The other is the Dr, C, F, Cannon School. 497 SIGN PETITION J, H.

The parents were told the board is in favor of auditoriums, but does not have the money. "It is the taxpayer we have to answer," said vice-chairman Mrs, Margaret Shaw. "We would like to have play- rooms if we can afford it." | The parents wanted to know why an auditorium was added to the recently completed Hills- dale School, which is much smaller in size, Trustee Harold B. Armstrong) said he had had nothing to do with that himself, that a trustee who is mot on the board now had been pushing for that, He termed it an "experiment"', COULD BE FINANCED Another of the parents, Mor-| timer Brown, said that the capi- tal expenditure for this year is lower than the average and that an auditorium could be financed this year, Trustee Stanley E.

The 70 Hamilton em- ployees of Coca-Cola went on Strike last Dec. 5 after a conciliation board failed to bring about agreement be- tween the firm and the union. | Squires Visit Zoology Building row Circle, No. 672, Columbian Squires Division) visited the zoology building at) the University of Toronto. An open house was sponsored by the zoology department along }with the students. The Squires found the exhibits jmost interesting and _informa- tive, especially '""The Chemistry and Structure of the Cell" and) |The Structure and Function of |the Tissues in the Body". Because of the large crowd in attendance the Squires did not get to see all the exhibits but one thing for sure the Squires) left with an expanded knowledge! of some of the achievements) and problems of biology and certainly zoology. | Squires are holding a dance for) couples only at the Knights of| Columbus Hall, 184 Bond street| west.

NUCLEAR ENERGY He stated that we have enough nuclear energy to dry the oceans, soak the deserts, take the world and remake it, or end it. In 1960, it was estimated that the U.S. had a stockpile of the equivalent of 30 billion tons of TNT. The USSR is estimated to have a similar amount, re- sulting in a probable total of 25 tons of TNT for every human being on the face of the earth Mr. Pennington outlined the destructive capacity of the de- terrent force, dealing in detail) with the strength of nuciear| weapons possessed by NORAD and SAC. , "NORAD's 2500 interceptor planes have such an elaborate) communications system that the phone bill is $9 million a month STRENGTH COMPARED A comparison of SAC strength with probable Russian strength indicates that the U.S. has con- siderable superiority in every field. The degree of damage ex- perienced.in a thermo-nuclear war, said Mr. Pennington, is on the concept of self-control Military strategists have esti- mated that if the USSR attacked U.S. bases, 30 million Ameri- cans might die. "They call this nevertheless in favor of some arms control. Unitarians have a duty, said| Mr, Pennington, to inform them-| selves about the problem.
