everything about the actual broadcasting was new to us of courser time means everything there and so its fitting that the first thing to meet your eye when entering the station is a large clock on the wall and from there on no matter where we went we were confronted with old father time ticking away the min utes on wall clocks placed in the most conspicuous posi tions and we dont think we gained that impression merely because we were watching the minutes bo close ly ourselves those clocks are really there the studio from which we did the broadcasting was as evidently all studios are very sparsely furnish ed just the bare essentials benchchairs for those taking part a couple of mikea the piano and organ and a small table at which the speakers sit when that green sign above the control room flashes on the air the time spent rehearsing was most enjoyable for we met a lot of interesting people who took part in the show there was thomas richard henry financial editor of the telegram and writer of the wellknown column he calls from thomas richard henry his real name is weber and his charming wife and daugh ter were also preaent for the broadcast mr weber is a quiet unassuming man with a twinkle in his eye youd never suspect from appearances that he could in dulge in some of the vitriolic attacks he does include upon occasion in his witty column then there was gordon sinclair a former newspaperman turned radio full of pep and a personality which did much to set yourstroly more at ease he writes the master script for the program j v macaree prominent newspaper man and writer of the fourth column in the globe and m is a pleasant dignified elderly gentleman hes sometimes called the dean of newspaper column ists and we enjoyed our chat with him immensely we just had time to say hello and goodbye to jim hunter as he rushed in for his spot at the first of the program and out again similarly we just said howdo to ernest dainty at the organ alan savage treasure trail remember was in charge of the broadcast and be lieve us theres a lot of worry work and rushing around implied in that brief phrase hes the man who sees that everything and everyone on the program is timed down to the last second and that it all comes out right on the nose the program has to end at 10 and not a second over he had ten minutes in between rehearsal and the actual broadcast to rush around and give direc tions cut out parts of script that time wouldnt allow and generally see that everything was set al savage is young handsome and very energetic he arranges all the radio programs sponsored by the cockfield brown advertising agency we were a bit disappointed that we didnt see violet heming star of kiss and tell currently play ing at the royal alexandria theatre but as she had to be at the theatre when the program was being broad cast roly young had interviewed her during the after noori and a recording was made and played at the ap pointed time on the show all in all it was a most interesting evening and were very glad wetook advantage of the opportunity to go on the air picture norval1877 pictures of the past have beckoned us again this week and this time its norval wed like you to visu alize as it was nearly seventy years ago in the year 1877 norval contained about 4s0 inhabitants it was first settled by the late james mcnab esq in the year 1820 it was a surprise to us to learn that it was called mcnab village until 1840 when a postoffice was established and the village took the name of norval at that time there were a good brick school with two teachers three churches an orange lodge and hall a band a volunteer company under captain urry and a drill shed colonel clay was postmaster at the time and took a prominent part in public affairs the principal business of the place consisted then as now of the flour and grist mill then it was owned by robert noble esq when the sketch of norval was written trie author described the mill thus the mill contained eight run of stones driven by a leffel wheel oi 80 horsepower with 1 5 feet head of water the mill was first built by the late james ncnab esq in the year 1828 who did business until 1830 when he leased he mill to mr john barnhart he carried on the busi ness for a number of years when mr mcnab again took charge of it in 1 836 the late general sir peter adamson purchased it and carried on the business until 1 845 when he leased it to messrs gooderham worts for 1 4 years it then came into the hands of the gene and finally in the year 1 868 it was purchased fcy the present proprietor mr noble has thoroughly refitted the mill and he can truthfully say that it has not its superior in the dominion the mill ia capable of grinding 200 barrels of flour per day or 60000 barrels per year which will take about 200000 bushels of rtatrtffiakirrgnorval a firstclass market for the farm ers a large gristing business is also done in connection with the mill he has a cooper shop which manufac tures from 200 to 250 barrels per day the saw mill which also belongs to him last year manufactured 200000 feet of lumber he is also owner of tne large mill known as the norval woollen and cotton batting mills it is run by water having eleven feet head the prosperity of the village is largely due to the energy and perseverance of mr noble there are quite a number of business men in the village among whom may be mentioned w r watson who carries on a carriage fac tory john holmes a blacksmith and carriage shop robert harper blacksmith shop day and western blacksmith shop j f hewson harness shop eli gollop general store james mckenzie pork packing establishment robert watson baker and grocer wm jackson boot and shoe store thos hambley boot and shoe store etc there are two good hotels in the village mr thomas mc andrews and mr thomas beamish being the respective landlords of the noble family today there are the follow ing children of the pioneer col alex noble on the homestead at norval dr r t noble toronto mrs rev a a laing guelph and miss annie e noble toronto col alex noble formed a stock company with the family and in 1919 sold the mill to j w camp bell the millproper was burned in 1930 so that of the four original buildings only the grist and chopping mill remains w b brown co bought it from j w campbell and norman demerling is the owner today weve had several requests for an historical writeup on terra cotta but unfortunately havent any data at hand which we might use for it if any of our readers have even a few interesting facts about the place its origin places of business or early settlers and would be kind enough to bring them into the office we would be only too glad to oblige the farmer that was so rich he was dripping money we were interested to read in the fergus news- record a couple of weeks ago an editorial with the above heading it caught our eye as it would anyones in these days when we know the farmer is getting a pretty fair price for his produce we hardly thought they would be dripping with money however inci dentally the article was published by saturday night in its clippings department last week this week the fergus paper has printed a reply to the challenging state merit which was contained in a letter to the editor written by a somewhat irate farmer we wonder if the rebuttal will gain wide publicity too anyway were going to publish both right here for your interest this is the editorial a number of items published recently in the weekly papers coming to this office tend to make town people wonder if they are not wasting their time slaving away in factories and offices and the like when they might be laying aside a good deal more out on the farm this train of thought was started when we heard of one young farmer whom we know very well who was having trouble with the income tax depart ment they wanted to collect some 10000 from him m one year because he held a very successful auction sale of purebred cattle and the department claimed that was his income for one year he maintained and with justice wed say that this was his capital some kind of a compromise is expected then we began to glance over this past weeks papers and here are a few items about other farmers the drayton advocate tells of a young farmer whom it names whose mothers house was burned down he made his way into the burning house and managed to bring out his pants with 900 in cash that he had got the day before from the sale of some cattle his sisters purse was burned in it there was 600 in cash the mitchell advocate had a story in somewhat lighter vein a farmer got a cheque for 1 000 for some hogs he had sold and he took it to the bank to get the cash he wore two pairs of overalls not simply be cause he could afford them but because he figured he would put the cash in the pocket of the inner pair where it would be safer he drew out ten 100 bills and btowed thorn away according to plan and went walking down the street a man behind him was amazed to find a 100 bill lying on the sidewalk a little farther on he found another then another this exciting paper chase con tinued until he had picked up 1000 and had discovered that the farmer up ahead was dropping them as he walked along the bills were handed over before their loss was discovered the farmer had missed the inner pocket and had slipped the bank roll between the two suits of overalls here is the reply dear editor that piece about the farmers ra ther amused us the reason for the money being car ried handy is i no bank is nearer than four six eight or ten miles from some farmers and 2 they are always halton juniors to hold tne annual livestock judging com petitlon for halton junior barmen aim the achievement day tor
