; and the studies are concerned ; with how best to bring about the ;desired effect.

‘BIRDS AT AIRPORTS . Moving on to the problem of i bird-bothered airports, Dr. Mun-

Ltd. Northwest. says it is the world's first plastic home to go into production.

Gilbert Rekken. a spokesman for the manufacturer. said the house is a flexible dwelling unit which can be used as a one- room apartment or combined with similar units to form an exciting complex of many var iations. Each unit costs approx imately $2,300.

The basic unit Is 11 feet. six inches high by 15 feet wide at the front. Its sweeping lines taper gracefully to a 10—foot width at the rear. Length is 31 feet at the roof line and 24 feet at the base.

ENDS CUT BACK

The ends are cut back and enclosed in glass to provide a dramatic architectural effect. Each unit oses a living area of 320 square feet.

. en said Northwest has found considerable interest in the casseta in Europe and other areas.

He said arrangements have been made to manufacture the unit id'Scandinavia by Sean- more Houses A-C of Co hagen and in Common Market countries by Intervllousc N-V oi

' ‘Jut-phass. The Netherlands.

Mr. Rekken said the home could be easily moved. a fea- ture particularly important in plans to assemble the casseta into motels. resort camps. serv- ice ‘stations, marinas. drive-in- restau a n d temporary buildings. Northwest expects a large market in summer cot- tages and ski lodges where transportation to remote sites is difficult.

Mr. Rekken said the house tested under extreme winter conditions. has twice the insul- ation value of most other ma- terials and can be heated elec~ tricaily for a few cents a day.

ARTIST SHOWS UNIQUE FLAG

REGINA (CPI—It weighs 100 pounds and it flashes.

It's a distinctive Canada tflsg designed by Regina art ist Ted Godwin.

t e flag stands on steel legs and is made up of neon lights.

The design is of a single maple leaf, vertical blue bars on the edges and 10 lights sur- rounding the maple leaf and representing the 10 provinces of Canada.‘

The color and intensity of the 10 lights can be varied with the changing fortunes a s of the provinces. says Godwin, who has the flag in front of his home. Blue can signify a time of disaster for a province and gold a (time of economic buoyancy.

The single maple leaf rep- resents Canadian unity.

The flag flashes on and off at variable speed.

“Slow in time of peace and fast in war to keep the na- tional a n g e 1' up,“ Godwin says.

‘Any flag is good as ion" as you believe in it." he adds. “This one is contemporaneous with the times—the age at electronics.”
