Garnea Marc Garpeau will become the first Canadian in space when 1Viisaian 41-G is launched from the I ednedy Space Ceiat'e on Qct. 1. The eight-day mission is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Astronaut Garneau will conduct 10 experiments in space technology, apace science and life sciences. The experiments were designed and developed in Canada. The Space Shuttle Cha11 nger will reach an . altitude of 356 km (190 nautical miles). It will be the second mission to fly at an inclination of 57 degrees, giving it more coverage ,of the earth than the normal shuttle orbit of 28.5 degrees. This means that, on a number of orbits, Challenger will be flying over Canada. Unfortunately, the shuttle will not be visible because these orbits Will occur during daylight. Garneau, 35, is a native of Quebec City. He attended primary and secondary schools in Quebec City and London, England, and received a Bachelor of Engineering (Physics) degree from the Royal Military College, Kingston, in 1970, He received a doc- torate in electrical engineer- ing from the Imperial Col- lege of science and Tech - Crossroads—Sept. 26, 1984—Page 5 ss Canada's first space traveller London, England, in On a previous shuttle, it IIu�Ogy� was found the originally 197.3.1,aSt year he trained for bright red Canadian flag on 10 n?Iluntlts at flee Canadian the first Canadarm became Armed Forces Command brownish.

In 1983 he was promoted to commander and transferred to Ottawa to become design authority for all naval communications and elec- tronic warfare equipment and systems. Among the space technology experiments Garneau will be involved in is observation of non- metallic composite materi- als, such as graphite and epoxy compounds, used in the space shuttle. The experiment includes testing samples of composite materials attached to Canadarm and measuring any deterioration. larger spacecraft. Garneau will use a checklist, pocket mirror and tape recorder to report any symptoms throughout the mission. Other me ers of the crew are „Americans.

A part of the experiment will be examining the density and distribution of the El Chichon volcanic cloud, before the cloud disappears. The El Chicon volcano in Mexico erupted about two and a half years ago. He will also take part in tests related to human reactions to space flight.

ATIONAL VICTORIA AND GREY TRUST COMPANY Member: Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation who developed the ex- periments will be at the Kennedy Space Centre for the launching and will follow the Challenger'; progress from the Johnson Space Centre in Texas. Backup. crew member for the mission is Robert Brent Thirsk, 31, a native of New Westminster, B.C. Like Garneau, he is one of the six original Canadian astronauts selected in December, 1983 who began their training in February, 1984. The astronauts are employees of the National ' Research Council of Canada. Dr. Thirsk attended primary and secondary H. GORDON GREEN schools in B. C. and Alberta and graduated from John Taylgr Collegiate in Win- nipeg. He received a B.Sc. degree in' mechanical engineering from the University of Calgary in 1976, a M.Sc. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1978 and a Doctor of Medicine degree from McGill University, Montreal, in 1982. The Challenger is scheduled to land at the Kennedy Space Centre at 12:20 ,p.m. EDT, on Oct. 9. If weather prohibits a landing at Kennedy, the Challenger will land at Edwards, California.

It isn't really that ' be in their steaks and roasts, expensive. and what their consumption Well if you were one of the could be doing to the body's millions who were tuned into defences. But now comes a the NBC news telecast a few more ominous accusation.

What prompted the NBC to pay special ,attention to this threat the other night was an outbreak of mysterious ill- ness in South Dakota re- cently an illness in which 18 people were affected and one person died. And this out- break was thought to be dir- - ectly attributable to a strain of Salmonella which originated 'in a certain feed- lot. Just how a dangerous strain of germs produced in animals could get into humans isn't exactly clear. Hopefully the whole alarm may eventually prove to have come from mere suspi- cion rather than fact, but one -thing sure, , the consumer ' who already feels queasy about eating beef today, isn't going to find much comfort in it, establishment ' in •which the RETURN WITH US TO animals are kept in close confinement and fed grains instead of the hay and grass which is their natural fodder. And to this highly unnatural feeding . system antibiotics and hormones, are added. ,According to NBC the anti- ' biotics and hormones sold to America's livestock industry total $250 million a year. Ad- mittedly' a lot of that awe- some total goes to the big pig men and big poultry pro- ducers but most of it goes into the production of beef.: Why such a massive con- sumption of these chemicals by our, modern meat pro- ducers? There are two main reasons and the first is that animals or birds kept in, crowded, stressful con- ditions and de.prived.' of normal exercise are much more susceptible to disease, and injecting 'some antibiotic into them, or lacing their ra- tion with it provides a measure of insurance against sickness. Secondly these additives, for reasons not altogether clear yet, actually make the animal grow faster and more efficiently. .
