PAGE EIGHTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE \ MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1951 Canada Leader In Probing Cosmic Rays Canada is right up in front when | other' -- which support laboratories that make their own emulsions for the photographic plates sent into the sky by balloons to record the stars and cosmic rays, reports the current issue of C-I-L Oval In fact, sending balloons miles into space is getting to be a fairly routine business at the University of Montreal, with 20 flights com- pleted since 1947. The work is be- ing conducted by Professor Pierre Demers. Until 1940, the balloons that bore aloft Dr. Demers' photographic plates, along with the altimeters and other instruments, were made of rubber. A group or cluster of | four or five balloons with one gon- » Soi8 aiiachsd, would be sent aloft. | ith the 'decrease of air pressure, the bags would expand and sooner or later one or more would burst. The other two or three would lower the instruments to earth. Today, Dr. Demers is using bags of polythene. Unlike the rounded | rubber balloon of five or six feet | diameter, the polythene bag is | made in the shape of a sphere on top of a long, narrow cone, is som 25 feet high and open at the end. It weighs three pounds and is sent up singly, carrying a 10-pound gon- dola. Developed with the help of Cana- dian Industries Limited, from ma- terial of its manufacture, the bag is fashioned from panels or "lunes" of pelythene sealed together by heat. One great feature which provides an advantage over the rubber clus- ter type of balloon is that the single polythene bag tends to ride at a plateau high in the upper air en- abling concentrated set of impres- sions to be imposed on the photo- graphic plates for a general atmos- pheric layer. The bag may ride in this layer for hours. Dr. Demers reveals that 30 per | cent of the balloons released are lost; 40 per cent are reported al- most immediately and the remain- ing 30 per cent are reported eventu- ally. He pays a reward of $10.00 for return of the balloon and gondola in good condition. The longest trip made by a bal- loon released by Dr. Demers so far was to Aurora, near Bangor, Maine, almost 250 air miles from Montreal.

It | might be called "panic demand." | During the last war we called it | hoarding. It is the hole in the | dyke that might spell disaster. | When the dyke is' already under | pressure this seemingly small ex- | tra hazard is crucial. ; | The best evidence that this is a | formidable threat comes from | Macy's, the New York department store. that proudly claims to be the | world's largest. A short while ago | is was reporting that it had passed | its former record of a million dol- | lars in sales in a single day. Only | a short time ago it took paid a Hole In The | newspaper space to urge its cus- tomers to curtail their purchases. This didn't represent any change | in business policy but only recogni- tion that "fear buying" might com- | plicate disastrously an already be- | devilled price structure. The ad- | vertisement stated boldly that its customers, and probably the cus- tomers of most other stores, were not only buying more than -usual, due to the fact that they had more money. to spend, but were buying | more than experience proved they needed or could use. The conflict in Korea, the threat of possible | war in Europe, the -ever-present | | shadow of the atomic bomb were [= helping to set fear complexes | in motion and encouraging the in- | | stinctive reaction to prepare for the | worst by hoarding. | | "Buy nothing out of fear," urged | Macy's advertisement. "Buy only what you need or can use, but dont buy an "extra thing because of | 'what might happen.' There are | goods enough to satisfy your needs. | But 'there can never be goods en- | ough to satisfy your fears." We are all so confident that there | is some sort of conspiracy to in- | crease prices that we are ready to | point fingers of suspicion at anyone | | but ourselves. The producer and | the retailer are, perhaps, natural | suspects for they handle the goods | | on their way to us. It is hard for | | them to prove that neither likes | | run-away prices, neither can hope | | to benefit from them. If the world's | largest retailer is attempting to dis- | courage business it is because of | the recognition that extremes of | | buying on a depleted market mean | | hazard and hardship for all. That | | hazard and hardship are the sky= | rocketing prices that we create for ourselves. SEES ISRAEL WARFARE New York, April 9--(AP) -- Dr. | | Benjamin G.
