].\11 Canada is rejoicing to the victob' of the Penticton V*s •who iast Sunday defeated the Sovlet team 5—O, to
fregain the worId hockey crown,which was carried away Iast year by the Soviet teanu Even before the champion-iships
were started sports faqs predicted that the title woaId be decidedbetween the Canadian and Soviet tcams.
|Both these teams were able to win over a l l other entries a n d In most cases with good margins. Prior to the champion-ishipgames
the Penticton team played an exhibitiongame i n Pragne against the Czechostovak team, which tumed
iout to be the toughest game the Canadians had to play as the 3—3 score Indicates. The above photograph indicates
ia tense moment i n front of the Canadian goal. Most Canadians would have better appreciated: the championship
Itournament had Canadian "sportsvrriters" confined their remarks to the matter of sports and not built the matter
iup into a political battle between east and west. We hope that this matter will be remedied next year and that
f even the sportswriters will conduct themselves i n the Olympic spirit of true sportsmanship.
Lan Machines Be Built to Think?
By J O H N STACHEL
The world's largest and fastcst
calculating macHine was receritly
tumed over to the United States
Navy Department. Called the
Navat Ordinance Research Cal- ;
culator (NORO, it was huilt for
the Navy by the International
Business Machine Corporation
under the supervision of Dr. John .
von Nentnann, one of the top •
experts on calculating machines
in the worId.
It can perform the ordinary
arithmetical operation of addl-tion,
substraction, etc. at the rate i
of 15,000 per second. This speed :
is SO far i n advance of previous
calculating machines that in a
four-hour tcst run i t did more
f tguring than any other calculator
hasdone since it was built.
Tl-e machine open.$ up the pro.spect
|of tackling a number of problems'
which. were previously beyond the
reach of practical calculation.
AVeather analysis, for examplc. ha^
progressed to the point where mathe-matical
equations describing the vay
the:weather is.golng to change can
be set up, but these equations.areso
cömplex that i t would, take longer to
solve them by ordinary means than
to vi^ait and see v h a t the weather is.
So up to now we have depended on
rough forecasts based on highly simp-lified
versions of the weather equations.
Now N O B C can make- that
24-hour forecast in about five m i -
nutes. Forecasts 30 to 60 days in
advance,now seem possible i n the
near future.' This Is only one example
of the host of new possibilitles being
oponed ttp by the new electronic cal-culators.
Hov^ do these caiculators work? Are
they really "glant bralns" as some
have called them.

Against a third greatwar.
The answer to. the second questioiii
is easier than that to the first. No
calculating machine can do anything
more than i t was built to do — perform
rapidly and effeciently a string
of calculations. It must be fed the
iriformation necessary to perform the
calculations: it must be "program-med"
to perform its calculations in
the order necessary to t i m i out the
required solution; and the result it
gives must beinterpretcd.
Sooner or later 'human beings may
"progräm" another, för example, or
feed it the needed Information, but
someone had to set up böth machines
in the first place.
In other words, the machines do
none of the truly creative aspects
of human thinking. just the routlnlz-able
parts. And this is their great-ness,
•:• • •• .••
In this aspect they are faster and
more efficient than tlie human brain,
•which can be freed for vvork the
machines can't do. They open up new
horizons for the higher powers of the
brainby freeing the brain from routine
tasks, which can now be done
with a speed possible to no brain.
Of coursc, the study of how these
machines work is tcaching us much
about certain aspects of brain func-tioning
with respcct to routine tasks,
but the higher reaches of mental
capacity still have to be studied on
their own.
Our discussion of the Interrelätion
between machine and man has ac-tually
outlined the structure of the
calculator. It consists basically of
four parts.
. F i r s t , a dcvicc for translating the
data needed for the problem from
human Into machine terms. This
may mean into holes pimched into
paper tape. electric currents, magnc-tized
wire (likc that in a tape rccord-er>
etc., depending on the calculator.
cSecond, some system must be used
to map out or "program" the problem
for the machine. This may mean
adjusting wiring, using more punchcd
paper-tape, etc.
Third, there Is the actual heart of
the machine, the calculating clements
themselves. These can be further d l -
vided according to their f unction.
Certain elements perform the actual
additions; multiplications, etc. in
the correct scquencc. Others store Information
needed by the machine at
some stage of the problem untll It i.s
needed. They form the "memory" of
the machine.
Finally, the ansvers ground out by
the machine^in the form of elcctrlcal
or magnetic pulses. etc., must be trans-lated
back Into terms undcrstandable
to man by some such device as an
electric printing machine (similiar to
telctype).
The data-inserting, programming,
and ansvverrrccording mechanisnri.5
can. bc rcgarded as informatiori-tra
nslating devices needed becausie the
calculator proper can only perform
i n its v x n "language." The big
problem at. first was that the calculator
moved SO fast that the;trans-lating
devices cotadn't keep up w l th It,
but today this problem Is pretty well
sölved-

