K. A. Little of Toronto, man- ager of the Canadian branch of the Watch Tower Society, said the nations are on the march to Armageddon - a war Involving Jesus Christ and his heavenly ,forces against Satan and his tot- " lowers. ,• This much can be unerringly said according to the Bible's timetable and according to world events 'in fulfillment' of Bible prophecy," he said. The gathering also heard and saw lectures and Biblical dramas acted , out in colorful et/Studies to illustrate the need to live by Bible ptinciples. The dramas,, acted out by Wit- ness act/Ws and actresses, high- lighted the dangers inVolved in drug abuse and promiscuity and how persons can protect them- selves from these current social problems. Although the large- audience was, made up of persons from a wide -variety of,racial and ethnic backgrounds, the convention was unmarreti by demonstrations, fights or divisions, spokesmen said.

Baker, Public Relations Officer, Branch 156 I ARE The days of the Legion as • we know it now are numbered. It • is a certain fact that ,unless we are unfortunate enough to be in- volved, in another war 'there will be no veterans around in, fifty' years time. The. Royal Canad- ian Legion is basically a Veter- ans' organization'"and unless Membership is opened to others • it will surely cease to be. we have fewer veterans from World War I each year, but their dedi- cation continues to be an inspir- ation for they are the founders of this great organization. There are some like Magnus McIntyre Hood whose story goes like the following, an excerpt from "The People's Journal, June 12, 1971, Angus & Perthshire": "The old soldier in the Peebles hotel excused himself after breakfast to go up to his room for a hankie. But he was gone for more than 20 minutes. • A fellow,guest went to the bedroom to check. He found the Veteran bent over the bed trying to fix his medals to his jacket. His arthritic fingers couldn't cope, but painfully he persisted. This was British Legion Golden Jubilee Week-End at Peebles and the old sweat was aghast at the • prospect of going out ''improp- erly dressed." These medals represented an experience that was more than half a century ago. Only now is the world emerging from the bloody, waste- ful, mud-stained, murderous flo conflict that it was. Yet most of the nostalgia among' the 500 Legionaires from all over Scot- land came from such, boys of the old' brigade. In the case of Magnus Mc- Intyre Hood, perhaps there was good reason for clinging like mad to what should have been an. ugly Memory. The first war changed his life completely. He Was' a. poor Aberdeen tailor's son who booked a 7 pounds,' 13 shillings '7 pence passage on a slow boat to Canada as an emi- grant farm-hand. SURVIVED MASSACRE • He got work in the garden of a wealthy estate developer in Toronto. And he made such a hit that his boyhood dream of becoming a minister took on reality. His boss offered to pay his way through Toronto's Knox tV Divinity College. He was at the college in 1914 when he had to put down his Bible for a gun. He was one of those who should never have come back. He sur- vived the massacre of St. Eloy where a Company 'of the 28th Comrades Cleave Coombs, Dick Whitely and George Hays attended the funeral of Rev. Jack James at Lions Head on Sunday, August' 8th. Rev. James was a former'Padre of Branch 156. PAST SOCIAL EVENTS Bingo last Friday night attracted-4A 'persons. Prizes to the value of $318.00 were won.

The Authority SWEEP CLEANS UP Students employed by SWEEP (Students working in an Environmental Enhancement Program) have been busy this summer in the Sdaforth area. They began by clea'ning up the river flats west of the Egmondville bridge and currently are cleaning up dead trees along Silver Creek in Seaforth. above, the boys work in Egmondville cutting tall grass along the river., Joe Lobb of Clinton drives the tractor and mower donated by Boyce Farm Supply while Charles Miner and Ken Lee of Exeter, remove a bag from the path of the tractor.

