Electric Eye isSmoke Detector

Fire protection for employees clothing in theL'.OEO individual steel lockers in the Copper'Cliff changehouse includes an electric eyesystem for smoke detection which is unique inCanadian industry.

Two big fans draw drying air through thelockers, and out through dncts into two con-rete tunnels each 120 ft. long, running the

length of the changehouse. Prior to installa-tion of the smoke detection arrangement it wasfound that fire originating in the clothing inone locker could spread to a considerable ex-tent before being discovered endangering thecontents of an entire bank of 40 lockers.

After numerous experiments using actualfires in clothing in different lockers the Com-pany's electrical department in co-operation'with the fire inspector, worked out the novelelectric eye system. A balanced phototube cir-cuit is maintained in each of the concretetunnels, a beam of light reflecting from photo.tubes at one end to small mirrors at the other.When any smoke or other foreign matter entersthe tunnel through the ducts, the light beamis broken and a recording instrument in theFirst Aid room automatically pulls a relaywhich shuts off the ventilating fans and soundsan alarm. An investigation is made at once.

Operation of the system is complicated bydust and in 24 hours there may be four or'five false alarms during the periods when themen are changing clothing but this incon-venience is more than offset by the efficiency of'the unit in detecting fires which usually occurcne to two hours after the men have beenat the lockers.

The accompanying picture is one of thephototube installations which might be calledan electric nose rather than an electric eye inview of the way it sniffs out tell-tale smoke.

Here is one of the most importani Iactorin the success of the midget loop, Mr. Rose:old the radio audience. 'Just Is the' teams,ire named after big-league teams, and wearuniforms which duplicate the big-league uni-forms. so also does each boy wear on hisweatr thc nAme of i big-league player.

You'll see Syl Apps, Toe Blake, Brimsek ormy of the tither big names out there on the'ice, skating very competently, handling thepuck neatly, making plays for their team-matesinste:id of trying to star individually, and ingeneral putting on an exhibition of skill, con-fdence and speed which would bring a glowro the heart of Red Dutton himself. And be-lieve me, in the minds of those boys there isno imitation about it. They live th part.Each actually is the man whose name appearson his sweater. Wearing the name, and play-ing before a crowd, they get all the thrills ofthe big time without having to wait for years'nd perhaps for ever. What could be dearerto a boy's heart?'

Every player in the midget league signs acontract in which he promies to: play cleanand hard, keep up his school work, get plentyof sleep, refrain from smoking, and be a goodwinner or loser. Any infraction of the fverules means suspension of from one to threegames.

President and head coach of t!'e leagueGordon Alcott, who experimented with boys'hockey at Georgetown and then translated hiideas into action when he moved to CopperCliff, A go-getter with a natural flair for boyswork, he has the confdence and re;pect ofevery lad in the organization. He gets valuableassistance from vice-president Jack Newell andsecretary-treasurer Bert McLelland, and fromthe league's advisory committee of W. T.Waterbury, I. J. Simcox, and E. H. Rose.Honorary presidents are Red Dutton, presidentof the N.H.L., and Vern DeGeer, sports editorof the Toronto Globe and Mail.

Satuday morning is midget hockey time at -Copper Cliff's Stanley Stadium. Parents ofthe boys and people who would like to encour-age this splendid activity should drop in nowand then to see the kids in action. And, whaismore, they'll find themselves lingering on andon out of sheer enjoyment.

Hot Pace InRyan Race

Garson, Creighton, and Levack minesat the end of September had improvedtheir accident frequencies in the RyanAward race over figures for August,although there was no change in thestanding.

With 6.01 accidents for every 1,000men employed, Garson had made a frac.tional gain over its 6.46 rating at theend 0f August, Creighton showed a sub.stantial improvement from 7.28 to 6.73,and Levack was down from 9.17 to 8.57.Frood, rated at 9.35 on August 31, was9.36 on September 30.

