'She Oshawa Tunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1965 -- PAGE 4 'A Dozen New Niagaras' In Pickering Township In this province of Ontario where: so many projects of such tremen- dous proportion are in the process of development, the truly spec- tacular significance of any one of them may fail to register with full impact. This is the reason the special ceremony in Pickering Town- ship early in September is im- portant. The gathering of provincial, municipal and federal dignitaries will mark the begining of construc- tion of the $266 million nuclear power station heralding the open- ing of a new energy era in Canada. Some months ago when Premier John Robarts announced plans for the 1,000,000-kilowatt nuclear plant he compared the development to "the discovery of a dozen new Niagaras". He noted the ramifica- tions of the project would extend beyond . provincial boundaries. it represents a major step toward the development of .an industry which holds gigantic promise. It can open the work for nuclear energy becoming the eventual source of electric energy for every pro- vince in Canada. It can provide the basis for a new and profitable ex- port industry. It offers the oppor- tunity for the uranium industry to replace imported coal. The co-operative financing of the nuclear project by the federal and provincial governments and Ontario Hydro. illustrates the national significance of the program. The confidence held in the performance of the Canadian designed heavy water, natural uranium reactor is illustrated by the fact that both the federal and provincial govern- ments anticipate recovering their full contributions over the lifetime of the plant, The Ontario Hydro has stated that for its part, it expects to obtain electricity at a cost at least equal to that of power produced by a coal- burning generating station, at pre- sent the cheapest thermal power available in the province, The Pickering Township project is an imaginative undertaking which will represent tremendous technical achievement. It will command na- tional and world attention. 'Theyre Weaker Sex! Oshawa is one of the few Cana- dian industrial communities where the men are maintaining their tra- ditional roles as the bread-winners without too much interference from the distaff side of the family. Recent figures fro mthe Dominion Bureau of Statistics indicate women at present hold down almost a quarter of all available jobs in Canadian industry. Other survey shows they are holding their own in traditionally female professions while tightening their grip on form- . erly "men's jobs".

One of them, the United States Air Force, has just launched a study into invisible noctilucent clouds, an Arctic phenomenon that has puzzled scientists for several years. The ciouds, invisible from di- rectly below, exist at altitudes of more than 250,000 feet, 'a place where clouds have no, bu- * aap as Dr. R. S. Rettie puts Dr. Rettie is directing the northern Manitoba base as chief of the Churchill research range branch of the National Re- search'Council, The council will not assume full ownership of the base until Jan. 1, 1966, but it already handles the Canadian operations. The NRC took on the job July 1 from the Defence Research Board and takes over from the USAF at the end of the year. But while the base will no longer be jointly owned by Can- ada and the U.S., it will con- tinue to be used on a joint basis by both countries. Dr, Rettie will head the op- eration from Otlawa with an- other NRC official, Dr. James H. Brandy, taking over at the site as officer in charge of the range, CLOUD MISSILES "There will still be an allo- cation of facilities and time be- tween the two countries, and costs will also be met on a joint basis,"' Dr. Rettie said. The noctilucent cloud study, a project of the USAF Cambridge Research Laboratory, is only one of many in progress, but it promises to be one of the most interesting. "The big problem is that you can't see the clouds from di- rectly below," Dr, Rettie said. "They are only visible at night, after the sun is well below the horizon, and even then you have to be 50 to 100 miles away. "We have a series of spotter stations along the railway lines to tell us when one of the clouds is overhead, Then we can shoot a rocket through the cloud to find out its composition." The rocket nose-cone will in- clude an elaborate Venus Fly- QUEEN'S PARK trap eg Oe sensitized arms that unfi yp om the passage throu: er . The arms then back into an alte tight container for the return te earth, ; "No one knows what's in the clouds but the most widely-ac- cepted theory is that their con- densation nuclei are micromete- orites. But why they stay there is a big question," Some scientists' believe the micrameteorites are held up by upward currents from the ozone layer enveloping the earth, During the Arctic sums mer, this layer is being heated