo. Standing grass or legumes contain More Moisture than 70 per cent so they should be allowed to wilt after cutting if the material is to be made into silage without using a preserva- tive, Usually the moisture content must be brought down from the origi- nal -content about 78 per cent to a safe 68 per cent. The removal also makes the grass at least 10 per cent lighter to handle. Silage is preserved by the forma- tion of acids that are derived from the fermentation of sugars in the plants. Removing part of the water from a plant does not increase the total amount of sugar present but it does ,increase the proportion of sugar to total weight after part of the water has been evaporated. Leakage from the bottom or sides of a silo is likely to occur if silage contains more than 70 per cent of moisture, and the liquid which is lost contains an important amount of nutrients.. Forage which is prop- erly wilted will not lose liquids by leakage. Rabbits Can Be Controlled If They Damage Crops Rabbits may sometimes invade home gardens and cause serious damage, as they return day after day to feed on the carefully tended crops, If weeds, grass, and brush are near the garden, these animals are likely to cause some damage. A good wire fence around the gar- den will keep these animals out, but it is expensive. Furthermore the *hire for such a fence is not avail- able to a gardener at present. In the country, or in suburban dis- tricts where shooting is safe, a gun may easily be used to control rab- bits if the law allows this where rab- bits are damaging crops. Rabbits are most active from twilight until early morning. Repellents are not often effective, since strong chemicals of this sort damage the plants. Nicotine sulfate may reduce rabbit injury, but it must be sprayed on the plants every few days, and after every rain. Simple box traps, baited with ap- ple or, carrot, are probably the best means for rabbit control. Several of these placed in the garden near the borders where 'the animals en- ter, will enable the gardener to put a stop to their damage, Rogue Raspberry Mosaic When symptoms of red raspberry mosaic are moat easily detected ag- riculturists advise growers to take advantage of it and start roguing all diseased plants immediately. Although this virus disease is most serious, on black raspberries, it can also be very destructive to red and purple varieties. The best control measure is the removal of all plants showing the symptoms. You can identify red raspberry mosaic by large irregular green blis- ters or swellings on the leaves, surrounded by yellowish green tis - sae. Diseased plants are stunted and the leaves have a dark green and yellow speckled appearance. New growth is shorter than that of healthy plants, and fruits of dis- eased plants are usually dry, seedy and tasteless. When roguing, remove and de- stroy not only the young shoots show- ing the symptoms, but also the en- tire mother plant from which the shoots grow. Fortunes Told on Ox -Bones The Bronze age Chinese predict- ed future events or tried to learn the outcome of their plans by con- sulting their ancestors. To do so they inscribed a question on the shoulder bone of an ox or on a piece of tortoise -shell. Then they applied heat to the other side of the bone. This produced a crack upon the face. The direction in which the crack ran was believed to indicate a positive or negative answer to the query. It is due to this practice of divination, known as scapuliman- cy, that we know as much as we do about the Shang people at An- yang, because great piles of used oracle bones have been discovered and translated. Thus we know what the Shang people worried about, and what, was foremost in their minds. The Black Pottery people also practiced scapulimancy in . a primitive form. Counsel Women in Plants The field of personnel administra- tion in industry was virtually closed to women prior to the war, but today production heads find it necessary to adjust policy and practice when em- ployees in slacks replace workers in overalls. The women's counselor, between the actual job supervisor and the executive personnel officer, is charged with the duty of fostering good employer-employee relation ships. Successful accomplishment of the counselor's functions will lessen the'resentment of foremen and male employees against women as co- workers and: will aid the woman in adjusting herself to factory lifts. S Have New `Speedometer' For U. S. Fighting Ships Science has streamlined the vital job of ,"keeping'. the ship's log" of