WINDSOR \u2014 The Lord Arch-'Iji.'îhop of Quebec and several former parishioners and guests joined the congregation of St.George\u2019s Anglican Church to mark the 50th anniversary of the dedication of the church last October 4.Archbishop Carrington also was guest speaker at the special anniversary luncheon which followed at the Canada Taper Club.Although services had been held at Windsor Mills and Bromp-ton from as early as 1838, it was not until 1873 that the district was formally constituted as a , Mission and a clergyman in charge appointed.Until that date services had been taken first by the Rev.William King (father of the Rev.E.A.W.King, a later incumbent) from Sherbrooke and by the Rev.Henry Roe, from Richmond, assisted by the Rev.Isaac Thompson and by Albert Stevens, a student from Bishop\u2019s University.In 1873 the Rev.L.O.Armstrong was appointed in charge of the Mission and he ministered to a congregation of about 25 at Windsor and a larger congregation at Brompton

was lent by the Presbyterian con-] gregation each Sunday until the | first St.George\u2019s Church was | opened in 1876.However, during I those three years the Anglican congregation managed to collect sufficient funds, with help from Quebec and the Church Society, to build a church on property of which they had aquired the freehold \u2014 property which they still own and on which the present St.George\u2019s Church and the Parsonage stand.Few details remain of this first building.It stood between the parsonage and the present church, a simple wooden frame building, which served as a place of worship for 35 years.The parsonage was the next project undertaken, and funds for its building were partially raised in 1889, during the incum-bancy of the Rev.T.L.Ball who was also responsible for the building of Grace Church at Hardwood Hill, a settlement now no longer populous on the St.Georges de Windsor road.The parsonage was finally completed, after some struggle to find sufficient money, in 1892 when the Rev.J.C.Cox was in charge of the Mission.The total cost of the parsonage, in essentially the form it is today, was $1,658.10.The possibility of building a new church at Windsor Mills was first raised in 1904 when it was suggested at a vestry meeting that the site, then well on the outskirts of Windsor Mills, was ST.GEORGE'S ANGLICAN CHURCH too isolated.However no decision was taken in the matter.The next serious mention was at a vestry meeting in 1908 when the wardens reported that the church needed extensive repairs to the roof and Alton Rowland moved that a new site be sought and a new church built.The matter was brought to the fore again in January of the next year when it was suggested that the Hardwood Hill Church, no longer used, be moved to Windsor Mills and re-erected as a hall.A committee investigated this possibility but decided it was impracticable and that it was not even worth salvaging timber for rebuilding.This decision, reported to a vestry meeting on January 26,\t1909\tprompted James Stevens to offer the timber for a frame for a new church and a week later another meeting decided to go ahead and build a new church \u201cat a cost of not more than $3,500.\u201d From that date plans went ahead quickly and the foundation Road Constructions, Bridges, Excavations - OUR SPECIALTY - ?\tFLOATS ?\tBULLDOZERS MECHANICAL SHOVEL with complete

laid on May 24, 1909.The progress of the work must be attributed in large part to the energy and enthusiasm of the building committee and the incumbent, the Rev.J.F.B.Bel-ford.The building committee was a flexible one and during its work various members were added for the special advice and service they could render, but among the members largely responsible for the work were J.Stevens, A.Rowland, G.Crutehlow, H.M.Thorne, L.E.Wheeler and N.Knapp.It is to their credit that the whole work was completed in the one summer and on October 17, 1909 the present St.George\u2019s Church was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Quebec, the Rt.Rev.A.H.Dunn.A ceremony of consecration was conducted by the succeeding Bishop of Quebec, the Rt.Rev.L.W.Williams, on June 9, 1918.The building project was even less expensive than had originally been anticipated and the total cost was only $2,832.20.This sav-] ing was no doubt in part due to the fact that the design and architectural supervision was undertaken without charge by C.Dos Baillets, an architect employed at that time by the Canada Paper Company.It is also clear that some of the materials used and some of the incidental labour was contributed | by the members of the congrega-jtion.Of the cash, more than : SI.500 was obtained from diocesan sources and from contributors outside Windsor Mills, the rest being collected from within the parish.Since the building has been completed there have been constant improvements undertaken and additions to the furnishings made.The altar was dedicated as a memorial to Humphrey Tear, a former organist, in 1918; the east window was given in memory of the Stuart family in 1950 and the alms dish in memory of Charles Stevens, whose family had such a close connection with Continued on page 19

Paul.A.Turcotte, show a grim picture for the corporation of the Town of Windsor.The budget for last year was ¦exceeded by more than $41,000, \u2022nd the previous year by $5,000.Mayor Bolduc stated the only saving factor in the finances in the town was the $71,000 accumulated surplus over the past nine years.However, there has been no \u2022addition to the surplus since 1957 and it has all been turned over to cover the deficit for the two last years.In addition, the mayor said the council had been forced to obtain permission from the provincial government for a loan from the bank amounting to $50,000 to pay the accumulated bills and cheques presently circulating.The $50,000 dept, he added, has to be repaid by June of ANTONIO BOISVERT WINDSOR MILLS Tel.Res.: VI.5-3477 Funeral Home

help alleviate the 1959 deficit and the remainder will be used to pay bills until the I960 taxes are received.Coupled with this, the Mayor said, the tax rates, homologated in the evaluation roll for I960, are increased almost 35% to a total of 85% of the real value.This is expected to raise the evaluation roll total to nearly $15.000.000 from the 1959 figure of $9,800,000.The tax rates, he said stand at 13 mills for the town and 10 mills for farm lands within the corporation.\u201cThe fact is,\u2019\u2019 he said, \u201cI am not optimistic about the further increase in population of Windsor, nor do I believe there will be an immediate noticeable increase in building because of these necessary increases in taxes on properties.\u201d Rental tax will also be rising to eight percent for residents in Windsor.This figure represents the maximum levy which may be brought by the town.Another complication for Windsor is a $270,000 paving by law presently before the council.Mayor Bolduc pointed out that this total is almost certain to rise to $300,000 with a necessary issue of debentures and addition unavoidable expenses.Treasurer P.A.Turcotte reported a slight increase of 232 in population during the past year, bringing the total to 6,352.As for buildings, he stated some 25 units had been built an average of $10.000.No schools had been built during the year, but work is expected to begin sometime this spring on a residence for the Sacred Heart Brothers who teach at the Sacred Heart School- Their old residence is to be torn down and an additional school building erected.Costs have not yet been made available J.E.Lemieux Ltee \u2022\tMILLWORK BUILDING SUPPLIES SPECIALTY: HARDWOOD FLOORING m Telephone VI.5-2739\t\u2014 WINDSOR MILLS for the project.An addition

out that the corporation presently goes under the proper name of Windsor.For some time, he said, people have been under the impression that the name is Windsor Mills.Such is not the case.It has been Windsor, under the charter of the corporation since 1914.The municipality of the township of Windsor first came into being on July 1, 1864.The civic charter, including the township of Windsor was

switchover to the dial system af-i ter working in the Compton district for some months.Now Compton is linked with Water-ville and North Hatley although \u2022\tPLUMBING \u2022\tHEATING \u2022\tVENTILATION A.R.Wilson Ltd.270 Dufferin Ave.\u2014SHERBROOKE \u2014 LO.9-2509 A VISIT TO Continued from page 24 dreds of tons of it every hour of the day.Designed as it is for the mass production of high quality asbestos fibres, this modem mill is also a clean and healthy place in which to work.Despite the daily handling of so much rock and fibre, the atmosphere is remarkably free of dust, thanks to a highly efficient system of dust control.Some idea of its extent-and, incidentally, of the scope of the operations that are carried on here-may be gained from the fact that there are some thirty acres of cloth bags in the filters and more than four thousand dust enclosures in the system.MILLING Although the milling process is complicated in its many repetitive operations, it is fundamentally one of separating the fibres from the mother rock.This is accomplished by a series of crushing operations, following each of which the ore is passed over vibrating screens which effect a rough separation of the loose, partially opened fibres from the rock.Powerful suction hoods, functioning like enormous vacuum cleaners, lift the freed fibres leaving the heavier rock and the still unopened fibres, which are conveyed to another crusher.The crushing, screening and lift- there is a small toll charge.The new dial exchange number is TErminus 5-.The Compton town council is made up of Mayor Gerald Gro-leau, and aldermen Andrew Chapdeleine, Gerald Prévost, Louis Martel and Gabriel Cote.Manufacturer! of TRICOT FABRICS, FOR THE LINGERIE, GLOVE, DRESS AND BLOUSE INDUSTRIES.ing operations are repeated until; all the fibre has been separated and only waste rock remains-From start to finish, the milling process is continuous, the rock and unopened fibres traveling by conveyor and gravity from one operation to the next, and the separated fibres being drawn upward by air currents to large cyclone type collectors through an extensive system of ducts.CLEANING AND GRADING After separation, the fibres are thoroughly cleaned and carefully graded according to length.Since fibre length determines ultimate use, grading is an important step in processing.Specially designed machines separate the longer from the horter fibres, producing upwards of eighty different grades which range in length from major fractions of an inch down to fibres so short that they resemble a fine powder in appearance.Grading is in accordance with rigid industry specifications and test samplings are continuously made to assure conformity with these standards in the finished product.When the cleaned and graded fibres have been packaged in 10O-pound containers, they are ready for shipment to the many plants throughout the world where they will be used as essential ingredients in the manufacture of a great variety of useful products.^ TEXTILE DEPARTMENT \u2014 Asbestos is shown being woven with similar methods used in textile factories.The manufacturing plant at Canadian Johns-Manville Co., Ltd., in Asbestos, is the largest of its kind in Canada and produces asbestos and allied commodities for domestic and export requirements.CANADIAN ARMY Continued from page 6 Germany and other European countries and provided scores of jobs for German workers in the Army camps.Many married German brides and some 98 were brought home to Canada when two-thirds of the brigade group | were rotated during the fall.Still others donated blood regularly to the German Red Cross, contributed to the upkeep of orphans and pitched in at the request of German Forest Rangers when fires threatened tinder-dry forests of the Sauerland last October.Their various contributions were summed up by George Duel-berg, burgomaster of Soest who said, \u201cYour Canadians have become part of the economic lite- Contin-uod on page 27 BUILDING IN THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS Over fifty yeors the history of the MacKinnon Structural Steel Company Limited runs parallel with the history of the Eastern Townships, so large a number of important works and commercial buildings of every description have been built by one for the other.Bring your own particular building problem to us for solution insofar as it concerns the use of steel for which we are specialists.If steel is required, we know how to moke it and erect it.FABRICATORS AND ERECTORS OF STEEL for BRIDGES, BUILDINGS and other STRUCTURES MacKinnon Structural Steel Company un SHERBROOKK DAILY RECORD, Linoleum Industry Active New Styles Marketad;

