"Chatting with the Listener"
Further development anal expansion
of +the OBC so that the artistic re-
sources and aspirations of the Mari-
time and Prairie !Provinces ,may tb8
worthily: reflected: when the Corpora-
tion's new IE13i3IQ1I watt transmitting
stations for those regions are com-
pleted, was revealed by Gladstone
Murray, CBC !Generali Manager, 'dur-
ing an address 'broadcast over the na-
tional network from Halifax. Mr.
Murray spoke simultaneously with
Dr. Augustin Frigon, Assistant Gen-
erall Manager, who 'addressed. the
French network.
M'r. Murray, speaking in the "Chat-
ing With the ,Listener" series, an-
nounced that the new Maritime sta=
tion, ODA, is 'being . constructed at
Aulac, near Sackville, N.B., and that
the surveys that will determine the
site of CB'K, the Prairies station, are
nearing ,completion. The inauguration
of these plants will mark the comple-
tion sof CB'C's second instalment of
the nation plan ,for high-power .cover-
age. The first instalment was com-
pleted (last year with the construction
of 'OB -L and OBF, two 130,000. watt
stations to serve (Ontario and Quebec.
Exchange of producers, !which al-
ready has been carried out to some
extent with great success with the
Mather Country, will be extended to
the Dominions, Mr. Murray stated.
The 'Vancouver Symphony 'Orches-
tra already has been broadcast and
CDC will broaden its .policy to in-
clude the Toronto •Symphony 'Orch-
estra, the Montreal Symphony ,Orch-
estra, Les Concerts Symphoniques
des Montreal and 'the Calgary Sym-
phony 'O•rchestra. 'By supporting or-
c'hes'tras in existence rather than by
creating a central .orchestra, as the
BB:C did in the .United Kingdom,
CBC is spreading its resources, en-
couraging ;local initiative and the pub-
lic performance of good music, he
said. He added that if CBC does its
job .properly in relation to •quality, it
cannot 'allow 'geography to intervene
•unduly. Dance music and old time
music also will be highlighted in a
special way.
Development of dramatic produc-
tion, especially of plays°,by Canadian
writers, will be ,carried out and there
will be an extension of children's
programmes. 'Talks and talkers are to
be handled professionally, discussions
on international affairs will ,be contin-
ued in a more ambitious way, and
there will :be an increase in special ev-
ent 'broadcasts. Commentators also
will 'be heard regularly and men and
women of various types and walks of
life will con'tri'bute to a special series,
"My Job." Mr. Murray announced
that later in the season there will be
an intercity 'bridge 'tournament and a
spelling -'bee. Al series of religious
broadcasts under the auspices of the
National Advisory •Committee on Re-
ligion, representative of the principal
denominations, also will be intro -

CANADA YEAR BOOK, 1938
The publication :of the 11938 edition
of the Canada Year .Book, published
by authorization of the 'Hon. W. D.
Euler, Minister of Trade and Com-
merce, is announced by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics. 'The Canada
Year 'Brook is the ,official statistical
an•naial of the. .country and 'contains a
thoroughly up-to,da'te account 'of the
natural ,resources of the Dominion
and their development, the history of
the .country, its institutions, etc.—in
brief, a comprehensive s'tu'dy within
the limits of a single volume of the
social and economic condition of the
Dominion. This new edltio•n has 'been
thoroughly revised throughout and
includes in all its chapters the latest
information -available up to the ,date
of going to _press.
The 19118 Canada Year Book ex-
tends to almost 31,200 pages, dealing
with all phases of the national life
and more especially with ''hose sus-
ceptible of statistical measurement. A
statistical summary of the progress of
Canada is included in the introduct-
ory matter. This ,gives a ]picture in
figures of the remarkable progress
which the country has made since.
the 'first cens•u's of the Dominion was
taken in 118073, sixty-seven years ago.
Attention may he called to some of
the more important features of the
present volume.
In Chapter •I, -which treats of Phy-
siography, a •revised 'article on the
Geology of 'Canada appears; Part IIS
—Seismology—last ,published -in the
19311 Year Book is brought up. to date
this year; and a special 'article, "The
Flora of Canada", prepared by John
Adapts, 'M.A., 1(Cantab.), Division of
Botany, Experimental Farm, Ottawa,
appears as 'Part II\. In Part VII,
which deals with Climate and ,Met-
eorology, a new section and tables on
Tunes of Sunrise and Sunset in Can-
ada are given.
At pp. 08-90, .an additional Part on
Historic Sites and !Monuments in
Canada is added to Chapter TI. A
section on the Government of Can-
ada's Arctic Territory has been added
to 'Chapter SIS„ and at pp. 3110-119 the
provincial 'legislatures from 11924 to
the present are tabulated, tying -in
with the series from ,Confederation to
19123 pulblished in the 719184 Year Book.
A special feature of !Chapter VIII—
Agriculture—this year is the ' article
appearing at pp. 1223.2430 dealing with
the .Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Pro-
gram inaugurated by the Dominion
Government to alleviate the .condi-
tions brought about by the incidence
of the recent agricultural crisis in the
West, and to provide for ,permanent
improvements in areas suffering from
drought 'and soil -drifting.
All the space that could be spared
in Chapter XIX--,Lalbour and Wages
—has been given to a summary re-
view of Labour Legislation in Cana-
da, 'which appears at pp. 787-7196, and
to an extended treatment of Mothers'
Allowances by individual provinces.
In addition to the special features
mentioned, some progress has been
made in ,filling in the new framework
of Chapter XIVIII—Transportation
and Communications—as it' was recast
last 'year, 'hut unfortunately certain of
the 'statistical series are not yet com-
plete. The section of Chapter XXXI—
Public Finance—which deals with Ca-
pital' Investments in 'Canada. and 'Ca
nadian Investments Abroad, has been
completely revised 'and a new series
of historical statistics on a compara-
ble 'basis, which entirely •repllacesall
earlier figures, is .now presented of Or
the .years 19216 to 21913153 at pp. 896-1809.
In Chapter XXTII—;Currency and
Banking—the tables concerning Loan
and Trust 'Companies have been re-
cast, statistics regarding Small Loans
Companies separated therefrom, and
a separate section on Small Loans
'Companies added: the 'business of
'these companies has now reached con-
siderable 'proportions and, in ,view of
the special legislation governing their
incorporation and operation, the sep-
aration is desirable, The review of 'life
insurance 'given in Chapter XXIII
has 'been rounded ant ,lay the inclusion
of text and tables covering the busi-
ness of Canadian companies abroad
and Chapter XXIV—E'du'cation—has
been recast, (both in regard to textual
treatment and 'tabatllar presentations.
A ,list of special :articles appearing

