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.

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. , Mayor Stewart extended the wei- come of the City of Charlottetown to all visitors and especially to the distinguished guest, Mr. Eaton. who he observed was a native of Pugwaah.

Mr. Matheson recalled that in his youth. the old Exhibition building held exhibits of grain and fruits and vegetables.

The object was first sighted about 7 o'clock when a man phoned the Saint John Telegraph- Jnurnal newsroom and said the ”f'lying saucer" with a "Y" mark- ing on its face was floating over the city. Sure enough when reporters and editors investigatcri the matter. there was the strange light glow- ing In the sky, southeast nf Saint John. Two photographers success- fuily took a series of pictures, showing the object in varying sizes. Weather officials were stumped. They discounted one theory that it may have been an observation balloon. A spokesman said a hydro- gen filled balloon would rise until it was out of sight, instead of hm-. ering over the city.
