The meeting is Scheduled for 2.30 pm. and Mrs. McLelland, a rep- resentative of the North York Home and School Association will be guest speaker. Object of the gathering is the possible forma- tion of a Home and School group for Richvale. It would appear that with all the organizations and associatons that have had their origin in Rich- vale in the past year there would be very little left to consolidate. As it happens that is not so, for there is another group which has more than proved its Worth in a great many communities through- out Ontario. The group referred‘ to is the Home and School Club which has proven its value by be- ing a necessary link between the school and the home.

RICHVA‘LE Fall plowing of a new type is already in progress north of Toronto, as Bell Telephone plant and construction men commence the laying of a telephone cable designed to pro- vide storm-resistant long distance service on the Toronto-Barrieâ€"Orillia route. The plow train shown above is towed by two caterpillar tractors. The plow itself third in the train plows a furrow 30 to 50 inches deep and lays the heavy lead-sheathed cable in a single op- eration. The cable is unreeled in 1,500-foot lengths from huge drums on a platform behind the plow. A scraper, towed behind, fills in the furrow and the following tractor tramps down the earth. Toronto-Barrie section will be ready in the spring, the remaining 26 miles in the fall of 1950. Laying 0f Long Distance Cable ls Under Way Through District Cable-laying operations com- menced recently at Steele’s Cor- ner, north of Toronto, as the filst step towards the establishment of an underground “voice-highway" which will link Toronto with Bar- rie and Orillia. The lead-sheath- ed cable will initially nrovide 70 additional circuits on this impor- tant long distance route, and wiil aiso carry radh programs. A~repeater station, which will pick up and amplify voice currents passing through the cable will be built at Kettleby. A contract for its construction has been awarded to the Emery Construction Com- pany of Barrie. A voice current passing over a wire fades after a certain distance; to ensure clear transmission it is necessary to step up the current at intervals. This is done by? means of a vacuum tube repeater, similar in principle to a radio tube. Repeater equip. ment in Barrie will step up voice currents for {the Barrie-Orillia section of the cable. The Toronto-Barrie section of the new cable is expected to be in service next spring, and comple- tion of the Barrie-Orillia section is scheduled for the fall of 1950. Sixtyâ€"four miles of the 82-mile cable will be buried by means of a cable plow and the remaining 18 miles will run through under- ground conduit. Thus, the new long-distance circuits will be pro- tected from wind and ice storms. A long distance cable network, extending from Windsor to Que- bec City, was laid largely by the cable-plow method that is being employed on the new northern route. Single Operation By this methqd, a. cable plow, towed by two caterpillar tractors, ploWS a furrow from 30 to 50 in- ches deep and lays the lead- sheathed cable in a single opera- tion. The cable is unreeled in 1,50-0-foot lengths from huge drums carried on a platform be- hind the plow. A scraper at the rear fills in the furrow, and anoth- er tractor follows to. tramp the earth down firmly. The cable is filled with gas un- der pressure as a protection against moisture. If the lead sheath is punctured, the gas pressure prevents moisture enter- ing for some time, and when the pressure drops below a certain point, an alarm is sounded at the repair centre. The repair crew is then able to gauge roughly the location of the puncture, and by taking a series of pressure readings in the vicinâ€" ity they are able to calculate the position of the break to within a few feet. The original 70 circuits provided by the Torontoâ€"Barrie-Orillia cab- le may be considerably augmented in future years by the use of a “carrier system," and eventually it may carry as many as 800 con- At the junction points where one cable length ends and another commences, th cable gang digs a hole, leaving the two ends expOSed. A splicing gang follows to splice the ends together. i Final location of the puncture is made by the time-honored meth- od used by bicyclists â€"â€" the area of the break is painted with soap- suds and bubbles then reveal even the smallest puncture. In this way, the cable can us- ually be repaired before moisture has caused sufficient damage to interrupt service. THE "RIDE THRlll” versations simultaneously. Eventually the company plans to extend the cable facilities to North Bay. Phone Richmond Hill 343r6 100 - 500 Gal.
