Cosmic Clock: A brief visit to the Dominion Observatory in Ottawa shows how time, accurate to within a thousandth of a second, is determined--not by the sun as of old, but by a selected star whose course is followed by highly sensitive instruments. Downtown Mountain: Right in the heart of Montréal is Mont Royal, giving the city its name and providing a winter playground with ski tows and toboggan runs, sleigh roads and snowy slopes. Grand Champs: Attendance at Toronto's Royal Winter Fair, showplace of pure-bred livestock, is a thrilling experience for junior farmers like Bob Hern, whose Hereford steer wins the Governor-General's annual award.
