National Chairman, Bulletin No. 4                                                    -2-




has done considerable astrophotography, that the Hamilton Centre is interested in meteor
observing and telescope making, that Winnipeg, with its own small observatory, is making
lunar and planetary observations, that le Centre Francais de Montreal made extensive ob-
servations of the December 1964 lunar eclipse, that Edmonton is giving its full support
to a project for a municipal observatory, that Calgary is excited about its city' s project
for a planetarium, that the expansion of the Department of Astroncw of the University of
Western Ontario has stimulated the interest of the London Centre. (This list is not
intended to be ccinplete but only to indicate the interest that exists.)

However, not all of the Centres hav been reporting on their activities to the National
Co-ordinators. We would like to know what you are doing in every field of observation.
Your report need not go into much details If your observations are of a casual nature,
a general statement to that effect would be sufficient. If you are making observations
in a field for which a National Co-ordinator has not yet been appointed, send your report
to the Chairman of the Standing Committee. Similarly, if you want help in a field for
which there is no Co-ordinator, write to the Chairman:

We are still a long way from attaining our objectives but we have come a long way since
1958. We are eager to help you in any way we can, and with your co-operation the
Standing Committee could becane a vital force within our Society.
