PAGE FOURTEEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1929 "Up into the seven figure class sent Frigidaire Corporation recently when its.one millionth mnit came down- & production track and in three hours was + assembled into a complete por- celain finished electric refriger- ator, all ready to freeze ice cubes. The above picture shows the millionth unit before being loaded into a Fokker plane for shipment to. Atlantic City to be featured in a display at a national con- vention. Lieut. J. A. Macready, former holder of "three world's aviation records, mow an em- loyee of the corporation, was e-Dilow He is shown bidding goodbye to company" officials. The inset shows E. G. Biechler, president and general manager. Sixty thousand two-ton trucks would be required to haul the 120,000 tons of ice which con- stitute the daily refrigerant equivalent of the million units already built, according to Mr. Biechler. This would amount to 25 pounds of ice every day of the year for 9,600,000 families. High explosive bombs crashed above the flag-bedecked factories as the one millionth unit moved down an assembly line. Captive balloons swayed above the bomb smoke, But there was no sound- 'inig- of whistles for even a short shut-down. The plants, although operating at twenty per cent above their maximum rated capacity, are far behind orders, and not even a five-minute pause in celebra- tion of the building of the one millionth unit was possible. Originally developed as a convenience for the household, Frigidaire equipment several years ago was adapted to gen- eral commercial refrigeration. There were but two household models in 1922, as contrasted with 27 today. The factory price of the smallest model is exactly one-fifth the factory price of the smallest model of seven years ago. Three nurses, holding Rockefel- ler. scholarships, are on their way to Montreal to attend the Inter- national Congress of Nurses there next week. ' They appear above as they were photographed.

Riding on the Roof of the Rockies COOKING DOWN THE MYST. VBI Pass HADOW LAKE UNDER THE DHADOW OF A mong the most spectacular of the Trail Rides ever attempted in the Canadian Rockies will be the one proposed to start August 8 and lasting 18 days, to take in a long distance ride to the Columbia Icefield from Lake Louise. This icefield is the largest body of glacial ice left on the North American continent covering 150 square miles and surrounded by peaks from ten to twelve thousand feet in height. The ride will be from Lake Louise up the Bow Val- ley to Bow Lake, over Bow Pass and by the Mistaya Valley past Waterfowl Lakes to the North Saskatch- ewan River, then up the xandra River Valley to Castleguard and the Columbia Icefields. Only Trail Riders hoiding at least the silvag button, em- hi ON. THE SASKATCHEWAN GLACIER ---- WATERFALL NEAR CASTLEGUARD T. BALL J blematic of completion of 100 miles of trail riding, will be permitted to join the expedition, since all taking part must satisfy the committee that they will not prove a burden to the rest of the party. For less experienced Trail Riders, or those who cannot spare the time, there will be a four-day ride starting from Banff August 1 and ending at Castle Mountain Bungalow Camp. It will take in the Egypt Lake district, which will be accessible for the first time this summer, so that those participating in this ride may regard themselves as pioneers. Belutiful Shadow Lake under Mount Ball will be the camp site of the riders on the second day out and, in all, seven glaciex-fed lakes will be on the route of the tied, AEMILIUS JARVIS WED IN VANCOUVER News reached Toronto yesterday of the marriage Wednesday in Vancouver of Miss Marion Gertrude Alexandra (May) Read, daughter of Mrs. Read of Van: couver, formerly of Liverpool, Eng., to Aemilius Jarvis, well known Torontc financier and yachtsman., Mr. Aemilius Jarvis Jr. was present in Vancouver for the marriage.

Indians were a source of continual danger in his youth; today they are an important part of the local attraction.
