Mr. Eddy op- ened the meeting with prayer.. Gerry Hill, the president. was in the chair. Al MacMillan intro- duced the speaker for the even- ing. who was E. C. Forster of the Bell Telephone Co. In his ad- dress entitled ‘Talking Box to Transistors" he stated: "Research is constantly being carried on to provide Canadians. who are the world's top telephone users, with the communications their vast and growing country neds, also statistics show that Canadians speak on the telephone more han any other people, but that Canadians leadership in tele- pbone matters should not be re- garded as a novelty. Mens Club Speaker Tells Of Progress In Telephone “Alexander Graham Bell did much of his early research work at his family home near Brant ford. The first successful long distance test of the telephone was held between Brantford and the neighboring community of Paris. The first telephone exchange lo the British Empire was opened in Hamitlon.” Whereas the Bell Telephone Comp any served only 2000 tele- phons in 1880. the year it was founded it now has a network of 2,.600 000 in its Ontario-Que- bec territory. Mr. Forster said this growth has been made possible by con- tinual technical progress which he illustrated by comparing a priimtive type of telephone, a wooden box with an attachment which served boh as mouthpiece and as earphone. with a new type introduced only a few years ago. Terming the two instruments symbols of the development of the telephone industry, Mr. Fors- ter illustrated the difference in their 'qualities of voice reproduc- tion. Mr. Forster also demonstrated the \transistor, "a revolutionary new‘ device which will do most of the work of a regular vacuum tube â€"â€" and a lot of other things as well â€"â€" using only a fraction of the spacer and power.” By inserting a tiny capsule containing a transistor-amplifier into the circuit of a record play- ‘er, he turned soft music into a thunderous roar. To demonstrate that an extremely small amount of power is needed to operate a transistor he showed how it worked as an oscillator using a “battery" consisting of a piece of damp paper and a 25¢ent coin. Mr. Forster also described the Bell Solar Battery. He said It was the first device to convert AV. 5-4391 BIRRELL MOTORS LTD. .TAKE THE SEAT OF HONOR Open the door of an Oldsmobile.

The solar bat- tery has been tested successfully in a rural telephone system. Whereas the most important problems faced in the early days of the telephone industry related to transmission, the chief prob- lems today are caused by the great volume of calls, the speak- er said. To cope with this expansion, mechanization -â€" first of switch- boards, later of dial equipment -â€" has been gradually introduced. “The telephone companies of North America are developing a plan for direct distance calling on a continent-wide scale, and your operators here will soon be dial- ing calls to the majority of the 500,000 telephnes in Canada and the United States,” said Mr. Forster. “Equipment which will switch and forward calls auto- matically is being set up in the major traffic centres.” Long dis- tance centres of this kind are now in service in both Toronto and Montreal making it possible for four out of five long distance calls ma de in Bell territory to be dialed direct by the operator The number of calls, both loc- al and long distance. and the number of telephones served have both more than doubled in the last eight years. The speaker was thanked by Mr. Bryan Sharpless. Ministerial Assoc. Presentation To Rev. A. A.

Bellwood (amp Forms Happy Centre Fov - Retarded Children The January meeting of the Thornhill and District Associa- tion for Retarded Children was held‘ at the Thornhaven School. with the Rev. Walter McCleary as speaker. Rev. McCleary is as- sociated with the Bellwood Camp for retarded children which is situated on 22 acres of land he- longing to the Kinsmen Club at Grand Valley, Ont. The reason for starting the camp, which has been organized for the past three years was that there are camps for diabetic children, {spastic and crippled children. but none for the re- tarded child who. as Rev. Mc- Cleary pointed out is just as much a child as the others. The motto of the camp is "Every child has a right to his child- hood" taken from Charles Dick- ens' “Barnaby Rudge". which is in part a story of a retarded boy. who also coined the expression. ‘Now we are going to .see what makes the stars shine.’ Rev. Mc- Cleary said they certainly found out what makes these stars shine as many of the children arrived at the camp as introverts. shy, retiring and lonely but after a few day they came out of their shells and really started shining, were full of fun, with rosy cheeks, en- joying one another's company and most of them left as extra- verts. Need Accommodation The demand for accommoda- tion was beyond the capacity of the camp and last year 25 appli- cations were turned down. This year's quota has already been filled. He went on to say it seem- ed too bad that they have so much land and so many children waiting; many} of them from the downtown sections of the city, but because of lack of facilities they cannot be accommodated, this year at any rate. They are expanding by leaps and bounds, but this project is just in its in- fancy and will take time to com- plete. The financing of the camp is a big problem and the parents are asked where possible for a modest sum to cover the child’s board. The greater part of the financing is sustained by dona- tions, the Kinsman Clubs playing a great part in this respect. Active Programme The main building Is a stone structure with a large dining room. which is also used for crafts on rainy days. In addition, films and dancing classes are held there. Swimming instruc- tions are also given by compe- tent teachers on fine days. All types of retarded children are accepted from the age of six up- wards. There are two nurses and a doctor present at the camp at all times as well as a counselor for every three children. Rev. Mr. McCleary stressed that, as with all work with rec Hydra-Math: eagerly at your service. The lightest of toe-touches rouses the hushed might of the most powerful Rocket engine’ in Olds History.

One of the biggest problems at the camp is not the children. but the parents. Rev. Mr. McCleary stated. Some of the children are a little homesick when they see the parents leave. but they set- tle down after a day or two. Be- cause of this they find it better that the parents stay away until it's time to take the children home, although visiting is allow- ed on Sundays. Many parents take advantage of the opportunity to have a rest away from the child for a week or two. as a' great strain is placed upon the parents in raising I re- tarded child. Every success is wished Rev. Mr. McCleary in this great un- dertaking and it is inspiring to see a man with such a full sche- dule find time for "the least of these His little ones". May we all find time and a place in our hearts to help these children whenever the opportunity arises. BUY Thornhill Phnluy ' C. E. Stoneburg Chemist & Drunk! AV. 5-2503 You. 81. Thanh!!!
