The next refill was over Dhahran,
Saudi Arabita. A tail wind had helped
and they were two hours and 55 min-
utes ahead of the original flight 'plan.
But again the tankers were at the
rendezvous point, ready to fly along
above the B-50 as it kept steadily on
its course. The Lucky Lady II next
came in over the Philippines one hour
and 25 minutes to the good for the
third refueling.
The pilot didn't push the plane on
the next leg. She' flew above 'Hawaii
for the fourth and final refueling 58
minutes ahead of the flight plan. When
the Lucky Lady roared over the con-
trol tower at her departure point at
Carswell air force base, Fort Worth,
Texas, her time was almost exactly on
the planned dot, 9.22 a.m:, Tuesday,
March 2nd. A curious feature of their
flight eastward against the sun's path
was the fact that 'the plane spent five
periods of darkness in the air, but

of the flight; and the first refueling
took place.

of the Department of Transport the
trained weather forecasters have been
Ipuzzled as to why, after carefully
'charting the course of a cold wave
from its birthplace in the Arctic, they
have failed in their predictions.
Weather, 'bad weather, wet, cold
and blowing wintry weather is caused
by the meeting of warm air masses
with cold air' masses, and in normal
years these cold weather masses start
moving down from the Canadian Arc-
tic. But this has been an abnormal
winter and the great mass of cold
air that breeds winter storms* had
shifted west to Alaska. Cold air sec-
ions of this cold air mass drift south
until drawn away by the whirling cur-
rents of a low-pressure area down in
the United States, much as a chip is
drawn into a whirlpool.
In normal times these sections of
cold air would have rolled south across
the middle provinces and Western
Ontario, through the middle United
States, until met and repelled by a
high-pressure area in the vicinity of
Iowa or Nebraska, when they would
curve north again picking up enough
warmth to release snowfalls over the
Eastern U.S. and Canada. So the fore-
cast is given for cloudy and snow.
However, this year the cold mass
rolled south along the Great Divide,
Somewhere in Wyoming it met the
high-pressure area from the tropics,
which sent it curving abruptly north- 'war again. Instead of spreading-to the
east the cold air mass made a sharper I ' ;curve than usual and crossed the bor.
'der into Canada somewhere in the
Lake Superior region. Thus, though
'the weathermen chart this hypothetical
mass all the way, know when it leaves
the north-and can predict its south-
ward movement, yet all'-their predic-
tions are thrown off by that abrupt
curve it takes in the : middle United
States. So, the forecast is given for
weather according to all the rules. of
the past, but the weather has refused
to obey the rules this winter.

BOTTLERS ASK REMOVAL
OF NUISANCE TAX
Canadian bottlers are trying to
bring the nickel soft drink back on
the market by making direct appeals
to members of parliament to press the
drive for repeal of a -two-cent wartime
tax still levied on all bottled carbon-
ated drinks.
it is one more of those .emergency
taxes that continued long after the
emergency ceased, Imposed originally
as part of the justifiable war-time
operation of collecting money for war
purposes by digging into every nook
and cranny of our economy, it was be-
lieved that after the war was over
it would be removed.
Since the end of hostilities there
has been a sharp increase in costs of
production. The tax has stayed on, and
it is a tax that affects more people,
more often ,more directly than per-
haps any other. If the '25 per cent.
excise levy and the 'special war tax
of one cent a bottle were removed,
the pop at five cants a bottle could
come into sight again for the factory
worker and the youngsters who look
on it as a standard refreshment.
From a standpoint of its universal
use by Canadians this tax that has
pushed up the price of pop is a nuis-
ance tax in every sense of the word.

VIDEO MAY SOON
BE IN CANADA
The government will announce in
the House of Commons soon, possibly
before this appears in print, a plan to
assist the CBC in the inaugural devel-
opment of television in Canada. The
cabinet now is studying a proposal for
a loan needed by the CBC to launch
;television stations in .(Montreal and
Toronto. It is believed the loan will
amount to several million dollars.
The CBC has been considering
plans for the establishment of one
television station in Toronto and one
!English-language and one .French.
'language station in Montreal. After
:this experimental stage has been pass-
ed other stations likely would be
started at spots across the country.
Private stations have 'been consult-
ed on the possibility of joining the n „ . .
CBC in a joint, initial development of
the new visual broadcast medium, but
the results of those consultations have
not been made public, The co-opera.
tive idea was advanced` last November
When the CBC board of gbvernors :de-
ferred actions on six television appli.

The 'Takeout Double is one of the
'most potent bids in bridge amid a suit-
able opportunity to use this bid should
not be missed. It denotes (a) about
.314 or more honour trigs, (b) a pre-
ference for a major suit response and
(c) support for any of the suits not
bid by the opponents, or, failing this,
sonic rescue suit. In plainer language,
it says "Partner, I have. a strong hand
and, despite the opponent's opening
bid, I think that we should be attack-
ing, not defending. However, T am
quite uncertain what suit to bid and
am anxious to know what is_ your best
suit; please tell me

Bridge Club two weeks ago and the
score sheet seems to indicate that just
one South player made a takeout
