How very little that definition means to the majority of us, simplified though it .is. We think of electricity as a *witch or a button, or perhaps a lever, with myriads of odd Little wires leading to it. These wires constitute, of course, the "conductor" but the "electrons" are just another word we may have heard and we are not in- clined to be concerned about its meaning. However, the seemingly ,indis- pensable conveniences which these electrons and their con- ductor have made possible in the form of that mysteriously omnipotent force known as elec- tricity is one of our major con- cerns. In the past it has been our path to progress—domestic, industrial, locomotive, and com- municative. Now the path has broadened as electricity, or rather a spe- cial branch •of it known as elec- tronics, becomes a veritable "highway to progress". By defi- nition, electronics is the flow of electrons through space; in other Words it is essentially electricity without a conductor. Just as its older, yet still youthful brother, electricity, .has given us count- less marvels in the past, so too does electronics promise even greater marvels for the future. Scientists dislike predicting what new developments their studies of electronics may re- veal; if they forecast at all it is along the line of present trends. Yet they cannot refrain from ad- mitting that this generation and , certainly the next, can look for- ward to unprecedented electronic wonders in the realm of trans- portation, industry, domestic life, communications, and ulti- mately, in relation to each of these fields, the harnessing of solar energy to produc, electri- cal power for the benefit of man- kind. Thus with an eye to the future many people ask "what does electricity promise?" Improvement in transport Great strides are imminent in the field of transportation and to exemplify how electrical en- c ergy and electronic guidance can be utilized to propel an vehicle. The day is forseeable when your car may follow a "flare path" of electrical beams trans- mitted by an electronic device !embedded in the 'surface of the highway. Moreover by the ad- aption of a radar mechanism the automobile could be moti- vated without any human guid- ance thereby removing all the risks of modern driving. On the other hand, for those more adventuresome souls who prefer to do their own steering, electronics engineers may soon have a central station, in a city such as Toronto, which will transmit electronic beams to be received by an antenna, much resembling the radio aerial on your present car. Now that the electrons have lept through space to your receiver, they will be conducted by the antenna to the electric motor which propels the !electric just as the internal combustion engine does today. But we must also consider a third brand of citizen who leaves the comfort of his home only when necessary, and then re- luctantly. Electronics will assist him as well for by radar device he will one day be able to take his wife shopping without leav- ing his armchair. Advances in industry Thus we have improved trans- portation. Now we must proceed to the next area destined to ben- efit from this transportation, and from its own future uses of electrical developments. Natural- ly, I refer to industry, the life- blood of a nation, and being such it must be examined in re- gard to its electronic future. Computers o r "electronic brains" have already been uti- lized to some extent for indust- rial purposes but as they are Phone 102 for HARVEY'S TAXI 24-HOUR SERVICE PAST RELIEF FOR RHEUMATIC PAIN it's HERE! the new :FUTU RA myx, !PORTABLE SEE IT TODAY! Only $7.30 A Month (18 Months) The Timesr-,Advocate simplified their usefulness will broaden. Allied with these is automation, which is rapidly in- creasing in its employment, and as an electronic industrial won- der it is indeed marvelous. Coupled with automation are those odd-looking inventions call- ed robots which no longer exist solely in science -fiction but which can actually be manufactured for countless purposes. From factory to home "Out of the factory and into the home" is the path followed by many of our manufactured products and so too must the developments of our electronic future. Even now many supermarkets have "thinking doors" which open when approached. These devices, controlled by photo -cell lamps, could feasibly be in- stalled in any modern home. Such doors would eventually lead into a living room, beauti- fully illuminated without any ap- parent source of light. This will occur because lighting engineers are perfecting a system of elec- tronic lighting by which whole walls may be illuminated, and to your own taste as brightness and colour controlare being probed. Also unique in this living room will be the absence of any source of heat. This too is made pos- sible by electronics as the ceil- ing of the room will consist of one huge radiant heat panel, thereby making furnaces and fireplaces obsolete. TV baby sitters Coupled hand in hand with transportation, and providing the connecting link between home and industry, is the field of com- munications. This area of elec- tronic research has progressed by leaps and bounds in the past and will continue to do so In the future. Typifying past progress we have colour television, soon b become a mass reality. The most recent innovation in this invention is a flat screen TV which hangs on the wall like a picture. Related to this is a monitor TV set which will one day enable you to supervise your children in the nursery while you lounge in another, quieter part of the house. Diverting from sight to sound. we have all enjoyed the benefit of those tiny, transistor -powered, portable radios during the World Merica, klowever ti'e use of those minute .electronic marvels called transistors, will be even more beneficial when applied to conn. pact sound -recording and .micro- filming equipment which will en• able the space -saving central storage of permanent records for reference to by doctors, law- yers, scientists and many other specialists. Need to tap suns energy Thus it can be seen that through the adaptability of elec- trons leaping through space or following a conductor many fields of human endeavor are destined to progress with amaz- ing celerity in this generation and the next. However these ad- vances will indeed tax our electri- cal potential; therefore we must find and we must develop a new source of power if we are to continue to advance. Science has found it—in solar energy, i.e. tapping the .immense energy reserves of the sun and changing them into electrical power. This has been accom- plished by means of solar bat- teries which ensnare the latent energy in the sun's rays and convert it into electrical energy. However it has not been done on a large enough scale to pro- vide sufficient electrical power for industry. When this dream is realized barren yet sunny areas such as the Sahara Desert will become immense industrial centres for they will be virtual electrical power houses. For this reason it is my opinion that this field of obtaining electrical sources by harnessing the sun's energy is one which foreshadows superla- tive progress in the immediate future. Hence withthis culminating idea of solar power, those among us who are possessed of a more active imagination can foresee even greater wonders than I have outlined here. It is obvious that electricity and electronics are our highways of progress. It is unquestionable that they will continue to be our highways to progress but to a far greater and far broader extent than we are now able to realize or comp- rehend. This for you, and for me, is the promise of electricity. pecial church services mark Dashwood Easter Special Easter services were held in both the Evangelical CB Church. and Zion Lutheran Churches. Six intermediate boys joined the church at the Good Friday holy communion service held in the Evangelical UB church, Dou- glas Bendor, Gary Eagleson, Bob Hoffman, Eugene Guenther, Lar- ry Wein and Eric Wolfe. The Easter Sunrise service centred around the theme "The Lighted Cross." The participants were Carole Schade, Lynda Tie - man, Shirley Bender, Helen Ra- der, Mary Jane Hoffman, Donald Weigand, Gary Eagleson, Bob Hoffman, Eugene Guenther, Erie Wolfe, Larry Wein, Douglas Ben- der. Mrs. Ken McCrae was at the organ and Ronald Snell and Stanley hlaist had charge of the service. Two anthems were rendered at the regular Easter service and Wendy Gail, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Beaver, was baptized by Rev. W. F. Krotz. Easter visitors Mr. and.
