as at GE i Yay Veh -- - EE a St aa & LL Asbestos is one of several distinctively Canadian. minerals, a product in which Canada leads the world. More than 80% of the Dominion's asbestos goes to war in such articles as the fireproof suit (above), vital for battling flames in ships or rescuing airmen from blazing, crashed planes. Its peacetime uses 'are vast. At right is a sample of highly-valued "crude" asbestos as it comes from the ore. For hundreds of years mankind has existed in greater safety and comfort because of asbestos. Still, even today, man wonders at the mystifying properties of asbestos to resist weather, wear and particnlar- ly fire and heat. Although the early Romans used lampwicks of asbestos in their temples and wrap- ped their dead in asbestos cremation cloths, though Marco Polo saw the great Kubla Khan use it in Tar- tary, and Charlemagne dressed his feast tables in asbestos cloths, we are intrigued when a sanof} dres- ged in an all-covering suit of as- bestos, walks unconcernedly into sheets of flame to rescue an airmim from a burning plane .on an air- craft carrier's flight deck. Canadians are particolarly inter- ested in asbestos since Canada pro- duces more than 70% of the world's supply of the "magic mineral", and the largest operating asbestbs mine in the world is located in Quebec's Eastern Townships, at Asbestos, Que. Composed of fibres tough x enough to dull a knife yet soft enough to be fluffed into silk- smooth masses with the fingernail, asbestos was dicovered in Quebec in the '70s, near Danville, the area from whence comes the Do- minions's world-leading production. Authorities today expect the Quebec deposits to last more than 150 years. The principal method of pro- curing asbestos is not really mining, but quarrying, the huge "mine" at Asbestos being nearly a mile across from rim to rim and sky- scraper deep at the centre. As- bestos is also procured _from regular mines, some of them more than 1.600 feet deep. In both systems, the rock is blasted loose with dynamite, giant shovels (in the pit) or chutes (in the mines) load it into cars which carry it to the surface mills for crushing. The fibre is removed from the rock, cleaned, sorted and processed into a wide variety of: articles, including fireproof clothing, building and electrical insulation, acoustical ma- terials, brake linings, wallboard, friction materials, cement, conduits, gaskets, packings, shingles, floor- ing, paper, filtres, clutch facings, sewers and water pipes, etc. Fibres more than 54 of an inch long are called "crude" and are highly valued for spinning or weaving. "Crude" asbestos is ham- mered, by hand with '"cobbing" hammers, to separate it from the rock, Often this is done right in the pit. Asbestos-mine communities are usually covered with the fine dust that flies from the mills, and buildings become naturally insaat- ed against summer heat and winter cold. In some places, however, dust-control. has eliminated that. Asbestos miners and manufac- turers are constantly conducting exhaustive research by which the uses of the "magic mineral" (and it is a true mineral, not just fos silized wood or vegetable) can- be - further. advanced and expanded. a 6,000 CANADIAN SOLDIERS ARRIVE IN NEW YORK The giant liner Queen Mary, her decks jammed with. 15,000 cheering Canadian and American service- men returning from the United' Kingdom and eager for a first glimpse of the familiar New York sky line is seen here 6,000 Canadians were aboard the famous. liner, Returning Canadian. soldiers showed their enthusiasm for a Canadian Army photographer pictured them aboard the famous. liner, Queen Mary, as she plowed through the waters of York harbor last week.

You might as well know now that your pre-war custom of driving to a roadside inn for dinner is definitely out-dated. After the war, thousands of air-minded Americans will fly to "air- trail inns" especially designed for their convenience, Here is a pre- view of the new type of country inn, where you can get well cooked meals away from the clangs, rattles and beeps of city tratlic. One of these inns already is in operation, serving private flyers who pu their planes down upon a new landing strip that Park and Iva rnsberger built upon their 120-acre farm, five miles south of Norwalk, O. "Let's go to a quiet, cool place for lunch," C W. Grove, president of a Cleveland savings and loan association, suggested when I met him on the street, UL "There isn't any such place," I countered. I know better, now. "We left Cleveland" Airport in Mr. Grove's dual-control Rearwin "Cloudster" at 11:50 a.m..and we rolled smoothly down the north strip of the Ernsbergers' T-shaped landing field at 12:15" p.m. The ride was cool and refreshing. The Ernsberger's place was cool and quiet. We ate a home-cooked lunch on the farmhouse's wide, screened porch and talked flying to Mr. Ernsberger, a licensed pilot. Other patrons taxied up to the house as we ate. "We just opened up June 15," Mr. Ernsberger said, "and we served 115 meals the first two weeks. A week ago last Sunday we had 11 planes in here at one time. "They fly in from Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Sandusky. I expect they will come from other places after we have had a chance to advertise a little." Mr. Grove and I lolled on the porch for a while after lunch (we were lucky enough to get steak), then went back to his plane. Unfortunately, we were back in town in time to do a full afternoon's work. midst the clangs, rattles and beeps of the city.
