Needle Ice Blocks Goderich Intake —The town of 'Goderich and the city of Buffalo, N.Y., were drawn some- what together recently when in both eases needle ice blocked their : water intakes, leaving bath places without 'an adequate water supply for most of the day, The cause appears to have been the sante in both cases. The lakes froze out to about the point of the intakes.A thaw came on accom- panied by a strong wind. This broke up the edges of the ire which, being crushed by the waves was driven in small particles under the solid ice. This tends to gather along the edges but being constantly driven back it goes down as it accumulates until there is a belt of fine particles ex- tending to the lake bottom. This can happen at any distance from the shore, The, Buffalo intake is aboutlfive miles out in the lake, whereas Goder- eli's is near the end of the south breakwater. \Vater and light officials worked all day, reversing the flow of the engines, which forced the waters back to the lake and in time cleared the accumulation. It is intend- ed hooking up the water in the mains with the intake pipe in such a way that if the difficulty ever happens again all the water throughout town can be instantly reversed so that it will flow back into the lake by gravi- ty, This wilt give a pressure of 1!30 to the square inch and should blast any obstruction out of the way in .short order. Officials state, however, that there might mot be a recurrence of the trouble for years. Death of R. E. Pickard at Exeter.— _'\ ,shadow- of gloom was cast over Exeter last week when it was learned that Mr, Robert E. Pickard, a well- known and highly esteemed resident .+f Exeter, had passed away. For many years he was actively associated with the bnginess nInterests of (Exeter, Ire served an apprenticeship in the mer- cantile business, of Samivell and Pick- ard and 'later conducted the business „1 Rr Picltard Co. He built a fine red brick block ,m Exeter Main street. 'rite 'Pickard establishment was, one of the finest outside of the city. In • addition to ;he Exeter store he had branches at 1-rensall and Dashwosal. [tt 1e02 when many families were nr'v r, to the West Mr. and Mrs. 1'irrca1 and fancily left and settled near Frobisher. Sask., where they :farmed two sections of land, In 1923. the family returned to Exeter and Mr: Pickard engaged in insurance and real e,tate business. Besides his bereaved wid.gis whose maiden name was Miss Elit.alath Verity, he is survived by ttvo sans and one daughter, Clarence V, I ukarrl of Exeter; Allan of Re- gina, Sask., and Mrs M. F. Glad - man of London. The youngest son Cecil was in the flying corps during the war and was killed in August, 10114 The deceased is ala survived by two sisters and two brothers, 'Mrs. W. J.

Rowe of Exeter, wit. for the past 19 year, has been engaged in the egg business along with his 'coal mid gaso- line business has decided to discon- tinue the handling of eggs and de- vote his attention exclusively to coal and gasoline. During the first five years that Lrr, Rowe was in business eggs Were collected from the stores over a wide area and considerable q tantities were handled. The peak years, were 19119 and 1920. The high- est price ever paid for eggs in 'Exeter was during 9919 when at Christmas time $ll a dozen woos reached. Death of H. Joyner. "A familiar figure has disappeared from streets int Clinton in the death, which occurred at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs W, C. Mead, Kitchener, of Hen- ry Joyner, Mr. Joyner had almost Lighting Houses Without Wfres?— Although little has been heard for some months of 11.r. 'Francis ,Fedy's electrical transmission discovery, the inventor has been working quietly and has effected several im'phovetnents in his device, the result of which was very apparent at the demonstration given on Tuesday evening, says the Mildmay \Gazette, On this occasion there were present 'Professor Ander- son of the school of practical science, Toronto; Messrs. Fred Griffin, T. H. Cole, Robert Wood and M. Smith ,of the Toronto Star staff, J, H. Grierson. of London, and a ittunher of Mildmay friends of the inventor. The demon- stration took place in the Hesch int- plenient wer'eroams. Mr. Feely and his guests made a careful inspection of the surroundings and satisfied themselves that the premises was completely iso- lated from any suggestion of a con- nection with the local electrical sys- tem. The principle employed by the inventor and his assistant, Ted IIesch, was the same as at the previous de- monstration in ;February last. A trans- mitter coil was installed in the R. C. Cemetery in a direct line with the aerial reception wire set out on the roof of the building. The electrical current coating in to the building was brought into the inventor's receiving apparatus and by means of trans- formers and controls specially cott- structed by the inventor, the voltage was• adjusted sufficiently to be used in ourordinary 11110 -volt globes. The voltage of the current, however, was estimated to be nearly 140, .After a few adjustments were made by the inventor, three sixty watt electric globes were brilliantly illuminated, and in order to show that there was lots of juice in reserve, a heater re- quiring 350 watts to operate was also hooked up. Francis then tried to con- nect up his radio set, but owing to the high, voltage of the 'current, the tabes were burned out: The dem- onstration continued for 81z minutes, Questioned by Professor Anderson the Star electrical experts, Mr, Fedy was able to give them considerable very interest:rig infltrtnatiop without rliviulging "the secret of his discovery. Scientists have decided that there- are two electrical air rays, the static and cosmic, and it is the latter that the inventor is employing. We learn that Mr. Fedy plans to give another detn- onsti-ation in wireless transmission in the near future. Arrested on Charge of Fraud, — Percy Lawless of Brussels was ar- rested in Seaforth last week on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. IIe appeared before Magis- trate J. A.

