Star dust rate dramatically higher than earlier estimates
Jed Harvey H Nininger, curator of meteors, asserts star dust falls far more than scientists thought, estimating 113 million tons yearly. A July 11 meteor lit Western Ontario skies and a Dresden Ontario beet field yielded an 88 pound meteorite sold for $4. Nininger notes meteors melt surface layers as they burn, but the overall dust layer would cover only a newspaper page every 1 000 years.

Basic Air Rates Discussed in Ottawa Board Meeting
Representatives from air transport firms study rate regulation with W E Campbell and A S Kirk as the Board of Transport Commissioners tackles air rate rules. A six cent mile rate for Trans Canada Air Lines passengers serves as a baseline for others, while freight in the north and light express services shape the revenue picture.
