But later in the evening metro Council voted 6 to 2 in favor of second Reading of a bylaw which will allow the rezoning and the expansion. Third Reading of the bylaw is still required. The residents with a petition bearing 78 signatures against the rezoning appeared at a meeting of metro s committee on planning Public hearings. Imperial Oil limited has applied for the rezoning of lots it owns on the East Side of main Between Alfred and Bur rows from the present r2 category a two family dwelling residential District to c2, a commercial category. With the rezoning Imperial Oil could then enlarge its service station area there to Square feet from s. L. Miller and w. E. Ireland appeared at thursday s com Mittee meeting on behalf of the company. Or. Miller said that after a study of its service station locations Imperial Oil has come to the conclusion it should build five new service stations in greater Winnipeg and eliminate seven existing stations. If metro Council gives the rezoning final approval the company can enlarge its present facilities at main and Burrows and close up its station at main and Bannerman Avenue he said. Or. Miller said the present 48 year old station at main and Burrows is obsolete and an eyesore. He said it is equipped with five service Bays on a lot with a 200-foot frontage on. Main and a depth of 90 feet. The present site was hardly Able to accommodate two service Bays let alone five. He said the additional pro Perty if rezoned would allow construction of three More service Bays As Well As the construction of an entirely new service station to replace the present one. Or. Miller said the land now zoned r2 would be used partly for customer parking and partly for the new station. Councillor Kenneth j. Galan Chuk asked or. Miller what the company planned in the Way of a Buffer Between the enlarged station and neighbouring Homes. He was told the customer parking would not extend As far As the East Boundary line. Or. Ireland said the station s activity would be wholly focussed on main Street. We have no intentions in the Side streets and we won t be attracting traffic into the residential coun. Andrew Robertson re marked that it s not the most exhilarating experience to look out your window and see a lot of broken up derelict cars next to your or. Miller replied that Der Elict cars would t be allowed on the lot. But councillors Talanchuk and Robertson remained unconvinced and voted against the proposed rezoning. Supporting the motion were councillors j. A. Coulter Charles r. Huband lome a. Leech Thomas b. Findlay John p. Sulymko and John w. Mcgurran. William Asrican 152 Alfred who appeared before commit tee said the present service station contains too Many cars. He presented the petition Bear ing 78 signatures from area residents. Brian Teodorowski 160 Al Fred said there s enough traffic there now As there is. When you come Home from work you want to in addition the metro com Mittee received a letter from Winnipeg s civic committee on Urban renewal and redevelop ment expressing its opposition to the proposed rezoning. 11 gave no reasons for its opposition. . Assured metro has housing in mind West Kildonan sent two Alder men to metro thursday evening to oppose a rezoning proposal on the grounds it would jeopardize residential development. But they were told when they got there that metro s is to safeguard such development. At a meeting of metro s committee on planning Public hearings the aldermen Maurice Jeroff and George Strelchuk were told that about 185 acres of land bounded by Templeton and Leila avenues Mcphillips streets and the Canadian Pacific railway s Winnipeg Beach subdivision were slated to be zoned Ai an agricultural category just to prevent further Industrial development. Metro knew that West Kil Donan wants the area to be residential so it was acting to alter the present zoning my which allows Only Industrial development. The West Kildonan aldermen said about half the property is City owned and under option for residential development. The City had been worried that if the land were rezoned to agricultural use residential development would be forbid Den. After the committee meet ing metro Council gave second Reading to a bylaw to rezone the land to the agricultural category metro councillor j. A. Coul Ter committee chairman said rezoning to agricultural use was a Short term measure to pre serve the property for houses and would place a temporary freeze on development until plans for the area were completed. Aid. Strelchuk who said he was particularly concerned since he owns., property in the area asked what was meant by Short term. Coun. Coulter said he was surprised at the aldermen s concern since under the terms of a development agreement approved by Weist Kildonan City Council the area is to be established As a residential District. Earl a. Levin metro s plan Ning director said it was the present Industrial zoning which would jeopardize West Kildonan s development plans if 11 were left As it is. Coun. Coulter replied that in West Kildonan Council is stil worried All it need do is to have a subdivision plan drawn up outlining the Type of residential development planned for the area and then file it with metro. Strelchuk said people should be allowed to develop property exactly As they saw i and not be bound by any development plan. Coun. Coulter said that i your neighbor punks a junkyard next to you you la soon see How much your property will de value. We re trying to get each piece of property to complement the commenting on Aid. Strew Chuk s remarks coun. Charles r. Huband said that what this gentleman i s suggesting coun. Andrew Robertson noted that Aid. Strelchuk Hac admitted he had a Persona financial interest in the area. Having received renewed assurances from the metro com Mittee that property would ultimately be rezoned residential Aid. Jeroff replied i m but Aid. Strelchuk said he in t. Coun. Coulter then ended the discussion.