speed and, distance on America's battle wagons. An "underwater log," a precision instrument •installed in the hulls of Uncle Sam's fighting ships, has been perfected by the Brooklyn marine division of Bendix Aviation corpora- tion, pioneers in thedevelopment and mass production of such typical- ly "automatic; age" devices for sea, land and air transport and commu- nications industries. "The underwater log" system, de- veloped by the corporation's engi- neers, in co-operation with the navy, is more than a seagoing version of a speedometer. In addition to indicat- ing rate of ship's speed in knots per hour, this salt water robot totalizes in nautical miles the distance trav- eled by a ship from a given bearing, aids in the measuring of the draft and trim of a ship, and gives other speed and distance indications im- portant for navigation and gunfire control. The "underwater log" automati- cally transmits its speed and distance information by remote control to the navigation officers on the ship's bridge, to the fire control and gun- nery officers in all parts of the ship and to the engine room. Its accu- racy in constant operation as a faith- ful underwater watchdog is now legend among the officers and men of the U. S. fleet. In convoys the underwater log has been especially valuable in obtain- ing more accurate information than previously possible concerning the comparative speeds and daily dis- tances traveled by merchant ships and escorting vessels. Here's Don -Jan -Yu, Tasty Steamed Flounder in Eggs Chinese cooks do some interesting things with eggs that should be of interest to ration -harassed American housewives. Egg dishes supply need- ed protein, and—if cooked in the Chinese manner—they will turn any entree into a hearty and tasty main dish, Here is the recipe for Don -Jan -Yu, or Steamed Flounder with Eggs: Cut in 'h inch slivers 2 pounds filet of Rounder; blend 1 tablespoon oil or melted fat, 1 tablespoon corn- starch; 1 teaspoon soy sauce; finely dice and add 1 tablespoon scallions and 1 tablespoon green pepper; then blend together and add 4 eggs, 1 cup water or chicken bouillon and 2 tea- spoons salt and a clash of pepper. Pour Over fish. In deep frying pan or kettle with tightly fitting cover, place water rh inch deep. On a trivet' or rack deep enough to hold fish above water, place dish containing fish mixture. Cover and steam for about one hour. Serve with hot boiled rice. 'I Sun Helps Swedish Industry Almost a fifth of Sweden is above the Arctic Circle. Climate is tem- pered by the warm Atlantic currents twisting into the Skagerrak. The po- lar ice• cap slipped off the southern tip . of the peninsula thousands of years ago, left hundreds of foot-; prints as lakes, seamed the land with rivers. Mountains rise rug- gedly in the north. Winter blankets the land with cold and darkness. Summer comes with a rush. Biggest "sight" is the midnight sun viewed from one of the northern peaks. The sun is a worker as well as a wonder. It thaws the northern snows, melts glacial ice, creates streams that provide the "white coal" for industrial power develop- ments, Before the war about two- thirds of the country's 10,000 miles of railway had been electrified. Elec- tricity is taming the wilderness, lug- ging ore from the iron -packed hills in the north, taking the drudgery out of farm and household chores. Poison -Baits Kill Slugs Special poison baits containing metaldehyde are the best means of control for slugs, which cause un- usual damage to vegetable plants. The unusual damage from slugs is due to abnormally cool, rainy weather, favorable to the pests. Slugs have soft unprotected bodies, very sensitive to loss of moisture and in warm, dry weather are forced to spend most of the time under ground where they cause little dam- age. Slugs are snails without shells. The most common kinds are about one-half to one inch long, dark col- ored, and soft and slippery to the touch. They feed at night and on cloudy, rainy days and leave a shiny film of mucous secretion of "slime" wherever . they go. They attack young tender plants of all kinds, eating ragged holes in the leaves, and often cutting off the stems of small plants much as cutworms do. Bread of China Rice is the "bread" of China. It is usually eaten where grown, plays second fiddle to other grains in for- eign trade. Variety is the spice of rice. Important kinds cultivated are common rice, swamp rice, upland rice and glutinous rice, besides sev- eral hundred other sorts. Unmilled or rough rice, growing or cut, is known