The Popular Guardian Cartoonist To Leave For Bangor, Maine Members of the Guardian Staff yesterday morning gathered in the newsroom to bid farewell to‘ the newspaper's cartoonist, Vic Runtz who leaves at the end of this week to take up a position on the editorial staff of the Ban gor Daily News, Maine, U. S. A. Mr. Runtz came to The Guard- tan in July 1948 and his daily cartoons with the ever present cat have been a great source of interest to the public and have endeared him to thousands thro- ughout the Island. His sense of values were re- flected in his cartoons which always dealt with every day topics pertaining to the local community. He never failed, when it was possible, to inject cat, it will be- observed, is all packed for the trip and will ride in the cartoonist’s pocket. It would seem from the ‘expression on Kitty's face that he is a bit sad at leaving Charlottetown. a bit of humour in his drawings. COMMUNITY WORKER In Charlottetown Mr. Runtz is a past presidentof the Prince Edward Island Art Society and the Maritime Art Association. He was the co-founder of the ‘-Charlottetown Camera Club along with Roland Taylor. Each year his services were sought as a judge of Art at the Provincial Ex- hibition. He was a trustee of the Legislative and Public Library. In his Church, Mr. Runtz was particularly active.

Government officials ‘said a li- cence has been obtained to manu- facture the Sparrow II missile in Canada. The Sparrow was devel- oped in the United States by Doug- las Aircraft Company and Sperry Gyroscope Company. Industry sources revealed that work basic to production of the Sparrow in Canadian plants has started. Five firms will have a share in. Sparrow production — Computing Devices of Canada, Canadian Westinghouse, Canadair Ltd., de Havilland Aircraft Company and Avro Aircraft Ltd. It probably will be three or four ,years before the missile, with a operational use with the RCAF. This will make 11 to 12 years in all since plans were laid down in 1950 for acquisition of an air-‘ to-aif missile for the air force. The Sparrow will comprise the main armament of the successor to the CF-100 jet interceptor now in squadron. service. This may be the supersonic CF-105 now being developed by Avro. “The-CF-100's main armament is an ungu-ided rocket carried in wing-tip pods. Each pod carries some 24 rockets. CANCELLED JET ORDER The ‘Sparrow originally was scheduled to form the armament of a Mark VI version of the CF- 100 but the Progressive Conserv- ative government cancelled a con- tract with Avro for production of this model, partly as a $100,000,- 000 economy measure. The Canadian aviatin industry has long complained that Canada range of four to five miles, is in still has no missiles of any type or any means to manufacture them. The trade magazine Aircraft said in its November issue that the Sparrow II will not be pro- duced in the U.S. so that any fur- ther development work will have to be carried out in. Canada. This, said the magazine, will re- create the situation encountered with the Canadian - developed Velvet Glove missile, abandoned in 1955 because the Sparrow was considered superior. In early 1950, the defence de- partment embarked on a project to ‘equip the RCAF with air-to-air missiles. Eight months later, the first Velvet Glove was tes-t-fired and it was expected the weapon would be in production by 1957, By after an expenditure of $24,000,000, Velvet Glove was dropped and plans were made to obtain licences from the Ameri- can firms involved to manufac- ture the Sparrow in Canada.

