Three hundred years ago you couldn't have found a man with more curiosity than Anton van Leeuwenhoek, a dry - goods merchant of Delft, Holland. People laughed at him because he wondered aloud about the magnifying glass he used in examining cloth. Why he wanted to know, could a little bit of glass magnify as much as ten times? How was such glass made? Could it be Made to enlarge even more? To find out, he learned to grind glass. He ground lenses finer and clearer than any yet made, and the images - they showed•were bigger. He turned his magic glass on all kinds of tiny objects: a •flea's leg, a hair, an insect's stinger. No human eye had seen these in detail before. What he observed he wrote down carefully,. making sktillful measurements and exact drawings. . All the while he went on grinding glass. At last he had a lens so perfect it enlarged 270 times. What to put under it, he won- dered. A drop of water? What could be seen in a drop of water under the lens that could not be seen by the naked eye? But Leeuwenoek took nothing for granted. He placed a drop of water under his lens, still doubting that it would reveal anything. What he saw made him gasp in astonishment and look again. Here was an ocean teePning with life! In this. ocean were thousands, perhaps millions of writhing, slithering creatures. Yet when Leeuwenhoek held the jest tube away from his magic lens, he found only the same -clear drop of water he had placed in it. These strange animals were so small that they disappeared in the depths of their miniature ocean, just as fish are hidden in the Atlagtic and Pacific. With great excitement Leeuwenhoek scoped up drops of water from everywhere from the Delft canals, from the street, from his well. Each, when enlarged, was a sea filled with strange creatures. Two hundred years went by before scientists learned that many of his microscopic creatures were germs which cause disease. Even so, his. discovery was hailed in his own lifetime. From all over Europe people .came to peer through his wonderful Tense.,. He was elected a member of the Royal Society of London to which the famous scientists of that day belonged. His notes to the Royal Society, written until he died at the age of 91, are -vivid examples of the questioning mind that cannot rest until it has the right answers, A.drop of water is an ocean - alive with creatures YOUR CHOICE FILM DEVELOPING LOW PRICE OR...

An elderly reader paid almost 5300 for a Sonoid deluxe heat and massage pad from a door to door salesman representing the Dominion Therapy Company from Downsview, Ontario. The reason our reader bought this pad was to ease leg pains, however in the in- struction book that came with the pad it stated that, it should not be used by anyone with peripheral vascular disease. -He contacted his docctor and was told by him, that he didn't recommend it for him. He then sent a letter explaining all this to the company and requesting a refund. His letter of almost 2 months ago still remains unanswered. We have written on our reader's behalf and are prepared to put him in touch with the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Relations, if necessary.

GODERICH I've never ever written .to a, complaint columnist before, but I'm so B.:4 mad that I' willing to try anything! Almost a year ago I parted with $650 for a human hairpiece which was supposed to be guaranteed for. four--. years. Well in four months it started shedding hair very rapidly and the rip-off came when I tried tem return it and was told, that it was my fault for not properly, looking after it. They said that if I wanted it repaired, I'd have to pay to get it done, as their ("so called") guarantee didn't cover, "damage due to negligence." I vehemently deny this, but how do I get my money back? Send all the facts to the, Consumer Protection Bureau, 555 Yonge St. Toronto.
