Raging
The Scale
THANK FOLKS

Mr.. and Mrs. F. D. Biker want to
express their appreciation to those
members of Local IL who gave
blood to Mrs. Biker's father in an
effort to save his life. They both
think it was a fine thing and so
do we.
We extend our sympathy to the
Bikers for the loss of their father.
BIG NIGHT
Last Friday night was the night
for Harry Vetter, who bowls with
the Scale team at Hagerty's. Harry
wore his new Esquire shirt in order
to dazzle his opponents. Ask Harry
what his score was and then maybe
you'll know what boomerang is.
Hap Zoyyweg, the old rascal, has
now developed hook ball, dandy.
too, right in the gutter. If Hap
could only stand two alleys over,
we think he might be able to get
right into that old pocket.
Bill Kenny has sore back, from
what we don't know. Anyhow, the
Tanks are without his bowling
services. Maybe he heard that the
boys were going to bench him and
look around for new captain.
Anyhow he's off the alleys, and
that ought to do both the team and
his back lot of good.
OUCH!
Now that the fair and impartial
War Labor Board (and you can
underline any words you wanna
for emphasis) has decided that we
all have to join the company-domi-
mated union and listen to John Nc
Carty's unprejudiced advice, we will
be just one big, happy family. Love
and kisses from us to our dear Of
ficers, and visa versa and chicken

especially when you are on the in
side looking out.

Brian Donlevy will star in the

through the eyes of an immigrant

through the immigrants progress

1924, Vidor had three ideas for
pictures; one a war theme, another
dealing with agriculture, and the
third on steel. He made the war
film, "The Big Parade" and began
his research on steel. The director
become so interested in his per-
sonal delving that the idea grew
until it became an "earth to the
sky" conception, following the raw,
red iron ore of the fabulous Mesabi
Range in Minnesota, to the steel
mills of Chicago and Gary, into the
automobile factories of Detroit,
with a climax in the aircraft plants
now stretched across America.
Vidor's script is said to be more
voluminous than that of "Gone

The faster ships need turbine
engines, while the slower Lib
erty vessels use reciprocatlng
engines. In Canada, the latter
are built at Toronto and Mon
treal, but there is no company
in the Dominion turning out
turbine engines suitable for
large freighters.
British Columbia shipyards,
which are credited with setting
up a splendid record in turning
out ships when they were need
ed most, have, II is believed,
enough contracts TO keep them
going until the end of 1914, but
beyond that their future IS I'M
certain.
The B. c. shipyards have pro-
duced more than so per cent OF
the total of 200 merchant ships
of the l0,000-ton class that have
been built and delivered in Can
ada. The 200th vessel, the Win
dermere Park, was delivered re-
Gently to Park Steamships by
the West Coast shipbullders.
Five B. {. yards are now build
ing l0,000-ton freighters, and a
sixth is engaged in naval build
ing.
One shipyard here-the Bur
rard Drydock Co. - has estab-
lished an all-Canada record for
perfect vessels completed. u
ships turned out by the COM
pany have been taken on triad
runs and passed inspection with
out a single detect recorded on
the moan" list
The record is unusual in
world shipbullding history,
since some defect is usually dis
covered in a vessel when she
goes on her first run
The tests are severe and be
fore being turned owe TO the
owners every craft must be APP
proved by Lloyd's Registry of
Shipping, British Ministry Of
War Shipping and British Min

Future Of Industry
Grows More Uncertain
Facilities Not 70 Be Switched
TO New Type Victory Ship

change in the type of ships to
be built here is lack of facilities
in Canada for building the nee
essary type of engine for the
faster freighters.
The United States is switch
ing over to Victory ships that
will cruise at about Is knots, or
reach top speed of II to l8
knots five knots faster than
the freighters now being built
in Canada. The speedier vessels
will have a much greater ad-
vantage in competing in the
postwar maritime trade, and it
is believed that this is the chief
reason why the United States
is building them.

Caucasus campaign temporarily

four Russian armies plunged

Red Army technicians follow

Fog reduced visibility in some
sectors to 100 yards. the army

Nevertheless, the Russians were
reported advancing rapidly to-
ward the North and West in
the Caucasus. Red Star said that
the provinces of North Osetia
and Kabardino- Balkaria already
had been liberated. with the bat
tie approaching the Stavropol
district.
The Germans were described
as fighting like beasts in a
