Eippen Creek Had Its Day
As An Important
Source of holder
By W. H. Johnston
Water power has often been the
source around which towns have
grown ' or manufacturing establish-
ments been brought into being. From
the Village of Exeter to the Town of
Minton there is a stretch of 18 miles
;of • the -finest of farming land and
in the centre of this fertile area is
•to' be found the compact antcl thrifty
'Hamlet of Kippen past which flows
the small stream known as Kippen
Creek.
Today the flow of water in it is
not large except in the spring, but
in' pioneer days, before the woods
were cleared off, there was a large
;and almost constant sepply of water
the year round with enough fall to
'give plenty of power'.
The Canada Company officials, re-
•coganizing the value of this, were not
slow in establishing a flour mill, pos-
sibly as .early as 1840. The building
;of the dam was 'hot well done and the
spring floods gave great trouble in
washing out parts of it. It was then
,that Robert Bell,' who' had conic in
1836 and had located south of Hnn-
call, was induced to take over the
mill and :try to make a. success of it.
He rebuilt the dant so well that it
stood for over 60 years, needing in
that time only minor repairs. This
gristmill, long known as Bell's Mill,
.served an area at least 20 miles to
the south, 10 miles to the north and
"Tor untold distances east ane! west,
To the gristmill a sawmill'was ad-
ded soon after and a James Anderson
built another sawmill about half a
farther on on along the same,ereek.
All three were prosperous, and a, vil-
lage sprang up at the corners be-
tween the two points.
Robert Mellis opened- a blacksmith
slop .and later starter] a general
•store. A school 'had been opened at
.:an early elate.
A 'wagon -making and carriage -
:building shop was ;opened early by
'William} Edgar and, later was .con-
•tinned, successively by W. C.• Kyle,
',11:'.,McIntosh and M; Richer, until
:diosec1 in the' early part••' `of this;

_Henry :Shaffer, hotelkeeper for
more than a generation, opened al
general store across the street from ,
the Mellis shop. He was succeeded t
by D. Weismiller , J. Canning, D,
Hay,' R. Brownlee and W. E. Butt,
the present postmaster and proprietor,
The first settlers in the community t
included Robert. Bell, Robert Doig,
William Cooper, James and John Mc-
Lean, James Anderson 'and William
Blair.
'01 course, those early settlers who
came in the late thirties or early'
forties have long sines passed to their 0
reward, but in some cases their de- s
scendants of the third and fourth gen-
erations occupy the farms where those
older people toiled so bravely. !
It was not until November 1, 1855,
that 'a post office was opened with
Robert Annan as its first postmaster:
The name was suggested by Robert
Bell in honor of. his native Village
of Kippen in Scotland. Bell 'tet the
deputy postmaster -general in Lon -
done who requested him to suggest a
name.' He sugge',:ted Stirling, but
the deputy thought it was too "Scot -
thy" and asked how Mulingar would
do, but Bell said it "was too Irish", t
and then asked if Kippen would do,This met with approval of the big a
man and Kipper it rias beenever
since. • 10

Business 'Prentiees ,Needed
for Recovery
J. B. Fraser, Executive Placement
Consultant Criticizes "Swivel
Chair" Idea
Rapid. and .steady economic 'recov-
ery is being retarded in Canada by
a serious shortage of skilled crafts-
men and workers, according to J. B.
Fraser,- of Toronto; executive- -place-
ment consultant, who • •addressed the
Simeoe Rotary Club on the subject
of "Apprentices in Business."
"For several years," said Mr. Fras-
er, "Canada's chief problem has been
unemployment. But today we are
b
e-
ing suddenly brought face to face
with a problem which is hampering
our return to industrial and commer-
cial progress.- Complex machines
which formerly 'displaced labor are
now being slowed clown because in-
dustry is having difficulty in finding
men with the technical l tr inin
a training and
ability to operate • these 'machines."
Mr. Fraser praised the work being
done by the directors of the Youth
Training Program in Ontario and de-
clared the work was achieving worth
while results.
"Canadian craftsmanship," he de-
clared, "is still suffering from the
popularity of swivel chairs. Too many
young men want to be executives at
' once, and of course they want the
highest salary that executives usually
get. The thousands of young Hien
looking for jobs each year must learn!
1 to respect manual work as well as
white collar jobs, -and train for them."
The speaker maintained that the
efficientof Greati
! y Britain as a world j
power was due largely to the back-
ground of thoroughness it had built
up for centuries through its, appren-
ticeship system.
"Many educators," said Mr. Fraser,
`believe that apprentices should be
rained at the expense of the public,
and that this training should be con-
fined to trade and vocational school -
ng. But it is an established fact
hat no academic training, however
practical, can take the ' place of ex-
perience. The trade or vocational
pchool should be supplementary to
and not •a substitute for actual shop
wort.,"
Mr. Fraser insisted that the price
1 labor turnover, both from the
tandpoint of employer and employee,
makes any effort in the direction of
developing apprentices for business
Worth while. He stated that any
successful plan must have the co-op-
eration of Dominion and provincial
governments; employers, schools, par-
ents, and service clubs.

SILHOUETTE PICTURES
Outdoor silhouettes are easy, with sun behind subject. Indoors, with
artificial light, they are just as simple.
,SILHOUETTES offer many
L7 chances for interesting, decora-
tive pictures—and are easy to take,
indoors or out.
Outdoors, place your subject on
high ground, with the stn .squarely
behind hint, and shoot from a low
camera position. Use a smaller lens
opening thanlusuai, to provide less=
thau-normal exposure and to sub-
due shadow detail.
Indoors, there are two simple
methods, For one, use a large•slee
photo bulb; In 'cardboard reflector.
Place it on the floor a few feet from
one wall, and pointed toward the
wall. This creates a "bright spot:'
Darken the rest of the room, let the
subject stand in shadow between
the camera and bright spot—and
shoot.
Another method permits unusual
silhouettes. Pot this, stretch a
.white sheet smoothly across au
open doorway, leaving no wrinkles.
Place a Strong light — such as a
•photo bulb in reflector — five feet
behind it. In the other room, pose
' yotir'subjeot about tivo feet in front'
of the brightly illuminated sheet—
ancl fire away.
With the sheet, novel effects are
possible. For example, you can show
a person juggling any number of
tennis balls or bottles, with most of
tlrent,in mid-air, Actually, they are
just cut out of 'black paper and
Maned to the sheet—but in the pic-
tare they look grate real.
