[" Te on on its to eat nd fey.brd rle, eet \u2014 He that would govern others, first should be the master of himself.\u2014Philip Massinger NINETY-FIRST YEAR THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER THE LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE DISTRICT OF BEAUHARNOIS HUNTINGDON, QUE., WEDNESDAY.NOVEMBER 18th, 1953 = Mayor of Huntingdon Gives His Views on Building New Skating Rink The question of a new skating rink for Huntingdon seems to be arousing considerable discussion now that the matter is finally being brought to a head.In view of this, we feel that the following letter from Mr.Leo.Cappiello, Mayor of Ælunting- don, should be given more than usual prominence.It sets forth many points for argûment and we believe the public should be in full possession of all the facts if a vote is to be held in the near future.The ideas put forth in the letter are those of The Mayor of Huntingdon, who as he says, due to his incapacity has been unable to voice his opinions at the recent meetings and this is his only present means of conveying to the general public.In view of the importance of the subject and in fairness we grant this space for his opinions.Huntingdon, P.Que, November 13th.1953.The Editor, Huntingdon Gleaner Inc., Huntingdon, P.Que.Dear Sir: Re: New Skating Rink Since I have been unable in recent months to voice my opinion publicly in connection with the New Skating Rink for Huntingdon, with your permission I would like to state a few facts through the medium of \u201cyour Newspaper.I do not wish to create the impression that I am against a New Skating Rink for Huntingdon because, on the contrary, I worked quietly up until the latter part of June, 1953, on this project obtaining as much information as possible relative to this proposed project up to that time.Last February I accompanied Mr.H.A.Somerville, M.LA., to Quebec for *he sole purpose of interviewing the Honourable Jean P.Sauve, Minister of Youth & Welfare in connection with a Skating Rink for Huntingdon.We obtained a lot of valuable information and as a result of this interview the way was paved for the Grant that was announced two or three weeks ago to the effect that the Provincial Government has promised a substantial grant of $25,000.00 towards the construction of this proposed Skating Rink for Hunting- don.May I take this opportunity to thank Mr.H.A.Somerville, M.L.A., the Honourable Mr.Maurice L.Duplessis and the Provincial Government for this Grant that will go a long way towards realizing our alm.As Mayor and as a citizen of the Town of Huntingdon I wish to object to the resolution that was passed at the adjourned Council Meeting, held last evening (Nov.12, 1953) whereby the Municipal Council of the Town of Huntingdon have agreed with certain conditions to.Build, Maintain and Operate this proposed New Skating Rink.Had I been presiding at this Meeting I do not say that I would have prevented this resolution from being passed but I would certainly have been able to publicly register my disapproval outlining my personal reasons against such a move, which in my opinion over a period of years will be both detrimental and costly to the Taxpayers of the Town of Huntingdon.Within a very few weeks the Taxpayers of the Town of Huntingdon will be called upon to authorize or reject the Council through referendum to borrow and expend between $125,000.00 and $150,000.00 for .public works consisting of New Sewers, Water Mains, openings for New Streets, Sidewalks, Filtration Plant- works, etc.I do not think that this referendum will include a Garage and Storage Building which is very Huntingdon Agricultural Society and the Citizens of the Town of Hunt- ingdon and Community.We were informed that Bedford received building Grants from both the Provincial and Federal Governments with which to erect their Building: We were also informed that they (Bedford) received the last grant to be obtained by a Class \u201cB\u201d Fair organization from the Federal Government.This we had verified when we sent a local gentleman to interview Mr.Gardner, Federal Minister of Agriculture with regafd to a similar grant for Huntingdon.By immediately changing the classification of the Huntingdon Agricultural Fair from a Class \u201cB\u201d to a Class \u201cA\u201d Fair I feel quite certain that a further $25,000.00 Grant would be forthcoming from the Federal Government (Department of Agriculture).In addition I understand that annual agricultural Grants received from the Provincial Government will be increased and also that annual grants will automatically be received from the Federal Department of Agriculture due to the change from Class \u201cB\u201d to Class \u201cA\u201d Fair.The only other condition being that the local annual prize-money to a minmum of $3,000.00 (this list amounted to nearly $2,000.00 this year).An Agricultural Building of this description that can also be used as a Skating-and Hockey Rink would cost between $65,000.and $70,000.If this Project could be reailzed and we should at least investigate the probabilities before deciding upon a Rink to be built in the Town of payers of the Town an expenditure of between $25,000.00 and $30,000.00.In short we could perhaps get this building for absolutely nothing.A Building of this description if erected in the Town of Huntingdon would serve only as a Skating Rink whereas if erected on the Agricultural grounds it could and would be used for any other public functions requiring the area and capacity of such building, something that this community is in very urgent need bf.We have heard of several objections raised against such Building being erected on the Agricultural Grounds, the principal objec- individuals have placed this expenditure as high as $15,000.00.This is absolutely ridiculous because in the first place we would not require Sewerage from the Town, well planned and well built Cesspools would take care of this problem and insofar as Water is concerned there is a water line to the Agricultural Grounds at present, this would possibly have to be increased from possibly a \u201c4\u201d pipe to a 2\" or 3\u201d connection from the main which is not too far away.Most of the Rinks jin small centres up through Ontario are erected on Agricultural Grounds and some are as far away as three miles from the actual Town; their Sewerage is no problem because it was provided for with cess-pools.Another issue raised against this proposition is that the Town would lose the