48th Highlanders of Toronto and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, of Hamilton, Ont.A Changing of the Guard ceremony carried out daily on Parliament Hill during several hot summer weeks by members of the 1st Battalion, Canadian Guards, proved very popular with visitors.An estimated quarter-mil-lion spectators lined the green lawns as the scaidet-coated Guardsmen carried out the historic service.As part of their ceremony the battalion also mounted a household guard at Government House.During the year selected Canadian soldiers trained on the French SS-10 anti-tank missile at the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps School, Camp Borden, Ont., ¦while others received training on various types of missiles at schools in the United States.Canadian soldiers also participated in live tests with Nike-Hercules guided missiles last winter at Fort Churchill, Man.Control of the Army's Northwest Territories and Yukon Radio System was handed over dur ing the year to the Department of Transport.A wireless network Continued On Page 30 Dominion Linoleum\u2019s 1960 colours lead the trend to sophisticated tones.They are subtle as only linoleum\u2019s soft-smooth finish can be subtle.This tremendous colour variety offers unmatched scope for blending with modern wood surfaces and finishes.Dominion Linoleum is also remarkably adaptable to unique motifs, special-design shapes and original patterns.Ask the Dominion Linoleum Custom Design Department about exclusive design combinations.For samples and descriptive literature, write: Dominion Oilcloth & Linoleum Co.Limited, 2200 St.Catherine Street East, Montreal.By-the-yard for the smart seamless look, or in tiles for special effects.MARBOLEUM, DOMINION JASPÉ, HANDICRAFT, B ATTLESHIP, TILECR A FT.all inlaid.Dominion Oilcloth & Linoleum Co.Limited, 2200 St.Catherine St.E., Montreal, Que.Makers of Dominion Linoleum, Dominion Vinyl Tile, Asphalt Tile and Associated Products.DOMIJVIOIV mm - ¦ % -, , ;

disease, it had to be removed quite recently.This tree which stood as a land mark for more years than anyone knows, was supposedly the largest tree this side of the Rockies with a circumference of 28 feet, and a height of 50 feet from the ground to the lowest branches.Its age was unknown but it was there when Dr.Foster was the country doctor in the early years of the 1800\u2019s.It had an interesting history of its own.Frost Village was then the chief lieu of Shefford County and the little stone church built in 1852, still stands, and is said to be still in use.The thriving town of Waterloo was founded in 1815, the year when Napoleon met his Water- loo, and was named in commen-oration of that event.John R.Booth, the lumber king of Ottawa, whose granddaughter married into royalty was born at Waterloo.Here too the nationally known Slack Bros, have their mushroom plant, one of the largest in the world.Granby the chief city in Shefford County is one of the most progressive in Canada.It was here that Palmer Cox created his lovable Brownies, and here in the cemetery he lies with an immense granite boulder marking his resting place.Granby too is the home of the well known Granby Zoo, a popular attraction for several years past.Compton village in that county is distinguished as the birthplace and boyhood home of the Rt.Hon.Louis St.Laurent past Prime Minister of Canada.Arthabaska boasts of the birthplace of another eminent Canadian, Sir Wilfred Laurier.TO SETTLE DISPUTE There is an interesting story connected with the name of their chief town, Victoriaville.\" At one time there were two men who claimed leadership in that part of the townships, a Mr.Demers and a Mr.Foisy.When the question of autonomy arose, Mr.Demers suggested the new municipality be called \u201cDeraers-ville,\u201d after him, Mr.Foisy objected, suggesting it be named \u201cFoisyville\u201d for him.It was final- N ly decided to settle the matte* by naming it after the reigning sovereign \u2014 Victoria\u2014and on May 28 1861, it received its offi-cial name of Victoriaville.It in a center of Canada\u2019s furniture industry.Plessisville in the same county has large foundries and important shoe, hosiery and wood working manufacturers.While the industries of the Townships have been developing, educational needs have not been neglected.We have come a long way from the log school houses of the pioneers.Now every county has its fine schools meeting the requirements of the times.Bishop\u2019s College Schol at Len-noxville being outstanding among private schools in the province.Up until this year Stanstead Wesleyan College at Stanstead was a co-educational institution but has recently been made a boy\u2019s school.St.Helen\u2019s School at Dunham and King\u2019s Hall at Compton are the only two all girls\u2019 schools in the Townships.The Knowlton Composite High School located at Knowlton is a fine modern school to which pupils from all over Brome county are conveyed by bus.Bury has the more recently built Pope Memorial School serving the needs of a large area in that part of the county.In other localities either new schools have been built or old ones have been renovated and modernized.In commenting on the educational advantages of the present day, it seems fitting that some reference be made to the long and enviable career of the historic old school at Hatley.This school was built in 1832, one of the first in the province and was known as Charleston Academy as Hatley was then called.Students came from all parts of the Townships even as far away as Quebec City.In 1834 there were 113 pupils enrolled with a staff of three.The regular school course was followed, with the addition of music, drawing and painting for those desiring it.Although many school have come and gone, this old school still stands, not as an ancient relic, but as a modern comfortable school of which the people of Hatley can be justly proud as well as of

passenger cars and 80,000 trucks.This would compare with the approximately 363.000\tunits built in 1959 and 356.000\tbuilt in 1958.It is estimated that industry production in 1959 would have been nearly 30.000\tunits higher had it not been for the steel shortage.From current indications, the growing market offers opportunities for cars of all types\u2014standard size cars, the new compacts and the small European imports which in 1959 accounted for 26 per cent of passenger car sales.The standard size cars will continue to represent the overwhelming volume of sales and production for the foreseeable future.The compact cars have had a favorable reception since their introduction but because of limitsd and interrupted production, it is too soon to assess fairly their ultimate sales strength.At the same time, the European imports will continue to represent an important part of the market.highways\u2014254,000 more than ever before.^There were 3,780,-000 passengers cars and 1,120,000 commercial vehicles.There is now a motor vehicle in Canada for every 3.6 persons and a passenger car for ever 4.6 persons.When the Industry looks beyond 1960 there appears even more reason for optimism.A steady increase in both population and income should keep demand high over at least the next five years.A good indication of the growing market is the steady increase in Canadian households owning automobiles\u201442 per cent in 1951 rising to more than 63 per cent in 1959.This is still considerably below the United States average of 75 per cent of The future for commercial vehicles looks highly favorable.A« highways are improved and e*-tended, as industrialization spreads, as new areas of Canada are opened up for development and as the need for servicing suburban areas continues to in?crease, uses for trucks will ex?pand.A recent independent estimât* indicated that over the next fiv* years, total annual vehicle sales may average well over 600,000 units \u2014 more than 500,000 passenger cars and more than 100,» 000 commercial vehicles.If Canada maintains its present tempo of growth and development there would seem little reason to dispute this estimate.A FLOURISHING LUMBER BUSINESS in Coaticook OUR MOTTO: An Interesting trend in the field of small European cars has been an accelerated rate of sales of cars imported by Canadian manufacturers from their plants in the United Kingdom.In 1959, these cars accounted for approximately 37 per cent of all imported s-mall cars, as compared with only 26 per cent in 1958.Several factors may explain this trend: North American type styling, nation-wide parts and service facilities offered by the Canadian manufacturers, a greater availability of these cars than evgr before and their duty-free entry under the British preferential tariff.Employment and production schedules will be high during 1960, particularly so in the first six months.There are two immediate reasons: to make up production lost during the latter months of 1959 and to meet the steadily growing demand for new cars and trucks.This increased activity should be reflected in other Canadian firms primarily concerned with supplying goods and services to the automotive industry.As a result, they may be expected to maintain or increase their work forces and to increase spending in turn among their own suppliers.About $1,200.000.000 In Wages, Goods, Etc.In 1959, the automobile industry continued to play a major part in the Canadian economy.It is estimated to have spent in Canada (his past year for goods, services, wages and taxes $1,200,-000,000.Its average employment totalled 33,500 and at the same time the industry provided close to full-time employment for another 100,000 Canadians in its 5.500\tdealerships \u2014 estimated at 66.500\temployees\u2014and in the plants of the suppliers of automobile parts, rubber and petroleum.It has been estimated recently that the industry contributes in a greater or lesser degree, directly or indirectly, to the pay envelopes of one out of five Canadians and that its operation is reflected in one out of seven Canadian businesses.Motor vehicles continue to provide an important source of gov-^ ernment income.The industry itself paid the federal government an estimated_ $140,000,000 last year in sales and excise taxes.At the same time, Canadian motorists paid out $515,000,-000 to provincial treasuries in registration fees and gasoline taxes.This represented approximately 25 per cent of all provin cial revenues \u2014 more than 33 per cent in the case of Ontario.Every 4.6 Persons Own Passenger Car At January 1, 1960, there were an estimated 4,900,000 motor v« \u2022 Quality \u2022 Satisfaction \u2022 Quick Service Nails, Gyproc, Insul-Board, Donnacona

