HOW TO REACH MONTREAL'..
Mentally Equipped for a busy day
There is one sure-fire recipe for a
successful Mlontreal trip—start the
day right,
Step into one of the Individual
Sleeping rooms on . the. 10 or 11
o'clock Canadian National ` trains
from Toronto for Montreal. Have a
solid night's sleep—xelnxed, restful.
Wake up in Montreal completely"re-
freshed, ready for a fine day's work.
That's all there is to it. The ap-
pointments of the individual Sleep-
ing roams will give you a train com-
fort you could hardly think possible to
provide. Vibrationless rest—well
worth the small additional cost.

G'ODERICH: The town council
passed a resolution at its last meet-
ing instructing the town solicitor to
take steps to get possession of the
aircraft factory.
N THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS this
.11 man is called a "trouble-shooter',' which
.
may sound. like sport but it isn't for him.
Any hour of the night he may be roused from
sleep. Somewhere the line is down and it is
up to him to fix it. Right away.
Usually the line isdown because there has
been a storm. It isn't much fun to cling to the
top of a pole with a zero gale taking your
.breath away.
INDING- THE BREAK in the lino is not
as bad as it used to be. It used to mean that
men had to trudge along through the storm,.
perhaps for miles, until the bad spot was
found. Today there ` are delicate instruments
which can locate the spot within a few rods
from an office many miles away.
They are 80 accurate that if there is a break in
the 180 miles of line between Toronto and
Sarnia, a tnan''can sit in a building in Toronto
and locate the spot within a pole's length or
so Or a man can sit in a building in Montreal
and find a break anywhere between there and
Quebec.
He can tell the tremble -shooter almost the very
.pole to go to because every pole now is.num-
bered.
UT THE TROUBLE-SHOOTER has to
'do the, actual job and it means more than
losing sleep or braving bad weather. It calls
for very high technical skill.
Big cables are simply lead containers holding
hundreds of tightly packed. wires, each fine as
a hair. When the cable is burnt out for a
stretch, or, is opened, there—is a fine looking
mess. It looks like the stuffing of a hair m2,t
Ztress.
Eac1i of these hundreds of fine wires has to be
connected again to its mate in the other half
of the cable. If you can imagine yonself finger-
ing those wires at two o'clock of a stormy
Wintry morning you will realize how good the;
trouble-shooter has to be at his job: -
0TORMS COST MONEY' as well as dis-
- comfort. The telephone system has over
675,000 miles of wire strung on poles stretch-
ing across. 23,000 miles of country and every
storm hits some part• of the system. A big
storm can do a great deal of damage.
Sleet lids cost the telephone company as much
as a .million dollars in one year. Sometimes
one storm•means spending more than $100,000
without delay.
There is no time to call the directors together.
The job has to be done and the money must
be spent:
Tlie money -is ready because the telephone
company - has followed a : policy of making
;definite provision. for such emergencies.
'And die e job is done because..tlre telephone
business has men and women, like the -trouble-
shooter, alive to the meaning of
service and eager to keep the
telephone in the front rank of
Canadian progress.
