.VOL.65; XO. 8 ®l)je /k0i)^rU*n airwni:^* FLESHERTON. ONT., WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1945 W. H. Thurston & Son, Publishers 1-ightning Knocks Out Maple Valley Farmer ^Harold Scott, young farmer of the Maple Valley community, had an ex- tterience with lightning on Friday a^- «ernoon, July 13th, which he never ^opes to have repeated. In fact he IS grateful to be alive and unharmed *iter having been knocked out by a *olt which shattered a fence post within twenty feet of where he was walking. "* Harold was working in the fields ^rith his tractor when the siform came ,*ii. He stopped the machine and .^rted up the lane towards the house aibout forty rods away. The rest of •the story is told by his wife. â€" V\Tien Harold came into the house he waa irv a daze, really sema-con- "Scious. His face was covered with •i>lood. The S'torm broke in great ^ury and another bolt entered the Scott home on the telephone wires "and split the telephone box and started a fire which Mrs. Scott ex- Jianguished with a pail of water. _Wh€n Harold recovered sufficiently they were aible to retrace his move- "Tnents and realize what had happen- ed. He had been knocked over by the "t>olt which hit the fence post. He "evidently fell on his face striking his .iCose on a stone which was the cause j>f a severe nose bleed. He does not know how long he lay in the lane but "Vhen he was able to regain his feet -he had sense enough to proceed to Jhe house. ' The nose bleed may have saved his | life because bleeding is an old remedy -for concussion by lightning. â€" The storm was one of the worst that hit the district in years and "Mrs. Scott says it provided her with -a most exciting experience which she doesn't wish to eo through "again. â€" Creemore Star. New Gas- Pump Order Is Boon To Veterans The Drew Government has come to the rescue of ex-servicemen who wish to operate gasoUne stations but find themselves unable to com- ply wih regulations which prohibit the installation of visible type mea- sure pumps. Because of the curtail- ment of manufacture of meter-type pumps during the war, this regula- tion now rescinded, would have had the effect of keeping veterans out of the gasolhre station business. "The Order-in-Council passed by the Government will enable return- ed soldiers to use available equip- ment until such time as meter-type pumps are available", said Highways Minister George Doucett. "The new regulation permits installation of vi- sible measure pumps up to Jan. 1, 1947." Under another regulation change, service station operators and gaso- line distributors have been granted an extension until Jan. 1, 1962; in connection with removal of visible measure pumps. Previously they were required to remove this equip- ment not later than Jan. I, 1947. A third change effects gasoline dispensing equipment at present in- stalled on public right-of-way or within eight feet of the right-of- way. Such equipment may now re- main in place until Jan. 1. 1952, bu- no new installations at these loca- tions are permitted. JDurham Obtains Industry * Work has been started on the "Tauilding which a number of Durham "business men are financially inter- __ested in, which is being erected for ""the Kitchen Oiierall and Shirt Com- â€"pany of Brantford, on property on ^the east side of Garafraxa street purchased from the estate of the >Iate Mrs. Robert Millburn. The •'building will be 120 ft. by 84 ft. of "concrete construction and it is hop- __e<l it will be completed by October "ist. The comipany will employ »-about 50. to begin with, 15 men and _35 girls, and is the kind of industry needed in that town.

Canada Watches Egg Shipments To Britam .Although the British consider Canadian dried egg powder the best made, they are delighted to be able again to serve eggs in the shell. Now that the U-boat menace is over and shipping space is less restricietf, Canada has resumed export of shell eggs to Britain. To examine the condition of these eggs on arrival, the Dminion De- partment of .\griculture assigned one of its officials, Hugh Cochrane, of Winnipeg, to London. There he examined incoming egg shipments, reporting to the Special Products Board his suggestions for irreprov- ing packing and stowage. Mr. Cochrane says that the qual- ity of Canadian eggs on arrival ia Britain is remarkably good and that British consumers are finding them as tasty as eggs laid in Britain. He adds, however, that there are still improvements to be raade in stamp- ing, packing, and stowing eggs. He has now returned to Canada and his experience and findings are being made available to Canadian egg sta- tions and operators. DANCE IN MAXWELL Dance in Orange Hall. Maxwell, Friday.
