At the annual banquet of the Association of Canadian Adver-
tisers held at the Royal York Hotel, John Murray Gibbon, Montreal,
general publicity agent, Canadian Pacific Railway, was awarded the
silver medal of the association for an outstanding contribution to
Canadan advertising by an advertising manager.
C. R. Vint, president of the association, presented the medal to
Mr. Gibbon on the recommendation of a jury composed of prominent
CF.radian advertising and promotion executives, headed by H. H.
Rimmer, Toronto, as chairman..
In awarding the medal to Mr, Gibbon, Mr. Rimmer lauded the
long career of this well known railway 'executive whom he referred
to as an "advertising and publicity specialist, poet, novelist, librettist
and musician, who had rendered distinguished service not only in
advertising his own company, but also in advertising the Dominion
of Canada, since joining the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1901."

BARITE FOUND IN N,S.
A eposit of at least 420,000
shorttons of barite has been dis-
closed by drilliug at Pembroke,
Hants county, Nova. Scotia, axe:
cording to a report to the Depart-
ment of Mines and Resources by
L, J. Weeks, Ottawa, geologist of
the department.
The find is considered of great
importance and suggests the pos-
sibility of Canada's production of
barite being increased by a hun-
dred -fold. In 1940 the output was
330 tons,
Barite is required in the drilling
of ell wells. In ground form it
gives added weight to the mud in
controlling gas pressure. It also is
used as a filler in rubber, paper,
oilcloth, textiles, leather and plas-
tics, and as a pigment and exteu-
der in paints.
A mill capable of treating 150
tone of ore a day or about 45,000
tons a year has been erected at
'Walton, about 23 !Hiles from the
deposit in Nova Scotia, Two car-
goes of barite, each of about 2,500
tone. already have been shipped
to Trinidad for use itt the oil weirs
there and 250 tons to Peru.
LOCUST KILLER
Ile.byleva, a member of the staff
of the Russian Tashkent Medical
Institute, has succeeded in develop-
ing a microbe culture that kills
locusts, The microbe is bred in an
infusion of hay, which is sprink-
led on the infested fields. The lo-
cust.,e devour the grass and not
only perish but infect their fel-
lows. The microbe is harmless to
]human beings and animals.
Western Wheat Crop
Reduced. By Sawfly
De:ninion government entomolo-
gists estimated that Western Can-
ada's 1541 wheat production was
reduced by more than 50,000,009
bushels as a result of wheat stem
sawfiy infest • tion.
,The loss, they said. Iceurred on
more than 15,000,0001acres r'auted
to wheat in the Prairie provinces.
The estimate was made after en-
temolol fists from the Lethbridge
laboratory conducted au investiga-
tion tour of some 12,000 miles
through infested fields in Alberta
Saskatchewwt and Alberta.
Magnitude of the loss is blamed
on the severity of the infestation
and on unfavorable weather con
ditione during the harvest season
which prevented recovery of much
of the wheat cut by sawfly larvae-.
Tne Dominion Experimental
Farnt at Swift Current, Sask., is
breeding desirable varieties or
wheat capable of residing wheat
stent cattily.
Oftit•i:als said they hoped that
next year there would be a re.

Auto Graveyards
Source of Metals
The proposal of the American
Automobile Association that a
well-orgonized effort be made to
recover the valuable metal now
going to waste in "junked car"
graveyards all over the country
elnaerves aropept action,.-._edvises
The New X of limes. • The Auto-
mobile Club of New York has es-
timated that some 5,000,000 tons
of steel scrap and much tonnage
in other metals needed for de-
fence can be salvaged from the
7,000,000 outworn cars and car
frames in the nation's dumps. At
a time when shortages are reach-
ing into every field of machinery
that uses metal, any considerable
part of this car waste would be
worth recovery.
Meanwhile the cleaning -up of
the junk yards would be a bles-
sing to the countryside. Here is
a cause which is at once utili-
tarian and aesthetic.

The new draftee had made the
fatal mistake of failing to salute
a second lieutenant, and the latter
was prescribing his punishment,
when the captain came along and
inquired the trouble,
"He failed to salute, sir," re-
ported the lieutenant,
"What do you propose to do
about it?" asked the captain,
"1 have ordered him to stand and
salute two hundred times, sir."
"Quite right, lieutenant," replied
the captain, "Proceed with the pun-

Eight New Ships
For Canada's Navy
Eight quarts of champagne —
the most ever spilled in Canada
in one Maritime. christening ,--
aped towards the Atlantic Ocean
recently along the battle -path to
be followed soon by an octet of
now Canadian war vessels whose
bows it spattered in a unique
ceremony.
Hailed as an event without
parallel in Canadian history, the
multiple christening started with
the smooth launching of one cor-
vette and continued in the same
shipyard operated by Marine Indus-
tries, Limited, with the rapid-
fire blessing of seven other tough
young warships, all nearly ready
for a salt -water initiation.
Named After Canadian Cities
The new vessels — four cor-
vettes and four minesweepers ---
were named after Canadian cities
and towns scattered through
seven provinces from Esquimalt,
B.C., to Fredericton.
It was aunounced that Cana-
dian Corvettes already have scor-
ed successes against enemy 17.

C.N.R. Surplus
To Set High Record
President R. 0, Vaughan of
Canadian National Railways said
lin sit interview the combine ex-
pected to have a surplus for the
current year of $3,000,000 to
$5,000,000, the first since 1929
and largest in its history,
Mr, Vaughan estimated net
profits at between $66,000,0 0
and $68,000,000, before fined
profits at between $60,000,000
1Vlovement of war materials has
boosted freight volume to the
largest since 1923, when the rail-
ways were reorganized in their
present form, Mr, Vaughan said,
adding that there had been a
"substantial improvement" in pas-
stinger, steamship and hotel busi-
ness.
Tho railways are using Amerl,
clan coal in some of its operations
because of the production slow-
down in Cape Breton coal mines,
the President said.
"We have been obliged to ship
American coal as far east as Mont
' -Jori, Quebec, and Edmundston,
N.B., as a result of the slow-
down," Mr. Vaughan explained.
"The situation is improving gra-
dually, but we are still using
American coal in the Maritimes
whereas in 1939 we, were using
Canadian coal in Ontario."
