G. Frozen Water Services Readily Put Right by the Mution of Electricity Pierson, Superintendent of the Weston Public Utilities Commission almost 20 years ago. Speaking to The Times & Guide he recollected that in 1915 there were almost one hundred water serâ€" vices in the town which were frozen, and it became necessary to act quickâ€" ly. He related hearing of experiments which were made in Guelph for thawâ€" ing out frozen piges by the arplic.tion of electricity, and immediately started experimenting on his own. His:ffortl met with remarkable success. cold, and perhaps a little colder than the previous year, and we had about 200 services frozen up. They were all thawed by this system. We have not had occasion to use it again until this year. About 12 to 15 frozen services in Weston have been thawed out this winter, and we have had several trips out of town, including Nobleton, Kleinâ€" burg and Etobicoke Township, where _ Describing what actually was done, Mr. Pierson gave The Times a descripâ€" tion of the process, as follows: "““'Fef);\rn‘rvfl and March of the next year," said Mr. Peirson, "were equally plicated to a layman, but in reality is very simple. _ An ordinary lighting transformer of 20 or 25 K.V.A. is used. It is connected one side to a 4400â€"volt primary. wire and the other primary wire to a grounded central circuit. Then one of the two secondary wires of 110 volts runs directly into the cusâ€" tomer‘s house and is connected to the water service pipe at the entrance to the cellar. The other secondary wire of 110 volts is cut through a water rheostat. At each end of the wire we form a coil, these coils being raised or lowered to increase or decrease the current required. The water rheostat ; is in reality an oak barrel, three quarters filled with water, completely submerging the copper coils, and it is necessary to place a quantity of salt in the water, making a brine solution over the coils. From the lower coil submerged in the barrel a wire is run to the frozen water pipe at a point at | or near the shutâ€"off at the street line. we have been called to thaw out frozâ€" en water pipes on farms." . "To thaw out a frozen water service pipe of threeâ€"quarterâ€"inch size not over 100 feet long approximately: 200 amperes of current at 110 volts is reâ€" quired to accomplish the work in from three to ten minutes time. Pipes of greater diameter and length require from 300 to 500 amperes to thaw out "Oh, I married, you know, and it died of a broken heart!" "Jealousy, I suppose." "Well, no, not exactly.

Haboush Makes Holy Land a Very Real Place in Minds of Large Number Those who attended Central United Church last Sunday morning to hear the message of Ste&hen A. Haboush, otherwise a native Galilean shepherd, and those who enjoyed his travelogue on Monday night, were truly enriched. To many the Holy Land, its people, their customs and traditions, mean little more than beautiful romance. To those who heard Mr. Haboush all thase will now have a new and fuller meaning, with a background of realâ€" ity. The story of the Lord as the humble Galilean will carry a new visâ€" ion and a deeper inspiration to them because they have gained a closer glimpse of the land, the conditions and the people of Palestine. _ _ > |__| _ On Sunday morning _ Mr. Haboush discoursed on the 23rd Psalm, or as it has been described, "The Shepherd‘s Song." In simple, beautiful language, the speaker described the life of a shepherd in Galilee, and it held in sharp contrast to the average persons wonceptions of Him whose life was spent with sheep on the hills of any land. He or she who listened to the speaker‘s story left Central Church with a deeper realization of the beautâ€" iful thoughts which the favorite Psaim conveys. His explanation of the shepherd‘s relation to the flock in his care, his vivid portrayal of the green pastures and the still waters, add to the beauty of the simple Psalm. One could almost imagine having trod the hillsides and mountains he described as he sought to illustrate the shepherd‘s life. More beautiful henceforth will the listener regard the characterization of the Saviour as a shepherd of souls.. It was the plain, simple vista into Galiâ€" lean life as it was in the days of our Lord, and still is for that matter, that Mr. Haboush sought to provide for his hearers. He succeeded. _ _ _ _ _ PAeie es {rovm-upn and young people as well now little of Palestine. Mr. Haboush, in his address and travalogue talk sought to overcome that ignorance. It does seem fltru‘:fie that the land where our Saviour t and spent His days nmonf men is one of the few which are nm‘.:t Ifhon;;t entirely overlooked in se geogra lessons.

He denounced the propoâ€" sition of the opposition to "dispense with government: officials of experâ€" ience in order to cut the expenses of administration" and expressed scant sympathy for the manner ‘"in which they were playing on the sentiments of the oppressed populace inâ€" these times." He touched on the very changâ€" ed conditions of ‘the times in so far as the calls of the administrative forces were concerned, pointing out that the present need for attacking the troubles of the day, while perhaps not dealing only concern ‘of the administrations of the past, in good times. The speaker touched on local condiâ€" tions, and the affairs of other areas placed under supervising boards, as a measure toward aiding the economic. situations of the districts, referred to the vast sums spent in relief measures,. stating that the governments had maintained the credit ‘of the province and the stability of the Dominion in the eyes of the world. "It is not Genâ€" eral Hepburn that we oppose, out Genâ€". eral Depression," said Mr. Macaulay.

"as it has been in the past by a policy of sane forward loo&ing legislature force of able administraâ€" tors, which may be assured by the careful analysis of the thinking elecâ€" torate guided by the efforts of the past in these extraordinary times." He "Can You think of ar\Â¥I country that you would rather be in than Canada?" asked Mr. Macaulay, as he spoke of the steadfast qualities of the peoples of the Anglo saxon races, who made up the majority of the people of this area, in the splendid manner in which they had and were facing conditions and economic stringencies, with a quiet assurance that they would imâ€" prove and a gratitude for the general efforts of the Federal and Provincial governments to alleviate the condiâ€" tions, in the expenditure of vast sums of money. _ Cl Ee i At the third of a series of getâ€"toâ€"| Good Samaritan. hig géther banquets of men of the congreâ€"| who robbed and went by he ation, hel:il in Westminster Church on | to the "exploiters" of r q‘nesda night, the pastor and his| whose motto, he said, wife, l{ev.
