Among the Pomâ€" pelian finishes, fresh effects are acâ€" hieved by unexpected cushion colours whe next most appealing new thing in this year‘s summer furniture scene are the metal chairs with woven rope seats and dacks. Similar are chairs with woven canvas belting seats and backs. The Hawailian influence in this sumâ€" mer‘s fashion is noted in several extraâ€" wide daybeds or sofas, inspired by that leisurely tropical divan known in Haâ€" wall as the hikiee. Some of these are made with sane frames and panels of Lauhala matting, another tropical deâ€" til. This Lauhala matting is also used as a covering for end tables and sereens and for summer rugs and table mats. A serving counter of this matting is very fresh looking and practical. Tightly Woven Probably the handsomest table and chair group for summer dining is ofâ€" tightly woven reed with a very thick opaque glass top which manages to look much stauncher than the familiar clear glass table tops we‘ve been seeing so long. Another variation in the usual plate glass table top for summer furâ€" niture is of marbleized glass. Another group of summer furniture has chair backs woven like belt buckles. Not for several years, it seems to us has summer furniture many fresh slants. And the best news is the fact that fragile lacy effects no longer have a mortgage on the summer landâ€" secape. _ Those <â€"charming . iron _ lace things are still seen and still in fasâ€" hion, but for those who want more roâ€" bust hours, there are plenty of alterâ€" natives. An important style note in the new summer furniture is the leather upâ€" hoilstered chairs ~chaise longues. The most interesting of these have natural bamboo frames with pigskin and cowhide seats in a specially treatâ€" ed finish. Also new is metal furniture with canvasâ€"slung seats and| . backs laced to the metal frames with rope. Included in this group are also sereens and a serving wagon with laced canvas sides.

There is no decency among the Nazi leaders, and Hess has done enough tc warrant execution in any year of the last ten. We would be afraid that Hess is part of some deep, dark plot in the part of the Nazisâ€"maybe to mislead the British at some vital point. We would be suspicious of him from the start, pecause anything as fantastic as that is likely to appeal to the particular type of Nazi fervor.

It sounds as if Herbert would prefer to help carry the stool rather than take hold of one corner of the piano.

To remedy these two difficulâ€" ties, plans were immediately prepared for the construction of a large addiâ€" tion to the plant, and two of the proâ€" duction men were sent to Britain to gather data on the building of ‘antiâ€" aircraft guns, in British factories. The results have been that the plant enâ€" tension was completed months ahead of schedule, and in the time allotted for the production of the first five hundred gun barrels, nearly one thouâ€" sand were completed. By C. Earl Rice) I visited in Hamilton a plant that is engaged in the manufacture of the swedish Bofors Antiâ€"Aircraft Gun. Before the war, this plant was engaged in the production of commercial and domestic equipment.

It was with foresight and completely need for the manfacture of war mateâ€" is over. The personnel of the plant hnas been increased in less than a year, 300 percent, to a total of more than 2,000 workers. The next few months will see that number increased to 3,000 During peace time, this plant with operated ten milâ€" machines. To day 160 of the machines are in operation. Formerly there were twentyâ€"five lathes, where now there are 110; turret lathes numâ€" bered eight; today there are 100. I have been told that there are now more turret~lathes .in this one plant than formerly could be found in the whole of industrial «Ontario. â€" Surely this is a remarkable achievement for one plant to have accomplished in the matter of tooling up in so short a period of time. The question immediately comes to mind; where was the labour secured‘ to operate all these machines? Young men and women, 18 to 22 years of age, constitute 70 Opercent of the labour used in the plant. These young people were trained in the training school operated by the industry. The course was planned to train young men and{ women to become competent machine!| operators in ten weeks. However, the adaptability of the majority of the students, particularly those who have attended a technical school, coupled! with the efficient instruction that the plant has provided, has enabled the majority of the students to go into the shop, as capable operators, with only five to six weeks training. The train-! ing school operates in three shifts, with 70 students to a shift. Each studen? is assigned to a machine, and is taughtl how to handle and operate it by an instructor who supervises a battery of four or five machines.

However. I shall ‘try and give you some idea of the treâ€" mermious amount of work involved in the manfacture of each gun barrel. The casting is made in a Canadian foundry located not many miles from the factory where it is turned into gun barrel. From the time the casting enâ€". ters the factory, to the time that it leaves, crated and ready for shipment to Fastern Canada prior to being sent to the sceene of hostilities ‘overseas, the gun barrel passes through many operâ€" ations. Each gun barrel must be in-l tant part it enemy. No Job Too Large to help defeat the And so the gun barrels pass on from one operation to another. The barrel ends are threaded, the brass ribbon put in place, the flash guard put on, the recoil spring attached, and then the barrel heat treated to become rust resistant. All of these operations are spected after each operation, both for fNaws in the matetial, and for inaccurâ€" acies in .workmanship. These huge castings are first handled on Lo‘swing lathes, passed, on the P. W. W. boring machines, then to Le Bland boring machines, from these they are passed on to Harnes honing machines, and following that are sent to Bertram lathes. All of these operation have to do with just one phase of making gun barrels, that of boring the casting. After the boring of the casting, it is then passed on to a rifliing machine Here the genius of the plant and govâ€" ernment engineers has been demonâ€" strated. Heretofore rifling â€" machines were only able to cut one "groove‘" in the barrel of a gun, during an operâ€" ation. Now this plant, has perfected a method of boring all 16 "Grooves‘"‘ in an antiâ€"aircraft gun barrel in one operation, thereby ‘greatly speeding up production.

When we read in the daily press, how â€" British Antiâ€"Aireraftâ€" Machine Guns are bringing down enemy bomâ€" bers over the Old Country, we can take no little pride in the fact, that, Canaâ€" dians are producing these guns in large numbers for the Defense of Britain. set. Instead of building just the barâ€" rels for the Bofors Antiâ€"Aircraft gun, the complete gun will be produced, These records have been made possible through the speed and thoroughness of the plant management in coâ€"operation with government engineers, in getting this huge factory built so far ahead of schedule, and in having worked out a plan whereby the total of over 700 heavy machine tools are all standard machines adapted to do the work this plant has been called upon to do, thereâ€" by eliminating to a large degree, the necessity of waiting until . special machine tools could be designed. It is an achievement of which Canadians can well be proud. As I told you in the keginning of this article, this plant has already set a record for production, having comâ€" pleted nearly 1,000 barrels in the time allotted them for the completion of the first 500. Inside of the next two or three months, another record will be I‘ry the Advance Want Advertisements completed in the fninimum of time. I have not attempted to list all of these operations through which these gun barrels pass, but just a few of the many operations understandable to a Iayman, to try and give some idea of the great amount of work and detail Involved in their manujfacture.
