Jefford made a tour through the plant of the Steel Company of Canada 'Ltd. in Hamilton. As part of training. in Industrial _ Artg it is recommended by educational authorities to take the students on field trips through various industrial "concerns. These excursions through ~ industry help to 'broaden the outlook of our youth, to suppleniént their + training along industrial lines and to give them an'insight into the internal workings of commercial enterprise. This trip fulfilled these aims, ! Just as soon as the busses from the country "arrived. at the school - our chartered trip was ready to start, On our way to Hamilton we had arranged a stop-over at the Ford. plant in Oak- ville, The buildings here _ at the as- sembly plant are so expansive - 'that "small tractor driven trains are em- ployed to escort those who wish to visit the plant. On one of these trains we followed the assembly line from the beginning till the finished car rolled away under its own power. The boys enjoyed this excursion but were quite disappointed that there were no last year's models given . a- way as samples. ; For lunch we stopped at a restau- 'rant along the highway where it was really amazing to see how fast we were seryeéd to our satisfaction--all a7 of us. At the Steel Company our guides were waiting to escort us over the 500 | ficres which represent the plant. We were lucky we didn't have to walk. We could stayson the bus to visit each area. This was a big. seving on shoe leather. "At the coking ovens we watched as one of these were emptied. (there is a whole bank of ovens which are so} arranged that every seven minutes one is discharged). Considering the time. the coking process takes (30 hours) we were quite amazed at the efficien- cy of this.section of the industry. Of the 17 tons of coal in each oven, 13% tons of coke are produced and 3% tons of bi-product gases, some of which are used for heating elsewhere in the plant and other parts changed into synthetics e.g. nail polish, etc. We were not allowed near the big blast furnaces which produce, depend- ing on size, from 100-to 600 tons of pig iron daily. The iron ore, which is brought in by boat during the sum- mer months, together with limestone as a flix and coke are placed in at the top and these are gradually fused down to produce molten rg iron at the bottom. Next on our tour were the open hearth furnaces. Here the pig iron with scrap iron is mixed together with other additives such as bismuth. ete. to produce mild steel. Huge ladles are used to transport the molten metal which looks very like 'hot taffy when it is poured. When the steel in these furnaces is at the right consistency it is poured into ingots weighing from 7-16 tons each, The moulds for these ingots are removed as soon as the metal solidifies, and the ingots are then placed in soaking pits which maintain a temperature of about 2300° F. until the steel is ready to be rolled: At the blooming mill t this hot steel is rolled in much the same manner as mother would roll cake dough, and gradually each block of steel is shap- ed into long rods for re-inforcing steel, nails, ete. or rolled flat into. sheet steel to be later made into gal: : vanized seel or_tin plate. To top off the day we enjoyed an evening at the Maple Leaf Gardens. Chicago won! Still we arrived home tired but happy after a big day. Let's do it again another year! 9 Pearson May Be J Orono "iif ro. PORT HOPE--Liberal 'Teader Lester B.

Married life, Ontario County Jr. Farmers Plan Projects for 1958 'The 1958 executive of the Ontario County Junfor' Farmers Association held their: first meeting of the year 'in the Dept. of Agriculture Office, Uxbridge, 'on Wednesday, January 29. Bert Pearson, President of the asso- ciation, was in charge of the meeting. Several projects of interest to Junior Farmers were discussed. ..The Annual At-Home Dance will be held in Uxbridge in mid April. Junior Farmer Club agreed to select a candidate to try out for the Junior Farmer Travelling Scholarships to Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1958." Plans were finalized for the TV Competition which will appear on Channel 3, Barrie, at 5.30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 11th. Plans were also made for the Coun- ty Square Dancing Competition to be held on Thursday, February 7th. The Junior Farmer Leadership Training School will again be held in Bramp- ton in March. All Junior Farmer clubs in the county are planning to send representatives to this Leader-| ship Training, School. ------ Drivers An' increasing proportion of auto- mobile drivers will be of teen-age in the years ahead and, unless these young people can be taught to be responsible behind the wheel, Canada faces a "staggering" toll of dead and injured, says the Imperial Oil Review in its February issue. : Today "drivers in the 16-21 age group have twice as many accidents as all other drivers and kill 50 per cent more people. They kill 11 times more people than 'the safest drivers, the 46-50 years olds, The Review warns that the situa- tion "could blow up in our faces" as the bumper crops of war and post- war babies reach driving age. Today there are 1,600,000 Canadians in the 16-21 age bracket; by 1966 there will be 2,700,000. The article proposés stricter law 'enforcement and a stepped-up pro; gram of professional instruction for young drivers. In -three Manitoba high schools offering safe driving in- struction, the accident rate among graduates was only one-eighth that of the average motorist. .. Most adults, it says, believe they are qualified driving instructors. The safety record of the 'home-taught teen- agers doesn't support this. Studies show that young drivers who have tion are twice as safe as others of their age who have had no such train- ing. Each Electrical Fire «| Hazards in the Home The nfisuse of electricity caused 2.517 fires with a loss of $2,836,022 in the Province of Ontario during 1966. One out of every ten tires in Ont, was caused by the misuse of Sleotri, city. FUSES--Fuses are the ately val: ves in your