A. Lowden, Canadian Manager of this General Motors subsidary. A program providing for participa- tion by the public as well as by the vast Frigidaire family throughout the country has been arranged and the jubilee will be formally opened July 6th in showrooms everywhere, the announcement stated. "Fifteen years ago," said Mr. Lowden, "there were few electric re- frigerators in use. These were in the homes of the wealthy and this new form of refrigeration was then a lux- ury. Today there are nearly 3,000,- 000 in service and the mass produc- tion factories of this industry are 'working overtime to supply a rapid- ly increasing demand. This house- hold appliance is no longer in the lux- ury class. It is economical to own, -' and to operate and provides a range of household service undreamed of fifteen years 'ago Frigidaire has been the outstand- ing pioneer in' 'bringing the electric refrigerator froin the expensive "el- ectric icebox" class to the money- saving, health -guarding and essential horrie'"servant it is today. Through a policy of progressive engineering, this company has perfected refine- rnents and iinprovements that have made the home electric refrigerator more serviceable, economical and ef- ficient. Through mass production methods and by passing on the public the saving produced by General Mo- tors' large scale purchasing of mat- erials, Frigidaire had brought high quality 'electric refrigeration within reach df practically every home. "A comparison of electric refriger- ation of fifteen years ago and today tells a big part of the story of the progress of the industry,' continued Mr. Lowden, "The lowest priced Txrgidaire. of ,. years, ago cost rnor'e than four times as much as the low- est' priced Frigidaire of today, and the cost of # iaterials' aid labor was then .,much lower. "The fifteenth anniversary jubilee also will murk the period of .greatest,; progress in food preservation in the history of. the ':world. , Nat Only in„ n tru t' In thi ben the n "n us r k fodrd as rvIt` d but, °lube' rt ''i`tior iirn' i5rtailtY' i th.' • home. The homemaker. today fully realizes the vital necessity for prop- erly safeguarding the family food sup- ply. This was brought about mainly by then' development of the electric refrigerator and the tremendous am- ount of food preservation educational activity that accompanied it. "Featuring our jubilee will be var- ious types of demonstrations of the latest household electric refrigerators —the new Frigidaires with lifetime porcelain -on -steel finishes. They re- flect the fifteen years of achievement that we are celebrating and are on display at Frigidaire showrooms." OBITUARY William B.

Combe of Clinton was re-elected president of the South Hu- ron Conservative Association at the annual meeting on Wednesday last in Hensall, Robert Higgins of Hen- sall was re-elected secretary, Owing to the busy time with the farmers the crowd was not as big as usual, but every part of the riding was well represented. All old mem- bers from the municipalities were re- elected. George Spotton, M.P., North Hur- on; Hon. Thomas Kennedy, Ontario minister of agriculture, and John Joynt, . Lucknow, 'were present and gave addresses. Mr. Kennedy gave a splendid address alongthe lines of his work as minister of agriculture and what the Ontario Government is endeavoring to do for the farmers. Mr. Spotton, Dominion member for Forth.

After a rest in the afteruoou; you couldrefresh yourself with sig loaves for tea, and four large eakee; then, in the even-, ing, feeling you {mold like a little sustenance before retiring, you sit down to a meal of Sive courses, each. weighing not hese than twelve pounds. This is what birds are dobeg every day of their lives, if erre take the amount of food they eat in propose tion to their 'weight. The robin will. devour twice its own weight of food every twenty -tour hours. The king- fisher goes one better; I have known one of these hungry fish -eaters to get ea of four timed its own weight of food from sunrise to sunset, Young birds in their nestsare vo- racious feeders, ant their parents are sometimes coasid'ea bly taxed to Ind sufficient to satisfy them. But I have seen gotta( thrushes admit thean- selves beaten when the supply of worms was good. Otte youag bird bail eaten almost all be could, get in- to his crop when a worm appeared on the lawn on which be was stead - bag; this Creature was longer than the bird, but the youngster made a gallant effort to devour it. He man- aged to get it down, but it seemed impossible for him to close his beak properly, and the worm wriggled out. Ile made a second effort with the same result, then stood and looked at the wriggling object beneath hare. He watched it for five minutes or so, then made a , third attempt, and this time, being abbe to close his beak. the worm remained down. Feeding -time at the Zoo is always a popular sight, but far more fun can be obtained by watching some of the smaller creatures, instead of the lions and tigers widish always attract such a crowd. The penguin will de- vour fish almost as long as its body, I saw one small penguin dispose of three full-sized herrings, each one of which was only four inches less than its own length. Birds of prey, and "espieeiafry sone of the larger species that we find on the mountains, such as the golden eagle, the buzzard, and raven, will gorge themselves until they have dif- ficulty in ttytng. " Especially is this so if they have been short of food for a few days, and then coxae across a good supply. A dead horse or GOV will provide such food; for the lordly golden eagle is, after all, a carrion feeder, and beaoaaes as greedy a bird as it is possible to Sind when oppor- tunities occur. In foreign countries vultures are the scae"engers of the countryside, and few dead creatures escape their keen eyes. I have known a horse on the mountains to come to an =time- ly end, and within an hour of its death there was just a pile of bones left, while all around stood a floret of over -gorged vultures. It was im- possible for the great birds to fly, and there they remained until the effects of the feast had worn off. 'E GLASSLESS AGE. Romans Had It, Then It Seems to Have Bean Forgotten. A curiosity of a recent thunder- storm which burst over the Britisb Isles was the breaking of about sev- enty window panes in a house in Scotland. There must still be people living in this village who remember- ed houses and greater places than houses which had windows but no glass. Until well on into the nine- teenth century, for example, Eton had its windows unglazed. The walls were pierced for windows, but they were open. Only at night were they closed by huge shutters. Men shiver- ingiy told in later days how en the winter the snow drifted in upon their beds as they lay in the dormi- tories. Seventy windows to repair in those and earlier days would have been a serious matter indeed. Glass was once common in the houses of the well-to-do; then it seems to have been forgotten. The Romans had it and the Romanized Britons roast have bad at after them, Window glass has been discovered in the ruins of a Roman villa is Kent, England, having lain buried and un- known for perhaps 1,500 Paean to a windowless land. The Saxons can have had little or no glass. The Normans had none, or only very little, in the castles they built in Britain. Their practice, was to Six a tato transparent Nkiu or mem- brane from an animral to serve for window covering. When Shakespeare was writing. and Queen Elisabeth was racing with the help of Drake and ,Raleigh and the rest, the windows of a house were a special possession, and could be willed to different people, They were made up of a series of movable ease- ments, meant to be put in and taken out easily; and when a man diad they were named In his will and passed to whomsoever he desired to have them.

These figures, says a statement issued by the Dominion Department of Trade and Commerce indicate the important rank the automobile and petroleum industries hold in the ec- onomic life of Canada, In addition 'to gasoline used by mo- tor vehicles, tire statement continues, more than 131,000,000 gallons were used for other purposes.
