REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
(Continued from preceding page)
M in previous years, a copy of this Report will be mailed to each
Employee. And the Directors wish again to thank Employees of all ranks
for faithful and competent work.
Of those in the Company's service prior to September 1st, 1939,
898 inert have enlisted for war service. To each, an enlistment gratuity
has been paid. And each man has been assured re-employment when dis-
charged.
Men who enlisted had to be replaced. In addition, the enlarged
volume of the last two years has made necessary the taking on of many
more Employees.
On August 1st, 1939, Employees of all ranks numbered 5,300.
On August let, 1941, the corresponding figure was 6,600.
Of these, 2,799 are Employees of less than two years' service.
In an Industry in which the margin of Profit is so narrow, Unit Cost
of production is a matter of the highest importance. The pressure of
increased volume, and the high percentage of inexperienced workmen,
have led, during the year, to a certain increase in Unit Costs.
This has not been due to lack of effort on the part of workmen,
New Employees have had to learn their jobs, frequently under con-
ditions of bewildering pressure. It is hoped that a proper realization of
this fact has been present in the minds of Foremen, Sub -foremen, and
all others charged with the duty of training these inexperienced men and
women.
Directors hope that during the coming year new efficiency records
may be set up. To this end they request the same loyal co-operation
which has always characterized the work of the Employees of the Com-
pany.
Under its Profit-sharing Plan,
the Company, at the end of the fiscal
year, •distributed to Employees a Bonus of $699,407.00.

President R. C. Vaughan, of the Canadian National Railways,
paid his first official visit to the Canadian National Exhibition, to
attend the opening ceremonies. He is shown with J. A. Northey,
Toronto Director of the National System and Trans -Canada Air Lines,
inspecting the Canadian National exhibit, in the Railway Building,
which is largely devoted to showing in a pictorial way the vital im-
portance of the transport industry to Canada's war effort.

What Science
Is Doing
—,o--
ALUNITE ALUMINUM
Approximately three-fourths of
all the bauxite ore from which al -
main= is made in this country is
imported, chiefly from Dutch Gut-.
ana, while most of the remainder
comes from ArkansaS. For Years
scientists have sought to obtain
an additional supply of the light-
weight metal from alunite, a white
or sometimes pinkish mineral •
found in Utah and several other
Western states. The Bureau of
Mines reported recently that the
alunite experiments were at last
successful and that aluminum
needed for defense can be obtain-
ed in quantity and at reasonable
cost from these domestic deposits.
The process involves removing
impurities from, the alunite ore,
thereby freeing the alumina, or
oxide of aluminum, Prone which
aluminum metal is manufactured.
A great deal of power is required
just as in the conventional tech-
niqne of aluminum re,duCtion...
The Department of the Interior
emphasized that alunite cannot re-
place bauxite as the major source
of aluminum, since total, 'domestic
deposits of the former mineral, if
used to meet the nation's full al
uminum requirements, would, laet
less than a year. The process May
also eventually be used for treat-
ing certain aluminum -bearing cla
and low-grade bauxite olOs,
which this country has immdr:Se-
reserves.

COTTON STALKS
Deep down in a former junkroCen
of the Clemson, S. C., College
Chemistry Department and work-,
Ing with homemade equipment'
Prof. F. Zur Burg has produeed
a satisfactory wallboard from
cotton stalks.
This new development presents
the passibility of a new industry
in southeastern United States and
offers a use for cotton stalks
which have heretofore been PleYr*
ed under. Before long, Midwestern
corn, which is being developed
far making synthetic rubber and
gun powder, may be getting ser-
ious competition in industrial use
from Ring Cotton.

many

,new foreign legions in training

seil, It has been known that
their, *strength is constantly in-
creasing, but how formidable a

known for the first time by a

Times of London, who has spent

ters of each nationality in turn.

has now become a regiment, in
some cases a brigade, and in one
„ instance, the Polish, actually a
home division. The Poles are the
largest contingent. They guard
an important Scottish section of
Britain. The Norse are the sec-

They were lucky enough to get
a passage on a barge, and 'When
passing through a lock they .over-

"What you got on board -this'

"Load of fertilizer and a couple

The Englishman
Uses Everything
A Good Use Is Found For
Airplane Crates
At present only the flying fort-
resses and the large bombers are
flown from America to Britain,
Quentin Reynolds writes in Col-
liers. 'The • fighting planes and
dive bondbers are crated and ship-
ped across. One of the marvels
of the industrial age—according to
the boss of the plant where the
American planes are assembled—is
the way the packing is done back
in Buffalo or Long Island or Cali-
fornia.
"Airplanes 'have been coming
here for nearly a year," the boss
explains, "and we have'n't had one
case of damage through faulty
packing. When we unpack the air-
planes we find a very good use for
the crates."
He led me through the barracks
where men who are on duty twen-
ty-four hours a day do their sleep-
ing. They were n t, long bar-
racks, looking a bit self-conscious
in their camouflage war paint.
They could sleep 500 men and in
addition there was a recreation
room,
"All made from the crates sent
over from America," the boss ex-
plained. "Wood is none too plen-
tiful. We don't beieve in waste
around here. Anything that comes
from America is too precious not
to use."
Joke on Gestapo
A joke on the enemy in war-
time is bound to go over if for no
other reason than that it is a joke
on the enemy in warthne. This
episode of the "powder room" is
one which stands on its own mer-
its, however. Not long ago an
extremely serious detachment of
Hitler's best Gestapo goose-step-
ped into the U.S. Embassy in Ber-
lin, blueprints in hand. They ex-
plained with great gravity that in
this blueprint, drawn at the time
Berlin's old Blucher Palace was
being converted into the Em -
was a "powder room,"
which in literal translation reads
"Pulverkammer," a storehouse for
:munitions. The party demanded
to see this potential saboteur's
paradise. They were shown to
the powder room for visiting la-
dies. •
