AJAX DIRECTOR CONVERTS PLANT SHELLS TO BRAINS Pet Project In Vast Scheme Is Hart House, Ajax , How would you feel appointed head of a4 brand-new university, so few, in fact, only 428 acres of sprawling farm land and III war $ime buildings laid out for filling shells? That's the physical setup, snd on top of it you're promised $400 first-year engineering students four months, Would you tackle the job? That was the proposition put to James Royden Gilley, B.ASc., one year ago. Dr Sidney Smith, presi- dent of the University of Toronto, asked the tall, urbare Hart House executive (18 years comptroller, five years acting warden) to become di- rector of the University's Ajax Di- vision, Gilley thought about the immensity of such a seven-day-a- week job, about transplanting his comfortable North Toronto home 20-odd miles eastward to a wartime village on Lake Ontario. He realiz- ed it meant sending his two child- ren off to boarding school, turning the whole family life upside down. But Gilley sald he'd try. : A few weeks ago Dr, Smith and his Ajax director tramped over the converted Defence Industries Ltd. nt for four and one-half hours, ey tried to take an objective view of what had Been accomplish- ed, but their enthusiasm would scarcely permit it. On this annivers. ary of their acceptance of the chal- lenge they could perhaps be pardon- ed a little pride in the light of pchievement. At the end of his first Ajax year, Director Gilley has turned two of DLL's mile-long shell-filling lines fnto the job of brain filling under Professor W. J. T. Wright, director studies, so successfully that a new low in final examination failure rates was established, The acade- mic head of Ajax was able to report only 132% fallures in contrast to the 26% pre-war average for first- year engineering on Varsity's To- ronto campus, Between last September and January 14, 1946, shell-filling build- ings had been decontaminated, re- vamped and equipped to handle a full first-year course for the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Bixteen residences were prepared 1,186 students living in. Transpor- tation, food service, hospital, lib- rary, police and fire protection, wa- ter suply and central heating--ev- erything to make life at Ajax self- 'sufficient and full--were provided. And by last August a staff of more than 500 under Gilley and his chief associates--Deputy Bursar G. L. Court, and Deputy Superintendent J. Shortreed--had done the biggest 1 year's work in their lives, The director's own pet project in ' the vast scheme is Hart House Ajax, To thousands of pre-war Varsity gen, the grey Gothic recreation cen- tre just off Queen's Park Crescent on the Toronto campus is still a symbol of the full university life. To Gilley's heart, this focal point of his life for the last 23 years is par- ticularly dear. So his biggest thrill in showing off Ajax to a visitor . It's not grey stone, and 'its not Gothic, but ine side it duplicates traditional Hart House Toronto activities. There's a music room, the art gallery, a browsing library and & chapel, pho- tographic rooms, chess and bowling .even a barbershop and shops where shoes are repaired, clothes cleaned and pressed. The only things lacking are Varsity's swim ming pool and the Memorial tower carillon, Today Gilley and his men are fac- ing up to the job of doubling Ajax. The new university opens Sept. 25 with an enrolment of 3,000 and 2,- 200 students in residence. First and second years of the engineering course will be completed there this 1046-47 session.--Financial Post. Orders Restitution 'On Forgery Count Pleading guilty before Magistrate ,. 8.

TRANSPORT GROUP HAS FINE RECORD Safety Record of Five Mil- "lion Miles Per Fatal Accident In 44 months of arduous and exs acting flying under all weather conditions, Canadian-based aircraft of 9 (Transport) Group have ach- feved a safety record of 5,000,000 miles per fatal accident, R.CAF. Headquarters pointed out today. 'This is the equivalent of 200 flights around the earth at the equator for for each crash such as that at Es- tevan, Sask., Sunday, September 15. Included is the performance of 164 Squadron, based at Moncton, N.B., which flew day and night through sub-Arctic winters to sup- ply important wartime air bases in Labrador and Newfoundland; that of 168, the famous R.CAF, mail ssuadron which made more than 600 Atlantic crossings to carry let- ters to Canadians in the front lines in Italy and Holland; and that of No. 1 Air Supply Till, Thich plo- neered the use of large thansport aircraft in Arctic winter operations by keeping Exercise Muskox sup- | plied with food and fuel, Dakotas of the type which crash- ed at Estevan have earned a splen- did reputation for safety and relia- bility and are used extensively by civil airlines. For upwards of 85,000 flying hours, there had been only three fatal accidents to Dakotas in Canada. Known as "the workhorses" of Tranport Command, Dakotas were used during the war by every Allied air force in every theatre of opera- tions. Unarmed, they flew para- troopers and towed gliders carrying other airborne troops to front-line positions in Burma and in Holland, braving flak and enemy fighters; they dropped supplies to beleaguer- ed detachments at Arnhem; and struggled through monsoon wea- ther over the "hump" of the Hima- layas. When the three RCAF transport | Smadtons (Clinthe, Elephant and Husky) returned to Canada via Scotland, Iceland and Newfound. land, they encountered the worst meteorological conditions over the North Atlantic in years, but made a record of safety in flying. Not one alr aircraft or life was lost. Grace Lutheran Has Anniversary The anniversary of Grace Luther- an Church was marked this week as special services were held on Sun- day and Wednesday. The services Sunday were well attended and the speakers were Rev, H Erdman of Kitchener, Rev. W. Rathke of 8t, Catharines and Rev. Roy Knoll of Kitchener.

On Wednesday evening many ate tended a special youth service held in the church. A musical program was arranged by the Walther League and refreshments served.