if human memory may not i n -

I t should be emphaslzed that It has
bcen proved that the loglcal proccsses
which machines can dupllcate do not

is no possibility of a machine being

THE DOGGONDEST TAIL
By BOB tVASD
One of the doggondcst Itcms to
come to our attcntion in a long tlmc
«•as news that a dog had obtaincd a
permit to drlvc a car in Ontario. The
"nevs" was "pointcred" out during
debatc tn the Ontario Lcglslature
whllst _MPP's were a-settcring and
barkhig at cach other about hlghway
safety.
An unusually unrcliable source closc
to Parliament reports that when Uic
matter was broug^it onto the floor the
Premicr muttercd ••Dalmation". How-ever,
\ve'n adrait that there is a
chance that he was misquotcd.
, Our Informant also confided that
the Opposition was spcculating about
brlnging J . Edgar Woofcr of the
Fido Bo\v-wow Institute (FBI) into
the matter; but of course, this is an
unconfirmed ta i l and would only be
done if it was cstabllshcd that the
llcencc had bcen issucd to a Russian
Wolfhound.
The news about the dog driver
won't come as a grcat surprisc to
some car owners whom we've known.
Matter of fact we've heard quitc a
goodly number of remarks over the
years, about "the mutts who drivc
cars."''..;
Then again we'vc heard other rc-ferences
to drlvers which would cs-tablish
somewhat of a relationship
between them and the canine species.
These references are particularly fre-quent
during rainy and slushy spells.
and are quite often uttered by pe-destrlans
who get splashed.
But to get back to the doggone dc-bate,
it was suggested that i f dogs
coiild get a permit to drive a car,
"they'd soon be voting." The M PP
who raised thte pointer must have
come from a "safe governmcnt seat",
If you'll excuse this dog-nostication.
We can recall very well, indeed,
elections where It was chargcd that'
not only dogs; but cats were on the
voter's lists. And* to be sure, dogs
at least have been going to the poles
for a long time.
Then again If i f s o.k. for the Federal
Government to have horses on
the payroll; whafs wrong with dogs
voting — particularly if they vote
for the right candidate.
Yup. cltlzens, It might be a doggone
good idea if dogs did votc. Dogs,
Weil wager, would bone up on the
best candidate to vote for- and whon
they put the bite on their M P P for
action he'd know that his seat wouId
be in danger at the next election.
Yup, dogs-are smart.
Take the dog who Icarned to play

and then rcmarkcd "pretty smart.
ch?' "Oh! I don't know nbout that",
said the owncr."he's only bcat me
two outof Uvree games."
Justbarklng back to the dog drivers
there are a couplu of problems that
we can cnvisugc. One might be a
icndency to park next to hydrants
at the most pcc-culiar timcs.
Anothor uould be if a dog WAS driv-ing
along nnd saw .n cat. F o r the
way we consldcr the matter barking
up the wrön!i trce is one questlon;
but diiving up them could. well be
cat-.n.strophic.
Howcvcr, most of us will concedc
that dogs couldn-t be much more of
a terricr at tiie whecl than some gay
old doRs .who go wliippcting nlong
highttuys nnd byvvays without a cur
for anyonc.
- I f s this brecd whlch mnkcs us das-chunda
the ncarcst coverlng and bay
language unsuitcd for small chlldren's
cars. •
So altho' Premicr Frost, as In the
roads scandal, may turn a cold nose
to the tail of tlic dog gettlng a permit
to drivc, it is seen that dogs
with licciiccs mightn't be much worse
for safety condltlons than those a l -
ready e.xisting.
On the matter of voting perhaps
Gallup win take a pole on the ques-tion.
After all If we'rc going to
the dogs there should be some snlf-fing
into the matter.
But as we started to say thte te
one of the doggondest taite we've rtm
across In a long tlme —
DOGGONE WR1TE!
Since writlng this column Ilon.
James'N. Allan, minlstcr of high-

