Mr. Runtz came to The Guard- tan in July 1948 and his daily
cartoons with the ever present cat have been a great source of interest to the public and have endeared him to thousands thro- ughout the Island.
His sense of values were re- flected in his cartoons which always dealt with every day topics pertaining to the local community. He never failed, when it was possible, to inject

Start Work On Air-To-Air Missile For The R.C.A.F;l
By DAVE McINTOSH “Canadian Press Staff Writer
.OTTAWA (CP) —— Preliminary tooling up " for production of an air-to-air missile in Canada for the RCAF has begun, it was dis- closed Tuesday.
Government officials ‘said a li- cence has been obtained to manu- facture the Sparrow II missile in Canada. The Sparrow was devel- oped in the United States by Doug- las Aircraft Company and Sperry Gyroscope Company.
Industry sources revealed that work basic to production of the Sparrow in Canadian plants has started.
Five firms will have a share in. Sparrow production — Computing Devices of Canada, Canadian Westinghouse, Canadair Ltd., de Havilland Aircraft Company and Avro Aircraft Ltd.
It probably will be three or four ,years before the missile, with a
operational use with the RCAF. This will make 11 to 12 years in all since plans were laid down in 1950 for acquisition of an air-‘ to-aif missile for the air force. The Sparrow will comprise the main armament of the successor to the CF-100 jet interceptor now in squadron. service. This may be the supersonic CF-105 now being developed by Avro. “The-CF-100's main armament is an ungu-ided rocket carried in wing-tip pods. Each pod carries some 24 rockets. CANCELLED JET ORDER The ‘Sparrow originally was scheduled to form the armament of a Mark VI version of the CF- 100 but the Progressive Conserv- ative government cancelled a con- tract with Avro for production of this model, partly as a $100,000,- 000 economy measure. The Canadian aviatin industry has long complained that Canada
range of four to five miles, is in
still has no missiles of any type
or any means to manufacture them.
The trade magazine Aircraft said in its November issue that the Sparrow II will not be pro- duced in the U.S. so that any fur- ther development work will have to be carried out in. Canada.
This, said the magazine, will re- create the situation encountered with the Canadian - developed Velvet Glove missile, abandoned in 1955 because the Sparrow was considered superior.
In early 1950, the defence de- partment embarked on a project to ‘equip the RCAF with air-to-air missiles. Eight months later, the first Velvet Glove was tes-t-fired and it was expected the weapon would be in production by 1957,
By after an expenditure of $24,000,000, Velvet Glove was dropped and plans were made to obtain licences from the Ameri- can firms involved to manufac- ture the Sparrow in Canada.

THE GREEN LIGHT
The recently issued report to the Royal Commission on Can- ada’s Economic Prospects entit- led “Progress and- Prospects of Canadian Agriculture” lends as- surance to the view that there is an encouraging future for the_ livestock and meat industry. The report is backed by a great deal of study and research on the part of the commission’s technical staff, as well as the sifting of

briefs presented by four organiz- ations and other industry groups.
The last few,years have shown marked increases in the livestock population here on the Island, es-. pecially in cattle. If we consider the potential markets close at hand and organize our industry for the production of volume and quality of product, the advance- ment of Agriculture will be mark- ed. This of course requires the co-operation of all concerned for the development of the various phases, of the industry. To sub- staniate the thoughts here are “The Highlights” of the Commis- sions Report as reported by the Meat Packers Council of Cana- da. THE HIGHLIGHTS
By 1965 Canada will have 25 per cent more people with 18 per cent more income per person; by 1980 there will be 70 per cent more people with about 70 per cent more income per person
By 1965 Canadian consumers will want about one-quarter more meat, eggs and poultry per cap- ita than they consumed in 1935-
products will rise by about 150 per cent. Total meat consumption

MONTREAL (CP)-—Ginette Le- tondal, who has spent 23 of her 27 years on the stage, modestly attributes part of her success to “c,oward's courage.”
The Montreal actress is to play the role of Joan of Arc in ‘‘T'‘': Lark,” by Jean Anouilh. The play was chosen as the first pro- duction of the new Theatre de la Comedia Canadienne, due to open in a few weeks. '
Miss Letondal shows an uncon- scious kinship with Anouilh’s Joan, who tells the weak French king:
“We’re all a little cowardly, Charles. The whole scheme is to be afraid before the battle be- gins.”
MASTERS FEAR
Says Miss Letondal:
“I’m a great coward, too, be- fore the curtain goes up, but somehow I master my fear and rise to the occasion.”
The theatre plans to present the play in French and English on alternate nights. Ginette is bi-
‘ lingual.
Gratien Gelinas, well - known actor and director of the new theatre, says of her:
. “Miss Letondal has the capac- ity to make of St. Joan a good or even great creation. She has ‘le metier’—an accumulation of experience and talent and judg- ment.”
A knowledge of Joan as a his-
play the part, Miss Letondal said in an interview. Learning it In two languages gave her deeper insight.
DIFFERENT VIEWS
“The English are inclined.to regard Joan as a heretic who
italked directly with God and de-
fied thechurch,” she said. “The French see her as a devout girl whose downfall was brought