Activity club by Fox Smith o symbols for Sim Iii Oiler m Brij tet by James Stokley science service astronomy writer although not As prominent As n recent months the planet Jupiter remains visible on july evenings especially Early in the month. It sets two to three hours after the Sun. Still in the Constellation of Leo the lion Jupiter can be seen Low in the West As dusk is falling so Bright hat it is easily located. There is another planet in the Northwest but it s much harder to find. This is Venus which passed behind the Sun june 20. Mow East of the Sun it remains visible in the West after Sunset. July 1, it sets Only 15 minutes later while the sky is much too aright for the planet to show. By month s end it sets about minutes after Sunset. Then you May be Able to see it very Low in the Northwestern Twilight. Neither planet remains in View Long enough to appear on the accompanying maps. They show the sky at about 11 . Daylight time on the first and an hour earlier july 15. It has a similar appearance at the end of the month at about 9 . Although planets Are lacking the summer evening stars appear in full glory. Brightest is veg a nearly overhead a Little East of the Zenith at the map times. This stands in Lyra the Lyre. Second brightest is Arcturus High in the Southwest in bootes the Herdsman. Below is Virgo the Virgin with Bright Spica Low enough to. Be somewhat dimmed because of atmospheric absorption of its Light. That is Why it s indicated by the Symbol for a second magnitude Star. Low in the South stands Scorpius the scorpion with Antares. This is another Star dimmed by its Low Altitude. Two More Bright stars i.e., first magnitude appear toward the East. In the Southeast is Altair in Aquila the Eagle. To the left is another Bird cygnus the Swan with the Star Deneb. Another planet can be seen on july nights if you stay up late. Saturn rises at about . July 1 and at about . July 31. About july 11, when it s farthest West of the Sun you May get a glimpse of Mercury just before Sunrise very Low in the East. Perhaps you what Moon lit evenings. You la have them for about the first 12 Days of july. The Moon which was new june 25, will be a Large Crescent july 1, setting More than an hour after Twilight ends. July 3 it will be at first Quarter setting about Midnight. It is visible All night july 9, the Date of full Moon. July 11, it jul Rise still very Bright around 10 . The last Quarter comes july 17 then it rises about Midnight. July 25 brings another new Moon and in the last few Days of july there la be a Crescent again. A with no planets easily visible on july evenings it s a Good time to. Consider the stars and the constellations. These Are the men animals and objects cer Tain groups of stars Are sup posed to picture even though Many of them seem far fetched. Modern astronomers a v e Little concern for these old fancies. A Constellation is merely an area of the sky. The entire sky is divided into 88 areas called constellations. Some of far to the South cannot be seen from northerly parts of the world. Most of these areas Are named after the old figures with which the ancients populated much of the sky. But you should not expect them to look like those figures any More than you would expect the state of Washington in the United states to look like a portrait of George Washington. If you refer to a City called Springfield you might mean one of several with that name. But when you say it is in Massachusetts you give its general location and eliminate the others. Similarly you might say that a certain celestial object is in Hercules. To one familiar with the heavens this gives a general of its location and when it might be observed. We have already mentioned the brightest stars of the summer evening and their constellations. Other interesting groups Are easily visible even though they have no first magnitude stars. Directly overhead at the times for which the maps Are drawn stands Hercules named after the Strong Man of mythology. Some of its stars form a crooked letter the Bottom toward the South. Alongside toward Arcturus in the West is a Little semicircle of stars called Corona the Crown. This does resemble the tiling it is named for. Toward the South just above Scorpius stands the Large Constellation of also called Serpe Tarius. The first is greek the second latin both mean Serpent the Serpent is the two part Constellation of Serpens. As shown on old Star maps the front end former premiers honoured by group John. D.

He said Manitoban Are now citizens of the world a world which is today facing the clash of two ideologies which contains All the seeds of a third world War communism and the life we stand for. You Are in the forefront of the Battle for what the Western world stands for and your Best armament is the preservation of the incentive to private enter prise. That s the responsibility that rests on the shoulders Public increases in population were now exceeding increases in the rate of food production. How Long is a hungry world going to see Canada providing More than it needs while they go or. Bracken reminisced about his first Job when he was hired by sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1906. I thought he was a great Man to pick me until i got my first pay Cheque a month. And Ali i live1 i to for it was to come Tio and Tell Farmers inv to grow crops without he remembered persuading Stuart Garson 47 years ago to run for the Manitoba Legisla Ture. He was the Best provincial treasurer we Ever had except for Gurney Evans who now holds the and if Gurney was t Here and about Duff Roblin s defeat tuesday in the Federal election hcs said democracy is the most inefficient Type of government in the world.

Associates and i envy him and you the Opportunity to serve was to the right the head named by the Little Triangle of stars just below Corona. The Tail extends to the left toward Aquila. Also in the South Between Scorpius and Virgo is Libra the Scales. Five of its stars form a somewhat distorted Pentagon. This group is one of those marking the Zodiac the band through which Sun Moon and planets seem to move across the sky. The uppermost Star in Libra greenish in color is named Huber Esch Amali and just below to the right is Zuben Elg Nubi. These curious names derived from the arabic like of Many Star names mean respectively Northern claw and Southern claw. They go Back to Early times when these stars were considered part of the Corpion. In ancient Rome when Caesar introduced the Julian Calendar in 46 b. C., Libra was made a separate Constellation. The old names Lave been retained since. To the left of Scorpius is Sagi Tarius the Archer. It too contains no first magnitude stars but is considerably More conspicuous than Libra. Sagit Tarius is a zodiacal Constella Ion. The stars outline a Teapot he uppermost two forming the top of the lid. The spout is on the right toward Scorpius and the handle to the left just above the letters i in the name Sagittarius on the Here also is the so called milk dipper. The stars of the Teapot s handle form the bowl and the two upper stars in the lid Are the d i p p e r s handle. The brightest part of the Milky Way is in the direction of Sagittarius. Perhaps that is Why the milk dipper was Given that name. Celestial timetable 2 Earth farthest from Sun distance 000 Miles 3 . Moon in first Quarter 8 . Moon nearest Dis Tance Miles 9 10.ib .