by the sun 24 hours a day, This could explain why the clouds exe, ist only during the short Arctie summer, "These currents may also pump up water vapor to form the clouds," Dr, Rettie added, "but we don't know that for sure. Maybe we will get the ane swers this summer." GIANT BALLOONS Rocket research makes up & major portion of the station's activity, but not all the up- per atmosphere research is de- pendent on these costly ve- hicles, Giant balloons are used frequently, including one type with a capacity of 10,000,000 cu- bic feet that stands 150 feet at its launching. This model reaches altitudes of 100,000 feet. But many projects, including long-term studies on cosmic ra- diation and the aurora--North- ern Lights -- require frequent rocket shots. The base has four separate launching facill- ties, three of which are com- pletely enclosed for winter op- eration. "Churchill is closer to the magnetic pole than any other rocket range in the world," Dr. Rettie said, "But we may have to move further north for some of our work in the next few years. "T don't think we will need. as elaborate facilities for satellite stations, but to keep building costs down we may have to make a greater allowance for rocket failures, "However, I think it will be much cheaper to take a chance on having to fire two rockets from a small camp when one from a more sophisticated base probably would do the same job." Co-operative Plan Seen For Research By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A new and inter- esting approach to research has been suggested by the Ontario Research Foundation. Today it's agreed our future rests with research. We can't have enough of it. And the more of it the better off we will be. A difficulty in a sparsely pop- tiated country such as ours is to get expansion in research. Now we have government bodies such as O. R. F, and the National Research Council, and some of our largest industries have substantial programs. But for the most part our in- dusiry is not of a size to warrant full-scale research. The O. R. F. suggests that co- operative research associations should be set up--similar to or- ganizations in the United King- dom and Europe where several companies in a field share the cost of a central program. For instance in the U.K. there is a shoe industry association which annually spends about half a million dollars and its staff covers specialists from chemists to plant organization. As just one example of its worth, it developed a new manu- facturing process, Formerly shoes had to stay 10 hours on the last, The new pro- cess cut this down to five min- utes, Very little co-operative re- search is done on this side of the water. In the U.S, the bulk of the work is done by individual companies which, of course, in the American economy are large enough to handle it. INTEREST GROWING But even there interest is he- ginning to grow in the industry- wide approach. A number of U.S. shoe com- panies are trying to join the U..K association. Canada should be a natural, Research has been a definite weakness in our economy and our prospects for the future. And this is probably the one way in which we could get the research we need The O, R. F. believes it is something that can only be handled on a national basis. The federal government must give the lead, And the proposal now is being studied in Ottawa. The report leading up to the proposals incidentally, was pre- pared by C. E. Symonds, direc- tor of corporate relations of the foundation and one of the bright and imaginative men in the pub- lic service today. (The O. R. F. is supported by industry and gets comparative little government backing, de- spite political claims from time to time.) FRENCH LANGUAGE PRESS COMMENTS Economically, It's Critical Year In Canada This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Montreal - Matin -- Eco- nomically, this is a critical year. All is prosperous, but there are so many clouds flit- ting across the horizon that businessmen are becoming in- creasingly alarmed. The pres- ident of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States has spoken of similarities between the present economic situation and that of 1929. In Canada, without being so alarmist, same economists and bankers have pointed to pressing eco- nomic problems, the main one being poor management of a wealth of resources. Prime Minister Pearson's warning to the construction industry has something para- doxica! about it, in view of the old dictum, "As construction goes. so goes everything else.' Canadians joyfully go into debt. At the end of May they owed finance companies alone the sum of $5,762,000,000, or $300 a head. The rate of savings is going up but so is that of indebtedness. Econo mists say that by the end of the year our commercial debt to the gee States will reach $1,000,000,000 And there are signs of inflation at home, While the