"SENSITIVE ATOM-SEPARATOR A complicated machine, known as an electromagnetic isotope separator, is in oper- ation at the Atomic Energy of Canada establishment at Chalk River, Ont. The separ- ator will aid scientists in their study of uranium fuel for atomic power stations. Dr. Robert H. Betts (left), head of AEC's research chemistry branch, and Dr. Fred Brown, in charge of the separator, conduct an experiment. --(CP Photo) Ottawa All Dressed Up For Rich Tourists By JACK VAN DUSEN OTTAWA (CP) -- The capital Is putting on its best bib and tucker to attract a capricious visitor with a purse full of money--the tourist. Thousands of flowers, bright uniforms and a colorful shop- ping mall are combining to make this city second only to Niagara Falls ag a Canadian tourist attraction. "Tourism is becoming our principal industry," says Dan McClymont, head of the board of trade. The city, the board and the federal government are doing their best to keep it that way. Biggest attractions are the giant tulip festival May 15-30 and the daily changing of the guard on Parliament Hill July 2 to Sept. 9. A major attraction of these events and dozens of others is that they are free. The tourist doesn't have to pay a cent to see the 1,000,000 tulip blooms, watch the red- coated guards or visit the Par- liament Buildings, the Royal mint where all of Canada's sil- ver money is made, the Na- tional Gallery, archives and mu- seums. MORE SPENDING MONEY This, reasons Mr. McClymont, leaves the tourist more money to share with local merchants. "Because there are all these free things to see, the tourist can spend an extra dollar for a meal and buy two ties instead of one to take home." The tulip festival, born of a gesture from a grateful Queen Juliana of The Netherlands, gives Ottawa one of the earliest- starting summer tourist seasons in the country. It will be offi- United States ambassador to Canada, in a ceremony made colorful not only by the flowers but by band music, a cluster of diplomatic, federal and civic of- ficials and a girls' choir. While the Ottawa ceremonies are being carried out a mes- senger will deliver a bouquet of tulips to Queen Elizabeth in| London. The festival season actually starts early in April with the blooming of some 350,000 cro- cuses dotting the 30-odd miles of driveways and sprinkled across the lawns of Parliament and National War Memorial. STARTED IN 1953 These are followed by 1,000, 000 daffodils. One bed in subur- ban Rockcliffe Park has 750,000 flowers. The tulips follow, blooming their best from May 15 on. There are 1,000,000 tulips, with the biggest bed of 121,000 |its Canadian Guards, performing precision drill on the Parlia- ment Hill lawn. SOME OPPOSE MALL Ottawa's Sparks Street mall could also be credited with at- tracting tourists to the capital-- although some of the merchants on the street will tell you that inaugural last summer wasn't a financial success. The mall, a pedestrian prom- enade along three blocks of the busy street, will be tried again this summer against the objec- tions of a minority of the street's merchants. Last year traffic was diverted and the street dressed up with sidewalk cafes, a play area, a fish pond, colorful benches and potted trees and flowers. Plans still are being studied for this year's venture, to cost some $25,000. Explorer Tell Stori which throw new light on the lives and activities of the ex- plorers have been found by New Zealanders working in the Ross Sea dependency. The workers, members of a department of scientific and in- dustrial research party, were renovating the hut erected at Cape Royds by Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1908-9 expedition and another erected at Cape Evang by Captain R. F. Scott s 1911-13 expedition. the Cape Royds hut al- ready had been cleared of ice and snow by previous working parties, the Cape Evans hut was two-thirds full of ice and com- pacted snow. The party removed 250 cubic yards with pick and shovel before leaving the hut clear and tidy and more or less as it was in Scott's time. During their work, they found! stores of food and clothing, par-| ticularly in the Cape Evans hut, which was occupied from 1915 to 1917 by a section of Shackle- ton's abortive expedition.

