Doctors hope the idea will speed up the recevery of patients with se- vere body burns or spinal paralysis who should avoid contact with beds. It could also prevent bed sores. Researches which have been go- ing on at the department of biome- chanics and surgical materials at Stanmore Hospital, Middlesex, have been outlined in the medical jour- nal, The Lancet. In early experiments the doctors succeeded only in bouncing a man up and down on a air jet. Then they cosulted with engineers de- veloping a Hovercraft, a machine which rides along a few inches abeve the surface on a cushion created by downward-thrusting jets Using 12 specially designed jets, the doctors then applied the princ- ple to a pig. It worked. One an- esthetized pig was kept floating in the air for an hour. A small skin wound on the animal dried up in an hour, the Lancet re- ported. Normally, it would have taken 24 hours. OTTAWA -- Who's. going to get Mayor Whitton's "sookful of mon- ey"? when she passes. Controller Paul Tardif suggested that it would go towards construc- tion of a pavilion at Queen's Un- fiversity Kingston, for "perpetuation of women in politics." . Nhe spinster mayor whipped back that she might "set up an endow- ment ment for elderly controllers and grandfathers who are short of funds in their old age."' HANGHA, Sierra Leone -- The Queen brought luck to the diamond @iggers of Hangha. A half-dozen small gems were found in sifted gravel while she was inspecting the workings. The Queen picked her way through riverside mud over a rick- ety bridge to watch the workers Gigging in deep pits down to the Giamond bearing gravel. Standing knee-cap deep in muddy water, the diggers washed gravel and sifted it into little piles. The Queen saw a half-dozen stones, probably worth some £500, $1,400 picked out. LONDON -- A brewer has s5ug- gested that the new licensing laws should be printed in Chinese. Cus- tomers, he says, seeing the signs in Chinese hanging up in pubs would be curious enough to find what they're about. LONDON -- A young British couple has started a move to set up a community on a remote away- from-it-all island safe from nuclear war. They want 50 other couples and their children to join them in their venture to form a little island state with their own government, making their own laws and trading with other countries. Bernard Stanbury, 32-year-old business man who is father of the project, is searching for a likely island. be "The Royal Geographical Society has promised to help us find a suit- able place -- possibly in the sub- tropics -- to rent or live on free," Stanbury said. Stanbury advertised his idea in The Times of London. "Why shouldn't it. work?" his wife Sally said. "I'd like to start a family there." Stanbury said he wants two doct- ors, two teachers, a mining en- gineer and a geologists as specia- lists to form the nucleus of the com- munity. "Its not a Robinson Crusoe -vent- ure," he declared. 'We shall grade with other countries,"' Stanbury said money will be just for trading. "Everyone will work while the children are cared for in a com- munal nursery and the wives will help themselves to food from a cen- tral larder. "An appointed committee will be in charge like a government, and if anyone is guilty of a serious mis- deameaor he might be told to leave the island."' Each couple would have to put up $2,800 to pay for the initial in- stallation of the community -- por- table huts, food and stores for the first six months until they become self-sufficient, ALUM BAY, England -- Thou- sands of tourists every year dig in the famous coloured sands of this Isle of Wight resort.

The whole Anglican Church and the Salvation Army in Canada are officially observing this Sunday. The Churches in the United Stattes are also keeping Bible Sunday. This Sunday is also kept in En- gland and on the Continent. The Canadian Bible Society as- sists the Churches by issuing lit- erature on the spread of the Script- ures throughout the world. Many Churches and individuals make special gifts for the work on this occasion. A marked increase in interest in the Bible and its message for the troubled world of today is report- ed from all over the world.

The step-up to modernism and a new way of life has meant a break down of the old tribal system with the result that many children are abandoned. Then too tribal wars have meant scortched earth and an entirely dislocated way of life. As a re= sult, many children are homeless and starving. To give immediate help, the Canadian Save the Children Fund has sent $10,000.00 to be used to ease the plight of the young people in the Congo. More help is needed now and more will be given in the future.

Wilbert Neddo of Cobalt said he was driving north on Highway 11, when 'he saw 'the big cat come out of the Pinecrest Cabins, about two miles south of Cobalt. y "My headlights picked it up. It was as big as a lion in the circus and had a long tail. It walked across the road, and I got a per- fect look at it. It turned its head sideways, and I could see white tufts of hair by its mouth.'"' Mr. Neddo said that the animal was carrying a dead rabbit in its mouth. aii Mrs. Simone Laroche, who op- of semi-tame rabbits. She said she had not heard anything unusual during the night.
