Breakey Celebrates 2Oth .Anniversary In Electronics Work Probably the only type of 'business to offer its kind of service in this district is the K. W. Breakey Electronics store. Ken Breakey was born in Manitoba, and received his pub- lic school education in Brandon. He attended the Zurich Contin- uation ontinuation School and then went to National Electronics School in Los Angeles, Florida. During the war he spent three years in Montreal, testing com- munication equipment for armed forces at the Canadian Marconi Company. In 1945 Ken returned to Zur- ich and worked for Hess Radio Electric firm here. In 1948 he purchased the electronics end of the business from Harry Hess, and continued the business in part of the building rented from Mr. Hess. In 1957 Ken purchas- ed the former Datars and O'Brien hardware building, where he is presently situated. During his 20 years in the electronics field, he has built and designed numerous inter -com- munication and public address systems. He also designed some special types of power transform- ers, Ken has installed the P.A. stystem in the local arena, as well as having installed the inter -communication system in Kaillbfleisch mills. While he would like to spend more time on this end of the business, Ken finds running an efficient TV service department takes up the greater part of his time. Due to a tremendous interest in hunting and fishing, Ken de- cided to add a line of sporting goods and hobby craft to his business. He has all types of fishing equipment, a wide range of guns and ammunition, as well as a good supply of hobby craft equipment. In the television end of the business, he carries all popular lines of sets, and is fully qualified in the servicing of the same. In the very near future Ken will " have Duward Mc- Adams, Zurich, working with him in the electronics depart- ment. At present Duward is taking a course in this field. Ken's favorite hobby is hunt- ing and fishing. Each year he goes to Eagle Lake, in Northern Ontario, on a trip.

Sad part of it is that, while he was writing that iconoclastic col- umn, a little man in a flying sau- cer two miles above him was pro - badly reading it through the roof, with his super -sonic vision, and marking brother Tumpane down as one of the first to be purged, when they finally decide they can't stand the foolishness of the earthlings any longer, and land. n: Personally, I have never seen a flying saucer. But then I have never met the devil in person, nor have I been present when a mir- acle took place. Which does not give me the feeling that I should belabour with epithets like "crack- pot" anyone who has experienced such manifestations. As constant readers of this col- umn know, I never prevaricate nor exaggerate. As they also know, I had a bad scare one night this winter. A small, naked fellow, all green, with something mightily re- sembling a stalk of celery growing out of his navel, suddenly appear- ed in my livingroorn. After a bit- ter denuciation of our society, he vanished. I don't say he came in a flying saucer. But I was up on the roof the other day, to see why it was leaking. I found out. There was a big burn on the shingles, right through in spots. About 12 feet across, it was, and in a circle, * I'll be glad to show it to you, Mr. Tumpane. All you have to do is reapeat the password. This week it's "New fissures 'on the moon." You've got to have faith, Frank, my boy. You'll never catch a fish in your septic tank, unless you give it a try. And definitely, you'll never see a flying saucer with your head buried in the sand. 0 The city of Moose Jaw, Sask., takes its name from an Indian word that meant "Ilhe plane wh- ere here the white man mended his cart with the jaw of a moose," In the current fiscal year it is$5.8 billion; in 1939 federal spend - estimated that spending by Caned- I ing totalled $553 million, in 1949 a's federal government will total I $2,2. billion.
