Another Title forMother- "Dietitian"

Have you ever tried to figure out the num-ber of titles which might appear alongsidethe name of the average mother or home-maker? Adviser, Banker, Cook, Doctor, En-tertainer, Fashion Expert - quite a list, isn'tit? Even if we run through the entire alpha-bet several times, it still will be difficult tocatalog all the titles. But 'Dietitian" is onethat many of us may have overlooked.

We all know, however, that pleasant meal-times are cornerstones of happy and healthyfamily life. When a woman looks aroundthe table at her family relaxing and enjoying

Almost Double KO When Boys Knocked Noggins

Somebody should have been playing the 'Nutcracker Suite" because Dinty Parks and Roeco Colombo were just after havinga head-on collision when this classic of arrested motion was caught by the Triangle camera at the Inco Club. When both gladiatorsfell prone It looked as If a double KO had been registered, but Rocco recovered and then Dinty came to and drop-kicked him.Dinty then got the same treatment from Rocco, which seemed not unfair, all things considered. Roeco climbed on Dinty and pinnedhim for a two-count. They rolled over . . . another two-count . . . another rolL . . Rocco was on top again and this time RefereeBiU Currle's arm tolled thrice. The boys arose and proceeded to violate the most sacred canon of professional wrestung by shakinghands before leaving the ring. Thus it goes at the Inco Club on Monday nights - always the imexpected, never a dull moment.

Clarke PhillipsNew Pensioner

Clarke Phillips' main worry at the momentis what his doctor has told him - on accountof a heart condition he has to cut out hunt-ing and skeet shooting, his favorite recrea-tions. He retired recently on disability pen-ion from his job as safety engineer at Copper

Cliff, has 24 years and two months of creditedservice with Inco behind him.

Clarke was born in Burks Falls, Ontario, onJuly 13, 1911. On graduation from highschool in 1929, his wandering feet (and theunemployment picture) took him to Sault Ste.Marie, where he landed his first job - work-ing for the government on a reforestationproject. That winter, after a brief stint asan assessor, he was hired to help transportmachinery by horse and sleigh across the iceof Geneva Lake to the new Geneva Mine.

He joined Inco in 1930 as anode wheeloperator at thc Copper Rc1nc'ry, and was on

hand when the first copper cast was poured.In 1942 he transferred to Frood undergroundas a driller, became a shift boss at the OpenPit in 1943, and was appointed Safety En-gineer there in September, 1947. In February,1951, he joined the Transportation Depart-ment in Copper Cliff. November of that year

i brought the first indication of the heart ail-ment which later forced him t.o accept hispension. He was o the job for six weeks,and on his return became safety engineer.

In 1935, Clarke married Dulcie Bucknam ofSudbury. Two of their three children areliving: Terrence, 16, i at school in FortWilliam, ard Carol, 6, is at home with herparents.

Besides the hunting and shooting which arenow taboo, Clarke used to satisfy his athletichunger with both boxing and wrestling, anunusual combination. During the 30's andearly 40's he was very active in Nickel Beltring and mat activities. In 1934 he wasamateur lightweight boxing champ for Northem Ontario, and in April of '37 he tx)ok theamateur wrestling title as well.

Time is treasure-pend it wisely.CLARKE PHILLIPS

Hold ConferencesOn Ductile Iron

A series of conferences designed to ac-quaint engineers with the properties andapplications of ductile iron has been inau-gurated by The International NLk Com-pany, Inc., whose Development and ResearchDivision invented and developed this newmaterial. Since it was first produced com-mercially in 1949, ductile Iron has establisheditself as an important engineering metal.

Individual meetings, attended by designengineers, materials engineers, purchasingagents and representatives of management,are being held for companies employing castor wrought components.

Discussion at the conferences centers on Ithe mechanical properties of ductile Iron,design, manufacturing, specifications, heattreatment, applications and service per-formance.

The ductile irons are a family of castmetals. They have the processing advantagesof cast iron - good fluidity and castability,ready machinability and low melting point

combined with many of the engineeringadvantages of steel, good strength, toughness,wear resistance and substantial ductility.

