This clock, without a face, hands or mainspring, is buried deep in a vault, It is a mass of slowly revolving wheels kept dustproof under a glass case, and it ticks away the seconds by what the scientists call "star time." Every clear night an observer records the "true" time from the stars through a telescope and checks it against the siderail clock. However, if the master clock is running either fast or slow they don't change it because it never is out more than a tenth of a second each way, they just subtract or add the necessary fraction to the clock reading, This synhcronome siderail clock is buried in the humidity and temper- ature-controlled vault beneath the ob- servatory. It sends out an endless stream of second, minute and hour signals which synchronize hundreds of government clocks in Ottawa, start , trains on schedule, provide the scien- tists and the laymen with the time of day and .are broadcast to .the North Pole as far south as South America. This is the master clock that pro- vides the electrical impulses for time signals heard daily over the CBC and for three stations operated by the Transport Department Which broad- cast time pulses 24 hours a day Par scientific missions, survey parties and others who need accurate time, a A; SOUND OF STARS CONFIRMS BIBLE Agnostics and sceptics of the divine inspiration of the bible are always be- ing confounded by the scientists. The naked eye can only see a few thousand stars, proof to sceptics that the bible was wrong' when it spoke of them be- ing' beyond numbering, but science in- vented telescopes which already have proven that there are billions of stars yin the universe. Bible sceptics also :scuff at the references in Holy Writ to ;singing stars and the whole creation !groaning, etc. Now science once again backs up the bible and gives another proof that the scriptures must have been divinely inspired. Radar devices developed during the re ar have uncovered a new world of sound coming-from all around the cos- mos, and have provided the first scien- tific evidence of the existence of some- thing along the lines of "the music of the spheres," postulated by Pythagoras more than 2,500 years ago and ment- ioned several times in the bible. This 'radar apparatus and techniques have brought to light for the first time a vast range of radio frequencies gener- ated all over the cosmos by the sun, the Milky Way and other galaxies, as well as front spaces where the most. powerful telescopes have so far failed to locate any stellar bodies. The birth of this new science called radioastronom'Y is an offspring of a union of radio engineering and astro- physics. Astronomers, physicists, el- ectrical engineers and pioneers in rad- io communication met recently at Cornell University in the first confer- ence of its kind to discuss the new techniques for "tuning in on the uni- verse." Mysterious noises coming from the direction of the Milky Way were first observed inure than 15 years ago, but it is only lately that perfected de- vices have made it possible to listen to the "song of the cosmos." The bible says "SING, 0 YE HEAVENS , PRAISE YE HIM, SUN, AND MOON, PRAISE HIM ALL YE) STARS OF LIGHT, and THE WHOLE CREATION GROAN- ETIL" Now science confirms those 'facts.

The station was united with St, Helens. The few families in Kinloss determin- ed to erect a place of worship, and on account of their zeal, energy and per- severance were soon enabled to finish the church and occupy. it.

Onlario's death rate was 9.9 per ;1,000 or fractionally higher than the I national rate, and it was the third highest among the provinces. Saskat- chewan and Alberta appeared to 1,4 the healthiest provinces, but that is probably- attributible to the fact that the average age of the poulation is the lowest on the prairies. Prince Edward Island had the highest death rate, 10.9 BLUEVALE Knox Ladies Aid The Triple Group of the Ladies` Aid of Knox Presbyterian Church met this week at the home of Mrs. Burns Moffatt with 2.2 members and 1 visitor present. • The President, Mrs. Gordon Mun- dell, conducted the meeting.
