EE a Snow After 7 Years Leaving -the Mother Lode town of Auburn and climbing the long grade of Highway 40 toward the Sierra Divide, the car began to pass snow at thie -4,000-foot level, or about at Baxter's Camp, It lay in patches beneath the pine trees where the sun couldn't reach it, and along the side of the road where the plows had pushed it af- before. : It "had been seven-years since I ter the storm a couple of 'days "had seen snow, and it was a lovely thing' to see aga'n. There were others who must-have felt the same way. A pretty girl in slacks and a mackinaw and. a knitted cap, brightly red, had- stopped her car, got out, and scooped up a double handful, and when I passed her she was getting back into her car eating it. She was smiling, Maybe she was' just thirsty, but I do not think that people who live in the snow and see. it every day for five or six months take a drink of water like that, and smile. You do that when you're seeing ° snow for 'the first time in a long while, You do it when you remem- ber how you ate snow when' you were a kid in Connecticut or Wis- consin, before you went to Cali- fornia or Sacramento or any one : of a hundred other places where it never snows, - Riding with me were two hitch- hikers, a discharged paratrooper named Tom and a young merchant: seaman who 'never mentioned his name. They had been bound across the mountains alone and were try- -ing to get home by Christmas, Tom to St. Louis and the seaman to some small town in Georgia. I had picked them up, one right after the other, on the outskirts of North Sacramento. ~~? Three feet of snow lay over the Donner Summit--the winter was mild. this year and not like that wiiiter of 1846, a century ago--and- . as we drove through the 'pass and down the winding road on the eastern' side of the divide, all around us were granite peaks and boulders.--From "California Called : Them," by Robert O'Brien. Fussy at Fuessen--Two feminine Austrian tourists learn the fine art of dipping their feet into a vat of disinfectant. without splashing their nylons at "the Fuessen, Germany border. All visitors crossing into Germany are forced to undergo the sole- high bath to prevent them from .possibly spreading the 'foot and mouth disease among cattle in - Bavaria by carrying the germ. {Better ThanA Geiger Counter i dosage cannot be reduced. on their shoes. Already, large numbers of livestock in the Fues- sen area have been infected with the death-dedling sickness. A successor to the Geiger coun- ter is announced by the University of Pennsylvania, The instrument is called a "scintillation counter" be- cause it utilizes a, property of some common crystals which emit visible light when exposed to the emana- tions . of radio-active subgtances. Sodium iodide, 'anthracene and even naphthalene, of which ordinary moth balls are composed, are crys- tals of this type, in The visible light that comes from a crystal after irradiation is direct- ed upon the light-sensitive surface . of a photomultiplier tube which, " like a photo-electric cell, converts each burst of light into an electrical pulse. This electrical pulse is am- plified and fed into an electronic coutiting device which adds up the number of rays ahsorbed by the crystal. The number of rays count- ed in a minute is a measure of the quantity of the radioactive mater- ial, : The scintillation counter permits 'the use of one-twenticth, or only 5 per cent, the dose of radioactive material ordinarily required in diag- nostic procedures. The use of the same doses in conjunction with the scintillation counter leads to more precise results, but the therapeutic By Anne Ashley How Can I? Q.

Cobalt "Bomb" A radioactive cobalt 50 cancer "bomb" similar to the two "bombs" recently made in Canada and in- stalled in hospitals of Ontario and Saskatoon now goes from the Oak Ridge Institute to a Texas cancer hospital. The cobalt had to be seal- ed in a small air-tight container and transferred from.a 6,000-pound lead shield into the 2,000-pound "bomb"--all under ten feet of wa- ter. And the cobalt had to be absolutely dry before being sealed. The loading was carried out with long tongs under water because of the cobalt's radioactivity. The unit was then housed in an underground " building, with thick concrete walls, to be tested on animals. When the testing phase of the program is completed, 'the -unit will be moved to "Texas for treatment of cancer patients, It can be used as a bomb to take the place of much larger and more expensive X-ray machines.