situation is far from desperate, it promises many bitter consequences if Canadians are not careful. If we don't decide to restrain un- necessary expenditure, we'll be in for another period of drastic cutbacks, of acute aus- terity. This would mean, as usual, much unemployment and deplorable social unrest. We must, at any price, take immediate precautions. The government should firmly set out directives, which up to now it has not done. But may- be tomorrow will be too late, Clement Brown. (Aug. 11) Montreal La Presse--North- ern Affairs Minister Laing was bowled over last May and Jun> by what he saw of the industrial development of the Soviet Union's vast Siberian holdings. Meantime, our own Arctic areas remain what member of Parliament John Turner so rightly called them --Canada's great enigma. Do we want to concentrate on developing the minerals of the northland or, like the 50 viets, build within the Arctic Circle cities teeming with busy people? The population of Can- ada is only one-tenth that of the Soviet Union, which makes Such an expansion program far less urgent here. Also, there is one major consider- ation that hardly bothered the Soviet authorities at all when they decided to industrialize their immense northern terri- tories. That consideration is, "Can man be happy living up there?" Even if the workers estab lished in Siberia are treated with all the care lavished' on precious plants, even if they are offered all the comforts possible to help them with- stand the isolation involved, the cold weather, the endless winter nights, one cannot for- get the many thousands of forced laborers who, at the price of their lives, lished all these northern de- velopments in the first place. . Our own lethargy thus can he explained and to some ex- tent excused by reference to the fundamental difference be- tween the Soviet and Canadian philosophYés of life' But never theless we think it's high time for finding the best means possible of developing at least some of this expanse that constitutes two- thirds of Canada and doubt- less contains very consider- able riches. But where are the pioneers, the adventurers, the builders, the men who can function in the fashion of the oldtime frontiersmen? . . . taste for the new and the strange takes hundreds of young Canadians overseas for immeasurable While a work in underdeveloped coun- estab- tries, one wonders if a similar number would be inclined to give some years of their lives to development work in the north. But these youths can rightly reply, rolling yourselves, give us a program of action and we'll see." Some Soviet experts on the north are coming here for a visit clouds of our lethargy? Can we hope, with Mr. Laing, that the visit will be followed with an agreement by which teach- ers, specialists from the Soviet Union could inject their count- erparts here with imagination ' and enthusiasm?

Some students of Sherlock Holmes believe that No, 29 may have been the famous 221-B Raker Street where the fictional detective and his faithful sha- dow, Dr. Watson, lived. It's impossible to say defi- nitely which house on Baker Street author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had in mind when he gave Sherlock's address as 221-B. Over the years there have been changes in most of Baker Street's numbers. Students of the books say Doyle may have had one of three houses in mind: 215 Baker Street, 51 Baker Street, which was torn down several years ago, and No. 29. No, 215 is the head office of the Abbey - National Building Society, and its officials believe they occupy the spot where Holmes had his rooms on the second floor. Once asked what house on Baker Street her father had 'in mind, Conan Doyle's daughter Jean replied: "It's only a guess, but I don't think he thought of any specific address. In those days Raker Street was a street on which a man like Holmes would have lived," eae wm. \ pays ARE HERE e-@ GAIN OTTAWA REPORT Confederation Train On Centennial Line By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Half the population of Canada can start. to dream that they will visit the centen- nial exhibit in its maiden-form car. The Confederation train will carry the exhibit across Canada throughout centennial year 1967. Eight motorized caravans will carry replicas of the exhibit to smaller communities which the train cannot visit. Its theme is to be Canada through the ages from the pre-ice age to the year 2067. The project officer in charge of this largest travelling show in the world is Ottawa's Les Maiden whose name is familiar in women's bedrooms around the world because of a widely advertised brassiere designed by his wife Norma. Tourists visiting the capital this summer have been sur- prised to see a number of adult civil servants playing with and photographing, a brightly- painted child's train, winding round Ottawa's famous sand- cliffs. They were