PARADE
The battle for control of the
North Sea and of Europe entered
its second week with the fate el
in
Scandinavia still hangingthe
balance. The important port rt an
d

hand;, and Allied forces were:

points in northern Norway, but
Denmark was gone; southernN Nor-
waywaswas fast falling under Ger-

Ger-
mans using the same blitzkrieg
tactics so devastating to Poland
--Berlin insisted that the portion
of Norway necessary to assure the
success of the German mission
was firmly in Nazi hands. Swed-
en's dilemma meanwhile had ach-
ieved the nightmare stage—athe
e
least, the country could exp
ect t
be encircled; at the worst, it fac-
ed becoming a main battleground
in the new and fiercer European
conflict.
The Navy In Action
The one ray of hope that the
tide might be turned against Hit-
ler in Scandinavia was the agg t -
Sive new policy of the British War
Cabinet. Here was action at last,

OF TEE, REST ORS
Some time ago hematite was
found on the south shore of the
lake, but the deposit was detach-
ed. Then last winter, under the
leadership of Dr. A. A. Brant, the
scientific party used special in-
struments whish enable the in-
vestigator to determine the mag-
netic properties of rocks, their el-
ectrical resistance and their pull
of gravity. Operations are carried
on during the winter because the
ice on the lake makes a steady
base for the instruments.
The exact geological structure
of the bottom of the lake, to a
depth of about 2,000 feet was de-
termined. Dr. Brant indicated
where test drills should be made
through the ice and hematite was
drawn to the surface.
