10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, August 19, 1965 New Image On 'Floor' JOHN BELANGER TORONTO (CP) -- Now - har- ried traders at the Toronto Stock Exchange soon may be strolling around during bust- ness hours purring their orders into neck microphones in an atmosphere of soft lights. and) @, sweet music. 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.

His imagination may have been playing tricks on him but the trucker said he doesn't drink and the 1,000 residents here are taking him seriously. The Smithville detachment of the OPP has been deluged with phone calls from worried villagers "Children are off the street early and not too many adults are walking alone after dark," one officer said So far police have been un- able to find any trace of the monster and they are trying | to locate the trucker for more information Sales of guns and ammuni- tion have been brisk at a town hardware store where proprie- tor C.
