KITCHENER MAYOR RAPS
PASTEURIZATION
Kitchener city council will submit a
resolution to the Ontario Department
of Health urging an amendment to
the Public Health Act, which requires
the compulsory pasteurization of
milk and caeam.
On suggestion of Mayor George W.
Gordon, council aproved asking the
department to releasecream from
the' Act, but declined' to endorse a
resolution asking censor of compul-
sory pasteurization of milk. The re-
solution was submitted to council by
the newly -formed Waterloo County
Whale Milk Products and Consum-
ers Association.
"At this rate they are, going they-
're going to put the farmers out of
business, and they are the backbone
of Kitchener and Waterloo," declared
Mayor Gordon. "Pretty seen we'll
have to be brought up in incubators
and glass cages."
"This thing went too far when they
included cream, for it is certainly a
hardship on these people. I don't
think it should have been in there
at all," asserted the mayor.
ROYAL WINTER FAIR
OPENS NOVEMBER 15
This year's Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair which opens at Toronto
on November 15, is to be more ex-
teneive in scope, with greater var-
iety and larger :prizes than in any
former year.
On account of the improvements
made in the classes, judging times,
and accomodation, a larger display.
of live stock is anticipated, and';ent-
ries . from new competitors, notably
in dairy cattle and sheep, have been
received.. Also it is expected that
with herds from Prince Edward Is-
land and British Columbia, all the
nine provinces of Canada will be
represented.•
The new Seed and Grain Shove
promises to assume an importance
commensurate with Canada's inter-
national status in grain growing,
and, as :a result of this year's iin-
proved crops and economic conditions
the entries from the Prairie Prov-
incespromise to create' a record.' The
space devoted to poultry has been
largely increased and practically a
whole floor has been taken for what
will prove to be an outstanding in-
dustrial exhibit by the combined ef-
fects of the poultry industry of
of Agriculture,. and the egg pro-
ducers and manfactures of supplies.
Other new features are the recast-
ing and enlarging of the Flower
Show; the improvement of 'the fruit
display and the speeding up of the
performances at the Horse Show to
which interneetional army officers'
teams are coming from the United
States, Chile, Mexico, and Eire to
compete against teams of Canadian.
officers.
King and Queen to Visit
Canada'
Anouneement has been made that
Ring George VI and Queen Elizabeth
will visit Canada in the early sum-
mer months of next year and spend
three months in this country.
This is news that•wiU please every
Canadian, and their Majesties will be
assured of a loyal and enthusiastic
welcome.. King George as Prince,
has already visited Canada, but this
will be Queen Elizabeth's first visit,
This is the first time that Canada
has been honoured by a visit from the
Reigning Sovereign and the occasion
vriIl be made even more'momentous
by the presence of the Queen,
The announcement made at Bal-
moral, Scotland said: "The King and
Queen have graciously consented to
accept the suggestion of the prime
minister of Canada that they should
visit Canada next year. Their Maj-
esties hope to arrive in the early
summer and spend about three weeks
in the Dominion."
A Swimming Pool for
Clinton?
Anyone attending the Lions Club
meeting on Monday night could not
help catching a little of the enthus-
iasm of the Lions and visitors. "To
do something for others not so f or-
tunate" is the general motto of all
Service Clubs • whether they are
Kiwam's, Rotarian or Lion. There
is unquestionably a crying need for
a swimming pool in Clinton. It
would put out town on the map, so
to speak, Seaforth with its pool,
eppnsoted by the splendid Lions Club
in that town has reason to be proud
of that undertaking. It is rumoured
in Mitchell that one is being plan-
ned there. Situated as it is on the
hub of two major highways, Clinton
can easily be an important centre
in years to come, both from a com-
mercial and tourist standpoint. If
the Clinton Lions Club can be induct-
ed to back a project of this kind,
it is felt that the citizens of the eont-
munity-will be behind them one
hundred percent and if a Swimming
Pool is built it will stand as a last-
ing mark and tribute to those who
like to' "do for others who cannot
always help themselves."
Benefits from Will

ganizations benefit through the gen-

STRUCK BY HORSE
Fred Roney, R,R, 2, Mitchell, sus-
tained a fractured nose and other
nose injuries in a peculiar manner
on Monday. He was in the act of
harnessing a horse to go out in the
fields. The horse, hada sore mouth
and on being touched threw up its
head, striking Mr. Roney in the nose
with enough force to break the bone

