WhatiThey SayFACT or FANTASY?BALLOON ASCENT 1783WRIGHT BROS. KITTYHAWK 1903IS THIS IT? (Free Press Photographer and Artist's ConceptionThis is what Wtnmpeggcrs had to say when questioned Monday, as to their opinions regarding reports of. the flying discus:What Is It?H. B. rromislow, university tutor in mathematics: There have been so many reports that there must be something to these flying discs. But I doubt that it's ihc end ol the world. Maybe it's sunspots. And I don’t think it’s experiments with any new flying machine. If anyone was trying out a new device 1 think the reports would all be coming Irom the same area. Maybe I’llbecome more interested in them; right now I don't really carc.SPITFIRE1943Chief Constable Charles IVIac-Iver refused comment: That's not a question ’.o ask a policeman. Ask xnc about something I'm qualified to give on opinion on.One high police official staled: I can’t figure out if it's a cogc of mass hypnosis or mass hysteria. I noticed one man said he saw a flying disc turn slowly over in the sky. Personally I think it was he who was slowly turning over.G SOUNDEDSet To Halt U.S. DollarsMrs. Maryan Kaynbird, of 150 Spence street, thinks reports of flying discs.are “a lot of nonsense. They are figments of loo fertile imaginations. Certainly I don’t believe they are scientific phenomena or a new secret weapon.are endangering the economic status of Canada.That’s what R.C.M.P. and foreign exchange control board officials here said in announcing that the worst offenders—businessmen and tourists—have become the target of an all-out campaign by these two forces to halt the smuggling of needed American dollars across the border.The government announced a month ago :hat in order to keep enough American dollars on hand in Canada and to prevent smuggling of U.S. currency across the line, border regulations bad been changed so that a permit must be issued before a Canadian could take more than $10 in American money into the states.Violations of the law, of epidemic proportions since the summer season started, have urged the two forces to even greater energy and the issuance of stern warnings, officials said.Included in the methods employed to curtail the increasing wave of violations are the close alliance of customs officials with botii the R.C.M.P, and the foreign exchange control board at all border stations: frontier detachments with orders to check and examine all Canadians going into the L\S. more thoroughly; and tighter controls in Canadian banks on the issuance of American currency to suspected violators.“ _ _Rev. ' H. A. Frame of St.Stephen’s - Broadway United church:—Of course I've never 'T' seen any myself, but I feel there’s? ^ something to it. As for what theyj } really are, your guess is as goodI \ as mine. I'm certain that it isn't■* the end of the world and I don’t1 think it’s connected with atomicV-2 ROCKET energy in any way. I don't place1945 any credence in the theory thathead while he was silting in 1he we’re being attacked by any un-legislatives building grounds with known power. Really, I don’ta lady companion Saturday night, give the flying discs any more They kept passing from east to. attention than reports of sea mon-west, he said, and all disappeared slers off the coast, behind the Golden Boy.W. F. English, vice-president of T.C.A.;—I think the whole thing is just pure fantasy. After all. nobody has been very near one of these flying discs and nobody has seen one land. T.C.A. pilotshave not reported seeing oneFLYING DISC? 1.947SaturdayThe FREE PRESSCarried2 2 44WANT ADSR. Ryan, Canadian Pacific Airlines limited: 1 haven't the foggiest idea what they are. It's anybody's guess. No one in our organization has seen one as far as I know. If we could get a look at one maybe we wouldn’t be so skeptical. Maybe there’d be something