Amusement Tax.On a $0.50 admission ticket the Town's share of the amusement tax collected is not more than $0.03 per admission, I am afraid that it will take centuries for the Town to be reimbursed an expenditure of $30,000.00 plus Interest if they were depending on their share of the Amusement Tax for such reimbursements.The question of Artifi¢fal Ice has been mentioned quite frequently.An Artificial Ice plant would cost an additional $35,000.00.If someone will tell me where it is possible to pick much required for the storage Of up this amount of money I certainly our Town Trucks and Equipment.The only lot of land that we have available for this building that we will be obliged to erect in the not too distant future is the lot situated on King Street.If we give this lot away what will we do then, purchase à lot of land in one of the neighbouring Municipalities and pay Municipal Taxes indefinitely?Such as we are doing with our Water Filtration Plant which is situated outside the limits of the Town.Now, do you think for one moment that the Taxpayers of our Town will vote an additional $25,000.00 to $30,000.00, plus this lot of land for a Skating Rink when we should be considering erecting a Garage-Storage Building ourselves which is very essential for the housing and preservation of the Town Assets.80 much for the Building and the Site, what about the actual Maintenance and Operation, of this proposed Skating Rirk for years to come?Past experiences with Municipally operated Buildings have shown that in addition to ordinary Depreciation actual deficits on or- operations each year, because too many organizations expect the use of these Buildings with practl- cally no remuneration or rental to the Municipality whatsoever.As an alternative to the proposed Skating Rink plan and site my opinion would be to erect this pro posed Building on the Huntingdon Agricultural Grounds and my reasons are as follows: During the month of June 1953 the President of the Agricultural Society and myself drove to Bedford, Que., to examine and obtain information and detail in connection with their Agricultural Bullding and Skating Rink which is erected on the Bedford Agricultural grounds.Much to our surprise we examined a Building that would meet the requirements of what we require here In Huntingdon with certain alterations, a Building of this description would benefit both the would favour Artificial Ice.However, in addition to the initial expenditure, what about the annual cost of operation of such a plant! 1 venture to say that it would cost approximately $5,000.00 annually to operate such a system.The very first expenditure would be to obtain the services of a caretaker each year who would, I am certain, have to be a man with a fair knowledge of Engineering to operate such a plant.Where will we find this type of person who will work for peanuts as a salary?I am afraid that if we wait until we are able to afford Artificial Ice in this rink that it will be many years before we even have a Rink.Ladies and Gentlemen, surely we have sufficient public-minded, practical, clear thinking Citizens in Huntingdon who are members of the various local organizations such as the War Memorial Committee, Huntingdon Skating Rink Association, Rotary Club, Town Council, Board of Trade, Junior Chamber of Commerce, etc and who would be interested in forming a Committee to investigate all the probabilities of this Rink question before hasty steps are actually taken that will be regretted later on by the Taxpayers of the Town of Huntingdon.Once this has been given careful consideration and we fail in our endeavours to obtain a suitable Building without any Capital Expenditures on the part of the Town Taxpayers, it will then be time to approach the Huntingdon Municipal Council with regard to a Grant covering the balance required for the cost of construction.After all attempts have failed I would be in favour of the Town preparing a Bylaw to be submitted to the Taxpayers for approval or rejection through referendum to borrow an amount representing the balance required for the construction of a Skating Rink in the Town of Huntingdon.This lamount whether it be $25,000.00 or Huntingdon, thereby saving the Tax- |\u2019 tion being the question of Water and | Sewerage.I have heard that certain Semi-annual Meeting Huntingdon Ladies Curling Club The semi-annual meeting of the

The campalgn on behalf of the ÊC.NI.B.\u2018Blind People) is falling short of its objective by aproximate- ly $400.To date $794.60 has been collected of the $1,200 objective.There are a few more canvessers to hear from and np- report has been received from ~\u201cHemmingford or campaign this year.Any canvassers who have completed their canvass and have not turned in their- reports are asked to get this done as quickly as possible.Reports should be turned in to W.K.Pope at the Bank of Montreal in Huntingdon as early as possible.This also stands for those tions to the fund and have not had an opportunity of doing so before.$30,000.00 be transferred to this other proposed Committee who will actually be responsible for the Construction, Maintenance and Operation of such Skating Rink.By so doing this amount would\u2019 be in the form of an outright Grant and then the Municipal Taxpayers and the Town Council would know the actual annual cost of Principal Payments and Interest each year until the loan and interest is liquidated in full.I would be prepared to go all out for this arrangement in the event of our being obliged to do so.In conclusion, I feel that it is the responsibility of.the Municipal Council to consider a cash contribution or grant towards the construction of a Skating Rink for the children of the Town but for the Town Council to actually Build, Maintain and operate would be disastrous because we would never know just what deficits to expect year after year.As a citizen and Taxpayer I would vote and use whatever influence I may have on other Taxpayers to defeat such a move.Thanking you Mr.Editor, for the space provided in your Newspaper for the publication of this letter, Yours truly, LEO CAPPIELLO, Mayor.N.B.\u2014 I omitted to mention above that the War Memorial Committee have approximately $15,000.00 (cash and pledges), the Huntingdog Skating Rink Association have 000.00 on hand plus the lot of land situated on King St, Huntingdon, Que.All of the above will be available for the Construction of a New Rink.