The Vancouver machine {is still one-of-a-kind. Developed by the transport department in co-operation with a Vernon, B.C., company, the bogmobile is equipped to handle almost any emergency. It car- ries loud hailers, radio, radar, |life preservers, some firefight- ing equipment and a winch ca- pable of lifting light aircraft. The machine in its present |form isn't really meant for fire- |fighting, but a properly 'equipped trailer may be built. | Its main purpose is to save jlives by getting people away from a crash scene in the short- est possible time. The flat 16-by-11-foot deck of the tractor - cum - lifeboat can carry 20 persons as well as two rubber boats each capable of holding 25. At a crash scene, the bogmo- bile would take aboard as many survivors as possible, then the two rubber boats would be in- flated and would hold the re- maining survivors until the res- cue crew could return for them. Project head Art McFayden jof the transport department | Says he is still cautious when |making claims for the bogmo- | bile and still wants to test it |and make more modifications. But he says he's pretty well convinced. The vehicle was christened by taking it to the 15 square miles of marshland surrounding the airport and putting it through its paces. "Somehow," says Mr. Mc- Fayden, "'it didn't seem appro- priate to christen it with cham- pagne."' Powered by a 190-horsepower diesel engine, the craft con- sists of the flat deck sur- mounted by an operator's cabin which houses all communica- tions equipment.

TORONTO (CP)--Edward Teller, 'the father of the H- bomb," was not particularly impressed when Communist China detonated its first hy- drogen bomb in June "When the Chinese show real advance in lasers, that will impress me,"' he told a Toronto press conference in his thick Hungarian accent. Dr. Teller gave up nuclear physics some time ago to work on jaser development at the Livermore Laboratory of the University of California. He was only one of several renowned scientists in To- ronto for a combined conven- tion of the research physi- cists' associations of Canada, the United States and Mexico. His own study group on las- ers, for example, was led by Dr. C. H: Townes, who won a Nobel Prize for inventing the machine's principle A laser generates a beam of "tuned light." Light and all other forms of electromag- netic radiation are beams of photons, vibrating at differ- ent frequencies--which can be separated out by a prism into the spectrum of rainbow colors. Laser light is "coher- ent' in that it is generated only at one frequency, like a single radio station Unlike radio, however, the laser's energy is concentrated into a pencil-thin beam of light and heat. It could be fo- cused well enough to boil a coffee pot at a range of 1,000 miles. It has been used to "weld" detached eye retinas because its heat is so great the work is finished before surrounding healthy tissue can be burned Because Dr. Teller is per- haps the most famous U.S. military scientist, he is used to being asked about the las- er's uses as a death-ray. He says military uses are few and insignificant and. lasers are probably most valuable as transmitters and as re- search tools in science A laser beam has already been tested as a television transmission line carrying six channels simultaneously. It can do this because the speed of its vibrations is so high--a million million times a second already, and pulses 100 times faster may be possible, Dr. Townes said. The main advantage of the laser beam as a transmission line is thaf it goes only where it is pointed, whereas radio waves ad out in all direc- tions the transmitter. t his great-uncle, Phillip Sellick, | who left his blacksmith's job in ago and spent the next half cen-| There now are so many radio wick woods. Nuclear Physicist Discounts China Hydrogen B omb broadcasts that they interfere with each other, so lasers have been tested as the com- munications link with artifi- cial satellites. Because their frequency is so high, lasers can carry much-condensed -- signals--for example, a whole year's tele- vision programming could theoretically be transmitted in one second. This might have military uses, because enormous quan- tities of information could be moved before an enemy had time to react. Such a trans- mission would be almost im- possible to detect, let alone block, because it would not be broadcast into the blue but di- rected from one pinpoint to anuther, probably by way of a satellite. Although Dr. Townes's dis- covery was made in 1953 and the first true laser built only in 1960, there now are several hundred in Canadian labora- tories. At least one Canadian firm now is marketing its own design of classroom dem- onstration models, said Dr. Boris Stoicheff.of the Univer- sity of Toronto Scientists such as Dr. Ar- thur L. Schawlow, a Toronto graduate teaching at Stanford University in California, use lasers as research tools in physics, for example to va- porize metals for spectro- graphic analysis, which leads on into other fields such as astronomy, because far-away stars can be analysed only by their radio and optical radia- tions. Dr. Townes suggested one likely use for lasers in the home is instead of a TV tube. A laser beam is much the same as the stream of elec- trons that puts the picture on a TV tube. The difference is that the laser doesn't have to be enclosed in a heavy, glass vacuum tube. The picture could be projected on the wall or on a home movie screen Appreciation Should Be Taught In School By ANN HELLMUTH DARTMOUTH, N.S. (CP)-- School teacher Lester Sellick says he's worried because chil-| dren aren't being taught to ap-| preciate nature. "They should be taught an} appreciation of nature while they're in school,' says the 53- year-old Dartmouth teacher. "With increased urbanization and specialization there has been a decline in appreciating | of things of the natural world."| Mr. Sellick says students | study nature only for scientific, commercial and industrial pur- poses. "Something has been lost--the love of nature for its own sake; | the physical, mental and spir-| itual benefits the natural world bestows upon man." He's not proposing "highly | jentific study" in schools. "Children should be encouraged to collect plants, study trees and birds and just enjoy the outdoor life for all its beauties." In line with his own views, Mr. Sellick has just published a book, Tell Me, Wanderer, about Prince Edward Island 100 years Of Nature | "He lived. very simply--not just in the woods but off the iF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT LIFE INSURANCE Why Not Call TOM FARQUHARSON SUN LIFE Assurance Company Of Canada RESIDENCE: BUSINESS: 668-4371 725-4563 ury living in the New 7 APPLICATIONS FROM ...
