He sald he was travelling at approximately 80 miles per hour and the road was slippery and heavy fog hung over the district at the time, "I saw two cars coming towards me, one passing the other," he sald, "I slowed down and just af- ter they passed me, Skrow's car came, He was skidding down the road sideways at me and I could not get over to the side of the road enough to avoid him." Provincial Constable Gordon Keast sald that when he arrived the Barber car was against the guard rail facing in a southerly direction; and Skrow's car was facing east.

Engineer (Continued from Page 1) 4000 years ago, gas fixtures and fin. ally the tungsten filament incandes- cent light bulb developed by Edi son in the 19th century. The new era opened to the world by the uce "of electricity ushered into homes around the globe, the increasingly popular fluorescent lamp. This light being from two to five times brighter per watt than the incan- descent lamp, Ladouceur explained it this way. The fluorescent light was made pos- sible by developing the energy given off by the invisible light waves in the spectrum, with a frequency of 2587 vibrations per second, This called 2637 energy. Light is given off by the phospherous covering on the inside of the tube, After a long complicated process electrons are made to go from one end of the tube to the other end of the tube. These electrons which are only two trilllonths of an inch In size strike atoms of mercury which are ener« gized and make a path for the el- ectrica)] current to pass along, from the anode, at one end of the tube to the other, the electroxie, The gas in the tube then glows, it usually being either Argon, Neon, or He- Hum, Precision Menufacturine Ladouceur sald, "Material for these lamps comes from all over the world, great care and precision manufacturing being necessary in there construction, For example, the coating of phosphorous on the inside of the tube must be three cna hundredths of an inch thick." Green light which is the most ef- ficient fluorescent lamp is white when not lit. There are pink-white lamps and yellow-white lamps, The Iatter make tomatoes look brown and butter look green, Gold lamps he says, should be used in toy and silver departments, as this light in creases the desirability of the art fcles, He advised ed lamps for Ohristmas for their color, and with a gleam in his eye said, "There are other things which emphasize Christmas besides red lights." Ladouceur next explained what is required to start a lamp, a 40 per- cent higher voltage which after starting the lamp cuts back to the normal flow of electricity, He went into great detail on chokes, ballast, and automatic switch starters, To Problems "Problems in the Field" was the last subject entered into by Mr, La- douceur, He told what to look for if any trouble should crop up and what to do, to remedy it. He assured the audience that practi cally no equipment was required to test the lamps for defect, other than an extra lamp and a starter switch, Sometimes things are simplified if other equipment is ug- ed, but usually this is not necs« sary, Radios are not affected by the lamps if they are at least ten feet away, and glso if there is no feed back, The program ended with a film, "In and out of the Wringer" which % told what not to do when any elec- trical appliance went on the "hum- mer." Board of Works (Continued from Page 1) was considered essential for the proper uncon of the depart- ment in view of the inoreased dute les it has assumed. These were $6,600 to replace two of the trucks; $1,850 for a jeep with snowplow blade to be used in winter for plowing out intersections and other Jobs for which it is not economical to use a larger plow; $10,000 for a motor grader; $4300 for a snow loader; $1,808 for the snowplow frame which has been obtained for the new street flusher; $230 for a 10-ton hydraulic jack for the gar- age}- $350 for two sand spreaders; $3,500 for a portable alr compres- sor; and $600 for an engineer's sure vey instrument, The chairman of the Board of Works, Ald, Michael Starr, also re- commended the purchase of a new sanitary collector which could be used for ploking up such materials as cartons put out as garbage in the business area. At present an ordinary truck is belng used for this purpose, In an endeavour to out down expenditure to the essentials, it was agreed to omit this item from the budget this year. Among the items in the street cleaning budget are $1,600 for flushe Ing streets, $8,400 for general street cleaning, and $2,400 for cleaning L | eatch basins, in addition to the $11,000 provided for snow removal, Out Bridge Repair Item Chief amounts under the Board of Works section are $132,600 for Brave) and ditching 8,000 for sidewalk repairs, #6, p b vnding [ang Walks and or pavement repairs, A pro. amount of $4500 in connec~ tion with repairs to the Simcoe Btreet South bridge near the lake that this would be a waste of money when the need for replacing this ly was 80 urgent. City Engin. eer W, T, Dem; pointed out that even if a new ge wire decided go floods, : his bellet that the ex- penditure on road oiling was a worthy one, Ald, Starr pointed out that the ctly has approximately 70 miles of dirt roads to maintain and of this total nearly 95 per cent. are oiled in the summer, Farmers Object To Higher Rate For Carpenters Strong opposition to the increase in carpenters' wages in the Oshawa ares proposed at Monday night's meeting of the carpentry trade with representatives of the Ontario De- partment of Labor was voiced by Lt.