A Strange PlaceThere seems to be a rule in force on this campus ,

written or unwritten, that forbids Honours Re • lisp students

to work for They Ubyssey.

Atleast, this is what we are told by the Honours English

_students who work for us. They insist that they remain

anonymous, for fear of falling from favor with their in-

structors.

We don 't mind the very slight inconvenience this

causes us, and we are rather proud to. be singled out thusly .

Vi'e'd' just Iike to say we think this is a fairly stupid

rule. We would hate to meet the person who thought it up .

We are depressed enough by most of the people we comeha contact with here as it is.

Last year a Ubyssey staff member was forced to drop

an honours course in sociology or else quit The Ubyssey.

He could easily have taken on both tasks, and done well,

just as anyone intelligent enough to take an honours cours e

should be able to budget his time to include extra-curricular

activity. Fortunately for us, he chose to, drop the sociology

honours .

Every year recently we have had the same or a simila r

problem, with one or two staff members. Usually they

leave us .

Aside from being petty, this sort of regulation is grossly

unfair to the student it affects. Surely he should be allowed

to choose for himself whether he can spare time for extra-

curricular work.

Though no public faculty statement ever has made

clear the reasons for this regulation, the feeling appears to

be that The Ubyssey is an organization which takes too

much of an individual ' s time. We get the impression tha t

we are considered to be a group of academic slackers .

This is not so, and even if it were, the rule would b e

still unfair. We invite the makers of this rule to examine

tlae academic records of Ubyssey staff members, They willfind that academically we are no better and no worse thanmembers of any other extra-curricular organization .

We think that a university is a strange place at which

to have stupid rules .

Should Be Our Motto

Stunned]editor, The Ubyssey ,

Deer Sir :

f am stunt at the letter syou have received regardin gthe initiatlon "edthit tties" . Arethe participants proud of thei rvulgar displays, in saying : —"You didn't fight" — "I did s ofight"?

The engineers end Aggies areMeet guys as individuals. Butthey looked and acted acros sthe grounds in pursuit of flee-ing fresh boys and flatteredfroth girls that day .

The comments I heard fro mmost onlookers were: `silly' ,`disgusting', and `ridiculous' .

The comments from the engi-neers `It's fun', or `They did itto us last year' .

4t was bad enough to ,see thebad king and stragglingand bashing each other around.

But it was shocking . to see girl sthrown to the ground, theirnew books squashed in the dirtas bands of boys descendedupon them to smatter their legswith lipstick and to write th eword `Sexy' across their fore -heads .

Boys — did you enjoy doingthis? Did it ever occur to yo uthat in spite of the `bag appeal 'that is allegedly sweeping th ecampus — the bags do not con -tain potatoes to be thrown ar-ound at your whim? There ar eladies inside some of thos ebags .

red to rough

It seemed likely that with

the recent emphasis on the pro-blems of education on this con-tinent, a fair measure of publicunderstanding and awarenesswould have been reached bynow.

But recent: editorial remark sin the Vancouver Sun indicatethat the light has= not yet reach-ed the dawn-town area, at least .

On October 10, the Sun com-mented that they could see noreason why "smart" student sshould be- given scholarships .

In this context, of course,smart is a pejorative term, andthat is in keeping with the toneof the remainder of the edito-rial, which so far departs fro many attempt at reason as to useRussia as an example, by im-plication, of a nation where thesecond-rate are encouraged a tthe expense of the best .

I will try and explain why i tseems to me extremely import-ant that a scholarship syste mshould also be an incentive sys-tem .

The first question that face sthe enquirer is that of the re-sults desired .

Do we want a system whichwill turn out a few brilliantscholars and scientists? Thatis, few in relation to the tota lpopulation, though essentiallyALL the outstanding student sof each generation could b ecaught in a selective net of thi skind, as the better Europeansystems can claim to do .

Or do we want a far largernumber of graduates, who wil ltake their place, an educate dclass, as the leaders of the cramemunity, and as its professiona ladvisers, legal, medical, an dcommercial .

At the moment it is probabl ethat we are not meeting eithe rrequirement. Our universitiesare geared to the mediocre . Ofthe 10,000 students at UBC,less than half, at a conservativeestimate, would be admitted toany University in Europe, eve nin the world .

The result of this overcrowd-ing is that money is short,which keeps staff salaries dow namongst other things . It is nothard to envisage other ways i nwhich this situation threatens

house with women .What is the matter with ou r

governing bodies — the fee-tiny? the students council ?

