Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1966 -- PAGE 4 anitude Terrifvina Of Pollution Problem The problems of water pollution relative to the Great Lakes system are serious. They're close at hand and demand considerable attention. However, it takes the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to put us right on the magnitude of water pollution, and the number of bodies of water of varying sizes endangered by promiscuous dumping of refuse which should be taken care of by sewage disposal methods. Efforts of Minnesota Senator Mondale to tackle water pollution on a national scale meets with the approval of the St. Louis paper which says his "proposal to provide federal grants for pilot projects, to develop means of cleaning up polluted lakes ought to meet with little opposition in Congress." The editorial goes on to say that "Lake Erie has become the dram- atic symbol of lake pollution in the United States, but there are some 100,000 other lakes as. well, many of them polluted." There is no quick, cheap and easy solution for a problem which has been allowed to develop un- molested ever since the white man took over. It is pointed out "that the problems involved are. complex both scientifically and technically and the technology of combatting themis far from perfect. Prelimin- ary studies with federal grants made last year have been started at Green Lake in Seattle, to study the effects of dilution with pure water and at Lake Tahoe to try out the purifying effects of activated carbon. "There is, however, as yet no federal assistance program to cleanse lakes by dredging sludge and harvesting aquatic growth, and only limited assistance is available for preventing pollution due to natural causes." What this means, the newspaper suggests, is that a health hazard which has grown to proportions so vast that it will take billions of dollars and years of work to curb or cure, and every few years of in- attention can add further billions and more years to do the job which must eventually be done. Pollution of water has now reached proportions so vast and far-reaching that preventive meas- ures alone are inadequate. As The Sarnia Observer says, it is a problem which must be tackled on an international scale and will cost as much as a war when it is done, Highway Hospitality In the belief that visitors to Canada or to other provinces dur- ing the centennial year, most of them travelling by road, will form impressions of the nation or the provinces by the way they are treated, the Canadian Highway Safety Council plans to sponsor a nation-wide centennial project calle ed "Hospitality On The Highway". 'Basically designed to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and accidents, the project will urge every motorist to think of himself in the role of host and to treat visiting motorists as guests, thro- ughout 1967. A guest judges a host by his hospitality. Since most centennial visitors, either from outside Cana- She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher & C. PRINCE, General Manager C. J.

