WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN Texas' Northers' Sweep Down From Canada's Prairie By MARTHA COLE DALLAS, Texas, Nov, 12--(AP)-- Pedigreed Texas northers begin in Alberta, swish down the middle- estern plains and charge into Tex- as through the Panhandle, A north- er without that lineage doesn't have the old vim and pep of a champion. But to dispel a part of this north. er myth--northerg aren't indigenous to Texas. A, M. Hamrick, head of the United States weather bureau at Dallas, said all 47 other states had them, only they call them cold waves. In the Dakotas they're some- . tienes blizzards. Furthermore, it's open season all year around on northers. In the spring and summer they're called cool spells. But to a Texan, there's nothing else quite like that day in the fall when a yellow tinge colors the air, a blue bank looms in the sky to the north and an icy wind starts whip- ping the leaves down the streets. It's blowing up a blue norther. Technically, that yellow tinge eomes from dust particles stirred up by the advance winds, gleaming in the sun against the dark backdrop, Hamrick explained, That blue bank is nothing but rain over Oklahoma or perhaps Amarillo. Or maybe it's been hot and hu- mid. The air is still, Then a distant rumble of thunder breaks into a clap overhead and rain comes sweeping down the road, pushed by a wind from the north. It's a wet norther blustering into town. "All weather, in the northern hemisphere, moves sooner or later in an easterly direction," Hamrick sald, pointing to a maze of concen- tric circles, wavy lines and yellow spots on a map, The circles, mostly elongated and never uniform, came from a high pressure area, which, the weather- man added, was a mass of dry air stagnated over one area so long that it took on the aspects of the wea- ther -of that area. That's why north ers form in Canada or Alaska, where snow and ice abound. "Sooner or later," the weather- man went on, "the rotation of the earth starts moving the high pres- sure area east, and low pressure STAR LAUNDRY 13 CELINA ST.

Add a push from a wind from the north, and the cold wave gets to Texas, maybe. If the winds from the south are stronger, it gets deflected. Any cold front coming from west of the Rocky Mountains expands itself getting over the Rockies and is a weakling when it gets to Texas. As for cold fronts originating east of us, we get only the backwash and sometimes not even that. Northers take from 24 hours to three days to get down to us from Medicine Hat or Edmonton in Al- berta. Late Fruit Crops Exceed Estimates The latest estimates of the 1946 late tree fruit crops show moderate increases over former estimates, but the grape harvest was somewhat disappointing, says the official re- port, i Tota] production of apples in Canada for 1946 is now estimated at 16,730,000 bushels, twice that of a year ago and 20 per cent greater than the 10-year average. The pear crop also proved larger than was anticipated and is now set at 867,000 bushels. The total plum crop was 6 per cent heavier than was expected, the crop standing at 680,000 bushels or more than double the 10-year average harvest. A moderate in- crease is shown in the peach crop which is now estimated at 2,111,000 bushels, Grape production was not as heavy as was indicated by former estimates and now stands at 66,216,- 000 pounds, a reduction of almost 6,000,000 pounds on the earlier esti- mate, To Hold Inquest In Mine Death Timmins, Nov. 13.--(CP)--Inquest into the dezth of Steve Kulisek, 48- year-old Schumacher, Ont. miner who died in hospital Nov. 6, nine days after he was injured in an underground accident at the Mec- Intyre Gold Mine, will be held here tomorrow.

CECIL H. LEVY (Successor to B. W. Haynes) Kingston Rd. E. - Phone 161J4 Malnutrition Is World Problem Food problems of the world are mostly economic writes Dr. W. OC. Hopper, Economic Adviser, Agricul- tural Supplies Board, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture in Scien- tific Agriculture. Most of the malnutrition in North America, in Europe and in Asia is due to poverty. Most, if not all, the wars between nations have been caus- ed of real or imagined economic | differences. The elimination of war and the fear of war rests in a very large measure on the elimination of want and malnutrition. One of the primary reasons why so many people in the world are chronically ill-fed is because it has not yet been profitable to bring un- der cultivation for food production the large areas of the world which are still undeveloped. Nor has it | posing been sufficiently profitable to food producers to drain or irrigate suf- ficient additional land, to use bet- ter cultural methods on present crop land, to employ more and bet- ter machinery, and more commer~ cial fertilizers to raise yields per acre. If, and when, the nations of the world where malnutrition is com- mon obtain the purchasing power necessary to make it possible for their people to pay for goods at a price that will encourage the open- ing up of new land for productive purposes, and in increasing yields on present farm lands, the world's food producers will supply the food to satisfy the hunger ang. eliminate malnutrition in these countries. It is recognized, of course, that there is a limit to the amount of land in the world that can be used for food crops, and that the exten- sion of scientific and technical knowledge of food production and marketing will help to feed the world adequately, but the main problem is economic.

IM VETTAY RY CLEANING (0 Stereotypers' Vote Illegal, Union Claim Hamilton, Nov. 13--(CP)--A vote taken by Local 113 of the Interna- tional Stereotypers and Electrotyp- ers Union (AFL) on the question of ending the five-month-old strike against the Hamilton Spectator was "fllegal" because electrotypers in the union did not vote, Percy Bale, un- ion president, charged last night. He said in an interview that In- ternational headquarters of the un- ion had ordered a new vote--to be taken probably at the next union meeting--in which all members will have a chance to express their views. The vote he disputed was taken Monday night. The union called its strike June 3 in sympathy with a walkout of com- room employees, members of the International Typographical Union, who walked out May 30 in a dispute over a new collective agree- ment. 'The composing room strike still ig in effect. Mr. Bale said four stereotypers returned to work soon after the strike started. Five have remained on strike, three of whom have found work elsewhere.
