PROTECTING USERS OF ELECTRICITY The announcement in Thursday's Reformer that the Provincial Hydro Electric Power Commission has in mind the providing of additional transmission lines to ensure power users of an uninterrupted supply of current was welcomed hy consumers. Experiences of the past have demon- sirated that unforeseen breakdowns are bound to - oceur occasionally, which cause the power to be off for from a few minufes to several hours, Buch interruptions cause inconveni ences in hundreds of homes, and to manufacturers dependent on electric- ity to operate machinery loss of time, which frequently is serious. Breakdowns of this nature cannot be avoided. The Hydro Commission at present makes every possible effort to ensure an uninterrupted service by patrolling the transmission lines | ix} frequently, and making a careful in-| spection of all machinery, switches, ete. Thus the best possible service with a single transmision line is be- ing given, \ It is evident however, that the Provincial Commission realizes, as did the Board of Trade ago, that the only way to improve sometime it taken promptly, *ghould prevent the enacting of a law. which would make scraps of paper of municipal agreements, i -- EDITORIAL COMMENT Most accidents can be avoided by presence of mind and absence of body. As a summer pastime let us hope the killing of sweethearts does not increase popularity. It is probably because of the hope that international relations. will be improved thereby that Premier Lloyd jeorge entertained Willlam Randolf Hearst at dinner, but Canadians are not enamored at seeing the . rabid anti-British journalist so dined in the heart of the Empire.

At the close of a day well spent, per- haps you will sit awhile and think about the days and years spent with us and the fellowship we have en- joyed together.

Cotten, pastor, and R. I, Bennett, 8. 3. Supt, i Oshawa, June 1st, 1922, Mr. Manuel responded on behalf of hig family, thanking them for the kind appreciaton of their efforts and expressing his regret at leaving Osh awa where he had so many kind fri- ends. The lawn was prettily decorated for the occasion and a large number of members of both church and Sun- day School were present, testifying to the high esteem in which Mr, and Mrs. Manuel were held, "A Whiffler" 'A woman in a New England town had a small fea-room with a large trade, There every day scores of people came to eat her prize pump- kin pie, drink her fragrant tea, and enjoy her cheery smile and hopeful compathy, Some one remarked to her that she had made a great success of her tea-room, "Yes," she replied; "I was bound that son John should have a gcod education. His father and I always felt mortified because we had so lit- tle book learnin', so after my man ,| them, died I kept at my job of ple-makin' till everyhody knew they couldn't get ple like mine anywhere else in the town, and so they flocked to my place, So, speakin' in symbols, as our minister says, John was punkin'- pied through college, and 1 looked for him to cut a big™ligger in the world. But I'll had to own up that he's a whiffler. Sometimes he fan- cles hein' a doctor, and ag'in he hankers to he a preacher, and then he thinks that lawyerin' would jest suit him. Now he's talkin' farmin', He gets discouraged dreaful easy, and drops everything almost before he's well took it up." Are you a whiffler? If not, you are fortunate, for the woods are full of There are whifflers in busi- trades and occupations, There are whifflers in sects and creeds and denominations, always being blown about by some new whiff of doctrine. And there are whifflers in personal religious ex- perience, never staying long enough with any spiritual impulse to receive any lasting benefit of enjoyment out of it. You have seen lots of people who were whifflers in their occupations. They would never stick to any one thing long enough to make a success of it, Just as soon as they strike a difficulty they throw up the job and the occupation and try something else, instead of sticking to it and overcoming the difficulty. Such peo- ple become "Jack-of-all-trades and ness, in masters-of-none," and never accom- plish anything worth while in life, We do not mind a measure of uncer- tainty in young people who are just feeling their way, and trying to find out what their talents and tastes qualify them to do. But by the time men reach mature years, they ought to have discovered themselves and concentrated their whole powers and enthusiasm on one thing to make it a success, You have known whifflers in sects and creeds, shooting off with every new thing which came along. Once in a little Ontario city we met a min- ister returning from a visit to one of his. woman parishoners who had just gone off with some new ism which had recently blown in, like the Col- orado potato hug, from the Western States, "Well, what luck?" we inquired. "Did you reeover your lost sheep?" (Contiued on page eight) Whitby Methodist District Reports Will be a never-ending rain, Look up and smile! Though clouds , are dark, Believe the sun will shine again. You cannot see a ray of light? And think must grope In heavy-hearted wretchedness Along a path devoid of hope?

After a carefully prepared program of vo- cal numbers, readings and instrumen- tals was rendered, refreshments were served and then the Sunday School and Church combined presented Mr and Mrs. Manuel with a pair of hand some wicker rockers in appreciation of their Rev. E. T. Cotton made the presentation and read the following address: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Manuel: This is one of the occasions when we realize that there are some things in life which cannot be adequately deseribed by words. We have taken advantage of the present social gath- ering in your home to endeavor (o express to you in some way the cs services, | teem in which vou are held by those who know you best; the appreciation of your diligent Christian service, and a sense of our loss which must inevitably follow your departure to a new field of labor. Every department of the Church and Sunday School has felt the in- fluence of your experience and every office which you have filled has been your careful attention and prayerful endeavor. To state even briefly your connection with the ac tivities of the church during the past years would be to revieW the history of the church, For this rea- son we wish to express our apprecia- tion of your united service in a gen eral way as it has made itself felt and will continue to influence the life of the church, the Sunday School, the Prayer Service and the Ladies' Adult Bible Class.

