G. Lorne Kelly, clerk in the Shell Gas. Station, was asphyxiated early on Tuesday morning at Oshawa in an empty gasoline tank car in which he was- believed to have been working. i Orville Board, a fellow clerk, and Con- : stable Willard Spencer, of the Oshawa , Police Force, were overcome®by the fumes and had a narrow escape from death when they attempted to rescue Kelly from the tank. Kelly is believed to have been in the tank which contained a small quan, tity of gasoline, for nearly two hours before he 'was discovered about one o'clock in the morning by Board and Spencer. When he was finally re- , moved from the tank his skin was him by his best girl 34 years ago and treasured by him as a lucky piece since then, now is worth $200 to E. Gregory, druggist, of Lindsay. When Mrs. Gregory gave him the bill as a lucky piece it was worth $1. This issue of the bill was recalled by the Federal treasury in 1886, two weeks after it was first issued because in a transcript of the American constitu- tion, reproduced of the bill, the word tranquillity was spelled with only one I. The owner of a similar bill in Sarnia has refused $200 for it. These are the only two known bills of this issue. 000m WELL TRAINED "Your mistress tells me, Jane, that you wish to leave us to become an at- + dance to music, eat to music, work to music. We gather for a game of bridge, or, more rarely, for an even- ing of conver and turns on the radio in the next room. Playgrounds are being equipped with musical facilities, and the trees of parks are in some instances being fit- ted with loud speakers. Every little village has' its band, possibly an or- chestra or choral society. Glee clubs are to be found in the high schools as well as the colleges. Recently an enterprising taxidriver in Paris in- stalled a radio in his cab in order to soothe restless fares during traffic fama 7 2 i ~~ There is, it seems, a definite move- ment to make. America musical in the / best sense. Last winter, it is estimated 8,000,000 people listened to the Satur- day evening concerts for the best of artists, In another generation we may have become as musical a people as the Germans. - { Along with this development of music as a cultural force there is an- other group that is aiming to put music to work. Many of us have found that we can work better,--pro- vided that we are not as sometimes put off our game altogether,--to an accompaniment of stirring music. This is ebpecially true if our tasks d d consentration. The fact has been re- co . through the ages. For * centuries, possibly from the time of the Pharaohs, the "chadouf" or bucket song has been sung along the banks of the Nile as the Egyption laborers 'bring up the river water to the fields.

It was a definite effort to increase ef- fici and t t in his plant. make music serve organized industry. A dry-cleaning establishment in the West, a hat-factory in Philadelphia, a drapery workroom in Los Angeles have all discovered the value of music. One manager says that music speedys up production during the lax hours from two till five. In Detroit several firms report that music has increased their output by ten percent: The American Steel and Wire Co., Shredded Wheat, the Corona Type- writer Company, the Westinghouse Electric, the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Co., Studebaker and Reo miotors, the Pennsylvania Railroad, Armour's are among the several hundred indus- trial organizations that encourage musical activities among their em- ployees. "My first step," said Chas. M. Schwab 'several years ago, "in taking over a new plant has been to 'improve the condition of the building. The second has been to organize musical interests in the plant or com- munity." A survey recently conducted by the National Association for the Advancement of Music reports that 32 panies allow the too 1 antiviti of their employees to be conducted company time, that 132 allow them to be conducted half on company time. One large department store gives 25 minutes of its working day to mass 'singing. The Los Angeles Chamber! of Commerce in 1922 established a de- | partment of industrial music.

FOR THE PAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS we have had the pleasure of an ever increasing patronage from Port Perry and district. This has now reached such proportions that it merits a closer contact, and a service second to none. TO MEET THAT DEMAND, we have established a yard at the plant of Swan Brothers. This yard is in charge of an old Port Perry resident, Mr. William Hodgson. Associated with him, and residing in Port Perry, is Mr. C. V. Gilbert. OUR PLEDGE TO YOU is the same as that on which our original business was established: Honesty of statement--no deceptions--no mixing of grades-- money back guarantees--perfect deliveries, and a genuine desire to be good citizens amongst you. WE WILL HAVE AN EXHIBIT AT PORT PERRY FAIR which will be interesting and will afford you an opportunity it may be very much to your advantage. -u mber Compa Ontario | ny |. Limited