\\ son of Mr.and Mrs.Hector Beau- Quebec, is ex- spending a Franklin which are included in the who may wish to make contribu-| Be Revorted Last W The theft from the Huntingdon Post Office has mounted up since our report last week which was incomplete as no check could be made before investigators had arrived.It now appears that over $10,000 in cash or value has been taken.Postage stamps to the value of $2,000.; Cash to the amount of $2,500.; Registered Bonds and Bearer Bonds, and a quantity of clipped bond coupons in transit through the mail to the value of over $5,000, are missing.This makes the robbery a much larger one than was first thought.Police are still investigating the case, but so far no arrests have been made.Several lines of invesigattion are being followed and it is hoped that these will lead to arrests in the very near future.On the night of November 14-15th complaints were received of articles being stolen from parked cars in Huntingdon.At 1 a.m.on the 18th, two young men were arrested by Chief L'Heureux and Traffic Officer Ernest Leduc and charged with the thefts.The men were: Jean Marie Roy of St.Joseph, Beauce County, age 19, and Laureat Menard, of Chambord, Lake St.John, age 22.Loot From Huntingdon Post Office Robbery To Over $10,000 Check Reveals Loss to Be More Than Could Amounts eek Among the stolen goods recovered were: Trench coat, 2 blankets, a quantity of windshield wipers, cushion, tools, etc.The two were taken to Valleyfield on the 16th and appeared before Magistrate Fortin.They were sentenced to 2 days in Jail and fined $25.and costs.The windshield wipers, a blanket and tools are still not identified.On November 16th, on a complaint from Empire Garage Ltd.Lawrence Carrigan, Athelstan Road, was arrested for a theft of merchandise.The charge was laid of a theft as a servant, of articles owned by Empire Garage, amounting to $30.00.Oarrigan was taken

for a good discüssion concerning the project.If such a meeting can | be organized all the societies will be notified of the date.The meeting thanks Mr.8S.J.\u2014 .Written specially by Robert G.Sellar, | Robert G.Sellar, son of Mr.and \u2018Mrs.Watson Sellar, Ottawa, is | presently in Grenoble, France, with a view to learning the French language.Bob has informed us |that he intends to write a bit of | copy every two weeks or so which we can use for publication.In view of the fact that all articles will be dealing with France or wherever else he may travel in Europe, the articles will appear in La Gazette, Valleyfield-Beauharnois, as well as in the Huntingdon Gleaner.Article No.1 deals with his observations of \u201cArmistice Day\u201d in Grenoble, France.\u201cIt is a cold and damp day.There is a heavy mist on the mountains.The clouds are low, some even lower than the mountain tops.\u201cI have been standing at the foot (of a monument in the centre of \u2018Place Notre Dame for thirty minutes looking \u201ctowards a Roman Ca- rtholic cathedral.As I wateh the Cathedral Notre Dame for the Holy Mass of the Dead, I think of the historical events which have shaken the whole world asunder.\u201cThe monument, at the foot of which I am standing, was constructed by the French Republic and the Town of Grenoble as an everlasting remembrance to those brave men who rebelled against the French monarchy in 1788.For it was here, in this small town, that the firat formentings of the French Revolution began.Inscribed on the monument are the four words which were the watchwords of the revolutionary movement: \u201cBrotherhood, Justice, Liberty and Equality.\u201d \u201cMany conflicts have raged and died since the days of the French Revolution; and many governments have risen to fame and fallen in disgrace.All these are recorded in the annals of the history of that country.\u201cThere have been wars, and there are three which remain in the memories of the majority today: World War I, and World War II, and the Korean War.\u201cToday, November 11, 1953, is the day in which many people attend either church services or the ceremonies at the cenotaph in their city, town or village.They attend these ceremonies, not to praise the events and policies of the world, but, in each his own way, pay silent Observations for The Huntingdon Gleaner Grenoble,

commemorating the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, on June 2, 1953.France have fallen in the attainment of \u201cLiberty and Freedom\u201d.\u201cAs the parishioners pass into the Cathedral through the three doors, they are met by a group of small girls who are selling \u201cLe Bluet de France\u201d, just as poppies are sold in Canada and the United States.Several stop to buy and to contribute before they continue to attend services.Many are soldiers, veterans.Many are fathers and mothers who have lost beloved members of their familles.Many wonder whether too great a sacrifice has been given.\u201cI wonder what the veterans are thinking as they sit quietly or kneel at their benches.Perhaps some are remembering the days they had fought at Lorraine or at Polonaise or at some other front in some other country; the long slit trenches; the clumps of trees on the hills that had to be conquered in the face of firing death; their buddies with whom promising friendships had begun only to be severed and ended tragically by a bullet.\u201cThe cathedral! bell begins to toll and the service is over.As the people came out into the cold alr, I could sense the mixed thoughts by the emotions in the faces of those who had lost dear ones \u2014 some had been weeping quietly; all are sad.Some are missing an arm or à leg, and are wearing long scars.Most are wearing black.\u201cSing on, oh ye choirs, pray for the dead and for pesce,.ye priests, and Protestant ministers nd Jewish rabbis.There have been many who have fallen and many who have contributed their part\u2019 in the achievement of everlasting peace and freedom, It has been a great gacrifice, and the dead should be remembered by the people fortunate to be allve today to enjoy \u201cBrotherhood, Justice, Liberty, and Equality\u201d.ROYAL TITLE TORONTO, (CP) \u2014 The right to the title \u201cRoyal\u201d was glven to the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair here by George V in

