Professor Russell W. Thom-- kins, an authority on mine en- vironmental control, made the statement today in commenting on a United States public health serivce report which says inci- dence of lung cancer among one group of miners studied was seven times higher than that expected from the rest of the population. + | The statement was released| 'Canadian miners, because of |through the university office. jrigid sampling and control pro- The study predicts that lung|cedures, which were self - im- cancer deaths will reach epi-|posed by the Canadian mining demic proportions among U.S,|industry, have never been sub- uranium miners by 1985.

Those Printed Fabrics. Decorate Walls Superbly One of the most effective do- it-yourself decorating devices is the imaginative use of printed fabrics on walls, Not only are they less difficult to apply than the uninitiated may imagine, but they can perform a multitude of decorating functions. For example, by repeating the same print for walls as used in other areas, a room acquires greater unity. A window wall al- so may feature the same printed fabric on both the windows and the wall. If a wall is small, a delicately scaled print will make it appear larger. It is also a sure way to add a decorative lift to most rooms. Fabric on walls also is part of the new '"'soft look" in decorat- ing. But it has many other ad- vantages as well. It can conceal a cracked or damaged wall, cor- rect awkward architectural fea- tures and add cozy warmth. Best fabric to apply to a wall is one printed on a tight weave. It will be the easiest to work with for all methods of applica- tion, since the tight construction will make it much simpler to keep the pattern straight and match the seams, One method of application is the use of the familiar wallpaper or wheat paste. Molasses can be added to slow the drying time of the paste, using one cup of molasses to each gallon of The equating of high radia- tion exposure over a short pe- riod with low radiation over a long period is "a complete fal- lacy," he said.

Seen Suspect In '63 TORONTO (CP)--The affairs of British Mortgage and Trust Co. came under provincial ques- tion as early as 1963, the Atlan- tie Acceptance Corp. royal com- mission was told Wednesday. Cecil Richards, registrar of trust and loan companies for Ontario, said a department ex- aminer reported then that the company's investments were in breach of two sections of the Loan and Trust Company Act. The commission is investigat- ing the role played by British Mortgage in the affairs of At- lantic Acceptance which col- lapsed in June, 1965. British Mortgage was almost broken because of a $12,00,00 in- vestment it had in Atlantic Ac- ceptance affiliates. The trust firm now is merged with Vic- toria and Grey Trust Co. Richards said that in 1963 ex- aminer H. W.

Greg- ory, then president of the com- pany, insisted the correct figure was $5,550,000. Mr. Richards said the depart- ment and the company had long disputed how capital stock and reserves should be computed, and there was no real concern Commission counsel Shepherd said 29 months had elapsed between Allen's report of Jan. 28, 1963, and the previ- ous inspection report on BMT.

The tone of, examiners' re- ports became increasingly criti- cal through subsequent years and accounting proce dures were questioned. At one point examiner H. V.)

He suggested that the British Mortgage experience in this field had not been bright, citing a Treasure Island mort- gage which had gone into de- fault. Treasure Island was a de- velopment in London, Ont. Wilfred Gregory, then head British Mortgage, disputed this view with the statement that: "We are being well paid for the risks we are taking."

Bars| now must close at 6 p.m. | Since businesses in New Zea-| land normally close at 5 p.m, or later, the next hour sees ey- ery bar a seething mass of drinkers consuming as much as possible in the time available. Widely known as "the 6 o'clock swill,"' the rapid. drinking is blamed for much of the drunk- enness in New Zealand. But temperance -- supporters | have long opposed any extension of hours. They insist that there would be as much or more drunkenness with later closing. And many women oppose eve- | ning opening in the belief that) their husbands would stay out| late instead of coming home to dinner. | PROPOSE MEAL BREAK In an effort to meet this ob- jection, a proposal was made for an evening meal break, say from 6 to 7 p.m., during which bars would be closed. But a meal break is opposed in turn by the liquor trade, A referendum on bar hours was held in 1949 when extension of hours to 10 p.m. was heavily defeated.

Another method is the use of bonding agents developed speci- ficially for regular or vinyl fabrics and sold under various brand names. The slow-drying cellulose type has many advant- ages. If applied as directed, the fabric, if uneven, can be re- moved and rehung correctly. To conceal a cracked, poorly plastered or uneven wall, the best method is to wrap_ the fabric around a wallboard or frame. In both cases, the fabric can be stapled or tacked to the reverse side of the panels. EXPO 1S' Trailer FOR RENT, 8 Miles From Expo. Electricity, Propane ~Frig., and Stove. Sleeps 6. $100.
