LvouIl VI uct; Vote Recount At Cornwall TORONTO (CP)--A recount was ordered by Mr, Justice Wilfred Judson Thursday in the Cornwall civic election held Dec. I when Mayor Aaron Horovitz was returned to office by a plurality of 1545 votes in a total ballot of 6,300. County Judge G. E. Brennan will be advised to appoint the time and place for the recount. He had refused an application for a re- count made by the defeated can- didate, Robert Revie, on the grounds that i could not affect the result. : "Obviously mistakes with refer- ence to one, two or three ballots are not going to affect this result," said Mr, Justice Judson in a writ- ten judgment.

O'Neill writes in The New k Herald Tribune. In line with this trend, the present winter can be expected to be well above the nor- mal for our whole period of re- cord, probably very similar to but shightly cooler than last winter and with more than the average snow- fall because we are in a wet trend. } ' : Evidence of the changing clim- ate giving New York City warmer winters is found in the observations made by the local United States Weather Bureau station back to 1871, and by earlier observations back to 1821 made at Fort Colum- bus (Governors Island) in New York Bay. The two, combined, gov- er 130 years. NOTED EARLIER ; Increasing warmth of our win- ters, with a trend rise of 2.1 de- grees in 80 years, has previously been found in the local Weather Bureau records. The additional 50 years of records further establishes this trend and makes it more re- Hable. The trend line derived by the writer from the 130 years of records is from 30.6 degrees mean winter temperature in 1821; to 33.4 degrees in 1950, giving a rise of 2.8 degrees. This is at the rate of two degrees in a century. Warmer winters are being ex- perienced by virtually all regions in the northern half of the United States whose records have been studied for this effect. With in- creasing distance toward the South the warm trend becomes less de- finite and in Florida the climate appears to be in a stationary state. More extensive changes have been observed in the northerly regions on this continent in Europe and Asia -- retreating ice, melting per- mafrost, northerly advanc berlines and crop areas, 'nor- therly migrating birds, fish and animals. MEASURED IN MILES World-wide temperature data makes a degree in the average temperature of a region corres- pond to a ehange of one degree of latitude toward the South, and vice-versa. The increase in New York's winter temperature is slightly less than the increase in the annual mean temprature. If this three-degree change of the past were projected into the fu- ture, it would be equivalent to changing New - York's latitude to that of Norfolk, Va. Another change of the same amount would be equivalent to moving New York to Charleston, S.C., and' a third | such rise would move it to the northern boundary of Florida. | New York was colder 130 years | ago. The nearly thrd - degree | lower temperature would give it a | climate latitude now equivalent to | that of 'Augusta, Me. At that] time and more than a half-century earlier, inhabitants of this and other colonies were also finding indications that their climate was | becoming warmer. | Thomas Jefferson attributed the | change to the increasing area of land that was being brought under cultivation. Dr. Samuel Williams, Harvard professor of that period, in his | "History of Vermont", computed | that the temperature of Boston had increased about 10 degrees in the century and a half between 1630 and 1788. Others made simi- lar computation for other regions. CALLED CYCLICAL Meteorologists of the unchang- ing-climate school insist that up- ward swings of temperature, even those losing more than 200 years, are cyclic in character and will be followed by downward swings of equal magnitude. The evidence of geology, telling of extremely warm, moist, coal-forming climates and of extremely cold ice ages demon- strates that climatic swings vastly greater in magnitude and duration than anything known in historical records have taken place and there is no sound reason against beliey- ing such vast {cycles can operate The earth's climate is derived from the sun, Our sun is a highly stabilized but, nevertheless, a vari- able star, so the earth's climate can be found between the upward undulations in New York's winter temperatures and the peaks of the double sunspot cycle. If these re- lationships are not merely coinci- cental, we are near the warm peak of a 21-year cycle and can expect no high temperature records to be broken by mean winter tempera- tures for about five years. . Farmers Prepare For Soil and Crop Meeting Farmers in every County and District of Ontario are revising their work schedules this month in order that they may. be free to attend the Annual Meting of the Soil and Crop Improvement Asso- ciation which opens in Toronto on January 20th and continues to Jan- uary 23rd. Advice reaching the Crops Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture indicates that more than 50 branches of the Association will have official delegates present when the gathering convenes. Full day sessions will be held in the West Annex of the Coliseum, Exhibition Park, Toronto. Dele- gates are assured of ample park- ing space without charge. One of the outstanding features of the Association's activities will be the Annual Banquet which will be addressed by Sir Andrew Jones, Head of the British Food Mission. The banquet will be held in the! King Edward Hotel as will the Northern Ontario meeting, Special attention will be given to registered seed and potatoes on the first day of the Association's delib- erations with general crops the top- | ic for the next two days. Time will | be devoted to discussions on tur- | nips on the final day. This year, it is expected farmers will take special interest in such topics as Production Needs and Trends", by Dr. H. L. Patterson, More 'Beef Per Acre" by W. P. Watson and Efforts Toward Prof itable and Permanent Crop Pro duction" by Dr. Geb. D. Scarseth, of Indianna, U.S.A.