bonspiel be held at Howick the week of February 8, and all clubs make ice available for the first two nights.Carried.Moore Trophy It was moved by M.Reany, seconded by E.Ness and carried that since the abolition of iron curling, the trophy (Moore cup) became the Aistrict mixed trophy to be played this year in Huntingdon at a late season date.After some discussion, it was agreed to play the Shawinigan Trophy competition in the usual manner for this season.IL was suggested that each club stress the necessity of being punctual for games in local bonspieis.At the annual meeting held in Ormstown, November T, 16 bonsplels were cither set or rumoured.As there may be more than these, there is evidently one for each week until next spring.It was Buggested that each club select dates as soon as possible for their bonspiels and report to the secretary-treasurer, J.W.Mills, to try and avoid couflict- ing dates.Boy Injured With Pellet From B-B Gun On Saturday afternoon, little Billy

340 in the Ayrshire section; 335 in the Jersey section; 160 in the Guernsey section.In several of these sections there are sizeable exhibits from the United States but the Ayrshire entries are all from Ontario; Quebec; Nova Scotla and Prince Edward Island.In all four of the dairy breeds the classes parades today have been comprised of bulls, dry cows and junior females, with Allister McArthur of Cherry Bank Farm, Howick, as judge of the Ayrshire section.All the championships in the bull section of the Ayrshires went to Ontario herds.The junior and ree serve junior male champions being first and second prize senior bull calves owned by Cumming Bros, Lancaster, Ont.Both of them sired by White Pansy's Burton.The (Continued on page 12) judged in the small M eee gi Le PA IGN te RE Fret © oa - \u2014mratenr Page Two Wednesday, November 18th, 1953 These are days when North American people are likely to indulge in the complacent thought of their abundance of material resources, their intelligent workers, their versatile production equipment, and their leadership of the world in making great quantities of all sorts of things from pins to electronic calculators.All this, and the ease of living too, can Le mightily enhanced by applying an equally high quality of efficiency.Anything that is said here is not intended as criticism of the past.We tend to think disparagingly of preceding periods in history: even, in such fast-moving days, to deprecate last month's or last year\u2019s attainments.But that is futile and sometimes unfair, because what was done a hundred years ago was excellent under the flickering lights of the time, and what we did in 1952 measured up to the mowledge and skill we then had.We are looking forward to getting better products with less effort, in less time, with greater safety, and at lower cost, counting upon our continually increasing knowledge to show us the way.It would be foolish to set up efficient production as a remedy for all human problems and wges.To make work-people and jobs standard would rob life of its diversity, take away its beauty, and infringe upon its freedom\u2014and it would not bring about perfect mechanical efficiency.To standardize or not, to simplify work or not.to have time and motion studies or not\u2014these are not the alternatives given us.The picture is not all black and white: it has the indefinable shadings of a Doré engraving or of a halftone screen such as is used in reproducing photographs in newspapers and books.The person who approaches the matter with an open mind, drawing no hard-and-fast lines between \u201cright\u201d and \u201cwrong\u201d, is likely to find that some standardization, some simplification and some study will increase productiviity and at the same time benefit the employees, the supervisors, the executive, the company the customers and the stockholders.The problem, essentially, is to get everyone into the habit of looking for better ways of doing things.What do we Want?There are some people, of course, who believe that instead of extending our wants and then stri- BACKACHE May beWarning Backache is often caused by lazy kidney action.When kidneys get out of order, excess acids and wastes remain in the system.Then backache, disturbed rest or that tired-out and heavy-headed feeling may soon follow.That's the time to take Dodd's Kidney Pills.Dodd's stimulate the kidneys to normal action.Then you feel better\u2014sleep better\u2014 work better.Get Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills now.51 Making Work Better And Easier ving to satisfy them we should reduce our needs and be content.This is an ancient idea.Plato the philosopher held that a reasonable man would moderate his wants, Most people in the western world wish to live as richly as they possibly can, and when they observe the continually increasing quantity and variety of commodities their work produces, they see no reason why they should not go ahead and do so.A measure of the increase in productivity in Canada is provided by government statistics.From 1926 our production in manufacturing increased from $3,101 million to $16,271 million in 1951, and the standardization it lies rather in the application than in fundamental principles.It is not wise, for ex- | ample, as has been pointed out so often in dealing with conservation, to aim at an increase in our immediate material production if this can be had only by the sacrifice of ; greater ultimate values.| Looking at the matter from an-, other viewpoint, let us consider standards and standardization in relation to performance: if a ma-| chine can do what it is supposed \u2018 to do in competition with other machines isn't it satisfactory, whatever it-may look like alongside another more streamlined model?After all, as was said, facetiously, \u201cthe length of a man's legs does not have to be standardized.It is necessary only that they reach the ground.\u201d Simplification We humans have an instinct or an urge to do things the easiest number of workers from 559,000 to 1,248,000.Figures that are easier to grasp are those showing the! production per worker: 1926, $5545; | a notch or two.Not everyone is yet contented and free from worry, but the general effect has been, where the industrial revolution made itself effective, to give workers more of good than of evil.The mechanical revolution eliminated the human being as a drudge.It provided tools to which the operator transferred his skill, thus producing more goods with less expenditure of human energy.Only 35 years ago when a man left his home on Monday morning he had a 58-hour work week ahead of him; today, the average work week is 40 hours\u2014and the missing 18 hours have been transferred to the man himself.But with all this improvement we do not yet produce enough sé that all can be cared for in the best way possible according to modern standards.People collectively cannot buy twice much goods as before unless thèy produce twice as much goods.That production can be brought about by co-ordination of men, management and machines.1946, $7,594;