necessitates the use of extra high voltage lines and terminal equipment, such as power circuit breakers and transformers.No one who knows the electrical manufacturing industry well will doubt its ability to contribute fully to the success of this highly significant engineering endeavour.NUCLEAR POWER The year saw increasing attention throughout the world ir lit generation of electric por.*i:i from nuclear sources.There has been much disci1» sion regarding the relative suit ability of the various reactor types to achieve economic power.With the variation of environment from country to country, it appears that where a particular reactor type is chosen to suit the needs of one country, that type may be much less promising elsewhere.The United States continues to concentrate on reactor types using enriched fuels which can be supplied from very costly enrichment plants necessitated by their military program.The United Stales is unique in this respect and so we see other nations who are more interested in reactor types employing natural uranium rather than enriched.For in.stance, the United Kingdom is continuing its work on large pow- er stations udng natural uranium and graphite moderator; the U K.have placed recent emphasis on chemical reprocessing of .IT*-'\u2014*- - ¦\t;r,;: CcbiAIldiOiAL IwwÂthl 1873 ^ spent fuel and on breeder reactors.Canada, having abundant resources of low cost natural uranium, is quite logically fol-.low ing the development of the ¦saturai uranium - fuelled, heavy * .eater-moderated reactor type , whose technology she has pion-i eered.| European interest in the Can-1 j aûian reactor program was em- : pnafized early in 1959 when an ! agreement was concluded between Canada and the Euradom countries for a joint development program and exchange of information on the Canadian type of power reactors.Under the agreement, a joint board will advise on a research and development program which will entail an expenditure of $10 million shared equally over the next five years.Considerable progress and increased interest in the organic cooled, heavy water moderated reactor type designated \u201cOCDR \u2019 was seen in 1959.This reactor is based on the Canadian technology but uses an organic coolant instead of heavy water.The use of organic coolant reduces system pressures and associated containment problems.Since organics are also non-corrosive at high temperatures, the need for expensive zirconium j tubing is eliminated.These, along with other advantages, promise significant reductions in capital costs, while still largely retaining Mmjjl All-Canadian Detign+rt and Manufacturant al: Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment \u2014 Special Machinery \u2014 Belt, Drag.Screw and Cable Conveyors \u2014 Bucket Elevators, log Debarking, Slab Chipping and Chip Screening Equipment \u2014 Sawmill and Lumber Processing t Equipment \u2014 Mill Supplies.\t.?Grain Hammermills \u2014\u2022 Feed Mixers \u2014 Seed Cleaners \u2014 Mobile and Stationary Gravel Crushing and Screening Plants.\\ ' to RAN O «JwUtrutccL H»aii Office a * the little village of Lennoxville, (now a thriving town), near the end of the nineteenth century.At this time Mr.George Henry was still alive, and after some I persuasion, very reluctantly rel-I ated the facts about the only watches ever made in Canada.It is interesting to know something of the history of the \"Henry\u201d family who originally emigrated trora the north of Ireland, settling in Vermont and Massachusetts, and for generations engaged in agriculture.It was from this sturdy stock that overflowed across the border line of Eastern Canada that the great grandfather of Charles Henry came.His grandfather ultimately settled at Hatley, Stanstead County, in the Province of Quebec, and it was in the same place in the year 1820 that Charles Henry was born.His four brothers were farmers but Charles was a born mechanic and kept busy with forge and hammer in repairing farm tools.It was through the influence of an uncle that young Charles Henry left the farm for the city, and the blacksmith\u2019s forge for the watchmaker's bench.He must have been about eighteen or twenty at the time, and was apprenticed for three years in the City of Montreal to an English escapement maker named \u201cDwight.\u201d Fascinated by the delicacy and variety of his new work and under Dwight\u2019s instruc- A Henry watch belonging to a Dr.Austin.lions, the young farmer-blacksmith made rapid progress.It was while in- Montreal that Charles Henry was married and there also, in 1848, George Henry, his only son, was born.He was little more than through his apprenticeship when he completed his first watch.In a letter dated from Lennoxville, October 28th, 1894, Mr.Henry wrote in answer to an interested correspondent: \u2018\u2018With regard to the first watch made in Canada, it does not matter who made it.The first watch that I made was Continued On Page 82 Vkfe moved by North American -theyhse Careful!

