The Brussels Post, 1951-10-17, Page 2CRAZY WORLD' Theehousewife who finds herself hard put to adjust her food budget to rising prices must be shocked and bewildered in reading accounts lately about the deliberate dump- ing of wholesale quantities of food products she buys. A few weeks ago California lettuce growers had to be enjoined by Federal court action from destroying half of their lettuce crop. Earlier this month, newspaper protographs showed bulldozers pushing nearly 3,000 carloads of apples into a dump at 'Yakima, Wash, And now. here at home, Long Island farmers have dumped beans into Department of Sanitation trucks. In all these case es, the growers explained they Could not sell their products ex - rept at painful losses. For example, the Long Island farmers reckoned that the produc- lion cost to them for their string beans amounted to $2 a bushel. That included seed, fertilizer, spray, cultivation, trucking and picking. They stayed thirty-six hours at the Bronx Terminal Market trying to get some kind of a reasonable price, even a losing one. The best offer they got was twenty-five cents a 'bushel. The baskets alone cost them twenty-five cents. They rea- soned it would be better financially for them to dump the produce and recover the baskets, But some pertinent questions creme to mind. Since the city had to bear the cost of trucking the string beans to the dumping place, would riot it have been more sensi- ble to route them into some of the charitable or city institutions in - geed of destroying thetn? 'And more pertinent, why is there such St spread between the price the .grower gets and the price the housewife has to pay? These Long Island farmers would have got a aeturn of about three cents a pound If they had accepted their best mar- ket bid. The housewife is paying from fifteen to nineteen cents a pound for string beans. Farming always has been a gam- ble, and, seasonable gluts and scar- cities always have plagued the mar- ket. But whatever the economics of the matter, it must seem senseless to the housewife to sec food pro- ducts destroyed ifs these times of high prices.—New York Herald Tribune SCHOOL KIDS ANSWER A marsupial is a city government.

Out in Ohio, Charles F. Kettering, the inventor, is working on the problem of tap- ping solar energy, When he has found out what makes the grass green he thinks he will have solved the problem, Mr. Kettering is the inventor of the self-starter for auto- mobiles. In his retirement he is trying to discover a kind of self- starter for all industry, 'Whenever the question of solar energy is raised it is immediately pointed out that we are already existing on energy, which the sun laid down eons ago, in the form of coal and oil, Even water power is a creation of the sun, since the sun has first to draw the moisture up above sea level before it can be released as raja to fill the rivers behind the great dams. Earthquakes and volcanoes represent enormous amounts of energy which are the creation of the earth and not of the sun, and this kind of energy we could well do without. The sun is also the source of such human energy as is displayed on the earth, for it produces the food by which men exist. The dwellers in Plato's cave had no idea what life was like until they left their cave and came out into the sunlight. Father of those who are still seek- ing the secrets of the sun was Anaxagoras, who ventured to tell the Athenians that the sun was not a god driving a chariot and four across the sky but a mass of molten metal somewhat larger than the Peloponnesus. It took all the elo- quence of Pericles to save his friend from severe punishment for this and similar un -Athenian views on the nature of the universe. Anaxa- gores went into exile, while the Athenians continued to argue about how Helios, the sun god, transfer- red his golden chariot and immor- tal horses from west to east every night. The people of Rhodes went on to build the Colossus in honour of the sun god and centuries later Roman Emperors were still trying to force the cult of 'Sol Invictus' upon their disillusioned subjects. Twenty-four centuries after Ana- xagoras astrophysicists lcnow a great deal about the sun. By intri- cate calculations they have dis- covered the secret of the sun's en- ergy in the transmutation of hy- drogen gas into helium. Last week it was confirmedthatscientists had so far progressed in their experi- ments that fo'r another half billion dollars they can probably apply the sun's secret to the making of a hydrogen bomb. While they are at work the sun will be exploding several million hydrogen bombs a minute, creating enough new en- ergy every day to balance what is given off in light and heat. How to utilize this free and unlimited energy is the problem of scientists who, like President Conant, look forward to another, if not golden, then silver age when deserts will bloom, food will be plentiful and all nations will enjoy an adequate place in the sun. Telling The Time By Your Cat Can cats really see in the. dark? Why are a cat's pupils slit-like when she blinks at the sun but Widely dilated when she has just conte out o£ a darkened cellar? Queations like these are now being studied by scientists and already they have made some interesting discoveries. Only the other day Mr. Ralph Gunter, a London scientist, set about finding out whether a cat can see objects in a room which to human eyes ap¢ears pitch-dark. He used six cats against whose eyes he decided to match his own sharp sight. He put into a dark room a sau- cer of milk which was "illuminated" with a beam of light so faint that he himself could not see it. Every one of the six cats saw the saucer at once. And as it was in an air- tight, glass -sided box, the cats could not possibly have scented the milk, These and other experiments are continuing. Scientists will probably establish that what we call a dark room is full of tiny rays of light which a keen -eyed cat can pick ftp easily, it is known that the pupils of a cat's eyes are capable of being enlarged or distended to a great extent, thus letting in every par- ticle of light. And this enlargetnent of thet pupils takes place almost instantly. Ever tried to tell the time by a cat's eyes? It's quite possible if the weather is favourable. On a bright day, according to Chinese cat -]overs' who have studied '-the' subject, a. cat's eyes are smallest at noon, gradually widening until it is dark and remaining like that un - 7111 daylight dawns Again, When they: - isegin 10. narrow once morC.

At last the heroine, fat, forty, and not so fair, advanced to the footlights. "Oh. why was T born?" she ex- claim ed, "That can't be helped now," carne a retort front the gallery, "get on with the play!" Ilis bagpipe•playing was the chief thing that mattered to him in life. One night, while he Was strutting about the roost, skirling for all he was worth, his wife attempted a mild protest. "Jock," she said, "that's an awfu' noise you're making."
