Frank C Godfrey be- loon to one 01 the most ancient ana iraren professions in the world. He designs,. tunes and Installs. cburcn ntens. Godfrey recently visited Vaneou- rer to supervise the Installation of eight new bens, presented - to St. James Anglican church, No one on the North American continent had the experience to undertake thjitiobGAdfrey made his twenty first transatlantic trip from England to hang the chimes in the tower of St. James. The young bell expert represents John. Taylor & Company of Lough jborough, England, one of the few 'firms of bell founders in the world. The foundry has been making bells since 1360. In Family Since 1780. ; The Taylor bell foundry was established in medieval days by Johannes de Stafford, but since 1780 .has been conducted by the Taylor family, and has supplied bells, j chimes and carillons to all parts of the world. J According to Godfrey, there has :never been any real rivalry for the (English product. He says that the jwhole secret lies in tuning. To tune the notes in each bell of a cnrillnn 'is a long and costly m-ocess and In jd js the apex of the bell irs art. ""fcaffiHESBESaatfr- QaSat9 describes the bell cast- wig process as 10 nolds are made from a por- 1 of loam, specially made 1 at tne Loughborough works. The loam must be perfectly dry to pre iyent an explosion. The boiling mass of bronze is poured into the mold from a huge ladle of 20 tons capa city. Pouring of the molten metals takes only four minutes, but seven .tfays are allowed fcrcooling. vTbe toiling liquid generates nu mewas gases which are not allowed . 1 . . . 1 at i l. .1 n An - TO vuDDie 10 uie surface, uui kcji "eot through the porous loam core of the mold into a pipe, emitting w unpleasant odor. .J.Jwasswtr Godfrey sayTthat only three bells have had to be recast during his time with the firm. Before the Vancouver Job he in stalled a 47-beU carillon at Luray, Va., and last year he installed a .carillon of 53 bells at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, j The carillon comprises at least .two chromatic octaves of 29 beus-and may be extended to a range of five -octaves, or even more. The chime is a limited number of 'bells, which play single-note melo dies. The minimum range of the jcbime is eight bells of the diatonic .scale. They may be increased to a 1 carillon. The bells may be oper i ted by a hand clavier connected to the clappers by wires, from an eleo jtric console or even by player rolls like a player piano. Muscles and Menus to Be Streamlined in Britain London. The British govern .ment's national fitness campaign is going to affect not only muscles but Much of the physical unfitness of 8te English people is attributed to nsuitable "and badly cooked food. The ministry of health and the board of education ere considering 'hew the better and wide teaching of 'cookery can be linked with the phys ical culture movement. It is expected 'steps will be taken to encourage the provision of more evening cookery centers for adults 'and the better patronage of those already In existence. ' Many girls, now go from school .to work in shops,' offices, or fac tories. By the time they are mar ried they have forgotten most that they learned about cooking and (dietetics at school. It is this gap between school life and marriage Out the ministry of health and the board of trade will attempt to bridge. , Clock of 1656, Buried in ; Wars, Still Is Ticking On Duhith, ) Minn.