(2) Break down the job in detail\u2014 make a flow process chart: (3) Question the job, and then each the new method; new method.Vital to success is step (3).A questioning attitude toward the job will reveal opportunities for each detail of the job;

or aren't planning to buy one, you are an unusual Canadian.The shoe industry tells us that a large proportion of the 37,500,000 pairs uf shoes sold annually in Canada are purchased during Spring.What concerns foot specialists buying, most people\u2014particulur- ly women\u2014tend to concentrate on style and ignore health and :omfort factors.That is why so any of us sufler from fopt ailments of one kind or another.Unsuitable and poorly-fitting snoes are chiefly responsible for foot disorders \u2014 which is why chiropodists stressthe importance of proper footgear.On the basis of my own practice and the experience of hundreds of other foot doctors.we have learned that light, flexible, all-leather shoes are best from the viewpoint of both health and comfort.\u2018 Leather uppers and soles have been found tp be an important factor in foot health, because the fibrous structure of leather permits \u201cbreathing\u201d\u2014that is, it allows the foot to receive air and evaporate perspiration, at the same time that it provides the necessary firmness and support.Here are a few siraple rules to follow when buying your next air of shoes: their business.Only a minor fraction of their time is taken up by directing and checking up on their subordinates.In doing their jobs well, man- f.gement people recognize the value and need of adequate helpers, They know that the best practice depends on such a vast range of experience and knowledge that no one man can master it all.No | improvement, whereas the all-so- ;common belief \u201cthings are going bring only a falling-off, or at least a lack of advancement and consequent stagnation, in production.Standardization The result of diligent effort by men, wise planning by management, and efficient running of machines, is mass production of things people want.It may be said that the great value of standardization to both producer and user is that it relegates the problems that have been already solved to their proper place, namely, to the field of routine, thus leaving our critical and constructive faculties free for problems that are still unsolved.When the housewife can tele- phone for a tin of so-And-so's something, knowing that that brand is a standard; when the, executive can order an engine or a machine, knowing that it will | mesh with his other machinery; when the accountant can turn with confidence to the side-by-side com- | parison of his findings \u2018with those, of other accountants in other firms, knowing that they are working to identical standards: then we see standardization as an indispensable ally of modern living.Judging by nature we may be sure that if there is a fault in i paroles dette | PHONE 342 This is definitely top-manage- \u2018ment\u2019s responsibility, but top man- | \u2018agement should go right down the (line to the machine operator in \u2018search of ideas for improvement.Any executive who has under him people who are doing a job that gives trouble by causing Dbottle- necks, or consumes the time of | |\u2018expediters\u201d who must chase around after it, or requires numerous forms, reports aud tracing memos «\u2014that executive might well give yhis personal attention to remedial measures.i What should he seek to do?He needs to find out how to eliminate | useless handling, how to combines processes, how to change the sequence of operations, how to simplify procedures, so that the job \u201cmarches\u201d from order form to delivery sheet.| The real programme of work simplification 1s getting everyone into the act.Make it everyone\u2019 programme, says Mr.Mogensen, and you'll find that you'll get the\u2019 response you need and the results, you want.The Executive Who is to organize all this?An army must have its chief and its! consulting aids as well as men in| its ranks.There must be cog-wheels \u2018as well as fly-wheels on a machine.the The organizer and chief in business is the executive.He is the! man who sees visions and knows along all right so why meddle\u201d will | ship's captain has a pilot's license for all habours.Efficiency : | Here are two definitions of \u201ceffi ciency\u201d.Efficiency is the expenditure of a given amount of energy so wisely directed that a task is completed in the least possible space and after the least possible lapse of time.The efficiency of an engine is the ratio of the total useful work done by the engine to the total heat energy of the fuel consumed.The first is from volume one of the Modern Business Library of the Alexander Hamilton Institute; the second was given in an address by Lewis S.Beattie, Superintendent of Secondary Schools in the Province of Ontario.Either definition is a good working guide for executives seeking to work better and easier.There are many efficiency principles, but none stands alone.Each supports and strengthens all the others; each is supported and strengthened by the rest.They take note of the fact that to eliminate loss is just as much of an efficiency measure as to increase gain.They recognize that a balance must be kept so that customers get a good product, workers have job satisfaction, and investors receive attractive returns.Carrying the definitions of efficiency into the realm of people, we find that our task is to discover conditions under which a | worker is most likely to attain his full self-realization and\u2014as a re- Boys\u2019 Wear | sult\u2014reach the Highest degree of how to make them cofñe true in | efficiency in achievement, with con- concrete: he is the man who observes clearly and turns his observations inte fact.sequent benefit to his firm.An aid toward this ideal is the Pre Winter Special GABARDINE STATION WAGON COATS % length for only $9.95 BROWN - BLUE - GREEN Sizes 24 - 34 | Overcoats -Breeches-Ski Caps J.H.DEMERS & SON TAILORS - MEN'S WEAR HUNTINGDON \u2018 | It is fatal to any plan for plant efficiency if it is based upon the\u2019 idea that only the man atthema- chine needs to be improved.The jexecutive must be on his toes con- | inually