' PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG THURSDAY, MAY, 20, 1930. STARTING WORK AT ONCE THE CUTLERY PLANT WILL BE PUSHED WITH VIGOR And it is Expected it Will Be Turn- ing Out the Finished Article With- in the Next Three Months, With the by-law dealing with the new cutlery industry. passed, C. A. "Eaton, head of the new enterprise, bas lost not a minute in getting ope- rations under way. Thursday morn- ing found him on deck at the plant with the work of clearing out the buildings well started. Mr. Eaton ex- 8 that the business of clearing t the old machinery and remodell- ing' the plant to suit the requirements of the new industry will be complet- ed In one month's time. There is a considerable quantity of machinery * and other equipment left by former occupants which must be salvaged and, in addition to that, much plumb- ing, wiring, and installation ef win- . dows to provide §ufficient light will be necessary. . Mr. Eaton is well-known through- out Eastern Canada, as the result of his extensive business operations during the first three years of the 'war. He bullt and operated for one year the Shrapnel loading plant at Renfrew, re-organized and managed the six-inch shell plant of the Peter- boro Metal Products Company at Peterboro, and constructed and sup- ervised the work of the munitions and metal products company's plant in Montreal East. He left this firm in March, 1918, to accept a commis- sion in the U.S. army with the rank ,0f major, on the technical staff of the Ordnance Department. Immedi- ately after the dfgning of the armi- stice in November, 1918, Mr. Eaton resigned his commission. Since then, until he began the organization of this new enterprise in Kingston, he organized and acted as works' man- ager for the John Russell Cutlery Company of Massachusetts. Speaking of his selection of this 'eity as the location for his new Plant, Mr. Eaton stated that he had studied conditions in more than a Half dozen cities of this size and had decided that Kingston was the most favourable for the reception of his business, both from the standpoint of the attitude of the people and the inducements offered by the city au- thorities. The only thing which does not please him at the present time is the fact that it will be very diffi- cult to secure laborers from outside, should the supply in the city at the present time fall short of his needs. He stated that the scarcity of houses and the high rents were even worse in Kingston than in cities of a simi- lar size whose growth was much more rapid. As he expects to em- Ploy more than 200 people, Mr. Ea- ton has every reason to complain on this point. Howemar, eonditions will very likely improve as the result of the by-law regarding the erection of ~ dwelling houses, which was also car- ried yesterday. The officers of the new company : have not yet been chosen as the or- ganization and Incorporation process is not yet complete. In any case, Mr. Baton will be .general manager, E. Friendship, of Péterboro, will 'as- Sume the duties of master mechanic, ~ It is also almost certain that William Clarke, of Hamilton, will be produc- tion superintendent. The company is capitalized at $50,000 to start with. After the first month necessary for alterations, the factory will be "Occupled for about two months in making tools and equipment for the manufacture of cutlery. Therefore the manufacture of the article itself will begin in about three months. For the first two years the factory will turn out pocket cutlery exclu- sively, as Mr. Eaton does not think the.present quarters nearly large en- ough for anything else. After that time, or probably before, the plant will be enlarged, if all goes well, and a complete line of cutlery pro- duced. In anticipation of the passing Of the by-law Mr, Eaton had already Tecelved large eonsignments of ma- chinery and more large shipments are on the way. The new industry is bound to. prosper, particularly with Mr. Eaton at its head, and consider- ing the fact that it is the only one of its kind in Canada. . Wrong Price Quoted.

PRINCIPAL TAYLOR HOME ATTENDED UNIVERSITIES' CON- FERENCE IN QUEBEC. He Favored Toronto Scheme of Dividing Medical Course--Urged Another Attempt at Securing Gov. ernment Help for Students. One six-year course in medicine and asistance for soldier students were the two main pomts of dis- cussion, at the conference of Cana- dian universities, held in Quebec this week, which was atiended by Principal Taylor, Dean Skelton, and Dean Clark, of Queen's University. Principal Taylor, who arrived home success of the conference. Two proposals to change.the six- year medical course were offered, The Toronto plan, outlined by Pro- fessor McLeod, divided the medic)! course into two periods of three years each. With an entrance re- quirements of honor matriculation, the first perlod would be spent in scientific and cultural work. If, at the end of that period, a student felt he was not suited for a practioner, he could attain the degree of B.Sc. The McGill plan, requiring only junior matriculation for entrance to the medical faculty, was opposed to the six-year course. - This proposal required two-years pre-medical work in 'the arts faculty, then four years' work in medicine with an extra year's interne work in hospital. Prineipal Taylor favored the Toronto plan, which enables a student to change his course at the end of the first period. Assistance 'for soldier students pro- voked much discussion. Sir Robert Falconer, of Toronto University, gave, a report. of the work already done and explained the government's re- fusal to aid the students because of the cry 'class legislation." Principal Taylor urged another at- tempt to secure government as- sistance for students whose work had been interrupted by the war. General Gwatkin and 'General MacNaughton appeared before the conference on the second day and ex- plained the government's proposal for officers training courses in the universities. The government a' its own expense offered to erect armour- ies at the university. Students taking the O.T.C. would have the rank of provisional lleutenants, appear in uniform and he paid for their work the military training would be taken during the regular college hours, and be a part of the college course, Stu- dents, moreover, would follow their own line of wolk. Medical students would study course in military medi- cal work and science students would. follow military engineering. Principal Taylor in discussing this question pointed out that if the gov- ernment wished to make.a success of this O.T.C. work, it must do more for the returned students. Men who were fed with military drill and who had a grievance against the government could not be expected to fall in read- ily with these new plans. The scheme, he continued, would not be a success until a new generation of students appeared u#liess the government rec- tified the soldiers' grievances.
