4 The Canadian Statesman. Bowi Cdn. Club Speoker Durumiy rarper The Canadian Club of West Durham will meet Monday, Nov. 22 at 8:15 p.m. in Trinity United Church Hall, Bowman- ville. The speaker will be Dorothy Harper - Author and Physicist whose topic will be "Eye In The Sky - The Story of Canada's Earth Satellite". Dorothy Harper was born in England and is an Honours graduate in physics of King's College, University of London. During the War she was engaged in Radar Research and Development at the Minis- try of Supply. She emigrated to Canada in 1947. For the next twenty years she worked in the researcb department of How- ard Smith Paper Mills (ater the Domtar Research Centre), serving on several technical committees of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association. In 1967, she was appointed an Associate Professor in the Physies Department at Bish- op's University, retiring in 1973. Throughout the period she was actively engaged in furthering and improving the teaching of science in our schools. She helped with the organization of Science Fairs and the publication of "Sci- ence Affairs", a magazine for high school students. For six years she organized and lectured at a Science Sym- 'posium for young people and the general public--a 3 day Easter vacation event at the Cornwall Collegiate and Voca- tional School. Since retirement she has, by means of writing and lectur- ing, devoted herself to a problem which greatly con- cerns her--the lack of aware- ness on the part of Canadians and especially young Canadi- ans, of the very great con- tribution of Canadians in the sci entific field. Her recently published book, "Eye In The Sky" is about one of these major accomplisrhments. It des- cribes Canada's participation in the earth satellite problem and her work has been endorsed by authorities in this field. In ber Canadian Club tour, Miss Harper will discuss and, with slides and models, demonstrate, tbe fascinating progress and achievements of this new scientific tool. Two brief extracts from her book will highlight the spectacular results obtained to date: "Easb satellite photograph covers an area of 13,225 square miles. Conventional aerial photography would re- quire about 100 separate photographs and many hours of flying under different light conditions." "A ship carrying out seis- mic investigations for oil in northern waters was faced with a seemingly inpenetrable ice barrier and thought it would have to turn back. A satellite photo, interpreted by engineers at the Prince Albert receiving station, enabled them to inform the captain of an opening in the ice 40 miles further south. With this "in- stant" information he was able to complete his survey and get out again the same day." This will be a colour slide presentation an will be open to all at $2.00 adults and $1.00 students. OPP REPORT murng the past week the Ontario Provincial Police at Newcastle investigated 20 motor vehicle collisions and over 100 occurrences of a general nature. Five of the 20 accidents resulted in injury to 8 persons and when causes 'of the collisions were investigated 8 persons were charged with offences contrary to the Higb- way Traffic Act. The general occurrences investigated included offences sucb as wilful damage, as- sault, fraud and tbeft and bave resulted in 5 persons being charged witb offences against the Criminal Code of Canada. "Driver Drowsiness" It is common in tbe winter for a motorist to become drowsy at tbe wheel, especial- ly witb the beater on and the windows closed. To guard against this type of situation, especially on a long trip, stop for a coffee break and possibly a few minutes rest. Anotber suggestion, is to open your car window just enough to ensure proper ventilation. A little fresb or cold air belps to perk you up. C.J.
