Working day-and-night, hydraulicjacks were used to lift the reactorin a series of small steps. Thespecial bogies the reactor is ridingon were installed after the vesselwas removed from the railroadflatcar.

When installed on the reactor, this spur gearwill rotate the charged reactor on its tiresand rollers . Made of steel and weighing18 tons, the gear is driven by a variable speedreversible drive . Above : Forty-two feet aboveground, the reactor is about to be winchedinto the building.

EASY DOES ITIn a delicate operation requiringthree days, the second of threepressure carbonyl reactors wasgently lowered onto its founda-tion recently in the new CopperCliff Nickel refinery. The lastreactor will be installed beforethe end of the year.

The heaviest vessels to bebrought into the refinery, the250 ton reactors have an overalllength of 43 feet and an outsidediameter of about 13 feet.

They were raised by a huge100 foot gantry, designed andbuilt for this purpose by Do-minion Bridge, fabricators of thereactors, to a position to permitthem to be pulled into the build-ing.

A special eight-axle car isused to move the reactors fromDominion Bridge's Montreal fac-tory to the Copper Cliff site.Moving only during daytime, thespecial train travels at a maxi-mum speed of 20 mph., due tothe heavy weight and size of thevessels.

The reactors are the heart ofthe Inco-patented pressure car-bonyl process for the recovery ofpure nickel from a variety ofnickel-bearing feed materials. In-side the reactors, carbon mon-oxide will be combined with thefeed at high temperatures and

pressures to produce nickel andiron as volatile carbonyls, leav-ing copper, cobalt, preciousmetals and impurities in a con-centrated residue. The nickel andiron carbonyls will undergo fur-ther treatment in the nickel

refinery, while the residue willbe pumped to the electrowin-ning department at the copperrefinery.

Designed for an annual pro-duction capacity of 100 millionpounds of nickel in the form ofpellets and 25 million poundsof nickel in the form of powders,

the new refinery is scheduled tocome on-stream next year.

Inside the nickel refinery, DominionBridge riggers lower the hugereactor onto its solid concretefoundation. Hydraulic jacks liftthe vessel up so the bogies can beremoved, then lower It carefullyand slowly In a series of steps.

SEARC H FOR TH E FUTURE

The search for more efficientprocesses to extract metals fromore is a never-ending task of theOntario Division's process tech-nology department. The days ofeasily mined and treated highgrade ore are almost over, andtoday the job of discoveringimaginative new ways of eco-nomically treating lower gradesulphide ores has become a toppriority. The Division's new min-eral dressing test centre locatedbeside the Copper Cliff concen-trator is committed to this ob-jective.

Within its confines, a smallteam of technologists work

around the clock operating, on atest basis , a miniature concentra-tor with a 30 ton per day capac-ity. The small plant also servesas a "finishing school " for re-cently-graduated technical staff.Apart from being provided theopportunity to apply their techni-cal training , these researchersbecome acquainted with morepractically oriented operatingproblems.

Duplicating most of the func-tions of a full -size plant, the testcentre 's equipment includes acone crusher , rod and ball mills,30 flotation cells, four magneticseparators , and two 8-foot thick-

eners . A wide variety of auto-matic controls and recorders areused to control and monitor thevarious test programs.

The new centre has a dual role.Primarily, it will be used to pro-vide the technological expertisenecessary to ensure the con-tinued efficient operation of thecompany's concentrators. Addi-tionally it will be employed toevaluate potential treatment flow-sheets for new Sudbury districtand foreign sulphide ores.

"As we go to lower grade sul-phide ores," Dr. Mike Sopko,manager of process technology,said, "the need to maximize both

the rejection of useless rock andthe overall metals recoveries be-comes vitally important to thecompetitive position of our sul-phide ore processing industry.The test centre is an investmentdirected to ensuring our com-pany's continued prominent rolein the world nickel market-place."

The centre, which commencedoperation this summer, is cur-rently working on the develop-ment of improved pyrrhotite re-covery flowsheets. Apart fromdecreasing the overall tonnage ofnickel concentrate to be smelted,the production and stockpiling

of additional tonnages of rela-tively low nickel content pyrrho-tite concentrate would, if imple-mented, decrease our sulphurdioxide emissions.

Besides the pilot plant, the testcentre also boasts laboratoryfacilities where preliminary test-work and more fundamentalstudies are carried out.

It takes many different kindsof people, working as a team, tokeep inco competitive in themarket-place. Success realized bythe mineral dressing test centre'sstaff will result in more efficientand easier to control concentra-tor operations. This will keepInco in the forefront of thistechnology for years to come.

Brian Lyons and John Jazymantas are "panning " to obtain a quicksample of the mineral composition of the froth . Their "panning" isidentical to that used by old-time prospectors for gold.

Up Side DownWhen it comes to better ideasfor doing things, Inco peopletake a back seat to nobody.Imaginative employees with thecourage to try things differentlyare part of the reason Inco hasbeen so successful.

The copper refinery was thesite recently of an unusual ven-ture: the first use of a raise bore

Drill foreman Larry Poulin, operator LouisThibault, and helper Doug Morisset at workin the casting pit.

machine to ream down insteadof up.