many another firm, finances had j to be augmented with by-products | of the industry.So they devised jthe first dustproof watch keys made in Canada, also a very serviceable glass cutter, both of which were ingenious and distinctly profitable.Planning, patenting, making and selling with one end in view they equipped a small factory and produced all told about one hundred and fifty movements.Apart from students at the horological school in Toronto they enjoy the distinction of being the only watchmakers Canada ever had.Mr.A.C.Skinner, who knew both of these men personally and who is responsible for this pamphlet, states that the first Henry watches were undoubtedly key-wind, and the one now in possession of Mr.Arthur Speid of Lennoxville, is still in good running order.Concerning the Edgell watch Mr.Skinner relates an interesting story told to him by George Henry.It seems that Mr.Edgell was a good friend of his father\u2019s and knew that he needed money.He also knew that Mr.Henry would be deeply offended if he offered to either give or lend him money, and solved the problem by walking into the store one day and putting one hundred and fifty dollars down on the counter, and saying, \u201cHenry, I want you to make me a watch,\" then walked out.The purchasing\tvalue today would\tbe ten\ttimes\tthat\tamount, so\tit represented a considerable sum.In about a year\u2019s time the watch was\tdelivered.\tIn reference\tto this\twatch\tMr.\tSkinner says\the knows for a fact that the pallet jewels were cut from a garnet with a sapphire cutter and he had seen these rough jewels be-l fore they were bevelled or ! polished.For those to whom It may con-;cern or be of interest, we have tried to compile a brief but | authentic history of the shortlived Canadian industry of the I early nineteenth century in Len-I noxville, Quebec.It is but a slight I tribute to the men who in the march of time created this in- dispensable instrument which records \u201cnot only the sunny hours,\u201d but all time \u201cin figures on a dial.\u201d In all probability no two men in North America ever made so many watches of various kinds and sizes as Charles Henry and his son George.With grateful acknowledgment to Mr.F.R.Bentley, Mr.A.C.Skinner and the editors of \u201cThe World Book,\u201d this record was compiled and written by R.C.Tait, Sherbrooke, Quebec.SOUTH AFRICAN Continued from page 77 à risuM- Kjotser Julius Kayser & Co.Limited Sherbrooke, Que.canvas on the main lines of communication, those following the troops in the field had many difficulties to contend with, and many badly wounded patients, after first aid, were forced to suffer hours while being conveyed miles by or on mule wagon to the main points of accommodation.The dead were buried, wrapped in blankets, any number together, and left without any markings in the form of stones or crosses; there were no facilities for doing so, and the troop movements were too mobile to permit of any elaborate obsequies.Enteric fever and dysentery were rampant, the former largely the result of drinking water from stagnant pools covered with a thick coat of slime, and quite frequently poisoned.Horses with tongues hanging and so swollen they could not replace them would not drink this water, but would suffer for hours until reaching some flowing stream.A small quantity of flour commandeered from some recently vacated village was sometimes mixed with water, put in a canteen lid, placed on a fire, half burned and then eaten.But the time came when it was impossible to find fuel for cooking purposes.A common practice was to round up a few sheep, slaughter them with bayonet or large pocket knife, trim off the hide, and eat the warm flesh uncooked.This may sound somewhat cannibalistic, but believe it or not, those who experienced real hunger and thirst know that it was done.After the first few months, the mounted troops discarded such equipment as camp tents; they were too cumbersome.Two rifles and a blanket made a bivouac for two men.The writer spent a period of two years in the country without being inside a tent or a building of any sort.Sleeping in rain or shine, on the hot sand, or in the mud, made no difference.We had to put up with it; long night rides, trailing along sometimes asleep in the saddle, believe it or not.Two years of constantly moving up and down, from Cape Town in the south to Johannesburg in the north.Basutoland to the east, and Griqualand and Vryburg to the west, finally ending at Kimberley, where we received the welcome news of the signing by the Boers of conditions of surrender on 31st May, 1902.After that more comfortable soldiering in and around Kimberley, until Jan.1963, then the long journey by train to Cape Town and home again te dear old \u201cdirty Dublin\u201d, SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, SAT, MARCH '2ii, 1960 M Excise Tax Increase Hits Cigarette \" E.C.WOOD af excise taxes.Smce World War II Canadian manufacturers\u2019 cigarette prices have moved up by inly two-fifths of the price increases in all other manufactured products.A price index for cigarettes (net of excise and 1935-39 equal 100) has increased inly 51 per cent whereas the dmilar D.B.S.Index for the total if manufactured goods has in-rreased 142 per cent.On iverage, only 15 per cent of the eonsumer price is used in the ransportation and wholesale and retail distribution of the industry\u2019s products through 90,000 outlets across the country\u2014a low percentage cost for any product By EDWARD C.WOOD President, Imperial Tobacco Co.of Canada, Ltd.Although beset by an unconscionable Excise tax increase in 1959, Canadians used about $700 million worth of tobacco products.This represented retail sales of about 33 billion cigarettes, 300 million cigars and 24 million pounds of fine cut, pipe, plug and snuff ! tobaccos, manufactured in Canada.These sales also represented- a sizeable contribution to the : Canadian economy; 130 million pounds of Canadian-grown leaf lobaeco were used; over $25 million spent with Canadian suppliers for other materials; $40 million paid to Canadian workers in processing and manufacturing, and about $100 million that contributed to the gross income of wholesale and retail distributors.Although these are impressive figures, they fall far short of what they might have been if Canadian smokers had not been singled out in the last Federal Budget for an Excise tax increase on cigarettes \u2014 already the most heavily taxed commodity in Canada.In the pre-budget first quarter, cigarette production was up more than 7 per cent over 1958 \u2014 well in line with the long term growth trend of 6-7 per cent, although somewhat lower than the 9-10 per cent increases of recent years.In the second quarter, after the additional tax however, the increase was only 4 per cent, and in the third quarter there was actually a decrease of 4 per cent \u2014 indicating zero growth for the post-budget per iod.At annual rates, this means a loss of over 2 billion cigarettes, three million dollars worth oi unused leaf tobacco, over a million dollars worth of un-purchas ed material supplies, a million dollars worth of unpaid labor, and over three million dollars worth of gross income to the distributive trade.Even the Federal Government stands to gain very little over its present excise taxation revenue of $300 million from cigarettes.Excise Tax Provides 6% Of Federal Revenue Federal excise taxes on cigarettes now add nearly 210 per cent to the manufacturers\u2019 selling price and provide 6 per cent of all Federal revenues.These taxes place an exorbitant and discriminatory burden on the cigarette smoker.For example, a Canadian wage earner, married with two children, earning $73.71 ! per week (June 1959 Industrial Average) pays $174'.46 in Federal ; Income Tax.If he and his wife smoke cigarettes (one package ! each per day) they also pay ; $145.56 in Federal excise taxes.In other words they contribute ; further revenue to the Government equal to 83 per cent of what they have already paid for income tax.There can be little doubt that | the present rate of Federal ex-1 cise taxes on cigarettes is not i only exorbitant but grossly un- ; fair.Sales of pipe tobacco held fairly level in 1959 and fine cut to baeco gained from the move to \u201croll-your-own\u2019' which traditionally follows an increase in taxation on \u201ctailor-made\u201d cigarettes.Within cigarettes there was a continued trend to filter tipped types, which now account for nearly 45 per cent of the total.Cigar production was down about 6 per cent, due partly to a levelling in the number of new brands introduced, and partly to inventory adjustments within the trade.Small inexpensive cigars have developed to an appreciable portion of the cigar market, and price has undoubtedly been a major factor.Plug tobacco continued its down-ward trend, while snuff showed a small increase.Despite increasing cost pressures, the tobacco industry remains one of the most efficient in Canada.In technological progress it has kept well abreast of industrial developments, and this has been reflected in relatively low selling prices \u2014 net in such widespread distribution The 1959 crop for all types of leaf tobacco is estimated at only 172 million pounds\u201428 million pounds less than produced in 1958.The entire reduction was in flue-cured i.e.cigarette types, which in addition to a killing frost before completion of the harvest also suffered from a 6 per cent reduction in the number of acres planned for and planted by the growers themselves.The production of cigarette tobacco for the 1960 crop will have to be considerably increased so that stocks of both domestic and overseas customers can be brought up to necessary levels.The price levels for leaf tobacco should also be carefully considered in terms of both the domestic and the overseas market.The domestic market can ill afford a price increase on leaf costs\u2014short of higher cigarette prices to the Canadian smoker; while the overseas mar- ket will reject, with drastic cur (ailment of its t\u2019anad an pur chases, any weakening in the small price advantage that has attracted foreign purchasers vis-a-vis leaf tobacco available to them from the U.S a and other countries.Following a long period of negligible use of imported tobacco in the manufacture of Canadian cigarettes (300-400 thousand pounds per year), 1958 tripled ;this average with a total of 1,337,- 000\tpounds.The first nine months of 1959 at 480,000 pounds, | shows a continuing tendency to ! greater use of imported leaf.! This is a trend away from the i heretofore Canadian use of Can J adian tobacco for Canadian cigar- 1\tettes, and it is hoped the LMî»d t may be reversed.The industry suffered the effect of an increase in the Federal Excise tax.The tax adversely ! affected production and nullified the anticipated increases.Some smokers turned to \"roll- your-own\u201d tobacco.Cigars and plug tobacco were down.F.m poyment, wages and efficiency were good.The industry's con tribution to the general economy was well maintained although the leaf tobacco crop was consi derably less than in the previous year.As the industry recovers from the setback of the 1959 increase in Federal Excise taxes, it will again in ItXiO be an important and positive factor in the Canadian economy.PIONEER FRUIT British Columbia's first large commercial apple orchard was planted in 1867 at Eartecourt, j near Lyt.ton, MARGARINE OUTPUT Canadian production of mar garine reached 145,500,000 pounds in 1958, an increase of 15,000,009 lover 1957.KING-FULL B-A SERVICE STATION REG\u2019D Authorized dealers for: MERCEDES BENZ Sales and Service SPECIALIZED SERVICE ALL MAKES OF VEHICLES \u2014 AUTO BUSSES INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT i CARBURETORS AND FUEL PUMPS \u2022\tGENERATORS AND STARTING MOTORS \u2022\tIGNITION \u2022\tMOTOR TUNE UP \u2022\tSPEEDOMETERS \u2022\tWINDSHIELD WIPERS \u2022\tLUBRICATION .WASHING \u2022\tMINOR REPAIRS Stewarl Kingsley and Frantis T.Fuller, prop.915 WELLINGTON ST.SOUTH TEL.LO.9 0674 NO JOB FOR AN AMATEUR!

imports consequently supplied a larger portion of the domestic market during 1959.A further adverse development was a decline during the first eight months of 1959 in exports of chemicals and allied products, which normally account for about 16% of the industry\u2019s annual output.The drop occurred mainly in trade with the United Kingdom, which has been one of the few expanding markets for Canada\u2019s exports of chemicals in the past few years.Recent figures suggest that by the closing of the growth evident in 1958.Shipments of paints were also maintained at high levels, reflecting improved demand for appliances, furniture and automobiles.Primary plastics and pharmaceuticals output, despite competition from imports, showed further gains.Later in the year, activity improved in Canada\u2019s forest, mineral and metals industries, and shipments of such industrial chemicals as sulphuric acid, ammonia, caustic soda and chlorine rose accordingly.Production of adhesives and their chemical months of the year economic I ingredients went up to meet high-recovery abroad was beginning to ! er output in the plywood and help Canada\u2019s export sales of | packaging industries.The domes-chemicals, and shipments to the tic market for fertilizers appears United States rose throughout 1959.The net result of these influences may well have been a level of exports not much differ ent from 1958.Turning now to the more favourable aspects of the industry\u2019s performance last year, certain parts of the chemical industry benefited directly from the to have exceeded the 1958 level by a slight margin but export markts showed some weakness during the early months of the year.The promising economic outlook for 1960 suggests that the output of chemicals and allied products will show further growth this year;

