The Late Sir Harry Lauder

Kept Itlght On

Sir Harry look the advice he gave in the song he made popular durinl the First World War: "Keep Right On To The End Of The Road." _. It was only last year. go tho repented advice of his

against taxing his strength, that the famous comedian reluct- antly announced his retirement.

"I suppose a man can't go on forever — though I'd be perfect- ly willing to," he remarked sadly.

Although Sir Harry had sung his swan song on the commercial stage in the middle '30's, he had not ceased being a showman. All through the Second World War. at his own express wish. he had sung. capered and pantomimed as he had done a generation before for troops at home and for char- it

y.

Four Top_E S. Atomic Experts Give Views

(By Alton L. Blakealee)

NEW YORK, Feb. 28—(AP)——- The hydrogen bomb, if it works. could easily be made a suicide bomb to kill everyone in the world. four top atomic scientists warned today.

They said it probably will be another three years before it is even known whether such a bomb can be produced.

If and when such n bomb is made, it would kill slowly by poisoning everything and everyone with radioactive dusts, The dusts would be carried around the world by the wind.

Scientists could make dusts that would stay active and kill for a few days, a few months, or as long as 5.000 years. They could pick the kind of dusts they wanted to create.

The warnlns was sounded by Dr.

Hans Bethe, physio st of Cornell University; Dr. Fr derlck Seitz. physicist of the nlveralty of Illinois: Dr. Leo Szllard, blo- physlcist, and Dr. Harrison Brown. chemist, both of the University of Chicago. They told of the sulclde- bomb in n University of Chicago round table broadcast, over NBC, orig- inating here.

These are their statements:

The I-I-bomb, as conceived in theory, would create huge amounts of atomic partlcules called neu- trons. These neutrons can change harmless atoms, like cobalt or carbon, or almost anything, into radioactive, poisonous atoms.

500 Tons Needed

It would take only 500 tons of Iheaivy hydrogen. in one H-bomb, to make a dust that would kill every- one in the world. Dr. saliard de- clared.

It would —-releaoo- 50 tons of nout-rons—enough to make a radio- active dust that would settle over the world. The dust would stay lethal for five years. ,

Any ociintry could threaten to use such a bomb, in a suicide-fob everyone ultimatum to get what it wanted, the scientists agreed. Bombs might be rigged to pro- duce dusts of short-or long-killing

power.

One hydrogen bomib. not rigged for dust ptoductlon, would-n'tz create muoh dtmker.

It would make nitrogen and carbon in the surrounding air radioactive. But a lot of the H-

bombs. used in s was. could create

a 5.000-year carbon dust "that would make life impossible.” Dr.. Bethe said.

'1‘-h-ere still are two hopeful facts.

one is that it may not be pos- sible ever to make a. hydrogen bomb. “it has not been made—it has not even been ocncelved ded- lnite-Ty how it will be made." Dr. Bethe said. estimating it would take at least three years before it is known whether an I-I-bomb pan be made. -.

se:>ondl,. the I-l-bomb would be big .a.nd heavy. and how to deliver it by plane or guided missile might be a tough problem.

Turnips A At

land turnips shipped from this Province to date have almost doubled the price and amount of those shipped to the end of Feb- ruary In 1940. it was learned from Mr. w.r. Macbeod, senior Fruit and Vegetable Inspector here. Approximately 1584 car loads or 1.287.200 bushels of turnips have been shipped this year. During the similar period last year 904 car loads or 738.300 bushels were ship- ped. The present price of turnips is

Good Price

The price and quantity of Is- 00 cents per bushel compared to

30-32 cents this time a year ago.

A small turnip crop in Ontario was given by Mr. Macbeod as one of the reasons why the price nnd quantity of shipments increased to such an extent. He also felt that there was a better grade of island turnips going on the market.

The majority of the turnips are being shipped to New York and Boston. A few were shipped to (‘Ii- taria during the early part of the year. .

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 26 - (AP) — Weary, sunburned hunters late today halted a Sunday safari when darkness made it too dang- erous to hunt a jungle-bred leopard which yesterday escaped from the Lincoln Park zoo here.

The snarling cat late Saturday leaped from its 18-foot pit, hit a -wall, and jumped over a moat to freedom.