electrical wiring, Fuses greater than 16 amperes must not be used in ordinary lighting and recep- tacle circuits, as the conductors in these circuits can' safely carry only 16 amperes." Never replace blown fuses with pennies, washers, tin foil or oversize fuses. If 156 ampere fuses 'will not allow you to operate the lights and appliances which are now con- nected in a circuit, then this circuit is overloaded, FLEXIBLE CORDS--Flexible cords must not be used for permanent wir. ing, that is, to make 'permament ex- tensions to circuits. These cords. are not large enough to safely carry as much current as the permanent wir- ing without becoming dangerously overheated. Flexible cords create electrical fire hazards when they are: (a) bare or badly deteriorated; (b) run under rugs; (c) nailed to baseboards, door or window frames, walls & ceilings; (d) run through partitions, walls and ceilings; (d) run through partitions, alls and floors; (e) permanently connected to. per- manent wiring by splices or joints (f) operating appliances -- which have heating elements such as kettles, toasters, irons, rangettes and heaters; (g) used to provide multiple bran- ches and outlets from one socket or outlet, FIXTURES AND APPLIANCES-- All fixtures and appliances must be approved-by the Canadian Standards Association. Check for: (a) home-made and unapproved fix- tures and appliances; (b) loose or improperly-made joints and connections; (c) deteriorated wiring in fixtures --usually caused by heat; (d) wattage of lamps (light bulbs) too high for fixtures; (e) deteriorated fixtures, denoted \ by rust, bare wires, broken sock- ets; (f) drop cords used to operate irons, toasters and heaters, or other appliances. If you receive an electrical shock from any appliance, have it checked immediately. : PERMANENT "WIRING Check for (a) bare or improperly-made and taped joints and connections-- loose electrical connections may produce excessive heat; (b) sparking switches; (c) receptacles (wall plugs) that heat up when in use; (d) objects hung on open wiring; (e) cables connecting water heaters, oil burners, sump pumps, dryers and other electrical equipment; (f) switches, receptacles and light - outlets, in the house and garage; (g) interference on radio or tele- vision receivers -- this may be caused by poor electrical connec tions in your wiring system, If you recognize any of these haz. ards in your home, for advice, call on: The nearest inspection office of: The Hydro-Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario; Your muni- cipal Hydro or Public Utilities Commission; and engage a qualified electrician to carry out any necessary repairs, al. terations or additions to the wiring. Weather Balloon Picked Up A Canadian -Weather Ballon was picked-up by Mr, Lloyd Fawns back of the barn on his farm, the 6th Con. of Reach. Mr. Fawns reports that the ballon is about 5 feet high with a radio device attached and a parachute which brings the apparatus slowly to earth after the balloon breaks, The 100th Annual Congregation ~The 100th 'Annual meeting of: the | xt congregation of Burn's Church was held in the Church basement on Thurs- day, January 16th, at 8 par. with a good attendance, The meeting opened with the sing- ing of "My Faith Looks Up to Thee", '| after which Dr, Armstrong read the Scripture, followed by prayer, The financial reports of all the var- ious branches of the church were read and each showed that they had had 'a very good year. Mr. Norman An- derson read the Church report and it was very gratifying to know that there was a substantial balance of approximately $1100.00, The Sunday School report read by Mr. Luther Bradley showed receipts $872.98, expenses $732.42, Balance on hand $140.66. He stated that $360.00 had been forwarded to missions. The Bible Society report "was read by Mr. Edgar Heron. $120.00 had been collected and forwarded to the head office in Toronto.

Doble. $452 had been raised during 1957. Mrs. F. Daw reported for Junior Church. Their total receipts were $61.41, ex- penses $40.30, leaving a balance of $11.11. The Ladies' Bible Class report, was given by Mrs. Wm. Gardner which showed the total receipts amounted to $123.72. : Messrs. Russell Batten, Andrew Heron and Luther Bradley were re- '| appointed as managers for a 3 year term. Mr. N. Anderson was reap- pointed as congregation treasurer. Vera Leach as envelope secretary, and Messrs. Arthur Richardson and Edgar Heron as auditors. The meeting then adjourned. Mr. Walter Kerr invited Dr. and Mrs. Armstrong to come forward and take their appointed seats on the platform. The following address was read: ' Dear Dr. and Mrs. Armstrong,-- This is a time which every congre-' gation and its pastor must meet, whether the pastorate be short. I make reference to the sev- erance of the work of a minister and | his congregation. This is brought about by varying circumstances, The minister perhaps, after a certain time, deems it best both for himself and the congregation, that he go to another: field to carry on the work for which he has prepared himself. --In this instance -we are happy to know that this is not the case. We, as a congregation, were very sorry to hear from you, Dr. Armstrong, that your doctor had advised your retire- ment, and the resignation of yourself as our pastor followed. "I am sure that all those present will agree, that the pastorate while you have been our minister, has been a most happy one. No minister and his wife could have been more interested and helpful in the work of the con- gregation, than 'you and Mrs, Arm- strong have been. Any advice or guidance asked of either of you, was freely, sincerely and helpfully given. As a congregation, we wish you both many happy years to come in the new home you have built for yourselves in Port Perry. All of ue will be.as pleased to have you both visit us as friends as we were when you visited us as our pastor. As a slight token of remembrance we would like you Dr. Armstrong to accept this chair and you Mis. Armstrong this leather bag. Signed, Ashburn Congregation.
