NEW REF'RI.GERATOR , PLANT ATU.F.C. if mod- ern �h b essentials toa n Onb fie i e s It o ern creamerY andprovision' provision plant is adequate cold storage, to keep pro- duce at the right temperature. A. J, Wilson, manager of the U F. Co -Op- erative Co, Ltd, long realized this need, and last year set about to have it provided. A new cement addition about 40 x 60 was built, especially for the creamery, . and equipped with a modern •electrically driven refrigera- tion plant that will' mean a lot for. the patrons. The new building is so constructed that as the rigs drive up to the south door, the ^canes are re- moved, placed on the scales, weighed tested, and as the rigs peo.e edaround the building new can are handed out at the north door, )(This saves a lot of time and there is no confusion or delay. The cream is then put into the pasturizing vats', heated to 120 degrees, then cooled Ley.v the new re- frigerating system,. and is ready foe, the churns of which there are two, each of about 1000 lbs, capacity: A 15' h.p. • motor•, drives a 1.0 -ton York refrigeration' plant which sup- plies the material to keep a cold -stor- age room 20 x` 28 at zero," and which stores an immense quantity of butter in' perfect condition. Then a 3 lep. motor serves to pump the Ervine from 3 tothe ft. �, 15 ft .x a tank 9 ft., pasturi-ring vats. The new plant is laid otit with a view of efficiency, and to save labor, with chutes for loading and unloading butter boxes, carrying empties tothe store room above. It is a big step in advance over the old system of cold storage, and one that will pay good dividends every way. BIGGER AND BETTER CIRCUS COMING No doubt Ittiti are aware diet the teal, honest' to geindetees tirctia, is the greatest entertainment of all amuse- ments, and- the only branch of all amusements that require ne censors. A visit to' the.Circus: is, a clay.,ofaer?- joynaent for the Old and the Young ARENA IS ATTR,ACTI VE Those who attended. the Arena last year during the 'Thursdayevening summer dances were much impressed, with the attractiveness of the decora- tions and provisions rnade for the pleasure of the young people; This year an equally gr"dater improvement' is made. , The platform is set some twenty-five feet farther back :in the arena, providing- greater room for those attending, while the decorations are much more numerous and very artistic,.. Criss-crossing the dancing• :, platform are streamers of small flags and decorations; while at the rear, suspended from the girders are large brightly colored drapes that give a splendid back -ground to the setting: In all, it is a right smart ,place, at- -tractive in appearance,; and the Com- tnittee in charge have but one idea- to make it a' desirable place for the young people to enjoy themselves. It need not. be 'added that the presence of older 'folly's, whose interests -should be with the yottiager set, will be doubly welcome, in that they will en- joy the'4nttsic, the setting, and the satisfaction of seeing the .young peo- ple enjoy themselves., SCHOOL CADET INSPEC- TION ON MONDAY • An event of deep interest to the School and pupils of Wingharn High its friends is the annual Cadet inspec- tion which will be held on Monday afternoon, May 27tb, at 3 p.m. The parents'and friends of the pupils, and others interested in the school 'are in- vited to attend.
