Four barrels of old cider were seized by police and the owner charged with a violation of the Liquor Con. trol Act. The magistrate ordered the cider confiscated or disposed of and the proceeds turned over to the Red Cross or some charitable organize ation, rather than have it wasted by pouring it down a drain. This de- cision was reached on recommen- dation of Crown Attorney Lane, who suggested that it would make good vinegar, Found guilty of the charge, the accused was fined $10 and costs of $27.25, as well as losing his cider.

Chief Harold Nash, of Guelph, | declared that in seven municipal ities at the present 'time, pension- | ers were holding down important | posts. Young men in these depart- ments had only the future to look | forward to, but when pensioners of- | fer to take positions at reduced sal- | aries, the salaries of the depart- | ment were graded accordingly, and | decreased efficiency resulted.

Tomato Crop Ruined In Picton Area Fields Picton. Sept. 30.--A severe frost ruined the greater part of the to- matoes remaining in fields in Prince Edward County, Canners state that some districts suffered more heavily than others, but it was imnessible to estimate the damage until the fruit came in. | Harvesting the crop was two- | thirds over, but the season being two weeks later than usual. there were. thousands 'of bushels still on the vines, and at 40 cents a bushel this represents a severe loss. It also will mean that some canners will not be able to fill their contracts. Earlier in the season there was a frost which killed many fields of plants before picking began, and generally the yield was fair, dry weather retarding growth.

