Yank Moon Shot Will. Miss Target

CAPE CANAVERAL (AP) — The United States fired a space- ereft at the moon Friday, but @ 20,000 to 30,000-mile miss will send it into orbit around the sun.

A spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis- tration said the gold and silver- plated instrument package failed on its mission because of “excessive velocity,” ‘but he didn’t spell it out.

At Ranger's home, the jet propulsion laboratory in Pas- adena, Calif., another spokes- man said that while the instru- ment package would miss, an effort might still be made to photograph the moon as planned.

“The Russians successfully

photographed the moon in 1959 from more than 37,000 miles away.

The terse report from NASA headquarters here did not spec- ify just how-much more than the planned speed of 24,500

the Spacecraft.

As a result of the added and unexpected kick, there will, of course, be no instrument re- ‘ports from the moon.

Memorial Centre Plan Won By Montreal Firm

Complex Said To Display - Permanence And Beauty

TORONTO (CP) — A model |complex of block-shaped build- | ings with a total effect of quiet permanence and beauty Friday | was awarded first prize in a na- tional architectural compeittion ‘for a combined arts centre and |memorial to Canada's founding | fathers.

Six. Montreal architects sub- mitted the design that drew high praise from all seven jury mem- bers. | The scheme of stone-walled

blocks partly enclosing a glass j memorial hall will be built in the central square of Charlotte- /town, next to the old Legisla- |tive Building where the Fathers of Confederation met in 1864.

Members of the winning firm are Raymond Affleck, Guy Des- barats, Dimitri Dimakopoulos, Frederick Lebensfold, Hazen Sise and Town planner Norbert Schoenauer.

Noting that the new building is planned as the first before Confenderation cefftenary cele- |brations in 1967, the jury com- ments in a report that “it will

set a standard of architeetural |

excellence and suitability that willfno likely be surpassed." The jury report adds: ‘The more one studies this plan the more béautiful does it seem to unfold in. terms of circulation and well proportioned space.”

GET $7,500 PRIZE

The winners receive a $7,500 prize plus the commission to carry out the plan and super. vise construction of the Wuilding in the centre of Charlottetown The Fathers of Confederation | Memérial Foundation, & group | of business and professional men across Canada, hope the memorial centre will be com- pleted by the summer of 1964, the. i00th anniversary of ihe Charlottetown Conference that led to the creation of Canada three years later.

The Montreal firm estimates |

total cost of the building at $3,771,000.. The foundation is seeking funds, ideas and matei- ial from federal and provincial governments. +

Second prize of $5,000 goes to Mandel Sprachman of Toroato for an approach similar to that of the winners in combining a theatre, libraries, museums, art galleries and. memorial hall in a square, containing the 115 year-old ‘provincial legislative building.

SHARE THIRD PRIZE

The $2,500 third prize was shared between separate models submitted by Gordon L. Cheney of Toronto and. the Montreal firm of John Bland, Roy Le Moyne and Gordon Edwards. Professor Bland is director of the McGill school of architec- ture.

Six plans ‘received special mention by the jury, which ia | cluded Sir Basil Spence, desig- ner of England’s Coventry Cath- edral.

of judges. Other members were |

JURY PLEASED

Members of the jury sajd they were pleased by the range ot ideas and talént displayed in tne competition. Dr. M ac Kinnon said he was sure the people of Charlottetown would be proud of the new building and expressed pleasure that the design, while

contemporary, will bicnd with the classical lines of the old provincial building. ,

“This contest certainly showed the high standard of imagination among Canadian | architects,’ Sir Basil said.

“The winner is of very high quality and shows great imagim ation and _ sensitivity. It ex- presses the true feeling of ine town and is a beautiful expres

Two separate models entered by Parkin Associates cach re ceived mention.

Dr. MacKinnon Is Pleased

“We did a simple contempor- ary design but it is sensitive and will harmonize with the present Prince Edward island parliament buildings.’

The group of buildings for a cultural and social centre was entered on the spur of the mo- ment. City planner Norbert Sch- oneauer afso took part in the design. | Gtty Desbarats said that ar 'chitecturally, the problem was