torical figure will help her to‘
Among Ginette‘s other recent roles was the part of Queen Catherine in the 1956 Stratford, Ont., S h a k e spearean Festival production of “Henry V,” which won acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland.
In October she narrated the bi- lingual television trib ute to Philip, “Music for her Majesty.” She was one of the heroines of Henry James “The American,” produced for television by To- ronto's David Greene.
In private life Ginette has been married nine years to Andre Roche, editor of a Montreal weekly dealing with the arts. They h ave two children: Phil- ippe,' 2, and Daniel, two months.
When Ginette was four, she was dancing professionally. Her uncle, actor-musician Henri Le- tondal, encouraged her acting and she became _widely known as a child actress on radio and stage.
IN MOVIE AT 13 _
At 13, -she appeared in the first French - Canadian movie, “Le Pere Chopin.” '
Between 15 and 17, the fame she had attained became a prob- lem she says. Like many child actors no longer able to play juvenile roles, she tried to re- main a child off-stage in a sub- conscious effort to win praise and approval.
“Then suddenly I wa n t e d to forget all about acting and be- come a night club singer.”
But the old urge to act came again. Slowly she began to work at becoming an adult actress.
"I had to begin all over again. Directors did not think I was very good. It was not easy.”
Directors in radio, television, films and stage now are con- stantly seeking out this petite beauty. What she calls “coward’s courage” they call a healthy re- spect for the effort needed to play I
about by the bad priests.”
By 'AL’I‘0N L. BLAKESLEE NEW YORK (AP)-—If Moscow reports are true, a daring Rus- sian astronaut“ has kicked open some of the doors to human space travel.
Such a feat would prove human beings can survive the initial to the moon.
One of these is the tremendous’ and sudden pull of gravity at rocket takeoff. His body must have felt as heavy as stone or lead when the rocket accelerated so fast that his weight was, in. effect, increased six times or more.

He coul have been riding in I sealed cabin or container near the nose of a huge rocket.
At the top of his flight, or some- time soon after, this container could be separated’ from the rocket by explosive charges, then parachuted homeward.
This space-seeking Ivan would have a thrilling story to tell.
For a time, he came weight- less when the rocket was coast- ing in p_art of its flight. Briefly he felt a strange floating sensa- tion, with no sense of up or down.‘

“Yes; even though I was mis- erable there, I’d go back if I thought the picture would be as good.”
Antarctica?
“ (I go there, too, though I hate cold." .
PROVES POINT
He certainly has proved his point: That film stars can no longer sit beside Hollywood swimming pools; they must go all over the world.
Oscar winner Holden is living evidence of that. He used to spend his time shuttling back and forth between Paramount and C o l u In b i a studios, which shared his contract and which are a mile apart.
Now he's hustling all over the globe. In the last year he went to Ceylon to make, The Bridge or the River Kwai. Then he travel- led to England for The Key with Sophia Loren. ‘
He's back in his Hollywood ha=unts, but who knows for how long?
ALL ONE’ BUSINESS
He expounded: “My thought about the film business is this: all this carping between the movie business in J apan. America, England, France, Italy and all over his ridiculous. We’ve got to wake up to the fact that we’re all segments of the same industry. I think films are going to get more and more interna- tional all the time. The time will come when it will be common- place for stars. director and other creators to work on films in the industries of many coun- tries."_
“I've been homo about five months in tho past four years," he remarked. “If I'm not making pictures abroad, I'm overseas helping to sell them, spending two or three months in Japan, I month in Hong Kong and ‘so forth.”
He took his whole family to London, but only his wife. Brendl Marshall, joined him in Ceylon.
“I was out there alone for I while and I was miserable,” he said. “I sent her a cable asking her to join me because I was too old for such a rugged life but too young to die. She came out, even though it meant putting up with leeches, snakes and all the things she hates.”
