the tribune stouffville ont thursday april 4th 1940 page three we wont discard the old sleigh just yet coming home for the easter holiday provided something in the way of a thrill which the city folks had not reckoned with despite the frantic efforts to keep the township roads open the snow piled up like mountains and traffic between stouffville ami bloomington only 2 miles away was blocked

vehicles in the place at the time but a number of children playing close by ran for home declaring that german bombers had arrived from somewhere there was a great crash when the shed went down which could be heard for several blocks the demand for shed space has become so small that it is possible the church officials may decide not to re build the wrecked section how ever in case of storms the sheds are appreciated even as a haven for automobiles a basket of lovely spring flowers decorating the chansel of the united church last sun day were placed there in mem ory of the late mrs charles perry and were the gift of her daughter mrs e venables of hamiota manitoba the late mrs perry one of the towns oldest women died in 1936 complaint was made before the council on monday evening

judge rutherford is the leader of this religious sect which has a strong following in the states where it was founded by the late pastor russell steps were taken last week to have a county outfit thaw out frozen catch baisins on main street and much of the ice has been cut away so that the pave ment is in a very satisfactory condition this spring the intei- est taken by the reeve and road committee of the council may not be bringing in a flood of congratulations and thanks but the fact that there is no volume of kicks indicates that the ratepayers are satis fied business is like that so long as one is carrying on and doing an honest job little is said hut if mistakes are made and poor business practises us ed then we hear about it from mr john public mrs w verner of new york city was in town last week vis iting her mother mrs ira freel and her brother dr h b free and family it was the former kathleen freel who first sug gested to the tribune that we should have a life subscription rate for the tribune and she says the idea is carried out by some h s magazine publica tions any newspaper that has received such a request may last friday was heighho for brantford and a visit to the cockshutt factory for several farmers from the stouffville district friends and customers of c h bell son cockshutt dealer for stouffville and vicin ity they included eugene lemon frank whetter albert batt clifford lemon henry burnett and others the party arrived at the huge factory about 1100 am and found farmers from alliston barrie beeton cookstown dundalk flesherton orange- ville penetang stayner thorn- bury tottenham one of the group said that to start things off we had our pictures taken then specially trained guides took us in hand and our tour commenced we started in the shipping depart ment where thousands cf cockshutt farm implements are shipped to all parts of the world next we came to the great warehouses here 250000 square feet of floor space is set aside for storing new cock shutt implements awaiting shipment i never saw so much machinery in one spot the drill assembly department was the next stop and here we saw new drills being put to gether run in by motors then tested by hand for smooth easy operation from here we went through the inspection depart ment the paint shop was the last spot we visited before lunch we saw different parts of implements dipped in huge vats of bright paint saw them dried in great baking ovens then striped and stencilled with the trade mark we were entertained by the company at a bangup lunch and heard the company heads speak after inspecting and discus sing the cockshutt line for 1940 which was arranged in display along the sides of the long lunch room we resumed our inspection trip the afternoon tour was the most interesting part of the visit all agree for it was at this time that we saw what a really intricate business it is to turn out the farm equip ment we use we saw how thorough was the work of the highlyskilled machinists some of whom had twenty to thirty- five years experience doing the same or similar jobs the press and shear room took our breath away there was one press capable of exert ing 400 tons pressure all of it controlled by a jight touch on a foot treadle we saw great shears which slice metal sheets as easily as you could cut through cheese and a whole- hog drill which bored seven teen holes with 100 per cent accuracy and so fast you could not believe your eyes there were several huge machines for shaping plow beams bull dozers they called themand they bend the tough steel beams as easily as you could bend a wax candle row upon row of electricallycontrolled gasheated furnaces heat differ ent parts for heattreatment which puts toughness where it is needed in the finished mach ines one of the most impress ive things we saw was the pouring of liquid iron at 2300 degrees fahrenheit into care fully fashioned moulds this moulding process drew many expressions of awe from all of us it was a great trip and an ex- perience most of us will never forget agreed the stouffville farmers consider it quite a compliment and we too accept it as such friends will be interested to know that mr and mrs verner and family intend to leave new york this spring to locate down in texas near the louisi ana border which is native soil of mr verner they have sold their home on bayside long island the pictorial atlas says that texas has all kinds of weather under the sun and the same may be said of its soil in the north spring season is marked by winter snow and ice while the south is hot and dry there is the highland sections with delightful weather most all the time stock raising was the chief industry until the il finds pushed ahead and took first place quality