experimenting with color schemes, and making colored photographs of the train --a replica of the Confederation train--for publicity purposes, It has 15 units, Two brightly painted diesel engines will pull seven dark colored utility coaches: three sleeping cars to accommodate the exhibition crew of 22 and a dining car for their use, an equipment car, a baggage car and a steam-generator car. The exhibit itself will be set up in six cars, each 85 feet long and 10 feet wide, painted in gay colors. ESCORT VIPs Les Maiden has previously es- corted VIPs around Canada, in- cluding prime ministers and U.S, presidents. He tells me that this Confederation exhibit will blaze new trails. It won't be a sterile museum-type show, but will comprise vivid designs, elec- tronic voice descriptions and sounds and smells, telling the story of Canada to Canadians who take the 30-minute walk through the rail cars. They will be reminded of the once - tropical swamps which gave us our rich oil deposits; they will be reminded of the ex- ploring voyageurs by a fish's- eye view of a canoe floating on a plastic river overhead; they will see immigrants trying to sleep in the cramped hunks of frail disease-ridden ships tossed by Atlantic storms; they will see a symbolic group represent- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS August 25, 1965... Ivan the Terrible, czar of Muscovy, was born 435 years ago today--in 1530-- and succeeded his father at the age of three, During his teens he seized control from a council of noblemen and became the first Russian ruler to claim the title of czar, Ivan laid the founda- tions of the modern Rus- sian empire in a decade of impressive conquest but from 1560 onwards his morbid fears of treachery opened the door to mass murder and destruction. He razed Great Novgorod, the second city of the kingdom, on the accusation of one councillor. At the age of 50 Ivan killed his own son. and heir in a fit of rage and the throne passed to the- Romanov family at his death in 1584. 1875 -- Captain Matthew Webb was the first to swim the English Channel. 1939 -- Britain and Po- land signed a treaty of mutual support, four days after the Nazi-Soviet pact was announced, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--Brest-Litovsk, one of the leading cities of Poland, fell to the Austro-German advance; four French squadrons dropped 15 bombs on a munitions plant at Dillingen, Germany. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1940 -- London un- derwent its fifth air raid in 48 hours; England was bombed from the Scilly Isles to the northeast coast; Hungary called up army reserves to back its de- mands upon Romania; the last British garrison at Shanghai was evacuated, ing the moment of truth when the fathers of Confederation con- ferred around a table conceived the project of a united Canada; they will find themselves deep in our rich mines, hearing the actual sounds of drills and ex- plosions and smelling pitch and Stale air. The Confederation train will follow the main railway routes across Canada for 331 days, opening in Victoria for a seven- day show on Jan. 9, pausing at 81 other cities, and closing in Montreal Dec. 5. Its visits will include Nanaimo (Jan. 17-19), Kamloops (Feb, 4-5), Kelowna (Feb. 7-8), Moose Jaw (March 29-31) Prince Albert (April 10- 13);, Port Arthur (May 21-24), Sudbury (May 30-June 3), Ot- tawa (July 1-12), Quebec City (Sept. 24-30), and Charlottetown (Oct, 20-22). The Confederation train cannot tour Newfoundland owing to the narrow gauge tracks laid there. TOWNS REMEMBERED The eight caravans will each consist of three station wagons and eight tractor-trailers. Each will tour a separate region of Canada, visiting communities which the train will not cover. At halt, the trailers will be parked corral fashion, enclosing a central exhibit space and Stage. Like the train, the cara- vans will be open free, from 9 a.m, to 11 p.m. daily. Centennial Commissioner John Fisher tells me that he has made an extensive study of the problems of caravan exhi- bits, and has picked up some useful tips from Lee Howard, mayor of Surfside, Fla., who is North America's leading expert in this field as the planner of the Ford Foundation trailer ex- hibit.

Among the novels which Iz- vestia thus classified were Agatha Christie's Ten Little Niggers, which is being serial- ized in Rural Youth, and The Mystery at End House, ap- pearing in the travel and ad- venture magazine Round The World, Novels by Agatha Christe are said to circulate among friends here in manuscript translation, while English pa- perback editions sell for up to six rubles (about $7.20) in the official secondhand bookstores for foreign literature. Detective literature has really only made its appear- ance in Russia since the 1953 death of Stalin, during whose lifetime mention of serious crime was considered a slight on the Soviet state.
