JOHN MURRAY GIBBON, C.P.R. At the annual banquet of the Association of Canadian Adver- thwn held at the Royal York Hotel John Murray Gibbon. Montreal, general publicity agent, Canadian Pacific Railway, was awarded the elhrer medal of the association for an outstanding contribution te Canadan advertising by an advertising manager. C. P.. Vint, president of the association, presented the medal te r. Gibbon on the recommendation of a jury composed f prominent Jian advertising and promotion executives, headed by H. H. er, Toronto, as chairman. In awarding the medal to Mr. Gibbon, Mr. Rimmer lauded the long career of this well known railway executive whom he referred tc as an "advertising and publicity specialist, poet, novelist, librettist and musician, who had rendered distinguished service not only in advertising his own company, but also in advertising the Dominion of Canada, since joining the Canadian Pacific Railway IB 1907." j What Science ! Is Doing BARITE FOLNO IN N.S. A deposit of at least 420,000 * Tons of barite has been dis- closed by drilling at Pembroke, Hants county, Nova Scotia, ac- oorOip to a report to the Depart- ment <f Mines and Resources by L. J. Weeks, Ottawa, geologist of the department. The find is considered of great importance and suggests the pos- sibility of Canada's production of barite being Increased by a hun- dred-fold. In 1940 the output was S30 tens. Biii'te Is required In the drilling of oil wells. In ground form it give* added weight to the mud In controlling gas pressure. It also Is usee as a filler In rubber, paper, oilcloth, textiles, leather and plas- tic*, and as a pigment ami exten- der in paints. A mill capable of treating 150 tout* of ore a da/ or about 45.000 tons a year baa been erected at Walton, about 2H miles from the deposit in Nova Scotia. Two car- goee of barite, each of about 2.500 tons, already have been shipped to Trniilad for use in the oil wells tliei* and 250 tons to Peru. v LOCUST KILLER Bubyleva, a member of the staff of the Russian Tashkent Medical Institute, has succeeded In develop- ing a microbe culture that kills locusts. The microbe is bred in an Infusion of hay, which is sprink- led <n the Infested fields. The lo- sustn devour the grass and not only perish but Infect their fel- lows. The microbe is harmless to himi.vji beings and animals. Western Wheat Crop Reduced By Sawfly IVniinion government entomolo- gists estimated that Western Can- ada's 1941 wheat production was reduced by more than 50,000,00(1 bushels as a result of wheat stem sawfiy intest 'lion. The loss, they said. >ccurreil on mo!i> than 15.000,000 acres (-'anted to wln>at in the Prairie provinces. The estimate was made after en- toojolnyisis from the Lethbridye laboratory conducted an In.-es isa tion tour of some 12.000 miles throu^ii Infested fields in Alberta Sas)iiii iiowu i uud Alberta. Magnitude of the loss is blamed ou t v e se.verlty of the Infestation and on unfavorable weather con ditions during the harvest season whk-h prevented recovery of mui-u of the wheat cut hy sawfly larvae. Tbe Dominion Kxperlmental Farm at Swift (.'i-rrent, Sask.. is brttv.-ux desirable varieties 01 whem uipable of resisting wheat ten, sawfly. Ofl'i'-la!s said they hoped tbal llfXt v.'ar tbere would be a re- duction of material losses c- . by t>-> stem sawfly. Auto Graveyards Source of Metals The proposal of the Amerioan Automobile Association that a well-orgonized effort be made to recover the valuable metal now going to waste in "junked car" graveyards all over the country deserves prompt action, advises The New York Times. The Auto- mobile Club of New York has eu- timated that some 5,000,000 tons of steel scrap and much tonnage in other metals needed for de- fence can be salvaged from the 7,000,000 outworn cars and car frames in the nation's dumps. At a time when shortages are reach- ing into every field of machinery that uses metal, any considerable part of this car waste would be worth recovery. Meanwhile the cleaning-up of the junk yards would be a bles- sing to the countryside. Here is a cause which is at once utili- tarian and aesthetic. ! How Can I? | BY ANNE ASHLEY Q.

The new draftee had made the fatal mistake of falling to salute a, second lieutenant, and the latter was prescribing his punishment, when the captain came along and Inquired the trouble. "He failed to salute, sir," re- ported the lieutenant. "What do you propose to 4e ab'i.-.t it?" asked the captain. "1 have ordered him to stand and salute two hundred times, sir." "Quite right, lieutenant," replied the captain. "Proceed with the pun- ishment. But remember, every time he salutes you must salute back." v Then there wae the Canad- ian In an English hospital whe couldn't get a much attention ae he thought he deaerved. "Do you think I came In here to die?" he asked bitterly. The Cockney In the next bed aid: 'No, you came In yeeterdye." A. young Scotsman went to the telegraph, office one morning and wired a proposal of marriage to his sweetheart. Alter spending the en- tire day and part ot the night waiting, he was finally rewarded by an affirmative reply. "If I were you," suggested the operator who delivered the mes- sage, "I'd think twice before I'd marry a girl who kept me waiting all Jay for my answer." ' N'a. na," replied the young Soot. "The lags who waits for the night rates is the lass for me." T "I hear you're writing a book on 'How to Rear Your Baby.'

Vaughan ef Canadian National Railway* Mid | in an interview the combine ex- pected to have surplus for the current year of $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, the first since 1929 and largest in its history. Mr. Vaughan estimated net proflta at between $66,000,0 and $68,000.000, before fixed profits at between $66,000,000 Movement of war materials has boosted freight volume to the largest since 1923, when the rail- ways were reorganized in their present form, Mr. Vaugrhan said, adding that there had been a "substantial improvement" in pas- senger, steamship and hotel busi- ness. The railways are using Ameri- can coal in some of its operations because of the production slow- down In Cape Breton coal mines, the President said. "We have been obliged to ship American coal as far east as Mont Joli. Quebec, and Edmundston, N.B., as a result of the slow- down," Mr. Vaughan explained. "The situation is improving gra- dually, but we are still using American coal in the Maritime* whereas in 1939 we were using Canadian coal in Ontario." Eight New Ships For Canada's Navy Eight quarts of champagne the most ever spilled in Canada in one Maritime christening sped towards the Atlantic Ocean recently along the battle-path to be followed soon by an octet of new Canadian war vessels whose bows it spattered in a unique eremony. Hailed as an event without parallel in Canadian history, the multiple christening started with the smooth launching of one cor- vette and continued in the same shipyard operated by Marine Indus- tries, Limited, with the rapid- fire blessing of seven other tough young warships, all nearly ready for a salt-water initiation. Named After Canadian Citie* The new vessels four cor- vettes and four minesweepers- were named after Canadian cities and towns scattered through seven provinces from Esquimalt, B.C., to Fredericton. It was announced that Cana- dian Corvettes already have scor- ed successes against enemy U- boats. CONSTIPATED?