].\11 Canada is rejoicing to the victob' of the Penticton V*s •who iast Sunday defeated the Sovlet team 5—O, to
fregain the worId hockey crown,which was carried away Iast year by the Soviet teanu Even before the champion-iships
were started sports faqs predicted that the title woaId be decidedbetween the Canadian and Soviet tcams.
|Both these teams were able to win over a l l other entries a n d In most cases with good margins. Prior to the champion-ishipgames
the Penticton team played an exhibitiongame i n Pragne against the Czechostovak team, which tumed
iout to be the toughest game the Canadians had to play as the 3—3 score Indicates. The above photograph indicates
ia tense moment i n front of the Canadian goal. Most Canadians would have better appreciated: the championship
Itournament had Canadian "sportsvrriters" confined their remarks to the matter of sports and not built the matter
iup into a political battle between east and west. We hope that this matter will be remedied next year and that
f even the sportswriters will conduct themselves i n the Olympic spirit of true sportsmanship.
Lan Machines Be Built to Think?
By J O H N STACHEL
The world's largest and fastcst
calculating macHine was receritly
tumed over to the United States
Navy Department. Called the
Navat Ordinance Research Cal- ;
culator (NORO, it was huilt for
the Navy by the International
Business Machine Corporation
under the supervision of Dr. John .
von Nentnann, one of the top •
experts on calculating machines
in the worId.
It can perform the ordinary
arithmetical operation of addl-tion,
substraction, etc. at the rate i
of 15,000 per second. This speed :
is SO far i n advance of previous
calculating machines that in a
four-hour tcst run i t did more
f tguring than any other calculator
hasdone since it was built.
Tl-e machine open.$ up the pro.spect
|of tackling a number of problems'
which. were previously beyond the
reach of practical calculation.
AVeather analysis, for examplc. ha^
progressed to the point where mathe-matical
equations describing the vay
the:weather is.golng to change can
be set up, but these equations.areso
cömplex that i t would, take longer to
solve them by ordinary means than
to vi^ait and see v h a t the weather is.
So up to now we have depended on
rough forecasts based on highly simp-lified
versions of the weather equations.
Now N O B C can make- that
24-hour forecast in about five m i -
nutes. Forecasts 30 to 60 days in
advance,now seem possible i n the
near future.' This Is only one example
of the host of new possibilitles being
oponed ttp by the new electronic cal-culators.
Hov^ do these caiculators work? Are
they really "glant bralns" as some
have called them.

The answer to. the second questioiii
is easier than that to the first. No
calculating machine can do anything
more than i t was built to do — perform
rapidly and effeciently a string
of calculations. It must be fed the
iriformation necessary to perform the
calculations: it must be "program-med"
to perform its calculations in
the order necessary to t i m i out the
required solution; and the result it
gives must beinterpretcd.
Sooner or later 'human beings may
"progräm" another, för example, or
feed it the needed Information, but
someone had to set up böth machines
in the first place.
In other words, the machines do
none of the truly creative aspects
of human thinking. just the routlnlz-able
parts. And this is their great-ness,
•:• • •• .••
In this aspect they are faster and
more efficient than tlie human brain,
•which can be freed for vvork the
machines can't do. They open up new
horizons for the higher powers of the
brainby freeing the brain from routine
tasks, which can now be done
with a speed possible to no brain.
Of coursc, the study of how these
machines work is tcaching us much
about certain aspects of brain func-tioning
with respcct to routine tasks,
but the higher reaches of mental
capacity still have to be studied on
their own.
Our discussion of the Interrelätion
between machine and man has ac-tually
outlined the structure of the
calculator. It consists basically of
four parts.
. F i r s t , a dcvicc for translating the
data needed for the problem from
human Into machine terms. This
may mean into holes pimched into
paper tape. electric currents, magnc-tized
wire (likc that in a tape rccord-er>
etc., depending on the calculator.
cSecond, some system must be used
to map out or "program" the problem
for the machine. This may mean
adjusting wiring, using more punchcd
paper-tape, etc.
Third, there Is the actual heart of
the machine, the calculating clements
themselves. These can be further d l -
vided according to their f unction.
Certain elements perform the actual
additions; multiplications, etc. in
the correct scquencc. Others store Information
needed by the machine at
some stage of the problem untll It i.s
needed. They form the "memory" of
the machine.
Finally, the ansvers ground out by
the machine^in the form of elcctrlcal
or magnetic pulses. etc., must be trans-lated
back Into terms undcrstandable
to man by some such device as an
electric printing machine (similiar to
telctype).
The data-inserting, programming,
and ansvverrrccording mechanisnri.5
can. bc rcgarded as informatiori-tra
nslating devices needed becausie the
calculator proper can only perform
i n its v x n "language." The big
problem at. first was that the calculator
moved SO fast that the;trans-lating
devices cotadn't keep up w l th It,
but today this problem Is pretty well
sölved-

Wanf Conscription
Despite Tely Lies
The Toronto Telegram's recent
series entiUed "Quebec Changes I ts
Mind About Conscription" is an i n -
vention from beglnnlng to end. R e -
poiter Derm Dunwoody based his
S t o r y that French Canadians favor
conscription on: interviews he sald he
h a d obtalned at Montmagny, Quebec.
Gerard Fortin, representing the C a nadian
Tribune and Combat, French
language labor paper. Interviewed the
same people. and found that the statc-ments
reported i n the Tely were either
lies or grossly dlstorted. Twcnty-three
people including thosc , "intcrvleved"
b y Dunwoody signed a statement for
Fortin cxposing the Tely's lies.
Mr. Fortin asked Brother Basilien,
supervisör at L'Ecole des Freres du
Sacre Coeur, if he lent hIs name to
that papcr's pro-conscriptlon cam-paign.
,.• •
Tlie Tely h a d quoted him as saylng
t h e studehts love summer milltary

