with
rockets of one kind or 'another.
On August, 1, 1932, he was , re-
cruite 1 to the "Ballistic. Office"
in Berlin, In 1935 he selected
Peeneanunde, promising the Ger-
man war office a liquid fueled
rocket, the A4, which would
carry a one ton warhead of
high explosive a distance of
160 miles. _
By March, 1944, the A4 had
n&t yet appeared.- Dissenters
within the Nazi ranks had per-
suaded Hitler to back the flying
bomb project. to the detriment
of the A4. At the same time
the Security Service hinted that
Von Braun and three of his
assistants were guilty of high
treason. We learn from Col-
onel -General Jodl's notes that
these men had talked publicly
of Germany as "sure of de-
feat," while they considered
that their target for tomorrow
was "designing a space ship"
rather than an instrumental of
murder."
On March 15 they were.arrest-
ed and imprisoned at Stettin, on-
ly to be subsequently released. It
Was not until August, 1944, that
the A4 was restored to favor.
It was soon after that the Bri-
tish Intelligence discovered that
the Germans had expended
years of research and several
tons of costly fuel to throw
a one -ton warh,ead at London,,'
which was not much larger than
the far more cheaply produced
.flying bomb. In fact the average
cost of the A4 was $60„000 as
compared with $625 for the
"bomb."
Von Braun estimated that
there had been Some 65,000
m:odifleatiQns before , reliability
was achieved. No one has yet
discovered why, the Germans
Vwa ted so much effort en a pro-
ject which did nothing save ac-
celerate the loss of the war. On
May 2, 1945,„ Von Braun and
400 other scientists surrounded
to the Americans at Partisch-
Partenkirchen.
Today Von Braun is known
as a developer of U.S. space
ships, being Director of the
Marshall Space Flight Center
at Huntsville„ Ala. He is con-
fident that the U.S. will put
a manon the moon before 1970,
but of greater interest to the
man in the street are his ide'
on the value of satellites to the
general economy. For example
he sees the possibility of; taking
a global population census. A
satellite could take inventories
of the earth's food supplies.
using a mixture of aerial photo-
graphy and remote sensors.
It would be possible to dis-
tinguish between barley and
oats, or soy beans and corn. The
sensors could distinguish be-
tween a stem rusted 'crop and
a healthy one. The causes 'of
crop disease could be determin-
ed a year in advance by noting
lack of water, chemical imbal-
ance or frost damage. •
Astronauts will soon be map-
ping underground rivers, which
are known to hold many times
more water than the, surface
rivers. He sees manned meteor-
ological satellites which will

It hag been estimated that even
our present satellite weather
forecasting has .saved t 2,500,-
000,000 to farmers, airlines and
business generally. Sea, state,
ice movements, salinity, water
temperature, the movement of
plankto can all be monitored
continuously and, in the last
case, the fisherman can be dir-
ected to the best fishing
grounds.
The satellite becomes finan-
cially attractive more particui:
arly where day in, day out data
is required. True, it 'is costly to
place in orbit,, -but once' up,. it
stays up and the longer it stays
up, the less the cost per hour
Of service. If the satellite stays
up long enough, it can beat the
cost •of running a Honda --60
miles to the gallon.
Research Porjects
In another part of the Space
Flight Center, Dr. Ernest Stuh
linger is to be found, and it is
he who directs research. Char-
les Kettering, used to say that
General Motors Research Lab
looked 10 to 15 years ahead. Dr.
Stuhlinger's target is to put a
team of astronauts on Mars in
-16 to 20. years and $6,000,000,-
000.
To appreciate the immensity
of this problem it should be
recalled that while the moon
is only 240,000 miles from earth,
Mars, at its closest is 35,000,000
miles away. He thinks the
round trip might take 500 days,
made up as under: 145 days
flight to the vicinity of Mars;
231/4_ day for a spiral approach;
30 days stay on Mars, then 255

FALL TERM
Students are reminded that school commences on
Tuesday, Sept. 6, 1966. Students from the- Goderich
District Collegiate Institute area who are attending
Goderich District Collegiate and Central Huron
Secondary School inaGlinton will report to Goderich.
On TUESDAY only, school will commence at 9:40
a.m. This means that buses will travel the routes
approximately forty minutes later than on a normal
school day.
Students attending Goderich District Collegiate In-
stjtute are to report to the Auditorium. Students

But it should be made clear that
the figure of $6,000,000,000 is

more, perhaps 160 billion, or one

TAYLOR'S CORNER. --.-. Tay-
lor's Corner Community Club
took a bus trip August 10 to theNiagara District. As their
guests, were former membens,
and all - gathered at the old
church for an early start. The
first ' stop was at Locke 1 at

now. Similarly the moon vehic-
le will cost a mere 390''mni'llion,
while the whole program will
be 20 billion.
So, given the funds, the state
of knowledge is now sufficient
to 'make a flight possible by
1986. Insix' to . eight years we
shall kliow whether such a flight
shculd be made and the fol-
lowing 12 to 14 years would be
spent in making the hardware
and testing. Sic' ad Astra!

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Chu-
rch built in 1791 at -Niagara-
on-the-Lake. '
After lunch at Fort George
picnic grounds, a visit was paid
to Brock's Monument at Queen-
ston Heights, the floral clock
and Sir -Adam Beek No. 2 hydro
station where a conducted tour
and films were enjoyed.
The rest of the afternoon was
spent viewing the falls, the wax
museum, the skylon and other
points of interest. Supper was
enjoyed at the Rendezvous res-
taurant at' Hamilton, followed
by a visit to the Hamilton rock
gardens.
A tired but happy group ar-
rived home when Mrs. C. Sin-
clair gave a sincere and hearty
vote of thanks to the driver, Mr.
Al Sherwood, of Dungannon,
who planned the. trip.
