WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN Trip to Moon Seen Possible As Physicists x . wy Di oN , pe . py London, Ont. --(CP)-- Scientists from nine countries concerned mostly with things out of this world, met here this week and talked about such things as rocket flights to the moon and the mys- teries of the northern lights. The auroral Physicists who open- ed a four - day convention at the University of Western Ontario sel- got any closer to the earth than 60 miles. Their interests were chiefly with the aurora, the upper atmosphere where light is produced by the pas- sage of particles which originate in the sun. Conclusions understandable to the layman were far from numer- ous. The Physicists, from such countries as France, Norway, England, Germany, Sweden, India, Ireland, the United States and Canada, agreed that the northern lights, for one thing, are still more to be admired than understood. Specifically, these men are try- ing to ascertain the nature of the particles which come from the sun, ang the properties of the upper ate mosphere. Most of the light generated occurs 60 miles from the earth, but it has occurred up to 600 miles away. While working to satisfy their own curiosity, the Physicists may eventually pave the way for the first rocket flight to the moon or beyond. In addition they may be able to help weather forecasters make accurate long - range pre- dictions. Professor D. R. Bates, well- known auroral expert from Queen's University, Belfast, has something to say about what a rocket ship might encounter on the way up. The temperature of the atmos- phere 40 miles above the earth is far below zero, he said, but at a height of 150 miles it is 3600 de- grees Fahrenheit above zero--or roughly the temperature of red hot iron. However, despite the heat, Dr. Bates had hopes that rocket ships would safely penetrate this hot belt. The atmosphere, he explain- ed, is so rare and the molecules so few that there is almost a va- cuum with the result that space- travelers wouldn't feel the heat. The conference is sponsored Jointly by the University of West- ern Ontario and the geophysical Jesearen division of the US. Air 'orce, CASE DISMISSED Vancouver (CP) -- Because she' walked in uninvited, a woman lost a claim for damages against a Vancouver garage for injuries suf- fered when she slipped and fell in- to a grease pit. Hospital Bed Shortages Now Being Reduced A shortage of beds in Ontario public hospitals and sanatoria-- which totalled more than 15,000 at the start of 1947--will have been reduced to less than 6,500 in the near future, Hon. Mackinnon Phil- lips, Minister of Health for the Pro- vince, has anrounced. "The shortage of beds for the acutely ill, chronic and convalescent cases, and tuberculosis patients, has Birth Rate Shows Jump In Canada Ottawa (CP) -- Canada's birth- rate climbed steadily during the first four months of this year. The Bureau of Statistics reported Monday that in the period there were 114,971 births compared with 110,172 in the corresponding months of 1950. In April alone there were 30,880 births compared with 28,941. Marriages were slightly higher. From Jan. 1 to April 30 they total- led 23,828 compared with 23,078. In April there were 7475 compared with 7017. . There were fewer deaths in April but the total for the four montas was higher than that for the cor- responding period of last year. In April they numbered 11,207 against 11,649. In the January-April period they totalled 44,668 compared with been cu; by more than 5,000 in the | 41,607 past four years," Dr. Phillips said. "It is in the process of being further alleviated owing to the fact that accommodation for an additional 6,000 beds in the form of new builldings and additions to existing hospitals is presently under con- struction or planned." He pointed out that more than 2,000 beds had been abandoned during the period. The situation in regard to tuber- culosis sanatoria is particularly gratifying, the Minister of Health added. A shortage of more than 400 beds which existed at the beginning of 1947 would soon be eliminated, since building accommodation for the needed beds either had been constructed, was under construction or was definitely planned. The Ontario Government, in as- sisting alleviate this acute bed shortage, had appropriated since January, 1947, more than $15,000,- 000 for this purpose--distributed in the form of capital grants. Further, maintenance grants to existing pub- lic hospitals and sanatoria during the same period totalled more than $41,250,000, Dr. Phillips said. LOGY, LISTLESS, OUT OF LOVE WITH LIFE?

Horsehurger Popularity Is Growing The horse, largely replaced as a useful by machines, is making something of a comeback through the dining room. Most Canadians would rather ride the equine than eat him, even when beef is so high but a Canadian Press survey uncovered five horse-meat stores in the Do- minion -- all in the west. Vancouver boasts two, one of which opened June 28 to such a wave of customers that six butch- ers were rushed off their feet. Roast and hamburger were the most popular items. \ The Pony Market sells horse in Edmonton. There is another horse- meat market in Calgary and one in Winnipeg. In Montral and Quebec City the sale of horsemeat for human con- sumption is forbidden by city by- laws and it hasn't caught on in Ontario or the Maritimes. Prices range from 48 cents for tenderloin steak in Calgary to 60 cents for the same cut in Winnipeg. Compared to $1.35-1.40 for beef tenderloin this gives some idea of the economic factor involved. The sale of horsemeat across the Dominion is governed in the same way as the sale of any other kind of meat. Horses must be slaughtered in separate slaughter houses. They must be government-inspected be- fore they can be killed and their meat must be sold in separate shops, plainly marked. The only plant in western Can- ada that slaughters the animals for human consumption is at Swift Cur- rent, Sask., where several ranches raise horses for the purpose. .

Her 18-month reformatory term was increased '~» two years in Kingston penitentiary. WHY WASTE TIME HUNTING FOR A GOOD USED CAR SPECIAL FOR YOUR VACATION?
