The old proverb has come true
that if March comes in like a lamb
it will go out like a lion. It broke
loose after the first half of the
month, when it tied up all traffic
and many visitors of . last Sunday
were marooned or had to stay over
for a more extended visit. The teach-
ers and high school pupils were un-
able to report for duty but by all ap-
the weather man has got
back to normal and the only way to
get out was to get back to the old
reliable and even then it was not
too safe,
The many friends of Mrs. Jerry
O'Hara are sorry to hear she is not

Many of the St. Patrick's parties
had to be cancelled or had small st-
teudance as none of the country folks

HOCKEY TRENDS
Owing to protests and storms, no
Igamres have been ,played Iby the local
team during the week. So instead of
the usual hockey write-ups, we quote
an article by Jitn Burns hi his column
in the London Free Press, discussing
modern 'hockey trends:
Now that the Allan Cup contestants
are 'battling their way down the
stretch, it's just about time for those
responsible for "amateur" or Should
we say "non-professional" hockey, to
sit !hark ah,.l rdc, a ,hit of thinking on
uhi,ect tt9tich could claim the pop-
ular title of Whither Hockey?"'
And, if there are thinker; in the
house willing to listen a bit we'll risk
the danger of tieing odious and launch
a crusade on behalf of earnest hockey
Hien m'ho have taken a trimming this
past season for the simple reason that
they have Ibsen participating in the
promotion of a sport that ismighty
badly organized.
When the hookey pothers -that -be
took the lilt off amateur hockey and
declared that players could sell their
services to the highest 'bidder, they
were, like the Boy Scouts, doing their
good deed for the day , net's
admit that . . . it was a relief to
get away from all bhe sham that had
surrounded so-called amateur hockey
for years . . , but !having taken
the lid off the czars didn't 'take into
consideration that the escaping play-
ers would get beyond their control.
The crying need of 'hockey is a
salary limit for each 'and every classi-
fication . , , why shound the -city
.with the .greatest amount of money
arailathle for the sport reap the har-
vest? . . . why should the Allen
'Cup, the symbol of the amateur hock-
ey championship of Canada, be for
sale? . . . let's draw a compari-
son to illustrate the (point, take a
look of ,baseball . . . the amateur
same has not yet reached the status
ss'here championships are ;bought , ,
hut there's every chance that it will
because amateur baseball players can
sell their services joist the same as
their brethren in hockey . . . so the
only logical place to look for :guid-
ance is ,professional baseball . .
where would the hundreds of minor
leagues wind tip if teams slid not have
to keep within a salary 'limit . ,
every one of them wound 'fait , ,
that's why the professional sport is
governed . . isn't it within reason to
suggest that hookey in Canada could
better itself by adopting the salary
'limit idea
Adoption of such a (policy wnu'ld
put the game back on an athletic
competitive basis again . , , it's far
'froin that now. The sponsor ,who
can command the anost anoney gets
the 'better players. He buys the
championship . . and those who
have tried to 'hoick him go down in
the red—way down in the red :
it. won't 'he long !before the peculiar
type of hockey (lover who returns
year in and year out to :hack teams
will .he extinct. There are fete
centres with sufficient loose money to
keep up the (pace , . the mainspring
of the game (.the fellow who pays and
pays and 'pays) is about ready to run
down. The hockey powers decided
to make' the players honest Iby taking
the lid off . . . not, it's time for
them to !be honest with themselves.

THIS MACHINE CREATES SPEECH!
The recent Canadian tour of
"Pedro the Voder", the machine
that creates speech, has drawn
attention to this eerie yet won-
derful invention which entertain-
ed 20,000,000 visitors at the New
York and San Francisco World's
Fairs in 1940 and 1939. On his
firstvisitto Canada, "Pedro"
accompanied by Dr, J. 0. Perrin,
of Bell Telephone Laboratories —
was demonstrated before large
audiences in Montreal, Toronto,
and Hamilton.
The name "Pedro" is taken
from an incident in the early his-
tory of the telephone, Alexander
Graham Bell demonstrated his in-
vention for the first time at the
Philadelphia Centennial Exhibi-
tion of 1576. One of his visitors
was Dom Pedro de Alcantara,
Emperor of Brazil. The Emperor
was so startled at hearing a voice
coming over a wire, that he drop-
ped the receiver with a crash and
exclaimed, "My God, it talks!"
So, when Bell telephone en-
gineers recently constructed a
machine that actually does talk,
they called it "Pedro", in honour
of the Emperor. "Voder" stands
for "Voice Operation Demonstra-
tor", because Pedro shows, by
electrical means, the way the
human voice is produced. Pedro is
not a phonograph. He builds
speech just as you do when you
talk or sing,
When you speak, you call into
play two entirely separate sounds
one produced by the vocal
chords, and another by the breath
alone. Instead of vocal chords,
Pedro has an electric oscillator
generating a "buzz" rich in over-
tones. For breath he employs an-
other' circuit which makes a "hiss"
in the loudspeaker. The buzz is
the basis of the voiced consonants
such as "m", "1", and "r", and
vowels. The hiss is the basis of
the sibilant consonants such as
"s", "th", and "1", and whispers.
To shape these fundamental
sounds into speech, you make use
of your palate, tongue, teeth, and
lips. For the same purpose, Pedro
has electric filters each controlled
by a key, which divide either the
"buzz" or the "hiss" into ten
parts. Thus, there are 20 elemen-
tal sounds to be built up into
speech. In addition, there are spe-
cial keys for forming the "stop"
consonants such as "t" and "b",
a pitch pedal to enable the Voder
to copy the inflections of the
human voice, and a special switch
for the "vibrato", a fluctuation
both in pitch and loudness which
is used to make Pedro sing.
By means of this keyboard, the
operator can produce the 50 dif-
ferent sounds in the English lan-
guage, combine them with the
proper inflection, and vary their
pitch and loudness for singing.
Some sounds require the use of
as many as five different keys at
a time. To make Pedro say con-
centration", the operator must
form 13 different sounds in suc-
cession, make five movements of
the wrist bar, and vary the posi-
tion of the pedal from three to
five times, according to the ex-
pression she wishes to give the
word, All this must be done just
as quickly as it takes you to say
"concentration".
Pedro is just one of many de-
vices constructed -by telephone en-
gineers to study the fundamen-
tals of sound and speech — all
with a view to constant improve-
ment of your telephone service.
