THE LAST WORD IN AllTOMATIO WASHERS H. W. Mortscn, ‘_9 Yonge St. 8., 1115 just announced new Be'at'ti' Auto. matic Washers are now on display. These marvels of invention do just about everything but hang the clothes on the line. They reduce washday down to a matter of minutes. Put the clothes inâ€"tgke them out. The new Beatty is_ more PRACTI- CAL it is claimed, than any type of Automatic which has hitherto appeared on the market. It is the only one equipped With casters, so that it can be kept where convenient and moved easily where desired to be used. It is free from vibration, does not have to be bolted down or installed. It has the practical efficient Agitator Action which washer manufacturers have many years. The new Automatic is free from complicated partsâ€"so costs less and lasts longer. It requires only 7 to 9 gallons of hot water for'a full load of clothes and washes them in 6 to 8 minutes. After washing, the clothes are auto- matically rinsed by the same power action which does the washing. Fresh clean water pours through the tub as rinsing continues. It is many times more effective than hand rinsing. The tub is of very special construc- tion and therefore given a special name, “Flexatub”. It is contained within a steel sphere, and when rinsing is com- ‘pleted it is collapsed by hydraulic pressure and squeezed in around the clothes. The water is forced out of the tub through apertures in the top of the steel sphere. This “Topflow” as it is known, carries off all suds and sediment, to prevent it settling back in the clothes. The dirty water goes up and out instead of down and through. The washer does everythingâ€"washes, rinses, damp dries, empties itself out by means of a pump and cleans itself up. Human hands never touch the clothes from the time they are put in until they are taken out. TWO CONTINUOUS SHOWS NIGHTLY STARTING 7 RM.

Porteous oi Ow- en Sound, 0nt., a director of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association, who as their coach-manager, will write about the visit of Canada’s champion plowmen to the British Isles, Belgium, Denmark and the ON BOARD THE QUEEN MA- RY: We are now on our way ac- ross the Atlantic. We left the dock in New York about 3.30 a. m. and it is now mid afternoon. The big shilf is rolling a little but not too much and I think we will prove seaworthy. I hope so, for none of us have been to sea before. Netherlands By us I mean Hugh Leslie of Georgetown, Ont., and Herbert Jarvis of Agincourt, Ont., the 1950 Canadian champion plow- men and myself. We are head- ing for the other side to take part in plowing matches in the British Isles and o obserVe ag- ricultural conditions and visit historical places there and in Holland, Belgium and Denmark. We are the fifth in as many years to have been awarded all- expense-paid overseas trips by Imperial Oil as a result of win- ning the Esso Champions Trans- Atlantic horse and tractor class- es at the International Plowing Match. The boys won their trips in competition with county and district champions and I was ap- pointed 'team manager by the Ontario Plowmen’s Association who sponsor the big annual ev- ent. Besides looking after the boys one of my jobs is to write a. series of letters describing our experiences abroad, â€" what we see, what we do and sometimes what we hear. I hope the} will prove interesting to you. Hugh Leslie, the gold medal tractor plowman, hails from Georgetown and is an old hand at tractor plowing. He has been behind the wheel of a tractor since he was able to cllmb into the driver’s seat and he has com- peted at county and Internation- al matches since they were re- sumed after the war. Last year he was Peel County champion m the open sod tractor class. But to get this series of let- ters properly under way I’ll in- troduce the two champion plow- men and myself. By coincidence both of the boys are 28 years old but Her- bert Jarvis, the gold medal horse plowman, is really the younger. His birthday was January 3, the day we left Toronto for New York. (Nice birthday present, eh?). Herb is the éon of dohn Jarvis and is the second young- est of the “seven plowing Jarvis brothers", Willis, Donald, Ruse sell, Richard, Norman, Herbert, and Leonard â€" in that; order. The boys were given that title when all of them competed at the East York plowing match in 1947. Norman won that year but Herb [has since won the coun- ty championship two years in a row. DAVID McLEAN SELLS REAL ESTATE It might interest you to know that while Herb is an out-and- out horse plowmen he works in a plant turning out tractors. But, on week-ends Herb plows with a horse on his father’s 100-acre farm. His wife is a Timbers, a member of a family that includes many champion plowmen, and they have twin daughters Linda and Donna who will be three years old next May. Hugh and his father, George H. Leslie, work a 400â€"ac_re farm and of course it is highly mech- anized. He is a married man and the father of a four-year-old daughter Lynda Ann.

