The challenges, successes and future or the exploration Also featured are motion pictures and art work representing both scientific principles and the cultural impact of man's venture into the endless frontier of Space. The pavilion, located in the rnecharurlike steel structure linked to the ile Notre Dame express stop, is divided into two major areas to present both manned space night and the field of scientific satellites. By Rosemary Cross Toronto based rock group Syrinx said a musical thank you to all the people who rallied around to help them raise funds after a Nicholas Street fire destroyed their equipment earlier this year. Manned space flight exhibits are mainly con- cerned with lunar landings by American Astronauts however, earlier space-craft are shown. Borrowed from the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution, these antiques provide a dramatic per- spective of the past ten years. They presented a free concert in Ramsden Park on Saturday afternoon and several hundred people accepted their invitation to be thanked. Supporting the Syrinx was Boogie Dick, alias Lloyd Milligan, who sang an assortment of folk, blue and original material in a Since the giant-screen film, "North of Superior" was given its first showing at the Ontario Place Cinesphere on opening day, May 22, it has become "the hit of the show" with its unique, overwhelming use of the curved, six-storey-high picture that totally involves the viewer in what he is seeing. The success of "North of Superior" has brought fame to several talented Ontarians, including Bill Houston, who sings its catchy theme, “Ojibway Country" on the film's soundtrack. Ontario Place had so many inquiries at the site, by phone or by mail about the singer and the song that it was decided to record "Ojibway Country" 'for public sale. Today, Thursday, Sep- tember 9, through the combined efforts of Sumus Records, London Records, MCA Canada and the Ontario Government's Department of Trade and Development, a recording of “Ojibway Country" is being officially released for sale throughout the province. Bill Houston is a native of Sioux Lookout, north of Dryden, Ontario. His per- sonal knowledge and love of the country is reflected in the song. which he himself wrote.

A single F-l engine - five of which are used to launch the Apollo aturn Moon rocket -e is many times larger than the first spacecraft. This is the first object the visitor sees when entering the Space Pavilion. The F-l rocket engine is over 19 feet high, weighs more than 20,000 pounds and five such engines provide the initial power to lift the Apollo Saturn an.d its three man crew on a Journey to a moon landing, They have an operational life of 2% minutes and after turn-out, fall into the sea. As the visitor rides the escalator to the entrance of the pavilion, the Mercury spacecraft comes into view, suspended under its recovery parachute. Mer- cury is the first US manned spacecraft v the type in which Alan Sheppard made his initial Wrninute ballistic flight and in which John Glenn orbited the earth three times in the first U.S.A. space flight. capable and entertaining manner. Syrinx itself consists of three musicians, all highly skilled, and an almost never ending variety of in- struments - moog syn- thesizer, organ, clarinet, sax, african drums, plus percussion and electrical sounds. They are a progressive and original group, whose music has a basic and almost medieval air to it. In an adjacent area will be the Gemini XI spacecraft flown to an attitude record of 351 miles in 1966. Charles Conrad and Richard Gordon were the crew. On the same flight Gemini XI made rendez-vous and docked with while working in his father's print shop in Sioux Lookout. He took time off to travel about Europe, during which time he says he often "sang for his supper" on the streets and in cafes. When he returned to the land "North of Superior," he appeared at concerts at Thunder Bay's Lakehead University, and sang in "Spike," a coffee house in that city. Bill Houston plans to concentrate now on his singing career, which he feels took a giant step for- ward with his performance on the "North of Superior" soundtrack and the newly- released recording of "Ojibway Country." l wi'"' :4:' 1 (W177 ("r l [ ' / V P, J "/ef,_:,'sf,,,_i,/ 1 (i cr") ()i(')',) yiwssro WE NEED CARRIERS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: .