You pays your money and takes your choice. : * + + Anyway, it cagie as quite a sey- ere shock to many when they read in a recent column written by Jim Vipond, sports=editor of The Globe and Mail, the following paragraphs: # . iw We hear, indirkctly, that the Nat- ional Hockey Ldague governors will meet in New Y¥rk Wednesday. One of the topics the agenda is said to be relations' with the press. This has' been written before, but it bears repeating: We do not think National Hockey League "head- quarters yet realizes the press is the life-blood of professional sport. Newspapers spend vast sums to keep readers' informed, yet fail to receive the co-operation necessary. The very fact neither President Cla- rence' Campbell nor his publicity chief, Ken McKenzie, has seen fit to advise the newspapers .of this "week's meeting, points up a glaring weakness, LE Ne suggest the NHL governors should take a cue from their major league baseball brethren who are meeting in New York this week. Commissioner Ford Frick and his associates appear to have a much better working knowledge of the importance of keeping 'the press abreast of baseball times. Naturally. the govenors of both baseball and hockey have problems concerning their business which lic, but at least there should be some effect to keep the Fourth gure - became Estate informed of trends, directly and not through a house organ. . * * * To which sentitients a whole lot of hockey writers--even if they do it under ther breath--and an even larger number of fans, will add a heactielt "Amen" and "Thank you, Mr. Yipond." For more and more, in recent years, professional sports of all kinds in North Ameri- ca have come to resemble that critter in the Scriptures. which, after putting on a lot of weight, sh ty 3 % 4 irr SE TAN ra A Jaa ota 2 : a $ - started to kick its stall to pieces." (We just disremember the exact quotation -but most of our readers will recall it. We hope!)

P, Good, working on a Toronto daily, first grouped all the sports news on one page, instead of scattering the items throughout the paper as had been the custom. This, we be- lieve, had never been *done before anywhere, and marked the birth of the "Sports Section." (And, Lawd, look at the darned thing now! * ' * a This grouping, which was widely copied, naturally tended to make the public more sports-minded--as onlookers, that is----and as more and mor&-high-class reporters were as- signed to sports, park turnstiles spun and box-office receipts mount- ed. Team owners and promoters prospered, and professional athletes * not only respectable but highly sought-after. In those days a prize-fighter wouldn't dream of seeking accommodation in a Grade A hotel, or a ball team of trying to eat in a high-class restaurant. Today, even oir "best" people get a bang out of stopping under the same roof as Jack Dempsey, and Toots Shor's New York place is Jammed to the doors any time "there's a chance of Joe DiMaggio dropping in. * - . - Not that there's -anything wrong about this. We've known thousands of athletes in our t'me and, with a few, exceptions, we're all for them, But what gets us is some of the "higher brass" of professional sport trying to high-bat the press and radio, forgetting that the same forces which made them could, as easily as not, destroy them. , * * * Newspaper publishers--a fairly "hard-boiled lot mostly--have been remarkably soft and lenient with professional sport which is, after all, first and last a business propo- sition, They have givén sports free publicity in quantities which makes men in other branches of the amuse- "ment business--movies, for exatiiple --wring their hands in envy. Of course, the newspapers have gained readers and reader-interest by such extensive . sports coverage. But-- and this is the point that those engaged in professional sport should 'by no means overlook ~ if such coverage were to be cancelled, which would suffer the most, sports or the press? ; : Bh Bice ) * Some years ago we happened to he talking to a man who had made Sm Rpg ISSUE $1 -- 1951 » a Ld New and Useful J.

LE * Somehow or other the reniark happened to get under our skin, Maybe one of the kids had kept us awake the night before, or we'd had a battle with friend wife. "Listen," we said to him, *If it wasn't for the sports reporters' all those highly-paid athletes of yours would be starving to death, What's more, if the newspapers treated you like other businesses and only gave you .the advance publicity your advertising entitles you to, within a year, you, yourself, would be looking for a job." . . * For a moment we thought he was going to pop us one, but that's the advantage of wearing glasses.

Creating Life In Laboratory Mecat is one of those things you can't keep out of the headlines. If iit isn't in short supply, it's too expensive. Why is it so important, apart from the fact that there are fewer dishes more tasty than tender meat? What we get from it is protein-- the' body-building food that makes skin. The question scientists are try- ing to answer is whether they can manufacture synthetic protein and the need for 'meat less Can they, in fact, make so make desperate protein? Proteins are the most complicated of all chemicals, They are the basic chemicals of life itself, and we've only just begn to understand ~ them, Now Dr. Robert Woodward, a young American research chemist, has succeeded in making a protein- - like substance in his laboratory. Woodward has taken us:a step along the road towards the solution of the mystery of living matter. Many of the chemicals and secre-. tion that control, our body pro- cesses are also' protein. What "pos- sibilities await the chemist who can make such things synthetically in his laboratray. Synthetic steaks would be only a minor outcome, "Some of the viruses are proteins. . These tiny organisms are respofis- ible for many plant and animal diseases. Inside the body they san reproduce and multiply to give us diseases like infantile paralysis, Proteins are a. link between the living and the dead--and they now come within the "scope of being made in a test-tube, Who knows what the outcome will be? y LET C3 f--our__muscles and. flesh, hair and | a "partment H.