MAIL DELIVERIES HOLIDAY MORNING WILL BE RESUMED According to an announcement mail deliveries will be resumed on statutory holidays falling on a Mon- day. There will also be a mall de- livery service on Christmas Day. Early in the year the Post Office Department, in keeping with the general policy of the government to effect, where possible, operating economies in the administration of public departments, discontinued a mail delivery service on holidays. Since, however, the Honourable Mr. Mulock assumed the post of Post- master-General he has been study- ing the question in the light of the vital need for a regular daily mail cervice under present day emergent conditions. While Postmaster Gen- eral Mulock points out that the need for economy is still just as great as ever, he realizes that with Canadian business working on ov- ertime schedules, in many -cases night-and day for seven days a week, they should not be deprived of a mail service over a long week-end where a holiday falls on Monday. . Commencing, therefore, with the next Monday holiday, Thanksgiving Day, which falls on October 14th, there will be a morning mail deliv- ery service, Postmaster General Mulock also states that on Holiday Mondays a four hour postal wicket serviee will be resumed instead of the two hour service now in effect. | enlisted | Montgomery head of the ceramics | Council | nearest | when a man breaks or loses his Canadian Science Masters Guarded German Secrets =O Producing Glass Eyes Dominion's Only Artificial Optic Establishment Has Grown Under Patient Re- searcher Toronto, Sept. 30.--Up at Christie Street Hospital is located Canada's one and only glass eye establish- ment. It is due for enlargement any day now with its founder, Clifford Taylor, taking on one or two assist- ants so that veterans of this war may secure glass eyes if needed. Behind the bald announcement of the expansion of Clifford Taylor's little known business is a story of the triumph of Canadian ingenuity over a war-made crisis, through the mastering of closely guarded Ger- man trade secrets. Canada is the only country which, as a government. looks after the provision of artificial eyes for its war veterans. The Opthalmic Branch of the Department of Pen- sions and National Health started work under Mr. Taylor in 1920. Since then every pensioner who re- quired an artificial eye has been supplied with one and with replace- ments as needed. Supplied From: Germany Prior to the war eyes were ob- tained in a range of 400 colors, about half-finished, from a small family many and finished and fitted to the individual patient by Mr. Taylor, who travelled across the country every two years to attend to new cases The Mueller-Hipper family at Lauscha made the eyes from soda glass, the secret of which was known only in Germany. It is con- sidered superior to all other glass for the purpose. When the present war started the supply of partly-manufactured glass eyes was cut off and, while Mr, Taylor was able to make eyes from scratch, he had no way of getting soda glass Major C. A. Bell, M.C,, director of the orthopedic and surgical appli- ances division of the department, the aid of Prof. Robert division of the University of To- ronto, and a program of researcn was started. The object was to find a formula | for the German soda glass and pro- duce a glass with the same quali- ties as formerly obtained from Lauscha. The Bureau of Mines at Ottawa and the National Research aided. For a time it was thought the German Glass contain- ed Cryolite, a mineral found In | quantity in Greenland and used ex- tensively in the manufacture of | aluminum. Master Models Kept Eventually Prof. Montgomery | found a soda glass which met Tay- lor's requirements and then the problem was to get a manufacturer to produce it in the quantities re- quired. Several were but were either unable or unwilling to take on the job. Finally Major Bell interested a large United States glass concern which is now produc- ing the glass. Once a patient is fitted with an cye a master model is made and kept at Christie Street. Usually a spare is left at the district office the patient's home. So artificial eye or. when it becomes rough, as they do in about a year's time, he can get a replacement quickly. This whole system of catering to the comfort of nearly 1,000 veterans was threatened with a break-down at the start of the war. Thanks to | research and to Mr. Taylor's pat- | iently-acquired skill that threat has | been met, A \eteran of the last war, Taylor acquired his highly-specialized skill by experimenting with glass-blowing and coloring. He studied optometry and up to.the present has been the only eye-maker in Canada and one of the few in America. SOLDIER MOTORIST LOSES HIS PERMIT Pte. Otto Weaver Pleads Guilty to Dangerous Driv- ing After Highway Crash Lindsay, Sept. 30 Pte. Otto Weaver of Camp Borden, was given two years' suspended sentence and his driving license was suspended for the same period, in addition to being charged court costs amount- ing to $25, when he pleaded guilty to a charge of dangerous driving before Magistrate E. A. Gee in po- lice court here Friday. Provincial Constable William Mc- Brien of Lindsay, who laid the charge as the result of a motor ac- cident on Highway 35, 18 miles north of here, stated that Private Weaver driving to Coboconk, collided with another vehicle driven by Maurice Stevens, damaging both cars to a considerable extent. The Stevens' car was on the shoulder of the road. Capt. J. Mackenzie stated that the accused had recently completed a approached | rigorous driving course and had proven himself a fine soldier. "In view of his record he could not expect to obtain clemency under ordinary circumstances but it fis much better for him to obtain army Attorney J. E. Anderson, KC, stated. and having liquor in his possession serve seven days in jail. and was fined $100 and costs or in default three months in jail. The accused was arrested by Constable Alan Pittsin, Omemee, accused driving the car in an erra- tic manner. "I was attending a wedding an- niversary celebration and got a little too much liquor and beer," accused admitted. INDEX OF LIVING COSTS 15 CHANGED Will Base Figures on Con- ditions Between 1935 and 1939 | Ottawa, Sept. 30 -- A new cost of | living index for Canada has been inaugurated by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Long urged by labor organizations and social workers, the new index has been worked out by the Burean after consultation with the Federal Department of Labor and the War= time Prices and Trade Board. Com. plaints against the former index were that it was based on two few factors and did not indicate fully the fluctuations in living costs. The new index is based on living costs in the five years, 1935-39, re- placing the Labor Department ine dex which took 1914 levels as 100 and the Bureau's own former ine dex with 1926 as 100. It will reflect changes in the cost of a fixed budget covering retail prices of commodities, services and shelter costs, based on the experi- ence of 1439 urban wage-earner families In the year ended Sept. 30, 1938. These families, all self-sup- porting, had family earnings of $450 'to $2,500, each family averaging 4.8 persons. Since the outbreak of war the cost of living has increased rough- ly 5 per cent. due to general in- creases affecting all the principal family budget groups. The fuel ine dex has increased 95 per cent. clothing, 9 per cent.; foods, 6.1; home furnishings, 5.9; rent, 3; and sundries, 1.7.
