This characteristic must have been evident from early childhood for his father called him at the age of thirâ€" teen "my little philosopher." Indeed, Descartes‘ whole life has been deâ€" scribed as one long meditation. Bcorn at La <~Haye, France, in 1596, Rene Descartes at the age of eight entered the school at La Flethe which was run by Jesuit priests. This school, by the way, was founded under curâ€" ious circumstances.

Lâ€"18%X It musi not be supposed,, however, that the philosopher was a ladies‘ man, for he is quoted as declaring that "a Jeautiful woman, a good book, and a perfect preacher are the things most impcssible to find in this world." Ironically enough, it was a beautiâ€" ful and talented woman who caused his death. Queen Christina of Sweâ€" den became interested in his philosoâ€" phy and invited him to give her inâ€" structions three times a weekâ€"but at five in the morning! The severity of the northern winter and these unâ€" usually early hours were too much for the frail philosopher and in a year he fell ill and died. It is highly fitting that these postage stamps should picture Descartes surâ€" rounded by his literary productions, for at the end of his life he left to future philosophers a vast number of works, inclding such books as ‘"Rules for the Direction of the Mind," "The Search for Truth," "Meditations on First Philosophy," and many others... ascartes bolieved that everything that he had studied besides matheâ€" matics lacked clearness and certainty. He fcelt that the methods of matheâ€" matics should be applied to all forms of philosophy and science. In philoâ€" sophy, as in working out a mathemaâ€" tical problem one must start with the only thing of which he can be sure, and from there work up i the more complex ideas. The one certainty in all the world is one‘s own existence, and this Descartes established, to his own satisfaction at least, by his faâ€" mous dictum, "Cogito, ergo, sum," "I think, therefore I am." All of which may seem as baffling to the reader as it does to the author!, So if the French postal authorities went decply into these matters and came out with their only error a "sur‘" instead of a "de" we should perhaps not be too harsh with them. "To Raise a Fundâ€"" The French postal authoritiee have gcot back to the common man.

Following his school years he toeck up law for a time. travelled through Europe, and served in the army in Bavaria and the Netherlands. But he longed to escape from the disâ€" tractions of the world to a life of conâ€" templation. He retired to Holland and there he remained for twentyâ€"one years, returning to Prance only three times for brief visits. He expressed his satisfazcticn with Amsterdam by saying "In this great city where I now am, cverybody but myself is in business and so deeply engrossed in his profits that I could live here all my life withâ€" out being noticed by anvone." "With an miposing background of 28 years of successful endeavour, the Holâ€" linger, the oldest of the present Norâ€" thern Ontario gold producers, gives imâ€" pressive evidence that it stall has many years of productivity before it." "Currently the Hollinger mine emâ€" ploys nearly 3,000 men, among the highâ€" est paid of any industry in Canada, with allâ€"theâ€"year round employment, and it is an important factor in the life of the city of Timmins, which has grown, through the instrumentality of the nearby mining industry, to a community of 25,000 people. About 500 Men to be Employed at Plant Announcement was made by John D. Mansfield, president of the Chrysler Corporation of Canada Limited, that the new $3,000,000 engine manufacturâ€" ing plant of the Chrysler Corporaâ€" tion Of Canada Limited will in the near future commence producing comâ€" plete Canadianâ€"built sixâ€"cylinder moâ€" tors for Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto cars. Dodge and Fargo trucks and Commmercial cars. Abcut 500 men will be employed in the new plant. Ground was first broken for this Ground was first broken for this modern industrial building on June 30th, and on September 28th, 90 days later, the Chrysler Corporation startâ€" ed moving in machinery which is now operating in the manufacture of parts. The balance of the new machinery for engine production is now in place. This engine plant, known as Windâ€" sor Plant No. 2. stands in an area of six and threeâ€"quarter acres, has a floor area of 124,800 sauare feet and is enâ€" is shown to ‘be predominantly a Canaâ€" diai company. Its total shareholders number 11,345. Of these, 9,321 are resiâ€" dents of Canada, holding 4,322,808 of the 4,920,000 shares. area of 124,800 square feet and is enâ€" clcsed by 54.,675 square feet of glass. The 420 individual electric motors in the new engine plant will require 3500 electrical horsepower, bringing the Chrysier Corporation consumption of hydro power to a total of more than 1200 hnorsepower. One of the modern features of the building is that both railway freight cars and trucks enter "Of special interest, too, is the fact that during 1937 Hollinger distributed $6,268,966 in wages and salaries, and that no less than $3,177,819 was expendâ€" ed for materials, supplies and miscelâ€" laneous items, practically all produced and purchased in Canda. "As a matter of record, also. is shown to be predominantly New $3,000,000 Chr v\lel Enâ€" gine 1 Manufacturi ing Plant for Canada. "Despite the fact that Hollinger fed through its huge milling plant last year no less than 1,719,199 tons of ore, the reserves were listed as 2,834 tons than at the close of the year 1936. An interâ€" esting fact is that there is little difâ€" ference in the value of reserves now than a decade ago, the amount quoted in the report of 1928 being $51,210,235, while for 1937 it was $49,779,926, based on $20.67 gold. "At the present price of gold the value of Hollinger‘s reserve tonnage is over $84,000,000 or nearly sufficient for six years‘ operations at current rate, From the time Hollinger mine first started producing in 1910, the property has yielded new wealth to the amount of $257,409.542, an average of over $9,000,000 annually over a period of 28 years. The only rival among the North American golds is gross output and dividends in the Homestake mine of South Dakota. "The faith then manifested by the Timminsâ€"Dunlapâ€"McMartin â€" syndicate, who provided the intial capital to open up the Hollinger mine. has long since been fully justified and today the great property is often referred to as a gold factory. Each February, as the report for the preceding calendar year‘s operâ€" ations is issued, it becames increasingly evident that the performance of the company is more in the nature of the steady, sustained function of a factory than of a mint which is ordinarily acâ€" cepted as a wasting asset with gradually diminishing output. Now we have a new series of three semiâ€"postals of a different sort: 20¢ plus 10c brown, picturing a group of women and children on the beach engaged in a tugâ€"O0fâ€"war, 40> plus 10c red brown, showing three runners and a discus thrower, and 356¢ plus i1(; The following is an editorial from Th« Sudbury Star on Wednesday last: ,‘When Noah Timmins and his assocâ€" iates erected a small stamp mill and started treatment of a meagre tonnage of ore daily at the Hollinger mine in the early days of the Porcupine mining camp, many scoffed at their efforts. declaring that the gold deposit was not of ~sufficient economic importance to warrant development and milling operâ€" ations.