for his own improvement, jto keep his mind alert and open, ito improve his job, and to work jfrom there on down.Today's executive requires tech- | nica knowledge about his business, but much more than that he needs planning and organizing ability, | the ability to win his staff to his way of thinking, skill in conveying his ideas, power of leadership to {inspire team work, and a long view of his job and his business.In applying these qualities toward making work easier and better, the executive needs to follow sound principles and to avoid expedients which, while serving for the time being store up trouble for the future.He needs patience, because it may take months or years for his new methods to seep down to machine level and become routine.He will make allowances for efforts, though they fail, and give praise for successes, however little.He will have learned the art of conceding lesser points in order to gain greater.The Supervisor The supervisor, the man on the F CALVERT HOUSE £ (vies OISTHLERS LIMITED, AMNE î and there's another Welcome for you.7\" CALVERT HOUSE PH Canadian Wesky sstivio, rt) floor-level of the workers, needs qualities that are much the same.He must have sympathy, imagination, interest, eagerness,\u2018and a sense of justice.To take the executive's plan, suggest improvement based upon his day-to-day contact with workers and machines, and put it into \u2018effective uge, is primarily the responsibility of the supervisor.~ Both executive and supervisor should have, pre-eminently, judgment.Having laid a plan on the line, they need to know what variable to alter as the experiment proceeds.Technical knowledge and intellectual skill make judgment easier, seemingly intuitive wit to stand up for the right thing, to make the right changes, and to decide how far to go.Executives need the ability to control without restricting.Delegation of responsibility is an important management function.It should be done in such a way that the duty and authority \u2018of every subordinate is clearly understood by nim and by those who work with Delegation doesn't consist in cali- ing in department heads and telling them: \u2018This is what I want done; this is the way to do it.\u201d It means, rather, inviting them to confer, and asking them: \u201cIs {his the best thing to do?is this the best way to do it?\u201d and then saying: \u201cNow go and get it done.\u201d The old-fashioned executive is always overworked and he is borne down by the weight of responsibility he insists on carrying.The modern executive and supervisor spend a lot of their time do- but do not replace the this making of routine tasks as habitual and automatic as possible, thus leaving the thinking part of |us unfettered for enjoyment and improvement.Some self-training will invrease efficiency vastly.For example, there are many executives who have found their whole day made easier by tackling their most unpleasant or most difficult task first, and disposing of it.Others have learned to change direction frequently, moving from one area of their responsibility to an- oifier.Still others have nô partie- | ular order of business, but do make it a rule to wort Siéädilÿ and relax periodically: Ability concentrate is a great help.It is developed by getting down to work at once, without the wasteful \u201cwarming up\u201d period some temperamental people profess to believe is necessary.Tackling one Job at a time, devoting to it whatever time is necessary, is the acme of concentration.Planw™/g Organization designed to make one's own work or one\u2019s firm\u2019s work better and easier is composed of several factors, among them being: analysis, planning, consulting, convincing, instructing, reviewing, and revising.First of all there must be an objective.If a man doesn\u2019t know to what port he is steering, no wind is favourable to him and it doesn't make much difference how hard he pulls on the oars, What the objective shall be is a matter for decision after analysis.Where are the weak spots in your organization?As a first breakdown it might be well to list all areas of possible trouble: purchasing, scheduling, machining, recording, selling, relations with the staff and with the public, and so on.Then take each of these and break it down into segments, For example, consider the purchase of raw materials (whether for a glant factory or for a small household) in way: are we getting the best value in price, quality, dependable supply, nearness of source?Then take each of these and divide it further: is the price right in view of competitive conditions: is it enhanced by some requirement of ours: which might be eliminated without harming.our product; could we use a substitute, or part substitute, without lowering our finished-product quality?The nature of the questions to be asked will depend upon the kind of business that is being analysed, but some sort of effective questioning by a searching and competent and open mind is necessary.The executive or the supervisor or the manager 0 carries out such an analysis, even in the seemingly most efficient plant, will uncover bottlenecks, red tape, unnecessary paper work, waste of time through crooked-line progress of material, and loss of energy due td unneeded activity, Having made the analysis, the inquisitive executive will wish to ing things else do, thinking about the development of ask of every detail: what is actt- Ally being Cône: Is it being done in is that during this spree of shoe » 0 Ch ER: CE » A iN RR Flexible all-leather shoes help preserve foot health \u2014 ee Have both feet measured in a standing position.Take the size called for by the longer of the two feet, since nearly all people have feet of unequal size.See that the widest part of the foot rests comfortably at the widest part of the shoe.Make sure that there is at least one-half inch of space between your toe and the tip of the shoe.the right place by the right person at the right stage of manufacture \u2014or how can it be improved?W.R.Clark, of Simpson-Sears Ltd.would have executives pursue the questioning train even further.In an article in Business Management of April he urges that the person seeking improvement in organization or performance should ask: \u201cWhy is this s0?\u201d and continue asking \u201cWhy?