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.

MOORE, Manager BANK Seaforth Branch 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. Gradual Settling Best Like a good wine or a good book, HEALTH4�� 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: tended for them to hear. It is, 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 it is when the sinalierAtieMberS of the, fa... fly are not ;pi°gni:,.: 111144011' I" • t<�11�UIt 14t1(11';IU'°'i I' ar en 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 with moist a • We're Ready For EASTER With a Huge Showing of Ready -To -Wear SUITS' 49.50 to 65.00 Bold checks, 'neat checks, cords and fine stripes, in all wool English worsted suitings.

Why, 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.