Suceess of the Hollinger Proves Vision of Founders dark brown, representing a group of hiktrs making for the distant mounâ€" tains. Three guesses as to why these stamps were issued would be of little avail.. They wore produced for no less a purpose than "to raise a fund to promote the sporting activities of the employees of the Post Offico, ,Teleâ€" phone and Telegraph Systems" which are under government control! Hollinzer Where raw materials come into the plant, they are given rigid inspections before they pass on to the manufacâ€" turing division. At another place in the plant, each complete powsr unit, after having been operated at highâ€" speed on a block for two hours, is given a dynamoâ€"meter test to make sure that it develops its full intended horsepower. Every engine produced in this plant has to prove itself individually before it leaves to be assembled into a Chrysâ€" lerâ€"built motor «car. This is pointed out as an exceptional practice in an industry noted for its. precision. The same principle applies to connecting rod and other engine parts manufacâ€" tured in this plant. Twentyâ€"five men, whose sole auty is to look for trouble, are engaged in actual inspection work on the manuâ€" facturing floor and through their hands passes every component part reâ€" quiring precision manufacture. These men pride themselves on the fact that it is their job to see that everything is absoluelyv right. The manufacture of motor parts and engines calls for production within precision limits almost beyond comâ€" prehension. Rough castings come into the plant, are first roughâ€"machined, and as they pass through lines of giant milling machines the precision requireâ€" ments become more and more exact until, in the final inspection, 5â€"10,000 of an inch may be the standard which they must meet. All important moving parts are so balanced that any part can be used in any engine of the type for which tne part was made. This makes for satisfactory performance and long lifo in a motor,. directly into the building without the use of outside structures. Beparate loading and unloading docks are proâ€" vided within the building for incomâ€" ing materials and outgoing products. The construction and equipment of this amazing new manu{facturing plant has been accomplished in record time. The building houses giant machines of which perhaps only four or five have ever been built, and others that have no duplicates, having been designed especially to perform the operations required in turning out the various types of Chryslerâ€"built motors.

There is an amazing passion for cleanliness, evident everywhere in this new Chrysler motor manufacturing plant. Certain parts, sutch as. the cylinder block, are washed in caustic sclutions several times, finally washed in clear water and then given a blast of live steam to make sure there is no possibility of any small particles of steel or dirt having adhered anywhere, which might later on get into the working parts of a motor.. Another assembly, previously washed and dried, is given a bath of a special solution before being dropped into the engine on the assembly line, to make sure that it has picked up no particles of: dust
