PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, . LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHIT Phone 703, All Depa. Rusiness Office: Miss G. Macpherson. Editor: Robert Corbett, phone 2589 Poultry Course Returns Surplus For Fourth Year The only Whitby High School course which consistently shows a financial profit will start its fifth year of successful operation when the term opens early in September. the course on the Care of Poultry which is part of grade nine Boys' Agriculture, but is also extended to benefit classes taking other related subjects. W.o Kelvin Bunner is the teacher. Last year the course returned a profit of $38 to the Board of Ed- ucation after leaving funds on hand to maintain itself. The poultry house was built four years ago by the late Mr. Stephenson and his pupils as part of their course in shop practice. Each November, 20 pullets be- ginning to lay, are purchased and kept until Easter. ' After the Easter recess, 200-day chicks are purchased and cared for until ear- ly June when they are sold. Complete records are kept by the students concerning feed and sup- pliess purchased and the sales of eggs and birds. The pupils work in pairs for a week at a time. The dally feeding and egg-grading is done before or after class and on week-ends. Of course, the pu- pils receive no payment for this work because the object of the course is not profit but prac- tical training in poultry keeping. Pupils enjoy learning about prac- tical aspects of chitken-raising and it has been found that the theory of the subject is easier to teach on this account. Also Incubators Mr. Bunner makes the flock available for all related classroom lessons such as culling for egg production, sight-sexing of Barred Rocks. Last year there was a successful operation on a crop- bound hen. Grade 11 learns point- ers on the marketing of eggs, cul- ling hens for egg production, poul- It is try housing and feeding for egg production. Tv The school also owns two incuba- tors and usually sets about 100 eggs for hatching during the term. Due to unsuitable conditions, only about 50 per cent hatch in the school rooms and the chicks are sold rather than attempting to maintain brooder houses to raise them. Pupils supply the eggs and are allowed to take home their own chicks. For two years now, the poultry house has been wired for electricity so the laying flock can have arti- ficial light at both ends of the day. There is an electric brooder for the young flock. Keep Books About a year ago a system called "poultry fund" was permanently set up in order to keep close watch on the financial end and correlate the production results to cost. At the end of this June sufficient money was in this fund to finance the lay- ing fleck this fall and return a nice surplus to the School Board. Another very practical agricult- ure subject taught at Whitby High School is Bee Keeping. Through the summer from time to time when the classes are out of session, the teacher, Mr. Bunner makes a trip | to the High School with smoke- | pot and frames, to renew the hives. | Principal E. H. Graham told The Times-Gazette that he was highly pleased with the good results ob- tained from these practical courses. Four Day W.M.S.

An inspection of the Whitby Dairy Bar Friday morning after a flash fire scorched walls and equip- ment showed that although no damage was to be seen on the ex- terior, the inside was a shambles. Signs flapped on the walls, partly burned, glassware lay scattered and broken. Two holes had been brok- en in the false ceiling when fire- men wished to be sure that the fire was not still burning between floors. An insurance adjuster lost no time getting to work to determine accurately the amount of damage. "I certainly appreciated the way the firemen came so quickly," said owner Jack Roblin. "And if it hadn't been for those four boys going by who acted quickly to turn in an alarm, the whole building might have been lost." (The lads were Ken MacDonald, Len Yuill, Douglas Williams and Jim Corner). Fire, "the good servant, the ter- rible master" had sprung up quick- ly THursday night, immediately after the staff of the dairy bar had left. The electric clock stopped at 11:15 p.m. indicating a fuse had blown. Ten minutes later the in- terior was a mass of flames which subsided somewhat when they had consumed the available oxygen in the store. None of the plate glass windows were broken but the side windows had been smashed and the glass fixtures in the Dairy Bar. The stock of tobacto and confectionery looked mighty unsaleable to this observer. The stools still stood in the wreck- age, but the counter was a litter. The bright signs advertising the price of sandwiches were well cook- ed in dull blackness. ' The special covering on the walls was uniform- ly scorched like burnt toast. Repairs: will be made just as Noise In Night Starts Rumors Of Train Wreck Thursday night when many citizens were watching a fire at the Whitby Dairy' Bar at 11:30 a terrific crash was heard, elear- ly audible all over town. Next day the rumor was that some train cars on the CPR had been involved in a wreck and left the track. The faet was that an air coupling on a freight train had broken near the bridge which crosses highway No. 2 east of town. With dif- ficulty the train crew separated the two sections of the train. The impact was when the two sections of the train came vio- lently together--the one with brakes on and the other running free. The coupling was bent almost to the ties. soon as they can be arranged for, Mr. Roblin said. But he was un- able to predict when the lunch counter will again be open for business.