Raise bore machines are under-ground creatures. The OntarioDivision has 10 of them whichare used to drive ore passes,ventilation raises, or manways,hundreds of feet deep. Insteadof back-reaming the hole to thefull raise diameter, as is done

underground, the reaming headwas reversed and driven slowlydownwards in the copper re-finery.

The problem was to drill ahole 70 feet deep inside anexisting building full of sensitiveequipment. The conventionalmethod of blasting was rejectedbecause of the damage predictedto equipment already installed.The raise borer also offered thesafest way of completing the job.

An unexpected bonus achievedby using the raise borer was that

the job was completed fasterthan anticipated: the drill crewtook only two weeks to set upand complete the three-footdiameter hole.

The deep hole will be used tohouse a hydraulic jack for thecopper refinery's new continuouscasting process. As copper cakesare cast, the cylinder will com-press, lowering them into thehole. When the 28-foot billetsare poured, the cylinder willreverse, lifting the billets out forcutting and shipping.

Winners take allFortune smiled recently andbrought experiences of a lifetimeto two Inco families. For theLucien Chartrands of Levack Sta-tion, $100,000 was their rewardfor sending in a coupon, whilethe John Leblancs of Carson wereamongst the lucky 3,000 Cana-dian hockey fans who flew toMoscow to watch the final gamesof the exciting Canada-Russiahockey series.

Lucien and Jeanne Chartrandare the first Canadians to win thePublishers Clearing House grandprize. "I just couldn't believe

that someone would give awaysuch a prize," Jeanne says."We're building a new houseand we'll use some of the moneyon this."

The couple sent in four cou-pons before the telephone callcame to inform them they'd won.Jeanne took the call and rushedto Chelmsford where Lucien wasworking on their new house. "Ithought she was putting me on,"he said. "I remembered sendingthem in, but I didn't expect any-thing out of it."

Louis Kislik, president of Pub-

John and Sylvia Leblanc look over their hockey program and some ofthe souvenirs they brought home from Russia.

lishers Clearing House, said thisis a common reaction. "All ourwinners find it hard to believethey've really won all that moneyuntil we present them with acheque."

His company flew the coupleto New York for three days toreceive their prize. Lucien saidthat while the whirlwind trip wasvery enjoyable, they were tiredon their return. Besides the pre-sentation ceremony, Lucien andJeanne visited the magazine com-pany's offices, attended severalcocktail parties in their honorand took a sightseeing tour ofManhattan Island.

Employed by Inco for 61/2years, Lucien is a piller leader atLevack mine and presently workson 3200 level. Both he andJeanne are in their mid-twentiesand have been married five years.The couple has two sons, Dennis,2, and Claude, 4. Lucien's sparetime is spent building their newhome, while Jeanne likes to sew.She makes most of her own andher children's clothes.

Lucien started building histhree bedroom bungalow in mid-June, after working all winter onthe plan, which is his own de-sign. The house features anantiqued wood finish on thewalls, as well as an extremelylarge kitchen with a southernview. He built the utility roomupstairs so all the main appli-ances are on the main floor,saving Jeanne a lot of steps goingdownstairs.

Although he's had quite a fewcalls, especially investment offers,Lucien has no plans to spend hismoney yet. "It came in easy,but if I don't watch out, it cango out easy, too," he said. "We'llget settled in our home first, thenmake some plans for the money."

John and Sylvia Leblanc wontheir trip as a result of a dealer'sincentive contest from Coca-Cola. Sylvia manages the jollyJug store on the FalconbridgeHighway and her name waschosen from amongst 10 finalistsin the Sudbury district. John is adriller on 2400 level in Carsonmine and has been with thecompany since 1964. Married 17years, the couple have threeschool-age boys.

The flight to Russia was a spe-cial thrill for Sylvia, who'd neverflown before. "It was reallygreat," she said. The couplestayed in the Intourist Hotel, thesame place Team Canada staved

and rubbed shoulders with theplayers every day. "We talked tothem all--Pete, Frank, Phil, andYa,^-- he's a very funny guy,"John said. "Thev were justnormal people," he added, "Iexpected them to act like bigshots but they mixed with usall."

As for the games, "they werethrilling. I thought my heart wasgoing to stop," Sylvia said. Johnsaid the hockey games were thebiggest thrill of his life. "Icouldn't wait for the next oneeach time." His favorite gamewas the final one which TeamCanada won with a last-minutegoal. The Russian fans were seri-ous and didn't cheer like theCanadians, he recalled, addingthat they livened up a little dur-ing the Russians' 5-2 lead in thefinal game.

Besides the hockey games, thecouple toured Moscow muse-ums, visited the Kremlin and RedSquare, the Moscow Circus, andSt. Basil's Basilica. They also rodethe Moscow subway and theirIntourist guides took them tofour of the subway's 52 stations.

"Everything is spotless," Johnsaid, "you just don't see cigaret-te butts on the streets and thesubway walls shine. You couldeat off them."

One contrast the couple notedwas shopping. "It's expensiveover there," Sylvia said, remem-bering a sweater she'd liked onlyto discover it cost almost $90,"and it looked like one whichcosts about $20 over here," shesaid.

Neither John nor Sylvia caredfor the Russian method of shop-ping which involves long queuesto select items and queuingagain to pay.

