Have a Son In the Navy Vancouver, Mashington, Sept.17.— Gus Celberg, 54-year-old potman at the Aluminum Company of America's plant here, completed seven consecutive 16-hour shifts in uie past week, a company spokesman said today.His 112 hours of work in seven days produced enough aluminum to build nine fighter planes.“I have a son with the navy somewhere in the Pacific,' he explained.“I can't fight, but I can produce aluminum.Nine more planes today might end the war a day soonei ~i.d bring my son home a day earlier." ‘ While such a long work week is definitely against the company's policy, we appreciate Selberg's voluntary efforts, Cavid H.Beetem, superintendent of the reduction plant, said.Selberg.working in a room heated to between 135 and 140 degrees, tends the huge pots in which the reduced aluminum is melted before it is poured into pigs.Isle Maligne AVIS — NOTICE Le Comité de Récupération d'Arvida désire informer les citoyens de cette Cité qu'il fera recueillir tous les rebuts de caoutchouc, ferraille, chilfons et bouteilles de toutes sortes, les 27 et 28 octobre, 1942.De plus amples détails seront donnes plus taid.* * * The Arvida Salvage Committee wishes to inform the citizens of this City that a Salvage collection of Scrap rubber, metal, rags and all kind of jars and bottles will be made on October 27th and 28th.1942.( Further details will be given later.Now that summer has departed and the grim prospect of winter looms in the distance, the inhabitants of Isle Maligne are beginning to prepare themselves for the coming cold weather.In every back yard one sees huge piles ol wood, and cheery-faced men patiently throwing it into uood sheds or cellars.The other day.this wood question gave rise to a very interesting controversy.Mr.C.Cunningham and Mr.J.P.Cossette got into a heated argument over the qualities of several cords ol wood bought by the former.Mr.Cunningham maintained that his wood was of the very best, while Mr.Cossette insisted that it was very poor because, as he said, it did not ‘‘zing" when thrown on the ground.To settle the dispute they called in Mr.Ben Girard who is recognized a.-> lUite an expert in such matters, having worked on wood piles a great deal.After a very careful examination of the wood in question, Mr.Girard gave the verdict that the wood was ‘‘no good” because it did not zing .To prove that he knew what he was talking about he invited Messrs.Cunningham and Cossette to inspect his wood pile and to hear his wood “zinz”.It did “zing", to the great satisfaction of Mr.Girard who immediately announced it to be of A-l quality.Trouble arose, however, when the fact was brought to light that both Mr.Cunningham and Mr.Girard had purchased their wood from the same dealer, and that it had come from the same wood pile.When asked to explain why his wood "zinged” when Mr.Cunningham's didn't, Mr.Girard said that the difference lay in the fact that his wood was 2" longer.As a result of this dispute, sceptics are beginning to dcubt the "zing" theory as a method for testing the quality of wood.They figure that perhaps after all the old method ol burning the wood first and then determining its quality is the best.* * * The Isle Maligne Ski Club is also looking forward to the coming winter season.The clubhouse has been treated to a coat of paint and looks very nice and has been greatly improved by the addition of a fireplace.A wartime touch was given to the fireplace by Mr.Hamilton who personally inlaid in the stones over the mantle a large "V for Victory sign.* * * The family of the late Mrs.T.H.Connolly wishes to express their thanks to their many friends for their kind expressions of sympathy shown upon their recent bereavement.* * * On September 26th Mr.L.A.McClintock returned to Montreal to resume his studies in the Faculty of Law at Mr Gill University.* * * Mr.Douglas Hewitt, Isle Maligne's Town Clerk, is at present spending his holidays with his uncle and aunt Mr.v, Mrs.F.Corcoran of Ottawa.Mr.Hewitt also intends spending a few days in Montreal and Quebec.* * * Mr.Wallie Lemay, Electrician, has been transferred to fhe Aluminum Company of Canada, Ltd., at Arvida.* • • Mr.and Mrs.Kenneth Ross of Scotstown, Quebec, spent several days of their honeymoon trip with Mrs.Ross’ brother, Mr.R.M.Van.Quel bel effort de guerre ce serait que de trouver une suggestion qui

Shawinigan.He was known to be one of the oldest aluminum producers A Last Tribute to Mr.M.Carrière Wishing to pay a last tribute to the late Mr.Melchior Carrière, the production superintendent, the workers ot our factories came in great numbers to his imposing funeral.It may be noted that a great many workers whose shift ended at 8 o’clock that morning wished also to be present at tne church service.In the cortege were seen the main directors of the Company: Messrs.R.E Powell, president, N E.Russell and E H Acton, former local managers.P.E.Radley and the superintendents of all other departments of the two factories.The pallbearers were the alderman.Mr.J.B Mercier.Messrs.Joseph Collins, A Campanozzi, W.Paquin, N.Pelle- Dernier hommage à ia mémoire de M.Melchior Carrière C’est en assistant nombreux aux imposantes funérailles de M Melchior Carrière, surintendant de la production, que les employés de nos usines ont voulu rendre un dernier hommage à la mémoire du regretté disparu.Il est à noter que de nombreux ouvriers qui terminèrent leur quart de travail à huit heures le matin des funérailles ont quand même assisté à la cérémonie religieuse.On remarquait dans le cortège, les principaux directeurs de la Compagnie: MM R E.Powell, président.N.-E.Russell et E.-H.Acton, anciens gérants locaux.P -E.Radley et les surintendants de divisions.Les porteurs étaient MM.l’échevin J -B.Mercier, Joseph Collins.A.Campanozzi, W.Paquin, N.Pellerin et A.Grondin.La plupart des contremaitres ont assisté aux funérailles.On se rappelle qu’au mois d’octobre dernier, on fêtait les quarante années de service de M.Carrière aux usines de Shawinigan.Ce dernier était reconnu comme un des plus anciens producteurs d’aluminum en Amérique.M.P -E.Radley en apprenant le décès, déclarait que “M.Carrière était un travailleur intelligent et infatigable auquel nous devons beaucoup, et que sa mort nous causait une perte irréparable au moment où nous en avions le plus besoin.” in America.Mr.P.E.Radley, on hearing of his death, said that •‘Mr.Carrière was an intelligent and tireless worker to whom we owe a lot.and his death was an Irreparable loss at a time when he was most needed.” Mr.Carrière was born in St.Philippe, in the county of Argenteuil.the 2nd of Dec.1879.He came at Shawinigan the 4th of January, 1901.He first worked on the construction of * u> Belgo.then for a few months on the construction of the Aluminum Company, in those days the Northern Aluminum Company, to return later to the Belgo which he left to come back definitely to the Aluminum Company that same year.Mr.Carrière started out as a potman in the pot room *he 18th of October 1901.At the end of six weeks, he was promoted assistant-foreman, then two years later foreman.In 1907.he was named day foreman.In 1913, he had all the prerogatives of a superintendent, a post which was oificially established in 1920 and which he held until his death.It is interesting to note that during those forty years he only missed two weeks for reasons of ill-health.Moreover, Mr.Carrière Is a pioneer of Shawinigan, for he saw our town rise, grow and develop into the prosperous industrial town it is today.The deceased leaves a widow, formerly Marie Proulx, and one daughter Estelle.In the name of the Company, we offer to the bereaved family our most sincere sympathies.
