Danny Meadow Mouse. peeping out from under the end of the Old Stone Wall. could look across to Farmer Brownls house. At a kitch- en window was a feeding station for the feathered friends of Farm- cr Brown's boy. Danny Meadow Mouse didn't know this, but he did know there was a lot of going and coming on the part of the feather ed folk. He could hear them hik- ing among themselves over there. Then Tommy Tit came over to the Old Stone Wall with a sunflower seed. He opened it there and ate it. He went back for another. The shells from that seed fell down between the stones where Danny was hiding. That is how he knew that Tommy Tit had brought a seed over there. Perhaps he would bring another. And perhaps he would drop it. Tommy Tit does drop a seed once in awhile.
Poking around at the end of the old wall to see if by chance some seeds might have been dropped there Danny found the entrance to I tunnel. He knew what it was. "Miner the Mole has been over here." thought Danny. "I wonder where that tunnel goes to. I wond- or if Miner is anywhere around

Prepare To Soil
ST. JOHN'S. Nfld. (CP)-Crews of three sealing ships will bare their chests for free X-rays here today a few days before their vessels begin slipping quietly and separately away to the seal ice off the northeast coast.
The Terra Nova will sail March 7 under command of Capt. Gus Carter. The Algerine sails March 8 under Capt. H. Laite. Both are owned by Bowring Brothers here and are the only Ncw'0LllldlIl1d ships to enter the seal fishery this year.
The Halifax-owned Arctic Prow- ler will sail with its n-:w'oundland crew early in the week;
The Arctic Sealer. out of Halifax but also with a Newfoundland crew under Capt. William Moss. sailed from St. John's for the Gulf of St. Lawrence last week.
The season opens today in the gulf, and March 10 on the front off the northeast Newfoundland coast.
The Meal fishery has been in decline for a century. since the days when 400 ships carried 13,500 men to the ice.

A QUEER 'l'WlB'I'
Aiyone who picks up a hand in which the highest card is a nine- spot can't be blamed for feeling that he is very much out of it on that deal. However. as has been remarked before. Itranga things can happen at the bridge table.

Granting that West was lucky to get the result he did, it would be unfair to call hiaopening lead merely "sensational" and let go at that. There was planning and logic in West's selection. He foresaw that the enemy's trumps were sol- id. and that North's spade suit would produce a great many dis- cards for declarer. West also as- sumed, correctly. that,-he would not be able to cash two diamonds. The biddlniz strongly indicated that South had the club king; thus. West's low diamond lead was made on the one reasonable hope that he could put his partner in for a club return.
Moscow Plan For Bering Strait Dam
LONDON. tReutersl- Moscow radio Saturday outlined a plan to build a dam across the 35-mile Bering straits. which separate Siberia from Alaska. to permit heating the waters of the Arctice ocean by nuclear energy.
The dam would carry a rail- road line which. the radio report said. could link London a nd Washington by land transporta- tion by way of Moscow.
It said the plan was the work of a Russian engineer named Shumiltn. It provided for huge heaters. operating by an atomic power stzitiioii of between 2,000,- 000 to 3.000.000 kilowatts capacity. The heating elements would be submerged at the foot of the dam
