Mysteries of Nuclear Fission Theme of Talk mysteries of muclear fission and the production of atomic pow- er were vividly described and il- lustrated to the members of Le- banon Lodge, AF. and AM. at their banquet in the M i rated ntutron flux, with higher spe- cific activity, than any other re- actor known. Pictures and charts showed how the process of creat- ing radioactive products such as Temple on Tuesday evening by Clye Kennedy, superintendent of lic realtions of Atomic energy of Canada, Limited, of Chalk Riv- er, Ontaro. Using slides of graphs, drawings and of photographs of the atomic energy plant at Chalk River, Mr. Kennedy, gave his au- dience a clear and understandable of the principles involved m the operation of the nuclear chain reactors at that important centre of Canadian research into the possibilities of atomic power. Dealing with uranium as the source of the fissionable material used at the plant, Mr. Kennedy showed that in uranium, only .7 per cent was the U235 material which was utilized in the nuclear reactor. The balance of 99.3 per cent was not fissionable, so that of every 14 pounds of uranium, only one pound was available for atomic energy purposes. Using a progressive series of slides, Mr. Kennedy showed how the bombardment of U235 by neu- trons created the fission, which threw off fission products, gamma rays, heat rays and two or three neutrons, which in turn, bombard- ed other particles of U235 to set » the chain reaction and provid- a source of plutonium, which was also fissionable. This constant chain reaction was the principle behind the reactors at Chalk Riv- er. By the use of heavy water instead of graphite to slow down the action of the neutrons, the plant at River produced a higher balt 60 bomb, was carried on at the plant. Showing a one inch cube of ur- anium, Mr. Kennedy said that it was capable of producing as much heat as 13 tons of coal. The Co- balt. bomb, produced by making small pellets of Cobalt 59 radio- active, was made at a cost of $50,000 and had the curative pro- perties of radium worth $40,000,000. Interesting to the audience was a series of diagrams showing how the utilization of the heat rays to produce steam to operate tur- bines for the generation of electric power would make possible atomic plants for electricity. While he made no statement as to how soon atomic electricity plants would be created, Mr. Kennedy indicated that such plants were quite feas- ible and were being developed. He also illustrated the use of radio- active isotopes in many branches of industry. The address brought down to the audince level many of the secrets of nuclear science, and was of in- tense interest. The speaker was introduced by Wor. Bro. Stanley 'F. Everson, and Wor. Bro. W. H. Gibbe expressed the thanks of the brethren for his informative dem- onstration. Wor. Bro. Harold Flin- toff presided over the banquet, which was featured by an unusual type of sing-song conducted by Bro. Dr. George Werry; with Bro. Matt Goldbourn at the piano. Hear Talk On University Last Wednesday evening, at St. Gregory's Columbian Squires meet- ing, a gprogram was put on by Councillor Pat Monaghan. Pat, who is a graduate of the University of Toronto, boasts of a B.A. and his program was a talk on a 'College Education". In his talk Pat told the Squires the value of a good education and how it trains a person to talk and think for himself thus putting him- self in greater demand which gives him a large choice of jobs. He also told the boys some of the Tuition Fee of some of the various courses and the amount of school- ing and studying that has to be put in, also the time you have to be in at night. After Pat was finished his talk he was asked numberless ques- tilons by the enthused Squires. Try To Cut Living Costs i The Oshawa and District Labor | Council heard how the striking miners in Northern Ontario are making every effort to reduce their living costs in order that they might win their battle for better 1 wages and working conditions, | Guest speaker Henry Gareau, president of Local 4278 of the Unit- | ed Steelworkers of America in Nor- anda Mine and vice-president of the Rouyn-Noranda Labor Coun- cil, told of a huge kitchen that has been set up serving thousands of (meals a day at a cost of 13 cents 'each. 1] . | The striking giners hauled their own wood, he said, and were think- ing of setting up their own butch- ering plant.

The strikers had followed the law right to the letter previous to the time when nego- tiations broke down, he said.

S. Ebbs against John MacDonald, 22, 215 Celina Street. MacDonald was fined $25 and costs or 10 days and his driver's permit was suspended for six months. It was an ironic coincidence that MacDonald was apprehended and convicted because of a friend who was driving MacDonald's car while Hels friend's licence was suspend- ed. Detective Sergeants Duncan Fer- guson and William Jordan testi- fied that they saw Lawrence Bar- agar, 20, 70 Byng Avenue, driv-| ing MacDonald's car on Bloor! Street West on November 28. Knowing that Baragar's licence was suspended, they followed the car back to Simcoe Street. As they rounded the crner, they saw Mac- Donald and Baragar trading places while the car was still in motion. MacDonald argued that the of- ficers could not have seen the change because his car windows were frosted because of the cold. He admitted sliding over into the driver's seat without stopping the car. He did not have time, he said, to change in the proper man- | ner because te police would see him changing and know that Bar- agar had been driving. He did not consider such a move as repre- | sentative of careless driving. | "If that is not careless driving, I'd like to know. what is," com- mented Magistrate F. S. Ebbs. "It is careless driving of the worst kind," he added.

In Magistrate's Court here today Bridges was found guilty of both intoxication and vagrancy. He was fined $10 and costs or 10 days on each charge, the sentences to run concurrent. Bridges told the court that he was returning to Guelph from a military hospital in Montreal where he was taking treatment for bad nerves. He had stopped off in Osh- awa to visit his sisters here. Un- able to find them, he remained long enough to get drunk, cause a dis- turbance and be arrested. The court did not seem to believe his story. A past record of petty offenses, dating from 1934, was read. It included shopbreaking, va- grancy and threatening to kill. is being moved to new premises on | Thursday afternoon of this week and new magneto switchboard | equipment will go into service at that time, J. W. Lowry, Bell Tele- phone manager for this region, said today. The new office will be located on | Campbell Street, about a block south of the former location, and will provide larger and more mod- ern facilities for both public and staff. The actual changeover will be made early Thursday afternoon, with virtually no interruptign in service. Within a matter of seconds the old switchboard will be discon- nected and the new one placed in service. The occasion will be marked offi- cially when Reeve Heber Down, of Brooklin places the first call over the new equipment to Ajax. Mr. Brooklin council will be guests of the Bell company at the new ex- change when the changeover is made. : The Brooklin telephone system will remain magneto-operated aft- er the change, but the switchboard equipment in the new exchange will be of improved and up-to-date design. After the changeover, paments of accounts and all other telephone b matters should be direct- ed to the new office, Mr. Lowry said. The additional space avail- able in the new office is expected to add to the convenience of tele- phone users having business there, he added.
