HALIFAX POSITION
Rae McGeoch Heads C.G.E.,
Maritime Division.
RAE-McGEOCH
In a recent issue of the Hamilton
Spectator, reference is made to the
opening of new headquarters in Ham-
ilton by the Canadian General Elec-
tric Company Limited, Manager, • of
the Hamilton plant is Ra"e McGeoch,
formerly of Tuckersmith, and a bro-
ther of Mrs. Paul Doig and Roy Mc-
Geoch.
Since the opening took place Mr.
.icGeoch has been promoted to the
position of district manager for the
company in the Maritimes with heati-
quarters in Halifax. He recently
moved his family to that city.
The Hamilton paper says:
"Official opening ,of a new combin-
ed office, showroom and warehouse of
-Canadian General Electric,.Companys
Limited, at James Street South and
Hunter Street, ,took place Saturday
afternoon when company employees,
and guests attended a, reception in
the new .building. The company has
`operated a Hamilton office since 1918.
"The new branch will distribute all
electrical equipment used by, indus-
tries, homes a,nd farms. In addition.
C.G.E. engineers and technical• 'faciii-
ties will be available to municipa_r-
ties and organizations• desiring spec-
ialized serviees. All company lines
will be handled; including electrical
apparatus, supplies and appliances.
The staff has been increased to 38.
"The new building which is of func-
tional design, is constructed of rein-
forced concrete, Queenston cut stone
and brick. Fluorescent lighting and
ei1 heating have been installed. With
a total of 30,000 square feet of floor
space, the new headquarters has four .
times es much' space as the former
C.G.E. premises on John Street South.
As ---a result, improved shipping and
receivir-g facilities will speed up the
company's service. Additional space
also means more adequate stocks to
serve the expanding industrial and
den.
During the evening the Bannock-
burn Kiltie Band delighted the clan
with the music of the pipe and
drum. 'llhe pipers were Hector Kings-
well, Clinton, and° Nelson Howe, of
Cromarty. The drummers were Roy
Keys, Varna, and Watson Webster,

The marriage took place on Satur-
day, August 30, at 4.30 p.m., at -Main
Street United Church Parsonage, of
Beth Elaine, eldest daughter of Mrs.
Hannah Cowan, of Exeter,. and the
late Leith Cowan, of Montagne, Prince
Edward Island, to John William, eld-
est son of Mr, and Mrs. Oreille Smith,
of Zurich. The ceremony was per -
'formed by Rev:• Harry J. Mahoney,
B.D., pastor of the church. The bride,
looking very winsome in a street -
length dress of 'i rey crepe :with sil-
ver trimming, navy halo hat and;navy
accessnnies; was attended by her sis-
ter, Miss Frances Cowan, of London•
who looked' charming in rose wool
with black accessories and corsage •of
Better Times roses. • The bride's cor-
sage was of pink Sweetheart roses,
and her only ornament was a gold
locket and chain, the gift of the
groom. Mr, Harry Smith, brother, of
the groom, performed the duties of
best man. Following the ceremony a
reception was held for the immedi-
ate members of both families at Hen-
sall,-at the lovely hoi'ne' of Mrs. Flora
Coneitt,, paternal grandmother of the
groom. A profusion of cut flowers
adorned the rooms, and in the dining
`room the table, tastefully decorated
with pink and white streamers, pink
and white flowers and white candles,
was centred with .a three -tiered wed-
ding cake with miniature figures of •a
bride and groom on'top, The toast,•to
the pride and groom was proposed by
Mr. I. C. Cowan, brother of the bride,
and fittingly responded to by the
groom. The bride's mother wore navy
crepe with corsage of pink and white
snapdragon and the groom's mother
was gowned' in black cheer, 'her cor-
sage was of pink sweet peas.. Mrs.
Consitt, wearing black crepe, ' also
W(1.P a corsage of pink sweet- peas;
while Mrs. Broderick, of Exeter, the
groom's maternal grandmother, wore

-the reception the bride and groom
left for Toronto on a short wedding,
trip, and on their return will reside