A review of accident ratings for theProvince of Ontario reveals that thefrequencies for all INCO mines are thebest in the province. Whether or notone or all of them will stand up againstDominion.wide competition at the year'send for the mine safety championshipof Canada is the burning question.

The train seas a cross'country affair thatstopped at 111 stations and frequently severaltimes in between, Toward the end of a verylong journey the conductor came around.

"Look here, sir," he said to one of thepassengers as he examined his tickets, ''thatboy is too big to travel half-fare,"

"Is he really?" replied the passenger quietly."Well, he was small enough when we started,"

First Aid at"UndergroundUniversity"

Recently completed it Frood Mine was

series of underground lectures n Frst Aidwhich commenced last July nnd took in allpersonnel in the mne.

The lectures were held in the refuge statioriduring lunch hour, providing interesting diver-sion as well as valuable instruction for the men.Professors" in chnrge o this subterranean

school were Safety Engineer Tom Kierans andAssistant Safety Egineer Rny Davis.

Based on the St. John Ambulance handbook.the Iecture5 covered treatment for shock.arterial bleeding, fractures, artificial respira-tion, internal haemorrhage, unconsciousness,fiactured skull, fractured spine, wound instomach wall, foreign body in eye, burns fromEattery solution and other corrosives, removinga man from a stope in a Stokes stretcher, etc.fhere were three sessions in each of the mine's11 refuge Stations.

In the three accompanying photos are scenestypical of the highly successful series. A demonstration of artificial respiration i picturedin the top shot, with Jerry Oke acting as thepatient and AIf Lee applying the pressure inthe proper places. The boys have swappedplaces for the second picture, in which Jerryapplies a tourniquet to AIf's leg, and in thethird shot . First Aid team of Jerry Oke, BillGarbolinski, Frank Liso5ki, and George Mc-Dougall carefully places Aif in a Stokesstretcher for trnnsit to surface from the stopewhere he is assumed to have been injured.

The pictures were taken during a First Aidsession in the refuge station on 1800 LevelSouth. Among the men from GeorgeMoretto's shift following the demonstrationswith keen Interest are seen Roy Frost, EliBimm, Vic Brunt. Andy Lajac, Art Cox, JackKunto, Harris Sage, Dan Tepshich, WalterGermaine, Andy Brndiar, Ivan Gregg, FredLafleur, Eddy Clement, Ivan Sambol.

Atthe right of the audience in the second picture,standing, is Safety Engineer Kierans.

The lectures were another example of co-operauon between men and supervision towardthe common good.

ONE WAY OF PUTTING IT

• The patient with stomach trouble was toldby his doctor that he had been drinking toomuch and would have to stop. "But," askedthe patient, what shall I tell my wife is wrongwith me?'

'Oh," said the doctor after a little thought'tell her you are suffering from syncopation.That should satisfy her.'

The patient did. 'What is syncopation?'asked hi. wife,

1 don't know,' he answered, but that's'hat the doctor told me.'

When her husband had gone, she lookedthe word up in the dictiomry, which definedsyncopation" as irregular movement from

bar to bar.'

It was a bit-e terly cold February night, with very high seasf running. Herman won't soon forget it.d These and dozens of other close shaves were

the lot of the former Frood timberman, whof seemed always to be about half a jump aheadd cf fate. He was eight months without leave

as gun-layer aboard the Norwegian ship Bra-0 ganza, which was manned by a roughneck crewe who made four attempts to sabotage her and

finally succeeded by throwing sand in her1 Diesels. He was in Alexandria when Rommell

was breathing right down Montgomery's neck,and evacuated to Port Said sitting on top ofa passenger train which received lome very

- unwelcome attention from the German airforce. He came through it all unscathed.except for a slight impairment to his hearingfrom the pounding of the guns he often hadto man alone.

