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 Several charities and religious or- ganizations benefit through the gen- erosity enerosity of the late Mary Porteous, Mitchell;, Ontario, whose death oc- curred on July 28th last. Mrs. Por- teous was the widow of William Por- teous and, or-teous'and, at the time of her death, was 92 years of age. The General Hospital at Stratford receives $1,000, the Queen Mary. Hospital for Consumptives, Weston, $500, the Muskoka Hospital for Con- sumptives, Gravenhurst, $500, the continuing Presbyterian,Church, Mit- chell, $2,000, together -with $250. for missionary purposes and a like amount for the Women's Missionary Society,. ,and the Salvation Army $300. The estate is valued at $90,251 made up of real estate $9,250, mort- gages $23,349, bonds $55,809, bank deposits and other assets $1,843. Substantial sums are bequeathed to two sisters, Miss Sarah Anderson, Mitchell, and Mrs. Janet Torgerson, Grand Forks, N.D., and there are be. quests of varying amounts to twenty - eine nephews and nieces who also are the residuary legatees, Roy H. Munro, Mitchell, is solicitor for the estate, and The Canada Trust Company is named sole executor and trustee: „ .111.1WINA11.wr.r.w NOSE FRACTURED W11FN 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 at the side. Dr. W. B. Pridham at- tended him, and •he was taken to Stratford .Hospital for an X-ray re- turning home on Tuesday.• --Mitchell Advocate. 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 Sound and Meaford. On their return they will reside at Summerhill, The best wishes of the community go with them.—Huron Expositor. 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 - Star. 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- ips up from the ground floor. Every turnip is trimmed, washed, waxed and stamped and must 'pass a gov- ernment inspector before being ship- ped to the American market where there is a good demand and where they are known as "Rutabagas." A TRAVELLING SM'ITRY If the Mountain won't come to- Mohammed, oMohammed, then Mohammed will go to the Mountain. That was 'the theory of the great Mohamedan philosopher who established the Koran and the belief that is accepted in the East. At least one St, Marys. man believes 1V1ohammed was right and so he is going to test the wise mar's theory when with . a well stocked truck he sallies forth, not as the village blacksmith under the spreading chestnut tree, .but as the community Smithy 'aboard a dust - disturbing charabanc.

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, being {ot1 a iconseientious 'nature; made it a point to visit all the schoolrooms frequently. In each room he would make a little talk in an effort to interest the children in the, everyday things of life. On one such occasion he was tell- ing them of the blacksmith, "And what kind ' of arm has the black- smith." lack-smith" he asked. 'Biel shouted the children. "And why is the blacksmith's arm bigger than mine?" "He works!" came the chorused reply, PICOBAC OBA C Pt PE ' TOBACCO_ _ FOR A Ml Lb; COOL SMOKE WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING ALL HALLOW'S EVE AND UNSAINTLY CJIL elIitA'1IONS Hallowe'en ,approaches but 'among the beings with whom it is certain to be entirely unconnected will be the saints for whom it was originally instituted.

Morley of ' Grey in Division Court last week. The case concerned an account owing to al garage, and included in the claim was a bill for 7 per cent. interest.' Judge Morley declared that such, printed notices do not comply with! the statutes—interest' charges must be stated in writing — and, though this was not a major issue, yet no -1 thing was allowed the plaintiff for' interest . , . Practically every state- ment carries the words, "—per cent interest will be charged on overdue accounts," yet, 'according to Judge Morley, this is not a legal claim and no merchant or businessman could 1 collect interest an overdue accounts on the strength of it being, so stated on their statements.—Hanover Post.

Good in blaok.and-white, it glows Witte, life in color. UVNDOTTBTEDLY most Snapshot Guild members have longed to owna miniature camera. There's fascination in these beautiful little instruments, with their fast lenses, quick shutters, easy focusing, eon- venient size and instant readiness for action. They are - cameras one can keep at hand all the time, ready for a picture, chance the moment it appears., But, in comparison to inexpensive box and folding cameras, prices of the de luxe miniatures have been a bit too steep for many of us. True value for every penny ---but too many pennies. So, think, most of us will welcome the arrival of the true miniatures in. the moderate price range which have recently been an- nounced The other day, I saw a beautifully made miniature, with a sharp-eut 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.