\u201d until he is sure that he has a satisfactory answer, Having reached this point it is time to work out a better method than the one in force, and this is done, after consultation with all who might help in the change or who will be affected by it, by eliminating, rearranging, combining, simplifying, standardizing, Work simplification, as developed by Mr.Mogensen- and taught to top business managers at Lake Placid, is simply a means of getting everyone in your company to think about better methods and to suggest workable ideas for improvement.The best suggestions invari- aply come from the people doing the job, once they have been given the incentive and taught the habit.The story of a successful plant should be not merely a story of mass production, but an example of enthuslastic creative teamwork.That spirit is engendered \u2018and fostered when workers learn what is going on and why, what is the trouble, who is off the beam, and what can be done about it.\u2018 Communication of Ideas This demands adequate com- seen of ideas throughout the organization.Channels up, down and across the board from: ma- chine-tender to president need to be kept open.Executives who tried the consultative method in conjunction with communication of ideas after long years of authoritarian management were surprised by what they found out.Few employees realized that problems existed\u2014and how «ould they be expected to, if they were not told?Pew knew of the benefit they would share by making their jobs easier.Many did not know their jobs, or the significance of their jobs, in any great detail.A humorous example given by a steel corporation executive was quoted in Office Executive, the official publication of NOMA, the National Office Management Association: \u201cIn one of our plants a few years ago,\u201d he said, \u201can alert head of one of our office departments \u2018heard a lady typist say, \u2018For years ! have been writing these reports about the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly ingot production.What in the world is an ingot?\u201d Simple language is needed, and definite content.Anyone in charge of a department should be qualified to issue suggestions, instructions, and requests in such simple language that they cannot be misunderstood.The object may be to describe some discovery, to convey some idea, to stir up interest, to invite participation, to incite- to action, Air Conditioning Yes, you can have clean air is a real space-saver You'll be surprised to te your home !

which were held last Tuesday afternoon, Nov.10, from the residence of his parents to the Presbyterian Church in Chrysler.The Smirle boy, wno was 20 years of age, was the son of Mr.and Mrs.Jake Smirle, cousins of the Steven family.He was electrocuted while crossing a roadside fence which was charged with high voltage electricity from a broken power wire.The sleet storm of the previous Saturday broke a lmb from a tree near the large hen- house on the Smirle farm which housed about 600 héns.The tree\u2019 limb brought down one of the power wires and this set fire to a haystack which was built under this particular_tree.The burning haystack ignited the nearby hen- house and it was while attempting to cross the fence to go to the fire that the Smirle boy was killed.It was thought at first by those arriving at the fire that Mr.Smirle was in the burning hen-house but with the finding of his body two or three hours later with his hand still holding the wire, this was proved to be wrong.Although it was impossible to save the hen- house, 200 of the 600 hens were taken out by helpers at the fire.These had to be sold later due to injuries and fright.The church at Chrysler was filled to overflowing with relatives, friends and neighbours.He leaves besides his sorrowing parents, oné brother and five sisters, two of them twins.Mr.Real Lecavalier, who operates Quesnel\u2019's Meat _Market at

VIEMORIALS \u2018may take a variety of forms but there=is none so effective as that which does a major good in the* public interest, sach as, for instance, a bequest to an institution devoted to public welfare.For through such legacies those who bequeath them render a service to humanity that keeps their memories green and their names honored.Two worthy examples of this are the late Sam and Ida Cottingham of Ormstown, Modest and unassuming in their lifetimes, they bad apparently given much thought to what greatest good their money might do for others when their own need of it had ceased.And thereby they have earned the gratitude of all who will be benefitted through the high quality of service which their bequest will help to maintain.Their first consideration was for the hospital in their bwn community.They knew it had to cope with financial problems eculiar to hospitals; problems which could be solved only by public and private generosity.Thus a full third of the entire estate was bequeathed to the Barrie Memorial Hospital .a generosity which will be remembered as long as the hospital itself.stands.The Barrie Memorial benefits to the extent of $21,478.68, plus the Executor\u2019s fees which were also donated to the hospital.The reasoning of the late Sam and Ida followed that of all intelligent and public- spirited individuals who have given thought Age Of FUTURE Historians may have a little difficulty in deciding on a name for the present age.\u201d They may agree that the so-called Victorian age really continued until 1914.There had been some social changes before that year, but the shock of war per- cipitated so many changes in so few years that 1914 now seems to be a landmark dividing old-fashioned from modern ways, It is doubtful whether the name, The Atomic Age, can be accepted as likely to endure.If atomic energy is used for power plants, it will probably make quite a difference to civilization, but will not change general conditions to the same extent that other forms of power production have done.If a world war should come, with full-scale use of atomic weapons, the name would be suitable, but nobody might survive who would be interested in using it.A tentative suggestion is that the present era be called the Age of Problems.Since 1914 everything seems: to be a problem, from what to do about Korea to how to bring up children.In contrast, all previous ages seem to have been ages of decisions to the two principal reasons for hospital deficits.When a person is considered indigent, the Municipality in which he resides and the Province co-operate under the Quebec Public Charities Act to pay the hospital $4.20 per day only, although the actual average cost per patient per day is approximately $11.50 and the hospital has to absorb the loss.Again, there are a number of persons requiring hospitalization who may earn just a trifle above the minimum allowed by the Quebec Public Charities Act, but who are in no position to pay for the necessary hospital care.And none of these can or should be refused admission.Also there are.many others whose circumstances nmke it impossible to pay more than a very small amount periodically, and whose accounts sometimes drag on for long months, again at a loss to the hospital.cumstances, the only wonder is that a hospital deficit does not become much greater than it actually is.Considering these factors it can readily be seen that, apart from whatever provincial ant may be received, it is only through onations, and bequests from such bene- volent-minded persons as the late Sam and Ida Cottingham, that a hospital can continue to function effectively, and certainly of them as of others equally considerate it can be said, \u201cTheir Name Liveth .