Airplane Trapping A new hanging rope trap is now operative on three U.S.. air- fields in east Anglia, Already one young pilot's life has been saved by it. Piloting a super- sonic, Thunderstreak bomber, Lieutenant Gill Leimbacli radio- ed his ground 'station that his landing brakes were unservice- able. He had to land at 150 m.p.h„ and unless his machine could be checked he, meet, he knew', overshoot the airstrip. It was certain death for him — or the rope. Quickly the grourid• staff rig- ged „tip their nylon safety at- tachment, consisting of a 150- feet rope, with nylon netting attached, and 'fastened to each end of it' a 20-ton naval anchor chain, such as destroyers nor- mally carry.' The pilot was then signalled down. Shortly after striking the runway he' flew his sunder- carriage slap into the rope's middle, was squarely caught and though he dragged the great chains over two hundred yards, he pulled up finally, with his underearriege smashed, but un- hurt himself, and his precious 'plane designed to carry atomic' missiles, intact, First tried out in Korea, this nylon rope trap gives pilots a second chance should the wheels or brakes 'of their aircraft be damaged. Tricky as it sounds to be wrapped up in nylon and chains, it is also safe. • FEWER SAILBOATS 126 sailboats were shipped by Canada's boat building industry in 1953, • some 38 less than in , 1952, but total, factory value was $83,260, some' $6,389 more than 'in the Preceding year. Win ,the ,JelleSee christened their daughter. Noel they thought - there was no mistaking her sex `; . but on reaching womanhood Noel, found that the Income-tax eutherities deemed her to be a man, so she invented a wife and two children. By employing her imaginary wife in her business, Noel even claimed the wife's earned in- come allowance and expenses — but she came to grief when she invented anon-existent mother- in-law as dependent relative, Noel was just on of the 18,000 tax-dodgers unmasked last year in a 'drive that has reaped useful 125,000,000 for the Ex- chequer, Every year the war , against tax evasion is growing tougher — and the dodges dreamed up by cheats grow more-faetastie, A £7-a-week ,Bristol railway- man claimed relief for a wife and family that grew year by year until he had four children. Then ale mixed up the dates of his children's birthdays and the income-tax men grew suspi- cious. In reality, he was a bachelor. He Went to jail. A schoolteacher claimed re- lief for her widowed mother — and was still claiming nine years after her mother's death. A , Yorkshire tractor driver claimed for twins when his first child was born. He was caught after Seven years. Taking this trick to excess, however, two wily brothers conveniently in- vented a child whenever they bad an increase of income. When questioned by the tax inspectors, they even produced forged Irish baptismal certifi- cates to prove it. They ended up at the Old Bailey. Then there was the spinster who listed her two pet cats as her children and the bachelor who listed as bad debts the gifts he gave chorus girls. Still more ingenious was the man 'who went from job to job and defrauded employers by forging tax adjustment forms. The forms purpprted to show that he was entitled to small rebates of tax and the employers paid up. Commented a magistrate, "This is the first case I've heard of somebody making a profit out of income tax!" For the harsh truth remains that dodgers pay up — usually plus fines — sooner or later. On one occasion, a tax detective no- ticed an advertisement of an auction sale of jewellery and thought it might be worth while to watch who bought what. Most of the buyers proved to be professional jewellers. But a business• man who spent £1,300 on a necklace promptly had his MOTOR burning oil? Losing compres• slon?

Alcan Chemicat Products, Ft. - St. John, B.C. b"ome time age, George Van YalireS, a tree surgeon, faced a neat surgical problem: 'how to restore unsightly, and, destruc- tive eavities,that appeared in the trunks of, trees When they lacked certain vitamins, It was fairly simple* to restore • the arboreal vitamin eteunte, but plugging. the holes waS giother matter,ian Xebecs 340, filling them with cement but it erdeked each time and the holes wouldn't seal, Ev entU allY he' arrived •at the. solution; he fitted riibber, blocks , across the cavity, bored a hole from one side and pumped in melted paiiijU'Wax.

Its, use range from making milk cartons leakproof and stop- ping radio-active neutrons to lining beer barrels. You can even bathe a sore elbow in it. Physiotherapists have Ion g been using wax baths to produce a moist heat for. treating the hands, feet, knees, elbows or shoulders of arthritic or fracture cases. A little mineral oil is added to lower the temperature of the molten wax to about 125 degrees, The patient, for ex- ample, dips his elbow about 12 times to build up a good coat- ing; then it is wrapped in paper . and, towel for 30 minutes to keep in the heat. In the ease of arthritis this therapy seems to loosen the joints, help blood circulation and relieve pain. Wax even played a role in an attempt to determine the fee: of unborn children. Paraffin was is • useful medically because it • is chemically neutral—indeed, "par- affin" is a French derivative of the Latin parum (meaning "lit- tle") and affinis (meaning (af- finity"). For this sex determin- ellen scheme, 'the pregnant pa- tient bit on a chunk of wax, thus producing a sample of saliva. This was analyzed for the pres- ence or absence of certain hor- mones, which, were supposed to indicate the sex of the coming child. Just who first separated wax from crude oil is, hard to estab- lish. It was probably the Scots- man, Dr. James Young. In 1847, )(bung found petroleum, in the form of oil shale,' in Derbyshire, 'England. In 1850 he patented his methods of repovering heavy lubricating oils and paraffin. By 1854, paraffin was, being used by candlemakers. Large-scale com- mercial production, however, had to wait until 1880, Sand :the in- troduction of horizontal filter, presses. Before this, the refiner put chilled, waxy 'oil in a bag 'arid squeezed 'it in a hydraulic press to get the oil out; a ted- ious and rather messy business. • .Wax has ,always been 'highly ueefill to human. beings. In fact there areeso many applications that it'se difficult to understand how the bees kept up with the demand before paraffin wax, was developed. The. Egyptians often , buried waxen images of their gods along with a dead Egyp- , flan. ,The Greeks gave their kid- dies wax d611§;,` while the Rom- ans--:-in the .upper take brackets —preserved wax masks of their', ancestors: In the Middle Ages, the mem- 'ory of departed monarchs and other notables Was kept ali'Ve by treasuring their wax masks. It may have been about this time that the practice began of mak- ing a wax mask or doll of an enemy and sticking pins in it. This was not uncommon strategy until about the end Of the 17th century ' and still survives in more primitive regions. In Spain, reMarkable work was done in producing wax figures of saints, skillfully colored. .01 BE A HAIRDRESSER JOIN CANADA S L EADING SCHOOL Great Opportunity Learn Hairdressing Pleasant, dignified profession, good. wages.