Withmore than 30,000,000 visitors expected next year, the Council will try to impress all Canadians with the need for sincere, thoughtful hospitali- tu "We will ask everyone who drives a vehicle in Canada to ex- ercise constant, sincere courtesy and thoughtfulness, to go out of his way to fill his real role as a host to the visiting guests," com- mented P. J. Farmer, the Council's executive director. "Plans are un- der way to try to reach every mo- torist with the urgent need to drive to the best of his abillty, and to see that every other motorist does the same. One inhospitable driver could ruin the impression of Canada or the province taken home by the visitor who, normally would lose no time in spreading the word. Conversely, a good impression, gained through courtesy on the road, could result in far-reaching good will to the nation and the province, Mr. Farmer added, "A wave of hospitable driving would certain- ly have a beneficial effect on the way Canadians drive and reduce the number of highway accidents. Besides, a year of courteous, care- ful motoring would instill safe- driving habits that would carry over for many years." New Flight Pattern Studied By Canadian OTTAWA (CP) ---Canadian scientisis have taken to the air to study flight characteristics for vertical and short takeoff aircraft designs. Key to the airborne studies is a compact, computer-oper- ated flight simulator that can Produce ine characteristics of proposed aircraft designs dur- ing actual flights in' a hell- copter. The simulator, developed by the national aeronautical estab- lishment of the National Re- search Council, has two main functions, said A. D, Wood, head of the establishment's flight research section. "We use it to produce general data on control and stability to guide designers working on new aircraft," he said during a test flight near Uplands Airport. "Then we can use the simu- lator to test the specific designs produced by designers using our original research data." One of the advantages of the new simulator is psychological, Mounted in a pod on the heli- copter's landing gear, the simu- lator not only produces the characteristics of the design model, but iets the pilot see and feel how the model under test reacts during flight. Regular ground simulators record ef: fects on instruments only. TWO CONTROL SYSTEMS A pair of two-man helicopters now fitted with the simulators have separate control systems --one regular system for the control pilot and a second sys- tem for the test pilot, The second system does not directly control the helicopter. The controls operated by the test pilot are diverted to the simulator where their effects are translated into the result that would be obtained if the test. pilot was flying the test model itself If the test model proves un- stable, the helicopter will go Scientists out of control. Then, the control pilot takes over with the regular controls, which override computer operation, Tests of flight characteristics present a complicated problem. There are so many variable factors involved that it is al- most impossible to come up with a clear solution in any ine ~ dividual case While a given set of charac- teristics may prove adequate in normal conditions, they may change drastically in the event of a minor control failure. Aim of the flight research is to find characteristics that not only give excellent results in normal flight but also in the case of minor emergencies. The problem can-be com- pared to an automobile with power steering. If the power steering fails, the driver still can steer the vehicle, although it requires more physical effort. In the aircraft designs, al- Jowance must be made for minor failures in control sys- tems so the pilot can maintain control, The simulator also can be used to acquaint pilots with the flight characteristics of new aircraft before the prototypes are ready for test flights. Test pilots for the Canadair CL-84 tilt-wing, vertical takeoff plane used the simulator set up with the CL-84's design charac- teristics before flying the actual plane. When they made their first test flight they reported the plane handled almost identi- cally to the simulated flight. Vertical takeoff aircraft are coming into increasing use and may prove valuable transporta- tion tools not only in remote areas but also in cities where airport space is becoming lim- ited, The present program is de- Signed to provide the basic design data designers need to turn out new models and later test the models before they are built. Space Research Pays Off In Drugs, Industry, Home By JIM STROTHMAN CAPE KENNEDY, Fila. (AP) The United States' $5,000,000,- 000 annual investment in its space program is proving that, although it may take time, ba- sic research pays off. Renefite already are accruing in medicine, industry, commu- nications and the home. Here are some of the lesser- known dividends quietly being harvested: MEDICINE Tiny devices derived from space medicine, which measure accurately the temperature of frozen tissue, have been incor- porated in surgery-by-freezing techniques on the brain and eye. The devices, called ther- mocouples, are contributing to the development of freezing. style surgery for treating Par- kinson's disease, brain and pi- tuitary-gland tumors, detached retinas and removing tonsils. Precision - control systems used on space vehicles for op- erating lightweight plastic pumps have been beneficial in developing artificial hearts. HOME Filament-winding techniques used in. space suits have de- veloped better brassiere sup- ports. Space suit technology has also suggesied better lining methods when making clothing. A heat-resistant motor built for spacecraft use, which moves when current is applied and freezes in position when the cur- rent stops, may be applied to position television antennas, A tape recorder developed for space use could monitor home telephones during vacations. INDUSTRY Space suits created for astro- nauts are being tested for use in firefighting and in industries where toxic gases and extreme tempreatures could be hazard- ous to workmen, Huge turtle-like land vehicles built to haul the Saturn V moon rocket to the launch pad at Cape Kennedy required devel- opment techniques that may lead to bigger. earthmoving equipment than ever. before known. Space research in generatine electric power from nuclear en- ergy eventually will lead to more efficient, less expensive commercial power plants, COMMUNICATIONS Satellites are revolutionizing the communications industry, permitting live TV programs from Europe and opening up more reliable commercial and military telephone links around the world. Satellite communications -- teamed with better computer systems--can speed the appre- hension of criminals such as George LeMay's capture in Florida earlier this year. Automatic repeating tape re- corders built for the space pro- gram are being used in auto- matic weather broadcasting, museum and public information displays. NATURAL RESOURCES Maps of the earth have been corrected by satellites. One mountain range, positioned by ground expeditions, was found not to exist. Devices on nimbus weather satellites will be able to deter- mine the temperature of 'ocean surfaces, telling fishermen where the fish are most likely to be.

Nearly every home had a domestic servant, In nearby Cobalt there were three theatres, a grand opera house, and two weekly newspapers. The development began in 1903 when Fred La- Rose, a blacksmith, threw a hammer at what he thought were the gleaming eyes of a fox and uncovered a vein of silver.

Wing Cmdr. Rob- ert Leckie, head of civil op- erations, flew from Halifax to Winnipeg, arriving Oct. 11, where Air Commodore A. K..Tylee, CAF com- mander, took over and flew to Vancouver with a series of three pilots, arriving Oct. 17. The total elapsed time was 45 hours 20 minutes for 3,410 miles, as opposed to the railway's 132 hours. The expedition took place in six aircraft; by 13 stages in- stead of four, owing to un- expected delays. Radar improv t ded to track space ships are help- ing commercial air-traffic con- trol.

