KING COAL We wanted to discuss a burning matter with the geologist of the Joyal Ontario Museum the other day and as we passed down the ord- erly gallery to his office, the nice, 3\g shiny, black specimens of coal the clean cases appeared very attractive. We got our information all right, and here it is: With the destruction of the for- ests, Canadians have become more dependent on coal, now the main fuel for both domestic and indus- rial heating. Wood, because of its water content, has about one-half the heat value of high-grade coal. A cord of maple weighs about two tons and has less than half the heat value of one ton of coal. Bulk, and freight charges, make wood an ex- pensive fuel except near its source. Petroleum possesses from one and one-half to two times the heat val- ue of the same weight of coal and some of the distillates sold as fuel oil have even higher heat value. Natural gas has much higher heat value than coal gas and where avail- able is one of the cleanest and best fuels known. Electricity has proved too expensive for general heating. Peat has long been used in Ireland and some other countries and, dried and compressed, it makes a bright fire with plenty of air such as in open grates, but otherwise, it is very smoky. It burns away too rapidly for use in a cold climate. There is plenty of peat in Canada but when taken from the \3g it contains 80 to 90 per cent water and it must be dried by the sun or artificially, slow and expensive operations. With this essay in our pocket we left the office of the accommodating expert. As we returned down the gal- lery, the coal in the cases appeared even more attractive than when we went in.

WANTS OLD SCHOOL READER In renewing for his paper for an- other year, Dr. J. E. Strain, ..if North Bonneville, Wash., expresses the fol- lowing desire: I wish I could locate an old school book Third Reader. It was in use when your father attended school. I have quite a hobby in collecting old school books. I have a second read- er, which has printed on the cover "Gage & Go's. Educational Series." The Educational Board made a change in the school readers. I would be willing to pay five odllars if I could locate an old Third Reader, so if you hear of any person who has one of that period please let me know. WARDEN-ELECTING STYLE ADOPTED BY WELLINGTON A new method of electing the Warden of Wellington County Coun- cil was adopted by the Council at its recent session in a general revision of standing rules and regu- lations governing the council. Prin- cipal changes are that nominations of all council members being p-o- posod for the wardenship must be any balloting tak.'- : h;\t :;'.! ".ominations must be n: : ' ::hin 15 minutes after the i-nu'd: u-.'.J. that names will be voted in the order in which they ar proposed. The first man to receive a clear majority of all mem- bers of the council will be declared elected as warden. Declaring that the former method was "nonsensi- cal."' Warden Angus Smith said that some countries chose a warden in five minutes, while Wellington coun- cillors sometimes took all afternoon. He deplored the "Jockeying around" which has taken place under the old rules. Clearing Our entire stock to be cleared out this month. Good bargains offered. F. G. Karstedt I!

FleshertoQ Cm jer & Produce Limited Phone 66 Angus Avis, Manager TRIPLET CALVES On the farm of Mr. Herbert Orr of West Luther is an aged Durham cow, 18 years of age to be exact, that in the closing week of 1943 established something of a record for her town- ship hwen she gave birth to three fine calves, two females and a male. Unfortunately only two of the trip- lets are still living. Dr. Wm. Carroll, whose professional services were re- quired, is of the opinion that while triplet calves are occasionally re- ported, such a birth by an 18-year-old bovine is very remarkable.
