DeMille Production FREDRIC MARCH "THE BUCCANEER" with FRANCISKA GAAL Out of history's blazing pages comes this mighty story of courageous love! "THE TEXANS" JOAN BENNETT and RANDOLPH SCOTT Retired Operator Flashed News of Peary's Voyage Halifax, NS. (CP) -- Gordon Spracklin, 65-year-old telegrapher, has sent his last message in a car- eer lasting half a century. When the Newfoundland - born Spracklin finished punching his last message on the keyboard of a Canadian National Telegraphs automatic teleprinter recently, he timed off a career during which he filed enough words to fill many books. One of those messages was the flash that Peary had discovered the North Pole. . Starting with the Reid Newfound- land Railway in 1900, Spracklin grew up with wireless telegraphy and reached his prime as an oper- ator when the Morse sounder was in full use. He finished at a time when the telegraph key is in the decline. Relayed World News High point of his career came when he was the one-man Marconi station at Battle Harbor, Labrador. On Sept. 8, 1009, he relayed from the station at Indian Harbor, fur- ther north, the biggest news story since the beginning of the'century. Commander Robert Edwin Peary was on his way home after a sec- ond and successful attempt to reach the North Pole. When the intrepid navigator sail ed his ship Roosevelt. into Battle Harbor, the event brought newspa- per men flocking to the little out- post. John W. Regan got there first for the Associated Press. For two weeks, Spracklin recalls, he pounded out news copy. He was soybusy he couldn't keep a luncheon date with the famous explorer. Spracklin, who has seen a lot of men come and go, remembers that even Peary made errors of judge ment. Peary carried no wireless on his ship--he "had no faith in it." Spracklin's life reads like an ad- venture story. From his start with the Reid railway at his home town of Brigus, Nfld, he moved to the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Come pany at Cape Ray. Then he worke ed at Battle Harbor and other lone ly spots, including Sable Island, graveyard of the Atlantic. He looked after his father's fishing business in Labrador for a few years and then sailed to Russia. After that came a hitch with the Western Union at North Sydney, N.S., before joining the C.N.T. Now, he wishes he had gone to sea when he was a young fellow. "I feel like a fish out of water," he says. Ontario Iron Mine Uses : Dredge to Bare Ore Deposit Atikonan, Ont, -- (CP). -- En- gineers have hauled a 900-ton, sea- going dredge 1,000 miles overland and 700 miles by water to uncover a vast body of iron ore at the bottom of Steep Rock Lake. The project is unique in Cana- dian mining. The dredge Nebraska was moved in sections from Boston, Mass. t0 Steep Rock M'ne near this north- western Ontario town. It was re- welded in a -drydock improvised on a rock-shelf near the bottom of a low spot in now-dry Steep Rock Lake. The dredge was floated recently by allowing this part of the lake to refill. And now the Nebraska has start- ¢éd the three-year job or stripping 55,000,000 cubic yards of lake and river silt which covers the valuable Hokarth iron-ore deposit. That ore is known to stretch 4,000 yards. It is 350 yards wide and 900 feet or more deep. Briefly, the dredge will lift 50 feet of silt from an area of one square mile; lift it 160 to 400 feet; and push it 2,000 feet so that it can spread harmlessly over barren mus- keg country. Huge Operation Each minute between now and April, 1054, the dredge will move 30 cubic yards of silt--1,300,000 cubis yards a month. And engineers at Steep Rock say that is more than could be handled by 200 20-ton dump trucks (if they could do the job at all. The dredging operation was cone ceived by M. 8. Fotheringham, en~ gineer in charge of Steep Rock Mine from its inception and now the company's president. Project Feasible Despite the cost of dredging the lake bottom, the project is feasible because of the tonnage of ore that will be made available, The target is for Steep Rock e to ship some 11,000,000 tons of ore a year to Port Arthur at the lakehead, and hence to Canadian and United States smelters. Present production rate is about 1,200,000 tons a year. The objective fou: years from now is 4,000,000 tons, and seven years from now 10,000,000 tons. At. present prices, that 10,000,000 tons of Canadian ore will sell for $90,000,000 annually. Steep Rock engineers claim that known and probable ore reserves of 72,000,000 tons ultimately will increase to hundreds of millions of tcns of high-grade ore as explor- ation is completed. Facts, Inc., Lives on Questions Pierre Marquis thrives on ignor- ance--other people's, Stephen K. Galpin writes in the Wall Street Journal, In the last 14 months, starting with $1,500 original capital, he's built up a $250,000 a year business because people don't know such things as: New York cash price of nian camel's hair. The 1940 dollar volume of Rus- sia's hog bristle manufacture, and; The U.S. horse population today compared with 1900. (The answers, respectively, 40 cents to $1.60 a pound; $600,000; 13,537,534 and 6,607,000.) Young Lawyer Mr, Marquis, a 28-year-old law- yer, is president of the fast-grow- ing New York City company called Facts, Inc. The company special- izes in telling people what they don't know, at the rate of some 500 questions and answers a day. Facts, Inc, caters to individuals and companies alike, for a - fee. Right now, Mr. Marquis' outfit is enlightening about 3,250 individ- uals, at $15 a year each, and some 500 business firms, at $150 a year each, For their fees they can ask an unl'mited number of questions, providing that getting the answers d 't take more than an hour apiece, For answers to abstruse questions requiring longer research, there's an extra charge. In the last year Facts has an- swered scme 250,000 questions and, Mr, Marquis conceded shyly, failed to answer another 100 to which answers were theoretically possible. Mr. Marquis says his company will answer, or try to answer, any ques- tion subscribers want to ask unless they're seeking advice cn law, medicine or taxes. Beer and Liquor But if you want to know how | much Americans spent last year on beer and liquor, Facts will answer: $4,500 million on each. Mr. Marquis founded Facts on September 19, 1049, after return- ing to this country from France, where he worked for an export- import house. The idea of Facts, originally called Facts' on Dial, came from a Franch company call- RR a ed "Sl Vous Plait," which per- forms the same services as Facts but on a broader scale. SVP, for example, will not only tell you the number of square miles in Pushe toonistan but will also get you hotel reservations there if you want them. Facts doesn't deal in any thing but facts. Facts finds books a useful source of information, Mr. Marquis says, but the company's own files are even more useful. Whenever it takes more than three to five min- utes for a Facts researcher to answer a question, he writes down the question and the answer, when he does get it, on a card and files it. The 22 Facts researchers are currently filing some 2,000 of the cards a week. Likes His Job "Answering questions is a fascle nating business," Mr. Marquis exe claims, "because it keeps you abreast of what people are thinking about," For example, he recalls, last summer questions about Korea were most popular. But now the trend has changed. The most popu~ lar queries today are about color television and General Eisenhower, A few weeks ago Facts was called on to settle a dispute over how many toes a pig has per foot. The dispute arose on a radio quiz program, where a contestant was offered $11,500 for answering core rectly. He answered "two" and was declared wrong. A pig has three, declared the quizmaster. Disgruntled, the contestant went home, looked it up in a dictionary, and threatened to sue the quiz pro- gram sponsors when he found the dictionary agreed with him. Facts, called in by the sponsor, disclosed that a pig has two functional toes and one that is non-functional. "Did you look at a pig to find out?" Mr, Marquis was asked. "No," 'he replied. "It's easier for us to find out by telephone."
