If technizal advances con- tinue, the noisy, bustling floor of Canada's largest stock mar- ket could turn into a sort. of gentlemen's club where traders address each other as "sir," If it Gomes to this, credit the exchange's $550,000 computer, Installed in late 1963, it was made partly operational May 1 the following year and now is about to speed transactions and provide better service and re- search data for brokers and their customers. By the end of this year, P. N. O'Hara, director of computer and communications at the ex- change, expects to provid e} brokers with more detailed and) sophisticated research material) and to give newspapers and in-) dividual customers faster and) more accurate data on a day's! transactions. | DIAL A NUMBER Sometime this month -- and) possibly this week -- the ex-| change hopes to begin provid-| WE MPN EAL OLLI ESI Of Amaz TORONTO..(CP)--~ Bruce Kidd's amazing exploits as Can- ada's great distance runner nave tended to draw attention away from his equally-amazing family. When Bruce, 22, arrives in India this fall to teach for a year, his parents and other members of his family will be with him, It's not unusual. The Kidd family have a fetish about travelling, 'We have tried to teach our children that the world is big- ger than your own city," Mrs. Kidd said Tuesday. This probably explains why Bruce disappeared after his disappointing performance at the Tokyo Olympics last Octo- ber. He took off by himself, travelling throughout Japan in old clothes.

One.benefit of having more detailed research material is that brokers should be able to give customers better advice about investing, Mr. O'Hara) says. | The computer now processes daily sales, provides bid and asked quotations in tables for some newspapers and calcu- lates hourly volumes. By the end of 1965 Mr, O'Hara hopes it will produce lists of the day's total transactions and the 15 most. active issues shortly after the market closes. The computer eventually will calculate the exchange's 19 in- dexes, indicators of the mar- ket's direction. HANDLE ALL DETAILS Mr, O'Hara says the day will come when the computer will have a hand in all details of transactions from sale to tabu- lation, A floor trader now executes an order, then hands a slip of paper to a clerk who processes the information through the computer after arranging the figures so the machine will ac- cept them. Mr, O'Hara would like to see the computer on the floor han- dling specially-treated slips of paper given it by traders, This would speed tabulation and re- duce the possibility of human error by eliminating another manual step, The day may come, he says, when traders are equipped with neck microphones and_ their spoken information goes di- rectly into the computer for processing. 7-FOOT BEAST ON THE LOOSE SMITHVILLE, Ont.
