HARD WAY eco yes a Relic One by one the time -taking, tiring and tiresome hand labor chores of the farm have been eliminated by a machine that does the work easier, quicker and more profitably. The milking stool for instance has long been a symbol of the hardway to do a job. But more and more dairymen are spending less time on milking stools now. Shortage of help and pressure of work have empha- sized the value of using machines instead of muscles wherever possible, and dairymen have found the answer in the mechanical milking machine: Because the purchase of a milking machine saved them hours of time and labor, thousands of dairymen have been able to carry on and benefit from the great demand for dairy products in recent years."Hand milking" is out for them now that they have experienced the comfort and convenience of a mechanical milker. " In the progress that Canadian agriculture has made in improved ' methods and practices, equipment engineered and manufactured by Massey -Harris has played an im- portant part. Among the time and labor saving machines your local Massey -Harris dealer has to offer is the Rite Way Milker.

Cleary's groeeiv in the McOloy block on Main street, caused a lot of excitement about 10 o'clock Friday morning. The very prompt response of the fire brigade brought the fine ander control before it could spread. The living room of the apartment was badly burned and some furniture was destroyed. There was ,some water damage in Mr. Cleary's store and. W. G. 'Gill'•s poolroom. Arrangements have been made for the repair of the building.

LOCOMOTIVES IN ART The tempo of wartime activity - in a great railway shop and ocean' liners sailing . peacefully over calm waters present an in- teresting study in contrasts at an exhibit of oil paintings by Adrien Hebert,R.C.A., now on display in tine 'Osborne street 'entrance show cases of the Canadian Pa- ' cifie Railway's Windsor station at Montreal: These' subjects, rarely associat- ed with the bealm of Fart, have been given effective and interest- ing treatment' by Mr. Hebert. One of, the more vital operations of the shop men; in wartime -the overhauling 'o hard-working loco motives --has been forcefully portrayed in two of the paintings, one of 'which is shown in the ac- companying illustration while the shops' flaming forges with their attending blacksmiths hard at work, inspired the theme of two others. Other features of the exhibit include colorful portrayals of Canadian pacific liners shown peacefully at anchor in Montreal Harbor or sailing sufficiently close to port to show an effective background of smaller ships or landscape. Born in Paris, of Canadian parentage, Mr. Hebert began his career at an early age. A fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Manufactures of London, he has exhibited at the Spring Exhibi- tion in Montreal and at the Royal Canadian Academy, having been elected an academician in 1941. One of his pictures was ac- quired , by the Havre Museum, and another by the Muscle de Nimes, during a Paris exhibition of his works.
