Federation urges fewer live animal experiments in Canada
Neal Jotham of Ottawa spoke as the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies urged Ottawa to lead in reducing live animal use. The group called for a national institute to review and develop alternatives, promote tissue cultures and computer simulations, and address pre slaughter handling of seals cattle fowl and trapped wild animals. The federation will seek a federal committee under the agriculture minister to study the issue.

Balloon tests to study stratosphere ozone at White Sands
Preparations begin for a stratospheric observing system using a 25 mile high balloon and a 450 foot diameter payload. The yo-yo style package will be lowered and hoisted 10 to 12 times per flight to measure stratospheric chemistry and ozone levels. Dr James G Anderson of Harvard leads the project aiming for months long flights and solar powered energy.

Scientist proposes yo-yo platform to study stratosphere
The plan uses a suspended winch platform with a flywheel and 120 pounds of storage batteries for early tests. A generator during descent provides braking but cannot recharge the batteries due to absorption limits. Anderson aims to reduce uncertainties in stratospheric chemistry by wide ranging measurements across conditions and locations. A DuPont synthetic line makes the 12 mile tether possible, offering high strength with light weight.
