ll Pm Were Russians Fooled By Weather Canadians have good reason to know that the wheat cm in the Soviet Union fell below expectat one The yields from the virgin lands put to the plow at the behest of Khmshchev were disappointing to Russian agricultural offlcl The shortage of fertilizers could hardly ac count or the near crop failure in these neiv areas In these regions bad weather was blamed An interesting theory is advanced by writer in the London Economist which may explain what happened it is this reports the Winnipeg Tribune Khrush obey and his advrsers may have been fooled by weather records for the past few decades into believing that the vir gin lands had become grain country The writer points out that weather re cords in England show that there was warm cycle in the early middle ages and Britain was balmy place in ich to live These were the days when grapes grew in England and the peach ripened easily on the wall But about 1300 little ice age set in The whole northern hemis phere grew colder and distress was wide spread it was during this wheatlands in Scotland an northern En land probably fell out of cultivation little ice age lasted with occasional eriod that

egree may not sound like much but it means cm can be grown on land 000 feet higher ve sea level and thousands of square miles of mar that land in nor thern regions brought ack into cultiv ation In ltussla it means that warm moist westerly winds were carrying double their traditional rainfall to the dry lands of central Asia These were the records that Khrushchev and his advisers ma have read But in the last few years this gain of one degree has been lost Chilly summers and longer winters have returned and with them the dry cool winds that have blown over the virgin lands for centuries No one knows whether this is tempor ary lapse in the warming trend of the past century or whether it is the beglnni mg of another phase of the little ice age But as long as it lasts the virgin lands willprobably continue to be nextyear country and Khrushchevs investment in fertilizers for the traditional grain lands will be fully justified We Start With Country People are funny They scream about

among thetoughesl and most hardboiled residents of this great city The nature of their work is such as to breed toughness into them Their Ire quent outbreaks of industrial strife with consequent strikes and sometimes violence has built up picture of them that has not always been very cre ditable it has given the public an entirely wrong impression of the nature of the men who hear die the cargoesof ships coming and going at the London docks Most keen to change this pub lic image oft he dock worker is James French who holds thb office of secretary of the Lon don Port Worker Sports Peder ation He boldly makes the claim that the loader dockers are no longer intellectually and culturally underdeveloped He is going to prove it by series of exhibitions which he is organizv ing for them ART EXHIBITION To start with he is planning an Arts Week for Londons dock workers at which they can dis play their achievcment in this field toithe public Said Mr French am very keeoto develop the cultural side of recreation among dock workers There is wealth of talent at the docks and it is time thiswas brought into the foreground iii the past the Meta on has concentrated iteatteotiou most aod Iy on the or aspiration of sport era will begroups of doeke ectabiiabed and led to Inflow dolo app is small group of ministers Thus the whats cabinet no longer had to sit and tilted to the Milton of points which were Irrelevant to many and the chairmanship of indivith committees homes too and moonst bility to key ministera Atths some time the can our of the liberal party was givui more important role through concludes and dis MIDI at the formative stage of policies This enhanced the importance of the individual back bench MP and senator and made each test that his role was to participate in man agsroent and not merciyto geouilect before an autocratic leader 0301 OF WAY But one further and import ant choice remains to be made Mr Pearsons cabinet today contains 26 ministers including himself This is too large to be considered compact advisory board like the US cabinet of 11 members including the pres ldent it Is moving in also to wards the British ministry murioaaurus which has had to be broken up into three tiers First there is the cabinet of it members Then there are is ministers of cabinet rank who are not invited to cabinet meetings unless the agenda specifically concerns their own work then there are to lesser appointed officialsell MP or memberscf the upper houscu who are described as parlia mentary uudcrsecretarlea and other ministers The whole gratin of 76 makes up the gov ernmental administration But such huge array would create an entirely unwieldy and no workable committee hence the designation of the senior ones only us the cabinet htr Pear son has hinted that he now considering similar lies to reduce to workable reportions the nu ol the retro finial pol icyapproving core oIbtlrmio ofcablnctwen activities for its members Now through Mr French it is broad coing its scope He started all by organizing trips to concerts and the formation of drama groups among the members He has found that Visits to concerts given by the lender Phthar manic Orchestra have proved very popular with them He finds that under present day working conditions dockers now have more timeon their hands than they used to have and that they are pulling themselves away from their television sets to follow more individual pur suits MANY punsurrs Among the pursuits in which Mr French is finding ardeat devotees are painting pantry making photography playing ridge and even motor car rally driving At the moment art ex hibitions are beingheld by the local dock welfare associations These are to be followed by the first aildockers exhibitio to be held in the Esrmoodsey town hall Oil paintings water color sketches photographic display of black and wbileand color pictures and some mm motion picture films will all be featured in this exhibition The demand to exhibitat the show is far beyond our ex secretions said Mr French The problem is to find hall large enough to accommodate it Many people seem to think that dock workers are nothing ibutpbysicai morons This is just not true today The Arts weeks will also include musical concerts in which the perform
