NS CP The $25million expansion of the Bell Museum here will be com pleted this fall one year behind schedule The official opening will be held next spring Forty men are employed on the project which began in the fall of 1975 The original Aframe struc ture which opened in 1956 is undergoing renovations but soon will be open to visitors This building will depict Bell the Man through memorabilia and expanded photographic ex hibits showing visual biogra phy of his life which has been documented by National Geo graphic photographers since Alexander Graham Bells fatherinlaw founded the magazine and Bell himself was president The exhibit will show what kind of person Bell was his early life basic interests moti vations his family life and his great striving to improve The difficulty of Arabic NICOSIA Cyprus AP The Arabic language is the beauty and the bane of the modern Arab world Its lush poetry and flighty rhetoric endow 120 million per sons across the Middle East and North Africa with rich heritage But it also straps them to mode of expression more attuned to camel cara vans than space vessels Most Arabs just borrow straight from English saying sandweesh for the word sandwich But those who insist on the proper expression defined by Cairos Philology In stitute must struggle with an upper slice and lower slice with between them something fresh This kind of inflexibility has made it difficult to adapt Arabic to modern develop ments As result Arabic speakers find it impossible to keep abreast of progress in technology medicine and natu ral sciences without learning English French or Russian Lack of precision also con tributes to the problem In popular speech for example the present and the future are one and Ihesame Lebanese who says boukra tomorrowr actually means to morrow or within the next few days REPEATTHEMSELVE Similarly there is no way to say too much To express the idea Arabic speakers must re peat themselves saying much much Repetition and verbosity are part of the language promi nent Lebanrse Moslem leader once answered newsmans question with 15minute speech that Lebanese rcpor ter translated for his foreign colleagucsasnocommenl In addition popular speech varies enormously from coun try to country To say chicken in Egypt it is farakh In Lebanon it is dijaj In Iraq farouj The word for have breakfast in Lebanon means to clear your mind in Egypt Written Arabic is standard across the Arab world Since it all comes from the Koran the Moslem holy book it cannot be changed without en dangeri ng the sacred word Three falcons help planes NORTII BAY Ont CP Rick Jcrcma of Vancouver and his three trained falcons have cleared seagulls away from the local landfill site and made the airways safer for armed forcts planes Jerema was asked by the ar med forces to get rid of the seagulls which were creating hazard foraircraft at Jack Gar land airport used by the forces Master W0 Doug Read said that last summer one bird plane collision just about rip pod out the motor of the plane and two recent bird strikes caused $10000 worth of damage to airplanes lerema said he has been in terested in falconry since his youth He said he and two other men rcccivc contracts to get rid of birds when they create prob lems ill airports He is working under throemonth contract and said he expects to return to Vancouver about the end of June Maj Bill Worthy

that of teacher of the deaf not an inventor His mother was deaf as well as the woman he married When he was 70 he wrote that recognition of my work for and interest in the education of the deaf has always been more pleasing to me than even recog nition of my work with the tele phone The most significant addition is the third new wing which will house artifacts of the hydro drome the HD4 left

conducted many of his aeronautical experiments Bell who lived in Washington was greatly bothered by the summer heat When he went to Cape Breton in the summer of 1885 he decided to buy 1000 acres of land which covered mountain overlooking Baddcck Bay for summer retreat In 1892 he had house built on the point at cost of $22000 Newspapers described it as Bells Palace at Baddeck The fittest mansion in Eastern Can ada Bell spent every summer of the last 30 years of his life at Beinn Bhreugh conducting all his later experiments He was born in Edinburgh in 1817 and died at Beinn Bhrcagh Aug2

in anklelength Indian garments took their Hare Krishna dance and chant into St Peters Square under the windows of Pope Pauls apart ment but police promptly urged them away The other founders Pamela Borden from Madison Wis and David Naysmith from Edinburgh have left for India DEVOTEI TO PREACHING The residents of the Rome temple who have devoted their lives to preaching and prose lytizing number about 50 ranging from 20 to 35 in age Miss DAmbrosio said About onethird are women The cults world leader His Divine Grace Bhaktiven danta Swami Prabhupada tried to be received by the Pope when he came to Rome in 1975 He was granted meeting with Sergio Cardinal Pigncdoli heard of the Vatican Secretariat for NonCatholic Religions Prabhupada told the Cardinal that Catholics should stop kill ing and eating animals if they wanted to become good wor shippers He said Christ was just another name of Krishna and that the commandment Thou shalt not kill refers to animals as well as humans Miss DAmbrosio said the Rome temple now was totally selfsupporting through selling their books and theinccnse they manufactured She said private local radio stations broadcast their ser mons hymns and vegetarian recipes in Rome and four other Italiancities They now are preparing roving temple in the form of big tent that the Krishna follow crs will takeon tour of Italian cities this summer Russians

rough on refugees Amnesty International says OTTAWA CP Amnesty lntemational says the govern mcnls proposed new immigra tion bill does not make ade quate allowances for the special conditions of

economic criteria such as the chnnccs of getting jobs in the case of emergency movements of refugees into the country But it still plans to up ply economic criteria to per sons and families who