MERRlbL-WILSON
A, pretty wedding took place at
Brueefield Manse on Saturday; Oct.
15, when Margaret Evelyn, daught-
er of Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Wilson,
was united in marriage to Mr, Chas.
R. Merrill, of Summerhill, Rev. H.
E. Wright 'performed the ceremony.
The bride was becomingly attired in
a suit of lorenza brown and carried
Token roses. Her sister, Miss Doro-
thy Wilson, was bridesmaid, and
those a suit of black with matching
accessories and carried Better Time
roses. Mr, W. D. Wilson supported
the groom. Immediately after the
ceremony the happy couple left on
a honeymoon trip to Elmvale, Owen

OFF TO CALIFORNIA
If present plans are realized by
two local young men, Goderich this
winter will miss one of the smart-
est youngsters to put on skates in
the hockey arena the last few seas-
ons. The lad is "Bucky" Art Doak,
who today is heading for the sun-
shine State of California with Ab.
Powell. The pair, who have been
inseparable chums for a long time,
are making the trip via the thumb-
ing' route. If things look sufficiently
attractive to the boys in California
they will remain there through the
winter months. Bucky is even taking
his skates along. He is prepared for
any emergency. — Goderieh Signal -

CAR WRECKED BY DEAR
On Monday morning when Mr, M.
Sheffield, of the Shelager Store, was
motoring to Wingham from Shel-
bouree,'a deer ran onto the road and
crashed into his car. Mr. Sheffield
escaped injury but his ear was dam-
aged to the extent of about $250.00.
Most of the damage was done to the
front of the ear. The deer was kill-
ed. The accdent happened between
Shelbourne 'and Orangeville.
BULLET TICKED TRUCIC
DRIVER'S NOSE
Bert Mammill, Elora well-known
taxi and truck man, had a close es-
cape from death or serious injury.
He was driving his truck west along
Church street, when he heard a, gun
discharge, and at the same instant a
bullet entered the cab through the
open window of the driver's side and
crashed into the glass of the window
in the door opposite. In its course
the bullet struck the point of his
nose inflicting' a nasty fresh wountl
which bled profusely. The shock
caused him momentarily to lose one
trol:of the truck which ran into the
ditch. Miss Dora Switzer, Mr. Ham-
mill's housekeeper, wassitting be-
side him in the cab at the time but
escaped injury.
INCREASED CAPACITY FOR
HANDLING . TURNIPS
Mr, S. Winer's establishment for
the waxing of turnips is ' a very
busy spot. The interior of the large
brick building on James St. has been
remodelled and new equipment in-
stalled for handling the turnips in
larger capacity. A waxing room has
been fitted up on thesecond storey
and a conveyer belt Carries the turn-

