As the sun goes down tonight ...
. . . it will ht: the signal for a great spectacle to spread
westward across this broad land of ours. Millions of people wi l l
see it, yet scarcely one of them will think it worthy of comment.
It is the forgotten wonder, lost among so many newer wonders. It is
electric light. From myriad city winc-lolvs it will shine forth,
creating its own heautiful patterns i n the night, as in the view o
f the Vancouver \\aterfrorlt a lwvr . It will stream from t h e
open doorways of farm builtlings in remote com- munities . . . poke
probing fingers of light into the sky from airport heacons . . .
and, evrrywhere, set about its task of adding plcasant h o u r s to
the day for well- earned recreation. Today we have moved far heyond
the point where we light our homes solely f o r the purpose of
being able to see comfortably: we now devise interior
lighting
from playitlg Imst~ball and lennis t o loa(litlg frcight r a n and
larlding airliners. Canadian General Electric has l ~ ~ n in the
husinrss o r making electric lamps f o r over sixty years. I t has
pio- neered a long succession o f imprc~vcmrnts that have resulted
in twtter i l l u m i r l a t i o r ~ - i r l c l ~ ~ ( ~ i ~ ~ ~
the insidc- frosted h u h , the new 1Vhite Hulh with even higher
eficiency and softly-diffused light, ant1 the rrmarLahly
ecmnomical, long-lifr, fluorescent lamp that has rcl-o- lutionizcd
the lighting of industrial [~lants , s tores anll offices. In no
small measure, its w n r h has resulted in the cost of good
lighting falling consistently o w r the years. Not so many years a
g o a 6O-walt hulh c o s t calosc to a dollar. Today you can huy
one for atmut a fifth o f that and yet i t will give you much more
light. As a public service, the Company maintains a l igh t ing
Institute where people from industry, hospitals. hotcls,
murlicipalities-where\.pr goo11 lighting is nce~I(d--
may learn all that is newest and best in lighting p,rartic.e.

NO CEILING IN ENGINEERING 0 Every year brings challenging new
demands to Canadian engineering. The nation’s rapid industrial
expansion. . . the need for more advanced scientific
for better living through the products of engineering defence
techniques.. . the desire of Canada’s people
. . . all these keep the horizon steadily broadening for the
country’s engineers.
Matching the new demands are new engineering advances that give
promise of further development with no limit in sight. To the
student with ability in maths and science, Engineering offers a
stimulating and rewarding future.

Sturm und Drang Among The Writers
THE VANCOUVER SUN’S dozen or so columnists and commentators are a
notably colorful group of writers whose free-wheeling approach to
whatever swims into their ken is beautifully free from unanimity.
Each
thinks and writes as the spirit moves and not seldom does their
clash of opinion resound in Wagnerian majesty. Topics of public
interest
receive, thus, the maximum of examination and ventilation, to the
edification and vast entertainment of Sun readers. All who like
the
public discussion of all sides of everything are invited to
subscribe to The Sun.
