The sixth annual jamboree- on-the-air is expected to exceed »last year's smashing success «when 1,200 stations around the "world tuned in to hear Boy Scouts discuss their troops, ~ badges, families and hobbies. The jamboree got its start in "1957 when scouts attending a .world meeting in England set eup their equipment and made ~a. few contacts in other coun- » tries. The next year it was done' * again, this time with a little ad- «vance publicity. = By 1959 the movement's world «bureau, with headquarters. in " Ottawa, had to take over the ~ event when it ballooned out of the organizational hands of the few amateurs who started it. Each year since, two days have been set. aside in October for the Scouts. And amateur op- erators have jumped into the fun with the same enthusiasm as the Scouts themselves. Months be'ore the jamboree goes on the air, national scout- ing organizations in the 80 member countries are advised of the event and the scouts be- gin lining up activities with lo- cal hams.

Tree Bark Lays Ground For Parks BATHURST, N.B, (CP)--The land area of this northern New Brunswick town has increased by 30 acres in the last 20 years without resort to such processes as expropriation or amalgama- tion, Twenty-one acres of parkland and a much-needed nine-acre parking lot for the town's main shopping district have been cre- ated out of a rough harbor shoreline by an_ enterprising pulp mill, town officials and private organizations. The foun- dation for it all is tree batk and cutting wastes from the Bathurst Power and Paper Company Limited mill. A large portion of Bathurst's garbage is disposed of by exca- vating holes in the fill, dumping the refuse in and then covering: it up again as part of a sani- tary land fill program. The bark fill, shored into place by rocks or dirt at the water's edge, averages 12 feet in depth. Earlier fears that the bark would decay have long since been dispelled. The bark has a tendency to settle and pack hard while still providing a porous sub-strata for grass, tree and flower roots. The harbor reclamation has given Bathurst about five per cent of its present land area. Although no actual dumping records have been kept, it is estimated that the bark park and parking lot took about 600,- 000 cubic yards of :niil wastes or about 60,000 truckloads. The company and other or- ganizations have also used the bark fill on private property. A significant. factor in the Ship Hinged In Middle Japan Industry's Hope TOKYO (Reuters) -- Japan's shipbuilding industry is working with models toward a new era in maritime construction featur- ing ships hinged in the middle. a pin-joint ship could be built separately and hinged ' after launching, making it possible to reduce the length of construc- tion berths by one half. Since the joining operation could he carried out at sea, no additional dry dock facilities would be needed. In the event of a section of the ship being damaged, further saving could be effected by im- mediately replacing the dam- aged half, enabling the ship to operate again after only a brief interruption, town's" enterprising land re- clamation program is the fact the bark is free. who sent the flag, have also donated more than $900 towards the restoration of St. Michael's.

As more monster ships ap- peared on' the drawing boards, designers and engineers found themselves confronted with a major problem: How to con- struct a hull strong enough to stormy seas. HULLS SAG The designers found numer- ous cases of damage caused to the hulls of ships because they were not strong enough to stand "lon-'tudinal stress," Such stress is in almost direct pro- portion to the length of the hull. Decks buckled, hulls cracked and in some cases the ships broke in half. Experts decided the best way to stop ships cracking at mid- ship was to hinge the vessel at that point with pins. Experi- ments with models of hinged ships have been carried out at the Yokohama National Univer- sity. The idea is based cn the the- ory that by hinging the fore and aft sections of the ship, the sep- arate parts will have independ- thereby greatly reducing the re- sistance of the hull to the mo- tion of the waves. cThe fore and aft sections of 1789.
