She Oshawa Simes T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, -- PAGE 4 -- ee Canadian T.V. \ Just more Timing Most Opportune For Centennial Project Last Saturday the color and ex- citement of the mammoth parade through downtown Oshawa brought public awareness to the scope and potential of the city's Centennial Project. Last night the canvassers reecived their final briefing on the campaign. 'Today Oshawa citizens begin in earnest to amass the $500,- 000 which, will be their contribution to the construction of the recrea- tional complex Weing built in obser- vance of a's 100th birthday, As the Statements and articles published to date spell out explicit- ly, the Centennial Project has much to.commend it. hTe timing is most opportune, The need for the recrea- tional facilities and the additional accommodation it will provide is urgent, The city's rapid growth has outpaced present facilities, Rarely does the opportunity arise to pro- vide for the needs and well-being of the community with funds so read- ily available from govern- ments as is the situation today, The complex is needed whatever the financial situation. To have it class- ed as a Centennial Project -- anda most warthy one at that has eased the load considerably which senior Tax On Gasoline In its last edition the Ontario Motor League News took cogniz- ance of the last hike in the provin- cial gasoline tax. Soaking the motorist has heen one of the surest ways the provin- cial tax-gatherers have of raising easy money. Auto-owners and those who use tobacco and liquor are the most heavily imposed upon. Today the proyinces have been getting around to the housewives with their necessary purchases of things for the home. Those responsible for the impo- sition of these taxes are fond of saying how "fair" they are. They are impartial, widespread and non- discriminatory. In that they are correct, They are the great leveller. In comment The Sarnia Observer She Oshawa Zime T, L. WILSON, Publisher ! @. C.

SPACE PHENOMENA ABOUNDS Northland Becomes Mecca For Scientists Ry ALLEN SACKMANN FORT CHURCHILL, Man (CP)--A scientist with a pro- ject is a king with an empire when he arrives at the Churchill Research Range to conduct his experiments. Without charge, equipment worth $12,000,000 is available, for his use and more than 200 resident personnel are ready to provide technical support for his atmospheric research carried out with rockets and balloons. "This range !s unique," gays Miles MacGibbon, opera- tions chief for the National Research Council. "The only assessment made against the scientist {is his room 'and board and long distance tele- phone tolls." What he 'gets in return--in the interest of space re- search--makes an impressive list. He can select a rocket most suitable to his needs for his scientific payload, he can have it launched in a region where atmospheric phenom- ena abound and he can collect his data on a highly-sophisti- cated instrumentation system. The abundance of space Ee uae « makes this range, 6 mileg north of Winnipeg, a feasibility at the range, De tails then are worked out with NRC officials at the range Types of experiments that provoke the most interest among scientists at Churchill deal with the study of auroral activity and auroral particles) weather phenomena at high altitudes; measurements of the magnetic field and cosmic rays, An NRC publication says all have "great scientific signifi- cance and could lead to ex- tremely practical benefits to mankind," But to ask a scientist for the practical application of his experiment is likely to draw a quotation from the father of research, Faraday, who said: "If we knew what we are going to find out, there wouldn't be any need the expériments."' mecca for government + em ployed scientists from Canada and the United States as well as representatives of more than 40 universities and col- leges It lies in the heart. of the world's auroral belt, near the terminal point of the earth's magnetic field, within range of the mysterious noctilucent clouds and on the southern fringe of the breeding ground for most of North America's weather patterns.

The force, although success- ful in keeping the Greek- and Turkish-Cypriots apart during its two years on the island, may be serving only to delay the fighting. The operation, suffering financially, has been given a three-month extension to June 26 in hopes that "sub- stantial progress toward a sol+ ution" will have been made by that time However, progress in this direction has been practically nil s\nce the UN peace-keep- ing Wrive began March 26, 1964, and observers here ex- pect little or no change in the situation in the few weeks. the force has left.
