Plant Starts Assembly Lint Production of Shlpe The shipbuilders' dream as- sembly line production, has begun to Vancouver, Wash. "Keep 'em rolling" became a ahlpyard war cry for the first time as Kaiser Company, Inc., laid a keel of the first of a fleet of Liberty freighters la the first completed way at s new $17,000,- 000 plant on the ColunLbla River. 12-Way Yard It took 'The Kid" of tlie bust- ness 23 year -old Edgar r. Kalsw, dam contractor extraordinary turned shipbuilder to rewrite the automotive Industry's book for ships. In the new 12-way yard entire superstructures will roll along an assembly line while hulls take form on tue ways. Stacks, booms, pilothouse, bridge, staterooms, cnhlus everything above docks, even to the wood- work and fittings will be added as Mich gigantic unit moves along the line. By the time the hulls are launch- ed the superstructures will be fin- ished, moved Into huge bays ready for lowering onto the linllR In one plooe. Simply Welded On After that, Its simply a inutler of welding, minor outfltlliiK and adjustment before the nblps are readr to go Into oorvico carrying war cargoes to American nnd United Nations troops nil over the world. Whore the now tvcliniu.un will tvi' l In the outfitting busln. How many days tlio superstructure assembly line will nliave off total funding time even Kaiser's pro- duction experts don't know yot.lnit they expect It to be plenty. They believe ths methods used will revolutionize American ship- building, but that's not the Im- portant tiling. What they waiit to do Is turn out 10,000-ton BC-2B' faster thsn they've ever bean built kefore ISSUE 18 '42 What Science Is Doing FIGHTING FEVER In a single hen's egg, Rocke- feller Foundation scientists can grow enough yellow-fever virus to protect twenty persons for at least six years against the deadly trop- ical malady. The process consists of using the delicate membrane beneath the shell as a medium In which the microbes multiply rap- idly. The culture Is then removed from the egg, frozen Into relative Impotence, and diluted In a salt solution. A fraction of an ounce of this Injection brings active Im- munity. Last week Raymond B. Fosdlck. president of the founda- tion, announced In his annual re- view of the organization's work that manufacture of this vaccine had gone Into mass production for the war's duration. During 1941 the Army and Navy received about 1,920,000 free doses for tropical fighters. Other large shipments went to Africa, India, Brazil, and Singapore, bringing the total number ot shots to 4,- 260,680, or the virus output of 213.000 experimentally Infected eggs. Reminder to shortage-wor- ried lioii?wlTs: the eggs ware grade C, and anyway American hens lay about 1,750,000,000 doien eggs each year. To fight another age-old tropical disease, malaria, the foundation used $2.000.000 and 2,000 workers to clean up 12,040 square miles of Infested territory In Northeastern Brazil. As a consequence, 1941 saw the region practically free of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gam- blae. Two scientists are now study- Ing the extent and treatment of malaria In Trinidad, an Import- ant American base. Newsweek. HOW CAN I? Scots Did It Much is heard these duys about the "scorched earth" policy, says the St. Thomas Times-Journal, and It is spoken of as if the Chin- ese were the first to put it into effect against the Japanese at the beginning of the "China incident." The Scots did that, however, six or seven hundred years ago against the English. The latter had more men and were better armed, and when they crossed the border the Scots retreated, taking with them the livestock and field products. The stuff that could not be carried away was killed or burned. The result waa that the in. uilr i- were soon obliged to go back for lack of food. It was thui policy that enabled the Scots to so often thwart their enemies. No doubt, "scorched earth" is much older than that. Q. How can I re-glue the joints of furniture? A. The old glue which clogs the wood pores of joints to be re-glued prevents the new glue from setting firmly. When this happens, steam the surface of the part to be glued with a damp cloth and a hot iron. The joint will then be in excellent con- dition for the application of fresh glue. Q. How can I remove the black specks which sometimes form on liver? A. By using a paste of whiting, that is free of grit, and olive oil; lightly polish with old silk. If the speck* are obstinate, smear with the paste and leave it on for some time. Q. How can I make a good salad dressing for cabbage or fresh green valads? A. A dressing can be quickly made by mixing powdered sugar In sour cream, with vinegar added to taate. Q. How can I prevent kid gloves from smelling of perspira- tion? A. When putting away the kid gloves after wearing them, shake a little talcum powder into them. This will absorb any moisture that may be lingering in the fea- ther and entirely remove that ob- jectionable smell of leather. Q. How can I promote the growth of houseplants? A. Geraniums and other In m.se - plants that are kept in the win- dows should be turned around frequently so as to promote the growth of well-rounded plants. An Optimist An amusing xtory reaches me of a war savings meeting In a village at which the loral centen- arian was persuaded to rorae on to the platform nnd address the aud'lence. Ills speech ran as fol- lows: "I be an old man of lOfi. I be the oldest inhabitant. I've got a tricycle and I can ride *un as well. My young brother