Elyniologically, at any rate, it is dean and white. In our part of the world it is usually clean and while in a physical sense, too. The snow sees to that as it covers evei'yt'ning in sight with its pure mantle,

There are those who say that in defend- ing Formosa, which prpvidcs sanctuary for Chiang Kai-shek, the United States is in- tervening in a Chinese civil war. But, as the Ottawa Journal points out, Formosa does not belong to China, and the United said nor agreed that For-

There are, of course, both good points and bad ones about the kind of winter we have had thus far. Some- find it delight- ful; othcrs find it annoying. One obvious advantage for the middle-aged and older is the opportunity it affords them to rem- inisce about the severity of winters in the past-how the snow used to pile up to the tree-tops, how the rixers were frozen solid from November to April, sometimes to May. The story would have no flaw if those irritating chaps called meteorologists

20th century. Formosa and the Pasca- dores came under Japaiii-so rule alicr they Sino-Japanese war, and they were captured from the Japanese by the L'.S., not China. Further, when Japan after her surrender in World War II renounced "all title" to Formosa, no other power clainied it. Thus if any people have any particular right or claim to Formosa they are Forinosa's abor- igines, of whom there are quite a tow. At; any rate Formosa not being li-gully Chinesef territory, it is nonsense to hold that the U3 5. in defending it is interfering in China's business. Especially when the U.

though the Northern climate is mellowing, no great improvement will be noted for an- other three or four hundred years, and that, taking one winter with another, the weather hasn't changed since "the old days."

Perhaps-one says it grudgingly-they are right. It may be that the change is in Ourselves and not in our winter . Certain- -ly, a tlil'ec-loot snow bank looks bigger to a ton year old youngster than it does to a man of fifty; and it is the "big, big pictures" of youth that provideithe material for the dreams and rcflcctinns of maturity.

A practical way of. stabilizing the dairy indusiry was suggested at the recent agri- cultural conference ln Ottawa by Hon. Colin H. Chisholm, minister of agriculture and marketing for Nova Scotia. If Canada with its population of 15,000,000 consumed as much fluid milk per caplta as does Swe- den, it would mean an increased consump- tion of over 1,000,000,000 pounds of milk or I creamery butter equivalent of over 46,000,000 pounds and there would be no surpluses in the dairy industry.

This is one of the startling pre- dictions made by competitors, for the prizes offered by the British ”Royal Society of Arts," for forc- casts of life on this earth at the end of the century. To Canadians. this is perhaps the must improbable- sounding of all the crystal-ball suggestions. for we have so many gadqels today that we could hard- ly face a day when we awoke in find thcm all gone. And we have so much surplus food today. that it is hard to believe that at this very moment there are hundreds of millions of human beings on this mrlli who are hiingry and who have neither well-sloc ;cd groi-e.c-rias nor money to satisfy that xilal need.

The Royal Socity of Arts launch- ed this competition in connection with its bicentcnary celcbratloiis. Its purpose was to encourage im- aginative men and women to sub- mit cnnslructive ideas about our future. and to serve the useful purpose of directing attention to qnur future and its many but per- haps avoidable prohilem.

The food barriers dividing cer- tain rt.-Iigioiis would entirely dis- appear. So would our farmers. for 10,000 workers in Syhfood plants would feed the entire nation. The immense overpopulation would be matched by supplies of food, but the world would become shot! of many- things such as metal. Pm- duction facilities would be unable to keep up with the great increase in demand. Presumably Canada would became one huge city from coast-to-coast. and our Trans-Can- ada Highway (if the lalzgard prov- inces have finished it by the year 2.000 A. D.) would just be our friendly but long Main Street.

The metal shortage would bring I gadget shortage. But with ev- eryone ln the worlil being well-fed and healthy on Synfnods. the world would be a happy place.

More tlrin 900 years ago two coiitrasting cultures met head-on within the confining walls of a remarkable communal dwelling, Pueblo Bonito, in what is now northwestern New Mexico. As dif- ferent as were their ways of life. the two peoples, about 1.000 in all, lived peacefully together for I century.

The story of Pueblo Bonito is detailed in I new book. "The Ma- tcrial Culture of Pueblo Bonito." written by Neil M. Judd. associate in anthropology at the United States National Museum of the Smithsonian Institution and lead- er of a series nf National Geog- raphic Society expedltions to tha- site.

In 1920 the Society initiated I nrogram nf archeological research into the remains of the vanished Indian culture in Chaco Canyon National Monument. Mr. Jddd con- ducted preliminary surveys of the vast abandoned "apartment. house" of Pueblo Bonito there. Extensive excavations follovied from 1921 through 1927.

"Differences between the two peoples a"e evident in many ways," Mr. Judd says. "The one group was old-fashioned, unchanging; the other, alert and progressive. Each had its preferences in archi- tecture; each had its favored shapes for kitchen utensils.
