HARKNESS, appointed to the Pickering and District High School Board for a two year term. Mr. Harkness will represent Ajax on the board. He has long been active in com- munity affairs here. A former Defence Industries Ltd. employee he also served 2% years in the RCN and is now office manager for Dominion Viscose Ltd. Ajax. SCHOOL BOARD APPOINTMENTS ALEX RUSSELL has been ap- pointed to the Pickering and Dis- trict High Sehool Board for a three year term. He will repre- sent the Improvement Distrit of Ajax. Mr. Russell has been con- cerned with this new town al- most since the first sod was turned for the Defence Indus- tries munition plant. He served throughout the war years as per- sonnel director. At the wars end, Mr. Russell transferred to the University of Toronto (Ajax Di- vision) and when the. university closed its operations here, he re- mained on their staff in Toronto as Assistant Superintendent of Grounds and Bulldings. His vast experience will be mcst valuable to the High School Board. Few Complaints Reaching Ajax Police Department AJAX -- For some weeks now, complaints coming into the Ajax Police Station have reached a new low, The Times-Gazette is inform- ed. Vandalism is almost non exist- ant. Such occurrences as are re- ported are of a minor nature. In- fractions of the law by adults are also few and of minor importance. This weekend four or five speeders were caught on Harwood Avenue Bouth, a favoured spot for motorists to lean on the gas a little too hard. Perhaps television has something to do with the lull in complaints. It has been reported that Ajax has more TV sets per capita than any other community of like size. Judg- ing by the forest of aerials this may be true, and the have's invite the have nots over for the evening. Regardless of why complaints are few it is pleasant to live in a law abiding community. Ajax WI Will Help Boys' Club AJAX -- At the last meeting of the Ajax branch of the WI plans were made for a candy and cake sale to be held Friday afternoon, January 23 at Mr. Coady's furni- ture store. The proceeds are to be applied on insurance for the boys playing in the Ajax Boys Club «if and when the officials get the in- surance. Donations of candy or bak ing would be much appreciated, also lots of customers. Anyone in- terested in these boys should keep this date in mind. At 2 pm. on Wednesday Jan- uary 14 in the United Church Sun- day school rooms, Miss Edith Col- Uns will be giving a short course on "How to be a good officer." This is expected to be both in- teresting and instructive. Everw one is welcome. The next regular meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. J. Woods at Durham Street on Wed- nesday, January 28 at 8 p.m. The hostesses will be Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Boyle and the convener, Mrs. Hutchison.

By VINCENT BUIST BERLIN (Reuters)--East Ger- many's vast Junker estates were split up by the Communists in 1946 to "give land to the peasants." Now they are being reassembled on the Soviet pattern as collective farms. The government has announced that 1,100 collective farms--or kol- hozes, as the Russians call them-- have been formed. East Germany, the last of the '"people's democracies' to collecti- vize farming, needs Kolhoz farming to conserve its inadequate labor force and to improve food pro- duction. Collectivizatioh, when efficient, reduces the labor required and it in- creases production by 'concentrat- ing crop cultivation in most favor- able regions.

Labor is so scarce that West Germans esti- Soviet Farm riaii Uses Junker Plots mate there are 200,000 acres lying idle in East Germany. In November, the government announced details about one major collective project where a group of farmers pooled their land, to which - the state added .some, to form one large farm. Each farmer is left about one acre for his per- sonal use. A wide range of so-called '"'un- desirable elements,'"' such as mer- chants, the larger landowners, inn- keepers, speculators, and em- ployers of all kinds, are barred from the farming co-operatives, Their children, however, provided they "renounce" their parents and do "socially useful work," stand a chance of being admitted - Kohloze farmers reap the follow- ing benefits: 25-per-cent tax re- duction, 10-percent crop quota re duction, priority at state tractor lending stations, priority for seeds, fertilizers, tools and breeding ani- mails, special government loans and better prices for their products. * FONTAINEBLEAU, France (CP) --Applying a cut-and-dried mathe- matical formula to complex per- sonnel problems of the North At- lantic Treaty Organization has Group Capt.

