And be- Safety Reminders at Copper Refinery lieve me, in the minds of those boys there is no imitation about it. They live th part. Each actually is the man whose name appears on his sweater. Wearing the name, and play- ing before a crowd, they get all the thrills of the big time without having to wait for years 'nd perhaps for ever. What could be dearer to a boy's heart?' Every player in the midget league signs a contract in which he promies to: play clean and hard, keep up his school work, get plenty of sleep, refrain from smoking, and be a good winner or loser. Any infraction of the fve rules means suspension of from one to three games. President and head coach of t!'e league Gordon Alcott, who experimented with boys' hockey at Georgetown and then translated hi ideas into action when he moved to Copper Cliff, A go-getter with a natural flair for boys work, he has the confdence and re;pect of every lad in the organization. He gets valuable assistance from vice-president Jack Newell and secretary-treasurer Bert McLelland, and from the league's advisory committee of W. T. Waterbury, I. J. Simcox, and E. H. Rose. Honorary presidents are Red Dutton, president of the N.H.L., and Vern DeGeer, sports editor of the Toronto Globe and Mail. Satuday morning is midget hockey time at - Copper Cliff's Stanley Stadium. Parents of the boys and people who would like to encour- age this splendid activity should drop in now and then to see the kids in action. And, whais more, they'll find themselves lingering on and on out of sheer enjoyment. Next month Triangle will take its readers to a Saturday morning midget hockey se3sion. C.C.A.A.

The lectures were held in the refuge statiori during 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 and Assistant 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 in stomach wall, foreign body in eye, burns from Eattery solution and other corrosives, removing a man from a stope in a Stokes stretcher, etc. fhere were three sessions in each of the mine's 11 refuge Stations.

ONE WAY OF PUTTING IT • The patient with stomach trouble was told by his doctor that he had been drinking too much and would have to stop. "But," asked the patient, what shall I tell my wife is wrong with 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 looked the word up in the dictiomry, which defined syncopation" as irregular movement from bar to bar.'

GEoLoGIsTs 4 MONTHS IN R UGGED YUKON Captained by R. J, (Jake) MacNeifl, a party k 0 INCO geologists returned to Copper Cliff on October 2 after spending four months in exploration and mapping of an area on the border between British Columbia and Yukon Other members 0f the g:oup were Ken Robert- son, who has returned to his studies at the University of Saskatchewan, and Don Robert- on (no relation) who is back at Queens Uni- ersity. At Teslin, Yukon, they were joined by their Indian guide and mascot, Watson Smartch, Flying in to Whitehorse from Edmonton. the party picked up the two specially equipped trucks which INCO geologists used in similar work last yeAr, obtained provisions, and took eff for the ruggedly beautiful wilds of the ukon.

Herman started at Frood in January of 1936, and a year later he was married at Coniston to Sarah Gamelin. They have one son, Aurel, who would be a pretty fair little gun-layer himself if he could fire shells as fast as he can shoot questions at his petty-officer dad. Back at Frood, timbering on 1800 level, Herman has high praise for the Company's program of reinstatement for its employees on their return from the services, and for the manner in which the Personnel Department is handling this big assignment. The picture shows him with a souvenir he picked up in Ceylon. That souvenir, he says with a sigh of satisfaction, is just about as close as he wants to be to Ceylon, or any other place but Sudbury, for a long, long time. Home is the sailor, and very glad of it.

Shipping Dept. Has Important r- ..•i Assignment

Electrolytic nickel produced at Port Colborne '* Refinery is shipped either loose, racked, or packed In barrels, by truck and by train. The important assignment of getting it out smoothly and promptly is handled by the Shipping De- partment, which has built up an excellent re- putation for efficiency, particularly during the five years of high-pressure war production. . In the accompanying layout are pictured some of the steps in the shipping of refined: ncke[. 1. Four-inch squares of the gleaming finished product drop from the cutting machines and are packed in kegs by a crew composed of Lucien LeBlanc, Rosaire Beauregard, Pete Ochrimuk Bernard McConnell, and Oliva Plouffe. Other sizes in which refined nickel is shipped include shot, lxi, 9x9, and 12x27. Kegs make easier handling on smaller orders. 2. Each and every keg is weighed on scales 4 which can handle up to 2,625 lbs. George J ukosky is seen marking a keg with its gross weight (648 lbs.) and also the weight oi the keg irad head (32 lbs.) In the background is pirt of the stockpile of refined nickel at pre- sent largest in the Company's history, awaiting industry s reconversion from war to peace. 3. Some shipments of larger-sized nickel squares are packed in special racks, slung aboard trucks, and driven to the American side of the Peace Bridge where they are transferred to other trucks for delivery direct to the big consumers. In this picture 9x9 nickel from the cutter is being racked by Ernie Riendeau, Ber- nard McConnell, Rosaire Beauregard, Pete Ochrimuk, and Oliva Plouffe. Each loaded r.tck weighs between 8000 and 9,000 lbs. 4. This shipment of loose 4x4 nickel is being checked out on the yard wales by Chief Jock Hamilton, and is probably destined for one of the big steel mills like Republic, Bethlehem, or Carnegie. Maybe you don't believe us but there's 20.000 lbs. of nickel in that modest- looking load. Trucker ready for the take-off Gerald Welch of Wallace Transport. If necessary his truck can handle 40.000 bs. 5. When shipment is made by rail the racks •f sheared nickel, in this case 1 2x7, are picked up by the cr1ne placed on buggies, wheeled through a door in the side of the building into freight c,r, md dumped. The rack carries bout 5500 lbs. ot nickel, the freight car ihout 100,000 lbs.

CONISTON YEAR BOOK Well written, liberally illustrated, and gener- ously supported by advertisers, the C.CS. Hi- Lites" annual, published by Coniston Continua. tion School this year, is a credit to the editorial staff and the school as a whole. Mis3 F. Joy, now on the staff of the Hunts- ville High School, was honorary editor of the publication; George S.

An honour roll of C.C.S. boys, with pictures and biographical sketches, is a well-planned tribute to their service to their country in the war. Short stories, essay3, poems, school news. nessages from alumni, and an illustrated article by Viano Koski on the process of smelting nickel, are features of the book.

Now 84, fit as a fiddle, and enjoying life 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, fr 1861, Tom Smith hardened young muscles in '' the lumber camps on the Ottawa River, where you drew 88.00 a month and furnished your own dish and spoon. He got his first expert - ence with mining in the phosphate mines '- around Buckingham, joined the trek to the iron deposits in Michigan in 1884, and remained there until 893, by whtch time he had become master mechanic of the Mastoden iron Co. ,,,-l h,.l -. .1 ,-i... mond drilling MISTAKEN IDENTITY His first contact with the Sudbury district , Professor: "Here you see the skull of a tias in 1894 when he arrived with a diamond ' - -. chimpanzee, a very rare specimen.

Early in 1902 he received a letter from the Cleveland office of the Canadian Copper Co., asking for a quotation on 2,000 ft. of drilling in the Sudbury district, and on May 15 the - deal was closed with President A. P. Turner. * Tom Smith arrived in Sudbury on May 23 and rode horseback through a snowstorm to Copper Cliff where "Cap" Lawson informed him that his assignment was at Creighton Open Pit, then producing about 200 tons of ore a day. His first drill hole showed 300 ft. of ore, and there was great jubilation.
