'1RURDAY, DC 11, 1952 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO tCilizen.s Little Realize Equipment ~tRequired iun aking Nemorial Ice Arena Run SaSmoolhly H!ockey players and skaters en- joying the ncw artificial ice sur- face at the Bowmanvile Mem- drial Arena are probably unaware that they are also skating on 37,- 500 feet of 1 1/ inch pipe contain- ing 2,000 welded joints, and mak- ing use of $38,000 worth of ice making equipment. These facts, along with the in- formation that 71/2tans of cal- cium mixed with hundreds of gal- lons of water is flowing thraugh these pipes aimost continuously, were given ta The Canadian Statesman by Bill Cochran, genial engineer of the Canada Ice Ma- chine Campany, wha installed the artificial ice plant at the Arena. This equipment, along with a great deal of other complicated- loaking machinery, was frcezing ice in just anc manth iess a day after work was startcd-tbe fast- est installation job ever made by teCanada Ice Machine Camp- any. Basic equipment uscd in the making of artificial ice at the Arena is a tank of brine, a piping system under the ice surface, a circulation pump to force the brine tbraugh the pipes and a con- denser and compressar ta recover the ammonia which is used as the refrigerating agent. Strangely enaugh the freczing equipment in a rink works on the principle, nat of appiying cald ta the ice. but of taking warmth away fromn it. The calcium-and- water brine at a temperature of 19 degrees is forced out thraugh the network of pipes by a pump driven by a 10 horse-power elcc- tric motor. In circuiating through the pipes, wbich are laid on siecp- crs 41/ inches apart, running lengthwise under the ice surface of the arena, the brine solution picks Up warmth from the ice through the piping s0 that by the time At get.s back ta the freezing plant it has warmed up ta about 21 degrees. It goes back ta the brine tank, through which run the ammania colis. As the warmer brine reach- es the tank, liquid ammonia is automaticaliy released from the ammonia tank.

Two local, public-spirited citizens, A. H. Sturrock and 0. F. Robson, i.mdertook the job of providing proper carts to handie the operation. Here they are with the finished products, each in brilliant color, suitably decorated with information concerning the two businesses these men operate. It should be explained that once an adequate surface of ice, approximately an inch and a haif thick, has been secured on top of the pipes, ail flooding is carried on with these carts to prevent building the ice up too quickly. Incidentally, each of these small vehicles costs in the neighborhood of $300. By this week-end, the huge hot water tank in the machine room will be in operation, supplying almost boiling water to these carts. It must be very hot for immediate freezing once it has filled the skating tracks. The carts were buiît to specification by Dave Bothwell, Jr., at his Maple Grove machine shop. grecs below zero, so ,that when the liquîd is released fromn the tank it immediately turns int'o gas, and this boiling action in changing from a liquid toaa gaseous form produces intense cold which lowers the temper- iature of the brine ta 19 degrees agamn. This two-degrce variation !ýn temperature is enougli ta keep the ice in perfect condition and the flow of brine from the tank through the pipes is practically continuous. The tank is 111/ feet lon,5 feet wide and five feet high and is of steel, insulated on four sides and the bottom by four inches of cork. Other huge items of equipment îin the ice making plant are the large compressor, and the conden- ser which converts the ammonia 1gas back into a liquid again after it bas donc its work in coaling the brine. The compressor is drîven by a 75 horse-power electric engine and compresses the ammonia gas and delivers it ta an atmospheric condenser which converts it into liquid form sa it can be used over and over agaîn. Except for a very small amaunt of gas leak- age, the same ammonia can be used for years and Mr. Cochran estimates that the supply in the Memorial Arena plant will not have ta be added ta for two years. The brinc tank, circulating pump, compressor, condenser and ammonia storage tank are housed in a 20 by 30 foot addition on the west end of the arena. The speed with which this addition was built and the ice plant installed rcflects well on the ability and efficiency bath of Mr. Cochran and the Canada Ice Machine Company. The Memorial Arena has an ice making plant which is second ta none in Ontario and should bc making perfect ice for the enjoy- ment of Bowmanville residents for many years ta came. Durham County FARM FORUMS 0.. Arrll.v. receive government aid to help them out. The consumer is pratccted as *ell as the praducer, because with supply and demand ruling, products rise and faîl ta the cx- treme. For instance, a fcw ycars ago potatoes wcre as 10w as 40c, now 10 tîmes as high, s0 much for open markets. Support prices also keeps production up, keeps employment steady, therefor the consumer has wages ta buy with. Efficient farmers necd support prices as well as inefficient anes. We believe Canada's agricultural production could be greatly in- creased if we were sure of a profitable rcturn, but when a farmer gets buiît up and rcady ta do the job well, prices take a downward flop and history re- peats itself. Support prices may flot be the answver completely, but until a better way is devised ta level out the extremes in aur agricultural econamy, we must rely on aur government ta came ta aur aid. Next meeting at Percy Van Camp's. At a future meeting we expect a representative from Dur- ham County Medical Services ta explain the cost and benefit of surgical aid being added to aur hospitalization scheme.

HIAMPTON FORUMI Meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Thampson, with 15 presont. Subject of discussion was -Why Price Supports?" Questions for discussion were on view-ponts ex- prcssed by speakers or writers on farm prices. Most members thought that farm prices should ho left ta the open market. But in fhecex-cnt of a crisis, such as placement of embargoos, or seriaus surplus, thon a price support program should ho installed ta at least on- sure ta the farmor the cost of production. Some suggested that farm prices should be controlled by a price support program, or floor price placed, so as ta enable the farmer ta determine whether ho can realize a profit. Also mentioned that if farnm prices %vere controlled, then pro- duction should also ho controlled. Our miembers thaught that the consumer does benefit by a price support program, as the farmer will stili retain a certain amount of purchasing power ta buy man- ufactured products, which helps ta ensure employment. Also suggested that consumers would benefit mare if there wxere a more stabilized price programn. Our members agreed that in lime of a crisis, as mentioned in question one, efficient production needed prico supports. 1Next meeting at the hom-e of 1Mr. andi Mrs. Clarence Tînk. was given by Lorenzo Beebee.

Since 1947 when the fund was created payments out have exceeded $ 3,000,000. During the current year it has been necessary to obtain an advance of $ 300,000 from the Treasury Department in order to make the payments required.
