18 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, January 10, 1958 | ea FATE OF INDO-CHINA PRECARIOUS The battle for Indo - China has reached a crucial stage as an estimated 130,000 guerrilla. troops under Gen. Ho Chi Min are at- tacking French and native troops from all directions. Gen. Ho's forces are well supplied with small arms and light artillery and are well trained in guerrilla warfare, The French have an advantage in air power, tanks and guns, but most observers say that superior numbers wil decide the battles in favor of Ho's Communist forces. Top photo shows a group of infantry- men escorting a tank column to the relief of besieged parachute | troops dropped ahead of main French army. Some idea of the nature of the fighting is shown above, as a French machine- gunner sprays the road ahead to flush guerrillas hiding in the foli- age, --Central Press Canadian Photos. Government Moves To Save Mourning Doves WASHINGTON -- An intensive government study of diseases and habitat factors has been added to strict enforcement of game laws in an effort to keep the familiar mourning dove from following his first cousin, the passenger pigeon, into extinction. Indiscriminate hunting of the passenger pigeon, which once dark- ened United States skies in flocks of more than a billion, is blamed for disappearance of the bird, al- though deforestation was a con- tributing factor, says the National Geographic Society. Chances of saving the mourning dove and increasing its numbers are believed to be good, as most states classify it as a songbird. Only in the south and southeast, where a steady decline in the dove population has been noted, and a few scattered western and northern states, can the birds be hunted as game. In addition, the season is brief and the bag limit small. BAITING OUTLAWED Conservation methods include en- forcement of seasons and a re- striction forbidding shooting of doves except between noon and sundown. This saves the birds on their morning forage flights. To date no effective remedy has been found for decreases due to disease and change in land use, Wardens also are enforcing laws against baiting. In this illegal prac- tice fields are strewn with grain and the birds are slaughtered when they appear for food. In some areas hunting partite of a score or more would conceal themselves in blinds around the baited fields. The mourning dove is chiefly noted Sor its call, which has been variously described as suggestin "hopeless mourning or the tend : can be distinguished by the whist- ling sound of its wings in flight. Another distinction is the nest. an astonishingly poor makeshift of | a handful of twigs so loosely thrown | together that the eggs are forever in danger of rolling out. Sometimes the doves overcome this hazard by adopting the abandoned nests of other birds more skillful at home- building. Doves raise broods three or four times a year. Usually two eggs are |laid. Although a few doves are found in the northern states during the winter, most migrate, and a [few fly as far south as Panama. NOT PEACEFUL The birds are rather small as game but larger than most song- birds. They are generally slightly more than 12 inches long, with the full bodies and small heads char- acteristic of all doves and pigeons. The prevailing color is olive brown above and reddish or greyish brown beneath. They have long, tapering that have been known to freeze fast to the ground during ice storms. : Doves feed primarily on wild grass seeds and grain when it is available, They will visit feeding platforms, where they belie their reputation as birds of peace, driv- ing off smaller birds until they have eaten their fill.

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF OSHAWA NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to section 472 of The Municipal Act that the Council of The Corporation of the City of Oshawa intends to introduce and, if thought fit, to pass a by-law for stopping up: M an chester Guardian Leads Fight Against London Dailies By RONALD MacLURKIN MANCHESTER, Eng. (Reuters) --The Manchester Guardian is planning to publish a London edi- tion using new methods which may revolutionize Britis h newspaper publishing. The plans, marking the culmina- | tion of three years' secret work by a team of scientists and en- gineers, are a move by the interna- tionally-known, 131-year-old news- paper to win a bigger circulation | against competition of London dailies. The orthodox method of publish ing in another city--by setting up a complete newsplant there--is be- yond the resources of the '130,000 circulation Guardian. Instead, the paper will harness modern inven- tions, using photographic tele- graph transmission and litho- graphic printing. Under the new method, the paper will go to press in Manchester each evening in the ordinary way. A proof will be pulled of each page and transmitted photographically to London, 180 miles away. HOURS EARLIER There, the photographic film of each page will be turned into a plate for lithographic printing. By this means almost perfect copies of the paper will be distributed in London and southern England 3% hours earlier than the Gurdian can get copies there now. Although experiments to bring about the novel method of two- city publishing have been in pro- gress for three years, the Guardian is only now in a position to place orders for the necessary mach- inery, which will take a consider- able time to deliver. Thus the pro-| ject is not expected to start for | three or four years. i Apart from a bare outline of the | plans, circulated to the Guardian's | staff, the newspaper has not dis-| closed so far the technical pro-| cesses involved. But the fact that | werking so long on the project |stead of advertisements on its front | suggests to experts that the Guard- | page, has the quality of plain hard- jan may have pioneered improve- ments on existing methods of trans- long distances. . It is not yet known whether there will be any variation in the news content between the Manchester and London editions. BRITISH PARADOX 1t is one of the paradoxes of the British newspaper industry that | the Guardian should have readers scattered in many parts of the { world and yet have difficulties cir- culating throughout Britain itself. One of the big obstacles is the English climate which, with fogs | and sudden gales, makes distribu- tion by air uncertain. Y - Although the plan will put the Guardian ahead of it® present London time-schedule, it will still have to go to press two hours earlier than newspapers actually printed in London to be able to compete with them in getting on the streets. The Guardian, so far as is known, will be the first daily newspaper in the world to publish in a distant centre by the combined telephoto- lithograph process--unless others step in before its plans are ready. Ithe fierce fight for circulation in London have set up whole print- {ing plants and editorial depart- ments in other cities. The Daily Express, which has a daily circu- lation of about 4,000,000, prints and publishes in London, Manchester and Glasgow. The Daily Mail with a circulation of 2,100,000 does like- wise in London, Manchester and Edinburgh.

The saga began simply enough three decades ago when Willie decided to 'return to nature." He gradually removed the gar- ments of civilization until he final- ly was wearing only shorts. His body became so accustomed to life in the raw that now he says he's no more bothered by weather "than any other unclothed ani- mal." Willie's quest for health and peace of mind has cost him court appearances in Boston, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco and other cities. It has given him a philoso- phical view of the operation of civilization against the non-con- formists.