THE TILINGS YOUR CA
IS MADE OF
When you go to a dealer and buy
a new automobile, you are acquiring
the product of innumerable indust-
ries.
If it is one of the lower 'priced
automobiles of popular make, it con-
tains among its many components.
the following' basic items in apprex-
imately these portions: A. ton and
a third of steel; 33 pounds of copper
and brass; two pounds of tin; 27
pounds of lead; 140 pounds of east
pig iron; 110 pounds of rubber; one-
tenth of a bale of cotton; 13 square,
yards of -upholstery fabric; 37 pound
of paper and fibre board; 18 square
feet of glass.
In addition, you get the use of
lumber, grease, electric power,
chemical and numerous other supply
materials employed in production.
To these physical items must be
added the less tangible but most ex-
pensive items; use of millions of dol-
lars' worth of precision machinery,
many hours ,of labor at an average
of 95 cents an hour, and a share of.
millions of dollars' worth of seien-
tific and ,engineering research.
By the time it is bought, 'some
parts of the purchase price of the
car ' already has found its way to
virtually every section of the count-
ry, and some 92 the far corners of
the world, from which several of the
rare ingredients must be collected,
PLANS AUTOMOBILE
WITHOUT GEARS
Plans for a revolutionary auto-
mobile without gears or elutch have
been presented to the British As-
sociation for the Advancement of
Science.
Prof. Frederick C. Lea, formerly
of Sheffield University, who present-
ed the paper, said the new method of
power transmission also could be
supplied to airplanes, ships and rail-
road trains.
It was understood an English
company has been formed to pro-
mote the invention, credited by Prof.
Lea to Commendatore Piero Salerni,
Italian engineer living in England.
Claims for the gearless car—in
which .a centrifugal pump replaces
the gear box and clutch—are that
it would use less gasoline, increase
tire mileage and quicken accelera-
tion.
Professor Lea said he based his
conclusions on tests of more than
65,000 miles with such an automobile.
Substitution of the pump system
for the orthodox clutch and gear box,
he said, "results in improvement of
performance . in getaway, general
acceleration, hill climbing and drive
on the open road,
"The driver, over long distances in
traffic and climbing hills, is not
wearied by declutching and gear -
changing," he said.
"The mechanical construction of
the transmitter is in every way
simple and sound, As compared with
the orthodox clutch and gear mech-
anism, it is simpler and less costly,
and its overall efficiency is appar-
ently greater.
"Its scope transcends the field of
the automobile and should iuelude.
vehicles of every kind driven by in-
ternal combustion engines, both of
the gasoline and heavy oil type."
WHY A RAILWAY ENGINES
PUFFS
The puff -puff of a locomotive is
familiar to all but few people seem
to know just what causes the noise,
according to operating officials of
the Canadian National Railways. It
is explained that a puff is the noise
made by exhaust steam that is let
out of the smoke -stack after the
steam has pushed the piston along
the length of the cylinder. One puff
comes at the end of theforwara
stroke and another at the end of the
backward stroke, four puffs to every
revolution of the driving wheels.
Pushing the piston back forces out
the steam that pushed the piston for-
ward and as this used steam is still
under some pressure, the operation
of • ejecting it through the smoke-
stack is accompanied by noise. hence
the puff. Engines puff louder when
starting because a great deal of
steam is admitted to the piston to
gain maximum power. As the engine
gathers speed " brute" power is not
needed and less steam . is admitted
per piston stroke. The puff -puff
then becomes a steady purr,
CLASSROOM CANDOR
The president of the School Board,

fascination in these beautiful little

ting f.5.6 lens, for only $17.50—a
camera capable of tatting blaelt-and-
white pictures under adverse light
conditions as well as color film to
obtain gorgeous transparencies for
projection. A similar camera, but
with a faster lens, was priced at
$29, Bath were sturdy, well-built,
and capable of doing excellent work.
These are about bottom prices dor
miniatures eapable of taking good
color pictures.,
Many invariably refer to a minla•-
tore as a "candid" camera, and ap-
parently believe that it automati-
cally gets unusual, unposed snap-
shots. That isn't true -any camera -
can catch unposed, "off -guard"
snaps, under suitable light condi--
tions. But the miniature's small size„
fast lens, and quick action make it
easier to get "offguard" or "candid'''.
shots, And its convenience is an
aid in all kinds of`anapshooting..
The miniature is so easy to handle.
and operate that you want to take*
more pictures. The more pictures
you shoot, the more practice you.:
get—and your pictures Just natu—
rally begin to improve.
One great virtue of a miniature•=
camera' with a good color -corrected:
lens is that you, can nee natural';
color flim as easily as black -and, -
white. The original of the picture ,
above, a full-color transparency,
shows the little girl's cheeks, rosy -
pink, hair sparkling gold against a t
bright blue sky. Quite a difference ,
front black -and -white, and a new;
thrill for the picture -taker. You cans;
get this natural color film for minium•,
ture cameras in 35mm. and No. 828:
sizes. Try some shots with dolor fain.
You will like the results.
