(CP)--A Cana- dian' colony is growing up at Tokoroa, fastest-growing town in New Zealand, where Canadians are teaching New Zealanders how to handle key jobs in the kraft pulp industry. : Tokoroa, a timber town in the centre of the North Island, owes its existence to the operations of New Zealand Forest Products, huge timber organization which has 176,000 acres of man-made forests in the district. The company makes wallboard and many other timber products and is now launching out into the paper industry. It has installed big mills for kraft pulp and paper at Tokoroa and they are on the point of beginning production. IMPORTED EXPERTS To set the industry under way it has imported experts from sev- eral countries to carry out the key jobs and train staff recruited -loc- ally. Workers come from several paper-making countries, including Australia, Britain and Scandinavia, but the largest number of experts has been recruited in Canada. The manager of the mill, D. L. Stacey, a New Zealander, spent 18 months examining mill operation at a huge kraft sulphate mill at Port Alberni, B.C., and the assist- ant mill manager, J. P. Turner, is a Canadian from the same Van- couver Island works. n New Zealand Canadians performing key jobs | at the mill include ffrey C. Norman, J. F. Sanders, W. F. de Boeck, K. E. J. Durocher, L. A. Durocher, E. J. Connerly and W. W. McLaughlin, all of Nanaimo, B.C., L. F. Read of Vancouver, W. Bigrigg of Port Alberni and W. Watson of Langley Prairie, B.C. The contract of the workers is four years, but the company hopes they will stay permanently. WARM WELCOME It has a novel reception scheme for its workers from abroad. All are provided with houses in the big housing estates it is building at Tokoroa, 144 miles from Auck- land. When they reach Auckland by ship or plane they are taken to a big furniture store in the city and select their own furniture from samples on display. The store's branch at Tokoroa moves the furniture into their house, and they arrive to find it ready for oc- cupation, complete with a week's provisions. The mill at Tokoroa is the first chemical pulp mill to operate in New Zealand. It is the start of a development which will offer many opportunit- ies to Canadians in the next few years, A vast project for harvest- ing the government's planted for- ests in the North Island is under way, with the government, New Zealand industry, and several big American firms taking a share in development. Geese Don't Know } What They Are Like By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (AP) -- Trouble with some silly geese has been diagnosed at last. The poor creat- ures may think (a) that they -are human beings, or (b) that human beings are geese. The National Georaphie has been looking into the goose situa- tion, and its report Monday is sur- prising indeed. It seems goslins are sp impres- sionable that the first thing seen or heard by them may be iden- tified forever after as one of their own species. . So if a human being quacks around a day-old gosling, that gos- ling may go through life convinced he and the human are from the same nest. This is known as imprinting, and is explained in the National Geo- graphic news release. Studying bird behavior, the Aus- trian naturalist, Konrad Lorenz, realized that most birds do not recognize their own spieces by in- stinct, but rather by some definite early contact, it says. "A newly hatched goose, for ex- ample, looks upward when it first sees the light of day. Anything that moves and then draws away in a certain manner will imprint the gosling, be it bird, beast, or human kind." Fortunately, the first thing seen by most geese is its ma or pa. Otherwise, things would come to a pretty pass. For once a goose is deluded, it is deluded for keeps. It ignores its own species, and later falls in love with members of the family to which it thinks it belongs. ARREST BY CANOE BARRIE (CP)--Police won ' a canoe race Friday and their prize was an arrest.

(Tuestf) Warn In-laws Keep Away COBOURG -- "I am going to bind you over to keep the peace for a period of one year and I am suggesting to your in-laws that they leave you alone," said Mag- istrate R. B. Baxter in finding Charles Finnie of Port Hope guilty of assaulting Relland Beebe of Oshawa. . The assault took place May 14 in Port Hope hall after a division court action involving Beebe and the accused. "Charles Finnie is no saint. He is quick tempered but if the in- laws would keep out of things as far as he and his wife are con- cerned, I think matters would be much smoother," added the magis- trate. Beebe, who is a brother-in-law of the accused, said that Finnie argued with him and his father after a division court case in Port Hope on May 14 and accused them of lying on the witness stand. Beebe said that Finnie struck him on the side of the neck. Charles Beebe, father of the 'Around The : | pect choir furnished good music, | complainant, corroboratd his evi- dence.

