DEC.41;,Tl0557 T "T T Safety Schools - A current fashion in the United States is the highway traffic school. Several of the larger colleges and universities have put the subject in their list of required or optional studies. A typical school is that now under way at Michigan State Uni- versity, having been authorized by the last. session of the State Legis- lature. This is by no means a small and inconsequential affair. It has a staff of 38 full time instructors and is described by university officials as ”the broadest in scope ever at- tempted." Following are some of the courses: workshops for police. judges, safety directors, engineers. teachers, and other categories es- pecially interested in safety work; training young people for full time jobs as driver-education instructors and traffic engineers; information in audio-visual aids; library train- ing; and scientific counselling in administration of traffic laws. The money for all this is being provided by the Legislature. about 3i200,000 for the first six months. After that, presumably, everything will depend on the schools progress and apparent. usefulness. In addi- tion, good contributions are expect- ed from major automobile manu- facturers, who have expressed keen interest in the project It is an am- bitious undertaking, certainly. Whether it will reduce traffic acci- dents remains to be seen; but if it does nothing more than dramatize the need for extraordinary meas- ures to cope with a situation that appears to be getting worse all the time, it will have served a useful purpos- Soulh Viet Nam Today The world's youngest republica South Viet Nam, born in October, 1955-e-starts life against a back- ground of war and confusion, but with a solid asset in fertile and pro- ductive land. A little larger than New England, it represents only a fragment of France's five-state Indochina colony that existed be- fore World War II. On the new republic's northern border lies Communist North Viet Nam, set up beyond the l7th par- allel by the i954 Geneva cease-fire agreement that ended the long struggle between French and Viet Minh forces. West of the two rival Viet Nams stretches the rest of irlint has French Indochinas-(l.am- horlia and Laos. Once French pro- tector:-ites but now independent, both remain kingdoms.

France and South Viet Nam, plus private relief agencies, co- operated in the exodus, one of the modern epics of mass migration.

Dr. W. G. Harding of the Pro- To and to are lngs and moved south. The United; vincial Department of Mining is in charge, and the teaching will be concentrated chiefly on the various identifying marks of minerals and the techniques of handling a Geiger counter efficiently. The emphasis, of course. is on uranium, the min- eral that seems to be related one way or another to almost every- thing that happens in the tech- nological field these days-yes, and in a sense in the political field, too. Dr. Harding, the report says. has only one formula for success in prospecting: curiosity, close obser- vation. and steady, hard work. Well, that is a pretty good formula for success in any field, although many people who adhere to it strictly do not. discover uranium, or even a pot of gold, which these days is much less valuable. No doubt, the school will fill a real need; it must be wonderful for a freshman prospector to learn "all about it" in a week's schooling. There will. however, be some dis- appointment over the absence of a "where to find it” subject on the curriculum. But. of course, if Dr. Harding were an authority in that department he would not be teach- ing at all. He would be right out in the field, gathering in uranium by the ton.

Bird Canadian Press. Ottawa Two huge craters believed caused ! by meteors plunging to earth . 500,000,000 years ago have been discovered within 100 miles of Canada's capital by the Dominion Observatory. The pre-historic pockmarks. now filled with rock and earth. are near Franktown, about 30 miles south- west of Ottawa, and l-Iolleford. ap- proximately 20 miles northwest of Kingston, Ont. They were spotted by the observatory during examin- ation of aerial photographs of Can- ada taken from RCAF planes at a height of 10,000 feet. The discoveries bring to five the known number of craters in Can- ada of meteoric origin. BEST-KNOWN CBATER The most. famous is the Chubb crater, now known as the new Quebec crater, in northern Quebec about 130 miles south of Hudson strait. Others were found 40 miles west of the northern Labrador vil- lage of Hebron and in Algonquin national park outside of Brent. 0nt., 50 miles east of North Bay- The Holleford crater is about IV; miles in diameter and has I depth of some 100 feetebig enough to swallow up the entire downtown area of a medium-sized city of I couple of hundred thousand pop- ulatlon. It is covered with palac- ozoic sediments. estimated to be have concealed most of its original shape. Apart from its circular shape. the only other definite evidence that the crater is of meteoric or- igin is that the inner slopes are Dr. Beals said the Frankiown cavity also is covered with sedi- ments which are at least 000 years old. However, the evi- dence of meteoric origin is not In strong as at I-lolleford. The obsei-vatory's search for meteor craters represents an ex- tension nf its research efforts. Son1e 200,000 aerial photographs of parts of Ontario and Quebec now have been studied and the obser- vatory plans to examine photo- graphs covering all sections of the country. Dr- Beals said the object of the study is to determine whether the earth at one time was bombarded by meteors. The infonnation would assist astionomers in their studies of the universe. "It is ii well-known fact that the moonls surface is pitted with thousands of craters." he said. "While several theories have been put forward to account for their origin. the hypothesis which now is most generally favored is that they were caused by meteoric bom- bardment! thousands of years ago. EARTH BONIBARDMENTT "It is because of the similarity of these lunar craters to ones on earth that astronomers are turn- ing attention to the possibility that at one time the earth may have been subjected to similar bom- bardment. The earth's at T u would introduce conditions causing earthly craters to be much more obliterated than their counterparts on the moon. and hence they have heluded detection." The Chubb crater. discovered in steeper than the outer and no vol- canic activity has been found in this section of Canada. "it appears that there is a def- inite possibility that this may be an ancient meteoric cavity nearly filled with sediments," Dr. C; s. Beals, Dominion astronomer. said in an interview. "Gravity observa- tions lend to support the view that it is a depression of considerable depth filled in and covered with sednnonts." VAGUE DEPRESSION The Franktown crater is a vague, Shallow depression with little lop- ograpliical relief. However. it is rm-nlar.with a diameter of three- quarlrrs of a mile.

For one thing, it. meals back to work after I week-end of fun and relaxation. Also, it is traditionally the day for doing the family wash. Insurance statisticians have giv- en us another reason for forming a Monday-I-iaters' club. After I careful check of records and re- ports. they discovered that you are most apt. to catch I cold on Monday. Just why this is so, hasn't been determined although they suspect it may be because you are more likely ta become exposed to some- one with a cold during week-end visiting. Another possibility is that you become tired and run-down more readily on weekend holidays and consequently are more vulnerable to the cold viruses on Monday. RETURN TO WORK Again, the theory is advanced that a subconscious reluctance to return to work may have some- thing to do with it. Although many of you undoubt- edly had summer colds, the real season for this annoying disease did not get under way until Thanks- giving. It's not much use trying vaccines or various remedies described as cold preventatlves We have no known effective measures for pre- enting the common cold. If you have a cold. however. there are several simple precau- tions you can and should take to protect others from catching it. A cold is very contagious dur- ing the first 24 hours. So. if you feel .ill and have a slight fever, keep away from your family and friends as much as possible. Wash your drinking glass thor- oughly after using it. or put it someplace where other members of the family will not readily find it. Cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief when you cough or sneeze. Remember to hold the handkerchief loosely and be care- ful not to compress your nostrils.