nitric and sulphuric acids, nylon and tetraethyl lead intermediates, polythene, phthalie anhydride, titanium dioxide and phosphate chemicals in Ontario and Quebec; and possibly phenol in British Columbia and caustic soda and chlorine in both B.C.and the Maritimes.This list suggests a widening geographical distribution of the industry\u2019s growth as compared with 1959.The coming year will also see the start of the Tariff Board\u2019s review of the tariff schedules for chemicals and allied products.This study, first proposed by the Federal Minister of Finance in 1955 but several times postponed since that time, is of course of major importance to the industry, and progress has been made in the preparation of material that will be required by the Board.In fact, some initial benefits of this work are already becoming apparent; close co-operation between the chemical industry and the Federal Government in this matter has begun to yield new information on the structure of the industry that will be of real value.69 87 Lville Family 156 Years On Same Homestead SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, SAT MARCH 26, 1060 By NICK POWELL < Record Staff Reporter) LENNOXVILLE \u2014 Brian Her-, ling, aged 14, his brother Doug, i 11, and two sisters Rosemary | and Elizabeth, aged nine and j four years respectively, are tne ¦ seventh generation o£ the family j to live on the same homestead, a period spanning the last 156 years.Their father and mother, Gor-1 don and Grace Herring, run the I Fairview Farm dairy on the out- j skirts of Lennoxville.Gordon\u2019s brother Ken, and his wife Margaret, still live on- the farm, but do not actively participate in working the dairy.They too, have four children.However, grand master and | mistress of the farm, are Mr.and Mrs.Charles Herring, grandparents of the seventh generation children.Mr.Herring, aged 72, brought the Herring name to the farm.His wife, a year younger than himself, born a Mallory, was born in the present main house, just a year after it was built.The Mallory name first appeared in what is now Lennoxville in the year 1804, part of the great immigration to this area of United Umpire Loyalists fleeing the state of Connecticut after the American War of Independence.Early members of the same Mallory family originated in the United Kingdom years before the Declaration of Independence.In those days, according to Charles Herring and his wife, there were no roads, no railways \u2014 nothing but woods, not even a name.At that time Sherbrooke was known as Hyatt's Mills and most of the neighbors of the Mallorys consisted of groups of Indian families scattered about the area.In fact Gordon's grandfather, born in 1849, played with Indian children when he was young.The Indians, commented Charles Herring, were apparently \u201cfriendly enough.\u201d In those days, says Mrs.Charles Herring, the family had to travel all the way to Three Rivers for their staple foods.The only reason some people settled on the present site of Lennox- LENNOXVILLE GROWS Continued fromm page 85 During the November meeting, a tentative budget of $130.000 was discussed, providing an estimated surplus for 1960 of about ville was the abundant supply of fish.The farm today is located just; above the junction of the Mas-sawippi and Salmon rivers, the latter coming by its name honestly in those days.The present main house is believed to be the third house built on the property.The first is supposed to have been erected where the bridge over the Massawippi now stands; the second was put up on the site of the present dairy and which burned down in 1887.Later that same year the family moved into the new house, the present main house, and a year later Mrs.Charles Herring was born.Mrs.Herring, unbelievably active despite her 72 years, commented on the \u201cnew\u201d house: \u201c120,000 bricks went into this bowse.If has 17 rooms and cost $3,000 to build.While the house was being built, my mother used to feed the working men out in j the shed.\u201d Today, two big barns stand, whereas there were originally 12 to 15 serving the farm.Start- ; ing with about 400 acres, the \\ farm has expanded to more than \\ 600 acres today.There are five : homes, one for the grandparents, one for Gordon, one for Ken and 1 two for the help.For some time according to ; Gordon starting about 1924 or I THREE GENERATIONS OF THE HERRING FAMILY \u2014 Seen above are the fifth, sixth and sev enth generations of the Herring family in Lennoxville, living on the same family land for more than a century.In the centre are Mr.and Mrs.Charles Herring: at the left Gordon and Mrs.Herring and their four children Rosemary, Elizabeth, Brian and Douglas; and at the right Mr.and Mrs.Ken Herring and their four children, Frances, Neil, B.uce and Kenneth Jr.(Record Photo by Gerry Lemay) 1925, his mother made the farm a home for people travelling through and even provided for overnight accommodation for tourists travelling in the district.During World War II (while Gordon w'as overseas) Mrs.Herring had two families from England staying on the farm.Since then she's almost al- ways had someone or other staying there.Today the farm is quite diffe rent from the old days: less than a 10-minute walk to the heart of Lennoxville or a 10 minute ride to Sherbrooke.The farm's dairy also now handles some 2,000 quarts of milk per day run by 12 hired hands and de- livered by six special milk trucks.Charles Herring the senior male member of the family, is not quite as active as he once was, but still likes to take a drive in the car.His wife, quickwitted and alert as ever can still use a cup of lea for an excuse to sit down and have a lively chat.OVER A QUARTER CENTURY OF PROGRESS | Jppf $500.Figures on tax rates were discussed and it was decided they would remain the same for the coming year: General tax, 14 mills; farm tax rate, 8V2 mills.Protestant ratepayers in town would be paying 23 mills, the same as the previous year.WINTER Evaluation for the town reached a new high when it was revealed during the December meeting of council that the 1960 roll reached more than $5,000,-000.Council, also moved to try to prevent further traffic deaths of school children-following a fatal accident the previous month near Birchton.The proposed amendment to the traffic bylaw would prevent automobiles from passing school buses which had stopped to take aboard or discharge children going to or from school.Appeals by the Federal Ministry of Labor for council to take part in the winter works pro gram were tabled.It was pointed out that federal assistance would j prove more costly to the town in the long run, than waiting until j spring for undertaking new projects.Final business included correspondence from both the Canadian National and Canadian Paci- C***?AND THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS The period 1933 - 1960 represents over a quarter century since the opening of our manufacturing unit in Lennoxville\u2014 at that time an expression of faith in a community that has since contributed greatly to the expansion of the thriving Sherbrooke area.Carey is proud to have shared in the rapid development of the largest industrial and commercial centre of the Eastern Townships.Today, Philip Carey products, manufactured in the Sherbrooke area are distributed in all parts of Canada and enjoy national acceptance everywhere they are sold.These include a wide range of roofing and asbestos prod icts whose reputation for unmatched quality and performance is a tribute to the impressive planning of the Philip Carey Company at d the citizens of Sherbrooke district, working together for continued prosperity.THE PHILIP BAREY COMPANY LIMITED LENNOXVILLE, QUE.fie Railways agreeing to undertake improvements on the level crossing on College street.It was felt by council that both railways should have a share in maintaining it.Manufacturers of: ASTHALT SHINGLES, ASPHALT ROLL ROOFIHG, ROLL BRICK SIDING, INDUSTRIAL INSULATION, ASBESTOS PAPeRS and MILLBOARD, ASBESTOS TANK JACKETS, ASPHALT PAINTS, COATINGS and PLASTICS, ELASTITE EXPANSION JOINT and ASPHALT PLANKING, MIAMI BATHROOM CABINETS and KITCHEN FANS.

great deal of swamp land.Perhaps this accounts for the tact that it has long disappeared.About 1850, or later, two factions were petitioning the Missis-| quoi County Council for new roads.One group wanted to build a road from Phillipsburg to Fre-lighsburg.The second group wanted to build a road leading from the province line at Phillipsburg to St.Johns ahd striking the Bedford Road at Lot 21.The petitioners wanting the road to St.Johns said of the Frelighs-burg road, \u201cWe consider that no advantage will be derived by the public at large, by the establishment of any such road.\u201d Besides these main roads th-re were countless by roads and bridges which had to be built and maintained.On October 9, 1852, the Missisquoi County Council, in session at Dunham Flat, pas-\\ sed the following by-law: \u201cAll bridges to be built in the Township of Stanbridge and the Parish of St.Armand West, shall be built and repaired by assessment upon the whole of the rateable property, and not by certain divisions as before.\u201d On March 14, 1853, the same council passed this bylaw: \u201cAlt roads in Missisquoi, whether front roads, or by roads, shall be made and kept in repair by the owners or occupiers of the land.\u201d A tax was levied to pay the overseers or pathmasters.This tax could be paid by labour, at the rate of 3s 9p per day of 18 hours for an able bodied man with necessary tools, ie., shovel, hoe, pick, etc .A yoke of | oxen, with plow and scraper, would bring its owner 3s 9p per j day, and the same rate was allowed for a span of horses.In 1872, the bridge tax wa* still being paid, one St.Armand West farmer, on 100 acres being assessed $6.20 bridge tax.Each fall the farmers were required to take down their rail fences so that they would not become a snow

the Memphremagog Conservation Club.This group of 400 sportsmen, headed by Gerry Murphy, accomplished a great deal during 1959 and have entered the 60\u2019s with plans that should contribute handsomely to the development of the Magog district as a vacation area.During the past year this group built a pond, connected to the Memphremagog.in which they stocked some 7,000 fish, ready for release in the lake.They placed 125,000 salmon, rainbow-trout, bass and pike in the Memphremagog last summer and conducted their usual battle against undesirable species of fish, particularly suckers.Cherry River Pond, in the Mount Qrford Provincial Park is also the responsibility of this club, as this body of water empties into the Memphremagog.Over 75,000 landlock salmon were planted in the pond last fall after it had been rid of poor species.Included in future plans are additional restocking and the construction of another pond adjoining the Memphremagog, in which game fish could be raised.The club has asked for permission from the Provincial Department of Fish and Game to allow smelt fishing in the streams emptying into the Memphremagog, claiming that smelt are harmful to the existence of game fish in the lake.A new committee was formed by the Memphremagog Conservation Club this year, the Special Hunting Committee, headed by Marc Gauvin, Hector Turgeon and Gerry Tremblay.They\u2019re planning various projects to encourage sportsmanlike practices among hunters.20 MAIN Wcbi' \u2014 MAGOia \u2014 Tel.Vl.\tand VI.To Reach \"French-Soeakinq\" Customers with a circulation of 3,000 copies, Edouard Hains - editor - prop.Tel.VI.3-4665 Serving Magog - Ayer's Cliff .Sherbrooke with only the best in bread and pastry.Bolduc\u2019s Bakery Dollard St.\u2014 MAGOG Tel.VI.3-3541 Wf CAN NOW OFFER YOUR CHO/Cf OF 1605 PAINT COLOURS We have installed new equipment in our store, enabling our customers to choose from 1605 different paint colours.It's the \"Maestro\", CANADIAN PITTSBURG'S all-new invention that guarantees ever finer quality than before, and far improved convenience to shoppers.Come in and see this equipment for yourself!

