Opens New Office B New Pocket - Size Code For Home Builders Brings Regulations Up to Date Company Has Earned Esteem In Oshawa This afternoon the new office building of McCallum Transport Limited, 26 Ritson Road N., will be officially opened. The erection of this new building marks another milestone in the outstanding prog- ress of this company in Oshawa. The president of the company, Frank McCallum, a brother of To- ronto's Mayor McCallum, has prov- en that the days of opportunity are still with us. Born in 1902, Mr. Mc- Callum sold papers after school and came up the hard way right from the start. He was a natural athlete and became an outstanding baseball player in his early teens, Too young to serve in World War > I he went west with his father and farmed for several years in south- ern Alberta, However, when the drought hit southern Alberta, he went to work with a pick-and-shovel gang and later worked running survey lines for a construction gang. Coming back to Toronto at a later date he played ball on a Toronto ball team which later won the provincial championship. In 1928 he came to Oshawa to work in General Motors and for sometime took a leading part in organizing baseball and other sports in this city. At the height of the depression Mr, McCallum having an abundance of faith in the future of Oshawa and Canada, started his own busi- ness in Oshawa and today operates one of today's largest automobile transport firms in the province.

Main events of the Festival will be the Central Exhibition ip London and Exhibition of Science, Arch- itecture and Books, also in London: the Industrial Power Exhibition in Glasgow: the Farm and Factory Exhibition in Belfast and other ex- hibitions and' arts festivals through- out the country. | useful "A Code for Dwelling Con- | struction" for buildings housing one or two families has now been released by the Associate Com- mittee on the National Building Code of the National Research Council of Canada. This pockei-size booklet of 78 pages is an abridgment of the National Building Code issued in 1941 and is concerned only with regulations for residential cbn- struction, Strides have also been made to- ward bringing the National Build- ing Code up to date. Revisions are necessary to provide for de- velopments of the past 10 'ears and to increase the scope of the Code, thus making it an even more guide to good minimum standards for building. A completely new arrangement for the Code has been adopted which promises to reduce the bulk ok.the document and at the same time increase the 'clarity of the regulations and the ease with which the document may be used. There will be eight major divi- sions in the new Code and each section will be prepared by a sep- arate technical sub-committee of the Associate Committee on the National Building Code. Chairmen for each of these tech- nical sub-committees have been selected and it is expected that the major work of revision will be completed this year. Drafts of the various sections of the new Code will be circulated to all groups and individuals in Canada who have interest in their content. Criticism and suggestions for im- provement will be welcomed. Publications Avalable The staff of the Division of Building research of the National Research Council is assisting the Associate Committee on the National Building Code in its work. The Division operates a special library of building technology which is available for contulation by all branches of the construction in- dustry. An information and inquiry the increasing number of requests for . specific information regarding building materials and building practice. Publications of the Division are now available on request. During the past year the Divi- sion of Building - Research has carrieu out a number of fruitful investigations. A party, formed jointly with the Canadian Army, traveled down the MacKenzie River from Great Slave to Aklavik to re- cord the' performance of buildings constructed on perma frost. The performance of masonry buildings in the four Maritime provinces has suggested many problems for study. To obtain re- liable data as a basis for a research program, an intensive field investi- gation of representative buildings has been completed. Two members of the staff spent the summer months studying the foundation problems created by the Winnipeg flood and its %ffect on buildings. Research in connected with con- struction operations was continued, the most important being that on the subway work in Toronto where much information of value in de- section has been established to fill | sign and construction is being ob- tained. Wall Construction Tests Eight test huts have been erected in Ottawa, one in Churchill and six in Saskatoon for the testing of a variety of wall constructions. One hut at each. of Ottawa and Saskatoon is identical to the- hut at Churchill for correlation of climatic effects. At Saskatoon various frame constructions are be- ing examined while at awa masonry construction is being in- vestigated In addition, at Saskatoon a fully- controlled test chamber has been put into operation in which it will be possible to test composite wall sections seven and one-half feet square to determine heat and moisture flow through the walls. A good start has been made in assessing the need for fire research in Canada and in becoming ac- quainted with existing fire research facilities. There is a vast amount of work to be done and the Divi- sion looks forward to developing its program in this direction as rapidly as possible. Chinese ir migration to Canada was encouraged up to 1885 because of the demand for labor to build railways. Magazine Has To | Pay. for Using Writer's Ideas Toronto, March 17--(CP)--Judge Samuel Factor yesterday ordered Maclean's Magazine to pay Lyman B. Jackes of Toronto $75 and court costs, after finding that a 250-word article in the Feb, 1 issue used "basic ideas" copyrighted by Mr, Jackes, Suing for $250, Mr. Jackes charged "plagiarism, infringement of copyright, unauthorized publica~ tion and theft of original material" in a "Canadianecdote" article en- titled "How Wolfe Got the Inside Dope." The Judge ruled the magazine should pay Mr. Jackes as a mafter of "equity and good conscience." Mr. Jackes said the article bore similarities to one by him published in 1931, which told how a British spy got in and out of French-held Quebec in 1758.
