Manitoba to roll out broad student aid program
The Manitoba government unveiled the most comprehensive student assistance plan in Canada to prevent worthy students from being denied education due to finances. Announced May 1 by Education Minister W. C. Miller, the program targets grades nine through post graduate studies and allocates about 385,325 for the year to aid roughly 2,565 students through bursaries, scholarships, prizes, and loans. The plan is flexible, with funds transferable between sections and adjustments for bright students needing more than standard awards.

Ottawa Engineer Develops Radio Telescope Joint Tech
A 40 year old Ottawa engineer has pioneered triodetic joint fabrication used in a large 60-100 ton radio telescope built for the Defence Research Board. The joint enables aluminum structures to be erected without bolts rivets or welds shortening weight and increasing strength. The dish operates with a mast mounted pyramid framework of prefabricated tubes and 864 joints, promising new views of space far beyond optical limits. A similar 84 foot dish is under construction in the United States for the Dominion Observatory near Penticton BC and should be operational by year’s end.