embodying its provisions was then submitted to the British Parliament.Having passed the House of Commons and the House of Lords, it was signed by Queen Victoria on March 29th, 1867 and so became the British North America Act.By royal proclamation it came into effect on July 1st, 1867 since called Dominion Day, because on that date Upper Canada (now Ontario), Lower Canada (now Quebec), Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were united into the Dominion of Canada.The Stanstead, Shefford and Chambly Railway, extending from St.Johns to Waterloo, was opened in 1861, and now forms | part of the Canadian National | Railway.The Massawippi Valley | Railway extending from Lennox-I ville to Stanstead and the Vermont Border was opened in 1870, when it was leased to the Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad, and is now under sub lease to the Quebec Central Railway.Other pioneer lines of Southern Quebec were the South Eastern Railway chartered in 1866, the Richelieu, Drummond and Artha-baska Railway chartered in 1869, and the Lake Champlain St St.Lawrence Jet.Railway chartered in 1871, all of which were amalgamated with the Montreal and j Atlantic Railway in 1891.Also the Waterloo and

and fin-! ancial difficulties, with the main ] object of opening-up the district | and keeping abreast of the times, that they and the generations to | come might enjoy their share of | the prosperity that was so abund-S antly fulfilled.The Canadian Pacific, while in I itself not one of the early pioneer lines in the Eastern Townships, did make a distinct contribution towards its up building and prosperity and also to the country as a whole, by taking over the linking up of many struggling local lines with the establishment of through service SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, SAT, MARCH 26, 1960\t11 > that was so csserKial to develop-1 ment.The inception of (he Que-1 bee Central Railway was peculiar- j ly coincident w ith the Confed-.eration, and its origin was a dir-1 eet outcome of the railway policy of that time.As a matter erf fact it was during Confederation year (1867) that a meeting was called of the | leading citizens of Sherbrooke j and district headed by Sir Alexander Galt (Canadian High Com.| missioner to England and one of the fathers of Confederation), I to consider the proposal of a railway from Sherbrooke north ! towards the city of Quebec, re-! suiting in the incorporation of | the Sherbrooke, Eastern Town-I ships and Kennebec Railway.The construction was started in 1870 and opened for traffic from Sherbrooke to Westbury in 1874, but owing to a financial panic in the United States at this time, which spread to Canada and even across the Atlantic to many of the countries of Europe, the little railway with its limited financial resources was unable to weather the storm, necessitating a corporated reorganization when the name was changed to that of the Quebec Central Railway Company under a new charier, dated Fe-| bruary 23rd, 1875.Under the New Company, con- striR'tion was pushed forward and in 1879 the line reached Val ley Jet., on the Chaudière River, where connection w as made with lev is and Kennebec Railway which had just been completed from Levis to Valley Jet.In common w ith the experience of many of the local lines of the early days, the Levis Kennebec Railway also had its financial difficulties and in the Spring of 1881.it was forced into bankruptcy and purchased by Quebec Central at Sheriffs Sale, through train service being established over the consolidated line between Sherbrooke and the Upper Town of Levis on May 23rd, 1881 The far reaching influence of all these Railways upon the Eastern Townships can hardly be over estimated.Previous to their coming, each section lived largely unto itself, there being very little communication or ex change of products.But with the advent of the railway these conditions were completely révolu tionized.New colonizers came in and by bringing people into contact with each other it broadened their outlook and not only strenghtened the economic anc j social unity but the politics unity as well.¦¦ tm mtâm ¦ y* Jacqueline leads \u201cthree lives\u201d Stenographer

1959 as ! it prepared itself for the imminent arrival in Canada of the age of the giant jet.It was the first time in its 22 !year history that the airline topped the 3,000,000 passenger mark in a 12-month period, president G.R.McGregor revealed.Expanding to meet the ever-increasing demand for commercial air transportation, TCA made available to the public nearly three billion seat miles in 1959, an increase of 17.5 per cent over the previous year.The number of occupied scat miles rose to approximately 1,830,000,000 an increase of 12.5 per cent, while the revenue passenger load fac-itor dropped from 70 to 66 per cent.Total revenue aircraft miles flown also rose 12.5 per cent to 65,708,000 stated Mr.McGregor.There was a 15 per cent increase in freight carriage for a (total of approximately 14.770,000 ton miles while air express ton miles rose 7.8 per cent to more than 2,660,000 ton miles and mail rose 3 per cent to a record total of almost 10,697,000 ton miles.Flight frequencies on many domestic routes were increased in 1959, while Vienna was added to TCA's growing international route pattern.A new non-stop Viscount service was inaugurated toetween Regina and Edmonton this year, and transcontinental service was increased to 12 daily return flights during summer months, providing almost 700 daily round-trip seats across Canada.In the fall, one trans-conti-

Calif., where passengers arc entering by way of a ramp at the nose, the aircraft will be capable of carrying 127 passengers at more than 550 miles an hour.Installation of weather radar on all Viscount and Super Constellation aircraft was completed in 1959, said Mr.McGregor.Throughout the year Trans-Canada Air Lines provided scheduled trans-continental all-cargo service with five North Stars, each capable of carrying up to nine tons of cargo.In addition, all passenger flights carried mail and cargo.This gave next-day delivery to points within a 1,500-mile radius and second-day delivery to points beyond.Traffic remained highly directional with the bulk of cargo moving from east to west on domestic flights; from south to north on trans- nental Super Constellation flight was routed through Winnipeg while service to Antigua was scheduled on a year-round basis, daily Viscount flight was routed into Chicago\u2019s O\u2019Hare field to connect with the jet flights operating out of that giant airport, while eight continued to fly into Midway.In the winter of 1959, Viscount operations were extended to Tampa, Fla., providing service between Toronto and the southern holiday area with turbine-powered aircraft.Eighteen weekly round-trip Super Constellation flights were operated across the North At lantic during the peak summer months, offering more than 1,200 weekly round-trip seats.Four additional Viscounts were delivered to the airline in 1959, while one was damaged beyond economical repair on landing at Toronto.There were no serious injuries in this incident.In addition, one more Super H Constellation was delivered to TCA, bringing its total fleet at the year\u2019s end to 49 Viscounts, 13 Super Constellations, 21 North Stars and nine DC-3\u2019s, the latter used only on the Pacific Coast triangle service and for one daily flight serving the smaller prairie centres.border flights, and from east to west on trans-ocean services.The airline placed a $3,500,000 order for a new Canadian-design-ed-and-built electronic reservations system in 1959.Scheduled to go into operation in 1961, it will speed reservations procedures and reduce possibilities of error to an absolute minimum, reported Mr.McGregor.When operational it will be the most modern such system in use with the world\u2019s airlines.TCA expects by 1961 to become the world\u2019s first intercontinental airline to operate an all-turbine fleet and throughout the past year all departments within the company have been engaged in thorough preparation for introduction of the new equipment.The first of the Douglas DC-8\u2019s each capable of carrying 127 passengers at more than 550 miles an hour, will be delivered to the airline very early in 1960.These aircraft are expected to go into transcontinental service on April 1, 1960, and into trans-Atlantic service June 1, cutting present flying times by almost half.In the summer of 1960, the first of 20 Vickers Vanguards, turbine propeller aircraft capable of carrying 96 passengers .t 420 miles an hour, will be delivered to the airline for service on mediumlength domestic and trans-border routes.A $20,000,000

PASSING OF THE OLD, OPENING OF THE NEW December 1898 Tiie old Victoria bridge one of the wonders of the world in its day, may be said to have disappeared.The \u201cJubilee\u201d bridge took its place to-day, and at twelve o\u2019clock trains were running upon the double track of the new bridge, in full view.Mr.Hays had not long been in office until he determined that the Victoria bridge must be adapted to modern needs.The dark, stuffy, ill-smelling tube was out of date.It restricted the business of the company.It was dangerous.It was antiquated.It pre; vented the expansion of traffic which was one of the things ¦which the new management had determined to realize for the old Grand Trunk\u2014conservative, cautious, not willing, under the old regime, to take a long step in advance.The tubular bridge was the last work of engineering science thirty years ago and the Victoria bridge was the best expression of the tubular idea.Upon its completion, at a cost of nearly seven million dollars, it was opened by the 1'rince of Wales.The work was lauded all over the world as the perfect triumph of best engineering.The single track sufficed for a limited business which did not look for a great expansion in the rear future.Then came a time when, even to the old management, it seemed that something should be done in order to meet the needs of an expanding business, which, with new affiliations, with the increase of population and industry, required modern facilities.The old management was rather timid; (be directors were far away; every fresh expenditure upon a system from which no dividends were expected provided a louder growl of wrath from the shareholders; and nothing was done.Mr.Hays came to office with plenary powers.He was given a free hand.He appointed his own men.He thought out his own policy.And he determined to reconstruct the bridge.This he has done at a cost of over a million and a half dollars, of which sum the Federal Government has contributed three hundred thousand dollars.The bridge is not actually finished, for the footways and carriage roads are to be laid down, but the last relics of the old structure were removed yesterday evening, and today the trains were running upon the double track of what is practically a new structure, which in the expanded form is destined to facilitate a business the volume of which would not have been dreamt of by the men who, over thirty years ago, planned the great Victoria bridge, with its single track, ils discomfort and its danger\u2014the latter element being always present in spite of the most vigilant watchfulness.In the early summer of next year when the bridge; is completed.there will probably be a fo^d opening.The simplicity and directness with which the old was abandoned for the new expresses the democratic spirit It r*.i * : .\u2022- *\t.\ttl ;¦ At> m iTIriitff-\u2019-'n II -4 i\u2022 .TV The top picture, a reproduction of a painting by A.Sherriff Scott, R.C.A,, shows the