Ate the teachers so apatheticthat they allow children t ocome to classes so outrageouslyclad? Is the students counci lunconcerned? or kept too busydiscussing salary increases? O rdo they think it is fun, too ?

The students don't . The num-ber which agree with initiationpractices are few, and the num-ber that participate fewer .

So, for gosh sakes, let's abo-lish these needless exhibitionsof poor taste and immaturity .Next year, let's help the fros hget acquainted with UBC an dshow them around this huge ,beautiful campus .

Let's point out out ponds t oour fresh, with pride, net kic kthem in the pants and pushthem in .

Sincerely,SUSAN BRETT ,Arts III .

the already poor academicstandards .

Yet there are also very obvi-ous advantages, here in a dem-ocracy, of having a high propor-tion of the population educated .That word is I think the key t othe situation.

The traditional concept of theuniversity is not of an educa-tional centre, but of a centre o flearning, and learning in thissense is intellectual achieve-ment beyond the scope of the"average student" and, evenmore important, beyond his de-sires .

Perhaps 20% of the presen tenrollment at UBC really desir ethis sort of training . The workof education is, and always hasbeen, the job of the HighSchool .

At the present time, the firstyear a student spends at th euniversity is devoted to finish-ing off the job of the school .To an increasing extent th esecond year is similarly spent.

The specialist does not beginwork on his subject until histhird year, with the result thathe leaves the university abou ttwo years behind his Europeanequivalent at the Bachelo rlevel .

If he continues in Graduatework, he may eventually mak eup this Ieeway, over a periodof years, but even this is doubt-ful .

Within the English-speakin gworld, this continent has no tyet matched in quality the out -put of Great Britain in mostareas of scholarship and sci-ence, as most students are wel laware .

Even in the production of ahighly literate class the com-parison is discouraging . Thereare still more and better-qua-lity books published in GreatBritain in the course of a yearthan in North America . Thereare more and better magazinesdevoted to current affairs . ThePress is more genuinely infor-mative and more responsible .

Yet this literate class hasbeen produced by the HighSchools . Attendance at univer-sities in Great Britain is onl ya fraction of the proportion ofthe population which attends inCanada or the United States,about 2% .

With this in mind, the recentsuggestion of Dean Andrewthat senior matriculationshould be added in as manyHigh Schools as possible iswithout doubt a movement inthe right direction .

If to this could be added ageneral tightening of standards,with a new accent on abilit yrather than conformity, thenonce again our educated clas swould come from the schools,in far larger numbers than theuniversities could produce .

The universities would thenagain undertake their task o fproducing the scholar and thescientist, with the professiona lschools continuing their func-tion as before .

The staff would be bette rpaid, and would again haveme supreme pleasure of ad-dressing themselves to studentsof ability, with the desire titlearn, rather than to the de -

pressing group of aimless, apa-thetic children, leavened wit hbudding socialites and juniorexecutive types, which toooften faces them at the un-likely hour of 8 .30 (another re-sult of over-crowding) .

But what are we to do whil eawaiting this educational mill-enion? Surely the obvious an-swer is that we should emulat ethe features of European uni-versities which are most obvi-ously effective in producing re-sults .

In Russia, students are paidwhile in attendance at the uni-versity, but more important ,because more nearly within ou rpresent financial capabilities ,"Particularly good students ar erewarded with substantial bo-nuses ." (John Gunther, insid eRussia, quoted in the Sun, Oct .10) .

In France, students of out -standing ability receive livingallowances from the Govern-ment .

In Britain, the student of abi-lity is given a "State Scholar-ship" which pays, most . of hi sexpenses at university .

Much has been written aboutthe prestige , factor in thiscountry. It is likely that in aculture still dominated by thedollar, prestige will be readil yattached to those considere dimportant enough to be partial -ly supported by public fundswhile at university .

Certainly it would be someadvance on the present prestigesituation, where the devotedstudent spends his summersworking to earn his winter ex .penses . to the de triment ut hisr tidied cumniand of his field ,let it be noted, and his winter sin a boarding house, generallyunderheated, or a basementapartment, often unheated .

This in order that he mayeventually enjoy a position asa teacher or research workerwhich offers much less chanceof even an adequate livingstandard than a short appren-ticeship as an electrician or aplumber would secure him .

