It is cited in the March issue of “science perspectives” by Rita Liepina of the National Science Foundation. Her report summar- izes in brief the fierce intensity of Russian education.

The Russian student ingests this diet between ages 7 to 17. He stud- ies 71/4 months a year, six days a week, six hours a day. His courses are compulsory. Dr. Liepina cites reports fixing a high output of high school grad- uates—too many for Soviet uni- versities. But at the same time, the universities are never filled. Why? Perhaps, she suggests, students are denied entrance, because of unfavorable political backgrounds U.S. translator _at the Geneva con- ference on atomic energy. ‘ TIMETABLE OF STUDIES Dr. Liepina offers this time- iting the number of students. ’ or lack of funds.

Protest Moving Pilot Station MONTREAL (CP) - A gifoup,of 26 river pilots in the Quebec-t'o- Father Point district have pro- tested to Transport Minis-ter Hees against moving the pilot station at Father Point to a northshore point, it was learned Monday. Father Point is on the south shoreof the St. Lawrence, three miles from Rimouski and about 200 east of Quebec. Officers of the pilots’ associa- tioii have recommended to the transport department that the sta- tion be relocated at Cap Bon De- sir, on the north shore closer to Quebec. But the group of 26 stated in their petition they were‘ not consulted about the proposed move. The group agrees the station should be moved closer to ‘Quebec but maintains it should remain on the south shore, preferably at Trois - Pistoles. They claim Cap Bpn Desir lacks accessibility and . wintersto send the moose pop- ' starvation, Moose Seems Best When He's Hard Hunted By THE CANADIAN PRESS He’s a big, ungainly hunk of animal with a face not even a mother could love. His disposi- tion is less than charming, espe- cially when his intentions are amorous. If that seems like a contradic- tion,‘ it is generally in character with the status of the moose as ‘a game animal. The harder he's hunted, the more he thrives. Small wonder Canadian hunt- ers excuse his social deficiencies. Unlike other kings of the ‘north- land such as the caribou and the brown and grizzly bears, old Alces Americana is fighting the battle of survival and winning. Almost without exception, the seven provinces where moose are plentiful enough to permit an open season report a steady up- ward trend in the numbers of hunts, kills, and animals still on the hoof. The ‘estimate of Dr. W. J. K-. Harkness, Ontario chief of fish and wildlife, is. typical. He re- ports the current kill “far below any danger point--in a good deal of the province we could shoot a lot more.” In British Columbia, where the estimated 1957 bag of -7,000 moose would make it the hunter’s paradise of the Dom- inion, biologist ‘Jim Hatter of the provincial game commission says more liberal gunning reg- ulations have helped as much as lucky breaks over the last few ulation soaring. “It's just as wrong to ,under-, harvest as it is to overharvest,”. Dr. Hatter says. A “If moose are too plentifiil for their range, there won't be enough food to go around and they’ll die from a combination of parasites and dis- ease. This happened in the late 1940s when we had a string of tough winters.” . For an animal as big as a horse —- some weigh up to 1,200 pounds —— and an appetite to match, proper and sufficient feed is a perpetual problem. Newfoundland is among the provinces where wildlife experts wonder whether they may have too much of a good thing. The estimated 1957 kill of 4,000 could easily be stretched to 6,000, they say. There is a particular need for thinning of the herd in re- mote interior sections, a com- plaint echoed by Ontario and Saskatchewan. The moose’s aversion to hu- man society is his greatest pro- facilities for a pilot staltioii. €3.73 .- cool beauty vvith a fiery spirit When you ease up to the curb in this stunning new Chrysler, there’s scarcely a sound.
