outting Equipment Floats
Aemy on lee-floe—
Opeeratioue of the annual ice harv-

or::ilig.
When twenty -add workmen
ee.regei in. J. H. Graham's ice -cutting
npetatiot15 reported for work at 8
k there was no ice -saw. no
gas /lilt' engine, no pike -poles, shov-
el- tongs or other equipment to be
seen- And above all there was no les,
During the night a stiff northeasterly
gale had broken the ioe away from
the shore line, sntashed it up and
thriven 1t out into the lake for a dis-
tance of two miles. Something lied to
be done, and done smartly. So a row -

outer breakwater and launchedin

ham, Bruce Volland, Frank Alton and
Carson Hoy. They started rowing 001'
a "speck" on the lake which looked
like a gasoline engine. The tempera-
ture was five above zero and a bitter
cold wind was blowing. Progress was
slow, as the men at points had to
break the ice with pike -poles. Half
an Inur after the departure of the
quartette Bert McDonald was told of
the expedition. He considered four
men in a rowboat tinder the existing
Conditions a bit too risky. So he
launched another boat and with. Har-
vey Johnston set out to join the oth-
ers. Finally they pulled up alongside
the block of ice holding the ice -cut-
ting equipment. They chopped it
down in size to about twenty-five feet
square, threw a line over the gaso-
line engine, frozen in the .ice, and
made for shore. It was a. tough job
rowing against the wind with a heavy
tow. They were borne off their course
and landed four miles down shore,
Later in the day a team picked up the
,equipment and two rowboats and
brought them to the harbor. The men
in the rowboats were chilled to the
marrow and took hours to thaw out.
Mr. Graham was greatly pleased and
conslclered Itinteelf fortunate to get
his egniptnent, valued at nearly $780,

Fire At M.P.P.'s Home—
Fire which broke out in the home
of C. A. Robertson, M.P.P., in Col-
t ars Inf
"—even Alexander Graham Bell could hardly
have visioned my amazing future—certainly not
on the evening of March 10th, 18'16, when the
human voice was first heard over a wire."
Four years later—April 1880—the Bell Tele-
phone Company of Canada was formed.
It was a new domain of public service but the
Company's founder, the late Charles Fleetford
Sise, was confident that a painstaking, cour-
teous service, always improving as new appa-
ratus and new methods evolved, would in time
develop into one of the major enterprises of
Canada. He saw that telephone service was
worth so much more than its cast to the user
that the future of the business csas assured.
The principle that Bell embodied in his first
crude telephone has persisted to this day. The
principles of Charles Fieecford Sise for the
conduct of a great public service are reflected
in the continuous progress of the Company he
founded.
Within these sixty rears she telephone has
broken down the barriers of space and time
and vastly promoted human understanding. In
Canada the telephone is used more than in any
other land.
The first telephone to carry
the human voice. Compared
to your modern streamlined
telephone — as code as a
buggy beside a motor car.
