It would be distressing enough to see the Russians or .anyone else smear the moon with sign, painter's ink, • 13tit it would be more outrageous if any man were to flood the Sahara, send blize zards to the valley of the Amazon and melt all the snow and ice at the North Pole, Horribly enough, such stunts appear to be coming into the realm of possibility. Great as is:the present rate of expansion of human knowledge, it must ever be only a little knowledge, and dangerous when applied to seeking loopholes in the laws of universal nature. —Deter Post,- 4s Russians Read Everything" . One of the things that made America great was the deter- mined struggle for self-improve- ment that drove our grand- fathers and their fathers. Knowledge was recognized as, the tool necessary to success. Books were a door to knowledge. Books had meaning, importance, value. Today too few people really read. The comic book, the 'maga- zine with its capsules of infor- mation and great batches of pure entertainment get most at- tention. How many homes do you know that house a decent collection of boks solid, sound books? How many home libraries do you see that are Obviously nothing but decoration — because there are book shelves that need filling? How many new, modern homes are built where there is even a place for books? Beauti- ful recreation and television rooms, yes. But libraries or even book shelves, no. Edward Crankshaw, writer and expert on Russia for The London Observer, wrote these lines a few years ago: "There is no appetite in the Soviet Union more insatiable than the appe- tite for reading . . . The Rus- sians read everything and every- where . . . in the trams, in the underground, on seats in the parks, waiting in queues, at res- taurant tables. Wherever you go, to whatever office, the girl or man on duty will have an open book within reach. "The floor girls, and the lift operators at hotels 'read day and night. The young people read, sitting on steps outside the theaters as they wait for their friends. The waitress will put down a book as you enter a cafe; and there will be an open book on the seat beside your taxi driver." Russia is, going through a phase , ont unlike that of our country in the days of the real geographic frontier. Russians lack the 'political freedom our fathers knew. But they have the same bent for self-improvement, the same thirst for knowledge. The great hope is that the Russian passion for learning, will nurture a passion for more free- dom. It may happen. It may be inevitable. But what of the nation that is already free? How long will its freedom have meaning if it is fed mainly en comic books and television thrillers? — Milwau- kee Journal.

True to his word, the skipper's first job when he made land was to ask for a hammer and with it proceed to smash the engine! An ever-present annoyance to the rum-runners were the hi- jackers — crafty, cunning prowl- ers both by land and sea, who waited and watched where the loads were hidden ashore, then raided the hideouts., Papa Perera was cunning; lent his memory was short, A man of the soil, he successfully foiled the hi-jackers — and on many occasions himself, too; For often he forgot where he'd interred a quart bottle. Even when prohibition had become but a memory, he would strike a bottle with his spade while turning over ground to plant corn or potatoes, often with fatal results to the bottle! Captain Zora was a thorn in the sides of officialdom; but he was a sharp thorn, and knew just to what extent he could foil the law and its officers. Returning in the darkness to the pier with a cargo of crates of beer, Manny Zara tied up and was all set for off-loading when, from the wharf above, the beam of a powerful flashlight settled steadily on the cargo, A surprised Captain Zora pad- ded off to investigate, Behind the flashlight was the chief of police civvies. Manny re- traced his steps to the Mary Ellen. On board again, he glanced up at the dark outline behind the torch and brazenly requested; "Good, chief, thanks. Keep the light on So that we can see what we are doing," Coils of rope were dug out and cases of beer secured at intervals along the lengthy lines of rope. The task completed, the Mary Ellen set off back to the supply ship, moored safely beyond the penetrating beam of the nests light. The crates were -dumped overboard and the free ends of the lines secured to the ship's mooring, where they could be retrieved at leisure. Manny Zora returned to the pier with an empty vessel s happy in, the knowledge that the ate thority of the chief of police ended at the pier. He had no right to board a ship; that was the coast guard's job. ROUND AND ROUND — — The doctor was puzzled. "YOU ought to be better by now," he. said, "Rave you carried' out my instrections?" "Web, doctage;.' said the pa- tient, "lve done most of them, but I can't 'take the two-mile walk every Morning you order- ed'. I get too dizzy.' "What do you mean — dizzy?"

Fiami Torch To Thaw GasoilineE The wind tore rents in the curtain of snow to display to the captain of the Mary Ellen an occasional glimpse of the white blanket that was the shore. No sign of any activity on its deso- late stretch met his straining eyes. Nothina ° but silence as tons of snow fell and -melted in the water, deepening on the deck of the vessel — and on the cases piled there. Inching his way into harbour, Manny Zora "smelt" that some- thing was wrong. His Sense of danger, sharpened by years of smuggling activity, warned him off, and he decided to make for a tiny island north of the mouth of the inlet, Here the crew of the Mary Ellen unloaded their car- go of contraband. Manny Zora retUrned to the mainland to find out what had gone wrong with the organiza- tion and the lorries which were to pick up his cargo, After leav- ing instructions for the vessel to head out to sea and wait, he untied the dory from the ship's stern and pulled for the shore, The blurred outlines of another dory appeared through the swir- ling snowstorm and the distance between them closed. There was no response to his shout: "Hey, there!" Manny shipped his oars and waited. The other dory slid alongside, and Manny's fears were realized as he had a close- up of three tough members of the Coast Guard. Life for Manny Zara was full of brushes with coast guards during the prohibition era in. America's thirsty history, and "The Sea Fox,' by Seott Corbett, with Captain Manuel Zora tells the stirring, rollicking adven- tures of a bootlegger who match- ed his wits against authority by ferrying its supplies of illegal spirits from Rum Row, the ten- dez-vous of a fleet of old liquor- carrying schooners and rusty freighters anchored a few miles off 'the coast of America, Many of the rum-runners were Portuguese who had settled in America and, to allay suspicion, did a certain anment of fishing in small ships. The introduction of the gasoline engine as motive power was Welcomed with all the confidence of total ignorance! When a motor was fitted the owner was instructed how to crank it until it started, how to cut it, and that was that, One morning, a frosty ono, two men boarded their dory, prior to a day's work, The cap- thin cranked until he was ex- hausted. His one-man crew watched in silence until he woe ordered to have a go, He cranked until he could crank no more; hub the engine stayed silent, The captain tried again, without suc- cess. • Getting his breath'-back, the "`crew'' offered the suggestion that Without a doubt the gasci- line was frezein Tile captain agreed and Went to work un- freezing it With a tvecialtich thiele flaming torch:.