Not subject to size limitations, ductileiron castings have been produced commer-.cially in weights varying from two ounces to100.000 pounds, with section thicknesses be-tween one-tenth of an inch and 48 inches,and in Intricate shapes.

Many thousands of applications have alreadybeen proven for ductile iron in householdappliances, aircraft, agricultural hnplement,electrical, furnace manufacturing, machinery,petroleum, power, railroad and other indus-tries.

With the three stacks of Copper Cliff Smelter waving graceful plumes of smoke In the background, and the long shadowsof an autumn afternoon reaching over the field, a high school football game between Sudbury Tech and Copper Cliff is a sight to see.Tom Sheppard of Tech has just given the old pigskin a powerful boot. Although the Cliff led by a touchdown after the first quarter,Tech won 12-8, and went on to beat Sudbury High for the NDSSA title.

iF Time HadBy All in HighSchool Football

Nobody suggests that it produced the bestfootball ever seen in the Nickel Belt, or theprettiest cheerleaders, or the most rabiddemonstrations of fan loyalty, or even thebiggest bills for splints and arnica. Butthere'll be nary a dissenting voice to theclaim, here rousingly stated, that by andlarge the pigskin season just slipping intothe shadows of the late autumn twilight isa pretty satisfactory sort of a memory,

There was some great competition someshining displays of sportsmanship, somemagnificent examples of team spirit. Andover it all was spread the golden glow ofsome of the happiest hours in the sweetexperience of youth.

Sudbury High picked off the big plum bywinning the right to represent Northern On-tario in the sixth annual ReI Feather tourn-

DIAMONO DRILLDRAIN HOLE

INLET

Cone Settler forSludge RemovalLatest Wrinkle

Latest type of installation at Inco for theremcval of sludge from mine water is a conesettler th operation on 1200 level of Frood-Stobie No. 7 Shaft.

Water from 600, 800 and 1000 levels of theNorth mine is drained through diamond drillholes into the settler, which Is 25 feet indiameter at the top and is located 50 feetabove 1200 level.

Particles of ore and rock settle out of thewater and are drawn off through a sludgeremoval line directly into mine cars, trammedto an ore pass, and ultimately hoisted tosurface The water overflows thto a concretelaunder surrounding the perimeter of thesettler, is piped into the 1200 level drainageditches, passes through two diamond drillholes into the sump on 1600 level, and ispumped from there to surface for disposal.

An outstanding advantage of the conesettler is the ease with which the sludge isremoved into mine cars without the necessityof handling it by mucking machine or shovel.

Another successful application of roof bolt-ng was its use for roof support in the ex-

cavation made to accommodate the settler.

Men's Club Sponsors Boys' Baseball at LevackThe day is not far distant when Levack

will have a red hot entry In the Nickel BeltBaseball League. And probably lift theMonell Cup, too.

Some of the material from which thebooming mining camp's championship teamsof the future will be fashioned was on displaythe other night, and mighty impressive itwas. The occasion was the grand wind-upof the town boy's baseball league sponsoredthis year by St. Bartholomew's Men's Club,in which genial Jack Drohan is the guidinglight.

Through the civic-minded efforts of Jackand his associates, the league was a signalsuccess. There were five teams with a totalof 85 boys aged 12 or under, each team witha coach and assistant coach as follows:Tigers, W. Milks and 0. Laberge; Giants, B.Mallette and L. Fay; Dodgers, L. Stelma-

kovitch and N. Farrow; Cubs, E. Malletteand S. Plaskoski; Beavers, R. Mc,Farlaneand L. Laberge.

Levack Mine Athletic Association helpedthe project aiong with a financial boost, andthe merchants of the town supplied sweaters,caps, and souvenir bats.

Gerry Wallace, coach of the victoriousCopper Cliff Redmen in the 1q54 edition ofthe Nickel Belt loop, had some advice forthe boys in his brief address at their season-ending party. "You fellows in Levack don'tknow how lucky you are, with all the finepeople who go out of their way to do thingsfor you," he said. "Don't forget your eclu-cation. Don't ever drop or neglect youreducation for sport, no matter how much youlove the game. Listen to the coach, andobey the umpire."

Motion pictures of World Series baseball

games were shown, after which prodigiousquantities of hot dogs were consumed.