A film by designers Charles and Ray Fames will take the visitor to the farthest reaches of the universe and back then into the absolute center of a single human cell. The mathematical principle of size and time are explained during this extraordinary educational film presen- tation. an Agena rocket which is also exhibited. The Agena is one of the most successful rockets in the Amerie n programs. having flo n over 300 missions of arious types. A full size mod of an Xu5and a real H-l rocket engine is also exhibited. More films, slide shows, models and space hardware come into view as the visitor traverses the rest of the manned-flight section of the pavilion. Both the machines and the men of space-flight are featured. in special areas art work shows, to some extent, the cultural impact of space exploration. Artists include professional painters and illustrators who have worked in the NASA program, seven- year-old school children in the U.S.A. and the highly imaginative works of Canadian artist Claude Roussel, who produced several lunar surface paintings. Photographic portaits of the elite group of men and women who have flown in space are shown, as well as a roster of the dates, flights and mission highlights accomplished. Nearby are objects related closely to man in space -- a Gemini space suit, space food and water, cooled un- derwear worn on the surface of the moon, etc. Russian space theorist Konstantin Tsiolkorsky and American rocket pioneer Robert H. Goddard are represented in pictures and models in the same areas where films of lunar lan- dings are shown. The scientific satellite portion of the exhibit features and exhilirating sound and light show representative of the universe. This serves as a backdrop to the presentation of models of numerous and varied earth and deep probe satellites. These are the most modern tools in weather forecasting, communications, and scientific studies of the earth environment. A special case contains early scientific instruments used when man began the serious and recorded study of his planet in relation to the universe, The exploration of space and the use of space-based studies of the planet earth are following the pattern by which all present day science and technology has been mastered. WESTON-YORK TIMES CARRIERS WANTED The pick of the most popular flower bulbs for 1971 reflects the choice of thousands of flower lovers who visited the world- famous Keukenhof bulb garden in Holland this past spring. These visitors from many parts of the world selected ten bulbs - eight tulips, one hyacinth and a daffodil - all of which will be available in Canada for planting this fall. The bulbs were chosen for their colour and appearance and are sure to prove equally popular with tlower lovers in Canada. While some of the flowers are beautifully exotic, they are all easy to grow, as long as they are planted in the fail. The 1971 flower bulb selection announced by the Netherlands Flower-bulb Institute should prove helpful to homeowners when deciding what to plant for a beautiful spring garden next year. Visitors to the Keukenhof show gardens picked "Explorer" as the out- standing Daffodil. This is a trumpet Daffodil with a magnificently formed, large flower in golden yellow. It's an ideal flower for planting in clusters, whether in a wooded area, by a stream, or around a garden tree. "Delft Blue" won selection as the 1971 choice for Hyacinths. This particular bulb has an unusually large, well-filled flower spike in porcelain blue and adds delicacy and fragrance to any spring garden. An imaginative place to plant "Delft Blue" bulbs this fall is by a window. In spring, when the flower blooms, the Hyaeinth's beautiful scent will come drifting through the open window and fill the room with its perfume. The stately tulip still remains the most popular spring flower and this is reflected in the 1971 selection of eight tulips out of a total of ten bulbs. "Kees Nelis," a Triumph class Tulip, is one of the classic tulips without which Princeps, the tosterlann tulip pictured here is not only admired by Patrick Robillard in the picture, but was selected as one of the top ten bulbs by thousands of visitors to the Keukenhot gardens in Holland last Spring. Flowers in the Top Ten and Girls no spring garden would be complete. "Kees Nelis" has a large, blood-red flower with orange-yellow colouring along the edges of the petals. It has a strong stem, is of medium height and blooms in mid-spring. When planted in a cluster in a bed, the "Kees Nelis" will bring a blaze of colour to your spring garden. A perfectly formed tulip is "Pink Supreme," prime choice of the Darwin class. This flower is of a very delicate bright pink which becomes somewhat lighter towards the petal edges. This class of tulip, named after the great naturalist Charles Darwin, is the mainstay of most spring gardens, the flower being of good size on a strong, erect stem. "Pink Supreme" will bloom in May and makes a wonderful border plant by itself. Another Darwin class of tulip selected for 1971 is "Flying Dutchman," a scarlet-red flower of perfect shape and texture. Besides being one of the tallest growing of all tulips (about 30 inches), it is also one of the last to bloom in late spring. "President Kennedy," the 1971 International Selection in the Darwin Hybrid class, has a large golden-yellow flower with a deep bronze- green base. No other tulip equals this class in flower size and because of its size, pm». «as a.» ”an.“ mo pm on“ Spot-0| 'Hn: ly and.

This tulip belongs to the Lily-flowered class, resembling the lily in some ways. With long and pointed petals, the flower opens up and is an exotic addition to a spring garden, especially when planted in clumps together with other types of tulips. "President Kennedy" should be planted in the background of a mixed border. " It in u tter.. gem .

Like the legendary cowboy, the hero, Barry Newman, is a loner - a man with his own peculiar sense of freedom. The life-style the cowpoke sought within the apparently limitless space that surrounded him, Newman as Kowalski seeks through the illusion of limitless speed. The action in Vanishing Point encompasses the longest and, quite possibly, the most complex car chase ever recorded on film. The distance he is pursued from Denver to just over the California boarder is, for Kowalski, the ultimate trip. The producer, Norman Spencer, is as obsessed with film as his hero is with speed. He has had a hand in bringing Zorba the Greek, The Blue Max and Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines - to name a few - to the screen and now with Vanishing Point, Spencer pulls something of a coup in that he demonstrates runaway production in reverse.
