When the news reached Lemont, excited geologists speculated that the Worzel Ash was the first direct evidence of, a momentous event in earth's history' sonte. 1,060 ,cen- turies earlier, either a single monstrous volcanic explosion, a "worldwide volcanism," or a col- lision with a giant comet.. But to Lamont's Dr. Bruce Heezen, each theory has its draw. backs. There is no other evidence •- for a single earth-shaking erup- tion, and the simultaneous ex- plosion of . eeyeral volcanoes seems Unlikely. The cornet theory is considered a 'lest resort" ex- planation. "The really exciting thing," }Ieezen reported, "is that similar fragments, found .well • mixed in Atlantic, Caribbean, and . Indian ocean sedimente,' were also deposited about 100,000'years ago in the period just-preceding the last ice age. If the, ages cors relate, there is the possibility that the earth-blanketing layer. of ash from this event triggered the ice' aid by' shielding earth from the sun's radiation.

Tough Tootling ' As every' trumpeter well knows, to sustain a note of clar- ity, volume and high pitch through 53 inches of drawn-brass tubing requires the , lung poWer of a bull moose and the finesse of a brindled gnu. What few trumpeters knew, is that while tootlingthey approximate the effects of. "a formidable ValsalYa maneuver,' hard noSe-blOW with nostrils and mouth blocked. To find out just how formidable the effects are, London's Dr. E. P. SharpeysSchafer and Califeie nia Musician Maurice Faulkner last summer sat down in Lon- don. Faulkner' huffed his way through several trumpet pas- sages, including a phrase from Wolfram's Song to,, the Evening Star in Act III of Tarinhauser, Th reporting their findings iti the British Medical -Journal, the re- searchers noted that: It seems to require greater pressure to play the trumpet than any other commonly used instrument.

Prom TIME. Life is full of surprises - some good, some bad, - You never" know what is just around the corner. Last week I was: very concerned about an elderly lady who had fallen and broken her hip. I had just mailed -a let- ter of sympathy to her when bad news .came to our own 'fa- mily. Paitnei's oldest brother, living in North Tot-Onto, had died quite suddenly. His pass- ing is a great loss to all his family - wife, daughter, bro- thers and sister. He had been brother, father and family counsellor for.almost ,as long as we can remember. It was he who helped set us ,up when we started ' farming. He had re- cently been over to England to see his only sister, living alone, presumably to make sure .every- thing was all right with her. He had been back home only two and 'a 'half weeks when he was etricken, ,The same night we were over, to his home. There was his hat and coat in the hall Closet; other things, around ,the house' so intimateiy associated with hint - driftwood he hail worked on during, the winter- end yet he was no longer there It seemed almost 'impossible. Some' people 1,e aye a much greater gap than others when they 'answer' the Lait Call. Has passing was swift and merciful, For that we can be , thankful. Also „for the fact that this was the first break in Partner's family, apart from the loss, years ago, of his father and / mother. Naturally there is a btiay time ahead for us for the next fetV days. We are haring another brother and his wife from near Ottawa to stays, with us over the week-end. .Art is ,running everyone back anal -forth:, wfiella necessary.

It was our first experience in that- type of ser- vice and I must say we thought it was as simple and dignified as one could wish. The casket was open when we entered the Chapel but before the close of the service the mourners left the room for a few minutes and in that time the casket was closed. Then-the mourners re- turned and the minister con- tinued the service, the latter part being the equivalent of what ' would ordinarily take place at the graveside. But there was one noticeable dif- ference. The minister instead of saying "duet to dust" said "we release this body to the "ele- ments" from which it came." Then came the final benedic- tion and the service was over. When we left the Chapel the cesket._ remained; with just a few flowers from the immediate family. (Donations to the Can- cer Fund from friends had been - requested in lieu of flowers.) Personally I am inclined to think it was a very nice fun- eral 'arrangement: To me' it was less an than- to stand by an open grave and see the casket lowered into, the depths. of the. earth. Afterwards, of course," rela- tives and close friends went back to the hoine and visited ?while.

He collapsed after conducting a performance of the Messiah at Covent Garden and lingered on . until the night of 'Good Friday, 1759. Is A Cold Cure In Sight? Why do men exploring the polar regions seldom get colds? Exploring for the answer; which may provide clues to an all-im- portant vaccine against the com- mon cold, Dr. William Sladen spent four months aboard a Navy icebreaker (U.S.S. Staten Island) in Antarctica. Last month as the raw data of "Operation Snuffles" 900 blood samples and '1,200 throat swabs, carefully preserved in two 800-pound freezers-ar- rived in the U,S. only a few weeks after Dr. S1ad'en's own re- turn, he offered some interesting. preliminary observations. First of all, .the Johns -Hop- kins* public-health expert report- ed, many of the icebreakers crew were suffering mild 'colds When they left for Antarctica, but a month later, when they reached New Zealand, they were rela- tively free of stuffy noses. After- port leave, however, they broke , down with tiraileasant colds. Then, en route Id'Anterctici, the colds slowly - faded. Even ,so, when the Staten Island -docked - at 'the "isolated Wilkes , Station, most of the men there soon came down with 'bad "calds. Stops at other„bases did not touch off similar epidemics, mainly, Sla- ' den' said, "becaifse 'other peciple had come iir-sfrom-lhe at-Aside earlier. Some of these bases ,a1= ready„had had their outbreaks. . Just, why this strange pattern of epidemics and , shbuld` occur Dr. Sliaeri doesni know. The answer; he explained, must await analysiS,of tthe blood samples and throat swabs which he. diligently •gathered. in Antarc- tica, Until jiow, researchers have. not been able to isolate all the viruses which can be blamed for the common :cold.
