(AP)-- The ideal vehicle for exploring the moon, once man has landed, may be a kind of pogo stick making 400-foot hops the craters. Dr. Howard S. Seifert, United Technology Centre scientist, has worked out concepts for such a vehicle. He's serious. Seifert has talked with others in the field and with various government agencies, including the National Space Administra- tion, and says he has found a high degree of interest in the novel idea, The monopod, moon hopper or lunar leaper --you name it-- would consist of a 40-foot hollow pole between two cabins. The cabins--one carrying a pilot and a passenger, the other contain- ing power plant, flight control equipment and a life supporting system -- would ride up and down the pole on a cushion of compress gas. As Seifert envisions it, a moon hop would start with the cabin structure resting near the bot- tom of the pole. Pressure of gas against a piston would force the among) volunteers to watch out for| hooligans. . | At Sandringham, a posse of; fathers has been touring the' beach "to protect our daughters| from louts." Why do these hooligans go to the beaches to cause trouble?

The craft would move for- ward at about 20 miles an hour. Information accumujated thus far indicates mu¢t of the ter- rain would be suifable for hop- per travel, Seifert said. Gyroscopes would keep the cabins level and the pole cor- rectly angled even if the foot skidded while landing on a slop- ing surface. Around the 200-foot high apex of one jump, the pilot would select his landing point, using a computer and bomb-sight type device to pick a suitable bouncing spot. Seifert said power would be supplied by a relatively small gas generator enabling the craft to move forward eight or nine miles on a gallon of standard fuel--"'tremendously better than a rocket in that respect." Once started, the hopper would regain about 80 per cent of its expended energy in each gas - compressing bounce-down. The bounding mode of travel-- with about 10 seconds of each hop being spent above 100 feet --would aid observation and ex- ploration, Seifert believes. This moon hopper could be tested on earth, Seifert said, and colleagues at Stanford have ex- pressed great interest in work- ing out the system. Court Friday to stealing $5,280 worth of scrap copper from an Oshawa construction company. All four were remanded in custody for two weeks so that "pre-sentence reports on their background could be prepared. The youths were: Peter Wil- liam Cooper, 18, of 226 James St.; his brother, Robert D. Cooper, 17, of the same ad- dress; Randy John Howard, 16, of 121 Barrie Ave.; and David Phillip Larocque, 19, of 152 Olive Ave. Two other city youths appear- ed on the docket facing charges involving the same theft. 'Their cases were both remanded until another date, however. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck said that 12,000 pounds of scrap copper had been stolen from a storage yard of the Gascoigne Construction Company on Bruce Street. A raid by city police officers had uncovered 556 pounds of the missing copper at a city scrap yard. The copper, he added, was valued at $5,280 and it had apparently been sold to the scrap metal dealer for a low sum of money. Magistrate Jermyn warned each of the youths that they would have to pay restitution for the missing copper. DISMISSED A charge of impaired driving against Bruce L. Berry, 63, Liberty St. N., Bowmanville, was dismissed after the prose- eution evidence had been heard. D0G TAG FEES Four city dog-owners were each found guilty of failing to pay their 1966 dog tag fees. Joseph Caruana, of 10 La Salle Ct., was fined $5 and costs or three days in jail. Kent Crow- ells, of 10 Rockcliffe St., plead- ed guilty and was fined $20 and costs or five days in jail. Frank Hood, of 299 Banff Ave., also Pleaded guilty and was fined $20 and costs or five days in jail. Last of the four was Don- ald Barrett, of 44 Charles St., who pleaded guilty and was fined $20 and costs or five days. AIR POLLUTION Fittings Ltd., of Oshawa, has been charged with a breach of the city's air pollution bylaw by emitting too much smoke on Nov. 29 last year. The case ap- peared on yesterday's court docket but was remanded until Feb. 10 for hearing. FORGERY Joseph Toma, of 341 Albert uttering a forged document. | |ASSAULT | Two Oshawa youths appeared |for sentence on charges of as- |sault. Frederick G. Laughlin, of 14 Thomas St., was sentenced to three months in jail. James D. Carey, also of Thomas St., was sentenced to six months. Their case was heard at an earlier sitting. UNDER SUSPENSION Larry James Virgin, of RR 4, Galt, pleaded guilty to his third offence of driving while under suspension. He appealed for a light sentence so he would have a chance to find work and prove himself. Magistrate Jermyn put over sentencing for one month to allow him this chance, 30 DAYS John Wilson, of 25 Division St., pleaded not guilty to a charge of receiving stolen prop- erty. He pleaded guilty to a fur- ther charge of minor consum- ing. He was sentenced to 30- day concurrent sentences on both charges. Police evidence was that after a search of his rooms they found a flash-light and a first aid kit, the property of the Bell Telephone Company. Wil- son said he had found both items lying on the ground at the corner of Division and Bond streets. He did not know they were stolen items. He added that he had intended to return them both to the police station. $50 FINE Edwin Mullen, 62, of no fixed address, was fined $50 and costs or 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to a charge of having liquor. IMPAIRED Ronald L. Archibald, of RR 1, Trenton, pleaded not guilty to a charge of drunk driving. After his case had been heard the charge was reduced to one of impaired driving. He was fined $100 and costs or 15 days | in jail. A further charge of hay- ing liquor was withdrawn. SUSPEND SENTENCE Wayne Wilkins, of 438 Austin Ct., Oshawa, appeared for sen- tence on a charge of minor con- suming.

Kindergarten Liquor Runs MOSCOW (AP) --And then there was the kindergarten that gave a banquet featuring Armen- ian cognac, vodka and Turkish coffee. This cost $342 and the menu included, among other delicac- ies, jellied sturgeon, The guests were not children but men from the hydroelectric company in the town, near the Iranian border. The company ran the kindergarten and the staff conveniently made use of some of its funds to have a good time. The case was one of a number of this kind recently exposed by Pravda, the newspaper of the Soviet Communist party. It urged a crackdown on the prac- tice of holding banquets, some- times with hundreds of guests, and falsifying documents to make them look like legitimate expenses, Pravda cited a fishermen's collective in Leningrad that car- ried out "'cultural activities and public services" after a busi- ness meeting.
