He spoke on “Chest Diseases," giving a brief histOry on the founder of X- Rz-y, Whilhelm'Conrad Roentgen. Mr. Roentgen, he said. was born in Lennep (Rhenish Russian) in 1845. It was Mr. Roentgen who discovered a hitherto unknown type of zadiant energy which would penetrate solid matter. Rhé‘niSh Russian ‘Found’ ‘ X-Rays, says Dr. Taylor He therefore designated the rays as X-Rays, the speaker explained. a term by- which they have since been known. The; speaker showed samples of cit-est X-Rayis-â€"-cases of silicosis, can- cer and heart conditions, with the as- sistance of G. E. Roseborough. Mr. Roentgen put service for the good of mankind above self Dr. Tay~ 1m concluded. Among the .guests present at the meeting were the following: J. A. Smith. Hamilton; W. Sandilands, North Bay: S. M.

Prior to 1949 there was no unemployment since 1941. 1949 was the first year when the employment office was full of men. That is one angle. Another angle is that any money given to an employable person, the town ‘has to .pay.‘ The provincial government does not pay any portion of ‘it. Why must the town pay, if he is empioyable? _ Mr. Reid: Well, he is out of a job. E Helhas ten kids. There were hundreds Eot‘ them at the enmloyment office %last winter. - No insurance. No Emoney. No nothing. He has to be ggiven something. But simply because 'he was out of a job, that dOes not Emean we gave him reliefâ€"by a long shot. And other angle is that the cost of living went up. We increased the "amount of relief to the individual. I I don‘t know if it was in line with the gcost of living; but that was: the trend. i anyhow.

At Least One Mine Here - What Mine? At Least One Mine It was suggested that at least one mine in the Tfinmins camp' is paying the men in their emploxflfwho do com~ parable work, somewhat higher rates. This was not disputed, but unfortum :itely for the board the reasons why this can. and is being, done were not fully developed. Apart from} this one mine weth'mk it Can be assumed from what we have QWI'e us that the wages paid to the Electrical workers of the Hollinger. Mine compares. favour-any with those paid by other mines in the same camp. The answer of the Company to the Union demands is t5 the effect that while thé rates of pay” for the men involved may be lower than those dri- ing comparable work in other indus; tries. the emolpyment of these meri' is; continuous ham year to year and; is‘ not affected by business conditions; The Company also contends that the men receive and have réceived {fir some years certain other benefits v hich are. it is contendéd superior to those granted by many other employ; ‘eI‘s (Excerpt from Hollinger magnum”. men: news ‘étter, signed by A.