He is quite rightly regarde das a lunatic by the public atlarge and by the vast majorityof his free-loading fellow stu-dents .

The scientist is a little mor efavourably situated than theHumanities student, becausethe results of his work tend tobe more tangible and thereforemore prestige-worthy in a ma-terialistic culture . Even here,however, the accent is on ap-plied rather than on pure sci-ence, to the eventual detrimentof the country .

The immediate answer to oureducational problem, then ,seems to me to rest on the ques -tion of incentives, largely onthose which could be providedby an adequate scholarship sys-tem based on ability, results ,and the means test, especiallyif it is made the vanguard of awhole new educational empha-sis on the full development o fthe ability of the individual a tthe university .

UK's FINANCES PART TWO

UBC ExpensesBroken Dow n

Where Does It Go ?

By MARY WILKIN S

After examining UBC's in-come, the obvious step is t othen look at how this income i sspent .

UBC with an income of overeight and a half million div-ides this . money into five maindivisions according to the speci -fic needs of each .

The following is a break -down of these groups, and al lfigures given are from the Pre-sident's Report for the fisca lyear from April 1, 1956 toMarch 31, 1957 .

ACADEMIC FACULTIES AN DDEPARTMENTS AND ASSO -

CIATED ACADEMI C. SERVICES

$4,882,149 .10 — 56.9 %

Included in this category,which takes up nearly 57% ofthe revenue, are professors'salaries, supplies, and som eequipment .

This percentage has bee nsteadily falling during the pas tfew years . In 1954-55, teachin gcosts took 60.09% of the in-come .

The following year, this per-cent fell to 59.83, and in 1956 -57, the percent was down again ,56 .9%.

How does this compare withother Canadian universities ?

On the basis of 1956-57 fig-ures, teaching and academi cservices provided 62 % o fexpenditures at Queen's, 61 .9 %at McGill, but only 55% at bothManitoba and Carleton Col-lege .

The University of Toront oallotted only 53 % of its expen-ditures to teaching .

The aim of every universit yis to spend as great a percent -age in this field as possible andto keep general administrationexpenses low.

The Library expenses arealso included in this figure asit is an associated academi cservice .

Apart from the administra-

tion building, where studen trecords and accounts are kep tby a staff of secretaries an dstenographers, there is also thefireball, botanical gardens, th ePresident's office, the regis-trar's office, and all the office sof the deans to be maintaine dwith this money .

Also included in this millionand a half dollars are building sand grounds, the power house ,and all the electricity, powerand gas used by the univer-sity .

FELLOWSHIPS, SCHOLAR-

SHIPS, PRIZES AND

BURSARIE S

$253,884 .08 -- 3 .0 %

Any scholarship, prize, bur-sary, or fellowship listed in theuniversity calendar will be paidfrom this fund. These includebook and money prizes, rang-ing from ten dollars, to twenty-five hundred dollars .

Most of this money come sfrom government and privat eindustry .

This amount, however, doe snot include any scholarship swhich go directly from thedonee to the recipient, withou tgoing through the Universityfirst .

Dominion - Provincial Bursa-ries, many National Researc hgrants, Defense Research Boardgrants, and other grants forSocial Science, Medical or In-dustrial Research are not in-clded in this three percent .

Canada Council Scholarships,

This is the second of a two-part article on UBC's finances .The income of the Universit ywas discussed in Wednesday'sUbyssey . Today, the Univer-sity expenses are broken down .

if given directly to the student ,will not be accounted for in thi smoney either .

RESEARC H

$892,231 .45 — 10 .4%

The University itself, pro-vides almost a million dollarsto research .

Most of this is for graduate ,and post graduate work.

Research goes on in all facul-ties and departments, and spe-cial research personnel arehired to carry on many re-search projects .

Most of the money for thi sresearch comes from gifts, andgrants, from private donees ,and firms . The governmentalso provides money for re-search .

CONSTRUCTION and LAN DACQUISITION

$218,424 .36 — .2.5%

MISCELLANEOUS

$104,143:63 -1.2%

Miscellaneous items includ esuch things as trucks, some mi-croscopes, affairs for alumni,and alumni grants .

SPECIAL PROJECTS

$596;926..68 — 6.9%

During the year 1956-57 thismoney, which came in becauseof the increase in the CanadaGovernment grants, was pu taside for special projects dur-ing 1957-58 .

