Jack Griffith was unavailable s George Chase, with accustomec versatility became the "pinch- hitting" nominee. This brough further embarrassment for the member chosen to introduce the speaker, none other than grand. father Len Elliott. With notes assembled to introduce Mr. Grif- fith, Len confessed he had to change his tactics. He told thai George, as a long time friend, was known to be a fine camping pal a good fisherman at the oars of a boat, a good cook and a good Geo. E. Chase "mixer" who said what was on his mind and let the chips fall as they may. He was also an able and informed speaker. The subject dealt with by Mr. Chase was "Electronics at Work" and iow this new science fitfed into the war effort and ifs promise for the future. As manager of the local Public Utilities Commission and having a lifetime association with things electrical, the speaker held absorbed attention while de- lineating the practical application of electronics in today's civiliza- tion. The subject was presented in five phases; the power of elec- tronics to (1) rectify, (2) amplify, (3) generate, (4) control, (5) transform light into electric cur- rent and, (6).vice versa. With limited knowledge of the science and technical terms involved, the reporter struggled to overcome the static hovering about the heads present and came up for air with the following summary. For War and Peace Mr. Chase explained that elec- tronics is a science that applies electronic tubes to the service of man, to speeding production for winning the war and of assuring higher standards of living for the future. Having but a single, small tube as a sarnple and no charts, the speaker had to rely largely on the spoken word to register his message. The tube was called a diode, a typical two- element "doodad" resembling in operation an ordinary single-pole ectronics of Rotarians - switch for connection with a bat- I tery and its motor. One power n lead goes to the anode, the other d to the cathode. These correspond e contacts on a switch. Open, the contacts are insulated; to k close simply heat the cathode giv- o ink the anode a positive potential. d Emitting negatively charged - electrons from the surface of the heated cathode, they fly at tre- e mendous speed to the anode. Thus e a current-carrying path is form- - ed which closes the electronic s switch and permits the motor to operate. To those who ask: "if an electronic tube is basically a sort of switch, why is electronics s considered the technique in a new engineering era?" The answer is found in a review of the six basic things enumerated above and what this new switch can do in relation thereto. Used in Rectifying First, current can be rectified, converting AC to DC and the re- sultant was explained by the speaker. The application was manifold. Changing AC to DC on electrified transportation systems is an important job being per- formed by electronie rectifying equipment. Electroplating is revoiutionized, possible only with direct current. Steel mills apply it for driving variable-speed motors operating giant ladles. It has facilitated record-breaking quantities of aluminum through an Ignitron Rectifier and magnes- ium from sea water is another achievement. Vastly important, too, is a de- vice called the Precopitron for cleaning air electrostatically in industrial plants, etc., where in assembly of delicate instruments and in aerial photography, a speck of dust would destroy accuracy and clear plates that give exact detail of enemy positions and in- stallations. Correlative with this is electronie amplification permit- ting radio and radio-telephonic contact between planes and con- trol stations, between ships and bases afloat and ashore and even between tanks and corps head- quarters. Night fliers can turn an seadrome lights by radio signal. Dynetric balancing becomes pos- sible for airplane crankshafts and overcoming vibration. Amplifying and Generating Beyond rectifying and amplify- ing it can also generate and be- comes capable of changing DC to AC and produce frequencies far beyond the range of ordinary ro- tating equipment. In this appli- cation we find it in the radio transmitter and the stepping up of electronie tin plating. And dielectric heating per mits speedier bonding of plywood sec- sions for propellers, etc., also the curing of thick plastic forms now takes minutes instead of hours. Its use permits speed in clearing transmission unes of faults for- merly cleared by linemen climb- ing poles and the load-carrying ability of power systems is in- creased 50 per cent or more. The fourth basic use is ability to control the flow of power by electronic means, involving func- tions of temperature, speed and time. Split-second timing and minute precision can be applied for manifold purposes and plane parts today are literally sewn to- gether with electric current as thread, and precision machine op- (Continued on page five) Newcastle Horticultural Soc.

H. Knight had been called so swiftly away from his lifelong as- sociations of his native town. Suffering a sudden attack he fail- ed to rally under the best of medical attention and passed painlessly and peacefully away within a few hours. Known to everyone as "Tommy" Knight, his lifelong story was one continuous success in business with strict adherence ta the highest in business pnin- ciples, always with the generosity of the open hand to those less successful, a friend to the needyi and a member of the community who gave unstintingly of valued services to town affairs, curch, f raternal aranizations, service clubs and the general good of the people. His characterand citizen- ship was summed up by a Rotary associate who said: "Tommy had the Boy Scout spirit of a good deed every day and few knew of the good he did for he was never one to boast." Born in Bowmanville, Nov. 18, 1874, Mr. Knight was a son of the late William and Ann Colville Knight. Completing his educa- tion at public school he choose the grocery trade as a business and served his apprenticeship with the late J. B. Martyn. Later he sought further experience at Owen Sound and returning to Bowmanville he opened his own grocery in the premises now occu- pied by the Morris Chapel. He chose the name "Model Grocery" with quality and service as the keynote and neatness and cleanli- ness was so meticulously observed that the store became known as one of the finest in the province. He established the first "cash and carry" system in town. He pur- chased the property now occupied by the A. & P. and leased the building to that company when he retired from the trade to open the insurance agency which he conducted until his death. In community affairs Mr. Knight was the first Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, a former member of the Town Council, member of the Board of Managers of St. Paul's United Church, member of the Masonic and Oddfellows Lodges and a charter member of the Rotary0 Club.