Back From Study of Mosquitoes, Etc.
Anyone going into Canada's north
country in the early • summer has
-found the onslaughts of black flies
and mosquitoes almost intolerable.
For -the permanent residents of these
northern districts there is, little es-
cape froni the pests. With the object
of making a study of these biting in-
sects and developing an experimental
control program a joint Canadian-
UTnited. States party of experts recent-
ly visited Churchill, Manitoba, arriv-
ing there in, May, 1947. The Canadian
party was in charge of Dr. C. R.
Twinn, .Division of Entomology, Dom-
inion Department of Agriculture, 'Ot-
tawa, .and the United' States party
was under W. C. McDuffie, Bureau of
Entomology, U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture.
When the party arrived- the Church-
ill area was covered with ice and
snow but by -the middle of June the
snow was gone on the tundra and was
fast disappearing in the forest areas.
Mosquito larvae began hatching in
some of the more sheltered tundra
pool's• about the end of May and in
snow pools in the forests in early
June. By the third week of June, five
of the seventeen species, of mosqui-
toes collected, were on the . wing, and
were becoming common and trouble-
some. Toward' the end of June great
numbers Were emerging and aided' by
strong southerly winds, they became
abundant in Fort Churchill, while ` in
the woods, on the tundra, and even
on the wind-swept granite and gravel
ridges, they occurred '111 immense
numbers attacking in swarms in
bright sunshine, • in spite of strong
wands. They reached their greatest
numbers in mid-July and later declin-
ed.
Black flies breed in great numbers
in strean>'s' and rivers in the Churchill
region, and the species most annoy-
ing to humans was on the wing by
the first week of July: From that
time on the blaek....11ies became in-
creasingly troublesome and_ persons
not adequately protected were severe -
commercial needs - of the Hamilton
area.
Plenty of Experience
."Manager of the •new branch is Rae
McGeoch, who has directed C.G.L.
activities' in Hamilton since 1941:, An
electrical engineer, Mr. McGeoch join-
ed the company in 1920, Prior to his
present post,, he served as manager
of the industrial division' of the•,•To-
ro.'.'to district office. He is well known
in. Hamilton district where he is a
member of the tRotary, Hamilton
Thistle and Hamilton Golf -Clubs,
"The Canadian General Eleetrie
Company Limited, can trace its earl-
iest history back to the City of H:t.m-
ilton. About 1882, the Edison Elec-
tric Company' in the States • shiuped
several small 30 K.W. generarors
frim Schenectady to Hamilton for
assembly and installation in Canada.
Sec oral of these machines went to
the Ottawa Valley, one to Young's
Mills onhe Chaudiere, and three to
the Canadian Cottons plant at Corn-
wall. At that time newspaper com-
ment ,stated electric. lights' would
never ,beenene popular.
"Later the firm ili:Porting the gen-
erators moved to Montreal and then
to Sherbrooke, Que, In 1890 they com-
pleted negotiations with the City of
Peterborough for a, 30 -acre tract of
land and the Edison Electric Com-
pany (Canada) as the firm was then
called, moved into its first buildings.
in •] 92. ,Later the name was change
en to the Edison Gdneral• Electric
Company to conform with the change
in name of the parent company in the
'limited States.
Became Interested
"In the meantime. a number of To-
'ronto business men had become in-
terested in this new invention that
would replace smoky oil torches and
oil lamps for street and commercial
lighting, It was not for some con-
siderable time that electrical lighting
was considered to be suitable for il-
lumination. In 1888, ten Toronto bus-
iness men each put $1,000 into a cen-
tral pool to explore . the possibilities
of electrical developments in, Canada.
"Through the vicissitudes of the
following • years, the venture strug
gled until finally it was •d-ecided to
purchase the Peterllororigh works
f-om the Edison General Electric Co.
Since that time, the company has
grown and expanded until now owns
plants throughout •Ontrtr°io and Que-
bec with sale's offices and warehouses
in all the principal cities across Can-
ada.

Tests' were spade` with` yariQus
ehe1)0e4 on. breeding areae, against
the—Deets when in the Larval stage,
and against the winged adults. Gen-
erally DDT Was founa to be the most
efficient. Aerial spraying tests with
DDT against adult '• mosgliitoes' gave.
excellent control in forested areas,
using half a pound of the chemical per
acre applied; at swath intervals of 100
yards and at • a flying height of- 100
feet, On open country -and during un-
favorable weather conditions, how-
ever, this dosage and method of ap-
plication did mot provid, adequate
control. Because of the large number
of mosquitoes in surrounding areas
and the, continuing emergenees of new
adults; treated areas of one square
mile became reinfested in periods of
two to sevendays, while small test
plots were reinfected often In less
than an hour.
Eighteen, repellents were tried out
in field tests against mosquitoes and
.black fides, and several of them gave.
protection for from five to six hours
under experimental conditions. It was.
found that mosquitoes apparently bite
more readily through woollen than
cotton clothing, and that the applied. -
tion of repellent to the outside of
the clothing has definite protective -
value. BIack flies, on the other hand,
show a preference for getting inside
the clothing, 'so repellent applied to
the exposed skin and outside of the
clothing does not always give com-
plete protection from bites.
The work of the experts is far from
finished and much ,.valuable informa-
tion was obtained which still remains
to be studied.

EVEN at normal cruising speed, the pistons of your car\
take a cruel licking. With each explosion one of them
gets smacked down with pile-driver force --pressure runs
more Than a ton and a half. Heat builds up to 600° and
higher. And the pistons . take this. lours on end — one
thousand smacks and more every minute.
Aluminum.. pistons are made to stand this sort of pun-
ishment, and more. That's why they are used is airplane
engines, too.
Another reason is their, lightness; which in • turn means
power economy. Here's why: You can push a modern,
lightweight aluminum vacuum cleaner back and forth with
almost no effort. (An engineer would explain it in terms
of low inertia.) And inertia is important in
a piston, which must reverse its direction
` \r every split second. The less force needed to
,'' ' ► stop it and head it the other way is that
muchpower saved to drive plane or motor
„ car with that much greater pep and speed.