Some of the money was spenton inner renovation of theChemistry Building, and a ce-ment block building for th eFisheries Department, to housethe most extensive collection o ffish in Canada .

The remainder of the moneywas used for "special equip-ment for building for studen tgrowth . "

This was how UBC's mone ywas spent in 1956-57 . It varieslittle from year to year excep tto increase the amounts in eac hof the fields .

How is the budget arrived at ?In October of each year, the

Dos Passos' Lost Powe r"The Great Days", a novel by John Das Passos. McClelland, 312 pages, $4 .50.

CRITICIS MEDITOR ,

Ni Oranges N i

John Dos Passos has lost hispolitical faith and his power .In his trilogy U .S .A., writtenduring the Depression and deal-ing with the period 1900-1930 ,he used the class struggle ide ato give an underlying cohesive-ness and emotional colour tothe events of the time . The threebooks, The 42nd Parallel, 1919 ,and The Big Money, constitutea photograph of people struggl-ing pointlessly in their stalelife-shells under the monste rcapitalism, .

For the manufacture of suchan atmosphere of sterility DosPassos' technique was perfect-ly calculated .

As Sartre says, "You starthating yourself immediately . "

However, John Dos Passos ha sfound the class struggle to b ean inadequate explanation o fhistory. His 1954 novel, "MostLikely To Succeed," showed theCommunist party in America i na very bad light . To Jed, Com-munism had become a blind, afaith, a refuge . When his pla yfailed his comrades console dhim by blaming it on "the Inter-ests ." It gave him an excuse fo rhis inadequacies, a sense of pow -er, and when he was told tobreak off with the woman h eloved because she was reaction-ary, he complied .

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"emerges in the film version a sa big, colourful sprawling spec-tacle of emotions centeredaround a masterful performanc eby Paul Newman .

"Orders To Kill" is a tense ,crisp British suspense film spoil-ed by a flabby ending .

The story is about a ground-ed RAF pilot who is sent t oParis to kill an agent suppose dto have collaborated with theGermans .

It is hard to criticize the end-ing without giving it away butlet me just say this; that itillustrates a tendancy to, aftersubjecting the central figure tointense strains and stresses ,make sure in the last few min-utes that he returns to his nor-mal life .

But there are in fact som ecrises which cannot be smooth-ed over . This was recognizedand handled realistically andconvincingly in the similar playand film, "Les Mains Sales, "by Jean-Paul Sartre .

Sartre's character, upon real-izing that he has killed an inno-

passage about the Sacco-Van-zatti execution of 1927 with thewords, "All right we are twonations ." )

"Two nations," though der-tainly in a good part true atthat time, hardly applies an ymore, and Dos Passos is - at aloss for an explanation . as simpl eand as good .

Ro Lancaster tells the storyin The Great Days . He is a vet-eran newspaperman who cover-ed, various aspects of Worl dWar II . For about a third o fthe book we read of his stumbl-ings about in Cuba, where he i strying to recapture his youth-ful zest with a much younge rwoman who keeps gazing awa yas he is talking to her .

The rest of the book is hisrecollections of World War II .There are a few sharp sequencesbut they are disjointed . Nothin g

The Tennessee Williams playhas undergone extensive change ssince he wrote it in 1955 .Throughout the metamorphosi sthe theme has remained thestruggle between the force of

cent man, allows himself to b ekilled. This is not to sugges tthat Sartre's is the only pos-sible solution to the proble mbut it at least has the necessarydepth .

The movie however contain ssome striking scenes, particu-larly one in which the killerin his victim's house, the gues tof his victim-to-be, watches hisdaughter dance ballet, and list -ens to sounds of the victim'swife brow-beating him comin gfrom the kitchen .

A Canadian actor, Paul Mas-sie, gives an excitingly shar pand clear performance as th ekiller; Irene Worth is intenseand taut as a French resis-tance worker .

It is a sparse, quick, coo lmovie of considerable suspens eand slight warmth .

binds them together, neither thefeeling which pervaded U.S.A .or anything which could b ecalled a plot .

Ro reminisces a lot aboutSecretary of State Roger Thur-loe, who vainly urged the Cab-inet not to disarm completel yin view of the Russian ambi-tions and finally committed sui-cide . But this story is weak be-cause it is told as observed b ythe ununderstanding newspaper-man .

