_-posals for unifying Canada’s armed “forces. will shortly ‘come. before Parliament, and it will then be neces: ~-gary to define them-in-words-that-can be clearly understood. This has never een done, for séme reason or other. But despite lack of official informa- tion, two Ottawa correspondents of the Globe and Mail have gone to work assembling all transcripts of this year’s meetings of the parliamentary standing committee on defense, and have come up with the clearest pic- ture we have seen of what will be done and how it will be done. Taken in terms of a single effect, the reports ‘made to the committee by heads of the six: separate defense commands

-? Briefly, the point is made that ‘while unification has been touted as A money-saving device under which the three services will be combined under one command, in one uniform, (t is uch more than that. And. the: plans are so far advanced that only a change of government could arrest them now. It would-take no less than & major cabinet upheaval, probably a change in the defense - ministry, even to slow the plans down. Mr. Hellyer himself has réfused to slow down, under the heaviest pressure from senior officers who insisted that -a slowdown ‘was essential to insure

Under unification, the main effect - will be that the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air “Force will disappear as unique functions to. - become army supports only. That this is fully understood in the services is ‘Teflected in the fact that air force. ‘and naval officers have been in the majority among those who co-opera- ed at first, then cried whoa, and finally, when they were unable to slow the momentum, got out or were

The evidence of army ascendency is everywhere, although it will take some years before the process is complete. Some pure air force roles still exist for the RCAF (Air Division in Europe, Air Defense Command in -Canada) but there are no plans to ex-” ‘tend or replace the aircraft types involved, the CF-104 in Europe and the CF-101 Air Defénse Command:

How will this affect our Air Force centre at Summerside? How will it affect other centres across Canada? © We haven’t.got a naval training sta- tion in Charlottetown to worry about —Mr. Hellyer took care of that some years ago—but other communities have and we may expect their an- _ _ gry reaction to the scheme.

others veer toward the sun and make elliptical orbits that may bring them near the planets. When a comet begins its sun- ward journey, its nucleus may be only a mile to 30 miles in diameter. The - increasing heat produces vapor that — surrounds

~ The heads are immense. The smallest are 10,000 miles in diae meter; the average-80,000 miles, The biggest ever observed, 1611, had a diameter of ise 000 miles — greater than that of the sun itself. -

The sun's force, Dr. Whipple explains, pushes the comet's gas- és and dust back from its head usually in a gréat tail that points away from the sun. Not every comet develops a tail, though one had seven. 4

A comet's tail may stretch mit- lions of. miles. The great-comet of 1843 etended 200 million miles —the distance from _ the sun: to Mars.

Despite their size, comets have incredibly little mass. The aver-" age density, in fact, is less than any vacuum that can be pro- duced on earth in a a laboratory. The bulk is almost entirely con- centrated in the nucleus and head.
