Todays Thailand is represented by important exports like silk, jewelry, rubber and forest materials. GREAT BRITAIN: A 200'foot tower building - tallest at Expo - with the top Cut craggily and inset with a Union Jack, dominates this site. The buildings are windowless, the plaza without greenery giving the entire pavilion a massive, industrial appearance. Exhibit theme is "The Challenge of Chonge" and how Britain is meeting it on all fronts.

Before coming to Canada in 1920, he farmed in Brittany near the village of Leuhan. At Inco he has been employed in the leaching and calcining department mostly as a telpherman. In 1922 John was married to Jeanne Cevear of Port Colborne. They have three daughters and one son: Marie (Mrs. Ray Hag- gerty of Ridgeway); Denlee (Mrs. Gerald Carpenter, Port Colborne); Elizabeth, the wife of Francis Rankin of the electrolytic department; Yvon of Port Colborne.

"I immediately made up my mind," he told the gathering at his retirement dinner, 'that if I couldn't lick this blindness I wasn't going to let it lick me." He has almost completed the Braille course, is learning to play cribbage and bridge, and is planning training in some useful occupation. He speaks feelingly of the help given by the CNIB. Ron was presented with a beau- tiful hi-fl record player, the presentation at the dinner taking a novel form with the playing of a tape on which many of his old Quakers team-mates in Saskatoon and elsewhere had recorded personal greetings and brief reminis- censes of a humorous twist.

INCO TRIANGLE APRIL, 1967 Geologists are concerned also with the geological work involved In the running of the mining operations. The research requirements of International Nickels exploration and mine geology activities are carried out by its geological and geophysical research men. Mining engineers are required for engineering and production work involved in all stages of mine operation. Some groups of engineers are concerned with planning, mine design, underground construction programs and ground control. Other engineers work with method studies, incentive schemes and the testing of equipment. Those in the production section are responsible for the supervision of men in the mining operations. Metallurgical engineers, chemical engineers and chemists are employed in production, engineering and research work in connection with the Company's processing activities. The running of the concentrators, smelters, refineries and iron ore recovery operations requires the technical skills of a great many engineers who are responsible for the smooth flow of production, the welfare of personnel, the constant updating of production methods and quality Posing for this picture of a famHy Safe'y a'oft on a non slip tread step- Eve'yn has the perking coffee pot in control.

More than 70 nations are putting their best foot forward to tell the story of Man and his World, the theme of the entire exposition. In five theme buildings, as well as in all the national pavilions, the subject is imaginatively explored in all its sweeping aspects, Man the Creator, Man in the Community, Man the Explorer, Man the Pro- ducer, Man the Provider. Expo probes, questions, explains and dramatizes man and his works, from birth to death, cave- man to spaceman, desert nomad to city suburbanite. Never before have so many skills and techniques been pooled to show what man is, what he does, and where he is going.
