conversation with a former townsman public school inspector archie stouffer who informed us that his spacious house in minden is heated with sawdust fuel only mr stouffer finds it ideal fuel for his equip ment but explained that one needs ample storage since it is bulky however up at minden sawdust is an unwanted item had for drawing away and as a result persons who have facilities to use it as fuel may be considered most fortunate it was tried for heating in the ratcliff store at one time but owing to bulk and the need for constant fueling was discontinued now comes another use for the biproduct of the saw and planing mills its the sawdust house this country long was known for its waste in lumber produc tion but in recent years that con dition rias existed side by side with a tremendous housing shortage it is reported that last year saw around the big mills and may be an increased use of waste products by large mills and that increasing utilization of sawmill waste was a notable development in the man ufacture of fibreboards floor covering plastic and specially treated products now there comes upon the scene a brooklyn inventor who asserts that he has developed a process for building houses out of sawdust donald f othmer of brooklyn polytechnic institutes chemical engineering department told an international conference of wall- board makers at harvard univers ity that he can convert sawdust and shavings into first quality new wood declaring that fabrication of wallboards by his process began last week in london england he said the secret of his woodmaking was a cheap readily- available chemical without naming the substance he said a small amount of it is mixed with dry wood waste and the mixture then placed in a hydraulic press which can make 10 to 20 boards at a time in a matter of from 10 to 20 minutes the boards are formed and dis charged to cool he said asserting that 2000 square feet of wallboard can be made from a ton of sawdust and shavings he interpreted this as meaning that some 40000000000 square feet of building materials could be pro duced each year from americas lumber production waste alone he cited one big process the shaped and desired form advantage for sawdust can molded into and almost the be any any desired size and thickness thus prefabricated walls ceilings floor and roofs for factorybuilt houses are possible boost

enthusiasm when she recalls her travels and has nothing but praise for the teachers exchange system which enabled her to go miss chapman is a daughter of mr and mrs e l chapman of pickering twp she formerly taught in one of the townships rural schools but of more recent years in toronto she feels strongly that her per sonal experiences applied to litera ture and english history will assist her pupils in their studies away for over a year miss chap man taught at greenford middle sex and lived at the league of empire hostel in central london the hostel is a residence for teachers from all parts of the empire and there she met and exchanged ideas with australians new zealanders and south africans she found that it took her a full hour on the underground to get to school every morning but she enoyed the proximity to the west end where most of the theatres and concert halls are located one of miss chapmans most cherished memories is of a garden party at lambeth palace for american and empire teachers at which she was presented to the queen we learned afterwards that the garden party had been the queens own suggestion she said it was a perfect summer day and we were all announced and presented individually and then later when we were sitting having tea the queen came and chatted inform ally with us she was wearing the soft blue dress she had worn the day before for the royal garden party at buckingham palace and she looked beautiful somebody asked if we might take snapshots and she replied why certainly its a beautiful day for photo graphy she posed naturally for a picture and then asked for the archbishop of canterbury we must have one with him in it and once again came a rapidfire of clicking shutters another close contact with the royal family was at ascot where miss chapman saw the king and queen and the princesses with their entourage in the royal enclosure congratulating the joc key who had ridden the kings horse to victory the men in faultless suits with their grey top hats and the elegant ly dressed women made a brave and colorful show i shall never forget miss chapman continued a picture of quality and dignity tour of continent her trip to the continent took the traveller to paris nice monte carlo and other places of breath taking beauty in the french and italian rivierasshe visited genoa where she found the accent was on the gen and not as frequently heard on the o on to pisa where she climbed the leaning tower you can feel the lean on the low side particularly as you go up to rome on easter sunday to mill with the throng in st peters square and on to naples and pompeii it was from here that she set out to trek to the top of mount vesu- vius ill never attempt that again as long as i live she sighed the last part of the railway track that winds up the side of the volcano was destroyed by the eruption of 19m so we had to make our way on foot a scorching sun beat down on us and it took us 75 minutes to pick our way steeply uphill over a bed of cinders stones and rocks arriving at the top we could look down into the crater where the hardening lava looked like a frozen lake our guide told us that minor landslides occurred frequently around the rim of the crater two english soldiers had recently lost their lives in this manner and his had been the unpleasant task of bringing their bodies up from the crater wearing a gas mask against the fumes he had been lowered by ropes about 20 feet according to miss chapman capri is an enchanted isle of flowers and foliage bathed in sun shine and lapped by the mediter ranean she visited the famous blue grotto an underwater cave accessible only by boat at low tide through a hole in the rock the reflected light of the white ocean bed turns the grotto into a fairy palace she said wonders of italy she stayed for a short time in florence to marvel at its art gall eries and museums then travelled on to venice she was enthralled by st marks cathedral with its gorgeous ceiling and figure of st mark in mosaic and gold which creates the illusion of following the beholder in any direction miss chapman expected to see brightly- hued gondolas plying the canals and was surprised to find that they were all painted black on enquiry she learned that the black finish was a constant mem- ororial to victims of a plague that struck venice mafrkham new wixtkk pouc1

nowadays it is only at fiesta time that the gondolas are decor ated and the gondoliers wear their picturesque costumes while in venice she visited the doges palace and crossed the bridge of sighs named for the unfortunates who crossed to their death or life imprisonment in milan she was disappointed to learn that da vincis immortal picture the last supper was no longer on view to the public as it was in a bad state of decay the cathedral came through the war practically unscathed but time is eating away at one of its priceless possessions two things impressed miss chap man about switzerland the first and foremost was the honesty of the people and the second was the view from the train of the floodlit churches and twinkling lights of the villages in the valleys obtaining a military permit miss chapman travelled for 20 hours through germany to get to amster dam what she saw of germany was a depressing sight little attempt has been made to clear away war wreckage and debris girders from the bombblasted bridge at cologne stick out at all angles like a fistful of matches and she noticed a bed still hang ing from a shell hole in the wall of a blitzed tenement building pisa cologne and plymouth were the most bombed cities of the war with coventry and hambourg close runnersup miss chapman said plymouth has healed the best pisa is patched up but cologne still has open wounds in the netherlands canadians are made most welcome and hailed as our liberators miss chap man observed she made a special trip to volendam and marken two small towns where the men women and children still