I was glad to Col. Tom Kennedy, the Ontario minister of agriculture, was able to drop in for it wouldn't have seemed right not to have him there to wish us luck. I have always been inteiested in organizations that are aimed at improving agricultural condi- tions and I’ve taken an active part in nearly all farm organi- zations in North Grey. Well, so much for all of us. had better get back to describing our trip or you’ll think we never But before we knew, it it was time to be at Toronto’s Union Station. Our departure was quite in accord with all the other ev-l ents of the day and I mdst say that the spirit of those friends who saw us off was not dampen- ed in the least by the inclement weather. Platform tickets did not seem to be necessary for I heard a good many of our friends tell the man at the gate they had reservations on the New York train. I think I heard at lea t five say they had 10Wer berih six on car 36, but of course they were not on the train when it pulled out. We had no trouble whatever with inspection at the border as the customs officers were aboard when we left Toronto. Inspection was carried out systematically and completed by the time we en- tered the United States. Alto- gether our train trip was quite uneventful except for the fact that we were about one-and-a- half hours late arriving in New York. It was 11 am. when we got in- to our rooms at the Biltmore Ho- tel. By the time we contacted Peter Kinnear of Standard Oil, New Jersey, it was almost noon and he invited us to have lunch with him and a group of his as- sociates'. Mr. Kinnear is a for- mer Ontario boy, having been raised in Cayuga. We were taken to the Lunch- eon Club in the Rainbow Room of the RCA. Building, Rocke- feller Centre. This is on the 65th floor, about 800 feet above 'ground level. After lunch we were shown New York from the top of the same building. It was quite a sight. ' Later we visited some of the offices in the same building, where one of the radio networks recorded an interview with Herb and Hugh for use the next day on a farm broadcast. We also had some photographs taken with “Dagmar”, a well known tele- vision actress. Naturally this was enjoyed by all â€" even my- self. In the evening we had dinner, v. smorgasbord, at a Swedish res- taurant. There was everything you could think of to eat, and plenty of it. Later we toured sections of Greater New York in- cluding Wall Street, Brooklyn and the wharves, We certainly enjoyed every minute of it. All too soon it was 11 pm. and time to go aboard the Queen Mary. We regretted having to bid our new friends good-bye. Once on board the Queen Mary we stayed up and watched its progress out of the harbour. At four am. we passed the Statue of Liberty. By five we were pretty well out of sight of land so we waved good-bye to North America and made for bed.

Uplands GolfCIub Described as a “new departure in home improvement,” E. W. An- stey, head of Answell Limited, with offices and showrooms in Thornhill and Concord, has. an- nounced a new plan being spon- sored by his company which ap- plies the principle of instalment buying to home improvements. The plan, says Mr. Anstey, Will not cover the building of new homes but will make possible the building of a new garage, the in- stallation of a new roof, the ad- dition of storm windows or indeed any improvement or addition to an existing home. “Many homes in the district,” says Mr. Anstey, “are badly in need of fixing up but the leymg out of a large sum of money- all at one time has prevented necess- ary work being done. Under this plan home improvement, insofar as building needs are conmmed, can be taken care of just the same as the addition of equipment within 'the home.” The fa’ct that no down payment is required, says Mr. Anstey, and that payment can be spread over twenty-four months should lead to many necessary improvements to homes being made in the district. MECHANICAL ELEPHANTS FOR CANADA Launching of the world’s first mechanical walking elephant by inventor Frank Stuart, of Thaxted, England, last summer has resulted in Canadian. orders for 14 of the one-ton brutes. Six of them are on order for the Festival of Britain while orders from other parts of the world include,$95,000 worth for the U.S.A. BRADSHAW MOTORS LIMITED ‘â€" 178 YONGE STREET N.

He has been a professional for the last seven years and before that was recognized as one of Ontario’s leading professionals. He is rec- ognized as a specialist in instruct- ing beginners and in correcting bad lgolfing habits. The Young Peoples met in the church on Monday night. The Christian Missions committee, un- der the covenorship of Ann Davies was in charge of meeting. Guest speaker was Mr. Gordon McLelIan, a student from Emmanuel College, and Jack Stephenson sang a solo. Ann moved a vote of thaks to the speaker for the fine message which he brought and Rev. Huston gave the closing benediction. Afterward, the members enjoyed a singâ€"song and refreshments. More than 500 Red Cross man Cupboards operate in Canada, pro- viding sick-room articles for hard- pressed families without charge. Canadian Red Cross Juniors sent Christmas parcels to 14,000 or- cphan children of Canadian soldiers in England in 1950.
