You'll never get your share of it. but there's enough gold in the seas to make every inhabitant of earth worth approximately 514.000.

Population L429. All have mal- aria, a. tiny bug whose bite causes death within hours is the chief killer. That's how the little is- land came by its name.

Divorce is common in "Death Is- land," and women rule the roost. They are choosy when it comes to picking their mates and usu- ally scorn the homely ones. Men with poor fishing reooirds also stand little chance of getting wives.

It sounds like a tall tale. but nevertheless its true. If every hu- man being on this planet were six feet tall and a foot and a half wide and a foot thick. then the entire human race descen- dants oi the original palr could be packed into a crate measuring half a mile in each direction - that, as I just stated. sounds like agtall tale. but if you think I'm fibbing. figure it out for yourself and you'll find it to be correct.

If one of our crack passenger trains started on a non-stop run to the moon it would need seven tenths of a year to reach that planet.

Believe it or not. but the depth of the deepest sea is greater than the height of the highest moun- tain. In other words, if we dumped Mt. Everest into the deepest part of the incean. its top would still be several thousand feet below the surface of the sea.

Nature keeps I proper balance in everything she does. When she allow: one sea to go day she starts mother one in some other part of the world. and when she permits certain mountain ranges to disap- pearthen another part of the crust in I totally different corner of our globe is slowly being reshaped into I bwanld-new mountain range.

But when man interferes with nature bad results often follow. Take. for example. our greed for timber. What's the story behind this greed? What's the story pic- ture we see in the future?

The denudlng of our forest: has turned curtain regions of this province into what one might fit- tingly cell primeval wildnrneases. Indeed our grandparents would hardly recognise their own pu- tures and farm sites. were they to come but to the garden of the gulf for a. brief holiday. Had our greed for timber and cleared land been less we would still have plen- tycfflrewooduwellasgood stands of lumber.

Here's how the word "knots" came into use when referring to the speed of a ship. In early days I log was thrown into the sea and watched to see how long it would take before passing the stern of the ship. The length of the vessel from stem to bow was of course known, and no the officers could then figure out how much time the ship needed to pass a given point and that would show roughly how many miles the vea- sel was making in an hour.

To the log of wood was fasten- ed a line divided into so many piecm by "knots". The line was tossed ovar board 'at. the name time that a sand glam was set running. Sailors kept pulling in the line and counting the knots that passed hrough their hands while the sand-glass was emptying its contents from one bulb to the other.

The former champ said that an- other former champion. Emnrd Charles. while appearing is worthy contender. still should dispose of Nlno Vnldes for the right to fight Marciano.

Charles. who is being boomed

for a possible June match with Marciano. was outpcinted by Val- des in a surprise defeat last year. Dempsey said the elimination should be conducted among chu- les. Valdss.
