In response ta tlie public interest generated by thîs important astronomical event, the McLaughlin Planetarium of the Royal Ontario Museum lias published a poster full of "eclipse facts". The Planetarium poster describes the forthcoming eclipse, the frequency, causes Letters to the Editor DearJohnny: After reading the excellent letter sent for publication in your paper of Feb. 14, from the Executive SEAP, I feit I just had to add some thouglits on my feelings in the matter. Since the Ont. Government and Hydro have again made a big booboo in their estimation of the peoples needs as regards electrical energy, we, the ordinary John Doe's, will have to suffer. That is, in our pocket-books. But the real issue here is that a few concerned citizens took the time to researchi the matter and intelligently, through the media, through literature, and open public meetings, inform any or al who were interested, of the reai underlying facts of the "whys" and why sucli urgency? Thank goodness there are enougli concerned citizens to raise their voices, and as in the case of "SEAP", put TIRE 'ý "'299 DEAN AV E. OSHAWA 576-1220 Chargex brakes on some of these high-handed plans. And here again we are confronted with another matter which has a great bearing on the lives of the people. It is the matter of banning pot-lucks from our way of living.I don't think this has become mandatory yet, but if some protest *s not made, what could liappen? For as long as I can remember, this social custom has been the hub around which community life has focused. It is often after that friendly get-together, that people get to know each other. And as far as cleanliness in the preparation of food, most folks go to extra efforts to make their contribu- tion of food, (to whatever the occasion) the very best. If this type of hospitality at church or meeting is condemned, tliey might just as well caîl off those friendly refreshments at the close of meetings. Tliank-you once again for allowing me to speak my mind. Keep weli, and ail the very best. Queenie Fletcher Ed's note: It appears that potluck suppers and bake sales have had a reprieve.

Hwy. - 2, Courtbce or3for8l.0O Associate - Curator - in - Charge of the McLaughlin Pl'anetarium, cautions that no one should look directly at a partially eclipsed sun since there is a strong risk of permanent eye damage. An easy and safe way to observe the eclipse is to make a small hale in a piece of cardboard and project the sun's image through it on ta a darkened screen or wall. Each Tuesday and Wednes- day at 8:30 p.m., the McLaughlin Planetarium presents a programme called STAR TALK - a live discussian about the current niglit sky. On February 13, 14, 20 and 21, STAR TALK will include a discussion of the solar eclipse and the Planetarium's Zeiss Pro jector will be used to demonstrate liow an eclipse occurs. In special recognition of the eclipse, the ROM's Discovery Raom has instailed an ingenious working model that demonstrates both solar and luna eclipses, total and partial. The components of this model, made by Oscar Rogers, a volunteer of the Discovery Room, include a 150 watt reflector spot-liglit, an ordinary terrestrial globe turned by a simple dlock motor, a grey plastic bail and a synclironous motor, geared down by mechano gears. The Discovery Room is open for visits Monday through Friday, 12 noon ta 5:00 p.m.; Satur- days and Sundays, 1:O00p.m. ta 5:00 p.m. Children under six not admitted. The -McLaughlin Planet- arium wishes everyone a happy and safe eclipse view- ing - the next total eclipse visible from North America will not occur until August 21, 2017!
