THE LARGEST BOILER in several years to be made by Robert Bell Industries Ltd. just barely squeezed out of the boiler shop Friday morning. The operation took three hours to complete. The I8 -ton boiler will wind up in Ste. Therese, Quebec, near Montreal. Here, the• boiler 4s shown against background of neighboring Topnotch Feeds Ltd. elevators. RBIL Boiler Problem As Doors two SmciII One of the largest boilers built by Robert Bell Industries Limited in several years moved out of the boiler shop with a screech and a hiss Friday morning. The screech was the sound of the boiler scraping against the top of the door in the north- west corner of the shop. The hiss was the sound of air being- released eingreleased from the Wright &; Leyburn transport tires to ala lout the boiler to at least serape through the door. A look at the statistics of the objects involved in this tricky manoeuvre reveals the problems which resulted even to the least astute student of mathematics. The boiler measures 132 inch- es high. The floor of the truck trailer was supposed to be 51 inches from the ground. It turned out to be About 55 inch - ea. All those inches add up to 187 inches.

More than fifty thousand Lions and ladies are expected to attend. Tuckersmith Advances Plan To Move Road The proposed road diversion on lot 15, concessions 2 and 3, HRS, moved a step closer to reality as the Tuckersnuth Township Council laid down specifications for tenders"at its August meeting Tuesday night. A letter from the Ontario De- partment, of Highways to the clerk suggested the new road should be realigned 600 feet south of the present road.' This would necessitate the re- routing of the Bayfield River to run south of the proposed new road. The DHO reports that the land involved is sand loam to silt loam and is well drained, but it could be difficult to work with if it is wet. The letter stated special pre- cautions would have to be tak- en for the new river bed.' It said no 'particular problems could be envisioned in laying the road bed, but added consid- erable erosion could result on the river banks, and so the south fill slope must be protect- ed. Two suggestions were submit- ted to councils on halting the possible erosion. First, the banks could be built. up. with stone or blocks of concrete. Council .felt the cost of this method would be prohibitive. The second suggestion dealt with sloping the banks at three or four to one, and cover the slope with vegetation (probably grass). Reeve Thompson felt this latter suggestion would be more in line with township fi- nances.

A Stanley Township • barn belonging to George Cantelon was razed byfire, also thought to have been caused by lightning. Fire brigades at both fires could do nothing to squelch the blazes which were well underway by the time they arrived.

(Continued on Page 4) gay streamers, booths erected SDHS Student Tops In Grade 13 Exams Grade 13 results released last week show Gisela Dorrance at the tA. p of the SDHS grade 13 class this year, with an average of 85.8 on eight papers, includ- ing the two English papers. ' Of the ten papers written by Miss Dorrance, all received first class honors, andonly one was below 80. That one was Eng- lish Iiterature, with a mark of 77. As an Ontario Scholar (one who receives 80 per cent in eight grade 13 papers, includ- ing English Composition and Literature), Miss Dorrance auto- matically receives $00. Such an achievement requir- ed four hours a night of study- ing - and homework. Gisela ad- mits it was a little too much. "But," she adds, ',I want to go to university on my own. I don't want to have to depend on my parents." Gisela's method of study con- sists of working' in stretches of about two hours. To clear her mind when she stalls, she eats or goes for a ride on her horse if things get really bad. She wouldn't recommend her method to anyone else, because, she says, everyone learns by a different method. A 90 per cent student all through high school, Gisela thinks studying has become a habit with her. Other Activities What happens if something un- expected comes up and she must forego her regular four hours of study? "If you work four hours a night you can af- ford to do it," she states. Gisela doesn't spend all her time studying. This last ye.t; she wrote the weekly high school column for The Exposi- tor, assisted with the Chatter- box, and was vice-president of the Students' Council. Her futipre plans include tak- ing .Frenc'h and Latin at Wa- terloo University and then pre- ceeding to the Ontario College of Education in Toronto to oh• tain her teaching certificate, Although an obvious success in grade 13, Gisela maintains the system is "very vicious". She claims students pass who shouldn't pass, and students fail who should pass. With a note of practicality she adds, it is advantageous from the standpoint of uni- formity. In all, Gisela has 12 grade 13 papers. Last year while in Smile of the Week The conductor was perplexed. "Who on earth," he sputtered, "would want to steal a Pullman ladder'?" Just then the curtains parted and a little old lady poked her head through cautiously. "Por- ter," she Whispered, "you may use mind if you like. I won't need it until morning." Upper School algebra and 74 grade 12 she received 84 in GISELA DORRANCE in history. She did not attend a history class,, but boned up on the subject a week before the exam on the advice of SDHS principal L. P. Plumsteel. The record for grade 13 stu dents this year shows 86 per cent of those who tried exams passed, That is six per cent above the provincial average, One 'other SDHS student at- tained first class honors. Lois Scott placed second in the graduating class with an aver- age of 75.8 per cent on nine papers.

In Hibbert, lightning struck the barn of Arnold Westlake, of RR 1, Cromarty, causing .a loss estimated in excess' " of $20,000.. Mrs. Westlake first noticed the fire at 3:30 aan, Wednesday. The barn was com- pletely razed. Destroyed were the. season's crop, a wagon, beet cooker, milking machine, separator and other machinery. Mr. Westlake and neighbor Alvin Cole went into the back of the burning barn, to save three calves, one yearling calf and 16 pigs. Mitchell and Hensall fire bri- gades answered the call, but could do .nothing to stem the blaze. Seaforth was also call- ed, but did not go because the fire was out of the brigade's area. Stanley Barn Burns Lightning is also believed to. have caused the fire which de— stroyed the barn of George Cantelon, of lot 28, don. 2, Stanley' Township. When the fire was' first no- ticed by the Cantelons be- tween 3:30. and 4 a.m., the whole barn was engulfed in flames. Mr. Cantelon could not get near it to save anything. A whole season's crop of hay, two mows and 580 bales, were burned up. Along with the hay, 97 pigs, two tractors, a corn harvester, a hammer mill, a beet cooker and a bin- , der were all destroyed by the fire. The fire had advanced to such brigade could not make any a degree that Brucefield fire bri- gade could not make any .head- way beadway in containing the. :blaze which was well underway ' be- fore it was noticed; Cautelnn estimates, _ he would need more than $20,000, to cover the loss. He said he is "fairly well covered" by in- surance. -, Will Help Crops Generally the inch of drain dumped on the area was wel- comed by the farmers, as beans are expected to come along well now, as will other row crops. There was relatively little crop damage, as the accompanying wind was light. Pastures will green up con- siderably, and milking • cows will benefit. Grain crops will take a little longer to harvest. As daylight broke, a slight haze giving a lush look to the countryside, hung over the area. It gave no indication of the violence which had preceded it. Lightning forked through the sky, lighting the area for miles around, and the thunder crack- led and rumbled as rain fell in steady streams during the two or three bursts during the night.
