(CP)--If the interests of Bill and Matt Cowan are any indication, hob- bies are keeping pace with the rocket age. | Bill, 12, and Matt, 11, spent) their leisure hours ennipartic! the advantages of using liquid) fuel (benzine and alcohol) and solid fuel (gunpowder and al- cohol). They had intended to use one or the other of the fuels to power a rocket designed by Matt. He had designed the rocket casing of tin cans and figured on fitting it with a radio receiver and a parachute. The idea of launching the projectile was vetoed, however, when the boys approached their father, Dr. J. A. Cowan, chair- man of the physics department at the University of Waterloo. He ruled the fuels were too dangerous and sent the lads back to their chemistry labora- tory for simpler experiments. Bill, using an old Grade 12 text, began testing the effects of various chemicals on the growth rate of snails. Matt They have since dismantled it. the elementary principles | smaller Ken Smith, a Grade 8 enrich-| ment pupil, is building his own wind tunnel to test air friction on auto bodies. | Classmate Eric Soulis, whose} father George Soulis is assistant! professor of mechanical engin- eering at Waterloo, has built an electrically powered two - ing mechanism. High school students Bob Kaf- man and Dave Croal got to- gether last fall to build a 614-|¢ foot robot that moved its arms, spoke with two voices (by means of recordings) and lit up. Ronald Schaeffer, a Grade 8 student, has mastered most of!) of electronics and has built a radio receiver and a multi-meter for'| measuring voltage, amperes| and resistance. He also repairs radios as a hobby and hopes soon to get into the field of radio! astronomy. car|§ elevator with automatic revers-|§ L called a "Star Magnolia'. --CP Wirephoto EARLY TAX The property tax in England in 1803 was five per cent on all| with in- over £150, rates neomes on lower ; a publisher. f|nothing about India," Mirvish aisays.

NEW YORK (CP) -- If you want to write, says Robert F.

Since then he has crossed and recrossed the seven seas, suffering chilblains in the Arc- tic and sweating in the heat of the Persian Gulf and the Car- ibbean. He watched the Italian fleet surrender at Malta, dodged tor- pedoes in the Atlantic and rubbed shoulders with Russian peasants. And he produced 12 novels, several of which have been translated into other languages. Most of his writing has been done in off-duty hours at sea. His latest work will be pub- lished here this fall by William Sloan Associates.

"If there's another invasion everyone will join," she says emphatically. She's more sure now than she was a year ago when she told the press she felt the invasion then under way would succeed. At that time Miss Casuso was something of a newsworthy fig- ure herself. Not too long before she had washed her hands of!