Dentist Feted For Attending 1300 Meetings LONDON, Ont. (CP)--As friendly dentist has been honored for never missing a weekly Kiwanis meeting in more than 24 years' member- ship. Dr. E. A. Reid, who Has been present at nearly 1300 gatherings in Canadian and United States cities, was recently presented with a special attendance pin. Once he organized an impromptu meeting aboard ship to maintain his record. Now he's aiming to beat the 37- year score of George Hixon of Rochester, N.Y., first, president of | Kiwanis International. Dr. Reid once took time off | from a Hastings county fishing trip to drive 100 miles to Belle- ville, Ont., to attend a club meet- ing.

Heprick Kurt Carlsen, 38-year-old Danish-born skivrer of the Flying Enterprise, kept the world in sus- pense during the Christmas season a year ago. . Since then he has refused more than $2,000,000. - He stayed aboard his sinking, stormbattered ship in the angry Atlantic 13 days until an hour before she sank. Carlsen and Ken- neth Dancy, mate from the British tug Turmoil, were rescued drama- tically after they leaped into the sea. Dancy had boarded the stricken vessel to help Carlsen secure a towline that later snapped. Companies and individuals stum- bled over each other in a rush to get Carlsen to sign contracts. To their astonishment, he calmly re- jected all offers. He says he still is getting offers--and still turning them down.

Anthropologists investigating dis- coveries of stone starvings say there is_a possibility that the civil- izations that have astounded anti- quarians "since the Spanish con- quest of Mexico might have got their start here. It appears certain, they say, that a race of considerable artistic skill inhabited this country before the ancestors of the present-day In- dians. ) NOTABLE DISCOVERIES Discoveries of the stonework, re- markably similar to Aztec and Mayan carvings, have been made in the Fraser river valley and on Vancouver Island. J Latest discovery was made by G. H. Chard of Comox on Van- couver Island while digging on the site of what has long been regarded as a prehistoric fortification. This was an image of the head of a beast, perhaps a camel, carved out of fine, extremely hard stone, It was broken off at the neck and Mr. Chard could find no other pieces. Wilson Duff, provincial anthro- pologist, says the figure has a re- 1 hab i § ad e Aztec Fame about 35 miles up the Fraser vale ley from here. FLED BEFORE FIRE? Authorities here are speculating that great forest fires that deple- ted game and destroyed villages drove the civilizations southward. Foresters in recent years have discovered cinders and ashes be- low the ground that support this theory. About 400 years ago it is believed much of the edst coast of Vancouver Island was burned over. That there was some kina of mi- gration from Alaska to northern Mexico was claimed by the late Dr. Franz Boas, a great authority on Pacific coast anthropology.
