Seaforth 5, Clinton 4 The Beavers increased their win- ning streak to sixstraight games when they defeated the fast -travelling Clinton Colts in Clinton on Thursday, in their last !scheduled game. The rink was packed and as usual a large enowd' from Seaforth went up to see the game. The Clinton. team was short their regular goalie, Elliott, and Foster, . a forv'ard, while Seaforth played minus Hubert, their star de- fense man. This game evened things up between these two teams, both having lost their two home games. Neilaas, replacing Elliott in the Clinton net, bad plenty of work to do in the first period; when the Beavers did everything but scare. The Colts towards the end had a slight edge on tete Beavers, and after 10 minutes of fast hockey, Puneh McEwen was giv- en credit for scoring, wh„n he shot the puck out of the corner and it glanced off one of the Seaforth play- ers into the net. A. Hildebrand was given the only penalty ofthe first period. The second period had no better than started when "Smoky" Harris hanged in his first goal of the night to even bhangs up. Schroeder, who Las been scoring many goals lately, wade it 2-1 for the Beavers with the assistance of the Hildebrand brothers six minutes after Harris' goal. From this on until the end of the second e the Colts really put on the pressure and four minutes later Draper soared on a shot from a scramble around the goal to even up the game. With less than two minutes to go, Puneh Mc- Ewen scored his second goal, to make it 3-2 at the end 0 the second. Willis was sent off for tripping. Some fast scoring was done in the ;third, when after two minutes of play The Week At the Seaforth Collegiate Institute (By Alastair Wlgg) A gloomy atmosphere hangs over' feseor," was a success.

Kennedy was also sent off in this period for holding. Muir and Sills did a great job, hav- ing to do Dextra duty without Hubert.

The material of the whole ex- terior will be stone and granite. The building throughout has been designed in a classical• style and Rias been kept simple and restrained in character in conformity with the best elements of the modern school of thought in architecture. There will be talo entrances, the One on • Bay Street leading to an ele- vator lobby with four large, fast ele- vators serving the superstructure and through tbie lobby into the Banking roomy iS Rug;, PJ di people attended the performance on Thursday night, but on Friday' a crowd of 450 jemmied the auditorium. After all 'expellees are met, it is ex- pected that $100.00 will be cleared. * * l The Athletic Societies were well pleased with the dance held on Fri- day a venire after Commencement. A large crowd of younger 'folk and stu- dents stayed and+ enjoyed; themselves; dancing to the music of the Royal Collegians. $36.00 was taken in at the dance and $26.00 od it as profit, * * * At a meeting of the Boys' and Girls' Athietio Societies on Monday the profits -of the dance were divided. About 16 anembers were present and Barbara Best, ppesident of the girls' society, took charge of the meeting, et was mowed by Dorene Regier and seconded: -by Isabelle McKellar that the Royal Collegians be paid $10.00 for their services. The girls agreed that the 'boys had done ail the work connected with the dance, so the boys received $14.04 of the money and the girls $12.00. s * * A new idea was suggested for the distribution of the prizes at next Com- mencement. ommencement. As matters stand now, there are prizes for the students com- ing first and second, but some pupils think this is unfair. The idea sug- gested is to eliminate the second a- ward and give a booby prize instead. Perhaps the -pupils that ,suggested it were thinking of themselves, * * * . Everyone feels sorry for the two students who were not able to attend the dance after Commenoement. The reason was not because they were sick, but because they were stuck at the station. The girl took one of the leading parts .in the Operetta and the boy drives a big grey car. What cannot be understood, however, is how they came to be stuck at the sta- tion. They were not stuck until 11 and the train goes thorough at 10, but perhaps they were waiting for the morning train. Guess who they were? • * * Still speaking of dances and still in a sympathetic mood, students also feet sorrow for another boy who met with an accident on Friday night. The Goderich Collegiate held their annual At -Home on Friday night and a cer- tain S.C.I. student ,attended. The night was stormy, the roads were bad, visi- bility was poor. Anyway -the student returning home at 3 a.m. bumped! in- to an innocent snowdrift and over- turned his car. Luckily the student was not injured and was able to reach Seaforth about 5 a.m. There is no getting away from the saying: "Early to bed, early to, rise, makese a .man healthy, wealthy and wise."