Food in the Intourist Hotel wasgood but plain. "We had a lotof raw eggs heated in hot waterfor breakfast, and little steaks forsupper. But there was no toastor milk in the hotel," John said.

"I really appreciated cominghome and the first thing I hadwhen I got in the house was apiece of toast," Sylvia said.

Another memory John broughthome was the Russians' love fordecorative pins and buttons. Hetraded Canada flag pins, whichwere free from the Canadian Em-bassy, for over 200 different Rus-^ian ones which portray politi-cians, airplanes, ships, and scenesat the Kremlin.

Hallowe'en witches and goblinsare becoming more scarce witheach passing year! Less and lessis seen of those ferocious goblinswho used to roam the streets... and the few witches that areleft upon their broomsticks havelost some of their terrorizingpowers.

Humans, too, have been rais-ing less of a ruckus on Hallow-e'en. The holiday that has itsorigin in terrorizing beliefs inspooks has, through the years inthis country, been turned over tothe "under 12" set, who seldomdevote more than a mild eveningof "trick or treating" to it.

Hallowe'en is almost as old ascivilization itself. The Romanswere the first to celebrate it anddid so with some elaborate knee-

The enthusiasm of themedieval Britons for harvest cele-brations sent Hallowe'en's popu-larity soaring. Singing, dancing,and thanksgiving to the localsun-god began, and haystacksbecame popular symbols.

After a few days of gaiety,however, the pagan peasantsbegan to shudder in fear. Theybelieved that the spirits of thedead used ghoulish bodies forone night in order to inflictreprisals on all who had offendedSamhim, the local God of thedead.

In Wales, bonfires were lightedat Hallowe'en for fortune telling,

Safe hauntingOctober 31 and the bewitching hours are almost here. Tiny tots willsoon pretend to be goblins and wicked witches for one night. It's

fun for the children, but there's also danger lurking in the dark.The youngsters, preoccupied with the excitement of trick-or-treating

are heedless of danger. Parents should stress the following safetyprecautions and watch for the most common hazards:

1. Check costume.Make sure it isn't so long as to trip thechild. Don't allow boys to wear large,heavy boots, little girls to wear high heels.All costumes should have some whitematerial or reflectorized tape.2. Use make-up instead of mask.Many masks have narrow eye slits whichimpair vision. A close-fitting rubber maskcan even suffocate a child.3. Light jack-o-lanterns with flashlights.Never allow children to use candles.4. Keep "trick-or-treat" between

6 and 8 p.m.Set a specific time for child to return home.Remind him that Hallowe'en is for fun andfrolic, not vandalism and violence.

and it was the custom for eachmember of a family to throw amarked stone into a dying fire.If any stone was missing in themorning it meant that personwould die before the year ended.Fires were also lighted by super-stitious folks who believed allthe dead were released in spiritfrom their graves on Hallowe'en.

In Medieval England, cakeswere baked as ransom for deadsouls, and women begged fromdoor to door for "soul cakes",promising in return to pray forthe departed in the donor's

5. Never jaywalk.Caution youngsters not to dart across busystreets, driveways, down alleys, or acrossparking lots. Accompany very youngchildren on their rounds.

6. Save "treats" to show at home.Warn children not to consume the"goodies" in the "trick-or-treat" bag untilthey've brought them home for yourinspection. Some sick, sadistic minds havethought of reversing the old ritual of trick-or-treating, and children have been givenapples with razor blades in them, pills,laxatives that look like candy, and evenpoison.7.

Superstition connected withblack cats stems from a middle-European belief that the mostwicked of all souls were changedinto vicious black cats, capableof working strange spells overthe living. When black catsbecame associated with horriblebroom-riding witches, they be-came all the more feared. TheItalians were the first to regardthem as the favorite form as-sumed by a witch.

Gradually, as Christianity tooka firmer hold in the British Isles,the belief in ghosts faded out,and the population began hold-ing religious services in prepara-tion for "All Saints Day." TheEnglish introduced Hallowe'en tothe New World, and the daytook enthusiastic root here.

Up until the 1930s, adultsacross the country took a moreactive part in the celebrationthan children. Since the 1940s,children have assumed the domi-nant role on Hallowe'en, collect-ing "treats" and playing "tricks".

holding TV antennas, on guards aroundnewly planted trees. Store trash cans, lawnmowers, bicycles, objects which might givevandals ideas, or be tripping hazards.Keep porch lights on.

8. Help trickster unwind.Before bedtime, let him tell you about hisfun. Give him a glass of hot milk or cocoa.A warm tub bath helps, too. If he showssigns of having been frightened, leave adim light in his bedroom.9. Drive with extreme caution

on Hallowe'en.When backing out, make sure a child isn'tin the driveway. Be especially alert forfender-high little tykes who may suddenlyspring out into the street.

INCO BALL PLAYERSHAPPY WITH SEASON PLAY

While some leagues may playbetter ball, have sharper uni-forms and draw bigger crowds,none have more fun or showmore enthusiasm than the Incoshift league and industrial leagueteams. Over 350 men enjoyedfastball after work on teamsformed at Frood-Stobie, Levack,Copper Cliff, Carson, Port Col-borne and Toronto.

