In his younger days he was active in the Whitby Bowling and tennis Club. He also is a member and Past Master, Com- posite Lodge, No. 30 AF and AM, and Keystone Chapter, RAM.

Another pedestrian walk on the west side of Laval street from the school sidewalk to Champlain avenue. The Home and School Assoc- iation feels that traffic hazards will be created: by the opening of Stevenson road south at Champlain avenue and the open- ing of Laval street from Cham- plain to Hillsdale avenue. A second petition from the same group requested city coun- cil to consider the construction of a sidewalk on the south side of Hillside avenue from Park Road South to the west side of Cromwell Avenue, to meet the east limits of the cinder path which extends from Cromwell Avenue to the east side of La- val Street. This request is being made as a result of the opening of a portion of Hillside Avenue from Park Road South to Laval Street, which will present a traffic hazard to the school chil- dren. Both petitions went to Board of Works for study. Another petition, signed by parents of Conant. Public school children, which also went to Board of Works, asked for a school guard in the Thomas street gully. They consider the area dan- gerous for the following stated 'reasons: (a) Thomas street is too narrow for two cars to pass and also allow room for pedes- trians; (b) some cars travel through that gully at speeds ex- ceeding the speed limit; (c) there is no sidewalk on either Valley Drive or Thomas street; (d) there is no walk on the north side of the bridge necessi- tating a double crossing of the voad by the children; (f) the steps leading down from Conant Schoo] are steep. Thirty-two children now travel through this area four times a day.

It was caused _ by- electric discharges on the sur- face of the unexposed part of a roll of film. Such a dis- charge is a common occur- rence at this time of the year. Film tends to get very dry when stored in a normally heated place. In that condi- tion it easily retains a charge of static electricity. When the above film was unrolled the discharge caused sparks, clearly visible in the dark- ness. These sparks affected the photo - sensitive surface of the film, with the fancy result above. Amateur photog- raphers who develop their own film can help prevent this happening to already ex- posed film by rubbing the metal spool against a water pipe, thus grounding the film and removing the charge. The film should also be unrolled ee because rubbing of the cause a discharge.
