THE POWER OF IDEAS

The spectacular events of the past few days call to our atten- mm once again that we are living "1 a new kind of world. The de- ieiopments of science leave man almost breathless. First it is the announcement of an atomic bomb more powerful than those which Lillught destruction to I-lirosliirna and Nagasaki.

when man first became ac- quainted with its power of de- a st.-uction it was is terrible weapon. As things stand at the moment it b 1. mil a terrible weapon and one in be feared. It came by surprise ,.5 3 great shock to a war weary il(li'id in 1945. Since that time we :mV'C gradually come to accept it as a master weapon of war. We are no longer surprised. It is now simply ai case oi watch and wait. licw powerful' and how destructive iilily such an instrument become?

The present-day attitude to the a mviii of the atomic bomb was a -vidcnt this week when the most .1-rent blast was televised to a miitiiient. The atomic age reach- ed very close to millions of people. The unc-motional and coldly sci- riitific force was introduced to the C nlidicllce may possibly have de- tmt-ted attention from the fact that it is a weapon of war.

ldo not wish in any sense to oi-precate the development of sci- ence, and to minimize the possi- i-iiities of ntoiiiie science and its possible application to every-dziy 1..'r and medicine, but rather to w sircsfl the fact that. it is a weapon of war and not an immediate ti fnrre for peace.

Our attention is called to this in tact innumerable times and yet it is one of the paradoxes of life 'liat we do not realize the power iif ideas.

we, in turn, should heed the recommendations you make to us," be said.

Mr. Gordon slated that. the most important. problem facing the railways today was that of coni- petition." We must meet Porn- petltion, not stifle it. we must get the maximum amount of production from our working forces, working tools and working material."

The president complimented the C. N. R. motive power and car shop staffs for their efficiency re- cord attained in 1951. He par- ticularly commended the perform- ance of the ear shops in reduc- ing the number of unserviceable freight. cars from eight to three

per cent. , iilr. Gordon told the delegates that. the company is engaged in

an extensive study of diescllzatlon. Implementation of the program will necessitate major changes in the utilization of labour forces but he said, "We are providing train- ing methods for existing employees to qualify themselves for the maintenance and operation of die- sel power. We are going to han- die dleselizaticn in as considerate A way as possible so as to use the maximum number of existing personnel. Our program is a long range one." New Tension Plan

The president drew attention to the company's new pension plan and he advised all employees to study it: so as to take advantage of it according to the option that seems best suited to individual needs. He,staled that. the com- pany is setting up committees. on a regional basis to help employees make their selection. 8. F. Din- gle. vice-president, in charge of operation. noted that shop pro- duction had been malntalnet! at a high level in spite of the short- er work week. He paid tribute to the shopmen who, in the record time of three weeks, renovated the train equipment for the re- cent Royal Tour. Mr. Dingle also thanked the delegates for their fine co-operation throughout the year. ' ll. L. Dnly, A member of the C. N. R. board of directors. said that the suggestions Advanced through the union uiunsgeme t co-opcr- ative movement have been of benefit to both the workers and the company. and that the per- sonal frlendships which develop from the meetings lead to mutual , unclerstiuiding of the problems faced by both elements in the company. The meeting was un- der the chairmanship of A. C. Mclsnson. chief of motive power anti car equipment. The delegates came from various parts of Can- ads and the United Slates.

Mr. Mclsnson reported that during 1951 A total of 1.334 sug- gestions had been reviewed by the committee. of which 981 had been accepted. For the 26 year period 1 total of 38.725 suggestions were discussed and that .'i:l,fHll have