The| Air Ministry has agreed to pay| for a new tower and to replace! the spire if the nearby air sta-| tion is ever closed. at picturesque Dow's Lake in| south Ottawa. "It's going to be the best fes-| tival ever," says Gerald Gel-| dert, the city's tourist director. Mr. McClymont predicts the blooms will be seen by 100,000 persons. History of the festival, started | in 1953, is almost as colorful as| its blooms. The Queen of The Nether- lands who as Princess Juliana stayed in the capital during the Second World War, sent the city 20,000 tulip bulbs when she returned to Holland and| pledged another 15,000 a year| throughout her reign. An estimated 500,000 persons | watched the changing of the| guard ceremonies in its 10- week| run last summer.

A row of 32 houses in the colony is bearing the brunt of} what the capital's newspapers have described as a "strange| phenomenon." At any hour of|i the day or night, stones, medi-| | cine bottles and inkpots land on|g the asbestos-covered roofs of} the houses. No one knows where they come from. | Assisted by police, residents are keeping a round-the-clock] vigil. Newspapers have sent their crack reporters to cover] the mysterious happenings. After interviewing a number, of housewives a reporter of The| Statesman, the capitai's leading, English-language daily, wrote: "Small stones began falling sporadically on the sloping roofs of some houses of block 37. Within a few days all the houses were affected and the missile collection grew. To the stones were added small ink and medi- cine bottles. Oddly enough, many of the bottles remained unbroken. So far no one has been injured, though a child and a man were hit." THEORIES CONFLICT The police theory is that mis- chief-makers are out to frighten the residents. The people feel that evil spirits are responsible. Many of them attribute the happening to "Kuttichatan," one of the myth- ological spirits with a penchant for mischief and blackmail. Sardar Pritam Singh, one of the residents, said: "The police can do nothing in the matter. Some magicians have sum- moned Kuttichatan to perpetrate, the stone-throwing." Singh thinks the ogiolins| have been employed by some| | "disgruntled" citizen. He and| |several other residents of the| harassed locality are convinced | that the only solution is to ob-| tain the sérvices of more-power- ful magicians to counteract the| mischief and simultaneously or-| ganize prayers. Many Rajinder Nagar women have already started prayer] rounds. In one house two-dozen lamps have been lit and incense is being burned before idols of Lord Krishna, the great Hindu RADIO AUCTION.

NO. 1, OSHAWA rigidiare Relics PRINCE ALBERT es Evans hut belonged mostly to Shackleton's men, and this and other discoveries made by the working party as they hacked through the ice constituted a pathetic record of the explorers' privations. There was rough clothing of all kinds made out of canvas and old sleeping bags, and even footwear soled with case wood. There were defunct. New Zea- land periodicals and some Eng- lish newspapers and books. Everything was biack from the smoke of the seal blubber which the marooned party had to use for fuel and there were masses of blubber on the floor. Pinned to the door of the photographic darkroom in the hut was a letter from Captain J. K. Davis of the Aurora which was left behind when the ship rescued the men from the hui in 1917. It was addressed to the next people to visit the hut and PRINCE ALBERT -- Good Neighbors' Service Club met at the home of Pat Love with 15 present. After the usual opening exer- cises, G.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH 'The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive, There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. the sake' the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday For his children's sake. (3) is community and nation. (4) Book I Corinthians 12 Exodus 4 Matthew 6 Psalms 24 II Corinthians 12 Genesis 49 Matthew 28 Chapter Verses : Work? Pleasure? or For to a telephone call. The Church is for you! Its services of worship, its program of religious education, its comforting ministration in time of spiritual crisis . . . all for you! And the Church has a vital message--good news for a discour- aged world. It has a glorious work before it--a happy fellowship for men, women, and children of noble purpose, When someone says, "It's for you," our minds begin to buzz with questions. Who is it? What do they want? Good News? Bad News? It's for you! Commanding words that summon our immediate attention. And those words apply as well to the Church as they do The Church deserves your support.
