Anyway, Gene was talking
with The Macdonell, and learn-
ed that the latter was an old
Spitfire pilot and an ex -prisoner.

He asked thechief if he'd
known me there, remembering
that I was in the jug. "Sure
I knew Smiley," exclaimed His
Chieftainship. "He bunked
right across the hall from me
in Stalag Luft."
* * *
It turns out that he was call-
ed "Mac" in prison camp. There
were approximately 800,charac-
ters called "Mac" in our camp,
so I can't place him, but it just
goes to show you.
*.' * ,
Speaking of prisoners, I
learned Sunday morning, at a
fairly unholy hour, that it was
my ,fifteenth wedding annivers-
ary. First I knew of it was
when the lady who was lying
beside me, eyes shut tight, push-
ed zine .toward --the far edge of
the bed with one foot, and
mumbled, "Leesha can dooz
gemeezum brekfus nour an-
nvrsry." And ifgyou think that
isn't a shocking way to be awak-
ened on a warm September Sun-
day morn, wait till» it happens

Well, I got her some bP6ak-
fast. The blasted kids, who are
always up with the birds, were
already gathered around the
table, justlike young robins,
gaily.discussing the swim I was,
going to take them for, as I
stumbled and groaned _ _mound._

shorts: They scoffed three
sliced peaches each, and four
of my special Runny Scrambled
Eggs, before ) could get a bite

* •:•l•
And she couldn't swallow a
morsel. Nerves. Our annivers-
ary coincided with her debut
as organist in the church. She,
hadn't slept a wink all night,
but had dozed off, after four
tranquilizers, at dawn. What a
day! It was about 280 degrees
in the shade, but her hands
were as cold as a- coroner's kiss,
and she had a faraway look in
her - eyes that I'd 'never ,seen
before except on the faces of
people who -were wetting their
pants while in swimming.
Briefly, she got through the
ordeal' without • even fainting
once. But she couldn't miss,,
with the rest of the family pray-
ing ,a_ s they'd never prayed be-
fore; that Mum wot,iidn't make
a bollix of it. I thought I heard
a sardonic snort from away up
in the sky, as she was graciously
accepting congratulations after
the service. • '

To round' out the *week, I
went back to school on Monday,
and there, was Joe,' sitting in,
a -;front seats his -ape-like count-
enance
ount
enance `wreathed in a satanic
smile. Joe .is a fiend in human
form, as, I found out last year.
He was ' so disturbing that he
almost made me break a life=
long rule never to hit anybody
bigger than myself.
:r 4; *
He hadn't showed up in the
first two weeks , of school, I
figured he wasn't coming back
this year, and life looked like
a bowl of borscht, compared to
the flagon of hemlock it re-
sembled last year, with him in
the class.
:� :r• 4
And there he sat, leering" at,
me, as cute as 'a baby gorilla.
Do you know what that charac-
ter said to me, as I fumbled for
my blackjack? He said, "Sure
glad I got you for English again.
sir- I allus like to get a good
teacher. We wuz lucky to get
each other again, wuzn't we?"
It was like having your legs
cut off at the knees by a scythe:
You want to run, but all you
can do is groan. As I said.
sometimes I wish life would
stop being so interesting.
[NUCLEAR POWER STATION
W�N'T AFFECT DIKE WATER
• e e
(By G.J.)
(This is a continuation of the
story in last week's Signal -Star
headed "Candu Station Will Cut
Import of Coat." It deals with
a press tour of the Douglas
Point Nuclear Power Station.)
Most reiterated query among
the news en seemed to be,
"What is e, danger of radio-
active wat r polluting the lake?"
With man factured -heavy water
costing 00.00 per gallon, we
were as red that none of this
commodity will be allowed to
escape from its circulatory sys-
ter. Further assurance was
given that no water whatever
will be returned to Lake Huron
until it has been tested to below
the tolerance of ordinary drink-
ing water. Asked why the manu-
factured heavy water is root pro-
duced in Canada our engineer
stated that } would require a
plant costing $300,000,000 to
supply the stuff. Yet "heavy'
water" looks, tastes, smells and
IS the same as drinking water,
except for a pronounced differ-
ence in its density. In Britain
experimentation is under way to
use graphite instead of the more
expensive heavy water.
For those whose minds run
to 'physics, the further explan-
ation was giyen: -"The ordinary
hydrogen atom's nucleus con-
tains a single • proton. The heavy
hydrogen isotope contains a pro-
ton AND a neutron. This hydro-
gen isotope has been given the
name Deuterium. So, since oiir�
dinary water is noted as H 2 O,
heavy water cap be indicated
with the symbol 2 0." 'S true.
Leaving the reactor building
we were led over the rough ter-
rain for a view of the other
construction areas. We were
shown the coffer dam, nearly
completed, the water barrier,:or
"gate," the intake duct and were
shown lc here the surrounding
bed -rock had been grouted with
concrete to fill any unseen fis-
sures that might release or ad-
mit unwanted water. The safety
precautions engineered into the
Douglas Point project are im-
pressive because of the extreme
eventualities that were consid-
ered. One could say, literally,
that no stone has been left un-
turned to assure maximum saf-
ety. As a further' instance, the
lake end of the 1300 foot coffer
dam has been widely flared to
reduce the velocity of flow. .
Why was Douglas Point chosen
as the site for Canada's first
operative station in the nuclear-
* * *
electric field? The abundant
supply of cooling lake water,
the isolation of the area, the
proximity of transmission lines
and , the solid bedrock of the
area were given as the main
assets in choosing the location..
While the site is quite accessible,
via highway 21, it is far enough
away to avoid any traffic hind-
rance for the heavy vehicles
necessary to its construction.

As a windup to Official Press'
Day the visitors from the fourth
estate were entertained at the
Canadian Legion 'Hall • in Kin,
cardine. Hosting the tour and
nner were the O.H.E.P:C. and
a. .L. Amongst the head
Vtable...guests were -Mr. Macaulay,
moss-••Strike;-ehairman-
tario Hydro, and John Foster,
A.E.C.L. manager of the Douglas
Point project. Three brief
speeches concluded the dinner,
Mr. Foster telling of his recent
month's visit to India withsome
amazing details on the' nature of
c4 -operation found in that
country, concerning India's -par-
ticipation in the development of
nuclear energy. The attractive
dinner menu, featuring a cover
of authentic MacKenzie tartan
cloth, came with the compli-
ments of The Bruce Inn, Kin-
cardine. Each guest received a
documentary kit on the Douglas
Point development plus a de-
parture gift of Pine River Cheese
from the manufacturers of that
product.
Last year the average hourly
wage in manufacturing was $1.78
in Canada, 72 cents in the Un-
ited Kingdom, 66 cents in Ger-
many, 43 cents in France and
37 cents in Italy.
