May Cause Ocean
Levels To Rise ,.
111 the spring as giant glaciers
crunch down to the fogbound
west coast of Greenland, chunks
break off with a violent roar and
float away as icebergs. Each year
some 8,000 icebergs are born, from
MG..' "growlers" to huge masses
the size of city blocks. They drift
up the coastline, toward the Arc-
tic: side of Greenland and down
the Canadian roast of Baffin Bay
with the Labrador Current, ac-
cording .o Newsweek.
About 500 a year survive long
enough to menace North Atlantic
shipping, and some range as far
south as Bermuda (1,800 miles
from the Arctic) before they melt
away.
One such iceberg sank the Ti-
tanic, with the loss of 1,513 lives,
in April, 1912. That disaster re-
sulted in the International Ice
Patrol, operated on behalf of four-
teen maritime nations by the Unit-
ed States Coast Guard. Usually
the observers have plenty of
sightings to report, in tlreir prior-
ity radio messages. But when the
Coast Guard's planes and vessels
ventured out for the new season
in May they were surprised to find
an unusually small number of ice-
bergs.
No sightings might be good
new., for seafarers, but the mys-
terions disappearance was a chal-
lenge the Coast Guard would not
pass up. To track the problem to
its source, the cutter Mendota,
carrying a team of Weather Bu-
reau experts, last week nosed out
of the American base at Argen-
tina, Newfoundland, in a high gale.
For three weeks the observers
would pry into the forbidding ,
1,400 -anile west coast of Greenland
to see if icebergs were still being
produced.
A tentative theory was that the
lack of bergs resulted from a ser-
ies of mild winters in Greenland
-last winter was 10 degrees wann-
er than normal. In Los Angeles,
Dr. Hans Ahlnlann, director of
the Swedish Geographical Insti-
tute, reported an "enormous" rise
in average Arctic temperatures
since 1900. If the trend continued
globally to the extent of melting
the Antarctic ice regions as well
as the plain Greenland ice cap, he
warned, ocean levels would some
day rise to inundate the coastal
plains of the continents. Already,
the increased navigable season
around Spitsbergen and Northern
Russia was a matter of "world
strategic importance."
Modern Rustlers
Travel by Truck
Saskatchewan ranchers' action in
posting standing rewards for the
arrest and conviction of cattle rust-
lers provides an interesting remind-
er that much of Western Canada
still is pioneer country, although the
old "aril(] tvest" is gone, says The
.Edmonton Journal. Present day
rustlers do not face the prospect
of being hanged to the nearest tree
if caught, but posting standing re-
wards of $100 indicates ranchers
feel the need for vigilance in pro-
tecting their stock. The money
may bring in information that will
assist the police in rounding up the
thieves,
Stockmen admit rustling has dc -
creased following the postwar bootn
in black market beef, But they
claim enough livestock still is stolen
to warrant the payment of rewards
for capture of the thieves.
India, after the United States
and the United Kingdom, is Can-
ada's third best customer.
Ra.nbow Corner is Start of New Horizon -Rainbow Corner is open again. A former military
- club at Picadilly, Loudon, has re -opened for interviews of some of the 7,000 Britons who
will fly on priority air passages to Ontario, under a new scheme just announced by Mr. J.
S. P. Armstrong, Agent -General for the Province. Called `Operation New 1-Iorizon' the
plan provides specially selected immigrants with all arrangements to fly to their new homes.
Hopeful immigrants are shown writing out application forms at Rainbow Corner, beneath
the badge of the Province of Ontario.
Sports -- A tl d me Thing
t r Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic")
Professional basketball has been
tried in the city of Toronto -tried,
and found wanting in just one vital
essential. Tfie advance ballyhoo was
o -nate and gaudy; press and radio
support most generous; players were
of the All Star Variety although,
at tinges, they did perform as though
they hadn't been properly introduced
to one another. Just one thing was
lacking -namely, cash customers in
sufficiently paying; quantities.
4: k. l •
Putting it baldly, the whole thing
was a promotional flop; and while
it's easy to be wise after the event.
there were those of us who pointed
out to the promoters -or tried to
-what a mistake they were matting
right from the start. They overlook-
ed the fact that, while 1000 custom-
ers at $2,50 apiece put just as much
dough in the cash -register as 5000
at four -bits, it is by no means tete
sante thing in the matter of building
ftp n followit'r. Instead of making
sure that the joist was packed -even
with dead -heads -- for their first
half-dozen gauges, they acted as if
all they had to do was open the
doors and have folks come a-crmad-
ing, cash in hand And there's no-
thing as chilling as a couple of thou-
sand people trying to sound enthu-
siastic in a place built to hold seven
or eight times that many.

DISAPPOINTt1!ENT. There is
said to have been gr'e'at anticipation
among the black flies and nlosqui-
quitocs of Northern Ontario al the
news of the eminent Gypsy Rose
Lee visiting those parts. Some of
then] were even rumored as trying
to 1!114 Bach's "Air for the G-
Strinp" as they hotted and stropped
their stingers. But, alas, Miss Lee,
like a good trouper, keeps profes-
sional costume for professional op-
Pedro/ices, and so presents no softer
target than any average camper.

