THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1940 ° RESEARCH GOUNGIL LEADS SCIENTIFIC WORK DURING WAR time Woik to Solve War Chemists Abandon Peace- Problems Born and conceived during the last great war to compete against a scientically highly-developed enemy power, the National Research Council of Canada was ready and equipped to renew the struggle against the same enemy at the start of the present conflict. Virtually overnight scientists of the Research Council, with a min- imum of apparent effort that sug- gested careful planning and pre- paredness, abandoned their peace- time pursuits to bend all efforts to= wards greater efficiency in the war effort. In many cases, however, peacetime activities were found to be closely related to problems arjs- ing out of wan. . New well over 80 per cent. of the Council's work is directly con- nected with thewwar. Hundreds of prejecis, testdh examinations and studies haves been undertaken. Valuable nce is rendered to the Department of itions and Supply in wégards thé" equivalency of British and Canadian specifis cations. . So that no valuable war inven- tion would be pigeon-holed, a spe- ¢ial inventions' board *was set up to examine innumerable ideas and inventions, which pour in upon the government at the rate of about 300 per month. > In the mechanical engineering laboratories, with equipment for the study of #aeronautical and hy- drodynamical problerhs, every war day is crowded with new research, Wind tunnels, engine testing ap- paratus, model-testing basins for water crafts, are used for scores of studies on fighter aircraft, tests of fuel, plane engines, flying in- struments, minesweepers, corvettes and other craft of the Canadian Navy. A modern building to house aero- dynamics laboratories is being rush- ed to completion. Planned by the Council when Major-General G. L. MacNaughton was its president and inspiration, this new laboratory; of great importance in a war of aerial combat, has been espoused by Dean C. J. Mackenzie, acting president of the Research Council, as a favorite enterprise. The physics division has ren- dered particularly useful service through its metrology section, where a gauge testing laboratory has been set up. A supply of gauges, ac- curately tested and verified, has been built up and made available for industrial plants engaged in the production of munitions and war equipment. | The attention of experts, in the | chemistry section, is focused on numerous problems on war sup- | plies, the subjects ranging from | gas masks and airplane de-icers to | textiles and alloys. FORD ANNOUNCES SPECIAL SERIES Windsor, Oct. 17. -- A "special" series of passenger cars designed to provide adequate transportation but with' prices set to fit wartime bud- gets, is announced today by Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limit- ed The special series is in three TBA | message. types, coupe, tudor sedan and for- dor sedan. Despite generally great- er increases in automobile prices in Canada this year, the Ford special series is priced at factory only $30 above last year's standard Ford on the coupe and Tudor, and the in- crease is but $26 on the fordor. "Out special series retains all the mechanical features and perform- ance advantages of our regular de- luxe and super-deluxe cars, includ- | ing the 85-horsepower V-8 engine. Since the special series is de- signed to be a transportation unit certain luxury features are not of- fered," explained R. M. Sale, sales manager of the Canadian Ford Company. He said the special d cars are intended to meet the needs of cer- tain fleet owners, salesmen, farm- ers and others who require new cars but whose budgets in war- time do not provide for other than low-cost transportation.

Training Camp Deseronto, Oct. 17--Anocher air camp for the Empire Air Training Scheme is nearing compietion ra- pidly on the site of the old Mohawk Air Camp, where many famous Canadian fliers of the last war re- ceived their training. The camp is the third air base to be constructed in the area since the beginning of the war, During the Great War, Camp Mo- hawk was one of the largest air | training bases of the Royal -Flying Corps. It was ghandoned at the end of the war and the centre moved to Camp Borden, The former camp was established in 1917 when near- ly 1,000 men were moved to Deser- onto for training. Surveyors and engineers who, sur- | ago | expressed the opinion the site would make an ideal landing field. The area for the landing field is part of the Mohawk Indian Reserve and is about two miles west of the town. During the last war five squad- rons of airmen were stationed at the Mohawk Camp, while another three squadrons were stationed at a second field, Camp Rathburn, at the northern edge of Deseronto. The work carried on at Mohawk Camp was mainly technical and little ac- tual flying was done. So far no word has been received here re- garding the type of training to be given. The field stretches for about four miles and is about three-quarters of a mile wide. The land itself is of Interment was made at Yelverton | Cemetery.