It also stated quite positively that there had been many improvements in past years but there was little More to hope for in the fu- ture.-" If we thad a correspondence file ex- tending through the ages from that time up to the present, we could pull' out letters at random, any years we desired, and they would all read the same. "We don't see, how people us- ed to get along without all of our present improvements and conveni- ences; but we don't see much chance for further improvement in • tines fu- ture.' • It seems to be a characteristic in- born• in the human being. It -is easy to see what benefits we have obtain- ed in the past, but more difficult to believe that even more anarvelous ad- vancementte are to be forthcoming in the future. It is easy to take adbant- age of common -place conveniences Such as the telephone, automobile, electric lights, but who would have credited such possibilities one bun- dred years ago? It is easy to look back at the origin of these and other developments and recognize what re- search and scientific progress have contributed to our well-being, but to- day it is the fashion to denounce sci- ence •and technological development. That is where the danger lies -that in our zeal to correct weaknesses or abuses we will slow down the prime mover responsible for the very funda- mentals .of our "progress. It is, of course, true that a certain type 0 development work -the so- called "labor-saving" variety --does displace men from -jobs-•-but this is only one side of the story. So few people ever talk about the "labor - creating" type of technological devel- opment, yet . what else is responsible for the millions of jobs furnished. by the automobile industry, communica- tions, aviation, and the manufacture of many. other products not in exist- ence a few years ago. 11, is a ques- tion 0 tens and hundreds 0 jobs lost against thousand and millions of new jobs created. Our periods of great- est prosperity, the most definite im- provements in our standard of living, have been almost without fail the re- sult of a new industry or new indus- tries coming into maturity. Any busi- ness utilizes more men in the 'build- ing up process than it, noes after it has had its growth and become more or less stabilized. That. is why we need these new thing.; coming along continually. That i the source of most of our trouble -in tbe last eight or nine years. The prosperity of the twenties stemmed directly from the mad fever of development and investi- gation during the war. Any idea was worth investigating during the war, and for the next ten years we lived on the commercial exploitation of those ideas, peaceful by-products of the fury of war. But we -forgot to keep the new things coming along, and the inevitable result soon occur- red --people stopped buying the old things. insuring the Future That is what research is for. There are several definitions 0 research which d like, but probably my favor- ite one is this: Research is trying to find out what you are going to do when you can't keep on doing what you are doing now In other words, it is insurance against the future, against the inevitable changes which will occur whether or not we desire them. Therewill always be changes, and any business which stands still or follows a blind, uncharted course boon finds itself separated from the path of Prosperity. The popular conception of research seems to be an elaborate building, fill- ed with mysterious "apparatus, and white -coated scientists tip -toeing there and there performing their miracles of magic. That may be all right for publidity purposes, bit it doesn't ac- complish much research work. In our Research Laboratories, visitors some- times express their surprise --and a hidden disappointmrnb-at the large nuniber of offices spread around the 'building, their only equipment being a desk and chairs. We explain that that is where the, most important work is done. My answer usually is to point to a sign hanging on the wall in one office, "Engineering is a com- bination of brains and materials --the more brains, the less materials." Common Sense Not that there is any dearth of equipment or materials when needed. Nothing can take the place of actual experiment, building, trying out, no matter how scientific maybe the the- ory behind it. The ordinary proce- dure is to figure out wbat seems to be the best way to do a job, then see if your apparatus and tests agree with you; but sometimes you are better off to go ahead anal experiment without worrying too mach about the theory behind it. It is something like the meeting of a mathematical society where they decided to- try a new prob- lem. All the members sat aro-end the edge 0 the large meeting room, the president turned out the lights and placed a chair somewhere in the mid- dle of the room. The problem was to locate the chair. All went well while the members tried the theory of prob- abilities and various forms of higher mathematics, until one poor ignorant man --probably an outsider -got 'Mee and started walking around. He lo- cated the chair first. He may have bumped his shims, he may !have been unorthodox in his method, but he was the first to find the chair; thus prove Ing the theory that unintelligent mo- tion is sometimes better than intelli- gent standing etilL . • to of MO* There are, 0 court*, "]dols .... reseal:01 andit a' Tpltjtude of ddifferent metho'de,• 'but When you get deeell'to f.uedauieettajs there is not mean, voila. tiem, to the final =Wealth rrese+arnl is. ,at state of mind.