\u201d Problems and solutions.Matters like the Korean affair were settled forcibly, and the settlers did not care what Indians or Siamese or even Koreans thought about the method of settlement.Children were also brought up on a system of rewards for good conduct and _ punishment for bad.Today, in spite of the armistice, Korea remains a problem, and statistics of juvenile delinquency suggest that there may have been something of value in the old-fashioned theories of rearing children.Living may be more complicated than it was a few decades ago, but it might be simpler if people would stop dignifying everyday occurrences as problems.The word carries two dangerous connotations: (1) that the matter in question is very difficult to decide, and (2) that it should be left to experts.When everything is treated as a problem instead of as a stimulus to common-sense action, nothing is accomplished, and a sense of frustration attacks everyone except the experts, who dare not recognize it, lest they lose their professional status.Important Highways Converging On Town SINCE our editorial on the possibility of Huntingdon being at the crossroads of an important highway between Ontario and New York, there has been much comment.Some view the possibility with fear as to the traffic conditions in the town if such a highway came through here.With conditions as they are, traffic at the Henderson Street Bridge becomes very dense at times and practically at every point in town problems are presented from time to time.If we add to this a picture of what could happen if through traffic in each direction between New York and points in Ontario were using this same direction, one can easily imagine the result.At a recent press conference, Premier Duplessis told newsmen that he favoured super highways skirting towns rather than going through them and causing congestion and accidents within the towns themselves.At the present time we have one highway going through our town and this goes through one of the narrowest streets and the business section at that.We know the bottlenecks this causes, but what of the bottlenecks that would come if another main highway crossed it within town.It is points such as this that our Town Council\u201d should discuss with the future in mind.We have parking problems now, what would they be like if more and more traffic is directed through our town.Would such a highway through town make an increase in business, or would it drive local business away.The advantages and disadvantages should all be weighed against each other in making a decision as what we want.Buf action and planning are needed now before it is too late.If such a highway is going through here, then the Town Council should know where it is going and whether it is satisfactory to them and the people.If not satisfactory, now it may be changed, but if left it may be too late to change and we may have cause for regret.President Eisenhower\u2019s Visit IT is a long time since the President of The United States visited Canada, but this visit the past week from President Eisenhower had been a long looked forward to event.Much was expected from the visit but little is in evidence at this time.However, we cannot tell what it will bring forth in the future.One expected item did not come forth and that was the relief for the Dairy industry in the way of allowing more dairy exports into the United States and a lowering of the bars against certain of the products that have been effected lately.This in itself was a great disappointment to dairy farmers as it would mean so much to them at this time.But President Eisenhower told the parliament in his talk that he cannot do anything in the matter at this time as it would damage the industry in his own country which is having its own bad time.No doubt the President learned much from his visit to this country and talking with the heads of our government.No doubt he learned much about the way our parliament #s conducted and he would probably wonder at our balanced budget and the sur- plusses we have had for the past few years.He will probably go back with a knowledge of much of what this country is doing in the matter of national defence.National defence here is national defence for the United States also, Canada is ,(tBe buffer zone between Soviet Russia and the U.S.A.The friendliness and the close proximity of the two countries demands more of these visits in order that each can understand the other better.There needs to be the closest of co-operation between the US.A.and Canada in all things.Our trade needs to be well looked after and our markets need to be studied with great care.We do not want to put barriers in each others way for such could easily cause friction that could be avoided by a little more thought and consideration.The U.S.A.should be careful of using Canada as a dumping ground for products while perhaps barring entrance to products from Canada.We are so closel allied in what we do that injury can result to both by an inconsidered action While nothing very important appears to come from the visit of the U.S.President at the moment, we can never tell what the future may bring.As things settle down we may see the results in various concessions on the part of both countries.Under the cir-~ Random Glimpses of The Past Taken from Gleaner Files 1915 ber 2

tensions can be relieved.The Free World, I deeply believe, holds firmly to this faith, striving earnestly towards what is just and equitable.It believes that practical problems should be solved by
