In a moâ€" ment his body was lost under a mass of fighting, snarling dogs. Unknowingly, the men . had landed on Juan de Nova. the island of killer dogs, now shunâ€" ned by all humanity. Only once before had people tried to settle thereâ€"and the attempt endedl in ghastly tragedy. When the dogs gave up the attempt and stood baying on the beach, he risked a walk towards them, shooting another two, and then ~hurrying to a small rowâ€" ing boat which had been left behind for them. He put the girl in the boat, anchored it offâ€" shore and swam back to the beach, reedless of his danger, to try to save his wife and sons. Fortunately for the girl, the Portuguese were worried about the family and sent a naval cutâ€" ter to see how they were getting on three days later. The cutter found the child alive but down to a few drops of the water left her in a waterâ€"bag, and with \nothing to eat. While the sailors were on the island, the dogs attacked them. Machineâ€"guns were turned on the dogs and more than a hunâ€" dred were killed, but this did not prevent fresh attacks. Even when the cutter was drawing away from the island, the dogs stood howling on the‘ beach. The Freemans‘ camp was a shambles. It had been ripped apart and only a few pitiful beâ€" longings were found. The womâ€" an, the husband and the sons had vanished. How did the dogs come to inâ€" habit the island?

THE CASE OF THE ABSENTâ€"BODIED PROFESSOR The ship sank en route but four dogs escaped by swimming to the island. During his stay he rowed close in to throw a piece of dried meat on to the beach. In a few seconds there was a millâ€" ing mass of dogs, fighting and tearing at each other‘s throats in their attempts to get to the meat. Afterwards, several dogs lay dead on the beach. Later they were dragged into the bushes and devoured by their companions. About fifty years later a Porâ€" tuguese fishing vessel put in at the island and came away with a seemingly fantastic report about a colony of wild dogs roaming about, fishing in the shallow water at ebb tide and eating shellâ€"fish from the rocks at low water. As recently as 1949, when a Dutch schooner stopped at Juan de Nova for fresh water, the tough sailors found that they were no match for the dogs. A professor of history of Lisâ€" bon University, who studied the dogs from a boat anchored in the lagoon, confirmed this. ‘"The dogs were big like Alsaâ€" tion or wolf dogs," the Dutch skipper said, "and I think there must have been at least 200 to 250 of them, big ones and pupâ€" pies. The skipper, Hendrikus van Kaltenhoven, told the French port authorities that the moâ€" ment their rowing boat touched the beach, a pack of hounds came charging down on them. ‘"They stood on the edge of the water snarling at us and some came into the water and swam to the side of the schoonâ€" er. But we were already on board. When one of the men shot one of the dogs in the waâ€" ter, the others tore it to pieces. A shark came just then and chased the dogs and got one. ‘"We watched from the low deck as we saw the big sharkâ€" he must have been five or six feetâ€"take the dog by the hindâ€" quarters as it swam. The dog swung its head around and snapped its teeth into the shark, but the shark dived with the dog and must have drowned it before it could get to work with its fangs." Toâ€"day Juan de Nova is still ruled by the canine killers. Neither the Portuguese nor the French authorities seem interâ€" ested in trying to take the island from them. _ And no wonder! Lefty Gomez once got involvâ€" ed in an argument with Jimmy Dykes on how to pitch to a hitâ€" ter with two men on base. After a heated discussion, they decided to get Mike Kelley, one of the most respected technicians in the game, to settle the argument. _The pair found Kelley in bed. "Wake up, Mike," Gomez yelled, "we want to ask you a quesâ€" "Go away," Kelley replied "Wait till tomorrow." "What, and leave two men on base?" quipped Gomez. KELLEY GREEN Wt wree+ Origin Of A Wonderful School We were interested to learn about a school that started in London, Ont., about 50 years ago,specializing in the work of a Railway Agent, which covâ€" ered the study of Telegraphy, Car Service, Freight, Tickets and Baggage. J. E. Cassan, who had spent seven years with the C.P.R. and seven years with the Scranton School, discovered that there wasn‘t any school in Canada that specialized in this work, and realizing that these posiâ€" tions were open only to men, he started what was first known as the Railway Agent‘s School. After one year in London, he moved to Toronto and started under the name of the Dominion School of Telegraphy. and Railâ€" roading, Limited.. Later the name was changed to Cassan Systems School. Due to the fact that for the first time a school had started to teach the traffic work, the railway officials weie so deâ€" lighted that they supplied him with all. forms, Aariffs, tickets, etc., to enable students to learn in a practical way how the busiâ€" ness was handled. It was pointed out that these men on the railway, as telegâ€" raphers and station agents, are performing a national service to the country in the same way as a man in the Navy, Army or Air Force. They are all serving their country, and the school is endorsed and recommended by operating officials of the C.P.R. and C.N.R. Mr. Cassan‘s grandfather was a captain in the British Army and was appointed â€" stationâ€" master at Thorold, Ont., in 1864, at a salary of $400 per annum. Railroading runs in the Cassan family : his father was a farmer and had four sons in the railâ€" way business. In passing this inâ€" formation on to our readers, we feel that it is a wonderful school for young men.

