Institute Hears Part Played By Xâ€"Rays in Industrial Processes Dr. Matthews is on the staff of the research department of C. I. L. at Beloeil, Quebec. He got his Ph. D. at McGill University, majoring in physiâ€" cal chemistry. He has done geoâ€" physical prespecting in northâ€"western| Quebec and was employed in the ore! treatment laboratory at _ Noranda, Mines. | "The electron microscope and Xâ€"ray diffraction camera are typ‘ical of the tools which have given industry accurate information _ required _ for guidance in technical problems," Dr. Matthews continued. The increasingly big part played by Xâ€"rays in industrial processes was Outâ€" lined by Dr. F. W. Matthews at a Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy meeting held in the Mcinâ€" tyre auditorium last Thursday. Wartime Uses Foreshadow Greater Share in Peaceâ€" Time Development "In the war years," Dr. Matthews told his listeners, "the field of physics came into its own. We heard, early in the war, about magnetic mines and degaussing cables, followed by radar, acoustic torpedoes, proximity fuses, and finally the atomic bomb. In aill these the physicist has been the brains behind the machine." "The amazing power of Xâ€"ray wave to penetrate matter was a startling discsvery of the 1890‘s. It was nol until 18 years later that the phenoâ€" menon of reflection of Xâ€"ray beam by atoms of a crystal was discovered. "This phenomenon depéends on the wave nature of Xâ€"ray, and just as the reflected waves of the seacoast outâ€" line the headlands and inlets, so the reflected Xâ€"ray beam from a cryi#% uU outlines the architecture of the atoâ€" mic arrangement. "If every substance is built on a clif â€" ferent architectural plane, then, any method which cutlines this plane can be used to identify any substance. * ~, "To the mineralogist this means thati each mineral can be fingerâ€"printed and indexed so that each time this mineral is encountered its identity Can be positively established. To the welâ€" der, the components of the metal fux can be determined by interpreâ€" tation of a simple pattern. "To the gemologist it means thai cultured and natural pearls can be positively distinguished without deâ€" struction Oof the pearl. This fingerâ€" printing technique speeds chemical analyses and even makes identificaâ€" tions possible that otherwise could n‘t be made. Vol. XXX No. 49 B PA TRAAA AA LA LAE A LAE MAE Em "since the reflection of an Xâ€"ray wave depends upon the arrangement of atoms in a substance. such indusâ€" trial techniques as cold rolling of metal sheet, cold drawing of a wire, cold drawings of a plastic, age harâ€" dening of a rivet, all of which depend upon changes in atomic architecture, can be followed and guided by Xâ€"ray diffraction studies. Watch Prices, Small Chisellers, Speaker W arns Consumers "As industrial development demands faster, more accurate, and more comâ€" plete information concerning an inâ€" dustrial process, Xâ€"ray «diffraction will become a more important tool for the engineer, for whom it will give furâ€" ther insight into the processes he is controlling." Women Told Dangers Of Inâ€" flation â€"â€" Still Present; Conservation Necessary A representative meeting of the liaison officers of the Consumers Branch of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board was held on Wednesday afternoon in the municipal chambets called by Mrs. A. A. Rose, acting preâ€" sident of the branch. The meeting was called to discuss correspondence from Ottawa and Torâ€" onto which affected the consumers, 2s householders. Mrs. Fred Simpson. convenor of the price study panel focussed attention on the work of the Consumer branch for the next several months. ' She stressed the danger of inflation, pointing out that it was still present, despite the belief of scme that this danger is now past. Haif the people believe that the "little chisellers" did not matter, Mrs. Simpson contended. Steps taken to keep prices down snd reasons for present shortages were explained to those attending.

