New charter company formed A new charter aircraft company will be. operating out of Terrace airport once Terrace Air Ltd. is.granted an operating certificate. Cliff Sharples, one of the owners of the ‘charter company, said the ap- plication for charter license s already been approved and he is hoping to receive work..on the. operating certificate withing 30 days. Sharples, along with Max Neubacher and Ray Skoglund, began working toward the establishment of . the business about a year ago and have since acquired two light aircraft, a Cessna 206 and a Cessna 182. Ther hope to add a Cessna 195 to the fleet. The planes, which carry from three to four passengers, will probably be used mostly for travel in the surrounding ‘area, Sharples There have been fears expressed that Revelstoke could be endangered by Jand faults upstream from the city which could.send slides into the new dam. Consumer. and Corporate Affairs Minister Raif Mair, _ another member of the - Committee, said the. slide said, but can be also be used for longer flights. The air craft available through the charter com- pany are amphibious single engine types with both wheels and floats. ‘ Cessna 206 will soon be available for charter when Sharples say they will be open for business as soon as the company’s Brownies and guides .in the Kitsumgallum district, north of the railway tracks, will be able to register for the coming season at Parkside school on Sep- tember 15 from 7 to 8 p.m. Girls from the ages of seven to 10'.can “join The aim of girl scouting is to prepare young girls for adulthood by getting them involved in social situations where they can learn leadership, independence and good citizenship.

NORAD shows signs of age OTTAWA (CP)- A defence arrangement between Canada and the U.S. designed to detect any threatin or near North American air space was 20 years old Monday and showing signs of old age. As the birthday of North American Air Defence Command NORAD was being celebrated at its.mountain cave headquarters in Colarado Springs, Col,, both governments to make it more effective. At the same Ume questions continue whether . one of the main reasons for the alliance’s existence, fear of attack from Soviet bombers flying over the North, is not long past in this atomic and missile age. On sept. 12, 1957, NORAD came into being, the first, two nation, all service military organization to function in North America. Just a month before, the $350 million, 3,000 mile Distant Early Warning Line DEW Line chain of radar stations under joint U.S, and Canadian operation went into service across the northern rim of the continent, another pioneering venture in defence co-operation. The idea was andis to detect Soviet bombers heading for the North American heartland and to send interceptors to stop them. As the art of war has advanced the job has grown to detect anything potentially threatening that flies - satellites, in- tercontinental ballistic missiles ICBMs, Soviet aircraft that constanti: test the North American defence system, whatever is flying high above the northern sk!:s of the Soviet Union. . Sitting inside their Colorado mountain, in an area mounted on springs so that men and equipment can withstand the vibration of bombs falling outside, and using equipment that ranges from radars to sensitive cameras mounted at Cold Lake, Alta., the men of NORAD are able to track everything up to the “garbage” left by past space shots - used up satellites and such in orbit around the earth. They can tell you waht’s flying in Canadian air space and what the Canadian Alouette and Anik satellites have done in the past and are doing now. NORAD is under the command of a US. general. The No. 2 man is always a Canadian na dhe takes over when the American is away. The deputy commander today is Lt. - Gen, David R. Adamson of Lloydminster, Sask., and Vegreville, Alta. This is NORAD today: - The DEW Line: 31 radar stations from Greelend to Alaska -21in Canada. It stretches 3,300 miles and is shrunken from days when bombers were perceived tobea greater threat. The sites are manned by civilians under supervision of Canadian and U.S. military. - Pinetree Lines: Across mid-Canada under complete contro) of Canadians. This includes smaller camer and radar facilities feeding information to Cold Lake and St, Margaret’ s near Chatham, N.B. - Canadian CF-104 Vocdoos and U.S. Air Force Delta Darts, F-4 Phantoms and Voodoos intercepting and investigating anything suspicious that flies. Information from all of these is sent to ‘Colorado Springs where sophisticated radar systems examine and report, The commander can call on more than 240,000 persons in Canada and the U.S. to report or respond. He can call on fighters, missiles, surveillance systems, radar-carrying ships and planes. . NORADis divided into eight regions, only one of which is completely in Canada - the one under control ‘ef the Canadian Forces base i North Bay, Ont. . Changes are"boming: . Experts are investigating whether the DEW Line can be operated by remote radar-leaving ~ the highly expensive technicians farther south. Canada is looking at complete revision of the Pinetree line, at considerable expense. Both Canada and the US. are investigating radar systems that can see farther and lower . than the DEW and Pinetree Lines - something athat can see over the horizon and something that can cope with the expected Soviet response to the recently developed U.S. low flying cruise missiles, , Canada has decided to spend up to $2 billion onareplacement for its Voodoos. The U.S. will replace its fighters. Critics in the Commons have said for years that NORAD to a great degree is aimed at countering the manned bomber a threat many believe does not exist today. The government and military say that is too simplistic. They say the Soviet Backfire. bomber can reach North America. Moreover they say NORAD is necessary to defend Canadian sovereignty. They say if the Soviet Union once gets the idea it can ignore our sovereignty with im- punity it will do just that. Meanwhile, Canada is planning. changes to give it greater control over ils airspace in the 1980s. . - problem was not part of their terms of reference.
