This 45-year-old company is a farmers' co-operative organization and has been the means of saving rural people many thousands of dollars in their insurance premiums | during its existence.

The other, "Motors on the March", deals with the grim present and is unmistak- ably a great industry's contribution 0 a great cause, the successful out- come of which will, perchance, make the producers' idea of "Futurama" come true. Car Program Advances Claude B. Watt, advertising manager of General Motors, acted as master of ceremonies and intro- duced J. E. Johnson, Director of Sales of General Motors, who wel- comed the newspaper men and briefly outlined the two films which were shown, He said that the 1941 car program of General Motors was well on the way and they hoped to exhibit the new McLaughlin- Buick and Pontiac very soon. Jack Chisholm, who was instru- mental in producing the Canadian- made film, was introduced to the gathering and given an enthusias- tic applause. Lyric phraseology which accompanied the showing of the film, "Motors on the March", was composed by Larry Gough, a young assistant. Between the show. ing of the two films, John Har- court, a radio artist, presented a patriotic song. Buffet Luncheon Following the preview, which was presented in the concert hall of the hotel, the guests were entertained Lat-a--bliffet luncheon in the Tudor | room, where the newspapermen had the pleasure of meeting executive officers of General Motors and those connected with the film pro- duced in the plants of = General Motors.

The film portrays a world which has been enriched by new concepts in science and research, new tech- nique in production and distribu- tion and a new conception of in- dustry as an integral part of the social and economic life of the na- tion.

Built In 1817 A short history of the late Eliakim Barnum was given by the speaker. He stated that the founder of the house came to Candda between the American Revolution and the War of 1812-14, While litt'e is now known of him, it is apparent that he was a man of affairs, retaining much of the shrewdness inherited from his Vermont ancestors. The present building was erected to replace one accidentally destroved by fire by troops who were biileted there dur- ing the retreat to Kingston of the defenders of Fort Yotk. It was com- pleted in 1817. Professor Wrong declared that visitors would be surprised at the spaciousness of its rooms as it was located practically ir: the wilds when it was built. When constructed it had no ipternal plumbing and it was not uncommon for three or four people to sleep in one room or even two or three in a bed. From all in- dications the house must have been a centre of entertainment and amusement for a large district as the late Col. Barnum was prosper- ous and a leader in the community. Officially declaring the house open to the public, the Lieutenant Governor declared that it was a pleasure for him to be present on such an occasion. It presented a fine opportunity to come out of the | gloom of present world conditions. It would be well, he said, on such an occasion, to look back into his- tory for inspiration Backward looks into history emboldens man to carry on. It was pointed out that the Arch- itectural Conservancy of Ontario was incorporated in 1933 with the view of preserving early architec- ture, Though many fine examples of this type of building are to be found in the United States, there are few really fine examples of 18th or early 19th century buildings in Canada was of first importance. The Honourable Mr. Matthews declared it was most fortunate that the Barnum House had been so well preserved. It might haye fallen prey to fire; while it might also have fallen into unsympathetic hands. If such had occurred a sun room might have been built onto the front. Stained glass might have been installed or an el- ectric sign might have been placed at the entrance. Excellence of Design "I firmly believe that no house of the size can excel this in excel- lence of design," Letting his mind wander in fancy, he said that the masons who built | the foundation might have been | thinking of war even as we today. It was also recalled that the house | was four years old when the tyran- nical Napoleon died at St. Helena. Plans Explained A short explanation of plans was given the gathering by Professor Eric Arthur, professor of architecture at the University Toronto. It was stated of Interior Decorators Ontario, the Canadian Guild, Ontario ises. When the money is available a of the present building to replace carriage sheds that were in uch repair they had to be demol- shed. In this section of the prem- ises will be a tea room and handi- craft shops. farm surrounding the buildings wil be offered to the Ontario Depart- ment of Lands and Forests to be planted. At present all the furnitute in' the house is lent. In time it is hoped tn build up a collection of fufniture 1 keeping with the period of the house and make it a museum own- ing its own furniture. It is also hoped to restore the pond which supplied the distillery « owned by the late Col. Barnum. Visitors were intrigued with the large old-fashioned fireplace in the kitchen with ite enclosed baking the | and heating ovens at one side. Also | to be seen were the candle moulds | and candlesticks of another gen- eration. Opening off a wide front | hall are two<large rooms, each with | a fireplace. One of the fireplaces is a splendid specimen of the Adam style with graceful urns carved in relief. World's 'History Easing In Four Short Sentences The current bulletin of the Indus- | trial Accident *Prevention Associa- tions issued to industrial executives throughout Ontario relates an inter- esting anecdote concerning Charles | A. Beard, considered by many auth- | orities as the greateet living Ameri- | can historian. Beard was asked whether he could sum up, in a short book, all. the He replied this in one page. In fact, he said, one could actually take all the teach- ings of the world's history and com- | bine them in four short sentences. The four sentences Beard quoted were: "Whom the gods would de- stroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slow- | ly, yet they grind exceeding fine. | The bee fertilizes tne flower it' robs . When'it is dark enough you can see the stars." There is a great deal of comfort and satisfaction for the student of present-day history in these re- markable sayings, comments the LAP.A. bulletin, a ------ a 2 ow Ajax Shows Her Teeth Again H.M.S.