to, 119317 will Ibefound at page vi imme-
diately preceding the map of Canada,
There are over thirty maps and
charts 'contained in the volume, and
two photo -gelatine inserts illustrating

da" and "Historic Sites and Monu-
ments", respectively. Three litho-
graphed maps are included.

copies have 'been set aside for minist-
ers of religion, bona fide students and

ANCIENT ORIGIN OF "HONEY-
MOON"
Among the northern nations of Eu-
rope, in ancient times, it was the cus-
tom for newly married couples to
drink metheglin or mead (a kind of
wine. made 'from honey) for thirty
days after marriage. Antiquarian lore
has it that from this custom the term
"honey month," or "!honeymoon" ori-
ginated, Whether or not that is the
origin of the word, it is known that in
the days of marriage by capture the
bridegroom remained in biding with
his 'bride until ,her kinsmen tired of
the search for :her.
,Later, when love entered marriage
and elopements were frequent, the
bride and 'bridegroom remained in
hiding, for a while. Both of these
"hiding periods" seem to point to pos-
sible origins of -the honeymoon trip.

SRAFORTH, ONTARIO,
SPEED RECORD
The world's speed king, Captain
George E. T. Eyebolt of England,
feels that at almost .3160 miles an hour
he virtually has "leached the *ceiling ,of
speed on land.
His chief rival, \John Cobb, also of
London, .holds however that there is
no limit to the rate of motion man
can attain on the ground.
Captain Eyston last week was
timed at 3149,16 utiles an hour as he
rocketed his 'T'hunderbolt automo'biie
through the measured utile on the
Bonneville Salt Flats 'just east of
Wendover, 'Uta'h, 1U. S. A.
He admitted. dash -board instrum-
ents showed he hit very close ,to 3160
on the return run through the ,mile
when failure of an electrical timing
device nullified his certain new record.
"I've figured it out," said Captain
Eyston, "and I don't think a land
speed of much more than 3160 miles
an hour is possible.
"Racing tires to hold up at greater
speeds can't be 'built. At 3160 the out-
side of the tire is travelling at the
speed of sound, about 700 miles an
hoar. If they weren't completely
shielded, the wind alone would rip
them wide open."
After you pass 300, he went on,
the graph of trouble rises almost ver-
tically, and the graph of car and en-
gine !performance drops rapidly.
"Man won't go much faster than 360
on land," he said.
Countered Mr. 'Cobb:
"If you can get tires that will hold
up, if mechanical engineering ,con-
tinues its remarkable development,.
and if you can get long enough
straightway courses, I dant think
there's any ,limit to .the speed man
could travel."
Mr. Cobh, who was waiting use of
the salt flats for a record attempt in
his turtle -shaped Railton car, and Sir
Malcolm Campbell of England are
are the only other men who have
driven a car faster than 3001 miles
an hour.
Sir Malcolm set the mark at 301
m.p.h. on the flats in 1936. Captain
Eyston hiked it to 3111442 last Novem-
ber. Mr. Cobb hit 'better' than 300
in a trial run.
Bishop -Murch Wedding-
A quiet wedding was solemnized
at the Ontario Street 'United Church
manse, •Clinton, an Saturday, August
27, at 9 o'clook, when Rev. Garnet
G. Burton, M. a., .B.D„ united in mar-
riage Madeline Ruth, only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs, Lorne Murch, Clin-
ton, to Russell F. -Bishop of Goder-
ich. The young couple were attended
by Miss Mary 0. Andrews and Mr.
William 'Murch. After a short motor
trip \fr. and Mrs. Bishop will reside
in Goderich, On Friday evening Miss
Murch was the guest of honor at a
gathering of her girl friends at the
home of Miss Evelyn Heard, Clinton,
when a happy evening was spent.
Disney Farm Attracts Many—
Although earn may be flattened in
some portions of Huron county, it
hasn't been 'bothered on the old Dis-
ney homestead, on the first line of
Morris Township, The farm. now
owned by SandyM'cEwen, has corn
towering to a height of 10 and in
some , cases 12 feet. It's rated as
among the 'best fields of corn in
Huron County this year. The farm is
the one cleared by Keppel Disney,
grandfather of Walt Disney, creator
of Mickey Mouse and animated car-
tonna. Keppel Disney, born at Hol-
mesville, was one of 116. children.
