Wartime Traffic Brings C.N.R. Promotions NORMAN B. WALTON *T*HE vital |Kirt * w h ich t he Canadian Nat- ional system i.i playing in Can- ada's war effort is graphically kin m: i in a re- vie w of the branch of the railway's activi- ticswhichcomes under tlie direct supervision of Norman B. Wal- ton, whose pro- motion to the position of executive vice-president was recent ly announced by President R. C. Vaughan. Mr. Walton, vice-president of operation, maintenance and construction prior to thi.t.ippointment, will continue to exercise jurisdiction over this depart- ment, and perform such other duties as the president may delegate to him. t'nderthe direction of Mr. Walton are the forces concerned with the op- eration of trains, the maintenance of track and structures, and the com- puny's motive power and car shops. He also has charge of the company's shipbuilding operations. During the year 1942. this force moved more than 72,000.000 tons of munitions of war and other products of industry, agriculture and natural resources. More than 2,500 locomo- tive* and some 80,000 freight cars were in continuous service Io handle this traffic. If all C.N.R. freight and |us.scngcr equipment, locomotives and work cars, could be set out on a single line of track, buffer to buffer, they would reach from Toronto to Minaki, almost 1.100 miles. Two other important stafT appoint- ments resulting from the tremendous increase in wartime traffic were also announced, that of J. F. Pringle to be general manager of the Atlantic Region, and J. P. Johnson to succeed J. P. JOHNSON him as chief of transportation for the System. The latter was form- erly general su- perintendent of the Southern Ontario district. Mr. Pringle will relieve W. U. Ap- pleton, vice-presi- dent of the region of much of the direct work con- nected with the extensive traffic over the railway's eastern lines. Mr. Applcton formerly carried on the duties both of vice- president and general manager. Mr. Walton, a native of Palnier- ston, Ont., has had 42 years' experi- ence in railroading. He advanced from his first job as clerk and stenographer through the dcspatcher's office to many supervisory positions which provided him with a wide knowledge of operating and traffic conditions. I le has held important posts at Winnipeg, Edmonton, Prince Rupert and other iwints in western Canada. Mr. Pringle began his service with the Canadian National Railways in 1919asnn assistant cngineerat Mont- real. After filling important positions in that city and in Ontario he was appointed chief of trans|x>rtation for the System in 1941. Mr. Johnson , commencing a s a I cle- grapher with the Grand Trunk in 1905, has had a railway career which gained him an intimate knowledge of the National System in Ontario and throughout the west where he occu- pied important supervisory positions for 17 years before his appointment to North Bay in 19 36, and to To- ronto five >ears later. Have You Heard? The chief constable of a small town was also an expert veterin- aiy surgeon. One night the tele- phone rang. The chief constable's wife answered.

How can I remove a bit of egg yolk that has accidentally gotten into the white when separ- ating the two? A. Use a small piere of wet cloth to remove the yolk; it will cling readily to the cloth. Q. How can I keep the window boxes looking attractive during the winter months? A. Instead of allowing the window boxes to remain empty all winter, they can be made to look attractive with cedar or pine branches, adding a few sprigs of bittersweet to brighten then.. Q. How can I iron slips so that they will not stretch? A. Hemcmlier to iron slips crosswise instead of up and down. This ti-n.is to prevent the slip from showing below the skirtline. Q.

WHAT SCIENCE IS MING RADIO NEWSPAPERS Many newspapers today carry "wire photo" pictures, which have been sent to the paper over wires from distant points. The process of sending newspapers by radio does not differ greatly from the wire photo method except that the impulses are sent by radio waves rater than as pulsations in a current in an electric circuit. The process, called radio fac- simile, involves (at the transmis- sion end) the changing of the varying tones o'f white, gray, and black into corresponding lailio sig- nals; broadcasting; these signals; and (at the receiving end) chang- ing the signals back into a fac- simile or reproduction of the original pictures, printing, etc. * * * In one type oi radio facsimile receiver, a stylus is driven back and forth across a continuous roll of special dry-electrolytic paper. This paper is affected by electric current, turning dark in propor- tion to the amount of current passed through it. A current, whose variations correspond to the variations in light and shade of the original copy, is sent through the moving stylus and in this manner the light and shade of the pictures and printed matter of a news- paper may be reproduced by radio It should be pointed out that nulio facsimile newspapers are ac- ttii.i repi'iductions of news pages, conipli't' with headlines, Captions, illustrations and all. * 1'adio facsimile has various practical uses. Weather maps, prepared by shore meteorologists, may be radioed to ships at sea; fingerprints and other data may be flashed through space between distant police departments; and it is possible for a bank cheque, signed in London, to be radioed across the Atlantic and be hon- ored, as reproduced by radio fac- simile, in New York. As a newspaper, a ratlin fac- simile set in the home could be tuned in (perhaps automatically) when music and speech broadcasts leave the air at night, and the radio would print your moining paper for you while you sleep. -W. P. in the Christian Sci- ence Monitor. Bells Protect Sheep From Killer Dogs Heavy claims in KIdVrslie Township for sheep killed and in- jured by dogs lend particular in- terost to an Ontario farmer's as sortion that he never had any trouble with dogs bothering his sheep, says The Chesley Knter- prise. He put an open bell around the neck of every fourth or fifth sheep (the kind of bells farmers used to wear on their horses) and he found that these he.lU scared dogs, as they do not like them; they gave the farmer in- dication if his sheep were attack- ed, and the bells tend to koep the sheep together.

Modern Etiquette By Roberta Let 1. Is it still considered proper for a man to ask a girl's father for his approval before proposing marriage to her? 2. Is it all right to use cream- colored or tinted personal cards? 3. In what position should the butter knife be placed on the bread-and-butter plate? 4. What should a girl steno- grapher say or do when her em- ployer shows her an error she has made in typing a letter? 5. Is it permissible to lean across one person to shake hands with a third? 6. How should seeds be remov- ed from an orange at the table? Answer* 1. No. However, as soon as a young man and woman have de- finitely decided to marry, it is considered well-bred and consid- erate for them to go at once to her parents and ask their ap- proval. 2. White cards only should be used. 3. The butter knife should be placed at the top of the bread-and-butter plate, slightly above the centre, and parallel with the edge of the table, with the handle at the right and spreading edge of the knife towards the guest. 4. Merely say, "I am sorry," and offer to re- write it. 5. If you are obliged to do this, beg the pardon of the one across whom you reach. 6. With the orange spoon.
