O/3ts and1 ()ieces ' WHAT RESULTS - Last week we Iàýkd if any- one had information concerning the Royal Arcan- um organîzation. Our enquiry certainly brought resuits. Bill Quick telephoned Thursday evenlng, John Hynes of Tyrone brought us some more data on Friday and also showed us a pin of the group. E. W. Berrili provided stili further material. This organization functioned here as an insurance lodge sometime around the turn of the century. It is stili going strong in the United States and there is ani office in Montreal and Toronto. There were many local members. We suspect it may have met in ane of the rooms- over The Statesman t ~- j t t CLOCK AVAILABLE- With the changeover from borses to battery aperated trucks, the Glen Rae Dairy takes another major step forward this week. On Church St. we shall miss Sandy and Mr. Abernethy because our two-year-old fed the horse brcad every morning, but progress is pro- gress and costs are costs. Glen Rae had hoped ta have a photo of driver Clarence Devries wîth a hand cart on which he helped his father deliver milk in I-oland some years ago, but the photo didn't arrive in time. As a result of the new set- up, Glren Rae now has a special alarm dlock devîce available for someone. R. R. Stevens rigged it up 'way back about 1929 when they moved into town. The dlock wcnt off at 3:30 a.m. and triggered a catch which dumpcd the horses' food into their trough. As they take about an hour to cat, it saved a man f rom being on duty. Now, the electric carts don't necd it so long as the power stays on to recharge their batteries. 1- t j- t BUZZING IN THIE TREES - Mel Dale of Mason & Dale has a real problem.

Thc Dales are making more extensive use of their fr-ont door these days. t t~ j NEW ORGANIZATION - Last Thursday even- ing, a group of business, professional and agri- cultural men, tcntativcly callcd Bowmanville Devclopment Association, met with council at the Flying Dutchman Hotel. Thcy outlîncd a proposai on which 'theSr have been working quîetly for some time, to set up a fully-scrviced area of good land available for ncw industry. They have been able ta obtain cammitmcnts from two local owncrs for set prices on the land which is east on thc Base Line near the old brick works. They also propose ta follow through by farming a company which would be able to finance construction of a factory bujilding should the nccd arise'. The group realîzes that the town must have industry or face ever-increasing taxes as residential growth con- tinus wihoutit. It could be the f irst positive step in a program toward rcvcrsing the taxation trend which lias been dcvcloping in recent years. RIGIIT IN CLOVER - Isaac Hardy of Solina had The Statesman staff flabbergastcd on Tuesday when he displayed a fuil-house of many-leaved claver. He hiad the complete set, ranging from four-leaved clover to eight-leaved. Thcy wcre located on his cousin's (Arthur Knight) farm at Goodwood.
