In an article on inflating insect larvae, the writer (1957) prescribed the use of glycerine to prevent the larval skin from sticking to the glass inflating tube. Vaseline and glycerine were formerly used for this purpose but they have not been satisfactory. The Technical Information Service of the National Research Council of Canada was consulted about better parting agents and through their aid an entirely satisfactory substance was obtained. The compound is of the silicone type; it has the consistency of petroleum jelly, is heat stable, and has greatly improved the efficiency of larval inflation at the Vernon laboratory. The commercial name of this compound is “Slipicone” made by Dow Corning Silicones Ltd., Tippet Rd., Downsview, Toronto, Ontario.

Abstract The history of the NRC is approached from two perspectives: first, in terms of the historiographical ideas presented in the literature, and second, in terms of its place within the science policy debates. There follow a select chronology and bibliography of the NRC.

Abstract Developments in Canadian science policy have given impetus to forest research, though funding and staffing are still inadequate. The Canadian Forestry Service (CFS) is responsible for most federal research on forest resources, and the National Research Council has stimulated university and industrial activity. While most provinces rely on CFS for research, Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia have substantial programs of their own. At the six Canadian forestry schools the need for expansion is appreciated, but there are shortages of scientists and teachers. The Canadian Institute of Forestry is a strong advocate of research.
