2nd Issue, October, toot WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER Party Approves Price Control Canada’s New Democratic Party has endorsed a policy of price regu- lation to protect the country’s con- sumers. The party’s founding convention adopted the program committee’s recommendation on the subject al- though the delegates earlier had re- jected a motion from the floor for imposition of direct price controls. Professor Michael Oliver of McGill University, chairman of the program committee, explained that the committee did not conceive of price controls being imposed on a wide range of goods. But he sug- gested the party could keep prices down by occasional and selective control over prices. Unremitting War In the program section dealing with consumers, the new party promised to conduct unremitting war on unscrupulous promotion tech- niques, misleading advertising, poor quality and over-priced goods. Turning to the drug industry, the party promised energetic measures to prevent the drug manufacturers from exploiting the public and to revise patent laws where necessary. These steps would include licensing manufacturers and, where necessary, producing essential drugs under pub- lic auspices. The sale of drugs under their generic or chemical name would be fostered. The party called for designation of a member of the cabinet, assisted by a research organization, to represent the consumer point of view on all issues. The program promised to set limits on interest rates charged on consumer credit. Credit unions and co-operative organizations would be encouraged as a bulwark of con- sumer self-help. What's New For You ELECTRICALLY CONDUCT- IVE PAINT developed in Japan is said to provide coating with good conductivity, high mechanical strength and excellent flexibility. Paint consists of mixture of very small metallic particles and slightly larger granules of thermoplastic resin dispersed in a liquid. Although the liquid does not act as a solvent —the granules are not actually dis- solved in it—it can be evaporated from the coated surface by applica- tion ‘of heat. Heating also causes resin granules to fuse and act as a binder for the metallic particles. Manufacturer says paint can be applied to almost any surface in- cluding cloth and, if special care is taken, an electrolytic coating can be applied os top of ae TO pena Sas with a joint which must carry electricity, U.S. firm is making conductive adhe- sive. Silver powder mixed with ad- hesive provides joint with resistance of only 0.1 ohm per centimetre. Ad- hesive has a shear strength in order of 4,000 Ib. per sq. in. Firm can supply it either in ready-mixed form which has pot-life of a year or as two chemicals which must be mixed within 90 minutes of opening. Both cure overnight at room temperatures or in a few minutes at 38 deg. F. % a” ™ WASHABLE PLASTIC LINING for application to interior surfaces of silos, bins, hoppers and similar storage containers is said to have good abrasion resistance and pre- vents materials in granular form from adhering to container. Lining: can be applied by brush, roller or spraygun and will harden at ordin- ary temperatures which, says maker, means it can be used in any location. ELECTRO-MAGNETIC FLOW METER of new type is said to ex- tend greatly range of application on which this type of flow meter can be used. It’s said to be capable of hand- ling measurement or flow in both liquids and slurries with conductiv- ity as low as 0.1 millionth of a thousandth of an ohm per cubic centimetre. This increase in sensiti- vity of measurement rate of flow of fluids which approach virtually pure hydrocarbons can now be accurately determined. Meter does not cause obstruction. Performance remains unaffected by changes in viscosity or density of fluid concerned. VVIVVIV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV Sick List Royal Columbian a Sis: L and S$.