When he was 25 years old he mar-
ried Mary Richardson, an aunt of
Peter Cantelon ;who now lives retired
in 'Goderich. They lived in Morris
Township clearing a hone on the
farm where Sandy McEwen now
lives. The first house was a log one
It was in the log house that Elias
Disney was born, the man who was
destined to have such a famous son,
Later Keppel Disney went to Kan-
sas. His son Elias went to Chicago
where the famous Walt was ,born.
The Disney -farm attracts many peo-
ple since it was made public that
three generations of Disneys have
been residents of Huron County. An
invitation may be sent to Walt Dis-
ney to come back and see the ,place
Where his family lived. It is hoped
that Mr. and Mrs. Elias Disney,
Walt's father and mother, who are him if he happens to take advantage
living in Hollywood, will accompany of the invitation.
Wheels Stop Briefly
When Miller Retires
The following refers to a well
known former resident of this county,
now living in 'Calgary: The humming
wheels and machinery which he had
tended as headmillerfor 24 years
were stilled for an hour when 60 of-
ficials and employes gathered in the
cereal mill at the 'Western Canada
Flour Mills. in Calgary to 'bid fare•
well to "Jim" Pair, 111109 Fourth street
west, Calgary, on the eve of his 're-
tirement and to present him with sev-
eral 'farewell gifts. Mr. Fair came to
,Calgary with his family in. 19114 to
take up the position of 'head miller in
the cereal mill of the company. He
had previously been employed as a
head miller at Clinton, Ontario. R. J.
Marriott, manager of the mill, pres-
ented Mr. Fair with a purse and a
scroll containing the autographs of
fellow -workers. A watch, suitably en-
graved, was presented by Harry Mat-
thews, an associate of the retiring
,miller. At present Mr. and Mrs. Fair
are psending a 'brief holiday with one
of his daughters, Mrs. D. A. Mc-
Gregor, at 'Clareshol•m. He has one
other daughter Mrs. 3. H. R. Thomp-
son, of Calgary, besides his youngest
daughter Dixie, who lives at home."

SALES PROMOTIDON HEAD
IS APPOINTED BY HYDRO
Formation of a Hydro sales promo-
tion department under the direction of
Morris J. McHenry is announced by
the Ontario Hydro Electric 'Power
Commission, through its chairman
and chief engineer, Dr. T. H. Hogg.
Mr. M'cH•enry, the central figure
in this ,new departure ofOntario's pu-
blicly -owned power 'system, will be
responsible for dissemination of in-
formation on the varied ,uses of elec-
tric service. The Commission, it was
explained in the announcement, be-
lieves that its 'duties are not fully ,dis-
charged by simply making available
low-cost electric service throughout
the 'Province. It feels that if the great
range of uses and benefits of electric
service in the home, farm and indus-
try were better known, the consump-
tion of power -would be increased and
its cost to the consumer diminished.
Long and intimate contact with the
electrical industry and the power
problems of Ontario highly qualify
Mr. McHenry to direct this new de-
partment within the Hydro Commis-
sion. He was graduated from McGill
University, Department of Electrical
Engineering, in +1191101; was associated
with Messrs. Smith, Kerry, & Chace,
cous•ulting engineers, Toronto; in 1012
joined the staff of the Apparatus Di-
vision, Toronto District'Offce, Cana-
dian General Electric System, where
he completed an extensive rehabilita-
tion 'program; became sales manager
of the Ferranti Electric Company Li-
mited; and in '1926 returned "to the Ca-
nadian General Electric Company as
manager of the 'U.S. Sales Depart-
ment. Since 1930 he has ,been 'Toron-
to district manager of C -G -E,
Widely known in power circles
across the entire continent, Mr, 'Mc-
Henry is past president of the Asso-
ciation of Municipal Ele•ctric'al 'Utili-
ties of ,Ontario, and at present vice-
president for Canada of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers. He
is a member of the Association of
Professional Engineers of Ontario,
and a former member of the Board of
Governors. He is president of the El-
ectric Service League, Toronto
In his new capacity Mr. McHenry
will report directly 'to the Ontario Hy-
dro Commission, and he will com-
mence his duties ,about the middle of
September.