Cancer Controel Group Plans Organizational Meeting Next Week Executive Would Include Of All Service Clubs A meeting will be held in the mun:â€" cipal chambers in Timmins on Thursâ€" day, Dec. 13 at=»8 p.m., for the purpose of organ:z ng the Porcupine Society for the Control of Cancer, and for the election cf the Society‘s officers for the eccming year. It is planned to have on the comâ€" mittee a member of each of the service clubs as well as those representative of the area as a whole which is covered by the administration of the Medical Officer of Health. Citizens interested in the project are urged to attend, and it is particuâ€" larly desired that all organizations interested in the public welfare in any way ensure that one at least of their members is present at next Thursday‘s meeting. "When you have to buy girl‘s underâ€" wear and make it over for boys, you begin to appreciate the situation," Mrs. Rose told The Advance. Published in Timmins, Ont., Cansoa EVERY THURSDAY a= The cost of the watches came to about $28 (not $50) each! The total bill to the town for these was not more than $310. This included a price of $25 per watch, plus tax and engraving. The pension plan, because it was not put into effect years ago, cost nfore in its initial year. Had a pension plan been in effect for the past ten years, the number of those coming under the plan this year might only be one or two. The town has simply corrected an omission in past programs. In the interest of a better underâ€" standing of town affairs by the public, The Advance, on its own responsibility, draws attention to some of the FACTS of the matter. The banquet cost the â€" ratepayers nothing! It was provided for the reâ€" tiring employees by their fellow workâ€" ers. The Pension plan for Timmins town employees, the dinner given them on their retirement, and the presentation of watches to them, have been subject to more than enough inaccurate reâ€" porting, and consequent, illâ€"informed gossip. For example, one employee of â€" 7485 years of age was retired this year. Obviously he was overâ€"due. Now that these older employees have been taken care of, those coming under the pension plan in coming years will be much fewer in number. Two or three, for instance, may required to be pensioned in the next two or three years. care of employees who have served The plan does not ordinarily take care of employees who have served the town only a few years. An emâ€" ployee must be 55 or under at the time of his employment by the town to qualify for pension. Pension is payâ€" able at 65 years, so obviously a miniâ€" muim of 10 years service is required. When the plan was started this year, it was necessary for the town to assume respons.hility for an employee who had been with the town only a short time. This was arranged through the pension plan, rather through other, and equally expensive means. Timmins is not alone in favouring a pension plan. A great number of muniâ€" Claims Recordings Near Thousand Mark Claims recorded in the month of November totalled 126, it was learned this week. On Monday morning, prosâ€" pectors registered close to thirtyâ€"five claims at the Recorder‘s office in Timâ€" mins. Close to 2,000 claims have been reâ€" corded in the past months of the year, it was learned. The majority of those recorded on Monday were claims in Adams, Thornâ€" loe and Thomas townships. Music Lovers Look Forward To Visit Of Symphony Conductor On Saturday, Dec. 15, music lovers of the Porcupine district will have the privilege of hearing the celebrated symphonic conductor, Tauno Hanâ€" nikainen, and his wife, Arvida Hanâ€" nikainen, in a ‘cello and voice recital in commemoration of the 80th birthâ€" day of the great Finnish composer Jan Sibelius, to be held in the McInâ€" tyre gymnasium. Tauno Hannikainen, distinguished conductor of the Duluth Symphony Orchestra, a position he assumed in 1942, sttained fame as a musician and conductor of opera in Helsinki and the capitals of Europe. He cams to America in the Spring of 1938 to appear as guest conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He also conducted concerts in New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and elseâ€" where and on Dec. 2, Mr. Hannikainen will conduct the Minneapolis Symâ€" phony in an allâ€"Sibelius concert. Madame Hannikainen is a wellâ€" known opera singer, having studied in Paris with Felia Litvin, in Italy with Maestro Vigly and at St. Petersburg conservatory with Alma Fohstrom. Russian and Italianâ€"opera are her faâ€" vourites. Madame Hannikainen was prima donna with the Helsinki State opera in Finland and the St. Petersâ€" burg Opera in Russia. Musicâ€"lovers are looking forward with great pleasure to Madame Hanâ€" nikainen‘s appearance and presentaâ€" tion of the rich melodies and songs of Sibelius on this memorable occasion. MMINS.
