L, Craig, Publisher, \Vinglum Advance -Times Wingltam, Ontario, Dear Mr. Craig:— The stock market collapse, which, for many, offers a timely excuse for lack of better results, after a year of strenuous efforts, has in fact caused a certain disturbance within the radio industry the effects of which are yet to be' digested. About :the middle hart of 1929, rad- io manufacturers' and jobbers seemed; to be pregnant with an unusual kind of enthusiasm which induced them to over-estimate their requirements, for the next season. Orders were placed in large quantities and the disease being contagious, all manefactalrers were anxious to have their share of the coming prosperity. The inevitable followed. Soon af- ter fter the crash, the consumer would hesitate to buy the budgeted radio; the dealer would cancel his. orders with the jobber and this latter unde- sirable ndesirable middleman hadno alternative but' to "pass the buck" on to the un- fortunate manufacturer. The well-meaning manufacturer, eager to serve his friends to the best of his ability, had to put his plant in - good shape in order to cope with the ever-increasing business. New mac- hinery and equipment was installed, long -needed alterations made and nat- urally considerable sums of money spent in local improvements. This Company, like any other in the industry, had to face the uncalled- for situation. After months of un- precedented activity — some people would be well advised to refresh their minds in this respect—we had to lay off part of our staff and put the house in order. 13usi$ess men with an un- biased judgment have already realiz- ed that it was only common sense to ..do so. We have in the past endeavored to employ as. many hands as was con- sistent with business requirements; we have also endeavored to favor the local supply of labor wherever it was available. Our policy for the future will remain 'unchanged. What does the present year hold in store for the radio manufacturer? The consensus of opinion is that 1930 is going to be a healthy business year for 'those who keep their houses in order, Le., those whose main ef- forts will tend to control production and maintain more efficient merchan- disingr,no methods. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the indus- try and all is needed is a better state of stabilization the first era of which well-informed business -men he • sec during 1930, Although no radical change is ex- pected in the mechanical part of the radio, refinements and improvements in cabinet design will undoubtedly be the feature of this end of the busi- ness during the next twelve months. Prospects for cabinet business for' this company are brighter than ever. The re -adjustment of business condi- tions in general may well absorb the better part of the next six months but we have reason to believe that in the very near future we shall resume our operations to the satisfaction of all concerned. It may he proper to join the .chorus of industrial leaders and proclaim OUT LOOK BETTER, but 1 be- lieve it is advisable for the present to read those three words from right to left and maintain a policy of pruden- ce and safety. Thanking you, Mr. Craig, for the opportunity afforded to me and with best personal regards. Faithfully yours, J. P. Tessier, Managing Director.

STET WV, Sales en at e ich /E N` ST ' '' ITT, Salesman at ghoul. Dr, N. Maci. Harris Gives Interesting Lecture on Subject. Most baeteria are harmless, accord,' ing to Dr. Norman MaeL. Harris, of the Dominion Department .of Pea- stone and National liealtit,, speaking to Over eight hundred children at the recent! National Museum of Canada y Dr, Harris said that many kinds of baetera are decidedly beneficial atld without some of them we could not live. Without their help we could have neither . bread nor butter, and without certain kinds to enrich the soil wheatand potatoes could not grow. Dead horses, cows and eats are ultimately caused to disappear of-. ter such agencies as mammals, birds and beetles have clone their work of. getting rid of certain parts of these remains. The sewage of our cities and farms is eventually disposed of by bacteria. Bacteria, sometimes called germs or. microbes, :are everywhere in mil- lions, in milk and water, and cyan iu the air we breathe and the soil we cultivate. They are on all sorts of objects such as fruit and other fends. The uncanny glow of light sometimes seen in the sea is caused by certain germs, Plague germs are carried by a ilea from a rat to human beings. Some people carry typhoid germs. Dr. Har- ris showed the children pictures of the minute microbes that cause ty- phoid, lockjaw, diphtheria, tubercu- losis, etc. Some bacteria have the form of snakes, others that of a base ball and a sausage. If a sausage were magni- fied as much as the sausage-shaped bacteria that he showed upon the screen he said the sausage would ap- pear to be five miles long. Of some kinds of germs 4,000 placed side by side would measure only one inch, and there are kinds that would take 25,000 and even 50,000 placed end to end to make an inch row. After his lecture Dr. Harris show- ed a motion picture of a boy and girl named George and Helen on a visit to a bacteriological laboratory, where they saw germs from water and from George's dirty fingers planted in gel- atine, and how they grew in num- bers. In