somethim was said' at the pres- ent gnnull meeting of the En- gineering Institute of Canada in Toronto that struck such a chord of memory in this writer's mingx that he has to tell about it.

The words were by A. J. Taun- mn, deputy city engineer of Win- nlpcg. and what he said was this:

"1-Iaphaaardneas in concrete con- struction still exists in North America."

Thgt was a great relicf to me because I had thought I was the only haphazardnees that had ever happened to concrete.

All these years while I have watched terisely news of great events coming in from over the world, my fellow-workers. presum- iubly, have thought I was trying in be 9, good newspaper man. Not at all-I was just worrying that there might come a bulletin saying that the Halifax Ocean terminals had slipped into the see. For I had up a tiny part in their building and have never known whether. one day, I did right or wrong.

it was this way: I was a con- rxetc inspector who knew nothing about concrete. All I had was a .-up of paper which, as I recall, said this particular mix should rontain so much cement. so much gravel. so much rock.

I could count, and according to my count and my slip of paper, not enough cement was going in. So I said to the foreman (in ef- fect): "How about it-?'', '

And be, serving another interest than mine, said (in effect): "if -sou don't put enough rock into it. it won't hold."

But I was the man with the piece of paper and so he stepped up the cement content.

I often think of those big ter- minals and am thankful that they still are there. but occasionally homes a disturbing thought: "What if the foreman was right?"

About that time I was also a dredge inspector and. I think. a diving impector, but I had no slips of paper to guide me on these and I neither- helped nor disrupted.

It was my first lesson that no- body knows much about anything. It was all so complicated that I went into newspaper work and learned how complicated things van really be.

But to come back to Mr. Taun- ton. who knows concrete about as well as anyone. he added this:

"Great strides have been made in the development of the theory of the design of concrete mixes, but the record in respect to pract- N26 is not so good. Although more is known about concrete now than

. generation or more ago, there still is much to learn. He was speaking particularly

about Winnipeg's bridges which, with three exceptions. were built

--at-least-30-or 40 years - ago. He.

said:

"The art of mixing and placlnl concrete was decidedly haphazard then. The water-cement theory had not been developed, and there were still those who maintained that concrete was not seriously damaged by freezing-it would set all right when it thawed."

Apparently there has been more trouble because of this."

MONTREAL. July lB-(CP)-

"Members of a touring British ag-

ricultural mission arriving here to- day praised farmerr of the Mari- time Provinces, particularly for their work on potatoes.

Headed by Sir William 080. Dir- ector of the Rothamsted Research Institute. the mission of seven ag- ricultural experts will spend two months touring the Dominion. Last year a similar group from Canada spent some time in the United Kingdom on a fact-finding mission.

At a press conference, Sir Wil- liam compared Britain to the three seaboard Provinces. .

"Both areas," he said. "are de- pendent for much of their food supplies op distant spots."

Speaking of the Maritime tour. sir William said he was impress- ed with work under way there to produce potatccs resistant to blight and scab. He mentioned particul- ariy work now being done at Fred- ericton.

Another thing that impressed, him. he said, was the method de- veloped there for storing potatoes.

He praised the "family farm" in that area, and said that nihili- gent use was made cf labor-saving devices and there was a high stand- ard of living.

In Britain. he said, great efforts are being made to bring scient- ific knowledge to the farmer. "With a population of 50,000,000 people in an area 1-4 the size of Quebec, we cannot afford to have farmers who are not pulling their weight."

The mission inspected port fac- ilities today and tomorrow will visit Macdonald Agricultural Col- lege and nearby Ste. Anne dc B:-llcvue. Sunday the mission will visit Ottawa.

Estimate Fire Damage More Than 310.000

Fire for the second time in ai- niost eleven years destroyed two barns belonging to Mr. Allan Jen- kins, Mount Albion, when both buildings were burned to the ground in an early morning out- break yesterday. '

Eleven years ago in August Mr. Jenkins lost two barns by the same method. Damage of yester- day's firc was estimated at more than sl0,000. Little insurance was carried on the buildings.

The main barn lost was an L shaped structure 66 x 32 feet in one direction and 50 x 36 in the other. The other building burned was the tool house. No tools were lost.

Origin of the fire is still a mys- tery to the owner. The outbreak at the end of the barn was first noticed shortly after two o'clock by young Mack Hicks who was awakened by the light cast by the blaze. -

City firemen responded to -the call with a pumper and a crew headed by Deputy Fire Chief James walker. They saved the machine house which had caught fire and prevented further spread of the blaze. W tr.-r was supplied by neighbours wth trucks who hauled to a waiting budrct brigade who in turn filled the booster tank.

In addition to small quantity of harness was last. A" number of cattle and horses might also have been de- stroyed had it not been for the alertness of three young boys and Mr. Jenkins. .

The boys. Mack I-ilcks. Sydney Myers and Douglas Drake were the first on the scene and they awakened Mr. Jenkins. The fire was well underway and the ani- mals in the fields were attracted to the blaze. The group immedi- Itely chased away the animals be- fore summoning aid.

Other nearby buildings were the hen house and the dwelling build- ing. Ncither of these were threatened by the blaze.
