Lionel Chevrier, KC:, (right of inset), shown as he inspects the retarder controls for the yard with N. R. Crump (left), vice-president, Canadian Pacific Railway, and J. 0. Asselin (centre), president, executive council, City of Montreal. The main view shows the classification yard from the crest of the hump depicting cars in motion down the hump and showing the car retarders in the fore- ground. Moving down the hump under the force of gravity, the cars are electrically switched and braked, coming to a stop in their pre -determined position in the classification yard. The Canadian Pacific was the first road in North America to adopt the automatic switching principle. The yard also boasts such modern railroading innovations as an undertrack inspection pit to enable all rolling stock passing through the yard to be examined for defects; an automatic track weighing scale that weighs cars in three -and -a -half seconds while they are in motion down the hump; a 37 -stall engine - house equipped with direct steaming apparatus to eliminate smoke; and 100 -foot towers mounted with floodlights and placed at strategic points for night operations. In all, over 75 miles of track capable of holding 4,869 cars were required for the terminal, which actually is a series of three operational yards with other auxiliary yards and which measures over three -and -a -half miles in length and over a square mile in area.

To the Editor Ottawa, July 10, 1950. The Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: Please accept our very sincere thanks for what you were able 'o do to assist in publicizing our fourth annual Air Force Day. Air Force Day this year was a suc- cess right across Canada and more people than ever before carne out to Service units to have a look at their Air Force at close quarters. I hope that you will overlook our delay in thanking you. It has tak- en some time for tear sheets and clippings to reach us from our units in the field, and things piled up on us generally around Air Force Day. I wish you to know, however, that we are extremely, grateful for your assistance which aided to make Air Force Day a success. Yours very truly, R. V.

I quote: "As mechanical power is substituted for draft animals, the land formerly used for horse and mule feed become available for producing commodities for human use. The shift to mechanical pow- er in the United States fields from 1920 to 1945 made available about 55,000,000 crop acres, or about 15 per cent of the available crop land, for the production of marketable commodities. In World War I this large area of crop land, plus mil- lions of acres of pasture, had to be used for (producing horse and mule feed." -(From "Changes in arming in Ware and Peace," U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D.C.). Toronto, July 11, 1950. The Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: I was very interested in that guest editorial in the cur- rent issue, "The Disappearing Horse," in which your 'Fergus con- temporary say some keen things. I choose a pair of them: (1) "The farmer with money enough has a nice car, a small truck, and one or two tractors. That leaves no room for a team of horses," and (2) "But tractors probably lower production costs and they certainly make life easier on the farm. Tractors don't have to be fed when they are not working." -(New -Record) . It seems worth recalling the fact that, according to a recent official estimate, dealing with the United States farm scene, there were 25,- 000,000 horses and mules on U.S. farms in 1910, and approximately 50,000 tractors; to be compared with just 3,000,000 tractors and a mere 10,000,000 horses and mules in 1950. And, too, there is this interest- ing related fact, stemming from the above revolutionary change down on the farm, and which not only increased U.S. food tonnage Batting Average AB R H Smith 50 19 26 Messenger 5 1 2 Knight 11 2 4 Cameron 54 14 19 Beattie 3 0 1 Re nie 23 5 7 Iliffilford 38 16 11 O'Shea 53 9 15 Stewart 11 3 3 Woodcock 26 7 7 Krieger 53 14 12 Proctor 26 7 8 Henderson 32 5 6 Eisler 46 10 8 Wade 24 1 2 Heighington '2 1 0 Horton 1 0 0 Sills 0 0 0 458 114 St. Columban 2, Walton 0 Playing before a large crowd of interested fans, St. Columban rwamped Walton 2-0 Tuesday eve- ning at St. Columban in the most exciting football game of the sea- son.
