siding put on their homes Reputable dealers in the area think the sharks have invait ed Sirncoe ounty again this spring The sharks says Terry Kerr of Painswick Aluminum Painswick are men without much experience in siding She warns lie wary of who youre dealing with She advises it the person isnt advertised or isnt local dont deal with them She says the sharks are out oftowners Their prices might seem cheaper than anyone elses in the area but dont tool yoursell she said You only get what you pay for Mrs Kerr said older people are most easily conned lnce something goes wrong with the siding theyre stuck shesaid The workers have long since gone llut if you have the work done by local person you know where to contact them it you have problems Sharks like buds on trees come out in the spring time Thats when most people think about making repairs to the home said Mrs Kerr Most often sharks put up siding but dont use proper trims or tools To someone who doesnt know about siding they might think the job looks good she said But believe me it hasnt been done proper ly Ilefore having any work done advises Mrs Kerr get estimates froin various com panies If you get low estimate from someone dont automatically assume the other companies are charging too much she said Find out what kind of materials all com panies are using Then make choice Mrs Kerr and her husband Peter have been in the siding business for five years She says prices are higher this year than last but only by about five per cent Even with the rise in prices she says aluminum siding definitely adds to the value ot property But thats not the only benefit of it With aluminum siding youll never need to paint your house again she said If you have wood however youll be painting every two years As well siding adds to the insula tionot the house Although lrs Kerr doesnt advise buying lirtlryolltStll siding kiils many Stmeoe oun ty companies say sales ot the kits are good ardinal ash aiiil tarry Inc at Highways

when illness doesnt strike lltt prcmise of chiropractic is that it stems from neurological distunc tion or breakdown in messages from the brain to the body through the nervous system says Dr llockridge The spinal core contained in the spinal column is the main trunk of the system and for this reason chiropractors consider this area the probable root of the problems and concentrate on it through manipulation rather than medication lti addition to the more com mon complaints of back an juries chiropractors also treat patients with persistent headaches neuralgia aiiil even personality psychiatric or disorders which have been observed in many accidental cases of whiplash says Dr llockridge Some painful heart diseases such as Angina which have not responded to medication have been relieved through manipulation he says However the prolession locs Attended Junior Farmers conference Among the 350 participants at last weekends Junior Farmers Association provincial conference at the

retail specials and buying more of the less tender shoulder cuts rather than choice loin cuts not claim to cure through manipulation The one thing they taught us at school is that the only things you

results lanipulation ol the spine works but we kont know ex actly how says Dr luck ltut no one can say how an aspirin works either Much ol the false impressions of chiropractic as more niiuiiliojunibo than scientilic method is based on the idea of one cause one cure which is not alid sayslr Tuck out right Illness doesnt come from onccause We as chiropractors feel that the structural part of the body affects its function Spinal manipulation is basically painless adjust ment and the descriptions such as bonccrackersf are due to horror stories which have been blown all out of pro portion says Dr Ken Robin SOII You still hear those terms but its not something get upset about any more hiropractic is not perteci science and has its lair share ot ailures says Dr Robinson but their intensive training makes them much more than quarks At the end of six years graduates front the college in Toronto have shared much ot the same grounding in sciences such as chemistry physic biology and psychiatry as medical students You have got to have something between your ears before you can complete the program says ltr llockridge Some members ot the medical profession especially in the field ol neurology have come to recognize the validity of thechiropractors view point Researchers have been going through the early writings and theories of lalmer with less scepticism lr llockridge says The old boy wasnt as cray as they thought he was Elevators dot area By BRIAN BAKER MIDLAND We had seen them from distance The grain terminals better known as elevators surround southeastern Georgian Bay were large but we still were not prepared for the Tiffin Elevators owned and operated by anadian National Railways on idland Bay In his office John Seymour elevator supervisor explained that this terminal receives most grain from the Lakehead at Thunder Bay by freighter during late summer and fall This grain goes out by the train load to Eastern Canadian sea ports for eventual shipment to Europe and Russia STAYS WIIII IIARI WHEAT At one time corn oats and other grains were handled here said Mr Seymour but now we stay with regular hard wheat summer soft wheat and barley which present virtually no storage problems and we can readily obtain huge quan tities The elevators resemble gigantic honeycomb of circular concrete silos in solid block of sidebyside rows So large are these elevators that they cover four and half acres of land and have storage capacity of over four and half million bushels of grain LICtl ItthIlt ttltl FT IIIGII The leg tower is un unusual structure about the size of barn but it is built straight up over hundred feet high and is built on forty railway wheels This thousandton freighter unloading unit or building can be pulled by two hundred IlttlStpUWCl winches back and forth on tracks along the length of the waterfront side of the elevators From this mobile building sixtyton bucket elevator the leg can be extended out and down into the holds if the ships to unload the grain into the elevator bins Believe me that elevator can move grain fast remark ed Williams It can unload boat at the rate of better than twenty thousand bushels an hour seven bushels second We can empty small boat in nine hours ne of the big bulk freighters is little different because they carry anything from twenty to thirty thousand tons and might take up to forty eight hours to unload In fact four or five of the biggest freighters could pretty well fill our storage thats how much they can carry per trip He explained how the machinery in the leg tower elevated the grain from the holds of the ship to the top of the tower dropped it back into scales near the botlo of the tower then reelevateil to the top of the tower and then piped it across to the main elevator storage complex hope you are not nervous of height said Mr Williams Shipload of wheat to arrive next week and so some of the bins are empty and it looks long way down to the bottom iii them IlRIIIlIIAKIti SIGHT The sight as we stepped out from the elevator room onto the catwalk leading from one side to the other across the top of the battery of cavernous storage silos was breathtaking to say the least The sheer size of the building covering the storage bins four and half acres ii size was overwhelming It wasnt so bad looking into the full bins but when we crossed over the yawning black pits of the empty bins despite the safety of the catwalk tending we gripped the guard rail lit tletightcr The regular of full sie bins circular in shape are tliirtyv two feet across and eighty feet deep and hold fiftylive thou sand bushels while the spaces in between which are also used as storage bins hold sixteen thousand bushels Along the waterfront side of the top of the elevator building runs great 360 foot conveyor belt onto which grain coming in from the leg tower is dropped This fast moving belt carrying the grain in its sagged centre carries the grain along until it reaches system of roller drums around which the belt nuts in machine called trip per This diverts the grain onto another conveyor belt running at right angles to it which in turn carries the grain out across the tops of the storage bins on gantry system another tripper being used to deflect the grain into which ever bin is to be filled The grain is travelling so fast that it acts like fast moving water so that when it goes over the end of the tripper it keeps on going straight out until it strikes the deflector describ ed Mr Williams You wouldnt believe it until you see it When you are underneath an empty bin and the grain first starts hitting the bottom it soundsjust like thunder He explained how when bin is being emptied through the bottom hatch it does not empty the bottom grain first but forms natural tube through which the grain descends from the top of the bin down through the centre Any work is com pteted when no grain is being taken out of the bin or when the bin is empty and can be readily entered through the bottom hatch safety feature in every bin is toptobottom ladder The inaniiy contains iiicti and uarter heiin ropes are used to rive machinery between the bottom and the top of the elevators These rope belts have continuous lengths up to 1800 and two 2000 feet long and run over sixipulley sheaves bet ween motors on the ground and machines in the top of the We are cxpectng another elevater