Police said that the articles were remov- ed from the store windows on Sat- urday afternoon or evening. The stolen articles had a total value of $145. Taken were an eight-millimetre movie camera with case, a snap- shot camera, two magazine-type rolls of 16-millimetre film, and a Sunbeam electric shave with case. The thefts were discovered at closing time on Saturday. In the drug store it was pointed out that the Saturday rush of busi- ness makes difficult the inspec- tion of windows while customers are in the store. To Complete Post 0 Addition By Fe BOWMANVILLE--H. M. Brooks, of H. M. Brooks, Ltd. Oshawa, was on Monday inspecting the job his firm has undertaken at Bow- manville Post Office. Visiting with construction manager Lewis Trull, Hampton, Ontario, he discussed ways and means to speed the job of building a one-storey addition, 16' x 60°', within a contracted time- limit of 30 days. With 11 men at work -- seven carpenters and four laborers -- Mr. Brooks and Mr. Trull agreed that the project is going ahead on schedule, The temporary structure will be built of wood, and planning figures show that 16,500 board feet of lum- ber will be used. Of joists alone,' there are a full truckload, and one of the men seemed to do nothing but stack lumber near the working carpenters. Three carpenters were kneeling on the partly-laid floor, stting down the remainder of the fir strips that make the surface. TO FINISH ON TIME Lewis Trull feels that the job will be completed on time without overtime hours. He said, 'The men work from eight to five every day, and I think that we can get it done without extra hours. There is prob- ably a 30-day time limit because of the inconvenience to those inside the post office when we remove the walls. The post office people want that time to be as short as pos- sible." Mr. Brooks commented, "We haven't done much of this type of construction before. We usually work with heavier materials: rein- forced concrete and steel. Of course, there's a time-limit on ice bruary 4 every job, but this time it is a little shorter." STACK OF MATERIALS Outside the. small shack where the managers were talking there was a pile of doorframes and win- dow frames, made by the H. M. Brooks company in Oshawa, and transported here ready to fit in. There were also plywood, asbestos siding, and trim, that caused Mr. Brooks to say, "all the material we'll use here will make quite a picture when we add it up." He went on, "There will be a post-foundation. That is, wood piles or posts that have been pressure- creosoted will support the building. The posts with the black colour on the outsides are the creosoted piles." Mr. "Trull added, 'The space between the floor and the ground will be closed in around the edges. The posts themselves have a con- crete footing 4' 6' deep and 2' square. The posts are set in the concrete while it is wet." "The machine you saw here on Saturday was digging the holes for posts," explained Mr. Brooks. "It was unusual for us, because we've never used one before. It's called a well-dflling machine, and on Sat- urday it was digging with a 24" rotary bit. The company that sub- contracted for the job purchased the bit especially for this construc- tion project." "The ground here in the drive- way was a little hard for digging," said Mr. Trull, "I guess it has been driven over and packed down for years, and it was frozen besides. "All in all, I think this particular type of job can be done as quickly By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE DENVER (AP)--A virus is a dead-eye sharpshooter at causing infection, studies at the University of Colorado show. It needs only one chance to grab a living cell and cause sickness. Given that chance, it rarely misses. Its weapon is an electrical hook to attach itself to its target cell. quickly produces up to 1,000 more viruses. These fascinating studies of how viruses work are described by Dr. Theodore T. Puck, professor of biophysics at Colorado's medical school. Viruses cause hundreds of plant, animal and human diseases, in- cluding influenza, polio, mumps and yellow fever. Each virus is specific, that is, able to attack usually just one kind of body cell. Dr. Puck and his associates are working mainly with a virus, bac- teriophage, which attacks and kills certain bacteria. The virus, they find, first picks up a positive ion, an electrically charged particle, from body fluids. The ion alters the surface of the virus so that it is attracted to its target cell electrostatically, to grab and hold onto it. The 'flu virus works the same way, getting an electrical hook to attack human blood cells. All vi- ruses: may work the same way. In test-tubes, the virus invasion can be stopped by adding fluids in winter as in summer. There was at one time a slack building season in winter, but nowadays the new materials and chemicals make it possible to carry right through. Chemicals are used to keep con- crete from freezing. And do you see the bales of straw out there? After we dug the post-holes on Sat- urday we filled them with straw to keep the frost out of the ground overnight." #As the men kept arriving at the door of the shack to ask about this or that detail of work, construction manager Trull left to make an in- spection. Said H. M. Brooks, 'The walls will have asbestos shingling, and other construction will be of wood. There will be a 2" x 4' laminated roof, with bonded built-up roofing for a finish. "All floors and walls will be in- sulated, and the finished floors will be linoleum on plywood. We'll take heat from the existing hot-water system by extending it.

Dr. Puc finds it takes some viruses onl 15 to 20 seconds to kill a cell ; has grabbed. The virus then take over the cell's inner machinery and begins making more viruses again at a fast pace. The bacteriophage takes only 1 minutes to catch and kill a ce and produce 1,000 more viruses The new 1,000 in another 13 mir utes could have produced 1,000,00 virusés, all within 26 minutes. Discovery of the basic mechar ism of virus attack and reproduc tion may lead to means of protec tion against virus diseases. Th knowledge also could aid in at tempts to train viruses for usefu jobs, such as encouraging viruse to attack and kill cancer cells witk out harming healthy cells.