One day, when he had shore leave in New- York, he went to call on International NickelF a' 67 Wall St., just for old time's sake. HeI was ushered in to see W. F. Mundy, received

a warm welcome, and was amazed when, in• the twinkling of an eye, that gentleman pro-

duced a complete copy of his record at Frood.• They talked about the mine and about Sud-

bury, and Herman came away convinced thata man is a lot more than a number when he'swith INCO.

Herman started at Frood in January of 1936,and a year later he was married at Conistonto Sarah Gamelin. They have one son, Aurel,who would be a pretty fair little gun-layerhimself if he could fire shells as fast as hecan shoot questions at his petty-officer dad.

Back at Frood, timbering on 1800 level,Herman has high praise for the Company'sprogram of reinstatement for its employees ontheir return from the services, and for themanner in which the Personnel Departmentis handling this big assignment.

The picture shows him with a souvenir hepicked up in Ceylon. That souvenir, he sayswith a sigh of satisfaction, is just about asclose as he wants to be to Ceylon, or any otherplace but Sudbury, for a long, long time.Home is the sailor, and very glad of it.

Daddy: "Well, that's taking care of thehousing problem, But what about children?Have you thought of that?"

Shipping Dept.Has ImportantAssignment

Electrolytic nickel produced at Port ColborneRefinery is shipped either loose, racked, orpacked In barrels, by truck and by train. Theimportant assignment of getting it out smoothlyand promptly is handled by the Shipping De-partment, which has built up an excellent re-putation for efficiency, particularly during thefive years of high-pressure war production.

In the accompanying layout are picturedsome of the steps in the shipping of refined:ncke[.

1. Four-inch squares of the gleaming finishedproduct drop from the cutting machines andare packed in kegs by a crew composed ofLucien LeBlanc, Rosaire Beauregard, PeteOchrimuk Bernard McConnell, and OlivaPlouffe. Other sizes in which refined nickel isshipped include shot, lxi, 9x9, and 12x27.Kegs make easier handling on smaller orders.

2. Each and every keg is weighed on scales 4which can handle up to 2,625 lbs. GeorgeJ ukosky is seen marking a keg with its grossweight (648 lbs.) and also the weight oi thekeg irad head (32 lbs.) In the background ispirt of the stockpile of refined nickel at pre-sent largest in the Company's history, awaitingindustry s reconversion from war to peace.

3. Some shipments of larger-sized nickelsquares are packed in special racks, slungaboard trucks, and driven to the American sideof the Peace Bridge where they are transferredto other trucks for delivery direct to the bigconsumers. In this picture 9x9 nickel from thecutter is being racked by Ernie Riendeau, Ber-nard McConnell, Rosaire Beauregard, PeteOchrimuk, and Oliva Plouffe. Each loadedr.tck weighs between 8000 and 9,000 lbs.

4. This shipment of loose 4x4 nickel is beingchecked out on the yard wales by Chief JockHamilton, and is probably destined for one ofthe big steel mills like Republic, Bethlehem, orCarnegie. Maybe you don't believe us butthere's 20.000 lbs. of nickel in that modest-looking load. Trucker ready for the take-off

T E. SMITH WAS CANADA'S FIRSTDIAMOND DRILLING CONTRACTOR

A "Grand Old Man of mining is Thomas E. Smith of Sudbury, who was the

first Canadian diamond drilling contractor. Now 84, fit as a fiddle, and enjoyinglife hugely. he looks back on a 50-year association with the development of the

mining industry in this district.

Born at Buckingham, Quebec, on March 7, fr1861, Tom Smith hardened young muscles in ''the lumber camps on the Ottawa River, whereyou drew 88.00 a month and furnished yourown dish and spoon. He got his first expert -ence with mining in the phosphate mines '-around Buckingham, joined the trek to the irondeposits in Michigan in 1884, and remainedthere until 893, by whtch time he had becomemaster mechanic of the Mastoden iron Co.,,,-l h,.l -. .1 ,-i...
