CRIPPS DAUGHTER TO WED NEGRO The youngest daughter of the | late Sir Stafford Cripps, 33-year- | old Enid Margaret (Peggy), is | pictured with her fiance, JoSeph | Appiah, law student and son of an African Gold Coast tribal leader, in London after announc- ing their engagement. Both Miss Cripps and Mr. Appiah, who de- clined to state his age, said their families approved of the marriage, which will take place in London in July. The couple said they first met at an African Students' Union party in London nearly two vears ago. Appiah, who received part of his educa- tion in England, is the personal representative of the Gold Coast prime minister in Britain. Dog Days of Summer Rapidly Approaching WASHINGTON -- On June 21,!ly do not occur until a month or you feared them more for what at precisely noon, eastern standard time, summer arrives on the Am- erican scene. For the next 90 days the sun will rule the land. Bathing beaches and mountain resorts will play host to vacationing throngs. Stay-at-homes will battle garden weeds. Chances are the weatherman will be right three days out of four when he predicts, "Fair and warm." | In honor of summer, the sun will work its longest hours of the year on June 21, notes the National Geo- graphic Society. It will be above the horizon for 15 hours and 37 minutes at Minneapolis, for 14] hours and 31 minutes at Chattan- ooga, and for 14 hours and five | minutes at New Orleans. | SEASON SREVERSED On this day -- officially termed | the summer solstice in the northern | emisphere -- the sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer, an Snaginary line encircling the earth 2312 degrees north of the! equator. Solstice, derived from Latin, | means when the 'sun stands still." On June 22 the sun will begin its | apparent southward journey. Its | seeming shift in the heavens is | caused by the tilt of the earth's | axis in its annual trip around the | sun. i Six months later, on or about | December 21, the sun will be di- | rectly above the Tropic of Capri- | corn, 23% degrees south of the equator. The southern half of the world will then observe the sum- | mer solstice, while the northern | hemisphere girds for winter. | Highest U.S. temperatures usual- | more after the summer solstice. Once the earth's air blanket gets | warm enough, however, it takes! less sunshine to sustain high read- ings -- even after the sun is well on its way south. September is frequently hotter than June. Sum- mer heat in the U.S. ics. HOT SPOTS Hottest place in the nation is Greenland Ranch in California's Death Valley. Its midsummer mean temperature is a blistering 102 degrees. But America's hottest is not so hot. When heat waves scorch the | Middle West, near the Imperial Valley and bake the East, usually hotter somewhere else. Sizzling Azizia, a little village in northwestern Libya, holds world's official heat record, 136.4 degrees. For consistent fever heat, the Red Sea port of Massawa in Eritrea is hard 'to top. Its year- around mean temperature is 86 degrees. Along the coast of the Persian Gulf in Iran, unofficial tempera- tures of 150 to 180 degrees have been taken in the sum. On Abadan | Island at-the head of the Gulf, the | mercury in unprotected thermom- eters has been reported to climb | to a dizzy 189 degrees. Meteroologists say it has become progressively warmer north of the equator in the last century, par-| ticularly since 1900. They point to melting ice fields, migration of birds and animals, and northward march of plants as evidence of changing climate. Jap Leave | 'Restricted IN KOREA (CP) -- Canadian troops in Korea are eligible for one five-day leave in Japan after four months service. In practice they get one such leave during their year here. Staff officers say some soldiers returned to Canada with their units without having had any Japan leave at all. The leave situation was explained here after an Ottawa government answer to a Commons question March 12 said troops get a five- day leave in Japan plus travelling time "after every four months' ser- vice in Korea." The conflict lies in the . differ- ence between Ottawa policy and the capacity for its fulfilment un- der present arrangements for Com- monwealth - troops. Headquarters officers say several limiting factors make it unlikely that soldiers here will ever get more than one trip to Japan in a year as a general practice. These factors include lack of air space and limited accommodation at the Tokyo leave centre. One Hour Wed Next Jailed LINDSAY (CP)---John Mandris, 31, of Hamilton was married Wed- nesday an hour before he was! sentenced to three years in peni- | tentiary on each of three charges | of forgery and three of uttering. | The sentences are to be concurrent. Mandris was married to Emma Goyleib of Hamilton. Mrs. Velma Thomson, a lawyer, and sheriff Jasper Forman were witnesses. Evidence was that Mandris had forged a total of $53 in small cheques for chimney cleaning | charges to a total of $1,350. He pleaded guilty. ; Sweden's mortality rate in 1952 was the lowest on record for that country -- 9.6 per 1,000 population.

One sees, in broad terms, what he means; but one cannot help * | wondering -- for the dominions of danger are very extensive -- what type or types of peril were upper- most in his mind when he wrote down those three dismissive words. ROSSIBLE CAUSES It may have depended partly, one cannot help suspecting, on his reading habits at an impression- able age; for it is mainly, alas, from fiction that one might derive the impression that readers of The Times are often on the look-out for agents of abnormal intrepidity. It is incontestable that the dan- gers to which authors expose their / | characters have tended during the | | current century to increase in se- | verity. Anyone brought up on An- | thony Hope, for instance, would be likely to form a comparatively mild estimate of the sort of straits in which he might find himself as had no objection to danger.
