Further testing of the new air horn fire alarm at Surnmeraide was conducted about midnight on Thursday. continued at intervals yesterday to ascertain the results of adjustments made during the day. and another night alarm test was made at I a.m. this morning to determine how many firemen would be awakened.

Some improvement was reported yesterday in sound distribution and the duration of the blasts was lengthened from the previous day. but many citizens felt that the new system was not as effective as the fire siren when it was located on the steel tower in Memorial Square previous to last winter's ice storm.

The new air horn is mounted on a roof of the Civic Building, a few feet below the town clock. and al- though pointing In a north easterly direction is said to be non-direct- lpnal in regard to sound distribu-

on.

It is thought that the tower con- taining the clock may act as a sound baffle preventing the born from being heard well in some parts of the town. and some re- ports received yesterday indicated

Farewell Gathering For George Anderson

A large number of the residents of Breadalbane gathered recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cuyier Matheson to bid farewell to Mr. George Anderson, prior to his departure for Chalotttetown. When all had gathered Mr. Hedley Woodside acting as chairman. ex- plained the purpose of the gather- lng and called upon Rev. H.S. Raynor who read an address to the honoured guest. and Mr. Allan Hickox pl ented him with a well- filled purse. At the conclusion of the address. Mr. Anderson spoke very touchingly of the days he spent in Breadalbane and of the many friends and acquaintances he had made during his stay in their midst and expressed the hope that he would visit with them from tim to time.

All Joined in singing "Blest Be The Tie That Binds"- A sing-song followed, with Mrs. Alexander MacDonald at the organ.. A spe- cial number, "The Old Rugged Cross". was rendered by Rev. Mr. Raynor. A dainty lunch was ser- ved by the hostess assisted by other Indies.

The following is the address: Dear Friend.

Some weeks ago a report was

circulated throughout our com-

you were likely to change your place of abode.

We had hoped that when we first heard this that it was not true. But now we know that it is true - all too true. You are in- dted making a change and that change we understand is to begin no later than on the morrow.

Some twelve years ago you came into our midst as perfect strangers. Because of your general good nature and your heartiness of manner it was not long until we felt that we had known you for years.

In all that pertained to the good of our communiy and of the church you always took a deep in- terest. Hence forth both of you will be much missed In all the different spheres of life.

In realizing that you are indeed going away. our one consolation is that what will be our loss is the gain of others. Though away from us you will be much in our minds and we want you to know that in this community. you are leaving a vacancy that can.only be filled by your ,aelves. Along with these words. we offer you this remunbrance which we ask you to accept. trusting that it may keep these associations fresh in your memories and that you win value it because of the expression of admiration and of good will conveyed by the giving of this from us to you. May God grant you health and happiness in the years that lie ahead. As you go to your new home may God's richest blessings ever follow you-

Signed on behalf of your Bread- albane friends.

HALIFAX (CP - Scientists at the Atlantic fisheries experimen- tal station here hope they have found the method they've been searching for to dry salt fish.

It's a new vacuum freeze-drying process for meats developed by two A ' research board scien- lists and a team of food technolo-

gists.

Keen interest in the development has been expressed by experimen- tal station enginee Dr. Henry Fougere. who intends to look fur- ther inta the new system for pos- sible application here.

The technique developed by Dr. Carl Brynko and Dr. W. R. Smithies at Downsview. Ont., is expected to be of particular value to the armed services, permitting storage without refrigeration.

ICE EVAPORATES

Using the conventional method of freeze-drying. frozen slices are placed in shelves in a vacuum chamber and warmed to 40 or 60 degrees centigrade.

Air is evacuated from the cham- ber to a low pressure and the ice contained in the frozen tissues slowly evaporates without thawing until the meat is dry.

Under the new system. frozen meat slices are placed in a vac- uum chamber between plates fit- ted with aluminum or stainless steel spikes about oneclghth inch in diameter. and one - half inch apart.

The plates are heated and the heat is can d u cted uniformly through the spikes penetrating the meat tissues. By the old method it takes about l5 hours to dehydrate a half-inch steak. Using the new idea, it can be done in three or four hours. Three-pound masts have been done in six to eight hours.

The research board system also dehydrates to less than two per cent moisture level. much lower than accomplished by the old method.

Excise Appeal ls Dismissed

An appeal from a second con- viction under the Excise Act, for , ' of illicit spirits, was dismissed in Supreme Court. Sum- mereide Friday by Chief Justice Thane A- Campbell, who presided.

The appellant John Albert Myers of Ebbsfleet was sentenced last July by Magistrate R. S. Hinton, Q.C. in County Magistrate's Court. Summerside to six months in Jail plus a fine of 3500 or an additional six months, after he was con- victed for the second time under the Excise Act. This is the min- imum sentence under the Excise Act for a second offender.

The notice of appeal. filed sev- eral months ago was objected to by Crown Prosecutor D. 0. Stew- art. Q.C., at that time. due to regulations under the new Crim- inai Code which require that the grounds of appeal be included with the notice of appeal. As this was

Vacuum Freeze-Drying May Preserve Fish As Well As Meat

Rehydration takes less than 1!) minutes for a roast and five min-

utes for a steak and is achieved-

simply by immersing and dried meat in water.

The vacuum freeze-drying pro- cess promises to make possible large scale commercial produc- tion of fine dehydrated meats for civilians as well as the armed services.

Dr. Fourere said experimental station scientists have been look- lng for a satisfactory method of rapidly drying salt fish for some time. and researchers at the Grand River station on the Gaspe coast are working on a promising method of their own.

Severed At Waist, Lives Five Hours

HANNIBAL Mo. :AP,)-A man whose body was severed Just be- low the waist Thursday amazed physicians by living for more than five hours. fully conscious and able to talk rationally until an anesthetic was administered for surgery.

”I never heard of such a thing." said Dr. J. W. Well. the attending physician at St. Elizabeth's Hos- pital. "Neither had any of the other doctors who came in to look at him."

John Bobbitt. 46. was severed across the abdomen by a switch engine at 10:35 a.m.

He appeared to be in little pain and talked rationally with several persons, including his wife, his minister and physicians for three hours until the anesthetic was ad- ministered at 1:30 p.m. He finally died of shock at 3:45 p.m. with- out regaining sciousness.

Coroner Henry H. Sweets said Bobbitt told several persons he threw himself in front of the en- gine and intended to take his own life. Relatives said he had suf- fered from a nervous condition re- centiy.

One reason Bobbitt survived so long was that the crushing Injury sealed off blood vessels and there was almost no bleeding, Dr. Well said. He realized his condition from the first and was told that he would die.

"When we were working on hlm." Dr. well said. "I told the physician working with me. 'I'II get home and I won't believe this