two days these tiny germs had multiplied to millions—and their mass had become so large as to be plainly visible to the naked eye. It is hoped that soon the lectures of the Nai:anal Museum of Canada may be converted into motion pic- ture film and loaned wherever de- sired throughout Canada, thus carry- ing the message that is now available in Ottawa to the people of all the cities and towns of Canada and where ever a motion picture projection ma- chine is available. TRAFALGAR. Newspaper of -Nov. 7, 1805, Records • Noteworthy Incidents. The "Times" of November 7, 1805, contains the official report of Ad- miral Collingwood, to the Admiralty of the Battle of Trafalgar, and of the death of his revered commander and friend, Lord Nelson. -Also is given a list of casualties among the officers and of captures, also the list of cap- tures of the enemies' vessel, includ- ing nineteen battleships of the line. In the same issue are recorded some noteworthy incidents of that memorable victory. One was as fol- lows: "When Lord Nelson was shot, and was yet in the arms of the men who were supporting him, his eye caught the tiller rope, which was un- usually slack. He exclaimed with much emphasis: 'Tighten that rope there,' an eminent proof that his pre- fessiosai ardor still survived tale bril- liancy of the dame of life." Another incident: "A man was so completely out in two by a double - headed shot that the whole of his body, with the exception of his legs up to his knees, was blown some yards into the water; but, strange to tell, his legs were left standing on the deck with all the firmness and animation of life." TUE CITY OF FI JME Italy's. Glittering Gush of a Port li'0 fl Which I3crtiiness Alfas Departed. Fiume, the divided city, the out- post of two states, is at the very tip :af Italy's mosteaster} point of eat- s Much of the cit is In Italy: bat 1ion, vi a !.utitzsdidedbyasunll river and the part beyond that is in Jugoslavia, 2 short bridge joins the two conn- tries, and the sentinels station at both ends let hundreds of people cross daily, for many live in one part of the city and do business In the other. However, there isn't much. business done in the Italian part of Fiume, says a correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor, Everyone knows that Italy is shap- ed as a boot, with the heel turned east. If .one pretended that his left arm were the Adriatic' sea running along the bask of the boot between Italy and Jugoslavia, then his left hand, held palm downward, with the fingers together and thethumb dis- t( nded, istended, would roughly resemble the forked upper end of the sea. At the. tip of the forefinger is the excellent port of Trieste, which before the war handled a large part of the traffic of lower central Europe. At the end of ' the little finger across the sea from Trieste is Venice, Europe's most mysterious, captivat- ing city, resting in the water. The peninsula between the forefinger and the somewhat distended thuauh is the territory which Italy won from Aus- tria as a result of the great war. Across the peninsula, at the end of the thumb, on the inside, is Abbazia, a much frequented seaside resort. At the end of the thumb, on' the outside, is Fiume, the divided eity.; One may travel from Trieste, across. the mountainous peninsula of Ab- basia, ower an excellent automobile road forty miles long, in an hour and a half. Thea from Abbazia one goes in ferryboats across the end of the sea to Fiume, forty cool and delight- ful minutes away. Almost the whole shore is lined with bathers. But as one enters Fiume's excel- lent harbor, all is quiet and still. There is no business, no traffic, no • going and coming of boats. National- istically saved, romantically delivered by the Italian poet, d'Annunzio, Fi- ume is commercially ruined, All the business of Jugoslavia goes through her part of the port, Rijeka; all the traffic of Austria and northern Italy goes through Trieste. Fiume site proud, attractive, patriotic and pe- nurious. The grand governor's palace glistens on the height. Beautiful 'villas stand out white upon the tree covered hills. Several magnificent new buildings have been put up. Fine looking banks have been opened. But they remain largely idle, and the enormous warehouses stand empty. Fiume is all dressed • up, but has no place to go, or rather has nobody to come and make her a visit. Italy feels happier to have Fiume as her port, though it is idle, than she would be to see it busy though a free port. It used to handle the traffic of Croatia and Hungary, and Italy has again invited Hungary to . use it as her shipping point. Perhaps it will again welcome and send off heavily laden ships, and the Sag of Hungary will be once more on the Adriatic. At present it is a white, glittering gem at the tip of Italy's empire, and a trip from there to Abbazia on a jaun- ti little ferryboat, along the rim of the Adriatic, is a delightful way to spend part of an August day. Muses 'Where Worshipped, We speak loosely of the muses wer•y often without realizing that they were actually worshipped by the an- ciente as Goddesses of Song. There were nine or them, a fact. which has given a kind of "lucky" character in musical matters to that number. They were Clio, the narrator or re- citer; Euterpe, the bringer of joy; Thalia, the blossoming; Erato, the