T- - PAM Fre Current and Con fidentictl (By E. K. L.)1 TOBOGANNING- wiTIOUT SNOW Here's a bird story which we1 ean't vouch for, we only read it1 i the papers. It was an adver- tisemnent, ta be exact, an adver- fisement for steel roofs. It seemns that this firm had put a new steci roof on a building down in Que- bec and the roof was on a build- ing where pigeons were wont ta gather. When the last workman bad dlsappeared, back came the pigeons, but they could not find a footing on the slippery new roof, and they slid, with awk- ward flapping af wings to the eavestrough. However, while surprised the f irst time, the pigeons apparently enjoyed the sensation, for they were observ- ed flying up to the ridge pole and sliding down again, over and over. The sketch in the advertise- ment whlch first caught aur eye was of a pigeon on the ridge pole of a roof, a toboggan tucked un- der one wing, while another was scooting happily toward the bot- tom. Apparentiy . birds like a little fun as well as otber creat- unes. Some af themn even have a well developed sense af hum- or, ike the Crow, the Bhue,,Jay, Canada Jay and Catbird. But that's another story. THE CALL 0F THE PIPES If tbere's one thing above alh others that can stmr civic pnide and even the most sluggish bload, it's a band, especially a band leading a parade. For some reason on other, the sight and sound of a band swingîng down the street calîs up mingled feel- ings of exhihanation, sadness and pnide. No doubt a professor of psycbology could expiain this in condescending tones and pedantic language as being a childisb bang-aven fromn the days when aur prehistonic ancestors went out into the forest ta club a wild- cat for lunch, beating like mad on a skin drum ta keep bis cour- age up, or penhaps ta scare the fierce animal away sa that he Now that Winter is Just around the corner it's wlse to check your medicine cabinet for the cough and cold aids, vitamins and many other products which- play such a big part ln protecting your family's health at this time of year.

Well, they aiways bave a band at the head cf a military parade, don't they? Whatever the reason, besides giving the boys a goad beat ta march ta, we think it's a fine idea, and Bowmanville can be pnoud that after a lapse cf some years, she again bas a band. This time a pipe band. Those witbout Scot- tish biaod will just have ta en- dure the skirl of the pipes while the rest af us thrill ta it. And the kilts! There's no more colon- fui uniform anywhere. The pipes and kilts are unbeatable for par- ading. For band concerts of course. regular band instruments are perbaps mare desirable. But we're proud of aur Canad1an Legion Pipe Band.

Have you noticed that in the hast few years weddings bave been getting more and more elabonate, more and more a costly show, al- most on a Hollywood scale? Have you naticed that while more and more girls ar 'e being married in church, the stress is on the effect of the dresses, the flowers and the Emily Post conrectness of eveny hast detail? Has it even stnuck yaut that the religiaus solemnity and import- ance of the manniage vows are ahi but abliterated by the focus of ail eyes on the dress of the bride, ber maid-of-bonon. threc bridesmaids and flower girl? The best man and ushens dont get in the way veny much. They are hardly noticed, and the groom is unobtrusive taa. He is just a man standing beside the bride. 0f course, if be wenen't there, there wouldn't be any show, but nevertheless be doesn't attracL much attention. Has it ever occurred ta you to that the selections sung at wed- Aýings, except for The Lord's Prayer, which is recently gaining in populanity, could scarcely be called neligious'? Yet this is a most solemn neligiaus ceremony. Otherwise, one might just as wehl be marnied in a civil ceremany, now permitted by iow. But there wouldn't be any show then, would there? We are not trying ta be nast.y about this. Not at aIl. A wed- ding is anc occasion in a wom- an's life which should be beau- tiful and inemorable. Every girl, or most girls anyway, dream of floating down the aisie in a beau- tiful bridai gown. And quite rightly so. It's just that we've kind of let the trappings run away with us a bit. More people have mare money nowadays, so mare is spent on events like wed- dings. Elaborate church wed- dings have become a custom for the average girl. It's "the thing ta do," so everybody conforms, and some even try ta out-do oth- ers. In this connection, a Toronto columnist recently cammented that girls now Éeem ta be judged on the number 'of showcrs they receive. as an Indian brave was once judged by the number of scalps at bis beit. A little truth in it, isn't there? He was a man of course, but stili . Well, it's just something to think about, with, again we stress it, no offence meant ta any bride of 1951 or the hast 50 years. May- be we could bit a happy medium somewhere, with a little more thought an what marriage means and a little mare cash ta buy fur- niture from the maney saved. That hast bits Pappa right where be can understand it! CHURCHILLIAN ENGLISH An extraordinany treat wvas of- fered ta the Toronto public this week.

WHISTLE SIGNALS Two Long, One Short, One Long To the public this signal is prob- ably the best known because it is sounded at ieast a quarter of a mile from level crassings, or an the approacb ta any obscure place. The signal is pralonged on repeated acconding ta tbe speed of the train. Onîe Prolonged Blast When -you hear this signal you may be approaching your next station. If flot. then take a guess at one of these: a watering or fueling point; a junction; the end of double tracks. or a drawbridge. One Long, One Short This signal indicates that youn train is running against the cur- rent of traffic, and is a warning ta railroad employees andi athers wbo may be on, or are about ta cross the track. One Short, Onie Long This train is a double header. The air brakes on the leading en- gine bave failed, and the engin- een is signalling bis colleague in the second locomotive ta take cane of the brakes. Tbe same signal will be returned by the second en- gineer as soon as he bas taken contrai, A Series c"f Shorts The engineer bas sigbted pers- ans on animaIs on the track farth- er abead, and is warning them of the train's approach. CONDUCTOR TO ENGINEER Since the conductor is in chargc of the train, there are a number of signals wbich must pass fnom him ta the engineen from time ta time. To send themn he pulls a cord whicb is visible in passen- ger-car vestibules. In the cars the result is a familiar bissing sound. In the cab a tug of the card causes a piping whistle ta sound. Two Long When you bear this, wave a hast goad-bye ta your friends. The conductor bas signalled for the train ta stant.

However, if the train is standing, the conductor is telling the engineer ta apply or release his air brakes. Five Shorts The engineer bas received the signal ta increase bis speed. If the train is standing, he is being told ta whistle ta recall the flag- rman. Six Short The weather will be cold wben you hear this. The conductor is asking the engineer ta increase the beat. Two Short, One Long This signal indicates ta the en- gineer that the train is approach- ing a point where it wilI meet or wait for another train. It is giv- en between one and three miles from this point. The engineer immediately makes a running test of the brake and blows two short blasts on his whistle in acknow- ledgment of the order.
