A half-billion dollar grant--the largest contribution of its kind ever madea has been distributed throughout tihe United States by the Ford Motor Company to expand and further meet the obligation of industry to education. This, notes the Moncton Transcript, is striking recognition of the fact that indus- try needs highly educated personnel in the future and is looking ahead to that day. Of course. the Ford gift to education is m a d e without st.rings attached, and .no one is ob- ligated to join the Ford staff. It is I indirectly that the Ford Company will benefit through the higher standards of its future customers.

Similarly, in other industries in United Statese-and Canada too- there has been a growing interest both through scholarships and dir- ect aid to institutions of higher ed- ucation to help bear the steadily growing burden of expense.

And that cost is rising rapidly. Dr. E. 1''. Sheffield, director of the education division of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. has predicted I doubling of university enrollment in 1965. This prediction is based on the natural increase in population. immigration and the higher ratio of young men and women desiring university education. Projections have indicated that the percentage of boys and girls who eventually go to college has risen from 3 percent in 1941 to 7 per cent today and it is expected to reach 10 per cent by 1964. The implications are stagger- ing and demand the active consider- ation of all those concerned with the development of Canada's future

Energy From The Sun

The earth spins in a ceaseless glare of pure energy. Without sun- light, the planet would be a frozen cinder. In the sun, it lives. Captur- ing this blazing solar power has been an age-old human dream. Farmers transform a tiny fraction into food; forests, into fuel. But most of it goes to waste. Just how much energy pours down, science can only estimate. The total is staggering: Every day. around i.ht' earth, the sun delivers roughly the

equivalent of burning 122 trillion tons of soft coal. Each square foot t of the suiface of the continent rc- ceives about one kilocalorie of en- ergy per minute while the sun shincsw-as much as is rclcast-d by

burning half a wooden match.

The sunlight striking loss than ;i 100-mile squarc of Arizona dtwcrt. ii cmnplctcly tiscd, would be enough to pow:-r all the industry in the United States. The roof of an aver- age house catches about 500 times as much energy as the electricity used by a typical familyr. Small wonder that science looks t.o solar power in the future as much as to atomic power!

In 215 B.C., Archimedes reput- edly set fire to Roman shins basing- ing Syracuse by focusing sunlight with a mirror. Today temperatures of 3,000 degrees and higher arc pro- duccd for science by solar furnaces. the largest. a 33-foot concave focus- ing mirror iii the high Pyrenees of southern France. In 1872. to obtain fresh water fr 0 m the Pacific Ocean. a monster solar still was built in Chile. It produced up to 6.- 000 gallons a day. Nor are solar- poiycrr-d water heaters something new: they were used many years ago in both Florida and California. Solar heating plants for houses, wirloiy tested in recent years. still at-e'two to three times as costly as conventional fuel systems. Yet it lias been estimated, quite conser- vatively, that by 1975 millions of fumes on this continent will be solar heated.

modern American solar research. One of his projects was a solar radiation station built atop a moun- tain in South-West Africa in 1925 for the Smithsonian and the Na- tional Geographic Society.

Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have had solar programs since 1938 under a grant from Dr. Godfrey L. Cabot. So, too, the automotive inventor. Dr. Charles F. Kettering, a Nation- al Geographic Society trustee, has established the Kettering Founda- tion for solar energy studies at Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Old As The Pharao.is

keeping statistics on births. deaths and marriages is by no means a modern practice. Egypt in the zigc of the Pharaohs, ancient Ronuuis and the Incas of Peru also re('ui'tlc(i ihcni. according to a new United Nations study, entitled Handbook of Vital Statistics Meth- ods.

It iyzis prepared by the UN's Slalisiiwal Office to help govern- ments dcyclop and appraise their sew-ices for recording live and still births. deaths. marriages and div- orces. This informaion is important for planning and carrying out social and economic policies.

Based on data from more than 100 countries and territ.or'ies. the llandbook does not only give a world-witle cross-section of prac- tices and mcthods for gathering vital statistics. it is also the most t-omprc-hcnsive survey of its kind ever to have been made.

