SUGGESTIONS FOR SPACE WALKERS A huge plastic "bubble" like this may be the answer for astronauts who must leave their spacecraft to do outside work. Inflated in or- bit, the bubble would sur- round the work area like a protective cocoon. Astro- nauts would enter and leave through an air lock. The bubble could be tethered to the servicing spacecraft, This artist's drawing was suggested in a report com- piled by a Boeing Company scientist and an Air Force scientist. (AP Wirephoto) By ARNOLD AMBER Although it has suffered almost five years' of dislocation caused by conflict, the mineral rich Congo economy is climbing to- ward its pre-independence level. With the exception of about nine months in 1963, the Congo's economy has suffered from con- tinued strife; three years of se- cession attempts in the mineral rich areas of Katanga and South Kasai provinces and in- termittent fighting in almost all other areas of the country. Despite this, The Congo, helped to a great extent by United -Nations, United States and Belgian aid, is still in a far 'better economic position than most of its African neighbors. The Congo's riches lie in the copper of Katanga, the dia- monds of South Kasai, widely spread and diversified agricul- tural prolucts and the com- mercial centre of Leopoldville. In addition, The Congo has sufficient electricity, river transportation and other essen- tial industrial and commercial facilities left from the Belgian colonial days. STARTS BADLY The unsuccessful secessions and the general political turmoil immediately after independence in June, 1960, got The Congo off to a bad economic start.

The winner of the competition was Mrs. Donna Barkey, Claremont, RR 3. The runners-up were Mrs. Marilyn Beatty, Cannington; Miss Elaine Medd, Port 'Perry and Miss Jean Milligan, Manchester. All the girls did exceedingly well, and the competition was very close. The judges were Maurice Hart, Oshawa; Chris Jensen, Newmarket, and Lynn Fair, Uxbridge Each contestant was required to milk one cow, and also to follow through with the clean- ing and storing of the equip- ment, when they were finished. They were also required to give a short speech in connection with the Dairy Industry. Mrs. Donna Barkey is now eligible to take part in the Dairy Princess Competition at the Canadian National Exhibition.
