The little four inch squares can easily be crocheted or - ,-knitted ng -children^ if someone like a Guider, Brown Owl or an interested mother will just assemble them. Others who want a non -think job while watching TV. or chatting with friends ' will find this project is ideal therapy for nervous fingers. On cool, -Nall- evenings the USC's quilt program makes a lively conversation piece. For a numberof years the Unitarian Service Committee • has been shippingquilts to needy families in Korea. The quilts are made up from 7 inch squares stuffed with clean nylon stockings and backed with -old drapery or other sturdy material. Why not put aside a few hours regularly .during the coming months for tea, muffins and an old fashioned quilting bee' . For the loners who like a quiet Corner, patterns • are also available to make children's panties, -mittens,_ aprons and above all, boys trousers. No one gets through a pair of pants faster than 'a small boy, ,and in • Korea there is often no possible chance for replacement. Layettes are in especially great demand. A typical layette is made up of the following: one Cabbage with glamour Let „ this colourful crisp coleslaw be the center of attraction on a buffet table, suggests the Foods Department at Macdonald Institu e, University of Guelph. Surround it with assorted breads, cold cuts and a relish tray. Sour cream and Swiss cheese make this salad just .a little bit differe'nt — and a little.. bit tastier.

These items can be made or bought. Clean used clothing with at least one years wear r left is always in demand. Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova, executive director of the - Unitarian Service Committee, said recently, "In developing countries economic progress is obvious, but the poorest are worse off than before. because prices are constantly rising, while their own tiny incomes remain the same." Speaking of her 1968 survey of USC projects she said, "If only Canadian mothers could go and -See for themselves, they would understand better than any words of mine can- convey how desperate the misery and how great the responsibility we face -who have so many blessings: This kind of practical Canadian co-operation creates its own harvest of better living' among thousands- of destitute, innocent adults and little ones who deserve our- friendshipand support."

Now we axe treated t4S yet another technical adventure. A project to establish Canada as the- major exporter of Heavy Water, Heavy Water is used in nuclear .reactors either as a .moderator, to reduce the speed -•pf the reaction, or as a -coolant or in some types of reactor it fulfils both functions. The reaetgrs developed by different countries vary mainly, in the type of moderator and/or coolant used. Their variatiop being 'influenced, by the a v a liability of indigenous uranium, or by a , desire to achieve the most .efficient method of generating steam for the production of electric power. As a result the British plumped for gas cooling with carbon dioxide while Canada has always stuck to heavy water. The Glace Bay Fiasco The Glace Bay heavy water plant was estimated to cost $20 'to $30 million and produce 200 tons of heavy water per annum, starting in May 1967. In January 1969 the plant is still incomplete and not one drop of heavy water has trickled out, while the expenditure has reached $100 million. t was Dr. Harold Urey who in 1934 first isolated the single molecule of heavy, water found in every 5,000. molecules of ordinary wafer. Midway during the war Jerome Spevack developed a very efficient process for extracting the single molecule, which reduced the cost from $200 to $28 per pound. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission immediately built a plant at Savannah, South -Carolina with an annual capacity of 170 tons, sufficient to operate an 850,000 kilowatt generating plant for a year. W. J. Denomme FLOWER • ,_sH • 'Phone 524- ; 8131 DAY OR NIGHT Agent fob 24 -hr. FILM .DEVELOPING Spevack formed the Deuterium Corporation to handle the licensing of his patent. Last year the Corporation lost- $192,000 and its only sale wa's to the Glace Bay plant, for which the contract had 'gone to Deuterium of -Canada, jointlyowned by the Spevack CorpQratioh and a Nova Scotia government Crown corporation. Last October the government of Nova Scotia fired Spevack because , of _ the, delays in completing the plant at Glace Bay and bought full control of the company and the plant. Thereafter strikes cost nine Inonths of lost time, followed by faulty equipment from •-sub-contractors which was installed without prior testing. The 'fast straw parted when the heat exchangers became corroded by sea water which was blamed ori low quality materials and alloys. NoW Spevack has gone and so contends he was forced to purchase much of the faulty Material" from suppliers put up by local politicians and businessmen. The strikes too, were politically inspired. By now Canada should have been exporting 200 tons of heavy water per annum, whereas such expectations have now been advanced to the slid 1970s. Thus, far from becoming a leading exporter of heavy water Canada now faces an acute • shortage at home which brings this story to the Douglas Point plant at Kincardine, for it `is dependent on a supply of heavy water for its continued operation. The Douglas Point Heavy, Water Plant So, to supply the Douglas Point power plant another Crown Corporation, the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., has purchased the drawings and specifications from the Canadian have most of the directors of General Electric Co. and intends Deuterium of Canada Ltd. and the usual name-calling has begun. Canadian officials blame Spevack, as being the nearest American and since this is a political project, that is always ‘'of Canada hopes to be '"able to the best way out of buy this plant also because incompetence and bungling Canadian General Electric has Spevack on the other hand•—sucktentrdecitdeio clear ofiiit off` nuclear power plant construction in Canada. For its • part Canadian ,General Electric to build its own heavy water plant. The Canadian, General Electric Co. was building a heavy water plant at Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, and Atomic Energy blames political 'interference as having produced the many management pblems. He claims that political interference and bungling has cost them millions of dollars, , hence their decision to soldier no more. The Pie In The Sky In 1967 the Canadian Nuclear Association predicted that a world-wide surplus of 130 tons of heavy- water weld become a - shortage of 4,500 tons by 1975 and this would rise to a shortage of 19,930 tons by 1$80; The Canadian government planned to supply 6,675 tons of a 1.572 world demand of 7,200 tons, while the United States would find 500 tons and India 25 tons to Make up the total demand. It is a most distressing story' like all those 'mentioned above and all those yet to emerge. How do you educate the politician that. he is not the brilliant omniscient he believes himself to be? All this money down the drain in an effort to educate the amateur, the man who never ran a profitable business in his life.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to send all aspiring politicians to - a business management school for four 'years before allowiing them to stand for office? When you are judge.and jury combined, no one is ever for the high jump as a result of their blundering. No action is ever taken when the Auditor General discloses these horrible gaffes. • These projects appear to he undertaken in an. effort to increase our prestige. In fact they detraict from it and the sooner we learn our limitations the better -it will be for those who have to finance all these adventures.
