Moving Mountains
By JOHN MYERS
GENOA, Italy. Jan. 8 - (Reu- fors) - Men are moving moun- tains - literally - at cornigliano Just outside this major Italian seaport. to create land for a giant modem steel works.
The strip of flat land between the maritime Alps and the Med- iterranean sea was too narrow for this huge plant, which is expect- ed to boost Italian steel produc- tion by 20 per cent.
Engineers decided to scoop earth and rock from the foothills and tip it into the sea to extend the shoreline. An extra I00 acres of land will thus be added to the LS0 acres already available.
A stone dike to hold back the sen is nearly completed. About
14,500 cubic yards of earth. rock and rubble are being dumped into the sea between the dike and "shore- line every day. In the same time an additional 10,500 cubic yards of, sand are pumped from the open sea into the area to be filled.
The framework of the new plant is springing up fast. -The blast furnaces are almost finished. The open hearth furnaces will be ready by next July. when steel-making is due to begin.
Full operation should start early in l953. after completion of the cold strip and hot strip mills.
The Cornlgliano works should go a long way towards making Italy self-sufficient in steel production and lowering costs of semi-finished steel to a point where Italy can compete with finished products in international markets. Cornigliano will employ between 2.500 and 3.000
work ers.

Score Wasteful Heating Of Homes In Britain
By ALAN naavst .
LONDON, Jan 3 - (C?) With a sharp wintry nip in the air adding urgency to the argu- ment. debate continued today on a really burning question - what to do about the nglishmsa's stubborn love for a cheery, open fire.
Skeptics say Britain is sense- Iessly smoking herself to economic suicide through the glowing coals in l2,000.000 family fireplaces.
Demcsticaily. the country burns about 60,000,000 ions of coal a year, all but 15 per cent of which goes up the chimney or is other- wise wasted.
The debate. which rages every time there is a cold spell. leaped into flame with a claim by a Bri- tish professor. F E. Simon. that
'Britain could save at least 100,-
000 tons of coal a year by proper methods in industry and in the home. The blaze brightened fol- lowing a 24-page booklet by two Conservative members of Parlia- ment on the need for making
icoal work harder.
Another Smoking Brand
T0d8.V a Winnipeg man tossed another smoking brand on the hearth. in a letter heading the Manchester Guardian's correspon- dence columns, H. S. Ferns of Birmingham said that coming from Winnipeg he had been ”shocked" by the way Britain wastes heat, 'F9rns. remarking on Britain's 'letishes about open fires. fresh air and draushls." urges a two- fold attack on waste heat, L.

With Canada's Naturalists
Back from a birding expedition in south Carolina. Richard M. Saunders. professor of history at the University of Toronto and an ardent amateur naturalist. tells of his adventuresin anew, beautiful- ly illustrated book, "Oarollna Quest.”
He describes the mockingblrds singing in every garden; the thrill of finding in an almost impene- trable swamp. two specimens of a bird now on the verge of extinction. the ivory-billed woodpecker. and of the we be felt at his first sight of North America's most gorgeously colored bird. the Paint- ed Bunting. But every day. in woodland. swamp or sea-fringing wilderness. he found birds of plain or gaudy feather he had never seen before. or heard bird songs that were new to him.
One chapter of the Canadian
naturalists book. published by University of Toronto Press. is de- voted to the southern birds that come to Canada and become per- manent residents. like the card- inal; to other exotic species like the hooded warbler. Vermilion fly- catcher. or that curious bird with all enormous tall. the scissor-tnll- ed flycatcher, that literally "blew in" for their Canadian visits on the wings of a storm. It was Prof Saunders who once found a mock- ingbird chirping in a Toronto gar- den. He is an expert bird caller and his imitations. while leading hikes of amateur blrders, often bring the species desired for close in- rpectlon. ”Too realistic." he told the writer. "Making a warbler call in a suburban wood. made 3 huge hawk think it was ltmch time. The big fellow dived to Vilihln a few feet of my head. then flew away, disgusted."
That Body Of Yours
Continued from page 2 physicians that when thyroid ex- tract was used to reduce weight in those of normal weight. there was considerable danger of -Graves' dis- ease (exopthalmic goiter) develop- ing. While thyroid extract might help to reduce weight safely in those with an underactive thyroid gland it could cause all the symp- toms of the dangerous form of goiter if use by those of normal weight and with a normal meta- bolism reading.
In The Texas state Journal of Medicine, Fort Worth. Dr. R. Fran- kcn records a case of a woman. 34. who until six months prior to the examination had been taking 25 grains of thyroid extract daily (1 to 3 grains is usual dosel. under a physician's supervision. to reduce weight. she had been taking thy-
roid extract. one and one-half years but only for the final 10 months did she take 25 grains
daily. Al the end of this time the patient stopped using thyroid ex- tract because she had become ex- tremely nervous and was unable to sleep. shortly afterwards she noted tremor or trembling of the hands which she could not control. and short attacks of tachycardia lrnpid beating of the heart). Exopihalmos (bulging of the eyes) began to de- velop and the trembling. rapid heart beat. and nervousness. in- creased, She thus had all the usual or classical symptoms of hyper- thyroidism (goiter or Grave-s' dis- eosel. The symptoms continued to develop for six months after she had stopped using thyroid extract.
The rate at which her body pro- cesses were working was plus 34 instead of being zero (normal). The patient was then treated by the drugs usually used in hyper- thyroidism - iodine. propyl-thiou- racll - and a. quieting drug. Eight weeks after the start of this treat- ment for goitre the thyroid, gland was removed by surgery. Two months after the operation.-the woman was almost free of symp- toms.
