" 16 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, November 6, 1958 FISSION FOR THE MASSES Swindletron Cracks Atoms By RENNIE TAYLOR Associated Press Science Reporter BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- A poor man's atom-smasher, called a swindletron because it seems to t something for nothing, is being uilt at University of California. This rélatively small inst t will produce a beam of atomic particles bearing charges of 1,000,- 000 volts each, even though it uses only a 500,000-volt power source. It is intended to do work now done by larger and more expen- sive apparatus. A full-sized 4,000,000-volt swind- letron can be built for $10,000 to $50,000 while the other machines of that calibre cost $100,000 to $200,000, said Dr. John R. Wood- yard. The 1,000,000-volt pilot model is being built under his super- vision. The pilot model consists mainly of a tube six feet long with a few gadgets surrounding it. It uses hydrogen' atoms for am- munition. A hydrogen atom is com-- posed of a positively-charged nu- cleus, called a proton, and a single negatively-charged electron. This makes the normal -~tom electric- ally neutral. NEGATIVELY CHARGED with heat, The resulting positively- charged proton is started through the tube with a modest 3,000-volt jolt of electricity. First the proton passes through a thin sheet of aluminum, from which it picks up two negative electrons and thus becomes nega- t. 2ly charged. Further down the tube is a se- cond sheet of aluminum bearing a 500,000-volf positive charge. The negative particle is attracted to. this positive surface with a 500,000- volt burst of speed. As it goes through the second Aluminum sheet it is robbed of its two electrons and becomes positive again. Because the second alum- inum sheet and the particle now are both positive, the particle is repelled. Already travelling at a 500,000-volt clip, it picks up another 500,000 volts of energy because of the repulsion. Then it bangs into a target at the tube outlet with a total energy of around 1,000,000 volts. Technically called a charge-ex- change accelerator, the new gadget already has shown its builders some new things about electrjcal circuits and has pointed the way 3 toward new uses for plastics in At the starting end of the tube |electrical insulation, Dr. Woodyard the electron is burned off the atom | sai | said. TURN DOWN PUBS TORONTO (CP)--Residents of North Grimsby township, south of Hamilton, Wednesday voted down liquor licences, the Ontario Tem- perance Feder ation announced here. Dining room licences were voted down 502 to 423 and dining lounge licences were defeated 515 to SALLY'S SALLIES CATTLE SALE POOR STRATHROY (CP)--Prices were generally low here at the Lambton- Middlesex-Oxford shorthorn sale Thursday. W. P. MacDonald of Petrolia, secretary of the Tri- County Shorthorn Club, said the animals sold for $100 less than what they were worth. Thirty- three lots were sold for a total of $8,375, an average of $254. . | PERSONALS | neighbors gathered at the home | anne Derkatch, daughter of Mr. COURTICE Dr. McTavish Is Speaker At Courtice MRS. C. W. THOMPSON Correspondent COURTICE Thankoffering service at Courtice United Church was well attended. Rev. Dr. R. L. McTavish of Westmount .United Church, Oshawa, was the guest preacher who gave an inspiring message on "Give Thanks". Spe- cial music by the choir under the direction of Frank Walter and Miss Leah Garrow, soloist, of Osh- awa, added greatly to the service. Sunday offering in aid of our new church amounted to about $350. SUPPER SUCCESS. A large crowd attended the hot turkey supper at Courtice United Church on Wednesday evening. The event was a decided success. The ladies began serving. just before 4 o'clock and continued un- til all were served and the com- mittee in charge would like to thank all for the wonderful co-op- eration which made the supper so successful. Te amount clear, to be added to our building fund, was over 77. Sunday School, held at the usual hour of 11 a.m., was again well attended and do hope the attend- ance will continue to increase. Plans have been made for the laying of the "corner stone' of Courtice United Church on Satur- day, November 14, at 2 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Sim Penfound, Mark and Tod, also Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Penfound spent the week- end at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Clarke, Brantford, to bid farewell to Bill Clarke. Mrs. Clarke and family prior to their depar- ture for Los Angeles, California. Miss Phyllis Adams attended a wedding in Toronto on Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. N. Winnacott of Oshawa spent the dinner hour Sun- day with Mr. and Mrs. H. Scorgie and : family. Mrs. Clarence Penfound called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Penfound, Whitby, on Monday. MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER On Friday evening friends and of Mrs. T. Gladman to present Di- and Mrs. Wm. Horban, whose marriage takes place in Albert Street United Church on Satur- 'day, November 7, with a miscel- laneous shower and congratula- tions.

Western oils began to slide un- til forced selling, mainly from marginal accounts, took hold and plunged prices to their depths of about a month ago. . The Calgary stock exchange, which has faithfully registered the changing fortunes of the oil indus- try for almost 40 years, has entered the doldrums. RESTORATIVE POWER Its members contend that a de- cision by the Alberta givernment on the export of natural gas might end the situation. But some say that the long delay and uncertainty surrounding the problem has rob- bed any decision of the restorative power it might have had a year ago. First hit in the western decline were the fringe organizations. A cut in exploration that resulted from the slump placed oil-well supply companies, drilling contractors and geophysical firms at a greater dis- Oil, Gas Slump Hurts Companies advantage than the exploration and production firms themselves. At least three geophysical com- panies have closed so far, and four small independent drilling con- tractors have become bankrupt. With the exception of a few larger firms, all operators of rigs for contract drilling have felt, in varying degrees, the cut in drill- ing operations. Last year, a number of .small operators began buying equipment on time, thus causing a surplus of rigs. When the sledding became tough this spring, they began cut- ting prices, and soon competition was too keen for some of the smal- ler firms. INCREASINGLY RARE Larger drillers escaped this by purchasing Crown reserves from the provincial government and drilling them with their own idle rigs. But this required working capital--a commodity 'which was becoming increasingly rare in all branches of the industry. On Sept. 29 this* year 150 geo- physical parties were operating in the West compared with 183 on the same date last year. On Oct. 15 203 drilling rigs were operating, compared with 240 on the same date of 1952. How Canada Looks to Reds MOSCOW (Reuters)--The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, in a 16-page section of Canada, says the rights of Canadian citizens are 'grossly broken by police repression direc- ted mainly against workers and progressives." The latest volume of the ency- clopedia, 19th of a 60-volume ser- ies, contains this description: "Included in the British Empire, Canada is in fact in considerably greater dependence on the monop- olists of the United States. The system of government reproduces the most reactionary features of the state order of the United States and England.
