      Transport of the future, an air-cushioned vehicle for use on rough terrain, is being developed at the U of T Institute for Space Studies. Dr. Rod Tennyson explains how it works to Henry McKay.The vehicle would be particularly useful in the far North. The institute thinks air curtains might serve as covers for buildings one day instead of roofs.

      Looking over Toronto's railway yards, Sanford Duplassie, 25, left White River in June when CP Rail laid off workers. There's a future here, he says. Only one of his friends has remained in the north. There's nothing there for the younger person. There's no industry. There's nothing. Over half the town is made up of pnsioners. His father is one of them. Sanford's 11 brothers and sisters are scattered across North America, from Texas to British Columbia.

      Futures trading in currencies and commodities has paid off handsomely for fomer Windsor high school teacher Jim Carroll, who parlayed $750 into more than $150,000. His new wealth, he says, means he might just play chess for a year in 1974. Here he is enjoying a game with wife Mary Pat. Worldwide shortages have made commodity futures a fertile area for speculation, Carroll points out.
