Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
A star of the sixth magnitude
can just be seen by the ordinary
eye on a clear, dark night. Still
fainter stars can be followed with
the telescope for beyond this lim
it, to the 15th magnitude and
even farther by the largest in
struments.
The division of stars into mag
nitudes is a classification war
ranted by time and has been used
■by many generations of astron
omers.
The average star of the first
magnitude is 2 Vfe times brighter
than one of the second magni
tude. A second magnitude star
gives 2V£ times more light than
one of the third magnitude.
At the observatory of Harvard
College, Edward C. Pickering
1858-1938) devoted many years in
determining stellar magnitudes
with a meridian photometer by
■which the brightness of any star
at culmination may be compared
directly with Polaris, the North
Star.

Pearson Elected
Leader Canadian
Liberal Party
OTTAWA, UP)—Lester B. Pear
son, newly elected leader of Can
ada’s Liberal Party, is expected
to begin consultations immediate
ly with other top Liberals on the
question of when and how to
force a new election.
The opposition party’s national
convention chose the 60-year-old
career diplomat as its new leader
last night in a resounding vote of
approval at a convention. The
former party leader, one-time
Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent, (
is quitting the party leadership
because of his 75 years.
Pearson charted eight objec
tives for the party:
1. A United Canada, but not
born of narrow nationalism.
2. Full employment, striving to
end recessions and depressions.
3. An increase in social security.
4. Expansion but no diversion
of trade.
5. A fair sharing of Canada’s
wealth with primary producers
and the less-developed regions.
6. Financial aid to its provinces.
7. Strengthening NATO. Sup
port of the U.N.
8. An end to the “pause” m
Canada’s expansion which he
charged to the Conservatives.
B.C.’s Premier Says
Frobisher Must Proceed
With Development
VICTORIA, B.C., UP)—Premier
Bennett said yesterday the Fro
bisher interests will be required
by the British Columbia govern
ment to proceed “in due course”
with their northern B.C. devel
opment.
The premier was replying to
Frobisher President Allan J. An
derson, who said in Vancouver
Wednesday the firm does not plan
to go ahead for some time with
its planned $50 million hydro
electric project on the Nass River.
Anderson said there is no mar
ket for power and development is
hampered by a lack of population.
“They knew that when they!
started,” Premier Bennet retorted.
Premier Bennett said if Fro
bisher abandons its holdings here
it would be replaced by other
firms who have expressed interest
in establishing mines in B.C.
