Radar - Super Secret of War Veil Lifted on 'Seeing Eye' Of Allied Fighting Forces .One of the great secret stories o£ the war was released by London and Washington on the day of the war's ending--radar. Sir Stafford Cripps, who was chairman of the British Radio Board during a great part of radar's development, said: "Radar played a greater part in the whole war than the atom bomb itself. It contributed to the winning of the * war more than any other single As British and American censorship lifted the veil of secrecy from the invention, it became known that radar: Played a major role in winning the battle of Britain and defeating the German air blitz of 1940 and 1941; Helped to locate and sink the battleships Bismarck and Scharn- Enabled German industrial cities to be pulverized by huge bomber forces, despite darkness and cloud; Silenced German coastal batteries in France before the D-Day landings in Normandy; Guided paratroops to their destinations; Helped to win the battle of the Atlantic; Defeated the flying bomb, Germany's VI weapon. Principle Is Simple Its principle is simple. It Is nothing more than the transmission of radio energy into the atmosphere. These waves speed through the air until they strike an object and then are deflected back to be picked up on a receiving set. The time elapsed between the transmission and its receipt gives you the distance of the target; the initial direction of the *ave, its position, says The Winnipeg Free Press. Some of the incredible feats performed by radar were announced In a recent news release from London, England. It can pick up rain storms and even the tops of waves. It will locate planes in flight and provide the information for determining, not only their course and speed, but also their A Fly breeds in garbage and manure, spreading disease germs to everything it touches.

Furthermore, it will trace out land contours with the accuracy of a chart. It has removed almost all, if not all, the hazards of fog, ice and collision at sea. Merchant Ships To Profit It is easy to see how merchant ships will profit by the addition of radar. Shipping so equipped will no longer be hobbled by fog or forced to alternative and longer routes by ice, as frequently happens off the Canadian east coast. But it will be more important still on the less travelled commercial A good example is the Hudson Bay route to Churchill where navigational aids are few and far between and magnetic disturbances add additional hazards. A freighter carrying radar will be able to World Hopper A super-bomber of the type which Gen. Henry H. Arnoloy commander of the U. S. Air Forces, says the Army now has, could circle the earth at the equator ih only three jumps. Circumference of the equator is 24,902 miles.

Furthermore, the majority of modern freighters are now equipped with Sperry gyro compasses, an added advantage in northern waters where the nearness of the magnetic pole plays hob with the standard magnetic compass. Canadians' Role Something of the part Canadians played in the radar war was told in news despatches which accompanied the original release. Nearly 6,000 Canadian radar mechanics and officers answered an appeal for such technicians by Britain. This was more than half of the total serving in the R.A.F.'s ground and air installations in the European and Pacific theatres. Basic training in radar principles was provided in 15 Canadian universities and so competent were the men turned out in these courses that they were soon to be found in nearly every field where radar Canadian radar officers and technicians were also appointed to ny ships of the Royal Navy, in additi the Canai of ning German radar develotpments never matched those of the Allies, neither did their efforts to counter the effects , of this weapon. The Nazis lagged in -this, as they did in so many other fields of research during the war. It was fortunate for us they did. Super-Nylons To Last Ten Years? The probability of a super-nylon wa,s predicted by Dr. Geodge R. Harrison, head of the physics department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Super-nylons might be expected to make a stocking to last ten years, or to stand extraordinary wear without quickly being worn out, he said. WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Pilot's Night Light We were the first country to engage extensively in night-fighting, writes the London correspondent of the Ottawa Journal. Its problems have b e e en studied scientifically by the R.A.F., and big improvements devised. Above all things a night pilot needs to see objects outside, the aircraft, but he is handicapped and dazzled by the lighting needed for the controls in the cockpit r.nd by reflection from the wind and side-He has been, therefore, in a worse case than anyone trying to see out of a lighted room at night. A new method of duel system lighting has now been devised which provides floureseent lighting for the instrument panel and red lighting to illuminate the cockpit. By these means reflections are eliminated and the cockpit lighting interferes only to a negligible degree with vision of outside objects. Eye-strain and general fatigue are reduced to the minimum. The fluorescent lighting is obtained by painting- the instruments, much as the hands of a watch are made luminous. The interior red light has the advantage that objects show up brightly when directly observed but fade out when the observer looks away from them. Moreover, the pilot can regulate the strength of the lighting according to r BRITAIN HONORS ITS WAR LEADERS Canada Has No Jeeps for Civilians Plagued by tens of thousands of requests, War Assets Corporation came out with these salient facts In relation to itself and the jeep: We have no jeeps for disposal. We have never had any. W don't expect to have any for a long time ,if ever. By telephone, letter and the spoken word, the tens of thousands have been harrying the corporation with requests for jeeps to be put into civilian uses. For their leadership of Britain's armed forces to victory in the war in Europe, three men were named barons, with the title of "Lord" and seats in the House of Lords, in the "resignation honors" list drawn up by Winston Churchill upon his retirement as Prime Minister. The men are, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Andrew Cunningham; Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Charles Portal; and Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke. Their appointments were approved by King George VI. Uranium Flown Out Of Australia Winston Churchill early last year asked Australia, for all the uranium it could " produce tor atomic bombs, and operations tre-gan promptly at the Commonwealth's only source of supply of the product at Mount Painter, 409 miles north of Adelaide, it was disclosed. Within six weeks, machinery had been installed and roads and an-airport built to fly the element out of the country. Exact use of the uranium remained a secret, of course. 20 Crews Seek Uranium Deposits The : of 1 and its role in atomic bombs and atomic power have focused the eyes of the world on the mining belts of northern Canada, particularly on the Great Bear Lake'area of the North West Territories, says the Financial Post. The action of the Dominion Goveri rights radioactive i taking all uranium in the North West Territories and the Yukon, by instrument of order-in-council of September, 1943, has lessened the interest of the average prospector in the area. It has, however, quickened the interest of the government-employed geologist and engineer to the extent that the Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply, has announced the use of 20 government prospecting parties in exploring the area in the general vicinity of Great Bear Lake. Churchill Cheered By London Crowd Winston Churchill was cheered wildly outside Buckingham Palace by a jubliant V-J-Day crowd that practically ignored Prime Minister Clement Attlee and his new Labor Cabinet. Attlee and his official party drove unrecognized past tha crowd, which had been waiting for hours to greet them. A few minutes later, Churchill's car drove up from the opposite direction and the cheering mob) broke through police lines to reach him. Churchill beamed happily aud Swift Ease for Miserable BACKACHE Don't trifle with that backache, because backache, along with leg cramps, restless nights, puffy eyes, rheumatic pains and frequent headaches are sure signs that your-kidneys are lazy.
