Eclipse Bulletin No.6, cont'd.


SPECIAL ECLIPSE TRAIN FROM MONTREAL

    The Montreal Centre is sponsoring a special train that will leave Montreal shortly
after noon on the day of the eclipse, arriving in the vicinity of Grand'mere before
4:00 p.m. E.D.T. For the return trip, the train will leave around 7:30 p.m.,
arriving back in Montreal around 11 o'clock. This will give everyone plenty of
time to view the partial phases of the eclipse as well as totality. There will
be an opportunity to obtain light refreshments in nearby communities and box lunches
will be available on the train.  The return fare will be approximately $4.50, with
children under twelve years of age travelling for half fares.   The sale of tickets
will be handled by members of the Montreal Centre.

This special train would seem to solve a problem for those who have no private
means of transportation. You make the trip with others who share your interest in
astronomy and you have no worries about traffic or time of arrival. A leaflet
giving fall particulars will be available shortly. Please let me know if you
would like to receive a copy.



R.A.S.C. PENNANTS

There will be mazw members of our Society on the highways heading towards the
eclipse zone. If arq of us should meet by chance whether on isolated stretches
of the Alaska Highway or on the crowded roads of Quebec it would be rather nice
to have sane means of identifying each other, and such contacts might be very help-
ful to those travelling in unfamiliar country. We have therefore purchased for
re-sale a supply of small pennants with the initials "R.A.S.C." in white on a blue
field. The price is twenty-five cents.

    Please let us know about your plans as they develop. In a subsequent bulletin
we intend to list all those who will be participating in our Society' a progranne and
we would like to include your group.