Project SWEEP is a provincial program sponsored by the Department of Energy and Res5urces Management and directed by the Conservation Au- thorities in ontario.The acronym stands for "Students Working in an Environmental Enhancement Program", which means cleaning up litter, solid wastes, dead elms and other unsightly problems in the surroundings. The SWEEP program in the Ausable River Conservation Au- thority includes twenty-six stud- ents hired from throughout the Ausable and Hayfield River areas who are supervised by John Roder under the direction of the executive Of the Authority. The students are split into two crews, , one working in the north and the other in the south. The northern crew consists of John Aiken,, Bill •Hollenbeck, Ron Ir- win, Joe Lobb and Robert-Mc- Mahon, all of Clinton; Mike Fore- • man, Ken Lee, Charles Miner and Stan Rawlings of Exeter, Louis and Mark Hartman of Bayfield and Larry McGregor of Brucefield. Foreman for the north crew is Bruce Smith of Parkhill. . The South Crew consists of Jim Brandon, Mark Clemens, Russ Fuller, Mary Lou Hopper, Jim Marsh and Paul Wellington, all of Forest: Others include Jane Backx, Grand Bend, Mike Battrom, Parkhill, Dave Britton, Arkona, Dorothy Cole, Kettle Point and Lois McLean, Thed- ford. The foreman is Paul Veitch of Parkhill and John Roder 'of Arkona is the senior supervirr. The South Crew have ben working in the Rock Glen Con- servation area clearing thorn trees, felling and splitting dead elms and cleaning up litter. They have also been engaged In clean- ing up the beaches along Lake Huron from Kettle point to Grand Bend. The North Crew have cleaned, up the Hayfield beach area and River from the mouth to just east of Varna.. The team is 'led by Tom Prout of Exeter who is a student at the University of Waterloo.

A study of the flora and fauna of the area has 'revealed 70• species of birds, 16 kinds of fish, 19 varieties of animals and over 130 type.4 of vegetation in the River area. The survey, in its second year, is sponsored by the De- partment of Energy and Resour- ces Management in cooperation with the Conservation Author- ities. Roger Martin is co-ordinat- ing . the Hayfield River survey for the Ausable Authority. Mr. Prout, leader of the sur- vey said that the object of the programme is to study the po- tential of the river as well as to introduce the students to con- servation techniques, The group is planning meeting with area farmers to- night, August 5 at 9 P.M. in the Varna Hall. *e.mraleweva,eva.a: ameeemeesiVm- July cut several hundred small dead trees on the Egmondville Bridge region of the Hayfield River, south of Seaforth. They are now involved in clearing dea d elms from the banks of Silver Creek In Seaforth. When this task is completed the crew will clear area roads in the region of litter and unofficial roadside dumps. In connection with this pro- ject citizens are asked to con- tact the Authority office at (519) 828-3688 or write to Ausable River Conseryation Authority, Box 81, Arkona, On- tario if they know of a littered roadside or other area in the authority's jurisdiction. There have been many pri- vate contributers to project SWEEP. The Ford Motor Com- pany supplied trucks to the• pro- gram for $1.00 each. Two of these are in use in the Ausable area. Local businessmen have also contributed. . Boyce Farm E qu ipment of R.R. 3, Seaforth provided a tractor and mower to help in the cleanup of the river flats at Egmondville for example. Without such contributions pro- ject SWEEP would accomplish much less than it is doing, of- ficial's said. The other project on the Bayfield River involves eight area high school students working as , junior conservationists. in a the con strong-tea- yek—OTTIfe Hayfield— corn breathe. land use Sur deny of metal containers to Table 1 Fluctuations of the gases in void' spaces of steel and con- crete silo during the month of Ed.

