...Anderson's analysis of the photograph (see cut) is as follows: the particle, weighing 240 electron units, enters the chamber near the upper left-hand corner of the picture, making a thin, sketchy white track which is slightly curved owing to a strong magnetic field maintained across the chamber. Its energy is 10,000,000 electron-volts. It passes through a copper cylinder (left centre) and emerges below, much weaker and making a broader line. Its energy is now only 210,000 volts and so its path is more sharply bent by the magnetic field. After traveling about...
...road before midseason because Mr. North, having lost money lately, was unable to induce his union roustabouts to take a 25? pay cut.

...anesthetics. He invented a splint for broken jaws and aluminum binders for bulging arteries. He discovered safe ways of operating in cavities of the chest and sure ways of testing for blocked circulation in fingers and toes. Probably his boldest procedure (the Matas Operation) is to slit the paper-thin wall of an artery which is about to burst, stitch the walls together like a seamstress taking in a pleat, and leaving the artery with a normal size bore. Last week's was the most recent of many honors for Dr. Matas...

Having elected a Liberal government for 28 of its 33 years of existence, the provincial electorate gave its Liberal Government a new five-year lease of life. Social Credit candidates were given only a thin opening wedge in the Provincial Parliament...
