Diviner at work in b1anitou departure from tradition but the mayor has Faith the centuries old practice of divining is undergoing a Stern test this week As the town of Manitou we had to Drill says mayor m. E. Ridley. No one else could Tell us where. This Way looks for water for a works we have something to go so project. This week drilling began on a site engineers first got the Job of picked out by the brass Rod a picking a site but a 190-foot of the mole skis. Today drilled on their Choice still were already 30 feet under produce enough water to Supply i ground the 700 people in the town 100 to in Miles Southwest of Winnipeg. I1 it up Luvoney Selkirk water diviner Joe Molen ski and his son entered the picture late last week. They got the Job on the strength of past successes and a Money Back guarantee it mayor Ridley and town Secre tary treasurer Gordon Davison who put up for the mole skis fee Are a Little worried about be coming the laughing Stock of but even if their Gamble fails they May not have been taking As big a Chance As they be Lieve. For although modern engineers scoff not Only individuals but major firms in Canada today would t think of digging a Well without consulting an expert in the 500-year-old divining Art. Actually Manitou did t consult a traditional diviner. Instead of the Standard forked Twig or. Molenski uses a machine he brought with him from Czecho Slovakia. There Are four brass rods two with knobs on the the others hollowed to form sockets. Face each other facing one another or. Molen ski and his son fit the knobs into the sockets. Then they hold the rods Between them As they walk sideways across the ground. When the rods Cross they say there s water underground. Traditionally the diviner uses a forked Branch of Willow Hazel or some Freestone fruit tree. He grasps the two prongs of the Fork with the Point facing his body. Then when he crosses Over under ground the Point is posed to twist right around and face the ground. A surprising number of people have the touch of the diviner and Many a Scoffer has been con Vinced when he Felt the Branch twist in his hands. And while science still doubts who can argue with Success _ i trustee Parker whose Campaign against City kindergartens caused a furore during the Winter was speaking to a motion by trustee Catherine Stewart Liat the s2 aution fee now charged for text books As a Deposit from senior High schools be extended to grades 7, 8 and 9. The motion passed after Long discussion was a step in the High direction said trustee it did t go nearly far enough. Some other Motif the increasing ten Dency of the Board to take Over More responsibilities that do not belong to the Board and Are properly the function o shooting the Breeze on hot air conditioner that Flag he said. Everyone looked look at the condition of the they looked look at the cramped Quad they shifted uncomfortably in their chairs this he said darkly the Black Hole of Cal Cutta. I do not think the people of Winnipeg Are going to object if we buy an air Condi but there was still the noise. The question will be investigated further before the Board decides. In s Winnipeg school trustees recently Cut their Board room a half to make room for storage space. And tuesday night in another burst of self Abne Gai Tion they had difficulty deciding whether they should treat themselves to an air conditioner. Some of the trustees led by trustees h. B. Parker and Catherine Stewart thought the Board could t afford the the lowest tender received for a water cooled air conditioner for the halved Board room. But others uncomfortable in the hot and Stuffy room said this was no Way to carry on a Public business. By 10.30 at night in january or february the air in t h e Board room was unbearable said trustee r. J. Johns. An insult to the Public to invite them to such a said trustee Joseph Zuken and trustee Kenneth Mccaskill who does t often agree with trustee Zuken said it was not a proper Way to do m Public business in such an at by Loblaw s in Sites for in greater w Nipes it was stated tuesday. Arthur e. Johnston appearing for the company at fort Garry Council meeting said that when completed the properties would be incorporated in Loblaw s Grometer is company Manitoba limited. His request to Council was that the meanwhile trustee Andrew Robertson was looking around regretting his support of the motion to halve the Board Lola wants More time Chain says it s spent in Sites for stores some has been spent Moshere. Then trustee a. Ross Little threw a spanner in the works. What about the he asked. No one wanted a noisy air conditioner but could they get a quiet one room. Look at the Marks where company be granted a further Extension of time in which to Start a new store on the West Side of Pembina Highway. Originally the building was to have been begun in october last year but because of delays in acquisition of property just North of Mcgillivray Boulevard t h e Council extended the period until july l this year. It was not until just recently or. Johnston said that negotiations had been concluded with the province for Purchase of its por Tion of the land and he now sought a further Extension to july 1, 1957. the company would be Wil Ling to pay the Council in lieu of taxes for that period. Or. Johnston said total Cost of the property was the provincial government was being paid for its share. A councillor they got the land for Council approved the Extension.

Some other he suggested a rental scheme for textbooks and warned also we have to continually watch the socialistic tendencies of the school taking Over responsibilities of the Home and the Church. I blame the superintendent s department As trustee Stewart said if the life time of the books could be length ened six months the Board would save their average life now was three years and the average Cost to the Board of Junior High textbooks was schools superintendent or. W. C. Lorimer reported that 17 out of 18 Junior High principals favored Extension of the fee. I am very much impressed by said trustee k. E. Mccaskill. He said it would be a Good Way of improving the responsibility of children toward Public pro Perty. More slovenly to trustee Joseph Zuken this was just the thin Edge of the wedge which would be used in an attempt to do away with free text books altogether. For people to blurt out that free textbooks constituted socialism was blatant he said. There was no evidence at All that textbooks were dealt with any More slovenly than they used to be when they were not free. He also protested Are becoming More and More bookkeepers and not trustee George Frith said some of the textbooks approved by the department were not Worth the Money they Cost. He said teachers were already secretaries but that seemed to be necessary although Rie objected to it. Trustee Zuken s amendment that he motion be referred to building and policy committee was lost on a 10 to 3 vote and the main motion was carried.