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT--The Dominion Alloy Steel Corporation, Limited, will erect at Sarnia, Ont., a modern Alloy Steel plant with open hearth and electric furnaces, rolling mills, machine shops, laboratories, etc., to produce Alloy and High Grade Carbon steels, particularly for the automotive and allied industries, and sheet steel specialties which are being imported in large tonnage annually. The plant will be with the growth of the Alloy Steel industry and who are recognized as the leaders in the United States in developing Vana- dium and other Alloy steels. The Canadian plant will have an initial output of sufficient tonnage to supply plants in Canada with requirements that are now imported from the United States. EARNINGS--The proceeds of the present financing will permit the Company to ereet a modern plant that will show handsome profits. Construetion will commence as soon as engineering plans are completed, and the furnaces and rolling mill equipment will be available for production in about twelve months. No period of experimental work will be encountered, as the Canadian plant will duplicate the modern equipment now used by the most successful Alloy Steel plants in the United States. No Preferred Stock is being allotted to anyone for services, patents or goodwill, and the Directors are subscribing in cash for all Preferred Stock being issued 0 them. The profits on Alloy Steel per ton are, of course, much greater than upon ordinary steel and the patents under which the Com- pany will operate in producing certain steels will be valuable. Practically all Alloy steel used in the production of Motor Cars is imported and as the manufacturer has to pay a duty, plus high freight rates and exchange, and with a low rate for electric power, the new Company will be in a particularly favorable position. MANAGEMENT--The Company has assoclaied with it men who in different branches of the steel industry have gained pre-eminence and under whose guidance the policies of the Company will be carried out. Mr. Harry Ross Jones joined the United Alloy Steel Corporation, Canton, in 1904, and under the management and Presidency it has shown remarkable profits and growth. This growth is almost entirely due to the success of the Company in specializing in the development of Alloy Steel. Associated with Mr. C. Harold Wills, Mr. Jones has been largely respon- sible for the commercial success of Vanadium Steel. Mr. William B. Boyd, M.1LLE.E., is one of Canada's chief consulting engineers and has been associated with the Steel Industry in Canada and the United States, and has been Consulting Engineer with some of Canada's largest electrical devel- opments. His early association with the Illinois Steel Company in the United States and later with Dominion Irom and Steel Corporation together with his intimate knowledge of modern electrical equipment has given him a wide experience that will be of great value in the construction and laxout of the Plant. Mr. George A Simpson was formerly associated in the Steel Industry in the United States, and for the past eight years has been Sales Manager and Speciai Representative of the Steel Company of Canada, Limited, at Hamilton. His association and experience in the Steel Industry, both in the United States and Canada, brings to the Company knowledge of inesti- mable value. Mr. C. Harold Wills was associated wtih Mr. Henry Ford during the great development of that Company, and is pow building the "Wills Sainte Claire," known throughout the world as the "Molybdenum Steel" car, which introduces a new era into motor car construction. The Company will have the use of Mr. Wills' Molybdenum Steel patents in Canada. Mr. J. J. Mahon for many years Chief Engineer of the Crucible Steel Company, Newark, has designed and built many large plants throughout the United States and is a consulting engineer of international reputation. He was brought to Can- ada during the war by the Imperial Munitions Board and supervised the production of shell steel throughout Canada. The Canadian Directors are men of highest standing in their different spheres and have an intimate knowledge of Canadian conditions and requirements. SITE--The Company will build its plant on the River Ste. Claire at Sarnia, Ontario, on a site, ideally situated as re- gards receiving ore, coal and scrap material and where they can ship by water the finished product at low freight cost to the consumer. A very large tonnage of Alloy Steel is at present consumed within a radius of sixty miles of Sarnia. The property provides ideal foundations for heavy construction and the combined rate on ore and coal is very favor- able. The coal rate to Sarnia is one of the lowest on the Great Lakes, owing to the large number of boats going up the Lakes and passing this site. SALE OF PRODUCT--The Company, unlike most new industries, does not have to create a new market for its pro- duct in Canada. Practically all the steel used in motor cars in Canada is imported, the Ford Motor Company alone import- ing a large tonnage yearly of Alloy and High Grade Carbon Steel, which the Company states, is mot procurable in Canada. Automotive manufacturers have readily seen the great advantage of this material and their advertising abounds with ref- erence to parts made lighter and stronger by the use of Alloy Steel. General Motors Corporation is now shipping from Osh- awa practically their eutire export demands for their many makes of cars, and the Alloy steel for practically all the various parts is imported. The Dominion Alloy Steel Corporation, Liimited will produce sufficient to supply the tonnage at present consumed in Canada with particular attention to standard requirements of the automotive industry. Steel can be produced at Sarnia at a low cost of production owing to the extremely favorable rates on ore, coal and electricity. FUTURE--Alloy steel should not be confused with ordinary steel usell in bridge and building construction, rails, plates, étc., at present manufactured in Canada. it has been found that Alloy steels attain their best qualities through treatment by the electric furnace and the grow- ing use of "electric furnace steel" has heen widespread. Particularly has the automotive manufacturer been more and more drawn to this steel. The regularity, ease and eco- nomy with which the physical properties of Alioy steel may be developed and maintained during manufacture has convinced everyone of its absolute necessity in successful quantity production. The total cost of the finished product of the quality required is the measure of the "commercial" value of a steel. The use of Alloy steel is, therefore, growing with startling rapidity.