Frood -Stobie set-up

Only five teams competed inthe Frood-Stobie shift league,down from 10 last year. Con-venor Cec Goudreau said thatforce adjustments and the sum-mer shutdown complicated theschedule so that there wereno underground teams. Many

players from underground weresigned to the remaining teams,however.

Frood Electric, coached byErnie Stelmakowich, finished firstin a close race with Frood En-gineering, coached by Cec. Theengineers, however, came out ontop in the playoffs. The otherteams and coaches, in orderof finishing, were Little Stobie(Brian Insley) Frood Mechanical(Tino Charron), and Stobie No. 7(Keith Rogerson). About 90 play-ers donned cleats to play 20games each at Frood-StobieAthletic Park.

Eldred Dickie, the one-manband for Frood-Stobie AthleticAssociation, donated a brand-new trophy to the league.

Named in his honor, the trophywill be presented for the firsttime to the Frood Engineers nextmonth.

Helping Cec organize theleague were Keith Rogerson, BobRanger, and Am Langille. Um-pire-in-chief was Omer Vallee,who had help in officiating fromPete Smith and Pat Soucie.Frood-Stobie Athletic Associa-tion again provided equipment,uniforms and bases.

Falconbridge. Levack convenorTed Atkinson had 30 men play-ing for Palumbo Drugs, coachedby Jimmy Lawrence, and hisown team, Crest Hardware. Theseven-team community leaguehad a 24-game schedule set up,and Crest finished second andPalumbo fifth. Both Inco teamswere knocked out in the play-offs.

Steve Lebedick of the OnapingElks was the league's top pitcherwith 12 wins and two lossescharged to him. Crest Hard-ware's Allan Riutta was the tophitter with a .350 average.

The league's umpire-in-chiefwas Leroy Talbot, with suchIncoites as Guy Quesnel, GlenAtkinson, Dick MacDonald,

Ted said that this was the firstyear the companies and com-munities had cooperated in ashift league and that it workedwell. The Levack-OnapingTrophy has been established forthe best in the league, and theOnaping Elks have their nameson it for 1972 season.

Seven teams in Cliff

In common with all the shiftleagues, Copper Cliff convenorRay Frattini reported a decline inthe number of teams entered,and again the summer shutdownwas the main reason. The seventeams, down from 10 last year,played an 18-game schedule.Warehouse coached by GaryHall finished first but wereknocked out by Ron Pagan'sPowertel squad in the playoffsfor the Russells Esso trophy.

The other teams and theircoaches were Greenway (FrankMorrow), Transportation (Mark

Bidal), Separation (Jim Wilson),Concentrator (George Strong),and Reverbs (Bill Johnson).

About 105 players were signedby all the teams, with Powertel'sRay Bouchard being crownedthe class of the pitchers in theplayoffs, and Moe Villeneuve ofWarehouse, considered tops inleague play.

Helping Ray with the organ-ization were umpire - in - chiefLionel Bouchard and his two-man crew of referees, BillDoherty and Buzz Farmer.

Garson fields five

The five-team Garson leagueplayed a 10-game schedule withcoach Jack McDonald's teamfinishing first but being elimi-nated by the Surface team in thesemi-finals. Coaches of the Sur-face team were Moe Marunchukand Norm Zanutto. GeorgeJanicki's fourth-place Engineersknocked out Pat McColeman'steam in the semi-finals and wenton to win it all in the playoffs.

Gord and Charlie Chaperon'steam finished fifth in the league.

Some 75 players saw action,with Ron Boyd's six wins qualify-ing him for the title of toppitcher. He played for Mc-Donald. George Janicki, whoalso plays in the Capreol indus-trial league, hit .400 during sea-son play. One of the mostconsistent players all season wasEldon Carmichael who playedfor Surface. At 42 he's also oneof the oldest to participate inshift fastball.

Norm Zanutto was league con-venor and received help fromJerry Mulligan, Mike Sharko, andAl McCausland. Umpire-in-chiefwas Glynn Clarke, and umpireswere Mike Jewel, Charlie Cha-peron, and Hugh Rorison. TheGarson Athletic Association sup-ported the league and providedequipment, bases and uniforms.

Port's team fifth

The newest fastball loop in thePort Colborne area is the Indus-trial League which got underwaythis summer. The Lewis Textileteam, coached by John Torok,came third in the five-teamleague. John is a foreman on"B" shift in the Anode depart-ment of the nickel refinery. In-cluded in his line-up were manyIncoites from his shift. The teamlost three of its best players,Charlie Torok, Ray Cook and Joe

Masotti, when they transferredto Thompson's refinery follow-ing the curtailment at Port. Twoof the league umpires, DougPloughman and Alf Buzzi, werealso Inco men.

Toronto has 2 teams

Two Inco teams, the IncoRoyals from Toronto office, andthe J. Roy Gordon Lab's squad,were members of the eight-teamSheridan Park Softball Associa-tion. All of the 16-game sche-dule was played at ComincoField in the research community.

Don Baker's Royals finishedeighth, while Gerry Glaum's J.Roy Gordon team ended up inthird place, but was eliminatedin the semi-finals. Gary Bradley,from the lab team, was one ofthe league's best pitchers, whileDave Collie of the Royals hitfour home runs.