as "paddy.", Growth requires moisture, and also a climate a bit warmer than other grains must have, Swampy ground, or a field that can be flooded, is. best. Cen- tral valleys of the Yangtze and its • feeders provide the conditions need- ed for, "wet farming." "' Cities Given Right to Build Post -War Funds Wide interest of the nation's mu- nicipalities in preparing now for tillegae-postwar era; is reflected by 1943 legislation giving cities and towns l authority to build up cash re- serve, funds for public > works con- struction after the war, Seven state legislaturesave their local g governments such authority this year, raising to 16 the number of: states where local governmental, units, have been given legal authority by the state to lay money aside for the future, the American Municipal association reports. States taking action this year were Arizona, Connecticut,. North Caro- lina, North. Dakota, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. The nine states enacting the legislation previous to 1943 were Oregon, Cali- fornia, Nebraska, New York, Michi- gan, Washington, Kentucky, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Three of the latter states—Michi- gan, New Jersey and Oregon— broadened their previously enacted statutes this year. Oregon, the as- sociation pointed out, was the first state to authorize municipalities to build up reserve funds, taking the action in 1931. Reason for the move at the time, a reason which the as- sociation says holds good today, was to help cities out of situations where they would be paying off long-term loans long after the projects for which the money was borrowed had worn out. Saudi Arabia Fills Allied Gap in Mohammedan World Saudi Arabia, latest addition to the long list of nations receiving Lend -Lease aid from the United States, fills the final gap in the Unit- ed Nations front in the Arab world. The large and strategically situat- ed desert kingdom occupies the lion's share of the Arabian penin- sula. Saudi Arabia has long coastlines on the Red sea and the Persian gulf —both important Allied supply ar- teries. Across the Persian gulf to the east is Iran, whose "corridor" is keeping Russia supplied with American war goods. Two holy cities of Mohammedan- ism, Mecca and Medina, are in the Hejaz portion of Saudi Arabia. De- vout Moslems try to make the pil- grimage to Mecca at least once 'a lifetime. Every year thousands of these tourist -pilgrims make the trip. They provide the Hejaz with its greatest income, Mecca and Jidda, its seaport 45 miles west on the Red sea, almost live on this trade. Recently, oil has been struck by American engineers at several places in the kingdom. A pipe line connects one field with Ras Tanura, new Persian gulf port. Concessions and. royalties for the "black gold" are greatly increasing Arabia's rev- enue. Pearl fishing on the east Coast is also profitable. Caning Affects Nutrients The effect of nutritive value varies from one canning method to another. To a large extent, the factors that affect palatability also affect nutri- tive value, so the product which looks and tastes the best is many times also best nutritionally. Time and temperature are important in deter- mining vitamin content. In general, the higher the temperature required for processing and the longer the time it must be applied, the greater the destruction of vitamins. As in freezing, the chief nutrients to be affected in canning are vita- mins A and C. Both are rather easily destroyed by oxidation. Hence if food containing . them is heated in the presence of air, much larger amounts are destroyed than if air is excluded during processing. On this basis, open -kettle canning is more destructive to vitamin C espe- cially, than water -bath canning. Foods which are pureed when hot are apt to lose considerable amounts of vitamin C. On the contrary, foods which are processed in closed con- tainers, as the waterbath and pres- sure cooker, are protected to some extent from such losses. Reinforce Sweaters Sweaters should be examined oc- casionally for thin places, particu- larly the elbows and the underarm. sections, and reinforced before they wear through or before the thread breaks. Weak places in the thread where stitches may drop should like- wise be noted and caught with matching sewing thread. One dropped stitch can be replaced with a chain stitch without being notice- able, if fastened inconspicuously on the wrong side. Ladder runs, sim- ilar to those in hose, can be re- paired with a crochet hook. Latch needles, however, which