Despite the difficulties caused by workmen applying the finishing volume of work was produced on the first day of operations with lino, tile asphalt, terrazzo, wood and finish cement, the brick- faced building is trimmed with limestone and black marble. The new Workmen's Compensa- tion Board building has one of the odern type 'prior call express" elevator systems, only two of which have been installed in Can- ada to date. A fully automatic telephone switchboard facilitates the handling of many hundreds of calls daily.

CAFETERIA SEATS 264 A fully equipped cafeteria locat- ed on the ground floor, designed to seat 264, provides hot meals for employees and can also be used as an auditorium, Accident prevention and safety associations organized under Sec- tion 115 of the Workmen's Com- pensation Act, will be housed in the new building. As Ontario's industrial expan- sion continues, and coverage under the Act is extended, it is expected that claims handled by the Board will increase in number. The de- sign of the new building, erected by the Department of Public Works and bought from the Government with Board funds, has anticipated this increase, and can be enlarged to include two additional stories. CHIEF AT CORONATION VANCOUVER (CP)--Chief wWil- liam Scow, official representative of British Columbia Indians to the Coronation, received confirmation Wednesday of his seat in West- minster Abbey.

MOVED FIVE TIMES In the past 38 years, since the Workmen"s Compensation Act came into being, the Board had to move its offices five times, with- out once having sufficient space. During the last six years the con- stantly increasing volume of work handled by the Board as a result of Ontario's unprecedent industrial expansion necessitated moving some administrative divisions of the WCB to a building several city blocks away from the main opera- tion. As early as 1944, Board mem- bers discussed the pressing need for a building with Hon. Chalres Daley, Minister of Labor, who rep- resents the Board in matters to be dealt with by the legislature or by the executive council of the Government. As a result, the Government and the Board agreed that the time was approaching rapidly when a functionally - de- signed building should be construct- ed to house the Board under one roof and to meet the rapid growth of industry. Mr. Daley and Board members studied many locations before choosing the present site. The Workmen"s Compensation Act was then amendéd by the Govern- ment to allow the Board to pur- chase its*own land and buildings outright. In November, 1951, Mr. Daley laid the cornerstone for the new building, at which fime he said: ee LLL LE LTT Troy r-- SENHA AARAOSRABS ARR FICE BUGS RANE NATROL SUSAR EHS BENE ROLLS OFF ASSEMBLY LINE AT NEW FORD PLANT hicle at Ford of Canada's new | vice president and general man- Presiden Bis.

On a 62-mile test run in city traffic, one driver, by carefully the flow of traffic and the petting of traffic lights, showed a 85 per cent gain in fuel economy over a driver who stayed out in front of the traffic, and the really eareful driver took only three more minutes to make the run. On a 165-mile open country run, # was found that savings of one gallon or more out of every four eould be made simply by driving $0 miles an hour instead of 70. Driving on under-inflated tires as sompared with fully inflated tires showed that the former could cut gasoline mileage down as much as one mile a gallon. And, it was shown that on those cars with regular gear shifts maximum fuel economy could be echieved when the gears were changed quickly rather than building up much speed before the shift. For example, low gear at 20 miles an hour gives 35. per cent Bess fuel economy than high gear ot the same speed.

Canadians In Germany Doing Battle Training OTTAWA (CP)--More than 4,000 troops of the 27th Canadian in- fantry brigade group in Germany have moved into the Solteau train- ing area of.central Germany for intensive training under canvas, the army reported today. The exercise will be the longest and largest in the brigade's train- ing program for 1953. For three weeks the scheme will be on bat- talion or lower levels. The fourth week will see all elements of the brigade in mock battle with the British 7th armored brigade. The brigade is expected to return to its base at Hannover on May 23.
