the grime with jets of water. The high pressure jet breaks
up into a non-conducting spray enabling crews to carry
out insulator washing in safety without shutting off the
power. Other types of air pollution take over from the
salt in the spring making washing a year round job.-

ond storey wards the first or

ing about 62'o complete.

of rho various hospital depart-
:meets and had suggested a
combined committee' which

will be to relate the story of
the hospital and its services to
the public. It is also hoped to
arrange for a speaker who could
address service clubs and other
interested groups.
Board Chairman R. B. Cous-
ins reported on a meeting of
the executive committee held
on Thursday. The boiler

public school authorities in
Lucknow and Kinloss favor the
idea, but the proposal is meet-
ing with a cool reception in the
Ashfield-West Wawanosh school
area,
The problems of settling the
question in the Lucknow area
will unquestionably hold up
building plans at the Wingham
school. The local high school
board was just about ready to
have its architects draw up
working plans for department
approval when the Lucknow situ-
ation arose. If amalgamation
between the two secondary
areas takes place it will mean
that accommodation for about
200 Lucknow students willhave
to be provided.

For New Training Quarters
On Monday evening a meet-
ing was called in the Lucknow
District High School by the
board of that institution, to ac-
quaint municipal representa-
tives of the area with proposed
plans to amalgamate the Luck-
now school district with that of
Wingham. Some 75 people in-
volved in the problem attended
the gathering, which was under
the chairmanship of William
Hunter, chairman of the Luck-
now District High School Board.
According to reports it was
a long meeting with consider-
able discussion. The meeting
was also attended by public
school inspectors, James Kin-
kead of Huron County and Keith
Waldie of Bruce County, and
secondary school inspector,
Donald Scott of London.
The only immediate result
of the meeting was an agree-
ment by all councils that they
will hold meetings with their
elementary school representa-
tives and report back at a furth-
er meeting in two weeks.
With agreement reached be-
tween the Wingham and Luck-
now high school districts, the
plan now sits in the position
that the elementary school sec-
tions in the Lucknow district
will be asked to approve the
idea of using; the Lucknow high.