Fortin h e hadn't even becn asked
about it, and in fact, because of the
protests of the parents, the cadet
corps h a d bcen abollshed three ycars

Pro Mayor Arthur Lacroixwho hnd

Fortin, *'. . . I must say here and now

Storage of Information ("memory")
is accompUshed i n the recent machines
by sidc-tracklng the electric
current representing the numbcrs to
bc stored Into a loop where they
circulate round and rouhd until they
a r e needed. It te interesting to specu-late
if human memory may not i n -
volvc some such circulating process
In the brain.
I t should be emphaslzed that It has
bcen proved that the loglcal proccsses
which machines can dupllcate do not
cxhaust a l l of the trutb, so that there
is no possibility of a machine being
built that can know everythii;g, even
potentially.
What'arc these machines going to

debatc tn the Ontario Lcglslature
whllst _MPP's were a-settcring and
barkhig at cach other about hlghway
safety.
An unusually unrcliable source closc
to Parliament reports that when Uic
matter was broug^it onto the floor the
Premicr muttercd ••Dalmation". How-ever,
\ve'n adrait that there is a
chance that he was misquotcd.
, Our Informant also confided that
the Opposition was spcculating about
brlnging J . Edgar Woofcr of the
Fido Bo\v-wow Institute (FBI) into
the matter; but of course, this is an
unconfirmed ta i l and would only be
done if it was cstabllshcd that the
llcencc had bcen issucd to a Russian
Wolfhound.
The news about the dog driver
won't come as a grcat surprisc to
some car owners whom we've known.
Matter of fact we've heard quitc a
goodly number of remarks over the
years, about "the mutts who drivc
cars."''..;
Then again we'vc heard other rc-ferences
to drlvers which would cs-tablish
somewhat of a relationship
between them and the canine species.
These references are particularly fre-quent
during rainy and slushy spells.
and are quite often uttered by pe-destrlans
who get splashed.
But to get back to the doggone dc-bate,
it was suggested that i f dogs
coiild get a permit to drive a car,
"they'd soon be voting." The M PP
who raised thte pointer must have
come from a "safe governmcnt seat",
If you'll excuse this dog-nostication.
We can recall very well, indeed,
elections where It was chargcd that'
not only dogs; but cats were on the
voter's lists. And* to be sure, dogs
at least have been going to the poles
for a long time.
Then again If i f s o.k. for the Federal
Government to have horses on
the payroll; whafs wrong with dogs
voting — particularly if they vote
for the right candidate.
Yup. cltlzens, It might be a doggone
good idea if dogs did votc. Dogs,
Weil wager, would bone up on the
best candidate to vote for- and whon
they put the bite on their M P P for
action he'd know that his seat wouId
be in danger at the next election.
Yup, dogs-are smart.
Take the dog who Icarned to play

and then rcmarkcd "pretty smart.

said the owncr."he's only bcat me
two outof Uvree games."
Justbarklng back to the dog drivers
there are a couplu of problems that
we can cnvisugc. One might be a
icndency to park next to hydrants
at the most pcc-culiar timcs.
Anothor uould be if a dog WAS driv-ing
along nnd saw .n cat. F o r the
way we consldcr the matter barking
up the wrön!i trce is one questlon;
but diiving up them could. well be
cat-.n.strophic.
Howcvcr, most of us will concedc
that dogs couldn-t be much more of
a terricr at tiie whecl than some gay
old doRs .who go wliippcting nlong
highttuys nnd byvvays without a cur
for anyonc.
- I f s this brecd whlch mnkcs us das-chunda
the ncarcst coverlng and bay
language unsuitcd for small chlldren's
cars. •
So altho' Premicr Frost, as In the
roads scandal, may turn a cold nose
to the tail of tlic dog gettlng a permit
to drivc, it is seen that dogs
with licciiccs mightn't be much worse
for safety condltlons than those a l -
ready e.xisting.
On the matter of voting perhaps
Gallup win take a pole on the ques-tion.
After all If we'rc going to
the dogs there should be some snlf-fing
into the matter.
But as we started to say thte te
one of the doggondest taite we've rtm
across In a long tlme —
DOGGONE WR1TE!
Since writlng this column Ilon.
James'N. Allan, minlstcr of high-
' ways has denlcd that a dog took
out a drlver's llcence. The dog .
couldn't have signed the appllca-tlon,^'
he told the Ontario House.
"I knnw some dogs are very sxnart
but I have never seen one that
: could wrlte."
The MInlster described the case
"as one of a Forger . . . " '
