A factory was opened last month in Durban, South Africa, and one had been acquired ear. lier in Australia, C. G.

The 160-year-old English firm plans to have warehouse facill- ties at Montreal, Toronto and possibly two or three in Western Canada, including Winnipeg end Vancouver.

NET EARNINGS OTTAWA (CP)--A three-day 'nternational conference will be yeld in Ottawa next week to liscuss a revolutionary multi- million<lollar Canadian inven- 'ion which manufacturers in 'his country failed to exploit. The subject of the April 14 zonference will be the Helava analytical plotter, a machine 'hat combines optics, mechan- ics and electronic computing techniques in the mass produc- tion of maps from aerial photo- raphs, About 100 scientists from 16 eres and representatives of uropean photogramme- ia' indestriod 1 attend the :;econd International Photo- grammetric Conference. They will include several scientists from the underdeveloped and unmapped countries of Asia and Africa, After the machine was devel- oped and patented by U. V. He- lava of the National Research Council, Canadian Patents and Development Limited, a vranch of NRC, failed to find any Ca- nadian company willing to ma- nufacture it. The Canadian invention was brought to the attention of the Nistri Company of Milan, Italy, by Dr. Gino Cassinis, a former resident of the University of an and a scientist of inter- na'onal reputation. ' The Nistri company applied Canada Fails To Use Photo-Mapping Aid . for and was granted a license: to manufacture the plotter--in Italy. Because of the applica- tion of the plotter to defence, development costs were met en. tirely by the United States gov- ernment. Twenty-five plotters now have been ordered by the U.S. gov. ernment at a unit price of abou: $250,000, or a total price of $6,- 250,000. Due to military requirements, the instruments produced so far by the Italian company are too complex for civilian purposes. However, the company now is working on a simpler version for civilian use which will be marketed in about one year at a unit price of some $65,000. This price will make the ma- chine competitive with plotters of infinitely less versatility. Commenting on Italian pro- ducion of the plotter, Dr. L, E. Howlett, director of the NRC division of applied physics, said; "Unfortunately no Canadian manufacturer grasped the im. portance of the new concept and arrangements had 'o be made abroad for its exploita- tion " Dr. Howlett said plotter is not the only NRC invention that Ca- nadian industry failed to ex- ploit, Several years ago NRC devel- oped an ear defender to protect Major Banks Hold Stock Market High TORONTO (CP)--Strong ma. persons working under high|jor banks held the stock mar- noise conditions. ket higher Monday during mod- "The device is in active pro- erately heavy trading. duction and a commercial suc-| Bank of Montreal posted one cess," Dr, Howlett said.

LONDON, Ont. (CP)--London Public Utilities Commission members want an answer today to a telegram asking the On- tario Water Resources Commis- sion the conditions under which the city will be permitted to use| water wells in the nearby Ko- moka area. If they don't get an answer, they won't attend a meeting in Toronto Wednesdy between members of city council, the PUC and the OWRC called to spell out the conditions. Mayor Gordon Stronach told a PUC meeting Monday night OWRC Chairman A. M. Snider indicated in a telephone con- versation with him that the city will be permitted to use the Ko- moka wells for only two years. "That was one of the intoler- able conditions Mr. Snider said over the phone were going to be imposed," Mayor Stronach said, 'What is the use of going to Komoka at all? There would be no time to do proper plan- ning or engineering." "It's ridiculous to take the council and the PUC to Toronto Answer Sought On Using Wells thorities in Toronto two weeks ago that the city would be per- mitted to use the Komoka wells --subject to adequate compen- sation to farmers whose private wells are affected by the wells --as an interim supply until the city can build a Lake Huron pipeline. : WANT FOR FIVE YEARS Meanwhile, in Maseru, Basu- The PUC members indicated) toland, the actin Monday night they will be sat-/PAC, Potlako Leballo, told {sfied with permission to oper-|Pess conference his grpup ate the Komoka wells for five|!tS associated underground or. years. as ,Poqo. stands a PUC member John Gillies|Pedse of "liberation by 1968." = hs should = made hag | at five years doesn't mean it will take the PUC, starting im-| Canberra, Australia's national mediately, that time to build a/C@pital, was founded in 1913. pipeline, AID CHILDREN UNITED NATIONS (AP)-- The UN Children's Fund says it sold 26,000,000 Christmas cards in 1962 and made $1,600,- 000--enough to buy a cup of milk every day in the year for 2,200,000 children. to tell us the conditions which they could put in writing," said PUC member Elmo Curtis.
