Inco's ActivitiesHad OutstandingSuccess in 1959

In 1959 Inco delivered 317 040.000pounds of nickel - a record.

At the end of the year the Com-pany and its subsidiaries had 28.195employees, also a record. The geo-graphical distribution was: Canada,19,161; United Kingdom, 4,980;United States and other countries,4,054.

Approximately 2,750 of the em-ployees have been in the service ofthe Company for 25 years or longer.

The number of shareholders atthe year-end was 65,812.

Inco copper deliveries were alsoimpressive last year, reaching 252,-450,000 pounds compared with thepostwar high of 280,810,000 in 1957.Iron ore deliveries, 162,000 longtons, were more than 30 per centabove those for 1958. Deliveries ofthe platinum metals were thesecond highest for any year.

Throughout the year, the Com-pany sought to strengthen nickel'scompetitive position by recapturingmarkets lost to substitute materialsand by expanding existing markets.Promotional campaigns were car-ried on by the Company to increasethe sale of nickel-containing pro-ducts manufactured by others.

The Company's product researchactivities ranged over a wide fieldlooking toward the development ofnew products containing nickel andof new applications for existingnickel-containing products. Exem-plifying the results of this worka new series of very high strengthnickel alloy steels containing 20 to30 per cent nickel was developedin the Company's research labora-tories and was announced duringthe past year.

Gii'l Guides Are CelebratiligTheir GoldeH Jubilee Yeai'

Completing a full half -century offine character building, 1960 isGuiding's Golden Jubilee Year, andGirl Guide companies all acrossCanada are joining in the celebra-tion.

To mark the occasion a specialCanadian five-cent stamp has beenissued bearing the Girl Guide em-blem.

Guide companies themselveshave sown a golden path across theland in the form of nearly one mil-lion golden tulips, planted last fallat nearly all locations whereGuides meet. Formal recognitionof this unique undertaking will bemade later when the first tulipsbloom.

The first Girl Guide company inCanada was formed at St. Cath-

erines in 1910, only a short timeafter the movement had beenfounded by Agnes Baden-Powell,sister of the founder of the BoyScouts. The Brownies, Torinerlycalled Rosebuds," were formed in1913.

Mrs. D. Forster, long a dedicatedGuide worker in the Sudburydistrict, was associated with thatearly group at St. Catherines, andDr. Helen Wilson of Toronto,mother of Incos Dr. B. M. Wilson,was a member of the first company.

Today Guides are active in manycountries of the world and the(Juide credo, to build better citi-zens, with all that this implies, isan integral and recognized forcein community life.

Eachcamp will accommodate two Guidu'sfrom each province plus two fromGreat Britain.

The Sudbury division has thcdistinction of having two of itsGuides numbered among the 22chosen from Ontai'ij to attendJubilee camps. This is a highaverage and reflects very credit-ably on the calibre of Guiding inthe district. The two lucky Guidesare Margaret Rose of 2nd Lockerbycompany and Dorothy Klein of4th Minnow Lake company. Marga-ret will attend the camp in BritishColumbia and Dorothy. who re-cently received her Gold Cord, willgo to New Brunswick.

A practically unlimited source ofenergy has already been harnessedn Manitoba's newest town of

Thompson, and probably could beused to operate the Inco works ifor any reason the Kelsey power

Xn its first season the ThompsonBoys' Hockey League gave everyindication of making the townanother happy hunting ground forthe big league scouts in the bestWestern Canada tradition.

About 80 boys were organized inthe initial edition of the league,In the 7-and-under age group therewere the Rockets, coached byJerry Frolek, and the Flyers,coached by Bob Hurst. The juniorsection 8 and 9 years had theThompson Tornadoes, with BroEyjolfsson as coach, and the RedDevils under Jack McDougall andArchje Thom. In the intermediates10 and 11 were the Red Eagles

coached by Andy Rickaby and theTimber Wolves under Don Gray,while the seniors 12 to 16 weredivided into the Thompson War-riors under Vic Goodman and theRed Men under Neil Adams.

Committee in charge of theleague consisted of Don Gray, AndyRickaby, Cliff Alguire and JerryBradshaw, assisted by Carl Nesbitt,Torn Suchy, Torn Norquay. RossFalconer and Dr. J. B. Johnston.
