(The Kincardine News)
There is still no guarantee that
the $60,000,000 nuclear power plant,
soon under construction near 'Kul
cardine, will work and be able to
produce power by 196465 deadline,
Dr. John Convey, director of mines
branch of the, federal department
of mines and technical surveys,
said. •
Practically everything hinges on
the experimental plant under con-
struction at Rolphton, Ontario, he
said.
But the government has to
gamble or lose two precious years
in a red hot competition among
all the nuclear energy countries
of the world for the most practi-
cal nuclear power system, he said.
The wimier will take a fantastic
world market.
Earlier Dr. Convey addressed
the Canadian Club ''bf London on
new developments in modern met-
als.
Canada, he said, is banking on
the heavy water medium •for car-
rying heat from the uranium_pile
to the steam generators. It is the
cheapest for- a country with Can-
ada's population.
The U.S. effort is "uncanny", he
said. The Americans are trying
everything and all at once, liquid
metals, heavy water, pressurized
water, and gasses. It employs en-
riched uranium, thereby greatly
reducing' size' of the heat genet,-
ating uranium pile. Canada' is not
prepared to spend $200,000,000 on
a plant to make enriched uran-
ium.
England is trying gasses. But
if anything goes wrong it is very
difficult to correct.
Soviet Russia is relaxing its ef-
fort, keeping its hand in; butstand-
ing back and waiting to see what
method will succeed.
Per capita, Canada's nuclear
power effort compares favorably
with any other country in the
world, Dr. Convey said.. But if the
American system proves best, this
country should swing to the U.S.
system.
The huge cost of nuclear power
plants 'arises chiefly out of control.
Systems vastly more intricate and
bigger are• needed to protect the
pile and the persons around it
than is the case in conventional
generating, plants.
Metallurgists' still have not solv-
ed .the problems of sheathing the
uranium pile in metals so thin it
will not interfere with the. pile's
operation and of an atomic struc-
ture that will not stiffer from heat
from radioactive waves or corro-
sion.
In his address td the Canadian
Club, Dr. Convey noted the tre-
mendous expansion in the use of
metal during this century. In the
last 50 years mankind has produc-
ed more metal than in his whole
history up to the turn of the cen-
tury.
But he still cannot define metal
as a substance and he still does
not know all its characteristics,
even as he -is learning to produce
entirely new metals in the labora-
tory.
There is, for instance, the prob-
lem • of certain characteristies of
some steels at low temperatures.
Bridges have been known to turn
brittle and literally explode when
the temperature drops to 10 below
So that construction of our .modern new branch in
Seaforth may get under way, we must move to
temporary accommodation:
Commencing Monday morning, March 28th, our
branch“wi11 be located in temporary accommodation
in the former Regeht Theatre building, where com-
plete banking facilities have been arranged for the
convenience of our customers.
We regret any inconvenience our move may cause our
customers and friends. We ask your co-operation
while construction of our new building is under way.