Roger Teachout, Gunnison, Colorado. If you were privileged to walk into Sir Winston. Church- ill's study at Chartwell, his Kent home, you would see adorning the walls many pictures he *has painted himself. For this year he completes forty years as an amateur painter. Mr. Menzies, the Australian Premier, was in the study a little while ago admiring the paintings, some of which have been shown at the Royal Acade- my. Sir Winston asked him to choose one to tare back to Aus- tralia. He chose a study of fishing smacks with a Moroccan setting painted at •Marrakesh. The pic- ' ture has since been flown to Australia — the' first picture by Sir Winston to be seen there, It measures four feet by three feet in its: frame. Sir Winston has had very little time for painting lately but he has always taken his art seriously. He was a pupil of the late Sir John Lavery and also received lessons from Sir Wil- liam Nicholson. Whenever Sir Winston sub- mits a picture to the Royal Academy it is unsigned and is sent under• a pseudonym. Two landscapes once went tinder the name of "Mr. Winter" and these 'paintings were duly hung. "Just to paint is great fun," Sir Winston once said. "Painting is complete as a distraction, I know of nothing 'which, without eXauhsting the body, more en tirely absorbs the rimd."

THIS CAR BARGAIN A "REAL STEAL" Tokio newspapers have re- ceived many protesting letters to the effect that a new song hit "Let's Go To Tokio" has lured farm workers to the city. Astonishing things happen when gullible folk follow in- sturctions never meant to be taken seriously. "The Payments are Peanuts" advertised a New York store, putting over the idea that buy- ers would scarcely notice the hire purchase instalments neces-'• sary to acquire a refrigerator. The Manager was taken aback when a wholesale peanut mer- chant arrived with ten 100 lb. bags of nuts. However, he played up and allowed the man to take the refrigerator. ' A Vancouver dealer placed a label oh a car, "A Steal at $2.- 500." It was stolen the same day. A clergyman is usually de- lighted when people pay atten- tion to his serrrion. But not 'the chaplain of the Federal': Peniten- tiary in Atlanta. One Sunday he preached On the texte "Go Ye Into all the World." Two hours later two prisoners esoapeci. A. petty officer wrote to a pa- per recently to say that he'd been to visit his grandmother, who was distressed by the large holes in the toes Of his kicks. "We wear them like that in the NaVy," he joked, A fetv months Tater joke was on hint 1418 geenchriother sent him several' hew pairs hatid-IthittEcl and all without toes, The proprietor of a small AiTifiriaan hotel was hOt, to have to send parcels, after absent-minded : guests. O he plastered. notices: "Have Von Left Anything Behind?" Taking his injunctions to heart, a honeymoon couple dccatiped with all the movables and left a rote to the nflect that the `beds had been too heavy! A method of metal casting favored by Berivenute Cellini, the 16th centurf'Itelian sculptor, came back into prominence dur- ing World War" II for making precision parts for bombsights, jet engines and orthopedic ap- pliances. This is the "lost wax" process in which a, wax pattern of 'the finished product is made and then invested with plaster. When the plaster has hardened, the wax is melted by heat, escapes through Tone or more tiny openings in the mold, through which molten metal is then poured.! When the metal has *solidified, the plaster is broken away, leaving the article finished except for the removal of the metal formed ,in the "sprue", or pouring, aperture. This method calls for a new plaster casing for' every' casting, but is very accurate. The wax used is normally a mixture of paraffin plus caremba and other vegetable waxes. One of the oldest users of wax is, of course, the candlemaker. He has changed a lot since the 13th 'century, when members of a guild of travelling candlemak- ers went from house to house making "tallow dips". Now con- tinuous molding machines can turn out 1,500 candles an hour, and the wick comes off a reel. Besides the plain (or power- failure) candle, you can buy heart-shaped candlqs, U-shaped ' candles that burn at :both ends, candles that look like beer mugs, apples or pears. As an insulating material, par- affin wax is widely used in the manufacture of eleetric Condens- ers. Other ingredients .may 'be, added, for there are micro-or- ganisms which attack paraffin- impregnated material. Indeed, there is one bug, known as Pen- icillium glaucum, which can ac- tually use paraffin as its sole source of energy. Since paraffin is • inactive chemically, it must be a fairly tricky problem to digest it, 'and would undoubtedly be impossible for anything ex- cept Penicillium glaucoin. -Another; paraffin addict was John W. 1-1cMillan, an early pro- ducer and refiner of oil in Pe- trolia. He died in 1891, after ex- pressing- the` wish that he be embalmed in wax.• This wish was than faithfully carried out. Notetenly his coffin, but his whole grave in' Petrolia dente- tory was filled with almodt a ton of paraffin wait. Maybe 'he .wae afraid of nett- teonst --From The Imperial Oil Review.
