The building will be construct- ed on the sitsof the tempers y quarters at the earner of Prince and Euston Streetl. b! M’. F. Bchurman Co.

Plan New Weather

In Arctic

By TIM DICKSON

TORONTO, Dec. l'l—(OP)-—E|-,. pension of a chain of weather stations around the Arct1c's rim would enable Canadian weather- men to tell with a high degree of accuracy when a big storm is about to roll down the northern half of this continent, Andrew Thomson, Canada's new Control- ler of Metecrologlcalservices said today in an interview.

Currently only six stationsdhart weather in the Arctic. Within three years they will number i6. but Mr. Thomson said 26 are needed for an adequate report.

So few weather stations spot the Polar expanses at present that meteorologists call the Gan- adlan-Unlted States sector of the Arctic north of o6 decrees north latitude the “blind spot.” It cov- ers 500.000 square miles.

Facing the six Canadian-Amer- ican stations north of 66 degrees are more than 200 stations in the European-Asiatic segment. Half of the 200 are in Russia.

To forecasters, the “blind spot" is of vital importance because that is where most of North Am- erica's most paralyzing storms are born, Mr. Thomson said. Gold Polar air piles up there, seetihes for a day or two and then heads south to chill millions of Canad- ians and Americans and possibly cause death. damBBB- and disrup- tions of communications.

“We need to know what's cook- lug in the Arctic." said Mr. Thomson. "The only six stations now operating enable a forecaster in toll when iiir is piling up in the Arctic but the information he has is so skotchv that he 11in’! i011 for certain where the cold air mass is about to break through or whether it will go east or west. when ii: docs stnrt to mnve. he can hardly tell (lo-finitely how low temperatures arc going i0 droll"
