NEW PRIZE FORPLANT SAFETY

1 0 0 0 0 0During the past year a plan of Pin and Bar

awards was adopted for all plants of INCO'sMining and Smelting Division. Neat lapelbuttons of sterling silver finished in gold andgreen, the awards signify plant safety andwhen an employee is seen wearing one it willindicate that he as an individual has helpedmake his plant a safe place to work.

A plant wins the award when it completes100,000 shifts without anyone having an acci-dent involving the injured person in the lossof more than six days' time, When the plantworks its first 100.000 safe shifts every personon the payroll on the date the 100,000 shiftsnre completed is entitled to the triangular pin,illustrated above, and every time an additional100.000 safe shifts are worked by the planteach pin-holder will receive a bar for attach-ment to it. Those who are new employees atthis time will get the original triangular pin.

To date three plants have qualified for theaw,ird and presentations will be made as soons- possible.

Coniston Band Plays Finely Balanced Concerts to Big AudiencesWhen Coniston Band presents one of its concerts the auditorium

in the Nickel Club is filled to capacity. Maestro Dan Totino, accomp-lished musician that he is, has brought his band literally from a"standing start" to the status of a highly polished musical organization.A recent program, for instance, included 14 numbers ranging fromworks of the old masters like Strauss and Brahms to light-heartedmodern melodies, and wound up in a blaze of symphonic glory withElgar's "Pomp and Circumstance." The three pictures 1, 2 and 4 are

candid shots of the band during the performance. In No. 1 Roger

Martin is playing the cornet solo in a special arrangement by Band-

master Totino of Guy Hardelot's "Because." In No. 3 a Coniston girl,

oblivious of the camera, enjoys the rendition of Brahms' Hungarian

Dance No. 6. And in Picture No. 5 a group of boys, from their

vantage points on the stairway, clearly show by their expressions the

value of a good musical unit in the development of a community.

It Was the Toughest January in Years

With the gentle touch of Spring in the air, and the snow banks gradually withering

away, now it can be told. INCOites of Sudbury District endured in January one of the coldest

months on record, while at Port Colborne both temperatures and snowfall were also something

to tell the great-grandchildren about.

The following table, prepared for the Triangle by C. D. Ferguson, chief of INCO's

Agricultural Dept., shows temperatures recorded in Copper Cliff for January. 1945 as com-

Canada HonorsIts Girl Guidesand Boy Scouts

Bright -eyed little Irma Jaatanen , aged 10but wise beyond her years , the other night cookone of the most important steps of her younglife. Raising her right hand in a three - fingeredsalute and extending her left to clasp the handof Divisional Commissioner Hazel Duncan,she became formally enrolled as a Girl Guide,member of 4th Sudbury (INCO) Company.

Many pledges were acknowledged in thathandclasp-serious pledges which will havetheir bearing on almost everything Irma thinksand says and does in the coming years, but ifshe honors them fully and truly she will reachthe threshold of womanhood immeasureablyricher for it, and she will be ready for theresponsibility of citizenship and whatever elselife has in store for her.

Last month Canada took a week to honor itsGirl Guides and Boy Scouts, young Canucksenlisted in the great movement which Baden-Powell left them as a heritage. From one endof the Dominion to the other special cere-monies and demonstrations acknowledged theworth of the Laws which they have promisedto obey.

Triangle dropped into the INCO EmployeesClub to visit the 4th Sudbury (INCO) Com-pany, and got the pictures which appear onthis page. No. 1 shows the ceremony in whichIrma Jaatanen was welcomed into the com-pany. Behind her stands Doris Lain, PatrolLeader (Blue Cord).

Firefighters Return from Service Overseas

Not exactly "visiting firemen" but mighty welcome nevertheless were these former INCO plant workers when they called on Assis-ant Superintendent W. J.

Six former employees at INCO's Port Col-borne Refinery are back home after two anda half years overseas battling the fires whichthe marauding Nazis left in their wake intheir aerial attacks on Britain.

