This particular firm of which .we speak tried to reverse our opinion and have us say in efiect that advertising is reading matter. The advertising in question had nothing the matter with it, was not dishonest, was clean. and all that. but we con- sidered that had we accepted it would have been dishonest in trying to have our readers accept for reading matter that for which we had received money Some weeks ago The Chronicle re- ceived a tentative contract for a ser- ies of readers, flity inches in. all, to advertise a well-known Canadian firm. and would have accepted it but for one thingâ€"there was a condition at- tached which we did not like, do not believe in. and would nOt stand for.

So far there have been only eight men link up with the or- ganization, and as they are all bass singers a movement is on foot to en- list the services of the tenor section in order to give the choir balance and have it function properly. The practices are to be held every Wednesday evening at 7.30 , in the High school and so far the formation of the choir has been fully justified. It is to be hoped the younger men of the town who are at all musically in- clined will lend their aid and while learning to delight local audiences withtheirsingingwmatthesame time derive a great Wt for them- selves both now and in later years.

Four champion- ships for Durham this winter! good at attending these organization meetings, it must be admitted that they are regular attendants at the games, and while it is next to impos- sible to get an active committee to shoulder the work, Durham’s hockey teams have always received liberal patronage at their games. Northern leagues. This will be good news to the major- ity of the hockey fans around town, all of whom would be disappointed if the winter season should go by without a few games of the national pastime. “We must have meetin’s” was a favorite saying around town a few years ago. but of late it seems that we cannot have any, at least any in which very much interest is shown. At the hockey meeting called for last Monday evening there was a very slim attendance of the older inhabitants. and while the younger set were well represented, it was felt that it would not be wise to go any further at pre- sent and that another meeting should be called later to elect officers. really no meeting, and no «summation took ' place. we hive it on good author- ity that there is every likelihood of both junior and intermediaae teams FOUR TEAMS LIKELYi HOCKEY ONCE MORE Meeting on Monday Wu Very 81m!!!

It I!“ If speed and efficiency are not constantly on the climb these are the people who know it first and then there is a grand hunt to find out what’s gone wrong. The number of errors of all kinds has been reduced from 40 in every 1,000 calls to 16, which is over ninety-eight per cent perfect. HIS YOUNG LADY’S JOB is to “clock" the telephone service. She sits there with her decimeter snap watch and measures to tenths of a second the time taken to complete a call. G'cher “clockers” record the errors made, the speed with which‘ ‘”trouble is re- paired, all the items of telephone efficiency. It is a good game. It gets. results.

HERE ARE “CLOCKERS” at work in other directions too and here are some of the things they have recorded. The time taken to repair “trouble" on a line now has been cut to one-third of the time taken five yars ago.
