This just ex ceeded 1958's figure, and was 50 per cent above the previous rec- ord established in 1954 Just how fortunate Canada is, in having this natural and un- diminishing source of cheap and abundant power in her lakes and rivers, is shown by. another fact revealed by Mr. Hamilton. Al- though the capacity wat power plants in Canada now to- tals 24,884.848 horsepower, we still have more than double that amount, or slightly over 58,000 000 horsepo not yet har- nessed. OUR HYDRO ROBOTS The "white horses tossing down our rivers and leaping over our waterfalls all point to the same thing: When harnessed, they create an expanded produc- tivity for our labor force work, and they facilitate ease and comfort for our work and their wives at home The latest annual figures show that in one year use over 77,000,000,000,000 hours of electricity The greater part 57,000, - 000,000,000, is record of in Canada of this, or used in manufac turing and mining; our homes to- gether use one quarter of the amount used by our industries This huge total is the equival- ent of 50,000,000 tons of coal.

Three Canadians Conduct Experiment In Education By RUSSELL ELMAN BANDUNG, Indonesia (CP)-- In this mountain capital of West Java, a three-man Canadian re- search team is conducting a rev- olutionary experiment in educa- tion for Southeast Asia The Canadians, in co-operation with Indonesian experts, for the first time are trying to introduce up - to - date visual aid teaching practices into Indonesia's na- tional education program Their work is part of a special study by the department of gen- eral education on how best to correlate modern teaching meth- ods with the changing require- ments of the country's schools, El i a i as hundreds of thousands of new ¢ pupils each year enter the class- rooms. AIDED BY UNESCO Under the auspices of the United Nations Educational and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) and the education ministry, Indonesia's' first Teach- ing Aid Centre was established in 1956 in a residential district of Bandung. Graham Crabtree of Ottawa, a UNESCO audio-visual aids specialist, helped organize and set up the centre. "We plan to get away from pure academic training to some- thing more interesting and prac- tical," said Crabtree, formerly with the National Im Board and Crawley Films. "We are try- ng to introduce more activity into the classrgom" Working alongside Crabtree are Herb Taylor, a free-lance photo- grapher from Montreal, and Jim Pollock of Vancouver, director of audio-visual training for the Brit- sh Columbia education depart- ment. Both are employed under the Colombo plan technical assis- tance program. Mr. Taylor's chief task is continue photographic training for the Indonesian staff begun earlier by another Colombo plan expert from Australia. Pollock's assignment is to advise on meth- ods of using visual aids. "We hope experience of meth- ods used in Canada will be use- ful here," said Ferdinand Situ- morang, Indonesian director of the centre. "We want to intro- duce modern ideas but we must also start with simple things and approach step by step." AWAIT GUIDANCE He said more than 200,000 In- donesian teachers were awaiting guidance from the centre, but the program would be handicapped until the full 'aims and purpose of a national education policy were worked out At present classrooms were overcrowded, the curriculum was geared to text book instruction in prepara- tion for written examinations, and there was no special budget for producing visual aid mater- ials Meanwhile 400 normal school trainees have already done six- week courses at the centre, and the staff has given demonstra- tions to more than 7.000 teachers in out-of-town 'field trips. Plans now are being formulated to ex- tend training. In each course films a to demonstrate the value of audio-visual training: An Indone- sian has been sent to Canada on a UNESCO fellowship to study with the National Film Board Simple aids used for many years in Canada such as models, charts, graphs and masks are made by the permanent art staff. Taylor is producing film strips which eventually will form the basis of a film library.

Professor Blasts Stonehenge Theory By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON A British archeo- logist, Prof C. Atkinson, professor of at Uni versity College, Cardiff, has ex- ploded a long-cherished theory regarding the massive ring of stones on Stonehenge, near Salis- bury plains. These ancient stones are well known to tens of thou- sands of Canadians who were stationed at Salisbury Plains in both world wars. Men of the First Canadian Division in the first world war trudged past them on their route marches. Men of artillery regiments in the second world war, doing their practice shooting on the Plains, rode past them in their artillery squads. They are massive and impressive, and once seen can never be forgotten. The old theory has been these stones were part of a prayer ring raised there in pre- historic days by the ancient Druids who inhabited the dis- trict. Professor Atkinson. how- ever, challenges this theory in an illustrated guide '"'Stonehenge and Avebury and Neighboring Monuments', which he has writ- ten for the Ministry of Works The assertions made by Prof. Atkinson, that the stone ring was not of Druid origin comes as a surprise to those who have always believed in the old the- ory. It will particularly be a sur prise to members of the still existing Druid Order, who hold annual ceremonies which attract thousands of visitors to Salisbury Plain. Druids travel from abroad to take part in the ceremonies NEW THEORY Prof. Atkinson says that since was first suggested 300 years ago. that stone circles were druidical temples, it has been that popularly supposed 'that Stone henge was built and used by the Druids. "But the Druids," he says. "were a Celtic priesthood which flourished in Britain only during the few centuries before the Roman Conquest, It is very uh- likely that there were any Druids in these islands before 250 B.C., and by that time Stenehen had been built for more than 1600 years and may already have been partly in ruins." Prof. Atkinson names of two stones, the Stone and the Slaughter Stone, which are popularly connected with the idea of human sacrifice, were invented by over-zealous antiquaries. He says there is no evidence at all for supposing that human sacrifice was practised He also declares that although the axis of the monument points towards the sunrise the first rays of the mid - summer sun do not fall on the stone associated with them, as generally believed, nor were the builders necessarily sun-worshippers These crushing facts, appea ing in the new Ministry of Works guide book to the monuments, are entirely contrary to the views held since the 17th century and which have lingered tenaciously in the public mind since that time the Altar also says best she said admits to being nervous.

Her mother's theory is that Friday the 13th is a goodluck day. Born in Victoria, Miss Ellis has lived in Halifax and Ottawa. She came to London at the age of 18 to studv at the Central School of Speech and Drama, Before she had finished her three-year course, she was offer ed the only female role in The Desperate Hours. Since then she has done repertory work in Ox- ford, and three Shakespeare plays with the Old Vie Company. She has appeared in 12 British television film series and has been auditioned by the Rank or- ganization. "I would like very much to go back and work in Canada," she said.

"Any proposal of this sort," said C. E. Watson, weather bu- reau state climatologist, "needs the most careful consideration of all possible experts in the fields of oceanography. glaciology and climatology." Dr. Laurence Irving, of the Arctic Health Research Centre at Anchorage, commented: "It is not a measure upon which one should go off 'half-cocked." The consequences, which are so mys= terious to t average perscn, could have seriously dangerous results--as well as benefits."
