MESSENGER BOYS DO
MANY ODD JOBS
Tending house when Mister and
Misses accept; a belated bridge invi
tation on Jane’s night out is but one
of .the multitude of assignments cov
ered by the Messenger Errand and
’Distribution Services, of the Canad
ian National Telegraphs, during the
more than two year period which has
elapsed since the functions of the fa
miliar messenger boy were extended
far beyond their original detail of col
lecting and delivering telegrams.
It is not unusual to receive a re
quest for a boy to take care of the
children, while other calls for help
range from a demand to send a handy
boy to open oysters to an equally un
usual one from young ladies in down
town offices who require replenish
ment of silk stockings and cannot
make the shop closing, deadline. .
Since the establishment of this ser
vice iby the Canadian National Tele
graphs in 1933, records maintained at
offices throughout Canada reveal the
variety of services rendered, and a
selection from the registers of Donald
Ross, Manager, at Montreal, and those
of P. E. Shantz, General Supervisor,
Messenger Errand and Distribution
Services, Toronto, show that John Cit
izen and Mrs. Citizen are apt ito think
of odd things requiring attention dur
ing the off’ hours.
A recent request in Montreal came
from a woman traveller who finding
herself without occupation during a
wait between drains, telephoned from
Bonaventure Station for a boy to act
as guide during a three-hour tour of
the city. Montreal and Toronto
flees have sent out messengers to
as escorts during trips through
local Chinatown. ;
Messengers have been requisitioned
to act temporarily as office boys, and
have even moved into society by act
ing as attendants at weddings.
’ The Hamilton office has a standing

order to furnish a messenger to mind
the baby while the parents attend a
weekly dapce. During the Toronto
Exposition there were calls to collect
sitray children and restore them to
their homes.- An unusual Toronto re
quest came in the holiday season when
a lady telephoned to say that her hus
band was ill in his car parked at the
curb. A helpful messenger found the
car and drove it to the required des
tination..
An* early morning call from a West
End Toronto .house asked for a mes
senger to purchase and- deliver three
dishes of chop-suey, apparently for a
hungry card’party. Other Toronto re
quests include late night calls from
hotel bedrooms whose occupants want
sandwiches and coffee.
Something o,f a .record was estab
lished in a ’Canadian city by a young
lady whose boy friend evidently sug
gested a headache during the previous
night’s entertainment. She wanted
two Aspirin tablets sent to the young
man.
There are calls to pick up lost dogs,
to serve as attendants at Badminton
clubs, to buy cigarettes for insomnia
victims and to act as emergency
chauffeurs. A Torontonian who had
frequently been asked to send a fish
to a neighbor finally complied. He
asked the Canadian National Tele
graphs to purchase a small gold fish
complete with bowl and deliver with
the message “Here’s that fish I prom
ised you. Keep it till next year, it
might be big enough to eat.”
■ There are, of course,, numerous re
quests for rush delivery of flowers and
for lads to vocalize “sing-o-grams”
which remains a favorite birthday re
membrance, but the boys are no long
er surprised at any assignment,
matter how strange.

Move 50-Ton Water Tank
By Ingenious Method
To conveniently service newer and
more powerful locomotives it has
been found necessary, to relocate wa
ter ‘tanks in the Capreol Division of
the Canadian National Railways, and
One such movement, is regarded as a
major triumph of plan and function.
A steel water tank weighing 50 tons,
21 feet In diameter, capacity 41.600
imperial gallons, supported on 4 25-'
feet steel legs, was swung' clear of its
foundation at Ascalon by two railway
cranes operating 50 feet booms and
carried 13 miles to a new site at Kil-
rush, in the Algonquin Park District,
and set down without interruption to
traffic. The steel legs had a spread
of 17 feet 11 inChes and the structure
topped by file ball indicator mast tow
ered 69 feet above the rails. The'
strange trainload passed through 34
rock cuts, one of which afforded a
clearance of only three inches, with
out fouling the sides. The Steel gang
and the crew of the work ttaih were
congratulated on having accomplish
ed a difficult feat in a skillful manner.
