ee pe B4A THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, April 19, 1966 Town Derived Name From English Centre Speaking of Whitby, Ontario-- did you know that it is named after Whitby, England, which has a glorious historical past? The Saxon name was Strea- | naes-hatch. The Danes destroy- ed the English community dur- ing their 9th. century invasion, | but it was later refounded and | became the centre of a Danish colony when it was renamed Whitby. It was later laid waste by William the Conqueror. ed him by name, saying:-"'Sing Caedmon, some song to me," He answered: "I cannot sing, for that reason left I the feast and came hither." The person answered: "Sing of the Creation." Then beauti- ful verses came to him and he sang the praise of God. When Caedmon awoke, he remember- ed what he had seemed to sing in his dream. He went to his | master and told him what had The name is a contraction of | happened.

I was in this abbey, soon) after its founding, that the cow- | herd "'Caedmon"' saw a vision and was inspired to write a poem, which has survived. Saint | Caedmon was the father of| English poetry. In those days, the poor were fond of: making rhymes and) singing .them at their feasts, but Caedmon had no idea of | rhyming and could not sing. When his turn came at a feast, he saw the harp come! close to him -- then he rose from the table and went home. He than went to the stable to look after the cattle, but fell asleep. In a dream, he thought monk. He wrote of the creation and of the Israelites. Wild and strang does it seem now, but his poetry had beauty and Saint Caedmon may be truly called the '"'Father of English Poetry." So Whitby was the home of Hilda and Caedmon, the nurs- ery of northern Christianity and the birthplace of English song. Oswin of Northumbia, in ful-|- filment of a vow to build a mon- | astery if he crushed the pagan, Penda, founded Whitby Abbey in 657.

Pay-TV Hits The Skids But Not The 2- Hour Movie By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- The two-hour feature for television has replaced pay-TV as Holly- wood's pie-in-the-sky. For 15 years, the cry has been: "Wait until pay-televi- sion; then this town will really boom!" The theory had been that then first-run movies could be paid for and seen in the home, the Hollywood product would be im greater demand than ever before. But pay-TV remains only a glimmering hope after years of experimentation, Now the stu- dios are scouting another, more immediate prospect of future prosperity: The movie feature made expressly for television. For 1966-67, the three net- works have scheduled prime- time movies on five nights-- Tuesday and Saturday for NBC, Thursday and Friday for CBS, and Sunday for ABC. All three are scrambling for products. 'Within two or three years, the supply of feature movies should become critical," Grant Peiner; now--head..of.. NRC. nro- gramming, remarked recently. "It behooves us to start making plans to replenish that supphy."' All three networks have en- tered into deals to provide new features for television. CBS recently announced a contract with Warner Brothers for six two-hour films which would be released in theatres first, then on the network. CBS was also reported in negotia- tions for features by producers Ivan Tors and William Castle. ABC concluded a deal with MGM for six features, which may or may not be released in theatres first. One now is being filmed: 32 Miles to Terror with Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain. NBC is the pioneer in the field of new features for television, having contracted with Univer- gal for such films during the last two years. The network re- ported that ratings suffered no drop when new features were played, rather than the more publicized old ones. Universal expects to make a dozen two-hour shows for tele- vision this year, most of them for NBC. Recently the studio had three of them shooting at . once: Dragnet--1966 with Jack Webb and Harry Morgan; How I spent my Summer Vacation with Robert Wagner, Peter Lawford, Walter Pidgeon, Jill St. John, Lola Albright and Mi- chael Ansara; The Doomsday Flight with Jack Lord, Van Johnson and John Saxon. Studios generally reserve the right to release the films in the- atres first, in case they turn out promisingly. That happened with The Plainsman, which Uni- versal made for CBS with Don Murray and Guy Stockwell. Ad- ditional revenue comes from the release of the films in foreign theatres. All this bodes well for an in- dustry that once feared televi- sion would destroy it. Now it appears television may supply Sheer majestic beauty in architectural design of an earlier age is depicted in this photo of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church. Ab though the building is sound and structurally able te stand for many more years, the congregation has ex- panded so much that a new ST. ANDREW'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH building is long overdue. A new church will be con- structed on a Cochrane st. site in the near future. Oshawa Times Phote LOS ANGELES (AP) -- When ancient Egyptians mum- mified their pharoahs_ thou- sands of years ago, they did so in the belief that the dead would be reincarnated at some future time. That time, says a university zoologist, is no more than a century or two away. But the process will be recon- stitution instead of reincarna- ction, Prof. Elof Carlson told a group of fellow scientists Mon- day. The actual dead will not be brought back to life, but in their place will be grown phys- ical copies of men and women who once lived, he said. The copies will have all of the movie imdustry a means of survival. the genius possessed by their Dead Won't Come Back Professor Assures All predecessors, except for their | memories and emotions. COPY GENETIC CODES Carlson, a zoologist at the University of California at Los Angeles, said the process will be routine within a century or two because of the study of genetic codes, or gene patterns. These codes, or patterns, pre- served in the dried tissue of mummified bodies, could be copied and placed in fertilized egg cells. "For example, once the gene- tic code of a great genius is determined, hundreds of thou- sands of his duplicates can be created for the world's bene- fit," Dr. Carlson said. "If Mo zart's body had been mummi- fied, thousands of Mozarts could be reconstituted. "As an example, we certainly will be able to reconstruct King Tutankhamen from his Egyp- tian mummy." Carlson said he is confident nucleic acid crystals necessary to identify the mummy's gene- tic code will be found. He noted that other proteins discovered in such tissue have made it pos sible for scientists te type the | blood of Egyptians who have been dead for tens of centuries.

Far from being angry, the police offered to train the dog. "His determined defence of his master makes him a nat- ural choice. for police work," said a spokesman.
