Coal Industry By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor What is being done to maintain sale! of Nova Scotia coal at about the present 6.000. tons,s year, to try to increase them to 5,000,000 mm and wipe out the threat of a drop to 3,000,000 tons? Possibly the most significant thing is happening in a research plant at Ste. Anne de Bellevuc. Que. Within there years, it may de- vclop a coal-fired gas turbine loco- motive.whIch on long and heavy hauls could displace the diesel locomotive. out of there may also come a ,.o,,1-1ired plant to bring increased electric power at reasonable cost us communities outside the range of large power systems-such com- munities, for instance, as those on Prince Edward Island. The reseach. started in 1950. is financed by the federal department of mines and technical surveys and is under direction of Prof. 'D. L. Mordell of Mccviil University who pioneered similar research in Brit- n. l1Prof. Mordell says he believed a locomotive can be put on the tracks within thrce years. The coal able faith in this work and hopes it can bring results before tip rail- ways are committeed too far ahead to diesel capital expenditure. Another important development is that coal companies, widely charged with having taken markets for granted and neglecting the householder customer, have atarted aggressive selling drives. COMPETING WITH OIL Nova Scotians are being urged to stick with coal, the source of much of their living, or to convert back to coal from oil. Coal is being carefully graded and coal-burning appliances developed to approxi- mate the convenience of oil. The campaign is making a bid for the business of more than 80,- 000 homes in the Maritlmcs which This summer, Nova Scotians picked up thousands of neatly packaged 20-pound bags of coal for use in esummer cottages, just be- cause they were made easily avail- able at stores and other outlets- a small item in tons, perhops but still part of the campaign. Suggestions for use of Nova Sco- lia coal include manufacture of gas at the mines and its transporta- tion by pipeline as far west as industry has consider-. from coal; and the breaking down of coal into valuable chemical by- products. So far. no one has been able to make a case for such processes that justifies the investment. sunoma Economy Perhaps the most vibrant prom- ise for the future of Nova Scotis coal is in the dynamic atmosphere prevailing through most of the province. It almost obscures, the seriousness of the coal problems. even in the coal areas. Transportation jobs such as the Cause causeway, connecting the mainland and Cape Breton island and a. new bridge across Halifax harbor promise to transform large areas. Mineral exploration and forest surveys appear to promise great developments. One hears, too, pos- sible establlshment of new major industries, some from Europe, any one of which would send a surge of growth through the province. Halifax has doubled its popula- tion within a comparatively short time and is barely recognizable to a Hallgonian of a few years back. Cape Breton island, the big pro- ducer of Nova Scotia coal, is-in the words of a Cape Eretoner-no longer a Jumping-off place, but. with entry of Newfoundland into confederation, a central location in the Atlantic provinces. LOOKING TO FUTURE The future of Sydney, population 33,000, seems assured as a steel manufacturing centre, although it would be hard hit by any severe decline in coal production. The future of at least some Cape Breton mining towns seems reas- onably saie even with a production cut. Several mining towns are try- ing to develop new industries, in- Cllldlflg fishing. Among mainland producers, Springhill in Cumberland county with a population of 7,000, also seems assured of a future as a coal producer. Pictou county, however, faces difficult adjustments in its coal areas. A one-lime force of more than 2,000 miners now is down to about 900, and may drop to 650 this fall.

COAL IN RESERVE , Pictou county has further cozill reserves which could be opened up, but chances are not favorable for any one putting up the money now.l Ninety per cent of the people of Westville own their own homes and Stcllzirinii figures are close to that.

Highlighting the morning ses- sion were addresses by Rev. Dr. E. J. 0. Fraser. a missionary from Korea, and two of the commis- sioners to general council, Rev. J M. Fraser and Rev. A. F. Mac- Lean. Dr. Fraser spoke on. 1-Orgari- lzational set up of the mission work in Korea; 2-The faithful- ness of the Christians In Korea; 3-Educational institutions; 4- Chaplalncy to the armed forces. The latter point was particular- ly emphasized as being the one bright spot in the whole mission- ary piciure of Korea. CHURCH IN KOREA 300 well trained rlergymen of both Protestant and Roman Cath- olice faiths were ministering to the members of the armed forces. who in turn, go to their homes and inculcate the principles of the Christian religion. These members of the forces are the backbone of the future church in Korea. l')r. Fraser spoke also of the im- porlanrc of the Christian ministry in hospital practice-appealing for prayers and continued interest in the mission to Korea. Rev. J. M. Fraser and Rev. A. Frank MacLean addressed the court on the highlights of general council recently meeting at Sack- ville, N. B.. both stressed the need of ministers, deaconcsses, and nurses in the work of the church and its various avenues of service. Mr. MacLean noted the strength of the growing church and spoke of the influence of the church up- on laivlcss communities. He also stated there is a tendency on the part. of many even in the church to treat man as an animal. to minister to the economic material- He replied: ”Yes, but how much mm-r can: a small community absorb?"