Type of silo - Steel -' Average amount of leakage Liters per hour and m3 - 9.5 - Leak size mm2/m3 of silo - 0.207; Type of silo - Concrete - Average amount of leakage Liters per hour and m3 - 17.1 - Leak size mm2/m3 of silo - 0,373. The Information obtained A.G.Melering University of Guelph Since silo containers are not absolutely gas tight, they can ex- change gases with the surround- ing atmosphere when, a pressure difference between the interior of the container and its environment exists. Such differences develop constantly because the microbial gas production in the silage gen- erates differing gas concentrat- ions and the climatic factors generate differing total gas pres- 'sures in the two spaces. Wind and barometric conditions of the atmosphere create pressure changes in the environment of the silos. Fluctuations In the air temperature and the inten- sity of solar radiation, as well as the evaporation of precipitated moisture from the silo surface cause temperature changes and, consequently, pressure changes of the gases enclosed in the void spaces of the silos, The result of all the weather factors, pre- dominantly the thermal factors, is a constant alternation in the direction of the Pressure drop across the silo walls. This leads to silo "breathing". Am- plitude and frequency of the alternations together with the permeability of the silo' walls largely determine the extent of the gas exchange of silos. The gas exchange as caused by weather factors can be cal- culated In a computer simulation if the silo volume and its degree of filling, the temperature history Uni.ver-slky.of Guelph.- of the silo gases, the permea- bility of the silo walls and the gas production of the' silage as caused by the intake of oxygen are known. Simulations of silo breathing were performed for European weather conditions at the University of Giessen, West Germany. Although there is difference in climate,'the results still allow conclusions about silo performance in Canada. • The temperatures of the silo gases in a concrete container with rigid ceiling and valve, and a steel container with a pressure exchange system were measured over extended periods of time in 1966 and 1967. As can be seen from Table 1, there occurreli several temperature fluctuations per day in the metal container. This was due to its dark color and the high thermal conductiv- ity of its :walls. About 90% of the fluctuations in the temper- ature of the surrounding air were transmitted to the silo gases and amplified by a factor of 2.9 at the same time. The maximal change was , approximately 25 degrees C. In comparison, there was only one temperature fluc- tuation with a maximum during: the daytima and a mininrunt during the night in the concrete silo. Temperature changes of more than 15 degrees C did not occur in this container. The data given in Table I indicate Guaranteed - Investment Certificates now! from the leakage -tests and the temperature data was Used to Simulate the gas exchange of both containers during the month of July. For .mathematical rea- sons, it was assumed that the oxygen entering the silos with the air would be used by aerobic bacteria to produce the equival- ent amount of carbon dioxide and would not ,affect the stability of the grass silage. Table 3 shows that the simulated oxygen intakes do not differ significantly if both silos are filled to 35% of their capacity. The better heat insul- ation of the concrete silo walls offsets the effects of the pressure exchange system in the steel silo. With increased degree of filling, the oxygen intake decreases sharply and the steel container shows an advantage over the concrete silo. Table 3 Simulated oxygen intake of concrete and steel silos. The results of the simulation show that silos should be filled quickly to their capacity in order to avoid an excessive oxygen in- take. , If concrete silo's with, a gas-tight ceiling had a breather bag like some steel containers have, they would be superior to metal silos not only in cost but also technically. Coating con- crete walls against leakage and heat transfer can extend this advantage.

In hospital he wrote letters about the war to frietids in Canada. And they turned out to be so intriguing that some of them were sent on to a news- paper in Kingston. While still in an army casualty centre he found himself appointed to the newspaper staff. From his hospital bed he wrote its leader articles. And instead of going back to the ministry he started civvy life again as a reporter. For 30 years McIntyre Hood was editor of the Oshawa "Daily Times". He was its foreign correspondent in London for six years. When he retired from his editorship he was a member of 19 different organizations in Oshawa and each wanted to throw him a retiral party. In its centennial , year, Oshawa made him its citizen of the year. ACTIVE RETIREMENT He is now 77 and has retired• with his wife to Edinburgh. But, far from fading away, this old soldier is more active than ever. He was Results Officer at the Commonwealth Games and has just completed the official history of the games, price 3 pounds a copy. He now edits the British Legion journal, ',Claymore "and it was he who organized the nostalgic week' en at Peebles. Yet his enthusiasm for 50 years ago had nothing to do with the way a world war had made him a personal success. "In the trenches we shared 'a kind of comradeship that was unique," he - said. "Vt,e stood in blood and slime. we saw our mates killed. We were involved in a kind of friendship that ' comes from sharing an unforgettable experience. Our sense of togetherness was cemented in blood, sweat and tears." 11 11414444•11
