Ac-curate forecasts of weather are import'ant,In DEW line con- ,-mictinn because so far nearly all men and material for the radar 53-iii-m have been airlifted Into the north. Bad forecasts could result in loss of airlift planes.

The DEW line is designed to warn of any air attack on North America.

Revisits United Kingdom On Nuffield Scholarship

(TOATBRIDGE. Scotland M An- drew Hamilton. who had never iIi'Ell in a mine before and George fiilmour. who had once. came along with Fred and me. As it was quite some distance to the mine and as we were to have a cup of its with the Doctor before,des- twiitling. we left before eight in the morning. On the way down they pointed out curiously shaped i.:iiider Hill to Fred and me. iviiich was famous during thr .-ippi-essiuii of the Covcntors.

I heard a story in Glasgow last night that sounds as if it might be true though. An Ameri- can hearing about MacLean and the fork went to MacLean and wanted to see the fork. Mr. Mac- Lean had little idea of which fork or if indeed there was any

arrival at the mine and had av- :-rything in order. The nursing sister had a pot of tea on and some biscuits ready which we would term cookies. lavlng had ii chat over the tea and biscuits. in the course of which somebody remembered it to be Friday the l."ith. Not a good omen. never- theless we donned our helmets and fastened the beven- pound battery which powers the head lamps to our belt and we were ready to descend. The mine manager shook hands with us and we were off. I have been over twenty thousand feet above the surface of Scotland and in a few breath-taking seconds found myself over seven hundred feet below the surface. Pd like to ride up and down the lift a few more times for the thrll of it: very much like evasive action in a heavy bomber. but slower and ygthout the same effect from

The Mine Training Officer was our guide beneath the surface and pointed out” where the peat muck and sludge had filled vari- nus sectors of the mine five years Jun. trapping 116 men below ground. of which 18 were lost. two of which died of anoxi and i-lcven were caught in th flow n surface muck. The remainder ucre marooned from a Thursday in the Saturday following. or three days. during which time they had used up almost all thei "Xyrren in the unflooded part and were also suffering from the ef- iccts of anoxia: another eighti hours and they would have suc-i rumbctl too one telephone con-I finiied to work and they were in constant contact until the rescu- ers could break through to them from another mine not far away. It was a desperate fight against limo, but the battle was finally vino.

Canada broadcasts about N0 a day for Russia and every other coun- try-200 every six hours.

One official said the cold war is any other End of weather.

"The need for the other guy's iinformation is so compelling tnut Ilcvo-operation is a must." he said. v international co - operation in meteorology has survived almost everything except war in the 113! 100 years."

Most of the weather data col- ilected by all countries is chan- nelled around the world by a meteorology teletype system. Same is picked up by radio. In Canada, Arctic weather informa- .lion goes to the Arctic forecast .team at Edmonton.

Some of the most important weather data received from Rus- ,sia comes from the two Soviet ifloating ice islands. The giant ice icubes are used as mobile research

stations to gather informal.-ion on weather. ocean currents, ice drift and solar radiation. American scientists are also rid- ing an ice (I in the Arctic ocean. A Canadian scientist was invited along when the Americans I cupied the Inland. known as T-8, last spring but no one was available.

officials said Russian Arctic re. search is aimed primarily at es- tablishment of a northern shipping route as a lifeline for many north- ern Russian communities.
