THE ASHBURIAN SCIENCE TCDURS I. SL'ff.'llt'C Tom' to .llontreal As usual, the highlight of the year's science tours was the annual expedition to Montreal. Those concerned, left the school on XVednes- day, Xlarch lst, and travelled by bus to Montreal. After arriving at about ten p.m., we checked into the Y.Xl.C.A., and after a chicken dinner, retired for the night. Bright and early Thursday morning, we began with a tour of the Northern Electric plant. This trip was arranged and conducted, as it has been in other years by Col. Short, the father of an Ashbury Old Boy. Here we witnezwed the awembly of telephone switchboards. The num- ber of component parts and their various sizes, shapes and degrees of mechanical importance was fascinating. Equally interesting was the technical and mechanical skill required to assemble a machine of this complexity. After the tour was Hnished and all questions had been answered, we were treated to lunch in the Company Cafeteria. The afternoon was spent at the firm of Ayerst, McKenna and Harrison. Here our guide was Mr. H. Debreuil. VVe were first shown the Company's new laboratories, which Mr. Debreuil told us, with iustihable pride, were second only to those of the National Research Council. ln these laboratories, research in such fields as cancer and heart disease was being conducted. From the laboratories we were taken to the production section of the plant. Here we followed the manufac- ture of vitamin pills from the chemical formation and mixing of their ingredients to the final bottling and boxing of the pills themselves. VVe were also shown the making of ampoules for hypodermic needles. Here, as elsewhere in the plant, we were impressed by the scrupulous antiseptic precautions taken by both researchers and workers. VVith the trip completed, we retired to the cafeteria where refreshments were served and questions answered. Before leaving, samples of the Company's products were distributed, which, due to the prevalence of colds in the group, were very popular. After supper, we made a tour of Sir George lYilliams University, which is located next door to the Y.Nl.C.A. VVe were shown through the building by Prof. D. Peets, the Assistant Dean. As we were taken through the laboratories and lecture rooms, we found it hard to believe that 6500 students could be handled in such a limited space. After the tour, the rest of the evening was given over to movies. The first tour on Friday was to the Continental Can Company. After reaching the plant by bus, we were greeted by Alt. Brick, and then split up into smaller groups in order to examine the manufacturing processes more closely. XYe were first shown how the cans are labelled,

THE ASHBURI.-IN 1, a process which involves two methods. The commoner one is that of placing printed paper labels on the can. A good deal of time was spent watching a variety of cans being formed from the sheets of tin. l.ater we were shown the loading and transportation facilities as well as the administration of the Company. An indication of the Company's business was graphically indicated by looking at the sample room where there were approximately 8000 different types of cans. At the end of the tour we had a fine lunch in the Cafeteria. After lunch, we travelled by car to the Dominion Rubber Company. Here We saw the chemical processing of crude rubber into a number of different articles of various shapes and sizes. Among the products being turned out at the time were conveyer belts and garden hoses. Following a short rest and a swim, we were taken to T.C.A.'s beautiful new Maintenance Plant at Dorval. This trip was arranged by Mr. L. Palmer, and proved to be one of the highlights of the tour. In the immense building which covers thirteen acres, we were first given dinner and then shown almost every conceivable type of maintenance equipment as well as the wonderful facilities available for crew training. Among the fascinating pieces of equipment that we saw were the Hight simulators- exact models of aircraft cockpits used for training pilots and co-pilots. Wie were much impressed by t-he wonderful care taken in the Work-shops to ensure the mechanical perfection of every part of the airplane. Probably the most impressive spectacle was the company's new hangars which were so big that six modern planes can be serviced at once. Here we saw a new DC-8 which was undergoing a complete overhaul, even the seats had been removed. Refreshments were served at the end of the tour, and a tired group made its way back to the YH for a good night's sleep. On Saturday, the last day of the tour. a visit was made to XlcGill University. This year we had a tour of the Faculty of Nledicine. Here f Qfx P 12 i ,'L!?'.'Iiff,Ll.ffF.'f P' iff' X ii lj ii 45032 tml as Q lily? .- fam--::Eu,mri,Sps love .