A paper and pencil are all the equip- ment necessary to begin. Write down' on that paper a list of eight or ten 0 your problems, things that are bothering you, that you would like to Stave changed in- some way. Just put them down in any order as you think of them. Now look them over and see if there isn't one you can do seine - thing about -not the first one; that is probably a bard one. Pick an easier one down the list. If you have some success there, take another one and see if it isn't easier. It is like a cross word puzzle. Every one you get helps with the others. Suddenly one day you discover that all your original problems thave been crossed off. Of course, by that time you probably have a longer list 0 new problems, but that, too, is typical of all type$ of research. It never stops. The Diesel That is just as true research as is practised by any corporation ar lab- oratory. In fact, that is approximate- ly tete way the -light-weight Diesel en- gine was developed by General Mo- tors. " We 'began thinking about Dies- els quite a few years ago, first in connection with our study of fuels. We were trying to find out something about knock in an engine, and one of the things we discovered was that anything yon did to make a gasoline' engine knock less made a Diesel en- gine knock more -and vice versa. One knocked at full load, the other at light load. Ethyl fluid, the result of our previous work on anti -knock fuels caused a terrible racket in a Diesel. And, so it went Eventually we found a perfectly logical reason for this; :t was the same thing in both cases. It was all a matter of the rate of burn- ing of the hue). When a mixture of gasoline- and air is ignited and burns too fast, there is a knock. In a Diesel engrne;; when the oil is injected into that very •hot, highly compressed air, you want it to start burning the in- stant the first molecule gets in there, the faster the better. If it -doesn't burn fast enough, the engine knocks. We finully straightened that out, at least in our minds, but, more import- ant, we began to think more serious- ly about Diesel engines. We laid out a list of all the problems and trou- bles of this type of engine; in fact, all the troubles which had cropped up since Rudolph Diesel had built his first engine, designed to operate on powdered coal almost forty years es,+lien•. The situation was quite dif- ferent now; many of the problems had already been solved. The ad- aneeneent in metallurgy alone, for exautnle, was sufficient to alter the picture drastically, and made it com- paratively easy to cross off some it- ems from the list. Other work of an entirely different nature made it pos- sible to erase some more, Gradually the number decreased, and while bhe remaining ones were probably the hard -est on the list, they at least gave us a definite starting point when work was actively begun on this project. it was this work, in co-cpc:ration with the Winton Engine Company in Cleve- land, which produced the first models of those Dies -el engines now coming into Vile extensive use en tbe rail reads. It must be admitted right here that a number of new items were added. to that list of problems before the work lYad progressed very far. No one had thought of them because no one knew such problems existed in engine build- ing. And as a matter of fact, there are still quite a few things on that list_ When they are all gone and the Diesel engine has no more problems or troubles, you will know that its day is over and something else has taken its place. °' Diesel Cars One problem which is still there, and wirich causes more argument thou any other, is that of building a IJies.el in small cylinder sizes suitable ter automobile passenger car use. Peo- pi' keep inquiring as to when, a Diesel powered car will be introduced, and it is apparent that many of them feel it is being deliberately .held back, either because of subsidies from the gasoline companies or some other ra- ther shady reason. There is only one reason why, such a car is not on tbe market, and that is that we do not know how to build one. There are some things easier to build in small sizes than in large, but, a Diesel en- gine is not one of them. They can be built, of course, •but if the builder is intelligent he will not wait around for customer reaction after the sale is completed. He will be safer many miles away. For the car will run, and might offer improvement in economy, -but to anyone accustomed to the per- formance and comparative lack of trouble of the present-day gasoline en- gine it would seem like a •backward step of many years. Of course this is all as of the aut- umn of 1938. That problem is still on the list, and there is no reason to think that it cannot be surmounted and checked off just as many others have been, 1f the Diesel engine is to be the next milestone in transpor- tation, we know that some way will be found to bring it down in size. without sacrificing other advantages. It is not beyond the realms of possi- bility, however, that by then a new idea will have come into view, some development.1 which will make the Diesel look ab out-of-date as the first "one-Iu'eger," horseless carriages. For we knew that there will be changes in the future, and it is the ,job of re- search, if left unhampered politically and economically, to see that those changes are in the right direction.
