Redfearn & Son or Mr. Prank Strong, or Mr. Albert Waller and in a short time the coal is delivered ever stop to consider something of what is involved in having coal ready to deliver at any time to any place? A man, thousands of men, must go down a coal shaft, hundreds of yards into the earth and' then they must s':umble through tunnels so low in places that they must bend almost double, and continue stumbling lor one or two or maybe five miles until they reach the coal face where the coal is being extracted. An electrically driven band-saw with teeth two inches long and an inch thick, under mines the coal to a depth of five feet. There in heat, noise, confusion, darkness"; foul air and unbearably cramped space, the individual miner must clear a space of about seven to twelve cubic feet by loading this loosened coal. on a conveyer belt running behind him and carrying it to a shaft " there to be raised to the surface.

One of the advantages cl -imed for a satin finish is that while it'has a high light reflection value, thje reflected light is evenly diffused o- ar the whole surface and there is n< eye-sitraining glare. (V tremendous impetus was given to H ■> vogue for satin finishes by the ii rod net ion this year of Semi-Lustre, a washable satin enamel made by S ei win-Williams. This was used m >st effectively in House & Garden's " odel Home," Women's Home Com-p nion's ".Mystery House" and other f< nous model homes. this connection we notice that Jtfnes Redfearn & Son are putting on 10-day introductory sale of Semi-which offers an excellent og. ---- A_ , meats of this famous satin-enamel at great saving in cash.

Redfearn was the guest speaker, Wednesday evening, April 14th, 1937, at the Veteran's Cluo Canadian National Railways, at Belleville. His interesting address covered history of the lakes from the time of the 150 ft. wind-jammer up to the 615 ft. steamer of the present day. He also spoke of the three Welland Canals, and general progress on the lakes during the past fifty years, and told how the bigger boat was affecting the business of the smaller craft, helping along unemployment among ilors the same as the bigger ffwuii "lite -fet tatgr^Tsffteftgt power are cutting off many railway employees.

The group is shown on horseback, riding at a leisurely pace through the pleasant English countrywide. Viewed purely as a pictorial creation. "Fire Over England" is highly successful. Much of this success may be attributed to the costuming. The magnifi-cient gowns worn by the women show the wide skirts andthe extreme collars and ruffs tha1!. were fashionable. The men were dressed in doublet and hose for peace and in heavy steel armour But costumes and scenery are just part of the background of the picture. More important is the delineation of the characters. Michael is shown as 'he type of the rash young Englishman, actuate'} bv extreme loyalty to England and hatied of Spain. In opposition to sneh impulsive citizens stands the old Lord Secil, Elizabeth's most trusted adviser. He and Elizza-beth work always for prudence. As he tells Michael a one point in the play, there are three old servants of England -- Elizabeth, Leicester and himself-- and they do not wish to see their work of years endangered by a war with so powerful an enemy *s Philip of Spain. (Philip of Spain, incidentally, is portrayed by the Canadian Raymond Massey). Important as these characters may be. the picture is doimnated by Queen Elizabeth. In her is centred the life of the nation.
