Mas. (De.) G L. BALL )'Asses AWAY -
The news of the demise of the. late
Mrs.G. L. Ball, in 'Toronto, last
Saturday, came as a very sad story to
her numerous old friends iu Brussels
and locality, is the report les current
here that elle was somewhat improved.
Interment was made in tbe family, plot
io Wingbam cemetery on Monday.'
Deceased, whose maiden name was Miss
Ida Emily Sberriff, spent her early years
in Brussels where she was united to her
now bereft partner. After residing here
for a number of years Dr, and Mrs, Ball
moved to Seafortb end 35 years ago tr-
eated in Toronto, 3 sons and a daughter
were born to the home but the only sur-
vivor is Dr. Earl Ball. 6 years ago
Beverly, who had served in the Navy
during the world war died just after the
Armistice was signed. Mrs. Ball was a
harpy faced, kindly turned person, who
enjoyed the friendobip of a wide circle.
She was ever ready to do a good turn or
aid a worthy cause. For years in
Brussels sbe rendered fine service as or-
ganist in the Methodist choir and taught
in the Sunday School, Mrs, Bali oc-
casionally renewed acquaintances in
Brussels. She had not enjoyed robust
health for years. Her demise will be
deeply regretted by many who will be
a unit in sympathy to the bereaved hus-
band and son. Deceased lady was a
sister-in-law to Mrs. Chas, Sheriff, Brus-
sels, who was with .her luring her clos-
ing hours. Mr. Sheriff, father of Mrs.
Ball, was a mill owner in Brussels years
ago and died here, _-
SCHOOL CLASSEi F41i ALIEN BJRN —
London Free Press of Nov, 5th, speaks
as follows of a former Brussels teacher :
—Loedou has created a "melting pot"
for the . assimilation of coo-Euglish-
speaking people foreigners who come
here. 34 aliens, representing 5 different
nationalities, are enrolled in a class for
new Canadians at the London Technical
High School and are receiving instruc-
ton, not only in Eoglish, boa in Canad-
ian customs and institutions. So p. p-
ular bas the course heeme that it will be
necessary in a few days to start a second
evening class for the numerous appli-
cants. By the end of the year it is ex-
pected that fully 5o men will be learn•
ing how to speak English and how to
become true Canadians, at the evening
classes which are being conducted for
one hour and a half twice a week. B.
S. Scott. a talented linguist, is the cap-
eble instructor of the class. He can
converse in 4 languages and has a smat-
tering of other tongues sufficient for in. ,
struction purposes, Under his tuition I
are swarthy sons of Italy, former real-
idents of distaot Greece. emigrants from.
the tioy country of Denmark, together
with Roumanians and Armenians. The
class is nota charity affair, although its
nines might justify it in being so, but
tbe men pay their own way cheerfully.
Furthermore, they get the maximum
benefit out of the course and ere among
the keenest students at the Technical
Tbey are anxious to speak Eoglish and
it is expected that they wilt make rapid
progress during coming weeks. The
fee is $2 5o for the course. All the
new Canadians are developed along the
lines of good Canadian citizenship. Sel-
ections of a patriotic nature are given t0

Watchmen Who Never Sleep
Top left—Shows how they lrunrd the approach to the
Kelsey Horne Paaot right, the prentago through the foes
mese, and the Palliser Tunnel (below).
Comparatively few of the thousands of miles of railroad
in Canada are electrified, but there is no railway
organization'whjch does not rely to a greater or lesser
extent on electricity as an aid to efficient operation and
service. ]Electricity plays an important part in all of the
great Railroad Shops through the country. Some trains
and cars are operated by power directly transmitted or
gtored in batteries. Bridges are operated, and a thousand
and one electrical devices are ,in constant use which
beside beteg labor saving do away with the human ele-
ment which might make for inefficiency. Numbered
among these are the automatic Block Signals which one
finds distributed along the line of the Canadian Pacific,
and notices particularly in the Rocky Mountain passes
whore they are more urgently required.
To the average layman an atitonlatie signal is just a
signal, and the general publiut'ia only interested itt it
because it gives added protection, or rather eliminates
possible danger from the portion of track which it govern,
6 the railroad official It Is more. It acts as watchtnan
a Ainet broken rails, open switches) a fouled track or any
lY oh
fps.;•v
other obstruction. Through a circuit in the rail this is •
accomplished, and if the circuit be broken, for the reason
that another'trainis occupying the block, or that there is
an open switch, a broken rail, washout Or other obstruc-
tion, then the train approaching the signal may not pass.
And while it awaits a through signal, trains following It
the rear may, not approach for the reason that they ere
also stopped by art automatic signal 'Whlch will 'not
release them until the preceding train has passed from
that section of the 'tracer which they desire to enter.
A perfect system. No electrical circuit no through
signal — no train may pass.
The value of this, system in the Rockies can hardly
be over-estimated. Not only is labor saved, but the
company is able to ensure absolute protection,
