Mining Institute Hear Paper on Dust Control D. J. Dunlop, of Hollinger Mine Staff, Explains Modern System in Use. _ Many Beneuts Derived. _ Members Asked to Consider Proposed Reâ€"Classification. â€" Memâ€" bership Fee is Reduced. Vol. XXIIL. No. 82 "A great deal can be accomplished if a plant is propertly designed with this end in view," declared P. J. Dunlop in a paper entitled, ‘Dust control at The Hollinger Mill," gelivered at the openâ€" ing meeting of the local branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy for the 938â€"39 season at the Empire Hotel last Thursday night. Mr. Dunlop punctuated his remarks with figures on costs ad dust costs beâ€" fore and after the installation of the Hollinger control system, which clearly showed the benefit# that are derived. The Hollinger control system, which embraces the crusher house and rolls plant, jJaw crusher and new grinding plant, cost the company Just under $60,â€" 000 and is the result of an exhaustive study made over a period of more than five years. The cost of installing a dust control system will vary with the size of the mill and the number of machines in operation, Mr. Dunlop pointed out. He strongly recommended that new mills should be built with beams and braces outside the walls rather than inside. Interior stteelwork he claimed, resulted in a large accumulation of dust on the flat sides of the beams. The new crusâ€" her house at Youngâ€"Davidson, owned by Hollinger, is being constructed with 1. interior beams. Mr. Dunlop informed the meeting. When such a plan is folâ€" lowed the cost of dust control equipâ€" ment is materially reduced, he declared. In concluding his remarks, Mr Dunâ€" lop extended his sincére thanks to the McIntyre mine tor their coâ€"operation and assistance in many phases of the construction of â€"the Hollinger dust coiiâ€" trol aand ventilation system. Angus Campbell, formerly of the Mcâ€" Intyre staff and now manager of Omega Mines at Larder Lake, extended a heéarâ€" ty vote of thanks to Mr. Dunlop In doing so he drew attention to the fact that the Hollinger dust control system has reached a peak of efficiency equal or better than the much discussed acâ€" complishments at the Rand Mine in south Africa, Membership »btaius + The question ‘of the reclassification of Institute membership, in which Mr. J. H. Stovel, general manager of Dome 1934, has again been opened and each branch has been asked to answer a questionnaire for the guidance of the parent body in settling the question. The matter was referred to by President R. P. Kinkel, who asked the members to give the matter their consideration and be prepared to discuss the suggestâ€" ed change at the next regular meeting As the byâ€"laws of the CLM.M. now stands only two classifications exist, members and associates..

Before the guests anau graquates atrâ€" rived the audience were entertained by the ‘High School orchestra under the direction of Mr. Chapman. During the progress of the programme the orchesâ€" tra received many compliments on their good work and achievement, and Mr. Chapman was especially thanked for the time and effort he had put forth to make this orchestra a success. _ Not only did the orchestra prov}dc good music, but they also gave a very pleasâ€" ing appearance with their blue and white jacket (school colours). After the guest speaker, members of the board and others had proceeded to the platform, the graduates marchâ€" ed to their allotted seats, the girls atâ€" tired in black skirts and white blouses, and each one wearing a bright red and the boys in dark suits. Dr. J. B. McClinton, chairman of the High School Board, and chairman for the evening, humorously introduced the board and mentioned the work. He added that the success of a school was due to the character of the pupils, the service of the staff, and the service and auality of its principal, complimenting Mr. Tanner on the service he has givâ€" en during his six years as principal of the Timmins High School. Mr. W. W. Tanner, principal of the High School, opened his address by remarking that this was a red letter day for the graduates, and explaining the meaning of commencement. CA School trains pupils for life, and if they are successful, that is if they are good citizens. then our preparations have been good," said Mr. Tanner. He compared the school to a mushroom, mentioning that there were nine hunâ€" dred and thirtyâ€"three pupils at the school ncw, the s:agger system being used to accommodate these pupllis. As principal of the High School he took great pride in the achievements of its pupils, especially the wonderful success of Ross Service, who had won three sp®â€" cial awards for his last year‘s work. The picture shows a corner in the Town Health Clinic room in the new municipal building at Timmins, Like the rest of the town hall building, this department is well The speaker also remarked on the fact that there were students in the school whose parents had been born in every province in Ontario, and in thirtyâ€" three countries of Europe, and there was no discord among the different | nationalities. Before presenting Meyer| Bucovetsky, of fourth year High School, with the Halperin Medal, for winning first class honours in ten subjects and! second class honours in one, Mr. Tanâ€" ner mentioned that he thought the most important reason the school staff and its principal were employed was to make "your son and your daughter a gcod citizen." In presenting to his mother the 1.O. D.E scholarship won by Ross Service, who is now at Toronto University, Mrs. Traver, president of the L.O.D.E., told of a change that had been made in the conditions of receiving this awerd. The original conditions wereâ€"highest standâ€" ing in any seven papers of upper school, and work during the year. The addi!â€" tional condition, to give more pupiis an opportunity to win seholarships, proâ€" vides that the winner must not be the possessor of any other scholarship or award for that vear, in which case the TiMMINS, ONTARIO, MONDAY, OCTOBER 24TH, 1938 CLINIC ROOM IN NEW TOWN HALL In introducing Dr. Duncan McArthur, Deputy Minister of Education, and emuest speaker for the evening, Mr. E. L. Longmore said that Dr. McArthur and his assistants "give the best they have, and it is good," and added that the peoâ€" ple of Ontario can never properly repay them for their services. Dr. McArthur thanked Mr. Longmore, and humorously remarked that everyâ€" where he had gone, the school board had told him of the needs of the school, adding that he had his suspicions about the reason he had been brought to Timâ€" mins. Glancing 2round the auditorium Dr. McArthur said that he certainly agrced that the High School needed a new assémbly hall. He congratulated the prize winners and graduates, and complimented Mr. Chapman and the orchestra on their work. In addressing the graduates, the speaker said, "There is one thing that they can carry away from this community, and that is that they shall continue to maintain the spiri‘ and courage of pioneoers." This region, he said, was the frontier of the province, and its people were pioneers, from whom their children may inherit a great awxl worthy tradition, such as had been inherited by the children of the pioneers of other parts of Canada. These graduates would be able to make a greater contribution to the wellâ€"being of the country in which they settle, if they carry to it a wholesome sense of selfâ€"respect and a respect for the rights of others, and a readiness and willingâ€" ness to coâ€"operate. â€" Explaining the new school system, Dr. McArthur stated that this system gives every boy and girl a chance to try out for himself the type of work he would prefer to do, so that they might choose that which is best suited to them, and added that n money would bring greater dividends than that used for the purpose of eduâ€" cating future citizens of Canada, in the many different types of work and outâ€" side interests.. He said that the twuble‘ with most parents was that they were likely to regard their own children as lovely swans, whereas they might really be ugly ducklings, and added that {o help their children the parents should endeavour to find out the kind of thing W'Wmm‘ «BP P P m furnished and equipped, and is one of the busiest room in town to the advantage of the gencral health. to the next or which they seem to be best fitted.