Dr. Routley also announced that the Canadian Red Cross is sending five station wagons to England for use with the mobile surgical units of the Canadian Neurological Hos- pital. These are needed urgently to transport. officers to the spot where the surgical units are called to handle head injuries resulting from bombings. There is no accom- modation for the officers in the surgical: unite and they must be transported senardtely in the short. est possible time.

There was no option about the jail sentence. Charles Peters, a transient with a previous record that inclivied two appearances for vagrancy in the local court, was convicted of indecency. The offence occurred near a public path at the end of Nassau Street. Magistrate Ebbs commended the resident who re- ported the matter and gave evid- ence in court this morning. "We won't put up with men like you." he told the accused, in imposing a sentence of $50 and costs or 6 months in the county jail.

The assassin, who entered Mexico posing as a Canadian, Prank Jack- son, now is said to have been born in Teheran, Iran, son of a Belgian diplomat. Police say many letters in English, French and Russian were found in 'his hotel room.

Hope Fast Tanks Soon Plans were underway, he said, looking toward the possibility of production of tanks adapted both to training and to operations. Designs and models for these were in the hands of British and French ex- perts. The prospect was for fast, heavily powered tanks, the minister said. "We should have them off the line fairly rapidly if the hopes of the Minister of Munitions and Supplies are realized," he said. "They repre- sent much more than a hope in the mind of the department." He in- timated that production of the new tank would be a job for railway shops.

Advance in Measures Check Soil Drifting Considerable progress in the pro- motion of strip farming in the eon- trol of soil drifting in the Prairie Provinces was reported by the Reg- fonal Committee on Soil Drifting at the recent meeting of the Na- tional Advisory Committee on Agri. cultural Services held in Ottawa, by Dr. FE. S. Hopkins, Associate Direc- tor and Dominion Field Husband- man, Experimental Farms Service, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture, Chairman of the Committee. In 1935, the Committee reported, only a small area in the Mon- arch district of Southern Alberta adopted strip farming but by 1940 it was estimated that approximately 90 per cent of the farmers in South. ern Alberta and about 60 per cent. in Southwestern Saskatchewan were following this practice. Further accomplishments of the Regional Committee on Soil Drift- ing are to be found in the tillage methods that have been changed with adoption of surface tillage in nlace of nloughing in many districts. | This practice has materially assist- ed in controlling soil drifting. Many | | agencies have undertaken excellent work in promoting soil drifting con- trol measures, undef the Prairie Farm Rehabilita- tion Act. The Regional Committee has functioned in bringing together the views of the various co-operating agencies and promoting the dissem. inntion of this information, In the agenda of the future work of the have bs2n made for the continu- ance of the present program until | complele soil drifting control is ac- | complished through the extension of the program to areas where up to the present time no change in farm- ing methods has been undertaken. These regions include the park belt soils 'and certain regions in the three Prairie Provinces. ; Ks EAST YORK OUSTS OSHAWA (Continued from Page 2) much he was missed when put out of action. Bovin, who headed the attacks from the Oshawa end of the field, was also very much to the fore for the Cokes until he, too, had to go to the side-lines. Chuck Barron, with three goals in the second period, put Oshawa out in front, held this edge until the final min- ute. In the third period, Bovin and Barron scored early to put Oshawa three goals up but the visitors got two of them back before the per- 'iod ended. In the final frame, Johnson scor- ed to tie the score at 9-9 but Mec- Intyre's goal put Oshawa one up again, until Headley got his tally near the end. Cook, Barron, Bovin, Sanders and Bastine were the pick of the Osha- wa attackers while on the rear- guard, Pete Garrison, though beat- en twice on tough-luck goals after stopping .the original shot, turned in a sterling performance and was given yeoman support by his hard- working defensemen, Armitage, Grice, McIntyre and Campbell.