of 96 can't ride a tricycle but I can. I ride 'un every Saturday morning down to post office and gi*t a saving? cer- tificate. H costs me fifteen shil- lings but that don't matter, be- cause In ten years' time It will be worth more than that." Illrtning- ham Post. Joking Cuttomeri "How much ar- your four-dollar .ho..?" Small Sale. man: "Two dol- lar* foot." SALVAGE and the War Effort! Since the outbreak of the war, we have made a specialty of buying surplus and obsolete machinery of every de- scription. As a result of our effort*, we have been able to supply vital "War Industries" with rebuilt machinery of every description. To-day, there are tremendous quantities of used and sur- plus machinery equipment and supplies of all kinds lying dormant in warehouses, cellars and sheds throughout the) country. This material must be sorted out in order to be used to the best advantage in the war effort, which require* both machinery and scrap metal*. If it u salvagable machinery, w are prepared to pay a good price for it; if it U scrap th prke u still good; th price U *t and controlled by UM Canadian government. In either case look around and what you have to offer and write, wire or telephone ut at Adelaide 2454-2455 Evening*, Mohawk 5270. In this National Emergency, aH loyal Canadian* *hould co-operate with us in our drive for Greatest "War Effort." E. Hoffman Machinery Supply 181 KING ST. EAST TORONTO, ONT. Have You Heard? A. Scottish church held a self- denial week. At the end of the week, one of the members handed over a donation of 6s, 3d, all In threepenny pieces. "Tell me, Jock," said the par- son, "how U it your contribution is in threepenny bits?" "Well, ye see, sir, It's my cus- tom to have three whiskies and sodas every day, but as we were holding a self denial week I felt I must give up something." Then, nodding towards the small coins, "Those are the sodas, sir." Young Mother: "The land- lord called today, and I paid the month', rent and showed him baby." Young Father (of crying baby): "Pity you didn't show him the >ent and give him the baby.". MacTavish purchased a pair of boots, which were guaranteed for a year. After eleven months, he re- turned, and complained that they were not standing up to the guarantee. "Are you sure they fit you all right?" asked the manager. "They fit ine a' rlcht," was the answer, "but my brother on night shift says they're a bit too tight for him." Mew Orderly! "Vitamin bee." The hope of the family return- ed from his first day's work at a munitions factory with fingers bandaged. "Ho, Bert," said his father, "how's this?" "Well," said the bright ens, "the foreman said the machine was fool-proof, but I soon showed him." "You hammer nail* lik* lightning." "You mean I'm a fatt worker?" "No, you never ttrike twice In the >am place." Two cyclists pulled up for tht night at a hotel. "Well, I think," said the host, "that you'll have a comfortable night. It's a feather bed." At two o'clock in the morning, one of the cyclists roused his companion. "Change plates with me, Dick," he groaned, "It's my turn to lie on the feather." "Good heaveni, MTher- >on, you've holed in one!" "Aye! It ave wear and tear on the ball." At a bar dinner, Sam Ewlnj, a lawyer and a great punster, was called upon for a song. While he hesitated, Judge Hopkins ob- served at best it would be no great matter as it would be but Sam (psalm) singing. "Well," replied Ewing, "even that would be better than him (hymn) singing." Soldier (finding wa.p in hi. .tew): "Hi, what'. thi?" New Night Fighters Used By Germans A Berne dispatch quoting ths Berlin correspondnet of Die Tat said the Germans were using multiple-seated D i e a 1 planes equipped with radio location ap- paratus as night fighters. The detection apparatus was said to determine the position and direction of attacking planet by picking up radio waves from the raiders' ignitions. The Ger- mans were said to be using Diesel motors so there would be no mag- neto interference with the de- tectors. Ontario At Peak . Of Hog Production L K. O'Nell. director ot live- stock for Ontario, told the Agri- culture) committee of the Legisla- ture that the province now has reache-d the maxlmux In hog pro- duction considering the available feed. "We'll have to Import morn grain or cut down on production In other lines of livestock," said Mr. O'Nell. The llvMtock director supplied ths committee members with a table of figures on th swtne In- dustry In which It was; shown hot marketings In Ontario In 1941 to- talled 2,326,628. This was a little more than one-third of the total marketings in Canada. With regard to t.ie trend of pro- duction another table showed Wetern Canada had a 26.8 per cent increase in 1941 over that in 1940, while Eastern Canada show- ed only 1.9 per cent Increase. Alberta, be said, was now On- tario's greatest competitor in quan- tity of hog production and was pressing this province In the mat ter of quality. British Lives Lost By Nazi Bombings "We are all in the front line this time, in Britain," and the words have real significance when we read the civilian casualties in the British Isles, caused by the German bombing raids, says The Niagara Falls Review. Here are the figures up to October, 1941s Killed Injured Men 19,789 28,867 Women . 17,089 20,840 Children .... 5,044 4,08ft The almost miraculous feature about the war in Britain is that there is no war weariness, but an ever-growing will, determination to win, a desire to sacrifice all normal things to rid the world of the boche.
