Seen Through Other Eyes

In the current issue of Business lVeck' there is recorder] the reply of a visiting Briton who was £l5l\'_(‘tl, "What is the principal im- pression of- thc ljnittvtl States you are carry- ing back to linglzmtl with you?" The visitor luld just rounded out a four-months trip which hid taken him to most Darts of the U." S. If the propounder of the question expected a illfidatory answer, he must have been some- what tziken aback, because the visiting English- Iflon replied as follows:

' "It remains lhe_only place on earth where everything can be completely screwy and al- most everyone can still get along quite well. You have buyers’ strike; and new sales rec-

Chemical and food manufacturing industries have hitherto encountered (lifficultics citttiilcd by the fact that steel commuters are liable to corrosion. Nickel has often been substituted for steel, but this was only possible in cases where the‘ value of the article justified the use of such expensive trlatcrial. The British indus- try has now succeeded in finding a practical and economical solution to the problem. The steel plate is “clad” with a layer of Dtlfc solid nickel, varying between 5 and 2O per ccnt ac- cording to‘ the aggregate thickness of the plate and the service for which it is required. The pure nickel is rolled on-to the steel-plate at a temperature high enough to ensure a pennan- cnt, true and sound bond. Since the co-effici- cnts of thermal expansion of stecl and nickel are practically the samc, these plfltcs can he used at maximum temperatures.

A device representing an important new tul- vance in aural aids has been demonstrated in London.

The latter cost lcss than two cents an hour 1o run. During the elcnrpuslra- tion the device was ltandcd to a deaf man who announced that he could hear perfectly with it.

INDIGNATION MEETING

Sil‘,—A11 indtgnatlon meeting was held. 1n McDonald's Hall s; St. Peter's on W165i’. A t ZJ. protest to tthe constructor: work procetdlng on St. Peter's Bay Bridge. ‘file meeting was largely attended and many of those pres- ent expressed their hearty wiuap- proval of the type of work that is being dcne on this bridge. Repre- sentatives o1 this district, Mr. ll. 11. Cox and Mr. T. L. Cullen were

resent on invitation. They did heir best to smooth matters over for the Department and for the Government but ware unable to convince the audience that the promises given for the construction of a new span brtdge had not been deliberately broken. 1t was the practically unmllmous opinion of ttbls matting that the Government should be asked to stop this rip-rs. work and to make temporary repa rs, ff necessary. un- tn 511911 time as the mnterlus should become available. Emphasis was placed on the fact lhat this bridge, constituting the main link of the highway connecting East. and West points of the Island should haw top priority. The Government was emphatic- ally denounced for letting this contract against t-be direct wishes of the residents of this village and against the usages of practical com- mon sense as bhls type of work has been washed out time and time again.

One speaker brought u the fact that when lt came to ask rig for re- cruits to defend our homes against a terrible enemy,St.1‘-‘eter‘s contrib- uted more men per capital than any other vtlluze pn Prince Edward 1s- lrmd. and had more casualties, un- fortunately. than BnY Other 0f 118 size 1n Canada. But when ll came time for the Government to 1m- plrment promises re tihls brldlze. accepted in 100d faith. then all this was forgotten. and he fact also. thoumh of smaller importance, that st. Peter's district had played a large part 1n electing the present Govcmment to office. was over-

looked.

The following resolution was drawn up: " herens: This Government as represented by the Minister of Pub- lic Works, the Deputy Minister and several members of the Cabinet de- finitely promised a delegation from this village sent in to ascertain the facts relative to the conil-rucllflfl of St. Peter's Bay Bridge that an open span bridge was in the esti- mates and was allotted and the materials ordered; and

"Whereas: After various surveys this type of construction was re- commended by several competent engineers fumlliartwith conditions obtaining 1n this locality, land the original recommendation included. open span work of over 900 feet reaching practically from shore to shore: and

“Whereas: It 1s common know- ledge that. solid stone, wood and clay construction tn this .d1strlet has becn washed out time and time again and on many occasions has rendered this bridge impossible for weeks of the busy dripping season; and "Whereas: This bridge is blocked to cars the greater portion of _eacth winter with snow accumulation leaving this millage isolated from access to both Eastern and. West.- ern Hospitals; and “Whereas: It ls considered that the present Minister of Public Works counted 1t good party tactics to build this type of construction in order that the resultant exten- slcn of patronng‘: 1n this locality would make up for broken 17mm- lses; and