Its heroes are firstly Mr. James Edward Dodd, a frelght conductor of the Canâ€" adian National Railways, in his spare time a mining prospector, and secondly an unknown Norse warrior dead for nearly a thouâ€" sand years and buried with full arms and armour, whose grave Mr. Dodd chanced to unearth.... There was a colony of Vikings in America in the eleventh.cenâ€" tury. It is even pogsible that this colony stood for about 200 years, and that one section of those who emigrated from Vestâ€" ribyggd around 1342 went in search of this outpost in the far west. But that is a long story. This istrange grave was found in a very prosaic manner. On the morning of 24th May 1930, Mr. Dodd discovered on his claim a vein of quartz which looked to him promising and which he wished to follow to ‘ its end. After a few cuts with the spade, however, he came upon an obâ€" stacle. Deeply embedded in the earth was the stump of a birch tree, so hard that neither axe nor crowbar could make any impression on it. In one of the better quips of respond to it.

This year he chose to abandon live TV and substitute a celâ€" luloid version of the adventures of Ralph, the bellowing bus driver; the change was one of the consequences of Gleason‘s muchâ€"publicized million â€" dollar deal wherein he enticed Milton Berle‘s old sponsor into grantâ€" ing him a tidy annuity. Apparâ€" ently the only minor hitch in the arrangement is that Jackie doesn‘t seem so funny any more; in fact, film has made his program distressingly flat. Gleason‘s case is not unusual. A number of Hollywood lumiâ€" naries have been lured astray by the economic or laborâ€"savâ€" ing advantages of film; invariâ€" ably their shows have lost something in the transition. Only a year ago, there was frantic chitchat about doing featureâ€"length films especially for television, even if it were necessary to ask the home audience to pay for them. Now, all the excitement in TV is foâ€" cused on ninetyâ€"minute live dramas without, mercifully, any serious thought of a toll. Is live TV better than filmed TV? Surely there can be no serious doubt that it is. People, of course, do watch filmed TV and do enjoy it because often it is the only way to see cerâ€" tain shows and personalities. But this does not mean that they prefer it. Give the set owner a chance to express a choice and he would vote overâ€" whelmingly in favor of "live." Phil Silvers as Sergeant Bilko and Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricarâ€" do are amusing on film, but who would not rather see them "live?" The only real question is, why is this so? The fundamental nature of live TV provides the answer. Alone of the mass media, it reâ€" moves from an audience‘s conâ€" sciousness the factors of time and distance. Radio can let the individual know what is hapâ€" pening at the moment it hapâ€" pens but cannot enable him to watch it. The motion picture can take one to the scene but not at the moment that an event takes place. In both cases, an intrusion by either time or distance separates the individâ€" ual from actuality. Live television, on the other hand, bridges the gap instantly and unites the individual at home with the event afar. The viewer has a sense of being in two places at once. Physically, he may be at his hearthside but intellectually, and, above all, emotionally, he is at the camâ€" era man‘s side. Both the player in the studio and the audience at home have an intuitive awareness of being in each other‘s presence. This awareness, not anything elecâ€" tronic, is responsible for the elusive rapport that can extend from a Maine farmhouse to a Hollywood stage. * The : foundation of this rapâ€" port is a shared experience in the immediacy of the present. In filmed TV, one of the two vital parties concerned â€" the player â€" completed his emoâ€" tional involvement perhaps weeks or months earlier; the audience, in effect, is catching up. But in live TV, both the star and the spectator are tied together by the strongest of all possible bonds. Neither knows what the next minute will bring forth; it has not been lived yet. Both player and viewer know this accord to be true, both feel it and, most important, both This was a case for dynamite! ‘tLive‘ Versus ‘Canned‘ Television Expertly Mr, Dodd packed the charge, Jit the fuse, and threw himself flat on the ground; the stump flew in the air with a deafening roar. The rock\ was laid bare to a depth of 3 feet 6 inches: at the bottom was schist, and embedded in it a rusty iron object â€" an old sword, as Mr. Dodd observed on closer inâ€" pection â€" together . with . an equally rusty old axe, a kind of hand grip, also terribly rusty, and finally a broken bowlâ€" shaped â€" object, rusted _ right through, which immediately fell to pieces and had to be gotten out of the hole with a shovel.... The flurry in the newspapers caught the attention of Dr. Curâ€" elly, director of the Institute of Archaeology in Toronto. He was an expert on such matters and it immediately struck him that Samuel Champlain, one ol Canada‘s great pioneers, had reported in 1610 an ancient Indian tradition to the effect that