They have built a substantial cement base for the pole, and all that now has to be' done is to secure a suitable pole and put it in the place prepared for it. : After the flagpole comes the flag. Out in the schools of the West the flag is raised and saluted every. morn- ing just before the opening of school, and at the close of school it-is lowered and put carefully away.

Las | ~ OUR NEW WORLD OF it ~ MATERIALS i : This thing called modern grows out of an ancient craving for simplicity and clarity, but it is a matter of materials as well. The lite and chromium steel, Within a decade new metals, plastics, ! * and cellulose products have invaded every phase of life, influencing ~~ ® decoration and design, our homes and living. : : Bi] id When most péople think of the modern--if they have been : educated to think past zig-zags and lunatic curves--they think of metal; tables, chairs that set on two legs, lamps, ashtrays-- *. gadgets of all description. . We call all these shiny things "chro- ~~" mium" but most of them are either stainless steel, the outstanding ~ alloy of chromium, or chromium plate. : i Chromium, a crumbly grayish stuff, is worthless alone, but mixed with other metals it adds a toughness which makes them all but indestructible, It is the secret of the armor plate on our battleships. It has all the metallic virtues: will not rust, stain, nor corrode. Sometime back, a féw chromium steel plates on top of the Chrysler building, exposed in all sorts of weather, were sent © to the laboratory for examination. Not one particle of rust or cor- 5 h ¢ rosion had appeared. The plates on the Chrysler Tower and the ~ "5 Empire State building are made of "18-8" chrome-nickel-steel, ot 18 per cent. chromium, 8 per cent. nickel, 74 per cent. steel. It is the same thing your kitchen sink is made of, and milk cans, flat- ware, beer barrels and heaven knows what, : . A new process of sand-blast etching on stainless steel was shown at the Chicago Fair, which holds all sorts of decorative possibilities, So far it has only been used in elevator door panels but the next few years may see mantles, screens, doors and foyer halls'in our homes done with something of the sort. igh Plating with chromium on baser and more corrosive metals ©. gives them a hard durable finish. Copper coated with chromium pi 'will not turn green, silver will not tarnish, and iron will not rust. Platinum jewelry is often given a chromium wash to keep it from turning dark and render it scratch proof. ; : If we have given you the idea that chromium is the eighth wonder and the philosopher's stone rolled into one, remember there is still bakelite., ; 4 : "Bakelite" was an entirely new basic material invented by Dr. 5 1.. H. Backeland in 1907. He found that when carbolic acid.and 7° formaldhyde were put together they reacted and formed a residue ' which molded under heat and pressure, would turn solid. All - sorts of substances, such as mica, asbestog, and fabrics, could be mixed with it before it was molded. ~~ Bakelite was firat adopted by an electrical company because of E 8 high insulating power. Then the automobile industry took it "up and nearly all gears and many other machine parts are made of ~ bakelite. It was years before anybody thought of beautification. 'Now bakelite takes many forms---clear and crystal like glass cloudy like amber, mottled like marble, and heavy, black and opaque.

L] Myrtle Station Our. annjversary services were a grand succeds. There was an excel- lent attendance at the morning sersd vice, and at the evening session the church was almost filled to capacity. Rev. W. E. Hazzard proved to be a brilliant speaker and held the at- tention of a very appreciative aud- ience on both occasions. The Brook- lin male choir, who provided the even- ing music, consisted of twenty voices, and they. delighted the congregation with their pleasing music, especially Mr. Thompson's solo. The local choir did well at the morning service. Miss Betty Myers, of Oshawa, assisted the soprano. section while Mr. George Holliday assisted the bass, both of whom were much' apreciated. Next Sunday the service will be at 8 p.m. and Sunday School at 1.45. Mrs. Arthur Crosier and daughter 'Mildred, of Manchester, on Sunday, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Thompson. . . Mr, Will.

Mrs. Easterbrook and baby of Oshawa, were visitors of her sister- in-law Mrs. Cross, last week. The W.M.S. meeting was held at the home of Mrs. O. H. Downey last Thursday and was very well attended. In the absence of the President, the Vice-President, Mrs. H. Hudgins, had charge of the meeting. The devotion- al period was taken by Mrs. Cross and Mrs. Leury. Ten members answered the roll call. The topic for the meet- ing was "Stewardship" and was very capably taken by members of the Auxiliary. Mrs. C. Harrison sang a solo. A letter from the Temperance Dept. of the Dominion Board, was read, urging members to agree to the following resolution and forward it to Premier Henry: 'Resolved that we commend the Premier of Ontario for his persistent refusal heretofore to accede to the demands of the Modera- tion League, and assure him that we are absolutely opposed to the sale of wine and beer in hotels, restaurants and clubs," This was signed by the President and Secretary. .

At noon it looked as if the car would be filled twice over, and a second car would be necessary to hold the gifts. A long line of trucks, loaded with apples, potatoes,, turnips, carrots and other vegetables, stood waiting their turn to unload into the refrigerator car, while many people had brought their contributions in the form of sacks of potatoes and apples, in their automobiles.

"We visited the county jail and find that itis excellent condition, clean and sanitary, reflecting great credit on the Governor and staff, but falls far short of standards now recognized for institutions of this kind. We would recommend that immediate attention be paid to the requests of the Grand Jury on June 13, 1933, as to the fire- proof files for records and a safe re- pository for valuables, also that the order for scales for weighing incoming and outgoing prisoners made 'two years ago 'be immediately complied with. . "The construction .of a basement with prison labor and available ma- terial would enable certain much need- ed improvements to be made in cells which are altogether too small and out of date; also would provide necessary storage for roots and vegetables, . "We recommend that a 'compre- hensive plan be made to modernize this institution, and CBunty Council are hereby requested to put a fixed amount in their yearly budget to allow the Governor of the jail to utilize his available labor and material as far as possible to bring this plan to com- pletion. - "We visited the House of Refuge and have nothing but commendation to make with regard to the way in which this institution appears to be conducted.

The estimated cost is about $4000, which will be raised by debenture issue. As the amount is small it is expected that these will be sold locally, The rate of interest and the term of years to run were not settled, but in view of the reduced rate of interest being paid by the Banks it was felt by members of the Council that it should be possible to get the money for a lower rate than has been paid on the last issue.

The following item was printed in the Statesman, on Oct. 19th, 1883, fifty years ago and will be of interest to the older readers:- Williams- burg (Blackstock) is situated nearly in the centre of the township of Cart- wright in the County of Durham. It is 18 miles from Bowmanville station and will be about four miles from the nearest station on the Ontario and Quebec railway (Burketon)., Williams- burg is the capital of Cartwright so to speak; for it is here that the town- ship parliament meets regularly on the first Monday of each month, and township officials make it their head- quarters. The postal name of the village is Cartwright and it receives a daily mail from Bowmanville. The population is about 250. In the fall of 1847, a small log tavern, kept by Mr. James Tooley and a small store kept by Mr. James Fluke, now of Toronto, were the only houses on the present site of the village. The post- office wad established in 1853, with William Vance, postmaster, and it had a "weekly mail, two years later bi- weekly, and shortly afterwards a daily mail. There are four churches in the village, three brick and one frame. They are Church of England, Presbyterian, Bible Christian and Methodist. The ministers, respect- ively are Rev. J. Creighton, Rev. T. Atkinson, Rev. [E. Tonkin and Rev. Thos. Cleworth, On Sunday evening, October 156th, the members of the United Church choir met at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Clarence Marlow, after the church service and presented their retiring organist Miss Effie Wright with a faithful and efficient services.