Ro Lancaster himself fails toelicit sympathy because he isawash in self-pity . And _althoughthe hard, embittered veteran isa great character in Americanfiction, Ernest Hemingway couldhave told Dos Passos that thehero must never display pityfor himself. Anger, hatred, per-haps even love, we want, butnot self-pity .

life and the force of death .The original play resulted in

a stalemate between Brick, theyoung athlete estranged fromhis wife and the world by hislove for a dead team-mate, an dhis passionate, resourceful wife ,Maggie the Cat .

At the instigation of directo rElla Kazan, Williams rewrotethe third act of the play fo rthe Broadway production, i norder that things might happen ,character change, and the forceof life triumph .

And this is the version thatreaches the screen, softened alittle, but substantially the same .

It is a powerful story, butoften a sloppy, noisy sort o fpower. To throw the scales infavour of the force of life, Wil-liams gave extra weight to thepart of Big Daddy, Brick'sfather, who though doomed t odie, continues to live for all heis worth. But, even well playedby Burl Ives, Big Daddy is jus ta big noise, as is the plottingthat centers around him .

As Brick, Paul Newman is ex-cellent. Moody, stony 'blue-eyed ,he gives his often formal, al-most stilted lines a southern lilt

The Theatre du NouveauMonde is not just another travel-ling group of players . ProbablyCanada's most effective foreig nadvertisement in years, it standsnext only to Stratford for cour-ageous and imaginative theatre .

Founded in 1949 by jean Gas-con, medical student turned ac-tor, the group has done marvel sfor the reputation of Moliere ,France's great seventeenth cen-tury comedian and playwright .Only a group, as young as TNMwould have had the audacity t opresent Moliere to Parisian au-diences, and only a group asalive as TNM would have madesuch a hit .

"Joy burst in the play andgoes from the stage to the au-dience", said Paul Morelle o fthe Paris "Liberation" after see-ing the group . "The Comediansfrom Montreal give back an un-hoped for youth to Le MaladeImaginaire . "

But not only their joy, andlife, and audacity were prais-ed. "Excellent direction . . . "said L'Information. Jean Gas-con before founding the com-pany had a varied and thoroug hgrounding in theatre . While stil la medical student, he workedin wartime theatricals in Mon-treal, under the famous Lud-milla Pitoeff, a French actres swho took refuge in Canada dur-ing the war.

The group broke precedent inCanada at Stratford by gather-ing crowds to a production inFrench . The thorough analysi sof plot and action in English onthe programmes played a suffic-ient Milton Cross to the comedyand not only the sense but alsothe specially French characte r

which makes them poetic . Eliza-beth Taylor plays Maggie theCat well but not hard enough' .

Tennessee Williams wrotethat he could not see howBrick's conversations with Bi gDaddy, however inspiring andsoul-searching, could pull Bric kout of his immobility .

And he was right . Brick' schange does not seem adequat-ely motivated . It is hard to ima-gine that he could draw on hi sfather's power . Had the charac-ter of Maggie the Cat bee nbrought more vividly to life ,the change might have beenmore plausible . As it is, it doesnot seem to flow out of whathas gone 'before .

dates back to the medieval ages

Admittedly these thought sare personal and the follower sof I . A. Richards no doubt quitejustifiably may consider the mirrelevant. Still I feel there i sa place for attempts of thisnature for ' as Mr . MacNairnpointed out it takes a lifetimeto become a Ruskin .

certain lack of reverence — al ltended to an early deviation ofthe original stream.

By 1550, not only had liturgi-cal drama per se been abandon-ed in France, but the Church it-self had forbidden therepre-sentati.on of religious plays a soffensive and irreverent . Sincethat time, French drama ha sconcerned itself primarily wit hfact and truth . Fancy and imag-ination have been relegated toa subordinate role .

With such a framework i nmind, what is there in Moliere' sart to account for a reputationthat has outlived the society forwhich has plays were written ?And how can one explain thos ewaves of applause that greettoday "Le Malade Imaginaire" ,or "Le Misanthrope", or "LeBourgeois gentilhomme", at th eComedie-Francaise in Paris, i nthe provinces, or in a corner o fa foreign land ?

The answer is quite simpl eif one but remembers Moliere' sfaith, both as a comedian andas a playwright, in the "theori ede la nature et du juste milieu" .Nature! the regulator of all life !One must conform to it, say sMoliere, and abide by its laws .And one must have faith in it ,and never, never allow its waysto be diverted .

