THF SECIIETIVF POLICE A councillor wants tot know why
Caderich 4. Pollee budget is tWo and a. !AU tines greater tion.
that of towns of comparable si4e. It appealrs- that _God, the Muni•
of l Volice C.oMmission and the local police commission alone a
know the answer and they won't tell. It seems extraordinary that
anyone should suddenly question such a small $ure as $61,000,
when for years now they have been conditioned to such technical
matters being veiled from them. After all we have not been told
• how the school boards spend their Money. No taxpayer has any
idea as to how the Hospital finances stand - or whether they stared
at all. People have long since accepted the fact that all Boards,
Commissions, even douncils move in a• mysterious way .their
deficits 'tp incur, few of which could face the light Of day. The
taxpayer must accept the fact that he is simply a drone, whose
sole purpose in this life is to bring honey to -the hive.

ORN'ITHOLATRY - The Royal Air Force spends $3 million
a year in repairs to engines that have ingested birds. Why is so
little known about birds? Because ornithscopy (bird watching)
has. developed into ornitholatry (worship of birds) `which leaves
no time for ornithology, (study of birds).

FELIX YOUSSOPOV - Youssopov died in Paris at the age of
81 on. September 27. He was the leader of the group who assas-
sinated Rasputin, the Mad Monk, in 1916. Itwas said that Rasputin's
influence on the Russian Court which caused the failure of Russia's
armies in World War I.,

BRITAIN'S DECAY - One subject on which there is no secrecy
is Britain's 'decay'.
* * *
NORTH SEA GAS - In two years recoverable reserves of
30 trillion • cubic feet of natural gas have been found under the
North sea off Britain. This is nearly three-quarters as much as
has been proved in Canada to date and ten percent of the entire
U.S. -reserves. By 1970 Britain will be using gas for six percent
of its fuel needs and this will soar to ten percent by 1980, equal
to 2.9 million barrels of oil a day.

SPIES - The U.S. is estimated to employ 15,000 agents with
a budget of $400 million p.a. The Soviet has perhaps 300,000, with
about 500 in Canada. Canada has 500 agents, all working•at home.
Britain spends only $40 million p.a. on secret agents and their
number is unknown. Bonn admits there are more than 6000
enemy spies active •in West Germany. What is the average life
of a spy? There are no statistics! Kim Philby, who spied on
Britain for the Soviet, lasted 30 years.

"; -TIE WELFARE STATE • We talk about a` ._. '-
guaraanteed income--
for everyone, whether he works or not; This-ts what -the -British
called The Dole,. and it helped to get them into the_mess they
are in today,- __
We complacently watch unions demand and force unearned wage
increases which destroy profits vitae to national growth: It is
only one step from the Russians, who abolished profits in favour
of the Workingman's Soviet.
We watch our •government seizing more and more power,
destroying the authority and self-respect of cities and provinces.
That's what Germany did-, and out of it came Hitler.
Criminals are pampered, police attacked. Success is suspect,
poverty perpetuated. Governmept run 'S amok 'in spending miney
it does not have and in destroying thrift and hard-won security.
The cry goes up: How long 0 Lord, how long?

APHONISOS - A Greek" city answering to the above name,
situated on an .island and dating from about 200.0 B.C. has just
been discovered `drowned'. The island lies, off the Peloponnese
coast in ten feet of water. It is a complex of houses and streets "
built of uncut blocks •of stone and it covers 21 acres. It looks
as though it had been abandoned a month after building it. Was
it overwhelmed by the great volcanic explosion of Thera in 1450
B.C., which • destroyed the Minoan civilization? Ash from a this
eruption spread over a thousand -miles. We shall knowmore
next summer when excavationbegins.

BOOM IN TELESCOPE, - The Saudi Arabians are dickering .
with Britain for a 200 -inch optical telescope to be constructed
in an observatory at Riyadh, thus perhaps reviving the ancient
prowess of the Arabs as astronomers. A mirror of this diameter
involves grinding to a tolerance of one five hundred thousandth
of an inch. Other optical telescopes are scheduled, for Sydney,
Australia, 150 -inch. Sussex, England, 78 -inch. British Columbia,
Arizona, and Provence, France. There is a hint that the Russians
may be planning a 269 -inch one. Save for dust storms, the desert
is a• good location for a. telescope. A 200 -inch diam 4ter telescope
will penetrate into space twice as far as a ItVinch, but it will
cost four times as much. .
The radio_.astronomer can pick up more distant signals, but
he has no equivalent of the spectrum which optical telescopes
can photograph and from which the chemical elements in a star
anti_ its interior processes can be determined. They will have.to
get the mirror to Riyadh safely, for to break such would bring'
more than seven years bed luck! G.MeR.
