Bishop jefferson called upon the candidates to develop wisdom and understanding to meet the challenge which lies ahead. The opening Procession was led by Crucifer C. Pierre LeBoutillier. followed by the Choir and the Clergy. The School Chaplain presented the Candidates, the Archdeacon read the Introduction, and the Scriptures were read by Rev. A. T. Carson.

32 THE ASHBURIAN SCIENCE NOTES N November 13th, a group from the Middle and Upper Schools paid a visit to the Bell Telephone Company of Canada. Here we were shown the necessary equipment to handle all the telephones of Ottawa. XYe were particularly interested in the CFRA Transmitting equipment. The trunk lines, the millions of intricate tiny wires, the advanced electronic devices, the telephone switchboards, and the preparations for television all impressed us, and we came away with much more respect for and knowledge of the instrument which has proven such a boon to modern progress. On january 12th, we made our Annual Tour of the Gatineau Power Company. Again this tour proved very useful to us in our Matriculation Physics Class, and showed how practical this subject is. Later in the month, on january 26th, we had a most interesting trip to the Gatineau Commercial Alcohols. This plant is situated next door to the International Pulp and Paper Company. The waste sulphite liquor is piped over from the paper plant to be used to make alcohol. Out of every 8,000 gallons of this liquid, only 8 gallons of alcohol result, so the efficiency of this plant of necessity must be high. The large distillation towers, the huge quantity of instruments and electronic control equipment are a vital part of the plant make up. IV e also learned that the purest forms of alcohol go into the manufacture of antifreeze, and other industrial products. Here, even the steam is used over and over, until all its heat energy has been dissipated. VVe were privileged on February lst to have some Naval films shown here at the College. Peter Gilbert spoke to the group assembled on careers in the Navy, and emphasized the importance of a sound education and technical know how. VVe are most indebted to Mr. Gilbert for obtaining these films for us. On February 8th, a large group from the school paid a visit to the National Research Council under the auspices of the Chemical Institute of Canada. Mr. Douglas XValkington of Canadian Industries Limited was the guest speaker of the evening. The title of his address was The Romance of Chemistry. He illustrated his talk with a number of special demonstrations including plastic combs, tumblers, bowls, and even water pipes, nylons, rayons, and snow used to decorate Christmas trees. He traced the tremendous strides made by the chemical industry in the last twelve years with such products as plastics, nylon, rayon, and sulfa drugs. He pointed out that it took 10 years of research and an outlay of 828,000,000 to produce nylon. He went on to explain that the ideas of Chemistry are not new. He even had a chemical explanation for a kiss. The theory was that on hot days cavemen used to lick each other to get salt their bodies had lost through perspiration.