The registratjion of births. deaths and marriages, it shows. has had a very long history. Thus, ancient Egypt had a vital statistics scheme in operation as far back as 1250 BC., and citizens of Rome in the sixth century BC... were required to

report the arriyal of new-born children within 30 days of their birth.

Registration systems as known today. however. really began with the Incas of Peru. They had a well- dcvelopcd records system, even though they did not know how to write. They used knotted strings called ”quipus" for the purpose.

Anolhcr interesting fact to be gleaned from the Ilandbnok is thal while in most countries, parents are responsible for seeing that the birth of a hahy is recorded. in the l'nitcri States thc doctor delivering the baby has this obligation

Efliiiawa And The Provinces

By John Bird Canadian Press Staff. Ottiitwn

Canada's lawmakers left no his- toric legislalive landmarks in I955 but ideas advarued outside of Parliament could result in im- portant developments next year.

At fedcral-proviiicial conferences the St. Laurent administration made four proposals on which legislative action may be taken at the next session of Parliament opening .Ian. 10:

l. A suggested formula for re- placing existing tax rental agree- mcnts with the provinces with a plan under which provincial gov- ernments would return to the di- rect tax fields-personal and cor- poration income and inheritance.

2. A lan to participate with the provinces in the payment of unem- ployment relief.

3. A new system of payments to complete construction of the trans- Canada highway by 1961.

4. Construction of an all-Cana- dian natural gas pipcline from Al-

berta to eastern Canada by govern .

merit and private interests.

BIG PROJECT

The proposal for construction of the 2.200-mile. S350.(l0fl.(l()0 line invnlvcs building of the line to the Ontario-Manitoba border by Trans-Canada Pipe Llncs Ltd. The 675 miles from the border to Kapus- kasing, 0nt.. would be built by an Ontario-fedcral crown company.

The federal government also out- lined in broad terms ihc condi- tions undcr which it would be pre- pared in enter a plan of national health insurance. llnwevcr. talks with the provinces produced no agreement-cvcn in principle.

Most of the 60 government-spoii sored ntcas-'iii'c.s, passed in I95! were amendments in existing legis Iation. The main oncs were in th: fields of regulation and social wel farc.

Parliament voted S4.507.9N).000 for the current fiscal year in gov- crnmcnt expenditures. about 860.- 000.000 below the previous year's peacetime peak The amount will he increasrd slightly by supple. mentary estimates at the next ses- SIOH.

Outer Mongolia. land of Genghis Khan--wild as its warrior history, cold as ll Siberian blizzard. re- mote as the Gobi wastes-- has been turned down again for admission to the United Nations.

The Mongolian People's republic. back door between China and Soviet Russia. has been closed off from the outside world for 31 years Very little is known of its life today, in strange mixture of nomads and modern cities. huge livestock herds and increasing lit- eracy.

Both area and population are vugiic: an estimated 900.000 people in a vast indefinite tract of moun- tains, grasslands. and desert cov- ering some 600,000 square miles. They own more animals per per- son--.'i2.l at last count-than any other nation on earth.

A Needed Inquiry"

(SATURDAY NIGHT)

The outcry of some Socialists following appointment of the Fow- ler Commission to study broad casting policies in Canada wa not only a childish show of bar" manners but a characteristic dis play of prejudice. They decider that because two of the thre members of the Commission, Rob ert M. Fowler and James Stewart have been active in the Iffairs oi the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce. it was all I plot to destroy the CBC. I "sell-out to big busi- . ness". Thus they managed at the one time to pre-judge without evidence. to question the integrity of the three men appointed by tlu Government. and to impute only the basest motives to anyone con- nected with the CCC.

Fortunately, the country has be- come accustomed to such.snarls from the Left. It has been I long time. of course. since any respon- sible person suggested that the CBC be liquidated. But for many years, and particularly since the arrival of television. it has been obvious to all but the most fanatic believers in slate monopoly that I realistic examination by I com- petent. independent body should be made of both the powers and the finanbinl structure of the CBC. The Fowler Commission should be able to make such In examination.
