20 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, November 2, 1961 CHECKS RADIATION EFFECTS Scientists Working To Protect Canadians OTTAWA (CP) -- Scientists| are working in a nuclear-age laboratory here to protect Can- adians from over-exposure to harmful radiation. Tight controls on the growing use of all radioactive materials} in Canadian hospitals, universi-/ ties, private industry and Bov-| ernment laboratories are main-| tained by the tiny group in the) radiation protection division of} Canadians exposed to radia- tion,' Dr. P. M. (Peter) Bird, a senior federal radiation ex- pert, said in an interview.

OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's top transport men are taking an industry-wide look this month at the spectacular possibilities of a new cargo-handling system called containerization. Containerization--that's a 16- letter word for what is also known in the trade as piggy- back, fishy-back and birdy-back. It's a cost-cutting technique laboratory nuclear experts don't} become over- exposed to the| lethal material. | Equipment with radioactive materials, for example, now helps find leaks in gas lines and thousands of tiny badges to the| metal in factories. employees across the country.| Also falling within the scope Films from the badges are of the laboratory are the testing checked at the laboratory every of milk samples for strontium- two weeks for radiation con-|99 and objects, such as watches, The laboratory has issued! measures the thickness of sheet for pieces Serta has co-operated with the King to bring you this the greatest bedding event of the year.

Genuine Workers are allowed to be that puts many individual pack- ages into a specially designed container for shipment by rail, truck, ship or plane. While it is not a brand-new concept, the idea caught on only fm recent years in Europe and the United States, promising to revolutionize the vital business of hauling goods. But in Canada, the system is not yet in widespread use, ex- cept in railway carriage of| truck trailers, the booming piggy-back business. To co-ordinate industry think- ing on containerization, the Na- tonal Harbors Board has called transport experts and execu- tives together for a one-day conference Nov. 9 in Toronto. HARBORS AFFECTED Aim of the conference is to tind out what the transport in- dustry thinks about the system, who plans to use it, what facil- ties will be needed and when it may be expected on a large scale in Canada. Travellers' Outlooks Broadened TORONTO (CP)--Four stu- dents at Toronto's Havergal Col- lege who travelled separately in Europe this summer came home with a broadened outlook and greater appreciation of Canada.

The ideal 'universal' container should be easily 'oaded and unloaded on rail- way flatcars, in ship's holds, on truck trailers, and should be suitable for use not only in Canada but almost anywhere in the world. ~ INSURANCE LOWER Already, efforts are under Studies.
