Times-Gazette Staff Photo | G.M. Diesel Given | Another Big Job LONDON, Ont.--An order for 24 Diesel-electric 1 tives, to cost an estimated $4,800,000, has been placed with Genéral Motors Diesel, Ltd., London, by Canadian National Railways, it was announced yester- day. $200,000 PER UNIT It is one of the largest single orders ever received by the com- any,.a spokesman said. The GM fete] units cost roughly $200,000 each. . The order was part of a $9,500,000 CNR order for 50 Diesel engines and five air dump. cars from vari- ous firms. A Montreal announcement said the orders bring the total value of rolling stock now on order by the railway to almost $106,000,000- OTHER ORDERS The new orders are for 18, 1,600 horsepower Diesel road switchers to be built by the Montreal Loco- motive Works, Montreal; 24 1,500- horsepower units from GM Diesel; eight 1,200-horsepower units from Canadian Locomotive Co., Kings- ton; and five air dump cars from the Magor Car Corp., New York, for use on lines of the CNR-owned Grand Trunk Western Railroad in the United States. ROAD ENGINES? Although the Montreal announce. ment said the GM Diesel order was for road-switching locomotives, a company spokesman said he be- lieves it would be for main-line engi for p of freight trains. This, he felt, would also apply to the Montreal Locomotive Works order. The Canadian Locomotive Co. order, he said, probably was for road-switchers. Delivery dates for the GM units was not known, and may extend over a considerable period of time, the spokesman said. The company now is building units for several railways, includ- ing the CNR. GM turns out about 10 to 12 of them monthly at its plant on Oxford street at the city's eastern outskirts.

Oshawa"s Fire Department is being outfitted with two-way radios to speed up truck-hall cummunica- tion and give Oshawa better fire protection. Two trucks and the fire chief's car will carry the radios, which have a 20-mile range. One of the Cedar Dale trucks will have a radio so that firemen can call for reinforcements from headquarters if they meet with a fire too big for them to handle. The truck, which handles calls outside of Oshawa proper, will have the other radio because of un- cerjain telephone communication. ather than search for a tele- 2-Way Radio For Fire Department phone when they need reinforce- ments, the firemen will need only to pick up a speaker and make direct contact with the master re- ceiver at headquarters.

He'd been throwing those things away for no one ever wanted them wantdd. When he went to see her, it was Mrs. John Dove, 220 Court Street, who has an original and engrossing hobby. She puts ar- rangements of artificial flowers in bulbs of all sizes and mounts the ornament on a plaster base. They are much in demand by her friends and she intends to market them through a local store. 'I got the idea in an odd way about two years ago," explained Mrs. Dove. "One day I threw a large electric light bulb in the trash can. It broke. Then I tossed in some old flowers from a wed- ding veil. They landed right inside the bulb. The idea for ornaments Bulbs of novel size are particu- larly useful for her hobby. The PUC has furnished her with sev- lady knew what she ¢ eral. Friends gave her others and the dainty little decorations made from flash bulbs are particularly popular. One of Mrs. Dove's larger crea- tions is formed for a Christmas tree ornament with a smallilight in its base. The flowers she used are obtained at local stores. Every kind of flower has been used in arrangements. The flaming poinsettia, tulips, carnations, sweet peas and many others. It's an interesting hobby with endless possibilities. The smallest bulb she has used was from a car headlight. Difficult part of the job is to remove the base of the bulb without breaking the glass. Her hobby is completely original as far as Mrs. Dove is aware. British Woman Sails Atlantic Alone In Boat MIAMI, Fla.