-Col. R. B. Smith, President of the Maple Leaf Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company, the farmers in the area who had intended to attend but were unable to do so because of the storm, point- ed out that his company has a re- bullding clause In its policies and that it would be im le to re- build & barn or replace it if $1.20 per hour is charged by carpenters. Lt.-Col. Bmith at the same time asked if barns in the defined area could not be excluded. When informed by the represen- | tative of the Department of Labor ' that there were no exclusions, Lt.- Col, Smith declared it was time ac~ tion was taken to bring about a change as it was not fair to the farmers. He also ralsed the point that the definéd area was too large, Continuing Lt.-Col, Smith doubt- ed whether there would be much barn construction work done if the increase came into effect and as a result the pockets of the carpen- ters would be hit, -- a ------------ Plan Meeting To Talk Artificial Insemination A well-attended director's meetng of the Ontario County Holstein Breeder's Olub was held in the Ag- ricultural Office, Uxbridge, on Fri- day, February 7. It was decided that the Ontario County Club would hold a plenie of their own this year on June 14, and the place wil] announced at a later date. A discussion arose concerning th» advisability of forming an artificial insemination club in this county to be affillated with the Maple Ar.ifi- clal Club in York County. As all breeders in the county, whether they have grade or pure- bred herds, should be interested in such a project, it was decided that the Department of Agriculture would hold a meeting in Greenbank Hall, sometime early In March, The speaker will be W. P, Watson of thy Livestock Branch, Toronto, Wilfrad Keffer, president of the Maple Club and Dr, Reed, technician of the Maple Club, will be asked to attend, and also W.

"To my knowl. edge, four of that number have gone over the bridge. during those 27 years," he sald, Pointing out that heavily travelled areas were under 24-hour super- vision, Mr. Robbins sald that the department let contfacts for sand- ing operations along various stretches of the highway. A night patrolman was required to travel up and down the road and report its condition to a road inspector, Wallace Purdue, Toronto taxi driver, told of a desperate effort he made to warn the transport driver of imminent daziger ahead, "I was driving back to Toronto," Mr, Purdue sald, "and it was raining pretty heavy as I got to the Petti~ I slowed down and continued on to the Rouge hill, I skidded a little as I came within about 200 feet of the bridge but I straightened out." "When I got over to the west side of the bridge, I saw lights approach- ing. I stopped the oar, got out and waved a flashlight in an effort to flag him down. He kept on going and the minute he passed me I hol- lered, 'look out for the ice, Mac." Mr, Purdue sald he saw the back of the traller swing or wave a little and then he heard one crash and then another, 'Then, I saw this tremendous fire," he told the jury, Didn't Have a Chance "The road was soaking wet within 200 feet of the bridge and then in the area of the bridge itself it be- came a sheet of ice. The depart- ment didn't have a chance," de- clared Mr, Purdue, "They would have to have a man there all the time." "I think the Department of High- ways should open up the dual high- way as soon as possible," was Mr, Purdue's considered advice, Jack Lyall, of Toronto, who was driving west on the highway just before the accident, said he saw no traffic as he was coming down the east hill at about 35 miles per hour. Mr, Lyall described the road condi~ tions as "quite good." "As I got slightly more than half~ way across the bridge, I noticed the truck coming. He seemed to be crowding the centre line, As we got closer, I got the impression that the truck and trailer weren't direct- ly in line. "At the last split-second, I realiz- ed that he was skidding. I applied my brakes and skidded too, I think it was the rear end of his traller that hit the left side of my oar, I couldn't see him at all after he hit me," Provincial Constable Gilbert Robe ertson, who was called to the scene of the accident, testified that as he came to the top of the Rouge hill on the west side he had applied his brakes and gone into a spin. He finally managed to right his vehicle and get down to the bridge. Road Not to Blame "There's nothing in the condition of the road at the western approach Saturday, Greenwood to make a vehicle go over to the | Ltd south," Constable Robertson said in answer to a question from jury fore- man, Joseph Banigan, Mr. Robbins of the highway de- partment sald he didn't think it "feasible" to build a guard rail strong enough to withstand a heavy truck going 35 or 40 miles per hour, rding the actual construction of the bridge, Mr, Robbins remarked Breas: "I see nothing wrong with Foreman of the jury was Mr, Banigan and other members were: John Boyes and Wilfred Hunt, Pickering; Ernest Crook, RR. 2 Pickering, and Hilton Wood, Dun- barton, | Chinese Dollar Makes Come-Back Shanghal, Feb, 13--(AP)--The Chinese dollar held steady at 13,000 to one American dollar today as Generalissimo Chiang Kal-Shek told the Kucmintang Central exe- | cutive committee that the govern ment wag able to cope adequately with the nation's shaky financial condition, No one was able to explain the Chinese dollar's recovery yesterday from an all-time low of 19,000 to one Uniled States dollar, nor its stability at 13,000 to one today while Chiang and his closest advisprs conferred in Nanking, "The serious crime of stealing H.