in olden days there had been "white _ woodenâ€"boatâ€"men‘" . on Hudston Bay. It wasn‘t far from Hudson Bay to Lake Nipigon. Could the strange find be genâ€" uine? Viking weapons, a Viking grave?... _ What can the Viking explorers of 1362 have been seeking beâ€" sides the Great Lakes‘... The question is often asked why a filmed show, when made under conditions seemingly identical with those prevailing in the case of a live program, still © should _ seem _ different. There is ample. If there is one thing in the theatre that canâ€" not be faked or simulated, it is an opening night. And all of live TV is an opening night. There may be previews galore and they should seem like the real thing, but they never are. Maybe the explanation is pureâ€" ly psychological, something that, after all, perhaps should not be explained, only appreciated. But® that a viewer does let a psychological prejudice play a part in his attitude toward film cannot be seriously disâ€" puted; he can hardly do otherâ€" wise, because the television inâ€" dustry is determined to remind him that there is such a diffâ€" erence between the two TV forms. Instead of minimizing the distinctions, TV, producers seem to accentuate them. Not only do these policies add to the woes of many types of film shows, they are also adversely live TV. Above all, filmed TV fears the lull. There must be no pause. If a halfâ€"hour show isn‘t uproarious, . shoot two . hours and snip out with a pair of scissors the best thrifty minâ€" utes. Even the amusing Groucho Marx is caught in this cage of the precisionists. His ad libs fall out exactly on cue and his guests never falter as straight men. Groucho provides humor, to be sure, but he cannot conceal from the audience that it is carefully preâ€"sliced. â€"â€" From The New York Times Magazine. The basic trouble with TV shows on film is the cockeyed concept of perfectionism . that motivates their production. The celluloid impresarios are . so preoceupied with technical facâ€" tors that they are not unlike the mechanic who finds an autoâ€" mobile‘s engine more interestâ€" ing than its passengers. To the art of makeâ€"believe they apply a set of calipers. Perish the thought that an actor should hesitate over a line; far better that he be letâ€" terâ€"perfect, even if he must say the lines without comprehendâ€" ing their meaning. Let the cowâ€" boy sing as he rides the dusty trail, but never let the. audience hear the sound of a horse‘s foot or the rustle of a breeze. Naâ€" ture must be presented at 33% revolutions per minute. Take applause and laughter. A situation comedy on film may be quite acceptable until from left field comes a wave of tinny, doctored and apportioned gufâ€" faws. Strips of this preâ€"packâ€" aged approval are pieced into the film in what some wan diâ€" sector hopes are the right spots. Usually, he guesses wrong.

MODERN ICE AGE. â€"From "Conquest by Man,* by Paul Herrmann, A chemical compound that benefits nearly everybody, but which few have ever seen, marks its 25th birthday this year. We have no definite inform ation on this point, but preâ€" history may provide us with a clue. It has been established The product is freon refrigerâ€" ant, the pioneer in a family of compounds that chemists identâ€" ify by the tongueâ€"twisting name of â€" fluorinated _ hydrocarbons. Practically all home refrigerâ€" ators, freezers and air conâ€" ditioners as well as large comâ€" mercial ‘cooling systems depend upon the chemical as a cooling agent. On the modern farm it does its silent work in milk coolers and fruit and vegetable cold storage units. It was developed on a practâ€" ical scale just a quarter of a cenâ€" tury ago by a group of scientists seeking a safe refrigerant to replace toxic, flammable, or explosive agents then in use in industrial and commercial iceâ€" making equipment. Although, chemically, it didn‘t sTm to make sense, they found that by properly combining such "bad actors" as explosive hydrogen, corrosive chlorine and unstable fluorine, with carbon, they wound up with compound that was both nonâ€"flammable and nonâ€"explosive. More important from the home cooling angle, it was virtlually nonâ€"toxic, solâ€" wing the safety question that had kept mechanical refirgerâ€" ation out of the home and helpâ€" ed make the housewife rely on the ice man. â€" land,suffering as they did from Initial price of the refrigerant was $1 a pound, but in the inâ€" tervening years the price has been reduced many times. Only about a pound of the compound is required in the cooling coils of the average nineâ€"cubicâ€"foot home refrigerator, and the comâ€" pound never wears out. Its useâ€" ful life is limited only by the efficiency of the mechanical equipment required to change it alternately from a liquid to a gas as it carries out its reâ€" frigerating action, First produced in 1931, it is still widely used in commercial and household cooling equipâ€" ment. But since that time, nearly «a score of other fluâ€" orinated hydrocarbons have been introduced on a commercial or developmental scale for _ reâ€" frigeration, aerosol, fire exâ€" vent applications.
