The Common MarketThe effect of the European Com-

mon Market on InternationalNickel was discussed by the chair-man of the Company, Mr. Wingate,at the annual meeting of theshareholders in Toronto.

The Common Market consists ofsix countries - France, WestGermany, Italy, Belgium, theNetherlands and Luxembourgand began operation three yearsago. Its purpose, aside from itspolitical implications is to formthese six nations into a singleeconomic entity, with common&'conomic policies and with freetrade among the member nationsand a common tariff applicable toall outsiders.

Comprising the industrial heartof continental Europe, the Con-mon Market has a population al-most 10 times that of Canada ndnearly equal to that of the UnitedStates. It will become an evengreater economic factor if it isjoined by the United Kingdom andother non-member European na-tions.

Mr. Wingate said: Our ex-perience to date indicates, andmost observers agree, that free-dom of trade among the membernations nd the removal of theoverhanging threat that rival in-dustries will be artificially stimu-lated or protected on a purelynational basis will inspire amarked increase iii industrial ac-tivity in the Common Market anda eal and substantial increase inth standard of living.

Many important enterprisesfrom other parts of the world arebuilding industrial facilities inEurope, confident that they can.hare in the opportunities pre-sented and contribute to theirdevelopment. This forward pro-gres will mean a greater demandfor nickel and for the other prod-ucts which we produce. Theeconomic growth within the Com-mon Market, therefore, in and ofitself, will have a direct and bene-ficial effect upon the business ofthis Company.

The chairman said that whiletariffs would affect some of ourproducts, the great bulk of primarynickel produced by Inco -..- elec-trolytic nickel, nickel pellets, andnickel oxide inter will enterthe Common Market duty free.So also will our refined copper andour platinum metals.

If the United Kingdom joins theCommon Market, the products ofthe Conipany's rolling mills inEngland and Scotland, which arein the course of expansion, wouldb duty free throughout all of theCommon Market, as also wouldproducts of our refinery in Wales.

New Nickel &lloysMajor Break-ThroughIn Steel Industry

A summary of scientific and en-gineering knowledge covering arevolutionary new family of nickelalloy steels was presented to thesteel industry at Pittsburgh April10 by The International NickelCompany at a seminar held at theDuquesne Club. Some 130 execu-tives, research and sales engineersfrom 31 steel companies attended.

Repreentin a major scientificbreak-through, the new family of.teels has unmatched toughness at

the highest strength levels of tra-ditional alloy steels. The discovery,originally announced in March,1961, was made by research scien-tists of the Development andResearch Department of the In-ternational Nickel Company.

In his opening remarks, Dr. W.Steven, assistant vice president ofInco, and manager of its develop-ment and i'esearch department.stated. 'We were very happy tohave, at quite an early stage, thehelp and encouragement of evcralsteel producers in making andtesting production-size heats.

the United States metalworking in-dustries, reported in a recent issue:

"Builders of low temperaturestorage tanks for liquefied gas -cryogenic tanks - are In the un-usually fortunate position thesedays of having a rush for theirproducts. Growth has been spec-tacular. The tanks are revolution-izing the entire gas distribution in-dustry and opening up lower cosivolume usage to hundreds ofmetalworking and other plants.

The most spectacular use sofar for the tanks is at missilelaunching sites and bases whereliquid oxygen for missiles is storedin huge double-walled tanks. Theseare so well insulated they hold theLOX at under its normal evaDora-tion ooint of --297 degrees F formonths under a boiling sun withonly nominal pressure and noleakage.

But the biggest, fastest-grow-ing use is in industry where a30-gal tank weighing 475 lb. filled,holds as much cubic gas as a dozenhigh-pressure heavy steel cylinderstotalling 2700 lb. A single tanktruck hauls as much as as 10truckloads of cylinders."

around 9 pct nickel steel".Present output of 1000 to 5000

tons per year is a drop In thebucket. If railroad car, truck andship transportation and pipelinescatch on, 9 pet nickel demandcould go out of sight."

Nine pet nickel was invented in1945 by International Nickel Co.which licenses producers royalty-free. According to Inco's T. N.Armstrong, product developmentmanager of father of 9 pct nickel',it was first developed for corrosionresistance for heat exchangertowers for hydrocarbon researchat Brownsville, Tex."

Readers of the Triangle may re-call a feature storey in theNovember, 1960 issue coveringOperation Cryogenics", a dra-

matic demonstration of thestrength and toughness of 9 petnickel steel storage vessels forliquefied gases at temperatures aslow as --320 degrees F.

At that time Inco president J.Roy Gordon stated: The scienceof cryogenics, Involving the de-velopment and practical utilizationof very low temperatures, has as-sumed major importance in in-dustry, the home, and nationaldefence. We believe that 9 petnickel steel. developed in ourlaboratories, is one of the out-

standing new materials for the de-sign engixieers in this field."

Significantly lower cost and Im-proved toughness are two of themost prominent advantages of thisnew nickel steel.

COPPER CLIFF SKATING CLUBCELEBRATES ITS 25TH YEAR

With a brilliantly successful"silver anniversary revue" theCopper Cliff Skating Club cele-brated a quartei' century of serviceto the community through gracefulrecreation and entertainment,

Stanley Stadium was decked outin gala attire for this historic mile-stone of one of the oldest figure

skating clubs in northern Ontario.The big attendance at both per-formances delighted the sponsorsand made the skaters feel thattheir long hours of practice andrehearsal had been worthwhile.

Mrs. Joyce Salo McKenzie, thesenior club pro, Mrs. Dorothy Mc-Carthy. club pro, and Alfred Digby,

assistant pro, had every reason tobe proud of their production, whichwas smooth, interesting, andsparkling with color, costumes andskill.

Among the featured performerswere Margaret Ann Bowen andNelson Bellrnore in the silver testdance of the Canadian FigureSkating Association, and Mrs.Dorothy McCarthy and herbi'other, Alfred Digby, in a splen-did duo to the music of 'Never onSunday".

Copper Cliff Skating Club wasformed in 1936, the year StanleyStadium was opened, and stagedits first carnival the followingspring. Over the years It has pro-duced many fine skatem's andstimulated public appreciation of amost pleasing and often spectacu-lar athletic art.

"Our membership shows a verydefinite increase,' said the clubpresident, F. J. Neville, 'indicatingthat a healthy interest in figureskating continues in the com-munity. However, the club needsskaters to train singly and in pairsin order to maintain a resem'vegroup for futum'e performances."He added a word to the parents ofnew members: "Please be patient.as a skater cannot become a figureskater in one short season."

Members of the club's advisorycommittee are A. B. O'Brien, Dr.B. F. Haslewood, J. Gladstone and0. 5. Jarm'ett. all of whom have formany years given valuable helpand guidance in the direction of itsactivities, Serving with Mi'.Neville on the executive am'e A.Closs, vice-president, Mrs. K.Duffv. secretary- treasurer, andMesdames S.
