Years ago ice-cutting was one of the staple industries of the vil- lage during the winter months. Before rural electrification, and then again before the common use of electrical refrigerators, the farmers were dependent upon na- tural ice harvested through the winter to cool their dairy prod- ucts during the summer, Some people cut their own sup- ply of ice but a large number bought it for three to five cents a block from lads who cut mainly for re-sale, such as Billy Gilliam and his son, Cliff, and John Hin- ton and Mr. Fixture. The block weighed from 120 to HELP WANTED BECOME A BUSINESS OFFICE REPRESENTATIVE TO DEAL WITH THE PUBLIC High School Matriculants or University Graduates 18 to 25 Years of Age FIVE-DAY WEEK .

Toronto or to the MANAGER at OAKVILLE 140 pounds and their dimensions were determined by the ice thick- || ness. If the ice were thinner the blocks would be bigger across the top. The Bronte river supplied the farmers of Bronte district two- thirds of the way to Oakville and as far north as Palermo. There was more to harvesting the ice than just the cutting. From early in the season it was necessary to remove the snow in order that the ice would be solid and of. good depth, The ice was hauled away by horse-drawn sleigh and stored in ice-houses. The cutting took place roughly in front of the Boat Works and the sleighs came down the present road and onto the creeks their ice jointly in the open ice- house back of Freeman Bray's shanty. By cutting the ice them- selves, they were able to lay away about 100 tons of ice at $1 a ton. The season is getting on and there there will be no ice-cutting in Bronte this year. Artificial ice has re- placed the old natural product. Some may agree that the artifi- cial is not as cold as the natural, but it sure is a lot less bother just to order it from Angus Mc- Donald or Frank Sullivan when it is needed. is every indication PEOPLE and EVENTS Mrs. Cliff Carpenter left on Wednesday to undergo an opera- tion in St. Joseph's hospital in Hamilton.