EARNED TRIP All are secondary school Cana- dian Army Cadets, chosen for the camp on their work in cadet corps during the school year. Nor- thern, eastern, central and west- ern Ontario are well represented on the group of youtsh which mov- ed into the army barracks on the shores of Lake Huron. The lads, ranging from 15 to 18 vears of age, started arriving at the camp Tuesday morning by train in the afternoon, and the re- mainder came in Wednesday. They will stay in camp until the end of their course Agust 18. Although they will get a healthy taste of army life, main idea be- hind the summer training is to give them the basic fundamentals of leadership through a "senior leaders' course." The seven-week course is equivalent to a reserve army junior NCO's course. During their training days, the boys will be given rifle drill, fir- Cadets Get Taste Of Life In Army ing on the ranges and an over- night route march during which | they will sleep in the open. They will use both rifles and bren guns, | and although they will not actu- ally fire them, they will learn how to use sten guns and hand grenades. TEACHERS INSTRUCTOR Training of the boys will be in the hands of instructors from the Cadet Services of Canada, who are actually school teachers most of whom have army backgrounds and who have handled cadet corps dur- ing the school term. Officer commanding the cadet wing is Lt.-Col. G. E. Armstrong, D.S.0., Toronto. Camp comman- der is Brig. Anderson. There will be plenty of hard work for the cadets, but the train- ing syllabus leaves many hours of recreation. Training will be car- ried out in the mornings only, with the afternoons left free for recreation. Swimming will be a big item on the recreation list, with the boys using a restricted area neax Ipper- wash. Park. Red Ctoss lifeBuards will be on hand there at all times. Besides swimming, there will be baseball, basketball and volleyball, with movies and entertainment available after supper.

The meeting was conducted in#® his own inimitable manner by Past President '"Army" Armstrong; while the new officers were install- ed by Past President Hayden Mac- donald. NEW OFFICERS The new officers of the club are: President, Cyril Schofield; vice- president, Ed. Storie; secretary, Stanley Lovell; treasurer, John R. Geikie; directors, E. F. Bastedo, W. R. Branch, Ralph Schofield, Dr. Douglas Langmaid, David Lander, Dr. C. Vipond, James Reid, Ed. Storie and Alex Nathan. One of the highlights of the gath- ering was the presentation of a past president's pin to retiring President Branch by President C. Schofield together with a framed picture which will hang with those of the 33 past presidents of the club in Rotary Hall. His work as governor of the 247th district of Rotary International dur- ing the past year was eulogized Rotarian S. R. Alger who made the presentation of a framed certif- icate to Retiring District Governor Stan Everson. It was pointed out that Rotarian Everson is the second member of the local club to hold the office of district govenor, the other being the late Dr. Grant L. Bird. By coincidence Cecil F. Cannon of Toronto, who was presi- dent of the Oshawa Club during Dr. Bird's tenure of office as district governor, was present at yester- day's meeting. The work of President Branch was praised by Past President Stanley J. Phillips, who voiced congratulations on a very success ful Rotary year. A brief review of the year's work was given by the retiring president. He cited some of the highlights of the year and offered several sug- gestions for future activities. He said steps are being taken to develop a bathing beach at the foot of Stephenson's Road. It was | also suggested that a thorough sur- vey be made in an effort to ascer- tain new fields of work for Rotary in Oshawa. He commented also that a number of classifications are open and every effort should be made to increase the club's mem- berhip. CLUB PROJECTS During the past year, the club footed the bill for a new building at Rotary Pool which will cost $5,500. It also donated a projector and public address system to Sim- |coe Hall as well as an inhalator |to the new Oshawa Ambulance Service which is being operated by ithe Oshawa Fire Department. | It was also noted that the club this year touched a seven-year-high in its Easter Seal Fund campaign. The new board of directors and officers of the club were introduc- ed by Past President Dr. W. J, Langmaid who also spoke of the fine work done for Rotary by Dr. Dr. C. Vipond. Rev. Canon D. M. Rose voiced appreciation of the work as presi- dent and as a member of the director board of Everett Lovell, who is now retired.

Manager Thomas P. Fox of As- sociated Airways Ltd., which has three 'copters based here, say de- velopment of their use in the north- land has barely started. There now are five commercial helicopters in Alberta on geological and topo- graphical or timber surveys. Mr. Fox says the helicopter will not replace conventional aircraft in the near future, but would make unnecessary many trips by canoe or on foot. With helicopters, geologists can reach area previously inaccess- ible. Mr. Fox recalled one engineer Bush Pilots Switching To New Helicopters who said he accomplished more with a helicopter and crew in six weeks last year than three crews could have done in three years by ordinary methods. VERSATILE MACHINE The helicopter has many uses. Engineers surveyed a 200 - mile highway route in northwest Al- berta in 1% days. A helicopter was | used to find deposits of sand and | gravel in the Cold Lake area for | |the RCAF's new airport in the big | rocket range straddling the Al- berta-Saskatchewan border.

Only 600 yars from the enemy and able to take on targets up to 1,500 yards dist- ance with extreme accuracy, Push- karenko's four Sherman tanks have played havoc. HIGH EXPLOSIVES FIRST With pinpoint precision they send first of all three or four high- explosive shells into enemy obser- vation posts, bunkers or caves that are the target of the day. hTe shells go right through the openings, explode inside with smashing effect, presumably kill- ing or wounding any occupant, and certainly reducing to tinder the timbered structure within.
