For the plant, this marked the end of an action-packed 24 hours that saw Bowmanville employees pull out ahl stops to produce the belt after one at the mine had beendamaged by a pulley and put out of action. The damaged belt - capable of carrying 6 to 700 tons of ore an hour - had been tomn lougitudinally for 75 feet, then severed. When the incident occurred, mine personnel contacted Ray Mantha, the Sudbury representative, of Blackwood Hodge, a Goodyear distributor.

And a rush job it was. "I can't remember when we accomplished so much so fast in steel-cable conveyor belt p roduction," said Doug Hatherly, foreman of the conveyor belting department. "1I'm sure we set a record." At about 2 p.m. Thursday, February 2, the plant got the go-ahead to start production. "The part of the job that takes the longest with this type of belting," explaiued John Luxton, supervisor in the belt department, "is threading the steel cable, but we increased our manpower and speeded up the operation. We kept extra men on the job all the time the belt was being produced. That's why we finisied quickly." When the belting arril the mine Fridayi Mantha had four splicei two helpers waiting.

Perform a death-defying act. Give Heart Fund. Dear John, Recently in your paper 1 saw that the Board of Educa- tion wanted suggestions for the name of the new public school on Waverley Road. If 1 am not mistaken, Waverley Road was named after Waverley Farm which was owned and operated by Senator Robert (?) Beath (Beith). I remember as a child visiting the horse stables on that farm with my father Robert Martin and seeing the Hackney horses that Senator Beath raised. He trained them to raise their front legs in the proper Hackney style. He exhibited them at the Horse Show held in those days in Madison Square Gardens in New York and almost always won the highest awards. It seems to me that it would be a good idea to name the school Hackuey Public School or the Senator Beath Public School. If you think there is any from our indisposition fully and are back inu:the regular groove- Yours truly, Allan Martin Dear Editor, I notice that the bus shelters have finally been erected in the Town of Bowmanville. I and a good many citizens of the Town of Bowmanville are indeed thankful. At this time 1 want to say thanks to Mrs. Annie Darch, a former Reeve of the Town of Bowmanville, who worked at that time and since then to have these shelters erected. When I see how these shelters are being put to use,' on behalf of the citizens and myseif we would like to say "Thanks again Annie A grateful citizen Maurice Prout Durham Federation of Agriculture members were called to a special meeting on expropriation procedures in Hampton last Wednesday night.

VannBelle, on Gardening Pruning Often the question is asked, "When is the timne to prune my trees?" This would include al the trees, such as maples, fruit trees, etc. For almost al pruning of trees the best time is in the month of March, when the trees are in a dormant condition. No sap is comning up from the moots, so the cut will seal itself, or a paint can be applied to the cut to mnake sure it will flot bleed. This would be helpful with large euts or trees like the maple which bleed very easiiy. Wheu you planit ,atren 's- when you should start g uning. The first few years uild the shape of the tree. This is-specially important in the case of fruit trees. The old way of pruning fruit trees was to take out ail the suckers, (those are the branches that go straight) and strip the inside of the tree of these branches, leaving ail the foliage and fruit on the outside. Often this would result in a tree to grow completeiy round, or the tree will h ave ail the leaves on 'the top, which is completely the wrong way. Fruit trees should have an open branch system, where sun and air will enter even in to the centre, particularly in the case of apple trees. If the tree was pruned round, no air will get in and the sun will only reach the appies on the outside at the top haif of the tree. Prune your trees so that there always. is a centre leader which is the high point of the tree. Then try to have four main branches evenly spaced coming out from the main trunk. Let the branches fan out from those four main branhes giinga effect, and, the tree will be shaped like a Christmas tree. Sun and air will filter on) the biggest part of the tree, giving better fruit and better color. This is the way to prune to produce good quaiity fruit. -Most fruit. trees will produce fruit on short lateral branches or on short spurs. So do not strip the tree of these short branches. Every tree has a different growth pattern. The pear tree has a tendency to grow straight up, s0 you should prune it in such a way that the branches wîll grow sideways.