zero.. and holds there for days, In
reactors, uranium rods may grow
or shorten, embrittle or dimple.
Bombarded by radioactive waves,
aluminum may turn to silk and
gold to mercury.
Titanium, hailed as the great
wonder metal is 40 per cent light-
er than steel, resists corrosion,
melts at extremely high tempera-
tures and is one of the most com-
mon metals on the earth's crust.
But attempts to refine it conven-
tionally have failed. As it turns
rosy red in the furnace it sudden-
ly sucks up gases and cools brit-
tle, full of holes and so hard it
cannot be worked. 'It must there-
fore be refined in a vacuum. In
one experiment it ate through the
side of a furnace—half an inch of
steel.
It is theortically possible to re-
fine metal to such an intense de-
gree it will, have 1,000 times its
natural strength. This has been
done in laboratories and there is
anticipation that the huge steel
beams in today's bridges will.. one
day be replaced with beams the
thickness of knitting needles.
Canada's advance in mining and
metalurgy have, however, been
impressive, especially since the
war, Dr. Convey said. Only one-
third of the country has been
geologically mapped But 18 years
ago it was said that if no new
advances were made in mapping
techniques the complete job would
take 800 years. New instruments
dangled from aircraft have help-
ed reduce this estimate to 25
years.
In mining, tiie -old hand -pushed
railway cart is going out and huge
diesel trucks now operate under-
ground. New ore transport will be
by pipeline and. endless belt.
Studies are being made on the
cave -in -problem,
Some of Canada's richest min-
eral wealth is being found above
ground, in the recovery from
mountains of tailings or scrap.
In some instances, these garbage
heaps are proving richer than the
original mine. The first uranium
supply was the refuse from the
radium mine at Port Radium,
dredged back out of Great Bear
Lake.
New refining processes in which
the metal is precipitated from li-
quids foretell the end of the old
crushing plants and their great
smokestacks and pave the way for
automation. Precipitate refining
makes it economical to refine ore
with an iron content of as low as
20 per cent where 50 per cent has
been the minimum.
In 1900 Canada's metal produc-
tion was worth only $70,000,000. By
1950 it had reached a billion dol-
lars and by 1956 two billion, there
is still much room for expansion.
In 1939 this country produced no
iron. Today it produces 20,000,000
tons and is the number, , four pro-
ducer in the -world. By 1980 iron
production in this country will rise
to 100,000,000 tons.
Mr. Convey's research depart-
ment has a staff. of 650, about 62
per cent of whom are university-
trained scientists. The geology di-
yision has another 300.
For a Healthy Garden
There are some wonderfully ef-
fective spraysand dusts available
today. With these it is no trick at
all to eliminate or .control alzhost
any bug, or .fungus that attacks
any garden plant.`.: ut these chem-
icals, like medicine or fertilizer,
must be used carefullyaand accord-
ing to directions. It is possible,,of
course, to cover vegetables -or -fruit
with so much dope that one has to.
wash very carefully before eating.
Moderation,pays in all things, in -
eluding spraying and dusting. •
The very best protection against
any pest or disease is a fast grow-
ing, clean and healthy garden. To
get this we spray or dust the min-
ute a pest appears and thus bring
it under control before the whole
garden is overrun and with rela-
tively small application of chemi-
cal. But in addition we keep the
garden growing well by cultivating -
frequently, feeding with plant food
when necessary and, just as` im-
portant, we,keep both garden and
surrounding ground clean of weeds.
Clumps of weeds and long un-
tended grass ,constitute an open in-
vitation to bugs and other pests to
come along.' and camp out just
waiting for our favorite flowers
and vegetables to appear.

Death in the Discard
When the medicine cabinet is
being cleaned out, old medicines'
and pills are often discovered. Any
of these that are not still in use
shquld be discarded. Tie contents
of bottles, whether liquids or pills,
should be flushed away, and the
empty bottles or packages placed
safely in a refuse container so that
children cannot salvage pills and
and mistake them for candy or
drink the medicines. Many chil-
dren are made ill . by swallowing
drugs intended for 'adults. In some
cases, death results.`" A doctor
should always be called in, case of
these accidents.

Five Basic Food Groups
The five basic food groups are
not intended for any one age
bracket. While older people may
require somewhat smaller meals
than their juniors, they still need
the same foods, with more em-
phasis on protein and calcium:
Many foods such as•fish, eggs and
cheese are easily chewed and di-
gested and can be used .-s a..- sub-
stitute for meat.
* * *
Cold Series
A series of colds, with short in-
tervals between, requires medical
attention. Not only are the fre-
quent colds hard on the patient,
but they also cause absenteeism
from work or school. A doctor
can diagnose the type of cold and
help to build up the patient's re-,
sistance. Often, the patient's own
neglect of proper diet, adequate
rest and proper ventilation in his
home or offiee may be partly to
blame for the colds.

The Long Ears Oft L• ittle Pitchers
. The old saying means that chil-
dren hear a lot of things not in:

therefore, a good idea not to dis-
cuss family problems involving
severe illness, death or serious
money troubles in the presence of
youngsters. Children may develop
fear of conditions which they do
not understand, if they sense the'
fact that their arents are wort'
ried. When fain . , troubles . are to
be talked over, t e best time for

