Moulds are made of wocd, exâ€" act in design and detail down to the tast rivet thole, for each plas» Jhat goes into the construction of a ship. First, the moulds for the keel are laid down, amd from the keel the sides are reâ€" constructed wsiil} !ae moulds of every plate have been measured and are in place. The moulds are then taken to the punchâ€"room and iplates are cout to fit them, every rivest hole being marked cn Jhe plaies and then drilled. A year ago the large punchâ€"rocm which covers about six acres of space was a@bsolutely void of any form of machinery. <In fact it was used as a s‘craze space for trucks and cars. Toâ€" day heavy presses and punching maâ€" chines brepare steel plates for the construction of Minesweepers. Huge rollers capable of rolling steel twen.y feet long, six feet wide, and a quarter of an inch in thickness, to any desired sinape necessary to fit any part of a ship are handling steel ito the volume of twen‘y tons a day. In the centre of the punch shop is a large heatâ€" treating unit., This unit is used to heat the steel girders until they are a mass of glowing rted steel. They are then taken onto a siteel form and benit to fit the shape of the mould, and when cooletâ€"become the ribs of a ship. This heating unit is an oil furnace and raisâ€" es a tempera‘ture of close to 3000 deâ€" grees Fahrenheit. The tocling of this punch shop is certainly a miracle of efficiency. the steel plates have been preâ€" pared in ithe punch shop the keel is taken out and laid on the ways. The rits are itinen put in place, the plates riveted on, and the ship then beginsn to take form. There are several hunâ€" dred sueel plates of quarterâ€"inch steel in each ship. They are of many sizes and shapes. Some are as long as twen‘y fest, while cthers may be only two or Ithree feet in length. All are cut to the specified measuremen‘s to fit ««he part of the ship they are to cover. There are approximately 160,â€" I will call the superintendent Mac, for # was he who personally conducted me over the whole of the shipyard. Mac is the mcos, important man in the whole oarganization. He is, in facot, the only member of the organization who has had any experience in the direction and swmpervision of shipâ€" building. He has to check the pulse of every department, and this requires working from twelive to fourteen hours a Gay. The boats are completely airâ€"condiâ€" tioned, dhiave electric refrigeration, and living quanters for fortyâ€"eight ratings, five officers and a captain, The cost of cne ship is $600,000. Every available foot of space is put uo practical use. The deck, besides carrying the armament previously outâ€" lined, holds the tender, lifeboat, and sufficient lifeâ€"rafts to accommodate a crew of fiftyâ€"four; depthâ€"charge throwâ€" ers and winches, etc., leave only sufâ€" ficien, room for the crew ito move about the deck. SUNDAY, SEPT. 28, 1941 Canadian National Railways The piping in one of these ships, if laid enid to end, would run to several miles in lengith, while the electric wirâ€" ing, if laid in a straight line, would reach a length of more Jlvan a score of miles. The job being gone by this construcâ€" tion company is ancther evidence of the adaptability of both labour and capital to meet the everâ€"growing needs of cur war effort. The keeping of she seaâ€"lanes free from mines and the proâ€" tecticn of cur merchant ships in conâ€" voy, rests to a very great extent with these sturdy, adequate liitle ships, which are in all respects a pocket ediâ€" tion of the modern presentâ€"day desâ€" troyer. The men standing on a steel hull, riveting under a blistering sumimer sun, or a biting north wind in winter, are contributing to the cause of freedom secend only to ithat of the fighting forces. Due to ‘the determination of these men to do a job, well done, ships are today sliding down the ways in this shipyard, at the rate of one every two weeks, These boass are powered with twin Diesel engines. They are capable Of carrying many ithousand barrels |of fuel oil. Several hundred gallons oi oil are used an hcur when travelling at a moderate rate of speed. Canadians may justifiab‘y feel proud of our shipâ€"building industry. Canâ€" ada is doing her part to see that Briâ€" tain shall continue to rule the waves. Ethelâ€"Please, can you tell me the itime? Williecâ€"I don‘t know exactly, but I know it isn‘t 4 o‘clock yet! ~ Ethelâ€"Are you sure? Willieâ€"Quite; ‘cause I have to ‘be home by 4 and I‘m not home yet. â€"Exâ€" change. As I lefa the ships that are on the ways I saw several wheelhouses under construction. They are constructed alâ€" most entirely of brass, the reason being that only nonâ€"magneiic metal must be used within a radius ¢f ten feesy of the compass. Consequently, the wheelâ€" house is one of ‘the most expensive pants of a ship. Tihese wheelhouses are assembled on the ground, and when compleited are swung up on to the deck and rivetted into place. Minesweepers have twin secrews, each propeller weighing one and a half tons. The rudder has a weight of fifteen hundred pounds, and is six feet in height and four feet in width. Amherstburg Echo:â€"Scientific sugâ€" gesticon . . .

