The machine is v. capable of picking up articles as small as drinking straws and also levels the beach. Tentative plans call for the Grand Bend and Area Chamber of Commerce splitting • the cost of the machine with the Ratepayers Association.

Rather emphatic statements, these, and you may well ask, how so, Why do we want artificial se- telites in the first place. One might answer that satel- lites can teach us much about the most fundamental prob- lems of science, A lot of the clues we want— in physics, geophysics and astrophysics,• for example, and in. meteorol- ogy — can be found only up where satellites will be, or can gathered better up there. We might envision satellites as pieces of laboratory appa- ratus and the upper atmos- phere as a tremendous labora- tory where we will carry out. experiments impossible earth. Because particles are so scarce in the upper atmos- phere, it takes comparatively small amounts of chemicals to produce reactions spreading out over huge areas. Thus the larger satellites we consider for the ifuture could be equipped to 'gefidrate intense ultra -violet light, and so create vast pools of atomic oxygen. Aircraft flying through these pools could utilize that power, Specu- lation? Yes, but theoreticdlly possible. Last, hut surely not least, satellites lead us to intriguing thoughts about man's changing place in the scheme of things. Once man thought his earth the centre of the universe, then science taught him that he was merely hurtling through space on one of many satellites of one of many suns. Now, as man has begun to put up true satellites of his own, he is in a way making himself the centre of a universe of his own creation. Nobody quite knows or under- stands the many problems in- volved in space flight, but there is no doubt that these problems will be overcome and will be common knowledge to the man of the future. campers staying at the park to growth to be found in our pro. give them something to occu- ejeelal parks, they will come py their time during their long to appreciate more the real leisure hours through the day. beauty of one of our top tour.
