We have, thanks to inventive genius, new homes--homes new in kind--prottered to us; homes of steel and glass along with improved air conditioning ana oll burners, 'and a thousand and one smaller innovations, Here, for example, 18 a steam-pressure cooking device guaranteed to cook to a'turn a five-pound roast in five nunuies! . Other items among hundreds: colored enamel designs in muk bottles; electric dr; &r8; Dow 1 gprays; silver-white, corrosion-resisting screens; water- washable wall papers; tloor lamps which take ly any slack mn cords; new plumbing fixtures, very "lovely"; safety loliypops even, with flexible handles; satety shower baths; metal awnings; even rooms with their panels and nearly all else in them made of plastic and synthetic material; and dishes, too, that you can hurl at walls or ceiling without | breakage! Jd 'Yelevision will be here just so soon as we are prepared to buy {televisors, Thousands of experimenters have contrived sets as] satisfactory as home movies, in point of performance. The Na- tional Broadcasting Company, knowing that to be forewarned 1s to be forearmed, has invested nearly a million dollars in wiring Radio City tor television. In short, all signs indicate that it won't be-long now before we shall be able to hear and see round the world. Certain practical engineers in'a large laboratory in New York are fond of tond of talking, to the disconcertion of news- paper publishers, of the day when your home radio will deliver by television printer your daily news reading in tabloid form. in the field of transportation we hate the now familiar story of rauroad trains scientifically streamlingd and air conditioned running at twice the traditional speed, at approximately half of former cost. 'But that is only part of the story. One single type of airplane, originally designed as a bomber and converted in the Depression into a passenger ship, caused in a twelve-month span transcontinental air line race which has already raised the speed i pone 0 1y 200 miles an hour... And.the year don of "bending" & radio beam SAAT SR A : tea ' ) nesy a not far distant 1 Tali, ons, of which streamlining is only will:not only be faster and much more comfortable but d also be c eaper, And they should be far less costly to perate because, as "Boss Kettering" remarked not so long ago to the writer, a gallon of gasoline has enough energy to drive a car 300 miles if this fuel is used at full efficiency. Automobile en- gineers are working on this problem, .for, in general, research in thé automotive industry has been energized--not depressed--by the Depression. But only a tithe of the results of such research Jtoday. pparent to others than the few privileged to go behind - > Cars, like all other material things, of course, are products not only of design, but of materials. = And therefore just<#bout the most precious thing in this world is a new material or a new adap- tation of an old one. We may not realize, since most of 'us suppose that steel is steel and that's that, that in any high-priced auto- mobile there are as many as 90, and in any medium-priced auto- mobile as many as 60, different steels, other metals and alloys. And everywhere new alloys are being discovered conbinations of metals brought from all the far corners of the world. Scores of these new alloys in the long run will come to be quite as important to us as Monel Metal, durulumin and the stainless steels already have come to be. : LE : 5 ~And everywhere on every hand, there are new, or.improved, processes for heat-treating; shaping and using our metals. In all of the four main kinds of welding, for example--resistance, arc, ress has-been made during the Depression. The time required to weld pipe-line sections together has been halved. Automobile and airplane sections are welded together, and skyscraper and bridge parts also, literally in a flash. a We. even have some hitherto useless metallic elements now made available for the ever-increasing range of things we use. If you go to England, you. will notice, if you look closely, that the wheels of many London busses are made of a new metal lighter even than aluminum. On the Continent you learn-that the.re- volutionary fast train, the Hamburger, is made of this white metal: It 'is also extensively used in- airplanes and all. manner of shop machines and home items. This metal, magnesium, only a little while 'back was little more than a laboratory euriosity, and a dangerous one since in finely divided particles it burns rapidly-- so rapidly, in fact, that it was used in fireworks and flares. But a few years ago a German industrial concern developed ways to make it behave while being cast, forged, welded" and- otherwise shaped. This metal, a third lighter than aluminum; is already a long way ahead of where aluminum was, a generation ago when a small group of devoted men, having refined the first ten pounds of luminum, exclaimed, "Now that we've got it in the safe, what are we going to do with it?" Everyone knows the answer. And no doubt much the same answer will eventually hold for magnesium, veloping at Niaggra Falls: There is always room for one more metal, and for new industries arising from its availibility. To the bright new lexicon of new things under the sun add Solka, a highly purified cellulose which a little group of wilful men ina Berlin, N.H., laboratory not long ago 'discovered how. to wrest from the spruce tree. Now it is used in roofing, in surgical dress- ings, in towels, it is made into yarn for fabrics, rugs and carpets '& new order; it is used in all manner of delicate jewelry and seemingly in all varieties of paper; it is used in shoes, in rayons, in wickware--actually in more industries than could be listed in whole paragraphs. Still it is not yet three years old! Add also uprene, a synthetic, rubber-like substance now coming into use for automobile tops, engine mountings, fuel oil hosé, and having 80 many other special uses that, though it costs 20 times as much as crude natural rubber, it has kept a plant running at full capacity for nearly three years, ~~ = RR = These, to be sure, are but straws'in the wind.

The deceased, born {in Cartwright on July 14th, 1906, a 8 walk a promising young farmer, of un- usual ability, pleasing personality and Ainé Christian character. He was a confirmed member of St. John's Anglican" Church, a member of the choir and was president of the A. Y. P. A. at the time of his death. In October he had gone as a delegdte to the annual "A. Y., P. A, Convention which was held in Toronto. For a Just as we began to think that the unemployment problem was being solved, along comes the Port Perry - Custom{Hatchery and throws a thousand clucking 'hens out of employment. From all over the townships of Reach, Scugog, and Cartwright, and from more dis:ant points such as Orono, farmers and poultry raisers are coming with their settings of eggs--little settings of a couple of dozen, or big settings of 2150, They bring in eggs of every description. Some are fertile, and some show by the hatch that sufficient care has not been taken in the selection of the eggs. The percentage of hatch runs all the way from 50 to 709. So it is evident that it pays to be careful in the selection of eggs. There is a proper way of testing the eggs, or they will do the testing at the Hatchery for you. Not much use in paying 2l4c. to attempt to hatch an egg that is not fertile. A good feature of the Hatchery is the ease with which it can be disinfected. This process is carried out after every hatch,-and pollorm disease is eradica- ted. The service given by the Port Perry Hatchery: "is much appreciated by-local poultry raisers. Messrs. Brooks & Rowland "are giving excellent service at a very reasonable rate. But the clucking hen is being run out of a job. Already they have hatched about ten thousand chicks this Spring, Lo A Thousand More Unemployed number of years he had taken a lead- ing part in the "plays" put on annual- ly at New Years by the young people of his church, He was also a member of the Athletic Association and at dif- ferent times played on the Blackstock baseball and hockey teams. For some years he has belonged to Blackstock L.O.L. No. 133 and played in the fife and drum band. The funeral service was held on Tuesday, April 10th, from St. John's Church and was conducted by the Rector, Dr. C. E. Whittaker, who paid the following beautiful tribute to the departed: "We all know how well and gladly our friend bore his part in the church life, always in his place, a consistent chorister, often assisting with the ser- vice; leading the Young People's meeting 'with ability and acceptance, and though we have lost our brother we are confident of seeing him again where there shall be no more parting, and where Our God shall wipe all (cars from our eyes. lis passing has made a vacancy which we would chal, lenge the young people to fill that the work be-not hindered.

For is it not as though the rose that climbed our garden wall is blooming on the other side? Death doth hide, but not divide. Thou art but on Christ's other side.