S. B.: Scobell of the Goldfield Drug Co. The crowd began to gather early, and at the slarting time the bridge, the girders, the boat houses, wWhe banks of the Mattagami river on bo h sides, the roads, and every place else near were lined wi h people. Cars were stretched out in all direecâ€" tions and people were clustered at every possibe vantage point. There crowds perched on ithe girders of the bridge, more on top of the boathcuses nearby and eventhe expensive tops of some of the Clouthier bosts woere used to stand upon, as well as the tops of parked cars. One boathouse roof gave way with the weight of the people crowded on it. In the excitement ons young man dressed in his Sunday best fell from ithe girders of the bridge to the water below, some seventy or sevâ€" entyâ€"five feet., He was prompfly resâ€" cued from the water, but was found to be uninjured, thougth he was ill for seme timefrom the efects of <the shock and the s.riking of the water on his stomach. The crowd was essimated to have totaled fully six thousand pecple and many believed the number would be nearer seven thcusand. The noted marathon swimmers were introduce: by the coach, Johnny Walker, Canada‘s most ncted swimming coach. First, Mrs. Evelyn Armstrong, of Detroit, gave m display of swimming strokes that pleased the crowd. The wonderful display of swimming talent shown by George Young, world‘s marathon swimâ€" ming champion, roused the greatest enthusiasm in the big crowd, as did the ladies‘ marathon swim champion of the world, Margaret Ravior. George Young and Miss Ravior in their horseâ€" tack swimming stunt delighted the crowd. The underwater swimming Oof Sponder created a regular sensation. At the weekly Luncheon of the Tu mins Kiwanis Club ten years ago at t Empire hotel the guests for the day cluded Johnny Walker, Mrs, Walk George Young (the world‘s champi marathon swimmer), Isadore Spond Mrs. Ruth Armstrong, Mr. Packer the Viâ€"Tone Co., Col. S. B. Scobell the Goldfield Drug Store, and H; Watson, the original "Pigskin Peter Johnny Walker gave the club a very i teresting talk on how he had train the swimmers. Lack of proper traini he said, had been the cause of Geor Young dropping out of previcus swin but that year George had train faithfully and well and his coa knew he would win.

Recently in Cochrane there has been a determination that the injury and loss must sttp. The recent rioct, engineered apparently by the communists, and in which a proâ€" vincial police officer was injured, was the last straw. When the alien parâ€" adets on Wednesday refussd to observe law and order and it appearâ€" ed as if there would ‘be a repetition of ‘the affair, some weeks ago, the people of Cochrane joined wholeâ€" heartedly wi‘th the police to assure the fact that Cochrane was handling its own affairs and not being tramplâ€" ed on by any communist â€" inspired forsizners. The paraders refused to disperse they found socme hundreds of citizens of the town awaiting them armed clubs and other weapons. They were given opportunity again to disperse quie‘:ly, but missed ithe oppâ€" ortunity. Another rioct was started but is was not of long duration. 60 far no Cochrane citizens were injured to any exitent, but the paraders reâ€" ceived a very severe drubbing. They wers> bea‘en until there was no fight or diz~turbance left in them. Then they were taken to the railway tracks and stanted cout of town, being helped alcng the way forcibly.
