“The film makes all the other detective work seem unneces- | sary,” said Paul Haney, Gemini | information: officer.

‘The films. of their fantastic— and unscheduled—space acro- batics were made public Satur- day night on the heels of an announcement that a short cir- euit in a manoeuvring jet eaused the wild gyrations of the spacecraft.

surprise that the films had come out because of the rapid changes in light and darkness. ' The films showed the steady,

Then suddenly there was er- iratic movement, betrayed by ithe quickening changes of sun-| ilight as the spacecraft began to jroll and: flip.

When the spacecraft separ- ated, the roll continued. The. roll was so fast that ‘the crew realized they were approaching their physiological limits.’’

It took almost 30 minutes for the two pilots to get control of the Gemini 8 again—finally us-

and shutting off the main ma- noeuvring jets.

The space agency released its preliminary findings to shut off speculation on the cause of the shortened flight and the fear- some tumbling in space. But its statement said the short circuit

County Potato Organization , Formed At Cardigan Meeting

The | province has a new. potato organization. A i chair- ed by George MacDonald, St. Georges formed The Potato Farmers’ Association-at a meet- ing in-Cardigan Hall, Saturday night.

The membership will be limited to bona fide potato grow- ers, but that will include growers | who are also dealers. AMBITIOUS PLANS

Ambitious.aims of the new as- sociation -include ‘‘daily noon- time market reports on potatoes

| at an unspecified number of Is-”

land points. The reports would cover prices, and the quantity being offered on the market at any given time.

_ Daily bulletins on blight and appearance of disease fields are included -under ‘‘co- operation of information.” There: will be checks on the | composition and the price of | fertilizers, Mr. MacDonald, said | that Eastern Kings had to pay |two dollars per ton more last year than.did other parts. , Fees will be set by,the direct-

Represented ,at the meeting were such communities as Lower Montague, Greenfield, Dundas, Howe Bay, Launching and St. Georges.»