are used for stockings, are too fine for sweat- er yarns. Train Tomato Plants One of the best ways to manage tornato plants when planting space is limited is to prune them to a single stem and train them upright in the way they should go. Many. gardeners with ample space prefer this method. Tomato plants grown in this way give a larger yield of early fruit and, if properly spaced, about the same yield for a given amount of ground although there will be less fruit per plant. The method insures clean fruits of possibly a little better shape and color although it may in- crease the danger of sunscald and blossom end rot. as Now`. Camouflage Reflects Infra -Red Rays of Sun New camouflage finish -reflects the infra -red rays that, along with ultra- violet, represent the unseen three- fifths of sunlight:. It shows up light instead of dark in aerial infra -red photographs. In contrast, ordinary green paints appear darin aerial photogrenemy,aphs, revealing details to the Detection of camouflage depends fl p ds chiefly on visual observation and lens work aloft. The military value of infra -red photography is based on the fact that common objects reflect visible light and infra -red rays in. a quite different manner. Most green vegetation, for exam- ple, reflects infra -red light. A mili- tarytarget blended into the land- scape by the artful use of orthodox green paint would not escape detec- tion by the infra -red aerial camera, because the painted surfaces would stand out in. marked contrast to the foliage, black against white in the photograph. Now, however, the camoufleur is one jump ahead of the recently de- veloped infra -red technique. He may use green paints that not only visibly match surrounding natural greens, but also equal their infra -red reflect- ance powers and accordingly match in the infra -red photograph as well. Other colors—olive apd field drab, loam black, earth red, brown and yellow—are also possible in the range of paints that are more than they appear to be to the—human eye. Toy Maker's Son Built Big Optical Industry in Jena A peacetime center of a world- wide trade in all sorts of optical in- struments, Jena has provided the Nazi war machine with periscopes, bombsights, telescopes, field glasses, medical glasses, photographiclenses, thermometers and 'electrical Iamps. Chemicals and machinery also are made there. The city is situated almost in the geographic center of Germany, about 500 air miles from London. The optical industry began nearly a hundred vicars ago, when an ex- pert mechanic and inventor, Carl Zeiss, son of a toy maker, opened a workshop for making magnifying glasses, microscopes and ether in- struments. Later prominent scien- tists took a hand in the operations, and with the establishment of work- ing laboratories, the local industry developed into a big business of thousands of workers and subsidi- aries and associates in many lands. . The first planetarium of its kind, showing heavenly bodies in motion and other astronomical dramatiza- tions, was built by the corporation at Jena. Jena is also well known as a uni- versity town of the old German tra- dition, with all of the student color of undergraduate pranks, enthusias- tic beer drinking, and dueling scan - dela. Wild and Scenic Land' St. Lucia—whose name is pro- nouneed Saint Looshia, with the ac- cent on the first syllable—lies within the southern half of the giant arc of islands spaced between the eastern Caribbean and the Atlantic. It is a wild and scenic land, with an area of about 240 square miles, or less than a quarter of that of Rhode island. Itsinhabitants, largely Negroes and mulattoes, totaled about 71,000 in. 1940. The island is chiefly valuable for farm output, which provides some exports for populous near -by islands. In recent years special efforts have been made by the colonial adminis- tration to build up the old planta- tion business of sugar production, andto improve the output of such commodities as cacao, coconuts, spices, bananas, and other fruits. St. Lucia is one of the world's lead- ing sources of limes, important for scurvy -fighting vitamin C, Chinese Civilization Contrary to popular belief, Chinese civilization is not so extremely an- cient, It was decidedly later in starting than the civilizations which • ,developed in the Nile valley, in Mesopotamia, and in India, Arche. ologists can employ with confidence the date 2900-3000s B. C. for both Mesopotamia and Egypt, but the ear- liest date that can be mentioned with an equal degree of confidence for