A reverend gentleman has re-
cently conte out with a heated blast
against wrestling and wrestlers
`v✓a:rare Looms o11 Great Lakes Waterfront --With the Can-
a Hatt Seamen's Union's ex -president, Pat Sullivan, beading a
r vel talion which seems to meet with the approval of some
shipowners, the C.S.L1, is struggling to maintain its siva;
a some organized labor on the Great Lakes, Harry Davis,
light, new president, declares his union is not anxious for strike
battles, but that if shipping companies break contracts his Bien
will tie up shipping. Cyril Lenton, national treasurer, and T.
G. IleManus, secretary, help Davis count strike ballots in
last year's waterfront fray"
-one which we think is somewhat
unfair. Having been, in our time,
mixed up more closely than most
folks with the - sport, business,
racket, call what you like - of
wrestling, we feel in a position to
speak by the book. And while we
have seen wrestling fans, male and
female, stirred by excitement to
actions that were hardly either po-
lite or elevating -well, the might
say the very saute regarding what
we have witnessed at, say, a Rev.
Billy Sunday Tabernacle.

As for the grapplers personally -
take them by and large, the quietest,
decentest, best -living bunch you'll
find in any line of physical endea-
vor. Wrestling two, three and four
times a week, they haven't the tune,
even if they had the inclination, for
any
real Cain -raising outside the
ring. If some of their antics verge
on the crude -well, as Shakespere
said, "the drama's laws the drama's
patrons give"; and modern wrest-
ling is all of 90 per cent drama.
Anyway, the are proud to count a
large number of wrestlers, as well
as many Ministers, among our per-
sonal friends. And if we don't
happen to attend wrestling matches
as often as we used to, the same
goes for Church service as well.

Looking at some cherries priced at
$2.00 per basket not long ago, we,
overheard an old -tinter say to his
companion, `1 can remember the
time when we could buy cherries
like those as lone as 25c a basket."
Then, after a pause, ire added, "Yes;
and the taco -bits was just as hard to
eget hold of as the two dollars is
nowadays,"

Swimming front Ireland to Scot-
land a long-distance swimmer re-
cently covered the 28 miles of tur-
bulent water in. slightly over 14
hours. If you have any Scots
friends, suggest to them that if
he'd swunt the other way his eager-
ness to.escape would have probably
made ]nim cut the time in half.
Then prepare to duck, but fast!

BRICKS AND LUMBER ONLY?
It is reported that once Provincial
Govern went has been informing
prospcctide settlers front Britain
that, here in our beloved Ontario,
they can expect to buy comfortable
homes for around $3000 per copy.
If such is the case, we do hope they
tore, they would probably have to do

Tour by Airliner
-The Japanese beetle, since its
arrival in New Jersey some 30 -odd
years ago, has given evidence of be-
ing much pleased with what it has
seen and eaten of this country in
more than a score of states, says the
New York Herald Tribune.
The ambitious insect is well aware
of the value of air transport in get-
ting around a land so much larger
than its original home in the Pa-
cific. Every Summer it makes use of
planes, travelling as a stowaway or
hitch hiker, and conning aboard
clinging boldly to some traveller who
may be munching liana bean vines in
Ohio a few hours later.
Now the Department of Agricul-
ture's Bureau of Entomology and
Plant Quarantine has employed five
girls to serve as inspectors at La-
Guardia Field, with the duty of
watching for outbound beetles at-
tached to the back of a gabardine
suit or iridescently ornamenting a
wash frock.
Whai Science is Doing
Casein Brie3es
Iiog (,tittles send" ti, be fighting
a losing battle. Ler ; years ago. such
bristles were us i ju watches until
distil:1..1,d by the hair sprint; of steel.
And for a long tittle tllc hog was
the antlivputcd leader in the produc-
tion t,i quality ',HSI les for paint
brushes, writes W. P. K. in The
Christian SCRIM! Alouilor,
Daring the war, lintvrver, the hog
was forced to take ;t barb seat by
the appearance of s.ntle•tie bristles
of various kinds, Anul now there is
a new threat to his former monop-
oly.
A mistilre of casein, obtained
from skint milli, and water is ex-
truded through a suitable die and
then subjected to finishing opera-
tions The resulting hart]:• k round

hair or bilat pig bristle and can be
produced in any length or diameter
desired.
T'he rast•in bristles etre Said to be
particularly well adapted for use in
Paint brushes because they are re-
sistant to oils and organic solt'ents.
In defense of the local hogs it
probably should be mentioned that
most of tate hog bristle's used here
conte from China and Europe. Not,
we hasten to add, that c,ur domestic
hogs couldn't raise nice bristles. 1t is
just that the local bristles are not
long enough, due to the fact that
American hog raisers do not, as a
rule, keep boars long enough to grow
bristles of the desired length.
