the georgetown herald wednesday evening may 28th 1941 interesting items fob local farmers t top rank ptowmen leave on salada tea transcontinental trip the international flowing match held at st thomaa last year bet new record in the number of entries and attendance the most coveted prue offered was that for the special class sponsored by the salada tea company and open to alt horse plowmen in jointer plow bod classes who had qualified at branch matches a six weeks motor trip to the west coast and back it is a coincidence that the trip along with the gold and silver medals for first and second prises in this class was won by two neighbour plowmen john lister left and harold picket right both of hornby ontario their journey was planned under the guiding hand of j a carroll manager of the ontario plowmens association and will take them to areas of agricultural interest in the united states and canada from toronto to vancouver gordon megavin centre another wellknown plowman of walton will accompany the winner as guide companion and manager the trip should prove intensely interesting and of great educational vara to these three lucky plowmen farmers market hogs at proper weights anpucauons for ontario government hog subsidy reaching toronto at bate of w per day two weeks operation of the ontario government hog subsidy regulations sbow that farmers are making a de termined effort to market hogs a weights which will produce carcasses- weighing 140 to 170 pounds the weight units for a grade this is indicated by the small number of hogs market ed by each fanner at any one time hog subsidy officials state applications lor the subsidy have been arriving at the ontario parliament buildings to ronto at the tate of about 400 a day a number of applications have had to be returned to farmers because they were not fully completed officials md in many cases applicants failed to sign their name at the bottom ol the application form others appar- ently did not realize that the subsidy is being paid enly on grade a and bl carcasses some applications have been received which cannot be re cognized because they grade lower than bl one of the main obecuves of the bonus is to nave farmers market hogs of proper weight and type that bacon of suitable grades will be avail able for shipment to britain and these grade arctound in a and bl car- farmers may it they so desire send grading statements attached to one ap plication form providing all these grading statements cover hogs market ed within the previous 60 days officials also point out chat it takes ten days to two weeks for hog bonus aobiicattons to be checked and a cheque issued by the treasury depart ment to the ap canadian antiaircraft guns used in battle of britain continued from page 1 that the plant has provided hasen- abled the majority of students to go into the shop as capable operators with only five to six weeks training the training school operates in three ahifts with 70 students to a shift bach student is assigned to a machine and is taught how to handle and oper ate it by an instructor who supervises a battery of four or five machines it is truly a thrilling sight to look over this huge plant and see these young men and women operating huge lathes milling machines boring machines etc all doing their part and a very im- rtent part it is to help defeat the enemy it is of course impossible for many- reasons for me to go into detail re- guarding the process of manufacture of bafors gun barrels however i shall try and give you some idea of the tremendous amount of- work in volved in the manufacture gun barrel the casting la made in canadian foundry located pot many miles- tow the factory u i turned mto ft gun fcs- time the- casting enters the factory to the time that it leaves crated ready for shipment to eastern r to being senttrv the j i overseas the gun barrel just one phase of making gun barrels that of boring the casting here the genius of the plant and government engineers has been demonstrated heretofore rifling m were only able to cut one groove in the barrel of a gun during one operation now this plant hasperfected a method of boring all 16 groves in an anti aircraft gun barrel in one operation thereby greatly speeding up production and so the gun barrel passes on from one operation to another the barrel ends are threaded the brass ribbon put in place tne flash guard put on the recoil spring attached and then the barrel heated to become rust resistant all of these operations are completed in the minimum of time i have not attempted to list all of the operations through which these gun barrels pass but just a few of the many operations understandable to a layman to try to give some idea of the great amount of work and detail involved in their manufacture as i told you in the begi of this article this plant has already set a record for production having com pleted nearly 1000 barrels in the time allotted them for the completion of the first five hundred inside of the next two or three months another rec ord will be set- instead of building just the barrels of the bofors antl- alrcraft gun the complete gun will be produced these records have been made possible through the speed and thoroughness of the plant management in cooperation with government engin eers in getting this huge factory built so far ahead of schedule and having worked out a plan whereby the total of over 700 heavy machine tools are all standard machines adapted to do the work this plant has oeen called upon to do thereby eliminating to a larger degree the necessity of waiting until special machine tools could be designed it is an achievement of wnfch canadians can well be proud when we read tn the daily press how british antiahcraft machine guns are bringing down enemy bombers over the old country we can take no little pride in the fact that canadians are producing these guns in large numbers for the defence of britain
