Oshawa 'Warm To Engineers If you think it has been cold this year at Oshawa, don't men tion it to any one of the en- gineers in General Motors Ex- sr Division at the North lant. | They are apt to laugh and tell you Oshawa has-been enjoying 'a heat wave all winter. Because after you've been working out- side where, temperatures reach 45 below and don't meet zero for a week at a time, our temper- atures seem mild. Each winter the experimental) group takes GM cars to the win- ter testing grounds at Kapus- kasing, Ontario, only two hun- dred miles south of James Bay. They drive them up more than 600 miles through blizzards and over roads, quaintly described as snow covered to centre-bare, so they can test starting, heat- ing, defrosting, general engine performance and car handling. It is so cold the first gulp of air makes you gag and cough and the fine hair in your nostrils two in the-afternoon and far too balmy for the engineers. So they try to catch a few hours rest for the long night ahead. MERCURY DIPS At night, when the tempera- ture is dipping to its lowest, the engineers drive the cars over the slippery roads to Hearst 60 miles away. Each car has a "clothesline" strung down the middle from windshield to rear window with small wire thermo- couples attached to it. On the floors there are grids, brass frames bearing more thermo- couples, The car is wired and tubed-up like a patient in an operating room. The thermocouples are ex- tremely sensitive to tempera- ture change and give a com- plete reading of temperatures out the car, and outside the car, to the engineer who sits in the front passenger seat needies thet give him the meas- urements. As they drive over the slip- pery roads, past chimneys trail- ing white smoke straight off the top like great long banners in the night, through patches of what seems to be fog but is actually tiny crystals suspended in the aiz, they must quickly check their instruments by flash light and scribble down the re- sults. The car temperature will rise to the 70s while outside the tem- perature dips down to -33, -42 up to 28 below depending on hollow or hill, for the coldest air is pressed down into the valleys. By the time they reach Hearst they have enough information for the morning's work of draw- ing up the graphs which. will tell them how successfully the heaters perform and hot air is circulated. Early next morning they may try a defroster pattern test too. Starting with a completely fog- ged windshield they will care- fully jot down the pattern as the defroster begins clearing 'the ice. Later they will alter the air-deflecting fins in the defrost- er to ensure even defrosting any days of test- ing the group will take the long road back home, anxious to see their families again, incorporate new ideas learned in the frozen north into GM cars and anxious to bask in an Oshawa "heat wave". "You call this cold?" is their slogan. Reliable Big Furniture Name Thirty-six years ago, David Kalnitsky was a door to door canvasser. Today he is the proud owner of a thriving furni- ture store, Reliable Furniture Company, 96 King street east, which is managed by his son Harvey. Mr. Kalnitsky slowly and steadily climbed the business ladder of success. His first rung began in a little store at Simcoe sireet south. A period of years and several moves 'ater produced the pres- ent business which deals only in quality furniture by leading with a "pot" in his lap. The pot is a little box of dials and takes place at the soonest pos- sible moment where the driver Canadian manufacturers. A new department adds to Re- freezes stiff immediately. The stories you hear about dry cold being more comfortable are true -- = to a point. But, then, at Kapuskasing people dress for the climate, and not for fashion, in great Tibetan-style fur hats, thermal underwear, heavy parkas, great boots, heavy mitts and stockings. The cold doesn't make you miserable in the same way ours does. It doesn't cling to you and hang on you. Instead it burns your cheeks and nips your fingers and toes. And when it stops nipping and you feel com- fortable, look out because you are probably frozen. THREE GROUPS Three groups have gone up this year testing cars and trucks under the direction of Chief of Engineering William Woodcock and Assistant Chief Engineer Dick McLaughlin, two of them in January and one in February. Though everyone else, in the "evergreen country" north of the line where all streams flow north to the Arctic Ocean, uses block heaters and battery warm- ers to start their cars, the ex- JAMES O'MALLEY CONST.

They let the cars stand for eight hours until the No, 5 oil is stiffer than molasses. Then they stride out manfi'ly first thing in the morning and turn the key. If the battery isn't so frozen it has no power, motor will groan once, grind a bit, groan twice, slowly a third time, then four, five and start. Starting is just the beginning at temperatures that low. To get the wheels to turn, the car must be rocked back and forth, just as you would rock to get At this time we would like to say "THANKS" for your past patronage and hope that we may continue to merit your confidence.