Orwell, Collector Evelyn Mac-1 By CHRISTINE STEWART Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP)-—Ginette Le- tondal, who has spent 23 of her 27 years on the stage, modestly attributes part of her success to “c,oward's courage.” The Montreal actress is to play the role of Joan of Arc in ‘‘T'‘': Lark,” by Jean Anouilh. The play was chosen as the first pro- duction of the new Theatre de la Comedia Canadienne, due to open in a few weeks. ' Miss Letondal shows an uncon- scious kinship with Anouilh’s Joan, who tells the weak French king: “We’re all a little cowardly, Charles. The whole scheme is to be afraid before the battle be- gins.” MASTERS FEAR Says Miss Letondal: “I’m a great coward, too, be- fore the curtain goes up, but somehow I master my fear and rise to the occasion.” The theatre plans to present the play in French and English on alternate nights. Ginette is bi- ‘ lingual. Gratien Gelinas, well - known actor and director of the new theatre, says of her: . “Miss Letondal has the capac- ity to make of St. Joan a good or even great creation. She has ‘le metier’—an accumulation of experience and talent and judg- ment.” A knowledge of Joan as a his- play the part, Miss Letondal said in an interview. Learning it In two languages gave her deeper insight. DIFFERENT VIEWS “The English are inclined.to regard Joan as a heretic who italked directly with God and de- fied thechurch,” she said. “The French see her as a devout girl whose downfall was brought ‘New Joan Of Arc Admits Nervous Before Curtain torical figure will help her to‘ Among Ginette‘s other recent roles was the part of Queen Catherine in the 1956 Stratford, Ont., S h a k e spearean Festival production of “Henry V,” which won acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland. In October she narrated the bi- lingual television trib ute to Philip, “Music for her Majesty.” She was one of the heroines of Henry James “The American,” produced for television by To- ronto's David Greene. In private life Ginette has been married nine years to Andre Roche, editor of a Montreal weekly dealing with the arts. They h ave two children: Phil- ippe,' 2, and Daniel, two months. When Ginette was four, she was dancing professionally. Her uncle, actor-musician Henri Le- tondal, encouraged her acting and she became _widely known as a child actress on radio and stage. IN MOVIE AT 13 _ At 13, -she appeared in the first French - Canadian movie, “Le Pere Chopin.” ' Between 15 and 17, the fame she had attained became a prob- lem she says. Like many child actors no longer able to play juvenile roles, she tried to re- main a child off-stage in a sub- conscious effort to win praise and approval. “Then suddenly I wa n t e d to forget all about acting and be- come a night club singer.” But the old urge to act came again. Slowly she began to work at becoming an adult actress. "I had to begin all over again. Directors did not think I was very good. It was not easy.” Directors in radio, television, films and stage now are con- stantly seeking out this petite beauty. What she calls “coward’s courage” they call a healthy re- spect for the effort needed to play I about by the bad priests.” By 'AL’I‘0N L. BLAKESLEE NEW YORK (AP)-—If Moscow reports are true, a daring Rus- sian astronaut“ has kicked open some of the doors to human space travel. Such a feat would prove human beings can survive the initial to the moon. One of these is the tremendous’ and sudden pull of gravity at rocket takeoff. His body must have felt as heavy as stone or lead when the rocket accelerated so fast that his weight was, in. effect, increased six times or more. And-—still assuming the truth of Moscow reports -.— he came back toe rth- He coul have been riding in I sealed cabin or container near the nose of a huge rocket. At the top of his flight, or some- time soon after, this container could be separated’ from the rocket by explosive charges, then parachuted homeward. This space-seeking Ivan would have a thrilling story to tell. For a time, he came weight- less when the rocket was coast- ing in p_art of its flight. Briefly he felt a strange floating sensa- tion, with no sense of up or down.‘ Breadalbane Has Concert The annual school concert of Breadalbane village school was held in the hall on Saturday.

TOLERANCE IS PROBLEM How well humans can tolerate this sensation is one of the prob- lems in space travel. Humans aboard space ships coasting to the moon would be in this con- dition for days or weeks. His total journey upward in the rocket and the beginning of his descent could last only a few minutes. _ _ But it would take him into a fantastic electrical sea. From some 50 miles high to his top through the ionosphere, the sea of electrified atoms which reflects radio waves back to earth. This writhing electrical ocean is created by cruel ultraviolet and x-rays from the sun which rip electrons out of «atoms of oxygen and nitrogen. WOULD ENCOUNTER RAYS The radiation would pelt the rocket, and x-rays, at least, likely shoot through the man. Just how dangerous this radio- for humans in space ships is an- other of the problems of the com- ing space age.

Go Anywhere To ' Make Film By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) — “There isn’t a place in this world where I won’t go if I think I can make a good picture there,” says inter- national actor William Holden. Even to Ceylon? “Yes; even though I was mis- erable there, I’d go back if I thought the picture would be as good.” Antarctica? “ (I go there, too, though I hate cold." . PROVES POINT He certainly has proved his point: That film stars can no longer sit beside Hollywood swimming pools; they must go all over the world. Oscar winner Holden is living evidence of that. He used to spend his time shuttling back and forth between Paramount and C o l u In b i a studios, which shared his contract and which are a mile apart. Now he's hustling all over the globe. In the last year he went to Ceylon to make, The Bridge or the River Kwai.