We hold also, that total nhstinence is a derivative from this obedience. the import- ance of which is due largely to the social and economic situation of our civilization, and by no means expressly stated In the New Testament. Therefore. we would re-affirm our support of the church's voluntary total ab- stinence program. as being in full accord with the teaching laid down in the New Testament, and in conformity with the general sentiment of the best thinkers of the whole church in every age. We further recommend to church sessions that they give careful thought to the total meaning and significance of church member- ship, including their attitude to alcohol and All other moral proo- lcms. A resolution by Mr. L. R. Allen was passed dealing with Lord's Day violations. Whereas, there is an increasing tendency in various sections of this province to pro- mote Sunday sports. particularly ball games. and whereas this practice is contrary to the tradi- tlons and teachings of Protestant denominations, be it therefore re- solved that this meeting of the P.

The prospect is drugs which would prevent cancer cells from dividing and forming two new can- cer cells. Cancer is bad because cancer cells keep dividing and di- viding without control. Chemicals which prevent some kinds of cell divisions are being produced here at the Marine Biolo- gical Labratory by Dr. L. V. Hell- brunn, zoologist of the University of Pennsylvania. They will be tested this winter to see what effect they have against cancer in mice. The chemi- cals come, oddly enough, from the ovaries of starfish, chickens, dogs and turtles. Ovaries are the store- houses of the eggs for new ani- mal life. DIVIDING CELLS CLOT The story concerns a main phase of Dr. Heilbrunns researches-to learn what kind of engine is the living cell. The interior of a cell is fluid, made of protoplasm. Studying cell division or splitting into new,ceil.s, Dr. I-Ieilbrunn finds that it first starts clotting or jeliying for a time. The clotting is apparently caused by the release of calcium into the Is by Drug vision of cells of higher organisms, such as the mouse. Yet Dr. I-Ieilbrunn find: evidence of powewrful anti-division chemi- cals in the ovaries of many. and perhaps all, animals. So extracts are being made from the ovaries of chickens, dogs and turtles. These will be tested against one form of cancer in mice, Eh.riicJi's ascites tumor, in which cancer cells grow in a mass of fluid. He- parin shows some little ability to stop these cancer cells from divid- ing. The extracts will be compared with heparin in see if one or more of them is better at throwing a. monkey wrench into cancer cells. Vishiiisliy-gglt-s To Clarify His Disarmament Plan UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CF)- Andrei Vishinsky talked for nearly two hours Monday to clarify the Soviet attitude toward world dis- armament and to re-emphasize Russia's desire for peaceful coex- istence. In a mildly-delivered speech to the UN's 60-member political com- mittee. the chief Russian delegate cell. This calcium is normally bound up in the cortex or outer: ring structure of the cell. And he finds that anything which can prevent the initial clot- ting actlon inside the cell will also halt or prevent cell division. 'I'here- ; in lips the cancer clue. l Cells, he reasons, are something; like human blood in this clotting action initiated by calcium. One potent drug which thins the blood and acts as an anti-clotting agent is heparin. Heparin can also halt cell division, but the molecule of heparin is too large to enter in- side many kinds of cells. - STARFISH EXTRACT Then Dr. Heiibrunn discovered heparin-like chemicals in the over- ies of some kinds of fish. These substances also can prevent the initial clotting of a cell, and so halt cell division. One such extract was obtained from the ovaries of starfish. The starfish must release its eggs into the sea water in order for them to start dividing and growing to, form ll. new starfish. While the, eggs are still in the ovary. some chemical acts to keep them from dividing.

The questions came in Monday morning's committee meeting from Britain's Seiwyn Lloyd and Jules Much of France. Essentially they asked just how close to the Anglo-French position was the Soviet disarmament pro- posal, based as it is on the Ansle- French disarmament p r o p o s a I made last June. In his speech Vishinsky made these key points: 1. Russia now is ready to start the disarmament program with re- duction of armies and conventional armaments rather than first insist- ing on an unconditional banning of nuclear weapons. 2. Prohibition of nuclear weap- ons can come in the se'cond stage of the comprehensive disarmament program, after a control agency has been established. The weap- ons' ban and the start of the agency's work can be simultane- 0115. 3. The authority of the control organ must be limited in so far as it can not have such authority as to close an atomic plant. Such authority rests solely with the UN" security council, where Russia, as one of the five great powers, has a vein.