attempt to break the monopoly of the Grand Trunk, which owned Victoria Bridge, the only bridge between Montreal and the South Shore.The project was sponsored by two smaller railways, in the belief that the thick iec of the St.Law rence would provide a free bridge during the winter months.These were the South Eastern and the Quebec.Montreal Ottawa and Occidental Railways.The official opening of the ice railway was on the morning of January 31st, 1880.Those sponsoring the project assumed a good deal of dash and bravado, being aware of the presence of sketics and sombre men of warning.The locomotive, \u201cJ.H.Pang-man,\u201d was gay with flags and streamers, branches of evergreen and a large stuffed beaver.Behind the locomotive were two flat cars, on which wooden seats had been built to accommodate the invited guests.Some of those who had come to ride, however, remained to doubt.Seeing the iron weight of the locomotive and the vast expanse of white ice, they lost heart and decided not to be first to tempt fate on the wintry river.A few minutes after eleven o\u2019clock in the morning the en-i gine began to puff its way forward.As it moved farther across the river, the speed was increased.Cheered by the crowd, it passed over the broad white ice as smoothly and as solidly as any railway on shore.After the party had had refreshments at Longueuil, the train returned in triumph to Montreal.The ice railway operated for three successive winters, the trains running daily from one till five, with tickets selling for twenty-five cents for the return trip.Only one accident occurred, when in 1881 a locomotive plunged through the ice.There was no loss of life and the locomotive was recovered and returned to use.The project was abondoned af-! ter the third season when the railways that had sponsored it became amalgamated with other .lines.New Dam Will Benefit Saskatchewan Dry Lands HISTORIC AREA St.Augustine in Florida, founded by the Spaniards in 1555, is the oldest

Wealth, Population Rise Leads Nation in Post-war Expansion By HON.BRYAN L.CATHCART Minister of Travel and Publicity, Province of Ontario Ontario has passed another historic milestone in its phenomenal economic development.In 1959 its population passed the six million mark as a heavy flow of immigration and exceptionally high birth rates combined to produce one of the fastest growing populations in the world.Ontario\u2019s rate of growth has been much faster than the rest of Canada.While Ontario\u2019s population has been increasing at 3.2 per cent per annum during the past six years, the rate for the remainder of Canada has been only 2.5 per cent.Ontario has accounted for one million of the net growth of 2.6 million in Canada since 1953 and two million of the 5.2 million net Canadian growth since 1945.However the growth of Ontario\u2019s population is merely a reflection of its high level of pros- perity, and this, in turn, is a result of Ontario\u2019s burgeoning economy.In just fifteen years (as of 1960)\u2014since the end of World War II\u2014Ontario\u2019s population has increased by two million\u2014or by 50 per cent.For example: Ontario\u2019s gross product has risen from $4.7 billion in 1945 to $13,3 billion in 1958 and will probably reach $14.3 billion in 1959.During the 1945-58 period, the value of manufacturing production increased from slightly Trans-Canada

these industries increased from slightly less than 500,000 to well over 600,000.Gross value of pulp and paper production has almost quadrupled from the 1945 level of $118 million to an estimated $453 million in 1958.Fourteen years ago the value of Ontario\u2019s mineral output was $216 million.In 1958 it was nearly $800 million and in 1959, despite the softness of the base inelal markets, it is expected to rise to over $980 million.Farm cash income, supported by larger markets, reached the highest level in history in 1958\u2014$863 million.Gross value of production per farm rose to an estimated $8,771 in 1958, as compared to $7,806 in the last farm census year, 1956.Fifteen years ago 75 per cent of Ontario's energy needs were met by coal; today coal meets only a little more than 40 per cent.Fifteen years ago 99 per cent of the crude petroleum processed in Ontario refineries came from foreign sources; today not only has consumption of petroleum products trebled but over 90 per cent of Ontario\u2019s crude oil comes from Western Canada.Supplies of natural gas available to Ontario consumers have shot up astronomically as a result of the completion of the generating capacity from 1.230, 000 kilowatts in 1945 to 5,700,000 kilowatts in 1959.Capital investment In Ontario totalled $28 billion since 1945, and S16.6 billion of that has been spent since 1953.At an annual rate, capital investment in Ontario rose from about $700 million in 1945 to $2,100 million in 1953, and is expected to exceed $3,000 million in 1959.Ontario\u2019s people have one of the highest standards of living in the world.Personal income rose from $3,729 million in 1945 to $10,080 million in 1958.On a per capita basis, personal income has increased 111 per cent between 1945 and 1959.Average industrial wages and salaries rose from $32.55 per week in 1945 to $76.94 in June, 1959.Another indication of the groWth in standards of living has been the remarkable expansion of retail sales, from $1,773 million in 1945 to $5,852 million in 1958.- As a result of Ontario\u2019s phenomenally burgeoning economy it is the heartland of Canada with a solid foundation which rests on large supplies of power, expanding manufacturing industries, excellent transportation facilities, a vast storehouse of raw materials, a big and skilled labor population and a varied agricultural capacity.RCAF LOOKS

failures, and financial and budgetary control programs.ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES Reductions in training brought about by the termination of the original NATO aircrew training plan and the Air Force\u2019s own expansion program, made possible several structural changes in the RCAF during 1959.While RCAF Station MacDonald, Man., No.4 Advanced Flying Training School and 14 Training Group Headquarters in Winnipeg, were disbanded, Training Command Headquarters was moved from Trenton to Winnipeg, Air Transport Command Headquarters and 426 Transport Squadron were relocated at Trenton, and a number of flying training units frAm Trenton were moved to bases in western Canada.TRANSPORT COMMAND LOGS BUSY YEAR Air Transport Command, with headquarters relocated at Trenton, recorded a busy year as its aircraft airlifted close to 21 million pounds of cargo (approximately 50% more than last year) and 69,000 passengers.More than 150 scheduled round trips were made to Europe during the year in support of the NATO Air Division and the United Nations Emergency Force in the Middle East.In addition to regular flights \u2022 to the Middle East, 532 troops were airlifted between Montreal and El Arish on special UNEF rotation flights.On other special flights, 475 troops were rotated by the Conv-mand from the Canadian InfanW ry Brigade in Germany.Late in 1959, the RCAF's new long-range

during the S winter.FOREIGN TRADE Canada\u2019s exports in 1959 have moved upward with the general recovery in world conditions, after having been maintained in the preceding year despite a lower level of trade in the world at large.On the basis of figures available to date, the total value of exports in 1959 will approximate $5.2 billion, an increase of about 5 per cent compared with the previous year and the highest figure ever recorded.The principal increases appear in wood, mineral and metal products, including lumber, wood-pulp, newsprint, iron ore, unran-ium, iron and steel and asbestos.Among more highly manufactured products, farm implements and beverages have shown notable gains.Sales of wheat have held close to the high level of the preceding calendar year.Restraining elements in the upward trend of total exports have come from the tapering off in last year\u2019s heavy flow of beef to the United States and the completion in 1958 of non-recurring contracts for military aircraft to NATO countries.Looking at Canada\u2019s exports by broad market areas, the principal increase in sales has been to the United States.Despite'the dampening effect of the steel strike upon industrial activity during the latter part of the year, exports lo this market for the year \u2022s a whole have increased by 11 per cent.Sales to the United Kingdom have remained steady and those to the rest of the Commonwealth have declined slightly.Shipments to all other countries combined are down, but if aircraft are excluded the trend Is roughly unchanged.Within the total, however, sales to Japan have risen by about one-third from a level of $105 million in 1958.Canada's foreign purchases fcave risen in response to the improvement in economic conditions domestically.On the basis of 10-month figures, total imports have increased by 9'i per cent compared with 1958, but remain below the level reached in the preceding year.The increase from last year to this is spread over a wide range of consumer, capital \u2022nd producer goods, with higher purchases of automotive goods \u2022nd farm implements particularly prominent in the total.However, certain important basic materials, iUnr*** m A wide variety of transportation provides the lubrication for Canada's economic machine, assuring a steady flow of goods and materials.Giant boost to economy was building of St.Lawrence Seaway.such as coal and petroleum products, have lagged behind the general upward trend.To some extent, this is a result of temporary influences, but it also reflects a lessening dependence upon foreign sources for this type of product.Geographically, purchases from each of the major trading areas have risen, but in percentage terms the increase is greater for the United Kingdom and other overseas sources corn- ed but slightly.Canada's imbalance on non-merchandise items, such as tourist expenditures and interest and dividend payments, has continued to increase.For the first nine months of 1959, Canada\u2019s deficit with the rest of the world on all current transactions amounted to $119 million, compared with $788 million in 1958 and the record of $1171 million reached in 1957.This deficit On current account bined than for the United States, has been covered by an inflow of Consequently, Britain\u2019s share in \\ capital funds.Even with the high

total imports than in exports, Canada\u2019s imbalance on merchandise trade is presently higher than in 1958, but remains below the levels reached in the two preceding years.Most of the rise in the merchandise deficit this year compared with last appears in the form of a lower surplus with overseas countries.The deficit with the United States has cb&ng- sources.The premium on the Canadian dollar has been higher, on the average, than in the preceding year.INDUSTRY CONDITIONS The general economic improvement during the past year has been accompanied by widespread increases in activity throughout all major sectors of Canadian industry.Within the home market, shipments from domestic producers have, for the most part, kept pace with imports, although there have been notable

