Sleeping In The Sky Extolled To Kiwanis Monday was Transâ€"Canada Airways day at the Kiwanis luncheon at the Empire Hotel. H. D. Harling, Nortbern sales representative of the T.C.A , was guest spesker, other guests sbeing K. R. Esselmont, T.C.A. manager at Porâ€" quis Junction, â€"and Perey Youlten, agent at Timmins. ; % In addition to a very effective and informative address by Mr. Harling, a film was showp that ilJustrated, and enforcedjthe facts of the addréess. This film, the ‘machine being operated by eputy Fire Chief Jas. Morton, gave an entertaining story of the first flight of a timid businws man. Mr. Barngaby weas so afraid of the dangers and disâ€" comforts of air travel that he was on the point of collapse before reaching the airport, but after enjoying the ccmfort and plecsure of air travel on TC.A. he was able to relax and before journey‘s end he was peacefully "Sleeping in the Sky," as the title of the film suggested. His peace of mind was soon established when he perâ€" used T.C.A. booklets which showed how carefully T.C.A. machines and men were looked after, Popular TCA In opening his address, the guest speaker pointed out the everâ€"growâ€" ing populzrity of air travel. Last year twentyâ€"five million‘ people travelled by air. No less than 300,000 had used the air services from this continent to Europe. In 1949, the speaker said, the T.C.A. had averaged over 100 flights per day, with over 90 percont. of them right on schedule. So well had machines been handled and mer trained that the one difficulty seeimed to be the weather, and even this had been conquered in a way. While nothâ€" ing could be done about the weather, still by skilled scientific methods the weâ€"ther could be foretold in advance, and this allowed the necessary safeâ€" guards and plans. Save Time The saving of time by air travel was touched upon by the guest speakâ€" er. He showed the remarkable adâ€" vance made in air travel in recort years. When Jules Verne in 1873 wrote the book, "Arcund the World in Eighty Days," the idea was conâ€" sidered fantastic and ridiculous. Toâ€" dry. the world could be circled in four days, twentyâ€"three hours, 47 minâ€" utes. by plane. The development of the jet planes would even speed up present records. The speaker showed clearly how closely sofety was guarded by the TC.A.. the inspection of machines and the training of the men in charge leaving little chance for trouble. In addition to passengers carried, the TCA. was giving a notable service in the tronsporting of mail, express freight. H. G. Laidlaw introduced the guest speaker and the other two T.C.A. men. as well as Deputy Fire Chief Jas.

"The Mill" was the subject of talks delivered at recent meetings of the Ho!‘linger Evening Classes, held in the Hollinger Hall, by John Blackâ€" shaw, of the Hollinger Mill staff. Atâ€" tended by Hollinger employeses, the meetings were under the chairmanâ€" ship of ITan M. Gordon, Assistant Mi}l Superintendent. Milling of Gold , _â€" Silver Explamed Mr. Blackshaw‘s talks covered varâ€" ious aspects of milling at Hollinger, including an outline of the various processes â€" through which ore must pass to extract the gold, and the method of extracting it. Gold and Silver The speaker expleined to the classes thst to extract gold and silver from the rock, the rock must first be reâ€" duced to a fine size. This is done in the crushing and grinding plants. where the rock is reduced in size from several feet to particles small enough to pass through a 35â€"mesh screen with 1,225 openings to the squars imch. Threeâ€"fifths of the sand will pass through a 200â€"mesh screen. which has 40,000 openings to the square inch. After grinding, the minerals are reâ€" moved as a concentrate by shaking tables and then ground to a still finer size. The grinding is done in a cyanide solution which reacts with fine parâ€" ticles of gold to form a goldâ€"cyanic» compound in the presence of air. This compound is soluble in water and cyanide â€" solution, and looks like water. $ to be back in Canada." Group inâ€" cludes: Cpl. J. . Vanier, Mrs. EBVERY â€"â€"S.N.8.

A Factâ€"Finding Dept At Hollinger Mines "Because rising costs and a fixed selling price for gold have resulted in Hollinger management facing the reâ€" sponcibility for greatly increasing effiâ€" ciency, time studies of the operations have boen instituted," said J. W. Thomson at recent meetings of the Hollinger Evening classes. Mr. Thomson, Superintenent of Hcllingers Production â€" Engineering Department, was discussing with the classes the role of the Department and the purpose and methods of time study work in the mine. "The production Engineering Deâ€". partment if a factâ€"finding departâ€". ment," continued Mr. Thomson. "While the surveyors find out how much ore and waste is broken, the Cost Department determines the cost of labor and materials in doing difâ€" ferent jobs. Linking Up Facts The Geological Department finds out where the gold is, and in what quantity, the Production Engineering Department determines the time and effort spent in doing all types of jocbs under all sorts of conditions. Timeâ€"study men are impartial factâ€" finders, and are n the job to record fzcts as they occur." Mr. Thomson went on to explain that facts. alone and by themselves, are of liatle use. They must be conâ€" nected with other facts, and part of the work of production engineering is t aossemble the facts, analyse them and connect them up in a logical and useful manner. Fred doesn‘t know who his father is. His mother now lives with an Indian. She «married the Indian, Blackie. Mrs. F. had another child, part Indian. Blackie would not work.

Would Timmins Arena Mean Lost $ To "Mac‘ BY DOUG McLELLAN _The local consensus of opinion conâ€" cerning the new zsrena and auditorium to be built in Timmiis seems. to be that an Arena in Timmins would be a drastic financial slap to the McIntyre. At first glance you cen‘t be blamed for thinking such, but the idea is a long way off the track. Starting with tde retenue the ‘"Mac" would gain from daily hockey practices, the overâ€" theâ€"year totasl would be the same. _ Fewer Teams True enough, there would be fewer terâ€"ms making the Mac their home but these fewer teams would be very glad to pay for the extra time they would receive as there would not be the congested practice periods that are now in existence. . The usual length of a practice at the Mcintyre now if 45 minutes, hardâ€" enough time to get a sweat on. Each team would be only too glad to have an hour and a half on the ice; and,. of course, each would pay the difference in the time. You can easily see that cutting down on the teams on the Mac would mean the same finanâ€" cial returns, and everyone happier over the longer practices. You may think that arink in Timâ€" Council Meeting J. J. Murphy, chairman of the Local Welfare Committee, gave his account of the work done by that Committee. large quantity of Cod Liver Oil has been purchased and given to several families.

You ~have to be diedâ€"inâ€"theâ€"wool hockey fan to get out on these cold winter â€"nights and trek all the way cver to the McIntyre. Hockey Lovers The people that go to the games now from Timmins don‘t go for some« thing to do. They love hockey. These people can be counted on as regular customers at the Mac should they build a rink in Timmins. Think of what an zrena in Timmins would do for the people that at pr esent are not hockey fans? You wouldn‘t have to. be a rabid fan to walk downtown and go to a hockey game if there were an arena in Timmins. It would be just someâ€" where to go. These lukeâ€"warm fans would go to a game in Timmins but not awsy over to the Mcintyre. Once they do see a game in the Timmins Arena, the teams would take care of the reft. The fans become wrapped up in the gameâ€" and the first thing you know you find him beside you on the bus going to the next game at the Mcintyre.