League president was GaryBradley from J. Roy Gordon, andthe rest of his committee camefrom other companies with re-search facilities in Sheridan Park.

Challenge

Don Baker asked the Triangleto issue an open challenge fromhis team to any Sudbury districtInco softball team. "There'sstill a few playing days left," hesaid, "if the northern playersaren't afraid of the cold."

WHERE YOU CAN BU S TO WOR K

More complete details are nowavailable concerning the Minis-

try of Transport and Communi-cation's "demobus" project forSudbury. The system will beoperated by Sudbury Transit, inwhose colors the buses will bepainted.

The Triangle is pleased to befirst to publish the shift transitroute maps, which can be pulledout for handy home reference.

There will be three types ofshift transit. First, a shuttle serv-ice from downtown Sudbury andGatchell to the Copper Cliffplants will operate in conjunc-tion with regular Sudbury Transitservice for the residents of FlourMill, Donovan, and parts of NewSudbury. Second, a "dial-a-bus"will operate in the Robinson and

Lockerby areas, providing door-

step pick-up and drop-off serv-

ice, and guaranteed reserved

seats. Third, an express service

will operate from New Sudbury,

Moonlight, Kingsmount and the

West End, providing fast, trans-

incoTHE INTERNATIONAL NICKEL COMPANY

OF CANADA, LIMITED

Inco has begun overhauling , updatingand unifying its international visual ap-pearance, the culmination of nearly twoyears of study and planning to develop amore uniform and effective corporateidentity for International Nickel,

Key elements in the program are thenewly designed " INCO" wordmark andcorporate signature style which weredeveloped to reflect the company'scharacter and industry authority.

Awordmark isa pronounceable symbolcombining the marketing benefits of alegal trademark with the additional valueof being readable to make sure the com-pany or product is unmistakably identi-fied. This is in contrast to the trademarkapproach that uses an abstract orgeometric design , pictorial device or

monogram which, although attractive,provides no guarantee of positive identi-fication to the average viewer. Take the"into triangle" for example. In Canadaalone there are wall over two thousandtrademarks or corporate symbols thatinclude a triangle.

The "INCO" wordmark was designedto convey durability, precision and pro-gressiveness, and will identify companyplants and offices all over the world. Itwill be seen on signs, vehicles and equip-ment, stationery and forms , technicaldocuments and other literature, advertis-ing and promotional material and pro-duct packaging.

The corporate signature typestyle ac-companying the wordmark will also bethe same in the company the world over.

Investigations had revealed some fiftydifferent typefaces being used for thecompany signature . And one of the prim-ary reasons for selecting this particulartypeface (it 's called Eurostyle or Micro-grarnma) is that it is readily available atprinting plants in the more industrializednations.

The identities of the parent company.divisions and subsidiaries will be retain-ed, along with established trademarks,and used in combination with the newcorporate identification policy.

Implementation of the internationalprogram, which is being co-ordinated byDonald Reid , manager of promotion andadvertising in the Public Affairs Depart-ment, Toronto, has been carefully plan-ned to permit a smooth and economical

13

transition from the old to the new. This isexpected to stretch over several years as

the wordmark will be introduced onlywhen present stocks of materials areused up, or as buildings, vehicles andsigns require painting.

Details of the program were workedout following an international study byStewart & Morrison Limited, Canadiandesigners and consultants, to determinehow employees, the public and cus-tomers around the world pictured thecompany. They found that InternationalNickel - or whatever name the company

was known by, such as "Inco", and even"The Nickel Company" - was widelyrespected for its integrity and leadership.Subsidiaries were held in the same highregard, but there was considerable publicconfusion over the relationship betweenthe parent company and its subsidiaries,divisions and products from variouslocations.

The consultants also assembled a de-tailed picture of what turned out to be anamazing variety of methods and stylesof visual identification used by the com-pany's operations in different locations.

At this point, the consultants and aninternational Inco steering committee,chaired by John Page, executive vice-president of Inco Inc., New York, met tostraighten out the hodgepodge of con-fusing verbal and visual impressions ofthe company. One of their key decisionswas to agree on the word " IN CO" for thecorporate wordmark. The company hadregistered the word as far back as 1920.

The next task for the consultants wasto come up with a wordmark designwhich would give the signature an in-dividual and recognizable stamp of per-

Further, itis a fundamental color which doesn't goout of style. It will be used primarily asthe base color on large-scale items, suchas signs and vehicles.

When the identity program has beenfully implemented , most facets of lnco sworld -wide operations will be linked vi-sually to the over-all corporation.

A FAMILY AFFAIR

The Nickel District abounds inopportunities for families toenjoy themselves outdoors.There's probably no better areafor swimming, hiking, campingand picnicking than here. Oneof the most unusual spots tocombine all these activities is theRiverbend Zoo in Noelville,about an hour's drive fromSudbury.

Nestling in 160 beautiful acres,complete with examples of eachspecies of tree native to Ontario,waterfalls and miles of naturetrails, the zoo is home to 100different species of wild anddomesticated animals. The ani-mal population of over 250fluctuates as new litters are bornand older animals die, but new

ones are being added continu-ously. Coming soon are analligator and two seals.

