VOL. 61; NO. 31 FLESHERTON. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1941 VV. H. Thurston & Son, Props 5 ' V> i I V Built His Own Successful Business A number of years ago an Arte- mesia young man, Harold Allen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Allen, left for Toronto to make his way in the world with as great success as his own personal efforts could bring forth. He learned the electrical business in all its branches and 11 years ago went into business for him- self. Since that time through hard work and persevesance he built up his business, until now he is employ- ing eight men on shop and outside work. The trade magazine "Electri- cal Appliances and Contracting'' had an interview and the following ap- peared in its December issue: An interesting example of how a motor shop and a contracting busi- ness can be combined in one smooth- running electrical organizatioin is to be found at the Allen Electric Co. t 2326 Dufferin St., Toronto. Having its inception in a small, one-man business about eleven years ago, the organization has forged steadily ahead under its founder and owner, W. H. Allen, and has become one of the important organizations of its type in Ontario. Early in 1941 it was decided to construct a building especially suited to the company's needs. The work- shops, stock room and offices are the last word in modernity and everything has been planned with an eye to efficiency and quality of workmanship. The company's trucks may, for instance, enter the shop at two levels. One at which the truck platform is flush with the floor and, at the other side of the building, where an overhead monorail trolley, capable of lifting two tons, is located. Here heavy motors, transformers or other gear may be picked up with the overhead and effortlessly brought into the centre of the main shop. Part of the secret of efficiecy which characterizes the firm's oper- ations, is the well equipped stock room, where ample supplies of ma- terials for both the contracting and the motor shop divisions are kept available at all times. It is not necessary to make several calls all over the city to get the necessary material when a job comes in. Prac- tically everything needed is right on hand in the stock room. Other usint'ul equipment consists of a spray booth, two bake ovens (one large and one small) for baking windings^ and an incinerator in which all shop litter is burned in a surprisingly short time. While the motor shop division seems to lend itself best to descrip- tion, the contracting end of the bus- iness is just as active. Many of the larger contracts have been concern- Canada's war effort, however, and ed either directly or indirectly with for reasons of national security cannot be described here. Apart- ment building wiring has been one of the firm's chief fields of activity, industrial plants another. The com- pany has also been active in the field O f air conditioning and has done considerable work in this ine. Japan not only hit before the bell, but below the belt. By leaving your old license plates at any Service Station you will be aiding the Red Cross. Arrangements have been made to collect all old plates and the salvage value will be turned over to the Red Cross.

Osprey Holds Election Calf Had for Ride Osprey Township nominations were held at Maxwell on Monday after- noon, but the meeting was not very largely attended, although there was plenty for the ratepayers to talk about.

Arnold Hutchinson (former Reeve), and W. L. Taylor, who served many years as Reeve and also as Warden of Grey. For Deputy-Reeve: Fred Hale (the present Deputy-Reeve) and Geo.

Others nominated but withdrew were: John Stinson Tor Reeve and for Councillors, Samuel Schwandt. The election is to be held Monday of next week. ADDITIONAL LOCALS A calf bought by a local drover had a merry, though uncomfortable ride on Monday from which it was lucky to escape with its life. Mr. W. J. McFadden of Orange Valley- deposited the calf in the rear com- partment with a rope tied around its neck and fastened to the car. The calf did not like its cramped quarters and decided to kick about it and in the process of doing so forced the door of the compartment open and a way was open to freedom. But that rape was the deciding factor in keeping it with the car and its new owner. The dragging calf was notic- ed. As soon as the ear halted calfie driver informed of what had occurr- ed. As soon as the stopped the calf jumped to its feet, apparently nont the worse of its mishap. alth:ugh it was cut in a number of places and otherwise bruised. How far it was dragged it is not known, but we can imagine that it was far enough, as far as the calf was concerned.

To Pay bonus Oo Eggs For Britain For the purpose of encouraging Canadian egg producers o supply the maximum quantity of the best quality eggs for Britain during th next year, the Agricultural Supplies Board has been authorized under an Order- in-Council just passed, to pay a bonus of 3 cents per dozen on Grade A eggs purchased for export under the British the present agree- ment with the British Ministry of Food. An additional bonus of a half cent per dozen will be paid for oil dipping such eggs, a process which helps retain the quality, and which is now specially requested by the Minister. Existing contracts with the British Ministry call for the delivery of 772,000 cases of eggs before May 3lst next. Recently the British Ministry has requested that this quantity be increased and also that the greatest quantity possible b* placed in storage in Canada for ship- ment in the fall of 1942. The sum provided under the Order-in-Council is sufficient to cover a total of 1,272.- 000 cases of eggs. It is hoped that with the incentive the bonus provides that Canadian producers will so or- ganize their poultry efforts that they will be able to provide the quantities of eggs Britain is asking for. The price for Grade A eggs for export during the winter period up to February 28, 1942, now becomes 35.12 cents per dozen and for the period March 1 to May 31, 1942, it will be 31.79 cents per dozen, both prices f.o.b. seaboard. The bonus will also apply on Grade A eggs placed in storage for export in the fall of 1942. and the price for these will be the same as for the winter shipment, 35.12 cents per dozen 'f.o. b. seaboard. The increase in prices will be paid through the trade on all Grade A eggs for export purchased from pro- ducers on and after Dec. 22, 1941. The prices for the eggs under the earlier agreement with the British Ministry were considered satisfact- ory at the time the agreement was made. In the meantime labor and production costs have risen, conse- quently making it difficult to secure the maximum quantities of <?egs requested by the British Ministry. Tile bonus will be limited to Grade \ since the British Ministry is ask- ing that no less than 87 per cent of the eggs under the spring contr be of that quality as contrasted witl a division of 60 per cent A and 40 per cent B taken under the spring contract. The effect of the bonus assures egg producers of a stabilized price throughout 1942 for top quaht egg?. The bonus will not be paid c Grade B and Grade C \VKBER - SHERIDAN The Rectory of.