The most obviously `clever'painting is Jock Macdonald' s"Primordial Fire," where flamesin an essential Heraclitan fluxwaver in front of cold blue icy-ness.

I thought Hortense Gordonsloppy and muddy in techniqueand far the worst of the group .

But in Kazuo Nakamura wa sa beautiful simplicity and pureeconomy of line and tone —a strange contrast to the others .His "Power Station" is an al-most surrealist tone composi-tion of three colours which pro-duces a superb perspective andhas a static electrical coolnes svery different to the fusingburning of the remaining 10 .

If you saw the cover of Mac -Lean's Magazine two or threeweeks ago, which depicted th egenealogy of Canadian Art, her ein this very stimulating grou pis the last stage very ablyexemplified. Order from chaos ?

— DESMOND FITZ-GERALD

As corollary to this first max-im, Moliere adds that of moder-ation . "Le juste milieu" — thegolden mean, the happy moder-ation! such are the element sto which one can reduce thecomedies of Moliere .

Moliere's art lies therefore i nhis ability to paint and des-cribe the manner and custom sof the world as he sees them .His characters are universal : thenouveau riche, the miser, th epedant, and the hypochondriac .Instead of the heros of epicpoetry, living people and theirfaults, their eccentricities an dfoibles, are the target of his wit .

For truth must be pleasingand amusing. And Moliere' stask is twofold: to entertain andto correct . Accordingly, he ex-tracts the essence of laughte rfrom every situation; wherelaughter is absent, he create 'it . "There can be no truth with-out humor, nor any humor with-out truth," says a French critic .Those words could well be themotto of the theatre of Moliere .

One might note that Moliereattacks he faults and foibles ofsociety, not the vices of individ-uals. The foolish pride of the;nouveaux riches and their in-fatuation with titles of nobility;the ludicrous stubborness or themonomania of others; the follyof vanity and the injustices ofdespotism — all these and man ymore are ridiculed mercilessly .

Some of his most viciousbarbs are aimed at the practiceof medicine as it was known--inthe 17th century . Moliere knewprobably better than most — allhis life he was plagued withillness — the incompetency ofdoctors who had obtained thei rdegree thanks to their skill inabstract argumentation, and t otheir ability to quote Latin . Inview of the above facts, hi sfaith in Nature and in moder-ation is certainly commendable .

Whether one agrees or no twith his philosophy, the trut hremains that Moliere's commo nsense, his realism and the tart-ness of his speech have endow-ed the French theatre and th eFrench language with a rich-ness and a colour that havesurvived wars, governments andoblivion .

Inco Metals at work in Canada

To help insure the purity of the milk you drink, right here in Canada from nickel supplied by Inco .the tanks on most modern dairy tank trucks are In Sudbury, Ontario, Inco workmen mine, mill an dmade of stainless steel containing about 8% nickel . smelt the nickel-bearing ore. Then it goes to Inco' sThe stainless steel for these tanks is manufactured Port Colborne plant for refining . The refined nickel

is sold to a Canadian steel company for the produc-tion of stainless steel . And Canadian fabricators usethis nickel-containing stainless steel in the manufac-ture of dairy tank trucks and many other products.

There's INCO NICKEL in modern stainless stee ldairy tank trucks aa . and it helps keep your milk pure

STAINLESS STEEL 1S a modern miracle metal. Itresists rust and corrosion. It won't stain or

tarnish. It has a bright, shiny surface that is easy

to keep clean .

No wonder so many modern housewives wan tstainless steel sinks in their kitchens . . . stain-

less steel tableware in their dining rooms.

Architects have used stainless steel for years

to brighten and beautify the interiors of the

buildings they design . . . and now they'reusing it for the exterior walls of buildings.

Food processing industries depend on it to

help keep their products pure.

Take the dairy industry, for example . Modern

farms and dairies are now using stainless steelequipment for handling and processing milk . Themilk seldom touches anything but stainless stee lfrom milking to bottling time . Even the tanks onthe huge trucks that haul milk from the farm

to the dairy are made with stainless steel toprotect the milk from contamination .

These dairy tank trucks are manufacturedin Canada. The stainless steel that goes into

them is also produced in Canada . Most ofthe stainless steel made in Canada for dairyequipment contains Inco Nickel . Anotherexample of the way Inco metals serve theCanadian industries that serve you .
