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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Busy Season For Maritime Ports PrctlictcdBycllll HALIFAX. Feb. 4-"The Marl- time ports are coin! to Cnloy 009 of the busiest seasons in many years this winter for both export and import traffic." 5. W. Firlotte. Montreal superintendent. of export traffic. Canadian Nation- al Railways. said here. He is on an inspection visit to Sydney. Hali- fax, Saint John. Moncton. Ed- rnuiidston and Campbellton and in- termediate points through the Meritimes. Approximately 3400.000 bushels of grain were enroute to the Marl- time norts from the lakehead daily. said Mr. Firlotte. "About l50 car- loads were shipped from the lake- head each day and that represent- ed approximately L600 to 1,700 on their way to the Atlantic ports. There was every indication that the 25,000,000 bushels of grain pre- dicted for the Maritime ports would be greatly exceeded. ,, Frliish Trade "Unfortunately. we don't know how seriously Prime Minister Chur- ohil's austerity budget will hurt our Canadian trade." said Mr. Firlotie. We have assurances that the ef- fect will not be so bad on the majority of Canadian commodities shipped to Britain. Export traffic to Britain at the present time is very good and there has been no immediate indication that there will be any change." Recent restoration of the second car ferry Scotls 1'. on service across the Strait of Canso after extensive repairs, he said, would be a boon to Cape Breton traffic. It would permit the handling of approxim- ately 20 empty and loaded freiaht cars daily. The Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation were plan- ning to immediately increase their present shipments of 45 cars of steel and to despatch 175 cars of coal a day. The Flastern Car Coninany at New Glasgow are presently turn- ing out boxoars for the Newfound- land district of the Canadian Na- tional and they are being shipped as quickly as pomible. Mr. Flrlotte said. They would be of great value in helping to speed up the move- ment of traffic. in Newfoundland.