He ran second to T. D, By Jack Gearin Swing Into Action The campaign is pretty much will likely be in 1967. But some political parties, sensitive to the new division of ridings, are starting to get their houses in order. Progressive - Conservatives in the newly - created Provincial riding of Ontario South are a good example. They will meet Oct. 18 for two purposes -- to hold their first official get-together as a riding association and to pick a candidate for the next provin- cial election. William "Bill" Newman, the Pickering Township farmer, appears to be the overwhelm- ing favorite for this important -- post. The Tories couldn't pick a more promising standard- bearer. Newman, a tall and personable fellow with a folksy manner that makes friends, has some impressive creden- tials as a vote-gatherer out on the hustings. He ran well in the June 11, 1959, Provincial elec- tion in the former Oshawa rid- ing when he was practically un- "Tommy" Tiomas, NDP -- 10,243 votes to 8,643. Liberal George K. Drynan was third with 5,513. The recently - organized PC association in the City of Osh- awa (with Ruth Bestwick re- elected as president) will get down to serious business at its meeting in the Hotel Genosha Oct. 26. Five delegates will be elected for the forthcoming an- nual convention of the Provin- cial party in Toronto. The special speaker will be Albert V. Walker, MPP, Oshawa rid- ing, who will tell of his recent trip to Russia and other Iron Curtain countries. "Aue rt S. Hyman, vice- pre nt of the Oshawa riding NDP association, says the party will be holding more public meetings in 1966-67 than before. The NDP's have not picked a riding candidate, but there has been much activity in their ranks at the executive level. The Ontario Riding (Federal) Progressive ~ Conservative As- sociation has a long history, but this will be terminated at an historic meeting in the Can- adian Legion Hall, Whitby, Fri- day, Oct. 14. All business of the group is scheduled to be finalized that night so the way will be clear for formation of the new Fed- eral riding associations --On- tario riding (Federal) will em- brace the City of Oshawa, the town of Whitby and the areas between them under the new re-division, It covered most of Ontario County under the old set-up. The Tories have held a firm grip on Ontario riding Federal since the early 1950's, thanks to incumbent Michael Starr, the former mayor of Oshawa who has yet to taste defeat at the Federal polls. The official voters list for Oshawa's upcoming municipal election will be ready next Thursday, Oct. 6 with 41,788 oames, an all-time high. in the doldrums otherwise, but things should start to perk up in a few days. It is pretty certain now that there will be at least three civic forums -- details and name of the third will not: be known for at least a week. The Jaycees will hold theirs and the Oshawa and District Labor Council is also expected to follow suit. The Kinsmen have moved the date of their forum up to Dec. 1. As a point of interest, Deputy City Clerk, C. W. Lundy. said this week that the new election lists will show that the south- east area, known as Ward Four, will have the largest number of eligible voters -- 11,173, So there's a tip for con- testants whose campaign time is drastically limited.

But through the forward-look- ing O'Neill has won his day, there's still a hint of unrest and the prospect that in Northern Ireland, at least, change won't come easy. There apparently remains some suspicion about O'Neill's quiet efforts to increase co-op- eration with that other forward- looking leader, Prime Minister Séan Lemass of the irish Re- public. And there is gnawing fear that the six northern count- ies somehow may be torn from the motherstrings of Britain. Perhaps for- this reason O'Neill found it necessary to state publicly~after his Union- ist party gave him a vote of confidence--that his party is rededicated to Ulster prosper- ity "as an integral part of the United Kingdom." z LOYALTY PLEDGED Undoubtedly he has pledged to his party that, come what may, there will be no break- away from the Crown and Whitehall. That of course con- trasts sharply with Lemass's visions of greater co-operation with Northern Ireland and, fi- nally, the day when a federa- tion could be formed. When Lemass and O'Neill met for the first time last year, there was a feeling in the air that old wounds soon would be forgotten in favor of the phrase "let's remember we're all Irishmen." Hope was. stirred that unprecedented cross-border co-operation might even bring the staunch southern republi- cans into closer alliance with London.

The north is pre- dominantly Protestant, the south strongly Roman Catholic. And when politics and religion mix, they make a heady brew. Extremists of all shades and varieties exist on both sides. Irishmen on both sides face economic difficulties, more so in the north since that country must conform with the eco- nomic rigidities of the British government. The lack of economic opportu- nity can only add to impatience and unrest, NIGHTLY sa el mea rae ea a "QUEEN'S PARK Spring Vote Considered For Ontario _ DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A piece of high intrione fe heine talked a ¢h2c= days, particularly in Ottawa po- via the fal abalyals tho tas a the terminds in Ottawa grrr | Premier Robarts for na' Conservative leader have de- cided Ontario should have a genera] election next spring. Mr. Robarts, they assume, would emerge triumphantly and would then arrive at a national leadership contest in August as a conquering hero, Some plan! ! ! And you can't dismiss it, Events could work out that way, but there are some obsta- cles. One is the awkwardness of a spring provincial election. It would be necessary to call it mid-way in a regular session of the house. And it would also interfere with centennial cele- brations. REASON WITH PUBLIC To keep face with the public, Mr. Robarts would require a reasonable excuse -- an impor- tant issue. Then the thinking would as- sume the opposition is going to fall over and drop dead, parti- cularly the Liberals. Despite its present popularity, Mr. Robarts can't take an elec- tion for granted (remember Quebec?). And in view of his strong po- sition now, the loss of a few séats might adversely affect Mr. Robarts' prestige at a con- vention. To the writer, however, the most fascinating part of this is just who is concocting appeals for a provincial election. There doesn't seem to be any doubt there is a group, a power- ful group, trying to steer Mr. Robarts into national office. In fact they seem to have started their grand strategy even before the premier first ran for the Ontario leadership. His' campaign then was very much of a planned effort. And personally Mr. Robarts had never shown any ardent politi- cal ambition. But who are these men? They don't surface. They stay in the background and plan things -- such as elections for the prov- ince, They are an intriguing myst ery. eh ce -- <- > YEARS AGU 20 YEARS AGO October 4, 1946 C.K.D.0.