lovely; Melpomene, the singer; ; Terp sichore, the, dancer; Urania, the - heavenly; Calliove, the beautiful voiced; and Polyhymnia, the many - voiced. In these descriptions will be found the broad idea that the " Ancient Greeks hal of soe.,g, and the complete aspect of it which can be applied to it to -day, When we speak t,f Parnas- sus, also, we use a Greek word that means the Hill of Song, though it is often used as meaning the place where artists of al' kinds get their reward of fame. It 1,\1•1,3 originally tlt dwelling-plaee of the Musts. Relic of Roman Days. The old Fosse Way, which is to be completely re -opened in its Warwick- shire section, is the early English name for the Roman road that ran from Lincoln to Exeter, writes Look- er -On in the London Daily Chronicle Practically the whole of the original Roman line is still in use, although in parts it has dwindled to a lane From Lincoln its course may be trac- ed through Newark and Leicester to High Cross, where it is intersected by another famous Roman road, Wat- ling street, at a point known as the "centre of England," Then it pro- ceeds through Cirencester and Bath to the half-forgotten Roman encamp- ment of Ilchester, though the road i itself is here in fine condition, After 1 I1clester, the Fosse Way crosses the hills near Chard into Devonshire and thea enters Exeter. The Climbing Perch. A. very lucky fish is the climbing perch of India. This remarkable fellow can live out of water for quite a time; and not only that—he can travel about on land, too! He has no legs, but manages sOmehO\ir to wriggle along on his peculiar -shaped gills, which gills are kept continually wet during his "dry" travelling. This does not limit the accomplish- ments of this fish, for he can even climb trees. He is blessed beyond all the other fish, because, when tht', fre- quent droughts come' along, all he has t0 do is to leave his rapidly van- ishing water ]mine and go forth In search of another. 1nereased World Treacle. According to the Naitonal Foreign Trade. Council of New York Canada, the United States and Japan are in the vanguard of increased world trade, while the twelve nations r Western Euro -re remain slightly b. hind their 1918 level, though advar' Ing steadily. The total trade cf 51 ns.tiOns reacher] $82;914000,000 in *028, while the 1920 aggregate is zstimated to be about $8,5'�l'0,00o,000 ahead of that Figure, WINOHAMVf JUNIORS LOSE TO KJNCARD: bVingham junior Sextet were de- feated in Kincardine on Friday last by a score of 3-1; Kincardine open- ed the scoring in the first period when an easy one slipped in between Brown's legs. This was followed by a .carom off one of the defence, Both 1 J were goals just feces of luck. Both �, teamsp layed hard but no more goals were scored that period In the second period Wingham went out to even the count, andH. Brown scored • on a long shot that the goalie, could not manage to save„ Kincardine, however, got their third. goal shortly afterward. At the first of this period Ross received a bump, that practically made his left arm use- less, but he still played on. Winghanr had seventy-five per cent. of the play y P in the second and third periods bat could not get the breaks.: The win, however, was not a great :. credit to the hockey ability of the Kincardine team, as Winghamplayed one man short about one quarter of the last two periods. Some Kincar- dine ,players had no idea whatever, as to what •constituted a foul and they got the benefit of the doubt ev- ery time. The Wingham team and those who -. accompanied them have no doubts whatever that Wingham would turn the tables decidedly on. Kincardine in the local arena, where conditions would be more suitable for playing hockey. Wingham's line-up was:— Goal: as:—Goal: L. Brown; defence, H, Mit- chell, B. Mitchell; forwards, K Som- ers, Ross, H. Brown; Subs: W. Gur- ney, H. Groves. World's Bravest Woman? Having seen a woman who has slept alone in the jungle grow ter- rified at the sight of a mouse, I must incline to view that Mrs. A. Tuck, or the Mousery, Rayleigh, Essex, Eng- land, ngland, is the world's bravest woman, says an Old Country correspondent.. For Mrs. Tuck lives day and night de b mice thousands of r blas lc, white, pink, blue surroun y them, grey and chocolate=colored. mice. Her husband breeds them for experiments PENSION IN ESTATE MAY BE .DISTRIBUTED In the matter of claims against es- tates of deceased pensioners, the Old. Age Pension Commission at Queen's Park sent out a bulletin on Saturday. outlining the provisions in both : the Dominion and Ontario acts for this particular situation, and adding: "It is not expected that persons who are in receipt of pensions will have estates of very much value. Where a pensioner dies, and, in the opinion of the local board, has an state upon which such board thinks a claim should be made, the Commis- sion would be glad to get a recom- mendation from th local board to this effect. In the event of the amount paid for any pension, or part thereof,. being recovered from the estate of a deceas cd pensioner, the amount so recov- ered will be distributed by the Com- mission in the proportion in which it was paid; that is to say, 50 per -cent. to the Dominion, 30 per cent. to the Province, anct 20 per cent. to the municipality, less any necessary costs incurred in the matter."
