July 13th proved unfortunate for the Phil Selbys of Stratford whose motor cruiser, "Ocho
Rios" was vandalised and set adrift Sunday night in the Bayfield River, The family left their
cabin cruiser •locked, battened down and fully secured at 10:00 p.m, Sunday night. However,
within earshot of sleeping neighboring boaters, persons unknown were able to smash their
'1/4, way in and put the craft under weigh. Considerable damage was done with tarpaulin covers
torn away, the cabin doOr shattered, and several mooring hawsers burned through, As well,
various items of equipment were found missing, including, flashlight, tape-deck • and
binoculars. The culprits evidently located the key In an inside drawer, and tried the ignition.

the "Ocho Rios" hull, no damage occurred to any craft of the adjacent marina, 0,PP.,

Native Goes to. Attica
Doctor Hobert Mickle, son of
Mrs, Laird Miekle and the late
Ernest Laird Mickle of Hensall
left July 16 for Africa to join
the Canadian Coast Guard
sbil), "Quadra" in Dakar,
Senegal, During his six weeks
stay he will be taking part in
the GAR Atlantic Experiment
generally referred to as GATE,
GARP stands for Global At,
mospheric ' Research
Programme, which is a joint
venture of the World
Meteorological Organization
and the International Council
of Scientific Unions,
The Quadra with her crew of
about 100 will be augmented by
more than 30 scientists and
technicians from across
Canada, and will be playing a
key role as she is stated to be
the best instrumented ship in
the whole fleet because of her
radar equipment, probably the
most powerful rain detecting
radar in the world, capable of
scanning an area of 150 miles
in radius.
This $100 million Expedition
marks the largest international
scientific effort in history. More
than 70 countries are involved
along with 4,000 people, nearly
40 ships and more than a dozen
aircraft and satellites. Canada
is one of 11 nations taking part
in GATE which began in mid
June and continues until late
September. Other participating
countries are Britian, United
States, France, Brazil, East
Germany y Mexico r the
Netherlands and Portugal.
The Quadra, stationed 600
miles southwest of Dakar, will
be one of 36 research vessels
positioned at pre-arranged
stations extending 2,400 miles
across the Atlantic equatorial
belt from Barbados to West
Africa, The information to be
tabulated during the next three
years is expected to help
provide two to three week
weather forecasts far more ac-
curate than anything known to-
day, and it is predicted to have
a consequent saving of billions
of dollars every year. Dr.
Mickle is one of the Canadian
scientists participating from the
Atmospheric Environment Ser-
vices in Toronto.
