Originally powered by a tour -cylinder motorcycle engine and driven by a teat' propeller. the outfit didn't have enough speed on Its first try -out. A mere powerful motor is being installed and the trio are getting set for another takeoff. The snowmobile has two large front skis about six feet apart and a tear centre ski, so that it will be free of both sleigh and motor tracks. If it will ride the drifts that have filled up these past few days, they've really got something,—Lucknow Sentinel.

"IRON MAN" Climbs Steel Coal f Seams, Remote From Human Control It is now possible to cut coal, with- out any men at hand, on a steep coal face with a gradient of 60 degrees. This remarkable advance its the technique of coal mining, has .been brought about ,by a famous engineer- ing firm in Scotland, The clue to the new use ee these "iron men", as miners in early days called the coal -cutting machines. lies in the ingenious design of the hy- draulic winch which, from its position on top of the coal face. directs the mechanical coal -cutter with extreme ease and certainty, For example, the strong wire rope connecting tate winch td the coal -cutter draws the machine up the steep face at any one of seven speeds. Safety de.rices operate at all points. The pull on the rope cannot exceed the fixed maximum. which is more than enough to haul the machine up the face during the {hardest cutting, and, should the picks or teeth of the cutter ,be blunted or the machine be jammed by timber, work conies to a Standstill. After a little experience, She haul- age operator in charge of the wi•nob on top of the, coal face can tell how the machine is cutting, the hardness of the material and the sharpness of the mechanical picks, as accurately- as if he were actually close at hand to the coal -cutter itself. ETCHINGS OF BOMBED LONDON Junior Fanners Hold Convention at Clinton Large Number Met At Clintoni On Saturday — To Plant' Woodlot 'Upward of fifty young sten from the farms' of Hut'ou county attended the Hurons Junior ,Farmers' conven- tion held on Saturday' In the agricul- tural board roost and at which J.

Mr. Porter addressed the meeting. dealing with the value of conserva- tion of moisture by reforestation. He stated that the timber areas of the province of Ontario had been de- nuded without foresight of the con- sequences. He paid a warm tribute to Air. Thomas for the active interest he has taken in the activities of the association. Mr. Thomas said, in acknowledging the remarks, "I love the work and I love nature." He, in, turn, referred to the splendid work being carried on by our agricultural representative. J. C. Shearer. Are Now Booming in South America A war -time vogue for British etch- ings has sprung up in South America.

To Build New Bridge On Bayfield Road— Telephone linemen were last week engaged in moving back poles at the site of the old, narrow and danger- ous "Gully" bridge, eight utiles south of Goclet'ich, on the Blue Water highway. This was in preparation for the constructiou•of a new concrete - arch bridge for which reinforcing steel is already on the grounds. Re- cently the Department of Highways purchased seventeen feet of land on either side of the bridge site, ex- tending for a. distance of half -a -mile along the road. The concrete bridge is to be built on a new location, and the present one used as an auxiliary during construction. Hills on either side of the bridge are to be out down and the level of the new bridge raised so as to give the motorist a clear view. The Gully bridge has long been regarded as a danger spot. Wide enough to accommodate one car only, and located between two hills that prevent a driver from see- ing the narrow bridge ot' approach- ing cars until he 1s virtually on top of them, the old bridge has been the scene of many accidents. ere kd +L GIVE YOUR FAMILY TAST1E MORE D GEST1 BREAD" Want and 'For Sale Ads, 1 week 25c TWO M1LLION Of Silk Stockings Coming Britain In 1941 Tht' women of Britain do not ex- pect to have any new silk stockings in 1941.