experienced the dual stimulus of rising consumption and restricted North American supply resulting from the shut-down of United States mills.The Canadian industry has been operating at full capacity for some months and production has risen nearly two-fifths in the current year.Iron ore output and exports have also increased by about 40 per cent.Non-ferrous metal producers have, for the most part, witnessed a general improvement in market conditions despite adverse influences affecting certain items.The uranium industry ha' had a year of high operations but now faces a period of adjustment.Within the fuel group, petroleum production and refining have increased moderately in response to rising domestic consumption and larger exports, following the removal of American restrictions against Canadian oil.A continuing expansion in distributive outlets has been accompanied by a substantial increase in the production of natural gas.On the other hand, operations in the coal industry have continued downward in the face of strong competition from other fuels.Lumber products had experienced an early recovery in 1958, which continued into the current year.Despite the moderating trend in housebuilding in both Canada and the United States and the late summer work stoppage in British Columbia mills, total production in 1959 has held to about last year\u2019s level.Canada\u2019s newsprint industry tended to lag behind the general recovery in its early stages but, with the continuing rise in North American consumption, has subsequently been moving steadily ahead.By October, operations in the industry had risen to 90 per cent of capacity while production in the year to date is up by 4 per cent.Woodpulp output has shown a stronger year-to-year advance, reflecting principally the strong demand for kralt pulps.Chemicals production, w\u2019hieh had continued to advance during the 1957-58 business contraction, has remained roughly unchanged during most of 1959.Early-year weak-nes in paints and fertilizers has offset gains in other products.With construction work at a record level, building material producers have had an unusually ac- tive year.Consumer - based industries, though in some cases facing stiff competition from imports, have had the benefit of a stronger trend of consumer spending.In the case of automobiles, from 1958 to 1959, the proportion of European-type cars in the Canadian market has increased from 20 to 25 per cent.Nevertheless domestic production of passenger cars ran well ahead of a year ago\u2019s level until the recent shutdowns caused by shortages of parts from the United States.To mid-December, production was slightly up compared with the 1958 position.In the commercial vehicle field, where imports ara relatively small, output is up by 15 per cent.In most electric appliance lines there has been a pronounced increase in both production and sales.\t, Imports of some items, such an refrigerators and freezers, have fallen sharply mainly as a result of curtailed production in the United States.Textile, clothing and leather footwear trades have experienced a moderate rise in

Canada slackened somewhat in Hie summer months.Suhsequent->y, the pace U advance has again Quickened, and key economic indicators are presently pointing toward further expansion.The international economic cli-mate at this time appears parti-\u2022ularly favourable.There is gen-eral expectatiwi that the Ameri-?an economy will move ahead renewed vigour, providing the steel strike is not resumed.In other industrial countries, business activity continues to advance alter a year of steady expansion.The balance of payments positions of these countries have strengthened and their reserves have increased substantially.The world\u2019s main trading currencies are now convertible and discrimination against dollar area exports is being progressively eliminated.Import restrictions are being relaxed and removed.Moreover, with the vulnerability to balance of payments difficulties greatly reduced, the growth of internal consumption and investment levels in many foreign countries is no longer subject to the same limitations as previously.Meanwhile, under-developed countries have benefited from a moderate improvement in world commodity markets.These developments have already resulted in a considerable increase in the level of international trade.In the early stages of this world expansion, the major material-consuming countries, such as the United States, relied to a large extent upon available domestic capacity to provide for their mounting requirements of industrial materials.However, further growth of production in industrial countries is likely to be accompanied by increasing reliance upon Canadian as well as other outside sources of supply.The level of Canadian exports is already rising and continuation of this trend would exert a dual stimulus within the economy.On the one hand, it would bring into use recently-created capacity in Canada\u2019s export industries.Secondly, it would generate new interest in industrial expansion and thereby reinforce the rising trend of capital investment.What is presently known of investment plans for 1960 suggests that capital outlays by the busi- ness community will increase considerably.A stepped-up rate o< expansion is indicated in the commercial sector, in manufacturing and possibly in some utilities also.The level of outlays in othec fields of investment will depend in large part upon the physical and financial resources which they are able to command.For example, the reduced availability of mortgage funds has already brought about a decline in the level of private housebuilding, but the recently-announced increase in the maximum rate on loans insured under the National Continued On Page 134 1960 ?UR TH YEAR OF PUBLIC SERVICE Sun Life of Canada has paid out $3 billion to policyholders

publicized since its launching in 1957.The latest progress report says everything is going ahead on schedule.By 1962 Britain will have smaller, nuclear - trained forces, all volunteers.They will be highly mobile and highly armed\u2014with atomic weapons.But there ik a growing feeling among some British service chiefs that the country is getting weaker against any form of conventional warfare.CRITICIZES POLICY The most outspoken critic of ] the government\u2019s present policy is Lt.-Gen.Sir John Cowley, a | respected officer, who publicly | implied that Britain is following! a suicidal policy by depending on atomic bombs.Shortly after Harold Watkinson | took over as defence minister Duncan Sandys, k T Riches from Canada\u2019s forests have traditionally been one of the mainstays of the country\u2019s economy.For many years newspqnt has been the leading export; with woodpulp and lumber it currently supplies 22% of the national income from exports.Production of wood products has doubled since 1939.\t(National Film Board of Canada Photos ) mave the front pages of mo®t BnVish newspapers with this statement about any future war: \u201cUnless we bring nuclear deterrent into play we are bound to be beaten, and if we do bring rt into play we are bound to come mit suicide.\u2019\u2019 The only reaction from the defence ministry was that in future all speeches by soldiers on policyr must be cleared with the minister.There is a feeling that Sir John reflected the opinion of many other senior officers.Spokesmen for defence planners say that nothing short of an emergency can change the existing policy until 1962.\u201cAfter that,\u201d said one, \u201c(here may be quite notable alterations.'\u2019 Meantime, they say, Britain can handle any small outbreaks.The RAF is acquiring new transport planes to haul soldiers to trouble spots and \u2018\"bush-fire brigades\u201d are being trained in the army for limited combat.NO TROUBLE SPOTS In terms of fighting, the British Army can look back on it* quietest year since the Boer War.This year saw the only six-month period since the start of the cén»-tury when no Tommies were fighting.And the new year began without a notable trouble spot.The ending of open hostilities in Cyprus was one of the year s brightest developments' for the defence ministry.Itchy spots in the Middle East were also healed over.More missile bases went into operation in Britain, and the air force's hitting power grew stronger with strike aircraft and faster fighters.The navy continued its policy of acquiring smaller and faster ships while scrapping more left-overs from the Second World W\u2019ar.With improved service pay and working conditions, recruiting rose sharply, eliminating all doubts about the ending of conscription.The call-up ended Iasi year and the last national serviceman will be discharged io 1962.GOES FURTHER THAN ANY OTHER PENNY IN YOUR BUDGET In the past twenty years the cost of living has

Rain that a f#as the bane of many Prairie ; 'arirvers in 1999 may prove to be a boon for 1960.The rain and early snow halted the 1959 harvest in many areas.But it has buiR up moisture reserves that had been seriously depleted in 1956 and 1959, and therefore should help get the 1960 crop off to a good start.That was the picture shown by a survey at the end of a season marked by moisture problems.Spring weather in 1958 was too dry for good growing conditions.Early-sown grain failed to mature, some was blown out and dust clouds\u2014reminiscent of the dirty 30s\u2014darkened the sky in southern Saskatchewan.FIRST RAIN WELCOME Rains came just in time.Early in July, a so-called million-ddliar rain soaked the parched land and sent the hopes of farmers soaring.But September rains devilled the harvest in many areas and early in October, up to 20 inches of snow fell ever a wide belt of the Prairies to halt the harvest.The Searle Grain company re- RCAF LOOKS Continued From Page 128 ran North Star, the four-engine transport is capable of carrying 65,000 pounds of freight or 135 passengers.During the year, work also con tinned on the CC-109 Cosmopolitan.Ten of these aircraft now are on order for the RCAF and delivery of the first is scheduled lo be made early in 1960.To familiarize members of the RCAF with the operation of turbo-prop engines, two CL-540 aircraft (similar in design and perfor manee to the CC-109) were loaned to the service by Cana-dair.TRAINING COMMAND During the early part of 1959, the final group of pilots and observers to be trained in Canada under the original NATO aircrew training scheme, were graduated.Under separate arrangements replacing the original plan, training is still being given to a limited number of aircrew from Norway and Denmark.Some German pilots also received training in Canada during the year under a similar agreement.AiitDefence command During the year, elements of Air Defence Command were kept in top operational form as they took part in both large-scale NO RAD exercises and local exorcises under the control of the Command.At North Bay, Ont., and the Mount Laurier area of Quebec, work began on Canada's two BOM ARC \u201cB\" bases.Also during 1959, sitting work was carried out for the 45 gap-filler and the sev,i heavy radars which will be built to improve the Pinetree Line.Earlier in the year, RCAF personnel began to man operational positions at (he DEW Line stations in Canada which had previously been done by U.S.personnel.Before taking over this task, the RCAF officers were normal fall moisture this year, reserves are still only fair, particularly at depth.\" UNKNOWN LOSS A big question facing western KI M- IN KEVIEW -
