Wonder If Flying Saucer Defected By Instruments

OTTAWA (CF)-ls Canada the first country in the world to record a dying saucc with instruments? That question is being debated here after the transport depart- ment's fiyin saucer sighting sta- tion reporte that it had detected an unexplainable object in the st- mcsphere over Ottawa Sunday. Wilbert B. Smith, engineer in charge of the broadcast and mea- surement section of the transport department. said the saucer sta- tion's gravimeter was tripped at 8:0l p.m. T

Mr. Smith said he is convinced that the deflection on the gravi- meter was not caused by an air- craft. it was either something scientists did not know cbout or an instrument failure.

We now are attempting to find out if there was a allure some- where in the instrument." he said. "If it turns out that there was no failure than I don't. know what it was that ggsad overhead." HIST N IXPLAINID

Mr. smith. who built and oper- ates the sighting f " . said the deflection on the ravimeter was the first that ccud not be ex- lained since the instrument was nsfailed last October. The gravi- meter is designed to detect and record gamma rays. magnetic fluc- tuatiohl. radio noises and gravity and mass changes in the atmo- sphere.

Coun. P. R. Mccormac said he was still against the move as he felt that medical opinion of its value was still divided. He thought the population of this city was so small that only a relatively few would benefit from it. and those in the younger age groups.

In support of the motion. which was seconded by Coun. Arthur Gor- mley. Coun. Elmer MacDonald said he had talked to several local dentists and they were all in favor of the move. Coun. A. W.

The resolution was lost when Councillors Mccormac, Gaudet, Jchnstone and Keefe opposed it on a standing vote. Councillor Gentile Rollers was absent from the city.

"There is no greater joy." said Mr. Eaton. "than for a person, no matter what his walk of life, to own a piece of land and work it. When I was a boy. I used to hear the saying, 't.he former has a hard row to hoe,' but," he continued, lithe greatest requirement for a hard row is hard work and if ever we get lazy. the Communists will come and take us over. There is great reward for those who are willing to put the effort into it," said Mr. Eaton as he concluded his remarks and officially declared the Exhibition open.

Lieutenant Governor P r o w s e spoke briefly at the opening cere- monies. He welcomed the visitors from other parts of Canada and from the United States. He noted that the Exhibition has been thriv- ing and growing each year, until it is now 'one of the moat outstand- ing oventa in the Dominion of Canada. ,
