The shop will open at 8:30 am. daily -and dlose at six on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sat­ urday. On Thursday and Fri­ day evenings closing time is ex­ tended to 9 o’clock. 1 Mr. Diefenbaker thought new trial would be more appro­ priate. He felt the reference to the Supreme Court of Canada will practically deny any con­ sideration of the question whe­ ther or .not there has been a miscarriage of justice, Solicitor General Pennell gave solemn assurance “that after long and ’anxious consid­ eration we deemed that the re­ ference in this form would be the best way to deal with the question.” No indication has been given when the Supreme Court will hear the application. Officers of . the solicitor-general’s de­ partment suggested the time will -likely be in the hands of the lawyer acting for the Trus­ cotts and for the Crown. - * E.

I suppose it was .my recent'"column on the Bedford Institute of Ocean­ ography that .triggered a mem­ ory of my visit to the Undersea Garden in Victoria, B.C. It was a Highlight of one of ,my annual safaris- by train across Canada. Though it could not eclipse the. beauty of a daytime trip aboard the CN’s sceneramic car through the majestic Canadian mountains from Jasper to the coast, it had its own particular appeal. . Aquariums are usually associ­ ated with tanks of fish and marine life where people watch the captives of the ocean in un­ natural confinement. Engineer Charles: White has reversed this principle. In his underwater garden, the world’s first, the fish watch people. Quarles White was running a marine character service when the inspiration to create an underwater aquarium, first appealed to him as a tourist attraction. At a cost of some $200,000 he built a 20 by 100 foot hollow concrete and steel floating chamber with large glass viewing ports set 10 feet below the surface of the water. When it was completed he an­ chored it in Oak Ba# at the Southern end of -Vancouver Is­ land. Here the Pacific is usually clear and protected from, winds and high seas. Next (he built a sloping shelf eight feet wide all around the edge of his -underwater tank. This was fenced in vertically and spread with sand to simu­ late the ocean’s bottom and create an underWater garden where groupings , of tree-like seaweeds and vivid flowerlike sea animals flourish. Next he hired skin divers to collect the more active sea specimens such as sturgeon, red snappers, a giant octopus (which regularly Steals the show) rockfish, rat­ fish, etc. Add to these 'finny specimens the smaller local in­ habitants, who regularly wiggle through the fence confining the larger denizens- of the deep, and you have1 a continuous; show that is a delight to' both adults and children alike.
