With her camera Lillian

Allen has been able to capture -
and preserve some.of these’

experiénces, The 16. photo-

built on the shores of Hudson's

Bay. Since that day Canada has |

gained an interest in

on ‘the Island. of
-Hawaii. This observatory,
scheduled to be completed in
1978 or 1979, will be one of the
three better facil-

unequalled to by most de-
veloped nations, with a number
of large telescopes and several
smaller observatories scattered
across the land.

In 1978, Canada became a

giving Canada a much larger
field for exploration of the
many galaxies surrounding us.

a brief history of astronomy.in- |
Canada, and its future with the ©

There was no fancy elec-

everybody knew exactly how
many balls and strikes there
were on the batter, how

had made, and how many
hits each player had.

baseball fan never gives up.
In those days, you didn’t see
the fans filing .out early if
their tea was away behind.
We sat tight, waiting for the

Greatest humiliation of my
life was taking a called strike

‘The game still has some of
