W. the l2th Century ini the beau- tiful stained glass windows of the period. It was first used in steel-making in 1886, and its use marked the start of the Bessemer process of making steel. A unique property which manganese imparts to steel, Mr. Rehder stated, is that steel with which it is rnixed becomes harder the rougher the usage it receives. For this reason this type of steel is used in such articles as steam shovel teeth an dtank treads which take a and tank treads* which take a Use of Silicon goes back to the stone age, the speaker said, and the flint tools and arrow- heads of prehistoric man were almost pur.e silica. It is used as a cleansing agent in the steel-making process to take out the oxygen and nitrogen in the molten mixture. Ten per cent of this substance in steel gives it the property of working better as an electro- magnet, and for this reason it is used in the steel for gener- ators and transformers. Vanadium was first identi- fied in 1830 and is a very rare metal. It imparts to steel the ability to withstand great heat without becoming brittie. Tungsten has been known for 50 years as an alloying agent, .Mr. Rehder stated. In ancient Damascus it was the agent which created the bard- ness in the steel used in Dam- ascus blades that made them so famous in the ancient world. It melts at the highest temper- ature of any known metal, he said, and for this reason is used in electric light filaments. Tungsten carbide, which is the second hardest substance after diamonds, imparts greati strength to steel, and steel treated with this substance is used in making oil drilling bits and for tool tips in whîch great hardness and strength is required. Zirconium a Deoxidizer The speaker pointed out that another rare metal, Zirconium, was first isolated in 1824 and is mined in the United States, Australia and South America. It is used as a deoxidizer and cleansing agent in the steel- making process to remove oxy- gen, nitrogen and other impur- ities from the molten steel. Columbium is one of the new- er alloying agents, and it is re- sponsible to a great extent for the jet age, Mr. Rebder deçlar- ed. It provents corrosion in nickel chrome steels and its high resistance to beat prevents the jet engine steel in wbich it is used from burning up due to the great heat generated. Baron is merely another namne for borax which bas been mined in Death Valley, U.S.A., for a century. It is used as a flux in the steel-making pro- cess. Another scarce jet-age metal is titanium, wbicb is very light and f inds its use in the welding of chrome steel pro- ducts. Calcium is a very unstable metal wbicb bas been known for years as one of the elem- ents in calcium chloride, or common table saît. It is used in the dexodization of copper and the production of acetylîne. It also finds a use in the dlean- sing of steel used in the aircraft industry. Thanked By President Mr. Rebder was tbanked for bis very informative address on the "Magis Metals" by Pre- sident 0. F. "Oddy" Robson. Mr. Robson welcomed three guests to the meeting: Garnet Tubbs of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, and Rotarians Ed and Stan Loveil of the Osbawa Club.b Attendance Chairman Keitb Billett presented an 8-year per- fect attendance pin to Rotar- ian Bill Rudeil, and 4-year pins to Bob Stevens and President Robson. A sing song of Christmas carols was led by Ab Darcb with Dave Morrison at the piano. lowmaaville Phione MA 3-3348 sRCIA HÀIGE IN ERS VIE TEE CANADIAN STATESMAN. !BOW14ANVTLLP. ONTARIO Dairy Farmers See Value 0f Advertising Dairy Farmers of Canada wil spend $367,000 in the advertis ing and promotion of dair' foods in 1955, according to of ficials of Lhe national prQçlu cers' organization. The 195ý budget will be. a slight increas( over that of 1954 and wîll iný clude six month-long promo tions using a wide selection o: media. The monthly promotion! will be: February, concentrat. ed products; March, butter April, fluîd milk; June, JunE is Dairy Month (dairy food! related to summer meals); Oc. tober, cheese; November, but. ter. Support will be given IcE Cream Association promotion in January, May and Septem. ber. At a recent meeting, directorE of Dairy Farmers of Canada representing every dairy prov. ince, took note of the impro-j ing consumption trends foi dairy foods in 1953 and werE advised that the trends appear- ed to be continuing in the cur- rent year. The thought was expressec by some directors that the June Advertising Set-aside should bE increased to provide more mon- ey for aivertising and promo- tion. The Alberta directors re- called that the Alberta Dairy- men's Association was already on record favoring doubling the national budget as soon as other provinces were ready to participate. Consideration was given tc statistics of the dairy industry which indicated that unpder normal conditions during the next 12 months there would be an increase in milk production about equal to the increase in population. With milk produc- tion increasing in normally im- porting countries a furtber con- traction of the Canadian expori market for dairy foods mighl be expected. Prenatal Classes Available in Country Upon Request Recently a series of nine pre- natal classes was held in Co- bourg for expectant mothers. Miss R. Cunningham, Senior Nurse of the Northumberland- Durbam Health Unit, taught the classes, and the members were referred by their fam.ily phiysicians. In these classes the young wives were given information to prepare them for child bearing and rearing, and and they practiced relaxation exercises. Dr.- Charlotte M. Horner, Medical Officer of Health, advises that any pre- natal patients may obtain such instruction from the public bealth nurse in her area, who would be pleased to visit in the home on request of the pa- tient, ber physician approving. This instruction is part of the nursing program of the Health Unit, which also includes supervision of the infant, pre- scbool and school cbild.
