been in use since October. 1949. Recently. another test strip was built near Unlonvllle, 13 miles northeast of Toronto.

Tests on some 40 stretches of road in Europe indicate that nat- ural rubber mixed with the asphalt adds years to the life of the road. gives a better braking surface and tends to keep ice from forrnlng.

One stretch in the Netherlands has been in use for i3 years on the main hluhway between Ams- terdam and The Hague. It was used by German military traffic and later by Allied tanks and trucks during the Second World War.

Other roads in the Netherlands were torn to pieces by heavy artil- lery traffic but the rubber-asphalt stretch still is in good conditlo and has needed no maintenance work.

Creamy-Colored Powder

The rubber - a creamy - colored powder in grains from half snlnoh in diameter to dust-ls mixed with the asphalt Just before the gravel is added.

Scientists say that the rubber absorbs the lighter hydro carbons in the bitumen but not the as- phaltenee. To the layman, it looks as if the rubber swells to five or slx times its original size. ,

First experiments with the rub- ber powder in ft paving mixture took place in Malays and England in the early 1930's. The strip near Ste. Rose was the first laid in Canada. but live now are in open- tlon. two in Ontario. two in Que- bec snd one in st. John's, Nfld.

English Stores Plan To Insure customers

LONDON. Feb. 2---(CF)--Free insurance against food poisoning. accidents or disease contracted as a direct result of their patronage is to be granted nearly 2,000,000 customers doing business at 12.000 shops throughout England.

Harrison. president of the Nation- al Union of Small Shopkcepern, becomes operative after 18 months of negotiation.

Financed by the union. the pol- icy provides for unlimited com- pensation where accidents are in- volved. and up to 1210.000 in cases of food poisoning and related dis- CEISCS.

"The danger of food poisoning is increasing us we new eat more tinned food than ever before. Mr. Harrison said. In the past. he added, mziny shopkeepers hud operated under the impression they were fully protected under their normal insurance policies only to discover their mistake

Veteran Nurse A Fire Ileroinc

VICTORIA. B. C.. Feb. 4- (CPI -Plucky Miss Jane Megarry. a 72- year-old graduate nurse recently assisted in the rescue of her non- agcnarian patent in an- apartment house fire. She helped her charge, 94-year-old Miss Alice Turner, from smoke-tilled rooms.

Miss Megarry was decorated

some years ago by the King for her nursing work among Alberta Indians. While nurse in charge of the St. Paul's Indian Residential School at Cardston. Alta, from 1924 to 1936. Miss Megarry taught first-aid and home nursing to the Indians.

As a result they were among the first natives to win many honors

ions.

Miss Megarry received recogni- tion for this from the King. She was awarded the medal as a serv- ing sister of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. Presentation was made in Ottawa by the Earl of Bessborough, then Govemor-General of Canada.

She has a medal to show shr- graduated from the Gait Hospital

when they were hauled into court. Sometimes these claims had forc- ed them out of business and left them pennlless while customers often had received no compensa- tion for injuries.

Under the new scheme a cus- tomer is required to file his claim 72 hours after an accident in a union shop or the purchase of tainted food.

Mercy Flight lloctor Retires To Fur Farm

ILE A LA CROSSE. Sash. Feb. 4 (CP)-Dr. P. E. Lavole. 68. has sent notice to the Saskatchewan Health Department that he is ending 17 years of emergency nights and trips by snowmobile. car. truck. motorboat. dog team and horseback to patients who live above the bstli parallel in Saskatchewan's north- land.

On March 31, Dr. Lavole will end his practice of medicine and surg- ery at Ile A La Crosse Hospital. Thousands of planes trips as for north as Athabasca Landing earn- ed Dr. Lavoie the name "mercy night doctor."

"Things are different now." he remarked recently. When he ar- rived st Ile A La Crosse. which is about 375 miles north of Regina. gas lanterns were a luxury.

Then. the Ile A La Crosse Hos- pital had no X-ray equipment and was short of nearly everything that s, surgical practitioner required. shortly after taking charge. the doctor had a patient who required a. serious operation. He hadn't had time to gather surgical equipment and there wasn't enough light. But the resourceful Cree Indians ral- lied to contribute extra lamps and needed materials. enabling it suc- cessful operation.

ltsys In North

Now. more than 3.000 bsbles later. Dr. Lsvole is going to retire and start mink ranching so a hob- by. At Fort Black. four miles from He A La Cross. the doctor has spent holidays and other spare days gathering a stock of mink. Dr. Lsvoie says the thing he most: missed in the north was an- other doetor. Many times. being isolated from civilization. lie had been faced with it difficult prob- lem and would have welcomed the viewpoint of another medical man. Dr. Lsvole was graduated from Lsvslvniverslty in Quebec 36 years ago. For a. time he practised medicine in Quebec Province. then. came west.

Through the years. Mrs. Lavoie has raised a family of three boys and one daughter. as well as a Cree boy. recently adopted. At the some time. she kept a light bum- in; in the window for her doctor husband.

over again. It's been a hard l7 years but s grand. worthwhile fllht."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4-(AP)- Joe says: "I put two slugs in a slot at the automat and what do you think came out?"

Mloe: ”I don't know. what?"

Joe: ”The manager."

The Secret,Servlce recalled that old joke yesterday and said it came to life in New York. secret Service told this story:

Robert Mccauley, with a craving for coconut pie and coffee, had been using slugs and counterfeit coins to pay for his meals. His taste -for coconut pic was his un- doing. for Secret Service agents started watching those slots.