The zoo is liberally sprinkledwith picnic tables, right down tothe waterfront on a secluded lakewhere a swimming beach isplanned for next year. Campersare welcome as long as theyobserve good housekeepinghabits and avoid destroying wild-life or plantlife. A miniaturecable car, across a gully and astream, is popular with children.

Too often the accomplishmentsof individuals in the NickelDistrict go unappreciated. Who,for instance, would credit thisarea with a zoo containing oneof the finest collections of bigcats in North America. When the

Ford Motor Co. wanted a livecougar for their television com-mercials, they found it at theRiverbend. Among other cats ondisplay are two lions (one calledSugar Plum), two tigers, a puma,a jaguar, a lynx, a leopard, anda bobcat.

Besides its big cat collection,you'd have to travel to Europeor Africa to find a genet, a mem-ber of the weasel family; to Peruor Columbia to see a SpectacleOwl; and to South America tosee the world's largest rodent,the Capa Bara. Riverbend's ex-ample is still young, but it willeventually grow to weigh 100pounds. Another rarity is thezoo's albino groundhog.

The list of other species seems

endless: Fallow deer, elk, Reddeer from Europe, the Halfmoonbear from Asia, the Sloth bearfrom India, Alaska Kodiak bears,a Mexican Kinkajou, and all sortsof the popular monkeys andparrots. Beavers, wild canariesand cardinals, and transientducks and geese nest on theproperty, too.

A thrill for children and adultsalike are the animals wander-ing free. Uninvited gueststo picnic lunches are likely toinclude sheep, ducks and geese,rabbits and goats. Usually keep-ing watch over the zoo entranceis Beau Geste, a friendly six-month old lion cub.

There's an interesting humanstory behind the zoo. Owner

John Haines has suffered threeheart attacks during the last yearand now is under doctor's ordersto avoid work of any kind. Theburden of operating the zoo andfeeding the animals has fallen onhis wife, Georgina, and daughterVerna, who think nothing ofgetting up every two hours tofeed just-horn leopard cubs, ornursing sick animals in the kit-chen. It's a big job for thewomen because the animals con-sume 1,500 pounds of meat aweek, 50 tons of feed during thewinter, and hundreds of dollars'worth of vitamin supplements totheir diets.

Like his father, John has beeninterested in big animals all hislife. "Without the lifetime ex-perience with them," he said,"the zoo wouldn't be possible.You have to know how to nursethem because the vets won'ttouch 'em if they're sick." John'sunderstanding of the animalsapproaches that of the fictionalDoctor Doolittle. Whether it's atiger in discomfort with rickets,a painful disease that softens the

hones, or a frightened middle-aged wolf, they all recognize himand seem to trust him. It's anamazing and heartwarming sight.

John maintains humans couldlearn much from animals if theyonly had the patience to observethem. Bears, for instance, knowthe best way to pack wounds,and buffalo indicate the weatherby their actions in the morning.When there's a storm brewing,they'll eat up and face into thewind until the bad weather isover, John said.

Besides sharing their livingspace with the animals, John andGeorgina raised 41 children, allbut three of them foster-children.

John's illness has handicappedhis ability to continue to developthe zoo. It is by no means a wayto get rich, he said. A big helpto Verna and John has been theTrailsmen Rod and Gun Club ofVal Caron. John credits the clubwith the survival of the zoo. "Iwas so sick, I was ready to closeup last spring," he said "Theirencouragement and help build-

ing cages and cleaning the placekept us afloat."

Little Stobie miner ArmandBelanger, Ontario sportsman ofthe year and secretary-treasurerof the Trailsmen, said the clubhas adopted the zoo. All theclub's civic projects withmentally-retarded or crippledchildren now centre around the

SQUARE DANCING REVIVED

Cliff Willichuk of Falconbridge leads the Nickel Eights.

"Up to the centre, whoop and a holler."

Country is "in", if it's ever reallybeen "out". That's the messagethe commentators that watchthese things tell us. Country andwestern music has been adoptedby the hip radio D.J.'s, the officecrowd embraced denim look infashion for 1972, and there's analmost unprecedented interest inhorseback riding.

Being carried along in thecountry boomlet is square danc-ing. Until recent years one ofthe most popular forms of recre-ation in the Nickel District,square dancing seemed to gointo a decline locally whichhas only been reversed in the lastyear. Both the 17W Swingers ofWaters Township and the NickelEights of Sudbury report a strongrevival of interest.

Geoff Griffiths (Copper Cliffengineering) of the Waters clubsays he and his wife, Nora, areconsidered "oldtimers" amongthe square dancing fraternity.They've been dancing sevenyears and Geoff's now one ofonly two local callers. He says

the average interest span is aboutfive years and that people driftaway as they find new hobbies,raise a family or feel they're tooold. Geoff's club had only threecouples when it was formedthree years ago. Last year 25couples were active membersand his club graduated a further16 couples in its beginnersclasses. The Nickel Eights boasta membership of about 25couples, too. There's also a smallactive group on ManitoulinIsland, and other clubs in nearbyNorth Bay, Sault Ste. Marie andBarrie.

Both the local clubs offerbeginners classes which startedthis month. The 20-week courses,open to anyone over 15 years oldand to single people, teach the50 basic square dancing steps, aswell as traditional round dancingsuch as the two step waltz. Costis only $2 a night and Geoff orNora Griffiths (telephone 692-3066) can provide the informa-tion on their own club as well asany others in the Nickel District.