NEW YEAR MESSAGE To Hospital A1ci Members from the President of the Ontario Hospital Aids Association, "Our lives are Albums — written through with good or ill -with false or true, and as the blessed •angels turn the pages of the years—,God grant they read the good with smiles and blot the ill with ten's." Whittier, As we kneel before the Altar of an- other gift of time—A New Year—may we all feel the need of forgiveness for past mistakes and omissions, and with the IPsalnaist plead for guidance and help.—"So teach us to number our days that we may get us a heart of wisdom." Never in our time has the treed been greater for—wisdom, pati- este, faith, and a 'heart 'filled with un- derstanding compassion 'for the needs of our fellowmen. God grant that we may be guided aright int the paths we pursue, and may we during these anx- ious times—give of ourselves and suc- cour to cheer and comfort those who are cast down—and in need. Let us give the milk of human kindness along the way—that lonely ones may be made glad. We hear much these days of Peace and ways and means for world peace. The world cannot have peace until the individual has peace in his heart. I wonder—if we do not 'too often de- pend on poor weak earthly ways and means to this end. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble"—does it not then behoove us to anchor our faith .in His Eternal promises, and to see beyond t'he pres- ent disasters the possible purposes of God. Who but Christ can bind this torn and discordant world together ? We have tried 'experimen'ts of diplo- macy, trade, secular education and many other means, and all have prov- en unequal to the task. Yet we are told—"Aad I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto the." .Fellow-workers—let us, as we listen for the foot fall of this New clean year—pledge ourselves to pray more earnestly, to .strive more faithfully for the goodwill of all mankind—flet us start within our own hearts to create the nucleus of a new league for Peace —Let us do our part in bringing: about a lasting ;Peace—land may our watch word 'for this year be—"good will toward all .men." If your' life is unselfish, if for others you live, it is not how much you can get, but how much you can give—If you Inc•close to God In His I:nlfinite Grace, you won't. have to tell—It will show in your 'face, The great 'Physician ministered to the bruised reeds—what tender names He called them—Son — Daughter -- Have Have we quite learned His way. "Teach us Thy way 0 Lord — Love suffereth long and is kind; !Love vaunteth not itself, Love envieth not." Otto Saviour 'explained to His dis- ciples that the only greatness in the Kingdom was service. "Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense of ser- vice which thou renderest." 3t was Tdnackeray who said—\Never lose a chance of saying a kind word, as. Collingwood never saw a vacant place in his estate, but he took ' an acorn out of his pocket and placed it in the earth.—So deal with your kind- nesses—aa acorn costs nothing, but it may sprout into a .prodigious bit of good timber. We should be very careful of our attitude toward ,our fellowmen. Inspir- ation and encouragement are healing balms—let us plant these little acorns wherever we may. Who knows—but great timbers may develop therefrom. Little unkind wards 'sometimes do much harm and .leave many scars. (George Eliot once said—'as to peo- ple saying a few idle words about us, we nest not mind that, any stare than the old church -steeple minds the rooks cawing about it." Yoti know, dear fellow -workers, if we could take selfishness and jeal- ousy out of the world there would be more happines titan we should know what to do with, 'Bovet once said—'"Next to God, we are indebted to women, first for life itself, and then for snaking it worth living. We have a 'high and noble standard to keep. Now, just as genu- inely as we give our offering upon the altar of the year --{just su much nearer Shall we sit at His feet, When earth's last picture is painted, and the tabes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and the youngest critic has died, \Ve shall rest, and faith, we shall treed it—lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of all good workmen shall set us to work anew-, organization. When he was in ;art election he was in with all the vital- ity which he owned. His personal ac- quainntaance ,.with the 'people in this riding was .phenomenal. There were, few whont he did not know, and few- er still to w'ttam he was not known. Those who voted :for him ;Piked Dr. Monteith; those who voted against him and worked against frim had na cause for :enmity. In his campaigns he always fought oat in the open; he never said meats things nor slid he make political sores which would not heal. He preferred always to follow the rule of that school w'hic'h sticks to the text. The lure toward a political