On the Eve of IGY
MONDAY, July 1, is a notable date for scientists all over the globe, for on that day IGY, the biggest international research programme the world has seen, gets under way. New Zealand has been involved in this forty-nation effort since it first took shape some four years ago; the entire cost of the New Zealand programme, some £70,000, being provided by the Government. The bulk of this finance is for work in the Antarctic, the rest for intensified research in New Zealand itself and the Pacific Islands. To mark the start of 1GY, the NZBS is to present a special programme, to be broadcast on Sunday, June 30, at 8.45 p.m. Speaking in it will be the Minister of Scientific and Industrial Research, Hon. R. M. Algie (above), who will summarise the Government’s part in the enterprise, and send greetings and good wishes to the scientists. He will be followed by Dr E. I. Robertson, Chairman of the IGY Inter-Depart-mental Committee, and the NZBS also hopes to be able to include in the programme messages from Scott Base and Cape Adare in the Antarctic, and from other IGY stations where New Zealanders are working.