gardening should be taken gradual-
ly. The experienced gardener, for
instance, would never think of sow-
ing all his flower and vegetable
seeds at once. Even if it survived
•
the hazards of weather, the result
would be a blaze of flowers and a
super -abundance of fresh vege-
tables, then a famine. Everything
would come on at once and end
at the same time. The smart gar-
dener spreads out the plantings
making at least two and some-
times three or four from 10 days
to twe weeks apart. In this way
he is ensuring success because if
the first planting gets frozen or
washed out or tramped on, he will
still have one in reserve. More
important, he will have something
coming on all the time, fresh corn
and peas not just for a few days
but for many weeks, and bouquets
of beautiful.flowers too. With plant-
ings well spread out the garden
should be blooming and producing
abundantly from late in June until
snow and with a few special tips
and short cuts which you will be
hearin 'about in future articles, we
can add several' weeks to the or -
mal season as well.
Working Space
Where there is- a fair bit of room
it is an excellent plan to have a
secluded area screened off at the
back of the garden for a compost
heap and a place for bonfires. For
the latter, it might be safer to
have a rough fireplace' of stone or
bricks or ,an incinerator. Neither
the fireplace nor the compost heap
will add much beauty, so we should
screen off with vines, lattice work
or shrubbery and to be accessible
in damp weather there should be
a path of gravel, cinders, brick,
flagstones or other suitable ma-
terial.
For ,the compost heap, all that
we need will be a few rough boards.
stained, or better still, concrete
building blocks or bricks sufficient
to make a box -like affair four feet
by four and two feet deep or. larg-
' er, but with no floor, just the earth.
If we are going to compost.vege-
table refuse it is also advisable to
provide the box with a screened
and hinged top to keep out flies,
dogs, and son on.
In.to the compost box goes any-
thing that will rot — grassclip-
pings, leaves, weeds, clean gar-
bage like coffee grounds, orange
rinds, banana skins; eggshells, etc.
Timely Tips
Along with a detailed plan of the
garden we are going to have this
year, it is an excellent idea to
have a garden calendar. This need
only be a few slips of paper at-
tached to any calendar at certain
future dates or one can use a desk
calendar. In this we note jobs .to
be done, seeds or shrubs to be
bought and planted, new systems
to be adopted at some time ahead.
it is simply_a, reminder so that we
get more pleasure, interest and
value out of our gardening opera-
tions.
Flower Boxes Add Color
There are few things that will
brighten up a wall or a fence, a
patio or a verandah so much as a
window box filled with flowers.
And they are not at all difficult to
have. The main thing to remem-
ber is that these are concentrated
gardens, and thus we need spec-
ially, rich soil and most important
of all, frequent, often daily water-
ing. In the seed catalogue usually
flowers that are especially suitable
for window boxes are so marked.
There are all sorts of suitable ma-
terials such' as pansies, petunias,
nasturtiums, geraniums, lobelias,
alyssum, ageratum and special
foliage plants. Some of the flowers
should be of a semi -trailing type
so that they will overflow the edge
and hang down. Needless to say
the boxes, especially if made of
woad, must be strongly built with
the corners preferably reinforced
and they must be well supported
as they will be • heaVy when filled

among themselves they took up a
collection and between games pre-
sented Jack with a cash present.
When boys will dig down into- their
spending money for such a thing,
they must really like the guy.
At the conclusion, Archie, Dob-
son, the Legion president, thanked
one and all for coming out to give
a cheer and a word of apprecia-
tion to the fellows who helped the
Legion sports officer to make this.
project the success that it was.
By this programe, we, of the
Legion, hope to develop a sense
of fair play, a competitive spirit,
the ability to get along With each
other, and the will to win among
the young.lads of the community
who take advantage of the Legion
sports agenda each year. You
know it all makes better citizens
for the future, and the future- of
Canada lies in the hands of the
youth of today. So I'll close with
a thought for our Comrades: "At
the going down of the sun and in
the morning we shall remember
them." Legionnaires, don't forget
the social Friday night in the new
hall.
'(y JACK HOLLAND),
Well, the big night is over, but
there are dozens of youngsters in
the community who will never for-
get it. Of course the topic in hand
was the Legion -sponsored hockey
finals in the local arena last Sat-
urday night.
The Legion is quite happy over
the turnout of the public to see the
young lads wind up their season,
and for the boys it was "Hockey
Night in Seaforth."
At,the termination of each game
—there were four of them—the
trophies were presented to the win-,
ners and, then they were given a
good hot lunch, provided by the
Legion Ladies' Auxiliary. Mr. Lee
Learn, of the Local dairy, donated
all the chocolate milk. .Lee is a
member of the Exeter Legion, and
this donation of milk was most
welcome and a fine gesture on his
part, Thanks again, Lee.