Geoff and Cliff Willichuk, theother local caller, both ownseveral hundred records. Theirinvestment in amplifiers, speak-ers, turntables and mikes ap-proaches $5,000 each.

Contrary to the "hick" imageof square dancing, both Geoffand Cliff have a considerablerepertoire of modern music, suchas "Looking Out My Back Door",or CCR's "Proud Mary". Tradi-tional music includes "HillbillyFever", "Wabash Cannonball",etc.

There are two different kindsof square dances, hoedown

where anything goes in the formof steps, and singing calls whichhave a regular pattern. Roundcalling, or ballroom dancing, alsouses modern music. "It is mainlya matter of cueing the dancerson the floor," Geoff said. Besidesthe waltz, the cha-cha, tangosand even rock-and-roll are en-joyed by members of the club.

The 17W Swingers and NickelEights were hosts to over 80couples from northeastern On-tario last summer at the 17WRound-up. Next year's Round-upwill be bigger and better, Geoffsaid, and is slated for May 26.

Geoff and Nora Griffiths both call for the 17W Swingers.

ONE TO ONEOne man - one boy: do yourecall the hours of fun you onceenjoyed with your son or young-er brother. But what of theyoungster who's lost his father- he still needs the friendship,affection, and advice of an oldermale companion.

Brian Crowder, North mine'spersonnel man, is a volunteer"big brother". His "little brother"is 11-year-old John Gordon,fatherless since age 3. They wereintroduced to each other about ayear ago by the Big BrothersAssociation of Sudbury and Dis-trict.

John spends almost everyweekend with Brian and, sincethey both share an interest inhockey, quite often mid-weeknights if John's grade six home-work is done.

A former semi-professionalhockey player, Brian discoveredthat John played goalie in thepee wee leagues, but has a sin-cere desire to play forward. "He'sa big boy physically, but hisskating ability hurts him," Briansaid, "so I'm going to coach himand give him workouts as soonas we can get some ice time."

Besides the hockey, John hascome along camping and hunt-ing with Brian's own family oftwo sons. Both were new ex-periences for the boy. Brian saidhis own two sons love having anextra brother and his wife, Mary,enjoys having John out andcooking for him.

Being a big brother, however,isn't all fun and games. Brianfound that John needed somehelp in understanding how tospend his money wisely andorganize his time. Having livedin a female environment for solong, John lacked self-confidenceand independence. "These arethings you take for grantedamongst your own kids," Brianpointed out, "but John has neverhad the sort of advice on howto do it. I'm really proud of himfor what he's picked up in thelast year and that's self-rewardingin itself," he said.

The Big Brother movementcame into existence in New YorkCity in 1904 and by 1946 theorganization had grown into 13associations on both sides of theborder.

Sudbury's association was thebrain-child of two Inco instru-mentmen, Peter Nicholas Inowwith Ontario Hydro) and Harold

Bruce. Harold said he becameinterested because he wanted tobecome a big brother when helived in Peterborough. His in-terest continued after he movedto Sudbury and when he foundthere was no organization here,he and Peter started work lastyear to form one. They chose asteering committee and later aboard of directors was elected.Harold is currently treasurer ofthe local association, as well asa director. Fred Loewen, nickelrefinery, is also a member ofthe board, as is Dr. Paul Martinof Copper Cliff.

Vern Sherk, in charge of thethree-man screening and match-ing committee, said the hardestjob is finding enough bigbrothers to match with theyoungsters. I have a dozen boyswaiting now, he said, and we

desperately need French-speak-ing big brothers.

Before a big brother is select-ed, he is carefully screened bothto make sure he has a sincerewish to help and to find theinterests that will make a matchwith a boy.

"We look for men who arestable in their living and personalhabits and who can see theyhave the time to spend withanother kid," Vern said. "Youneed more than a big heart", headded, "you have to have thetime and not let the boy down."

Vern said that the Sudbury BigBrothers come from all walks oflife and include teachers andminers. "The main thing is thathe have a sincere wish to helpother people," he said. "We asknur big brothers to spend aminimum of four hours with

their boy," he said, "but most ofthem spend a lot more time thanthat. They don't get involvedwith the boy's family - we'renot a welfare agency - the ideais to get him out of his homeand into a new environment."

Besides the urgent need formore men to become big broth-ers, the organization also needsvolunteers to serve on its screen-ing and matching committee,and for publicity and otherchores. Big brothers director DanBrophy said that pensioners aremore than welcome to apply asbig brothers or to help withcommittee work.

Big Brothers: they're a goodgroup to know. Through them,many young boys will grow intowell-rounded adults and goodcitizens; without them, howmany won't get that chance.

Twice around for oilWhile the tank truck picturedbelow is making its first deliveryto Inco's Frood-Stobie mill, the5,000 gallons of oil on-board hasbeen "through the mill" oncebefore. A joint effort by Incoand Forsythe Lubrication Associ-ates Limited now allows spentcrusher oil from Inco's Frood-Stobie and Clarabelle mills to berecycled, following treatment inForsythe's refinery near Kitchener,Ontario.