life runs deeply through the;Monteith family. The late Andrew 'vContei'th, father of the !Doctor, was a member ,of the first legislature followitt(g Confederation when be was a supporter 'af the John Sau!lield Macdonald government. A brother, J. C. Monteith, has also been elected to the Legislature. His cousin, the Hon. Nelson ,Monteith, was Min- ister of Agriculture in th'e Whitney government, and is today .the only surviving member of that ,cabinet, So there was in a !narked way .po'litfcal background in the ,family of the late Minister of Labor and Public Works. He came from a farts ,and he under- stood farming; he taught school in the country and he practised medicine in the city, so in all he had a close un- derstanding of the fives and prob- lems of marry folk. To tis city he gave service as well, being mayor tor two 'years, following a year as alder- man. The (Board of Education and the Horticultural Society also gave scope for his desire for public service. As -opportunity offered he travelled much, being one of those individuals who indulged the desire to go around the world and visit all the countries. Ile was a delightful person to meet and to know. It will not seem quite the sante with Dr. Monteith absent. To the task which was placed before him he brought ail the strength and ability at his command; he did not spare himself, ;He leaves an honora record in a family where honorabll: tradition ranks high. — ;Stratford Beacon, And those that were good will be hap py: they shall sit in 0 golden chair; They shall splash at a ten -league can vas with �brushes of comes air— They shall. --find real saints to draw from—Magdalene, Peter and Pant. They shill work for an age at a sitting and never grow weary at all 1 And only the Master shall praise us and only the -Master shall blame; And no one shall work for stoney, and na one shall work for fame; Bat each.for the joy of the working and each in Itis separate Star, Shall draw t'he Think as he sees it fo the 'G'od at Things as they are— (L''Ertvoi) 'Rudy'ard Kipling.

MONTEITH IS DEAD Han. Dr. J. D, Monteith has gone. We regret it; so do others. 'Since 'he was stricken in Listowel while at- tending the funeral of the late An- drew Malcolm he has been fighting a battle which, front the nature of the attack, made it difficult for at- tending physicians to bring to hi aid the measure of help he 'needed,. There is so little which can be done for one who has suffered from a severe stroke: The patient can be kept comfortable; he suffers little if any pain, and it is well to know that such was the case with Dr. Monteith. We do not believe it is too much to say that Dr. Monteith was wor t out. IIe was a person of tireless en- ergy; he was not known at any tie to have spared himself. He consid- ered that 'his time and effort were both at the service of the public, and a man who does that is apt to draw upon his strength and power of resistance until the springs of re- serve energy are dried up. Dr. 'Monteith found public life ex- acting; it could not have been other- wise, and yet he liked it. To him at elections campaign was an event to be welcomed with that peculiar zest which he brought to itis assistant and to the strengthening of his own BUIXET YO budget your savtnqs s T is not enough to budget your expendi- tures.

McMILL1AN, Manager PIONEER AUTOIST DIES "Father of the trans -Canada high- way" and one of the Dominion's pio- neer motorists, Dr, 'Perry E. Doolittle, died in Toronto after a brief illness. He was 72 years of age, (Sine 1920 he had been president of the 'Canad- ian Autonsobile Association, the larg- est motor body in the British 'Empire outside of England. At the age of seven years Dr. Doo- little became the proud possessor of a home-made bicycle, Later he made a wooden bicycle w'ih an 18 -inch rear wheel and a 4S -inch front whee backbone of the vehicle was a pt , c of gas pipe .and it had steel tires, He builclt another from a musket barrel and wire wheels, importing the tires from England. On the bicycle he made a successful debut in racing and between liOS'I and 1890 won snore titan 50 trophies, in- cluding the championship of Canada. Ire raised the first Canadian good roads campaign fund. He graduated in medicine from Tri- nity College and specialized in electro- therapeutics. He invented the coaster brake, the demountable rim and the Doolittle by-pass valve and travelled to major centres in the United States, Great Britain and Europe. On April 1, 1:898, John Moodie of Hamilton imported the first motor car into Can- ada. Shortly afterwards the car was bought by Dr. 'Doolittle. 'Ian 11900 he helped organize the first automobile club in Canada. NATURE'S AIRCRAFT In these clays the air is filled with aeroplanes. It is a novelty no longer to hear one soaring and whizzing above our heads, yet many • a 'time have we left our play- end our work to watch one.