China is "about" 1400 B. C, -and this may be incorrect by a century. According to historical tradition it was about then that a ruler of the Shang dynasty moved his capital to a place now known as Anyang, in the province of Bonen. Archeology picks up the trail of the historical Chinese at"Anyangwhere some of the palace area, the royal tombs, and dertain archives have been sci- entifically excavated, Any date giv- en for a site that was inhabited earlier is an estimate. Accidents in Home Last year someone was acciden- tally injured in one out of every seven homes in the nation, and 30,- 500 deaths resulted from home ac- cidents. About 16,000 of these deaths were caused by falls, and about 6,000 persons died from burns. More than half of those who died as a result of burns were children foto years of age or younger and adults who were 65 years of age or' older. In addition to these deaths, there were 4,500,000 injuries to persons in homes, 120,000 of which resulted in permanent disability, THIIR;S., FEB. ard, 1944' Election of' Officer's for Revolver 'Clulhl Monday 'evening January 17th the Clinton Revolver Club had its annual meeting for election of Officers and special shoot. The following men were elected Officers for the year, 1944. ',Captain Hunter' of Clinton as Pres.. Joe hart: of Clinton as Treasurer Fit/Lt. Morton of Clinton as Range Officer and Ellwood. Epps of Clinton. as Secretary. After the business was completed a Boodle. Shoot was held. This is handicap shooting match where each, • contestant names his own seore, being penalized one point for each point under the score named and two points.. for every point over the score named, Prizes are donated by the shooters themselves, each member bringing some item that they wish to donate•, for a prize. These are all arrayed on the table and the winners have their choice. • The following are the win, vers in the named order of the night's shoot as well as the scores obtained. Jas.

The highlight of the evening was a bag of apples donated by Joe Hart of Clinton and won by Jim Bacon of Goderich but sorry to say Mr. Bacon was unable to leave with. his prize the members all confiscated one or two nice apples to the chagrin of ,the . winner, New rules for the club were drawn up and a program of events planned for the coming year. Membership of the club now totals 15 and anyone Wishing or interested in revolver shooting can get in touch with any of the above members and will receive full information. The Revolver Club meets every Monday evening at their range, V To Commemorate Lizars Family STRATFORD, Jan. 21,—R. T. Orr appeared before Perth County Conn-. ell as its session at the Count house here Wednesday morning on behalf of the proposed presentation to the County of a statue of a son of the • late Judge Daniel Home Lizars, one of the first judges of Perth County, Warden Theodore Parker presided, and all members were present at the session. Mr. Orr traced the history of the Lizars family, stating that Daniel Lizars and his faintly arrived at Goderich in the summer of 1833 after being shipwrecked on a sandbar at the mouth of the river. Mr. Orr pointed out:that unlike most immi, grants to this enmity Mr. Lizars had.. sufficient money to purchase a tract of land in Huron county. He be,. came leader of the opposition to the Canada . Company and was elected,, chief manager of the opposition in 1835, the first election in the Huron tract, It was Daniel Lizars' son who was appointed judge of Perth County in. 1854. The statute, Mr. Orr pointed out, is of the judge's son, adding that he felt great interest centered on the daughters of the judge, for they were responsible for the publication of• "Days of the Canada Company, 1$25, 1850." Mr. Orr added that, although there was nothing for which to 're,. member the son of the judge, such a statue would be tribute to the whole. Lizars family, Who had contributed immeasurably to the growth of both Perth and. Huron counties. Ex -Mayor Thos.' E. Henry also spoke on ,the placement of the statue in the 'county building. Mr. Henry was shown the statue in Goderich by Bruce Smith, in whose possession it now is. Mr. Henry reported that the statue would be worth between $1,000 and $2,000. About three feet high, it was made by an Italian sculptor. O.n notion of Reeve Corry - and Kay, the matter was referred to the committee of the whole.--Gode-.. rich Signal Star. v Goderich, Sells Old Rings• Edward Hotel The Town Council at its meeting 00 Friday ,night last made a ,:deal with Murhey Howe, of the.
