Spuds Hold Their Own

some pp,nplP hold the cabbage in contempt as a vegetable. others have a ronlcd objection to parsnips. while reactions in spinach are sharp- ly divided between those who would eat it every day and thosc who think it should be iliflicterl only on invalids and infants. Rut for potatoes almost everybody has a liking.‘accor(ling to a survey made by a member of the psychology de- partment of Leeds University. as reviewed in a recent British over- seas broadcast.

Noted also in this survey was the fact, that. at.t;it.udes to vegetable: change relat.ivel_v l-ittle. Tentative efforts to study them at Leeds be- gan in 1939. And in twem‘.y-four years since then. potatoes have flourished as the monarch of the odible vegetable world.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Canada gathered. about 33,000.. 000 bushéls of apples this year. of‘ which a considerablc amount will have to be exported if they are to be used at all. It is curious. in this connection. to note that Canadians eat. only about 20 pounds of fresh apples per head in a year while the average Swiss consumes 100 pounds. and in many of the Euro. pean countries it is nothing for an individual to dispose of more than 60 pounds.

Man's Capacity To Survive

Manchester Guardian Weekly

The mine rescue operation at Lengede (In man . is surely one of the great "es- cape" stories of all time. After 14 days underground. 11 men who had taken refuge on a tiny island in the subterranean flood were reached by drilling. and were brought up by a rescue capsule in less than an hour.

For eight days after the flood- ing of the mine there seemed no chance that they could be found Alive. and attention was concen- trated on the rescue of the three men known to be trapped in an air pocket in another part of the mine. Fortunately the insistence of some minor: who had escap- od on the first day that they had seen men retreating from the wafpr up a rising gallery with no outlet was. after some delay. successful

As they an! or stood on their small foothold. rocks fell at ln- fervals without warning from the roof.