In the past, spent oil was diffi-

cult to dispose of; one of its fewuses being for dust control onunpaved roads. Now, the onlywaste to be disposed of will bea sludge recovered in the "re-refining" process. It too, willfind its way to the unpavedroads, but as an ingredient inasphalt emulsions.

The process - under develop-ment for more than a year -will allow the Inco mills to useabout 36,000 gallons of recycledoil per year.

McDonald winsCliff tennisBob McDonald is the CopperCliff Tennis Club's new men'ssingles champion. Determinationshows on Bob's face (below) ashe makes a return in the hard-fought title knockout roundagainst Red Dunn. John Thomp-son, special projects, took theconsolation event. Bob and Redlater teamed up to win the men'sdoubles event, too.

Over 200 held membershipsin the club which was revivedthis year following the last fewyears' indifferent activity. VicEnglesakis, nickel refinery, andRed Dunn, tournament coordina-tor and community league chair-men, respectively, were keptbusy organizing events duringthe summer. Four club tourna-ments, called "tennis socials"were planned, but two wererained out.

Bob McDonald said the "tennissocials" were organized on aninformal basis so more peoplewould come out and play. Theidea, he explained, was for play-ers to finish a singles round, havea sandwich, and then pair upwith different people for a dou-bles round. In this way, he said,club members' enthusiasm waskept high and players tastedcompetition at all levels.

The community league was anew idea this year and attemptedto promote inter-club competi-tion. Copper Cliff hosted each ofLaurentian University and Sud-bury tennis clubs and played re-turn matches. Bob said the planmet only "limited success", how-ever, since Laurentian and Sud-bury did not play each other.The league will, however, con-tinue next year.

Another summer project wastennis lessons. About a dozentyros turned up each Mondayevening during the summer forinstruction from Bob and Red.

Eddie Cretzmanwins lawn awardEddie Cretzman, 303 Birch Streetin Lively, is the winner of theannual A. L. Gagnon MemorialTrophy for the most improvedlawn in that town. Eddie is thesixth winner of the cup. He is awarehouse general foreman inCopper Cliff.

The trophy was donated by BillTrezise, now a school teacherin Toronto, after Lorne Gagnonwas killed in a tragic auto acci-dent several years ago. Billworked with him, as a summerstudent, cutting grass in thetown.

Judges Alec Gray and TomVickers look for thickness, tex-ture, color, quality and freedomfrom weeds in judging the lawns.

East of Main Street, the townof Lively is built on the formerGagnon farm. Mrs. Gagnon stilllives nearby, in Waters Town-ship, and was instrumental inorganizing the sandwich lunchesfollowing the storm in 1970.

Canico busyin QuebecThe Canadian Nickel Company, awholly-owned subsidiary of Inco,and the James Bay DevelopmentCorporation are conducting ajoint exploration program on agroup of permits totalling 1,000square miles in the vicinity ofSakami Lake in the Province ofQuebec. The program is beingfinanced 75 per cent by Canicoand 25 per cent by James BayDevelopment Corporation.

Several prospect holes drilledto test anomalies have inter-sected narrow values of uraniumand thorium. Although the inter-section in one hole approachedcommercial grade and length, inthe opinion of our geologists themineralization encountered todate has not indicated the pre-sence of a commercial deposit.Drilling is continuing.

STAYING ALIVE HUNTINGby

DOUG OGSTONPurchasing a hunting licence does not make you a hunter,

sportsman or conservationist. Recreational hunting is nota right, but a privilege carrying with it certain re-

sponsibilities.

Proper preparation before leaving home ensuresan enjoyable day or week in the woods. Basic

equipment should be carefully prepared beforethe trip.

Select clothing which is both lightweightand warm. Your clothing should include a hatand vest, blaze orange in color, so you willbe seen in the woods. Footwear should besturdy and waterproof.

Prepare a small survival pack contain-ing the following articles: waterproof

matches, knife, length of rope, compass, mapof the area, dried soups, chocolate bar, flash

MJ1 light and extra socks . Carry this pack at all times-while in the bush.

Each year more crown land becomes privately-owned or leased by individuals or companies. Your

hunting licence does not give you right to trespass.Permission must be granted by the landowner before you

cross his fences. Hunters must respect the private propertyof farmers and lumber companies. If you receive permissionto hunt, be certain to close gates, and avoid shooting equip-ment or domestic animals or causing damage of any type tothe property.

Study carefully a map of the area you are going to huntand notify someone of your destination and approximate timeof return. Each year thousands of dollars are spent on thesearch and rescue of lost hunters. By setting a course oftravel and noting landmarks you can avoid spending the nightin the bush because you are lost.

Should you become twisted around and uncertain of theproper direction to proceed in, stop and think about the areayou have covered and mentally backtrack it. Far too oftenpanic causes hunters to lose their sense of judgment andreasoning. In a confused state you can wander aimlessly forhours, often in a big circle. Stay calm, take advantage of highland or the flow of creeks or rivers to find a bearing. Onceyou decide to spend the night, preparation should be madebefore dark. A shelter of branches, firewood and a bed ofspruce or cedar branches can ensure a comfortable night.Clearer thinking generally prevails the next morning.

Regardless of the method you use to hunt, be certain ofgame identification before you squeeze the trigger. Once arifle has been discharged there is no recalling the bullet.