Pigs will often enceed 20 years of age, but five years is a fair average for a rabbit and seven for a hare, Lions do not often live be- yond 20 years. In captivity they usually die before the age of 17. Leopards, jaguars ,and hyenas live to be approximately 25, The elephant's normal life-span is 75 years, but sometimes he is "not' out" at a century. Camels are often old and bent at 35. Man-like apes seldom live mug than 30 years, Mickey, a London Zoo chimpanzee, died of senile decay when 26 years old'. Age limits for some other beasts include; rhinoceroses, 45; hip- popotamuses, 40; bears, 35; giraffes, 30;leangarooe, 20; sea- lions, 25, Walruses certainly live to 50 years of age and possibly much longer, while a seal has lived in captivity for over thirty years. Reptiles are very long-lived. Among tortoises, those inhabit- ing t h e Galapagos Islands weighing five to six hundred- weights are reputed to • attain great ages. One is said to have lived 200 years. Parrots and cockatoos are among the longest-lived birds. Although 'fabulous ages should be taken with a grain of salt, there is a well-authenticated in- stance of a parrot reaching 102 years. When lie was turned sixty, Cocky, a sulphur-crested cockatoo, took part in a TV show. " One of the longest-lived do- mestic birds is the goose which sometimes lives to the age of 40. Hens have lived to 19, ducks to more than 17 and a cock pheasant has survived in natur- al surroundings to 22, Small birds live much longer than is generally supposed. A goldfinch has lived in an aviary for 24 years and, stranger still, a nightingale lived for 25 years. CALCULATED CRACKUP — The 1957 Ford above roared down a South Carolina hill at 75 miles an hour, hit an obstacle, lurch- ed out of control, skidded 175 feet, hit a ditch, spun out for 150 'feet more, bounced seven feet into the air and 'overturned in a holocaust of sparks, flame and smoke. Then the door opened and the, driver (arrow) wiggled out — with a satis- fied grin on his' face. He was Carey Loftin, 44-year-old ace Hollywood stunt man and cracking up cars like this is his bread and biitter, His. careful calculation landed the wreck within 18 inches of where he had told the director it would end up. You'll see This crash in "Thunder Road," where it brings sudden death to Bob Mitchum. Grim )ests The late Sir Bernard Spits- bury, the famous pathologist, InioYed joke, On one occasion SPilebury eves attending at a coroner's ecitiet when s another witness, a young doctor, was overcome by the stairmess of the court and, fainted, He was car- ried out and, of eeurseh, Spilst bury, as the nearest available medical man went to Attend to him, The young doctor came to and found himself laid out. on es, slab With the serious face of the pathologist bending over him. The young man must have ima- gined that he was to be the sub- ject of a post-mortem far he yelled in horror..and jumped up and fled.. Another person who got a shoels was Spilslaury's cook. The great man once brought home a specimen from his laboratory —a human arm or leg—and left it under a cover in the kitchen, The cook found it, and had hys- terics, Railway detectives played a lake, and it brought results, They had been worried by lug- gage thieves who somehow got into the luggage compartments of long-distance trains and rifled the suitcases. One day a large trunk label- led "This Side Up—Handle With Care" was put on board just before a train started. The de- tectives were suspicious but had no time to examine it. So they told the guard to place it ur cloven, In a few moments there were loud yells for help from inside the trunk. It contained a well- knownethief whose intention had been to slip out of hiding when the guard's attention was dis- tracted and collect anything of value from the other cases in the compartment. He had plan- ned to climb back into the trunk with his loot and patiently wait until it was delivered to the ad- dress of one of his friends. Don't Mess With Nature! PEEP SHOW—Aqua the sea lion gives a fair imitation of a Peeping Tom as he peers through a window at the Sea- quarium. Actually, he's keep- ing an eye on his trainer, Adolph Frohn, who's cleaning up the animal quarters inside. The momentum of man's pro- gress has come to be an awesome thing, sometimes with man mak- ing an illogical fool of himself. No sooner' has his ingenuity whipped up something epochal like the missile than he puts himself to the task of making an antimissile to eliminate the missile he made in the first place. In' his efforts at self-govern- ment we see him setting up laws then straining to find loopholes in them, so as to escape their effect. He grubs for money to enhance his well-being, but is never satisfied until he has more than he can use, then lives in fear of losing that excess, But it is when he starts mess- ing around with nature that. man pulls such boners that even he begins to worry about ultimate results. Only recently has he dis- covered he can't destroy forests, Overwork lands, transplant flora and fauna carelessly, without suffering unnatural consequences.
