The famous Niagara Falls had their origins at Queenston 12,000 years ago. Since then, they have receded seven miles. This program tells the natural history of the falls, the Niagara River and the gorge, showing how the shoreline has changed the falls. Dr. Walter Tovell, curator of geology at the Royal Ontario Museum, and an expert on the Niagara, tells the story of Father Hennepin, the first white man to see the falls in 1678, talks about the rock stratification observable in the gorge and shows many unusual filmed shots of the falls.

The scientific study of the physics of sailing, is a fairly new field. This program looks at scientific efforts to understand why sailing ships do what they do. At Britain's University of Southampton two wind tunnels are used to study both sail and hull action. The program includes exciting film of ships in action, as well as wind tunnel and radio-controlled model experiments.

Not so many years ago, summer's warmth brought the chilling fear of polio and typhus epidemics. These dread diseases have been largely eliminated by modern medicine. But newer "epidemics" not caused by germs or viruses, have replaced them as killers. This program, written by Jack Hutchinson, looks at food poisoning, highway and water accidents from the standpoint of the scientist seeking their "cure".

A look at the activities of the Stormy Weather Group, scientists at Montreal's McGill University and Macdonald College who study the pheonomena of summer storms, especially, the capricious Prairie hailstorms. A visit to Dorval Airport provides a look at the weather reading systems which, with the aid of weather satellites, give instant readings of weather fronts and continental cloud cover.

Science is developing new and better fish, the splake for instance, a product of the cross-breeding of the lake and speckled trout. At Maple, Ontario, biologists of the Department of Lands and Forests developed this new fish for seeding in Lakes Ontario and Huron. This program shows how they did it and how they hope to beat the vicious lamprey eel, which preys on the oridinary lake trout.

This program deals with forest succession. Scientists have recently learned a great deal about the way in which new stands of forest grow - including the discovery that certain trees, like the jack pine, can only renew themselves in burnt over areas. D.H. Burton of the Department of Lands and Forests reports on studies of the impact of forest fires, logging, and the browsing of deer on the growth of a forest; also the controlled use of forest fires to reseed areas. R.O. Standfield of the Department of Lands and Forests explains the effects on forest wildlife, of controlled burning, and the use of chemical pesticides.

There has been great alarm recently over the declining level of water in bodies of water as enormous as the Great Lakes. This program examines the water cycle and analyzes some of the factors that cause water levels to vary: increasingly heavy use by industry and public; droughts; climatic changes; damming; and diversion.