Volunteers in the Corps of Canadian Fire-fighters, the lads were all former members ofPort Colborne Fire Department, from whichno less than 18 have enlisted in variousbranches of the services in this war, a recordfor Canada among towns of that size.

Bill Haggerty, Isidore Cam, and FrankDimond worked in the Anode Department,No. 4 Building, before they enlisted. CharlieDiwell was in the carpenter shop. Yves Camwas an INCOite by adoption, engaged on asteady trucking contract at the plant. Thesixth member of the group, Clarence Beck,who unfortunately was in Hamilton the daythe Triangle camera was clicking, worked inNo. 2 Building.

Two other INCOites with the Firefighters,Bill Cook of the Electrolytic Department andClarence Jones of the Anode Department,were still overseas at the time of writing butwere expected home soon.

BIRNEY RINK'SPIEL WINNER

Although only one got over the hog lineas far as the jewelry was concerned, therewere four Copper Cliff rinks in the annualNorthern Ontario Curling Association Bon-spiel held at Sudbury and Copper Cliff lastmonth.

The ClifFites, both winners and losers, hadthemselves a swell time, met old and newfriends in the fine spirit of comradeship whichcurling of all sports often seems best ableto create and sustain.

Tom, Birney's quartet, seen in No. 1 of thefour pictures on this page, hit pay dirt in oneof the two main shows of the 'spiel, the Pre-sident's Cup. Sound and steady curlingthroughout the event carried them into thesemi-finals where they were forced to bow toDemorest. The latter lost out in the final to"Bunny" O'Connor. Left to right the Birneyrink was: Bob Holliston, second; Jim Hudson,vice skip; Tom Birney, skip; Mike McGrath,lead. They received third prize, leather bill-folds.

The other Cliff entries, as photographed,were:

2. The Morrison rink: Ken Madill, viceskip; Jess Morrison, skip; Johnny Cecchetto,second; Dave Aubin, lead.

3. The Godfrey rink: George Hazleden,lead; Frank Morrow, vice skip; A. Godfrey,skip; Lawrence Fleurie, second.

4. The Walberg rink: Angus McNeil, lead;Jack Duncan, vice skip; Holly Hyland, second;Oscar Walberg, skip.

A total of 52 rinks, biggest entry in 58years, took part in the bonspiel. The ice atboth Sudbury and Copper Cliff was attractive-ly decorated for the gala event. In the Cliffdraw-palace two well-known veterans of theroarin' game, George Hudson and Bill Jessup,lent valuable service as referees, and CharlieTuttle supplied snappy refreshment service.

Harry Claridge of Sudbury picked off the'spiel's Grand Aggregate with nine wins andone loss . Another prized plum, the BritishConsols event, went to that skilled skip BillMcMitchell, who subsequently took his rink toKirkland Lake and annexed Northern Ontariolaurels in this classic competition.

Big Year at CliffWith a membership of 111, 20 more than

is president and Tom Birney is secretary-treasurer. The official chronicles of the Clubare again in the hands of Jim Hazleden, forwhom all curlers are wishing an early recoveryfrom surgical treatment in Toronto.

First event to be completed at the Cliff thisseason was the junior Bonspiel , in which 28rinks competed. Jack Duncan 's rink was

triumphant, taking out Farrell in the semi-final and trimming Lorne Hudson in the final.The champs: Jack Duncan, skip; Angus Har-

Ryan Safety Award, In threeyears of competition for this coveted award,Ontario mines have always led the field. If itsa case of "A.

The Ryan Award is based on the occurrenceof accidents causing is loss of time of six days ormore, and in this respect varies slightly from ourown Company records. Frood's experience for1944 results from a total of 24 accidents and,win lo.e or draw, the organization deservessincere congratulations.

Maybe the c ' kens are being counted beforethey're hatched, ocause no announcement has yetbeen made as to the Award winner. But in anyevent Frood has made a fine bid for Dom-inion', highest Safety honor end all INCO willbe proud of its record.

Frequency figures for the four INCO mines in1944 on the Ryan competition basis were : Frood,12.64; Creighton, 13.54; Levack, 19.34; Carson,24.50.
