Does a large dose of antacid give you relief or does it just cause the pain to lie dormant for a while, only to come back later? If so, you are overtreating the pain, and your stomach is rebelling against such harsh treatment. The harsh way. Many people treat indigestion by taking a large dose of an antacid.

ALTONA TO HAVE CARBON BLACK PLANT IF SAFE LTONA Shire Council will allow Australian Carbon Black A Pty. Ltd. to build its £2 million factory at that Altona the industry providing the company gives an assurance will not be a nuisance or a danger to health. The president of the council (Mr. H.

G. Kim) said this last night after the Metropolitan Board had approved building of the factory on the The managing direc-, tor of Carbon Black (Mr. O. G. Meyer) said his company would make another "conciliatory approach" to the council.

"The board has granted this application on overseas reports that the industry is clean and not a danger to Mr. Kim said. "These are the assurances we have wanted from the company from the start. "So the position is unchanged. If the company gives us the required assurances, we will grant it permit to build." thin board's planning and highway committee decreed that under the Metropolitan Planning.

Scheme proposed building site was in a light industry zone and that Mr. Barry Withdraws From Election A former Labor Minister for Health, Mr. W. P. Barry, has withdrawn on medical grounds as Democratic Labor party candidate for the East Brunswick seat in the Legislative Assembly election.

The secretary of the D.L.P. (Mr. F. M. Dowling) said last night that Mr.

Barry had been in poor health for some time, and had been ordered by his doctor not to contest the seat. The party has endorsed Mr. Allan Swain, school teacher, of Barkly Street, East Brunswick, to replace Mr. Barry. The A.L.P.

executive last night endorsed Mr. G. K. Anstee, a school teacher, of Rosebud, to contest MornIngton seat. Historian and Authoress Dies Historian and authoress Miss Margaret Loch Kiddle died in Epworth Hospital at the week end after a long illness.

She was in her early forties. During her illness she wrote a book abut the social history of the Western district. Miss Kiddle was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Beacham Kiddle.

She was a graduate in arts of the University of Melbourne, worked at the Prices branch during World War II and was on the University department of history staff in later years.The funeral took place at Spring Vale yesterday.

The board was influenced by a letter from the town clerk of Ellesmere Port, in England. This letter gave a full report on the carbon black factory in that town and claimed it worked cleanly and efficiently. Overseas reports made available by the Premier (Mr. Bolte) also Influenced the board in granting the application. One of the reports from an officer of the Gas and Fuel Corporation, Mr.

A. E. Chadwick, who recently inspected a carbon black factory at Sarnia, in Canada. The report claimed that the process allowed no escape of carbon black into the atmosphere and that the local council and residents gave favorable opinions. A report on a carbon black factory in France claimed it caused no nuisance to local residents.

However, some councillors at Altona still maintain the carbon black factory may not be able to operate there. They claim that, under the council's local planning scheme, gazetted on April 2, carbon black WAS prohibited as a light industry. As the board's Metropolitan Planning Scheme was not then gazetted, the local plan was binding. Mr. Meyer said last night his company was "delighted with the board's decision," but was still negotiating with offers from other States.

Small Airliner Planned by C.A.C. Plans for a small airliner to replace Australia's uneconomical DC3's have been placed before the Federal Government by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation. The airliner, already named the C.A.C. Wallaby, is designed to meet the requirements of the Australian outback, intra-State services and the New Guinea internal The Wallaby is planned as a twin-engined aircraft with cruising speed and range equal to a DC3, but with seating space for only 12 to. 15 passengers as against the DC3's 24.

Its cost to airlines would probably be about £60,000. It is regarded in aviation circles as a possible answer to the problem of uneconomical country and outback services and could put new life into Australia's Ceylonese Dancer on GTV Today The Ceylonese dancer, Tiny Tilakavati, at present in Australia with her husband, will appear on GTV-9 today during the Happy Go Lucky Show, commencing at 1 p.m. She has her own dancing school in Ceylon, and also composes new dances to modern Indian music.

Wasp engines has now been put up by the corporation. Airline and civil aviation officials openly admit the need a small replacement for the ageing DC3, which involved Australian airlines in a total loss of £800.000 in 1955-56.

The managing director of C.A.C. (Sir Lawrence Wackett) said yesterday the surplus Wasp engines, the type used in the wartime C.A.C.

estimated it could "break even" on production costs on the basis of initial production of 30 aircraft. Assistance would be needed from the Government, however, to cover the cost of tooling up and generally preparing for production. Sir Lawrence Wackett said that if the necessary orders and support were obtained, this money. could be recovered in the form of the heavy Government subsidies paid to small airlines to keep the uneconomical DC3 flying on feeder and outback services. If a start on the Walwere made now, production could begin in about two years.

At present, C.A.C. could not see beyond 1961, when it expected to complete orders for an additional 21 Avon Sabre jet fighters for the R.A.A.F.
