PETER SALT...says
Q. Why do I sometimes get lead deposits on the exhaust valves in my boat engine while this does not happen in my car engine?
A. In an automobile the engine RPMs are constantly varied because of starting and stopping. These changes cause cylinder and manifold pressure changes which blow lead deposits from the cylinder and valve parts. The constant RPMs over long periods in fishing boat engines will not blow out the lead deposits as easily as is done in the car engine.

Public Employees Want Canadian Union Autonomy
A stand for Canadian trade union autonomy was taken by the newly created Canadian Union of Public Employees at its founding convention in Winnipeg last month, Jack Phillips, secretary of Vancouver Civic Employees Union (Outside Workers), informed The Fisherman on his return.
Although the Outside Workers retains its independent status and is outside the new national organisation, Phillips attended the convention as an observer.
Explaining the convention's stand on Canadian autonomy, Phillips said:
"The incoming executive of the Canadian Union of Public Employees was instructed to submit to the 1964 Canadian Labor Congress convention a resolution amending the Congress' constitution to provide that not later than January 1, 1965 all organisations affiliated to the Congress must adopt and apply in practice the principle of autonomous Canadian leadership, control and administration of all sections of their union membership in Canada.
NOW LARGEST UNION
"The Canadian Union of Public Employees, with 88,000 members, is now the largest national union in the country, and this resolution indicates that it will be a force in promoting the widespread demand of Canadian union autoomy."
Phillips also noted that the convention called on the federal government to promote disarmament in world councils and urged reduction of military expenditures, with the money saved to be directed to raising living standards in this country and aiding under-developed countries.
Coupled with this was a stand against spread of nuclear arms to countries not now possessing them.
Reporting in the Outside Workers' Union Bulletin on the merger which brought the new national organisation into being, Phillips said:
The Canadian Union of Public Employees was born on September 24 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was created by the merger of the National Union of Public Employees and the National Union of Public Service Employees, with a combined strength of 88,000 members. SOME DIVISIONS
The scheduled one day convention of NUPSE (the smaller group) was completed in half a day, with unanimous support for merger.
The one day convention of NUPE brought to light some very sharp divisions, because of the proposed
two levels of per capita tax for the new union, and because of fears that the new constitution will open the door to witch hunting and the destruction of local autonomy.
The NUPE vote for merger was 232 to 71, demonstrating that a large block was opposed to the terms of merger. The bulk of the "no" votes came from British Columbia and Toronto Local 43 (Outside Workers).
The majority of the municipal delegates from the Vancouver Metro area and all municipal delegates from the Kootenay area voted "no." Vancouver Island delegates voted "yes", as did the delegates from BC Hospital Employees, Local 180.
In effect, BC affiliates to NUPE split almost down the middle. (It should be noted however, that no BC locals have seceded to this date).
The BC situation is complicated by the two factors. Firstly, some who voted "no" made it clear they will go back to their locals and fight to stay in the merged union, despite rumors of secession. Secondly, some BC locals which did not send delegates are known to
have strong reservations about the merger.
Delegates from Toronto's 3,700 strong Local 43 walked out of the merger convention on September 24, after the two unions met to jointly endorse the merger agreed to in separate conventions on September 23 . . . Toronto's main complaint was on the per capita issue.
UNIFYING FACTOR
NUPSE had no organisation in BC. Therefore, unity to some NUPE members here was something of an abstraction. In Toronto, on the other hand, unity was a very concrete problem, because it involved two provincial organisations, NUPE and NUPSE . . .
The merger is a very healthy development, opening the door to one Canadian union for all government employees in Canada. Such a union should establish service divisions for different types of employees (federal, provincial, municipal, hospital) and should have the strength to advance the interests of public employees far better than a hodge-podge of many unions and associations.
Norway Sends Four Fleets
Norway is sending four whaling expeditions to the Antarctic in the 1963-64 season, according to press reports. The ships are Thorshovdi, Thorshavet, Kostnos 4 and Sir James Clark Ross, and they have the entire Norwegian quota of 2,800 blue whale units.
Decision to send Thorsovdi to the Antarctic was taken after the owners had failed to obtain government permission to sell the modern factory ship to a syndicate of Japanese whaling operators. The Japanese had offered USS1.7 million for the ship, but were primarily interested in the quota of 400 blue whale units which would have gone with it.
The Japanese have already purchased the British ship Southern Harvester, bringing their share Of the Antarctic quota up from 41 to 46 percent, and Thorsovdi's four percent quota would have given them a dominant share of 50 percent.
Though there appears to be general agreement that Norway's days as a leading whaling nation are over, the government is concerned to preserve Norway's proportionate share of the Antarctic quota to minimise unemployment problems for whaling crewmen who are now too old to adapt to other types of work.