When three counterfeit nlckels thudded into the receptacle, the pie popped out and so did the manager. M.cCauiey was convict- pd of counterfeiting.

Then there was the case of a .-ounterteiter in Alabama who made the mistake of passing off a bogus 5&0 bill on a. feri-is wheel operator at a. county fair. The cashier noticed the counterfeit and kept the offender spinning until the cops came.

These are examples of 241 per- sons arrested for counterfeiting last year in the United states. In an annual report, the Secret Ser- vice said 2.30t persons were ar- rested -for cheque and bond for- gory.

These figures compared with 51:! arrested for counterfeiting and 2.635 for forgery last year.

Federal Agents soized s-1.380.832. in counterfeit bills and coins, but only 5448.560 were passed off on' the public.

OTTAWA, Feb. 4-(GP)-E. V.l Rippingille, Jr.. Canada new air-. craft production chief. is pllotingi his production ship with one eye: cocked on the Korean battlefrontl and the other on possible world! markets for Canadian planes.

The Brookfyii. N. Y.. man who became one of North America's master engineers. looks to Korea for the modiflcatioiis nghter alr- craft need to keep on top of the enemy. He looks to world demand to gauge Canada's production.

The 41-year-old president of General Motors Diesel Ltd. Lon- don. 0nt.. loaned to handle the three - year. billion - dollar produc- tion program. has entered on his new job with no illusions. '

"Canada's own aircraft needs are relatively small,” he said in an in- terview. "The others we are plac- ing are educational orders-to pro- vide knowledge and facilities for rapid as amino and production in the event of an emergency."

He described Canada's military aircraft output as a "low rate" of Production. but sufficient to keep abreast of Canadian demand. and demand for some types of Canad- ian aircraft from the United States as well.

Eventually. there may be bids for Canadian planes by other North American countries, but until that demand shows up. the full capac- ity will not be fully utilized.

"Our goal is not built production unless there is need." said the director who still keeps his anger on his diesel plsnt-V at London. "You don't produce more than you need-no matter what you sre building."

But even what Canada is pro- ducing, though relatively small in volume. is bringing out the kind of engineering and construction head- lches Which. by learning to over- come. will give Canada a head start in the event of full produc. tlon.

"There is a tremendous experi- mental ansion going on in go. rea. sal Mr. Iuppingiile. "some- times it' shows that changes in do. Elan have to be made. That cre- stes bottlenecks and slows up'pro- duction." ,

Canada's or-ioo jet. fighter sir. craft is an example. l't..is con- stantly undergoing changes-in el. ectronics. rsdsr equipment and the like. That is slowing up output. It takes so much time to complete modlnostions as it does actual ss- se bly-line production.

ut t ttlenecks and structural changes and flaws and gripes are old stories to the production chief. During the second World Wsr.. he mass-produced in the United States I new-typo of diesel engine that was as complicated and as difficult to construct as any in the world. Hundreds of them were used in sub-chsset-s to crack the enemy's underwater attack. He earned Am- eriosn industry's praise for a job well done.

Production in Canada is going ahead. she is producing -let tighter Sabres. Beaver transport planes for herself and for the United states and other countries. she

In a long list of anecdotes. the agency described the case of Mar- ion J. Williams:

lie was arrested in 1924 for counter-felting. again in 1930. and again in 1943. In prison he dis- cussed counterfeiting art with clher prisoners and got new tips.

In December. 1050. a new and expertly-made bogus S20 bill ap- peared in the midwest. Agents ree- ognlzed Wlllia.m.s' handiwork. These bills and smaller ones, eq-

llcfence Proiccls, Metal Industries llevelop 1952 Boom

orrswa. Feb. 4---ucrs-Cam ads. in the midst of the greatest industrial expansion boom in his- iory, is expected to increase public and private investment in i952 to a, record s.'i.000.000 000.

A detailed survey of govcriiiiietit. and industrial plans for investment in new machinery. equipment. plants and housing during the year was undertaken by the Trade De- partment.

The official estimate will be tabled by Trade Minister Howe when Parliament reopens Feb. 28.

The his: investment emphasis during 1952 is expected to be con- centrated in defence and defence- stipportlng industries. such as in the fields of strategic metals. Ex- perts believe strong support in these fields will help overcome some weakeniiig in such other categories of investment as housini! and llilhi Industry, including textile manu- facturing.

The expected climb to the 35.- 000000.0(i0-mark will mean a 8400.- 000.000 increase over the 54.600.- 000.000 invested during the previ- ous peak year of l9;'il.

But the increase -- S-i00.000.000- likely will be only about one-hall the s800,000 000-juuip recorded dur- inc 1951 when the investment boom climbed to 04.600.000.000 from 33,- 800.000,000.

Peaceiime Record

Adding some stimulus to the general picture is the expected in- crease in the Fedei'alGovernnient's defence budget of 5300 000.000 to a peacetime record of 52.000.000.000 fgom sl.700.000.000 during the 1951- riscal year.

However. experts estimate that defence projects providc onlyaboui 10 per cent of the total investment and industrial expansion. The big

ually deceptive. spread rapidly.

Finally arrested while busy at work in a cabin in the Paclflc' agents:

"1 can't understand it. I sure my bills were so good time that it would be at least two or three years before you'd catch up with me." '
