All of these things came to the strange screen that is the mind's own. as at twilight 1 looked out upon the snowfall and swirling drifts. Then it was that the farmers came dim- ly in sight to separate at the path that branches in the yard .and leads each one to the lights of his home. O l O Up to this they had been at the wood-hauling, hurrying in the face of the storm to have last sticks gathered and drawn to the heap in the yard. Even while I watch- ed from the window, horses had been let from the ferm-slelghs and taken to the shelter and comfort of their stable. "Hm!" James clear- ed hia throat, stamped the' snow from boots and garments. and ask- ed: "Now what do we have for sup- per l" Then catching an agreeable and most tantalizing scent in the aroma that hung about the old kitchen. a smile of actual delight spread across his features. "Not smells, Ellen!" he said. "well what could be any better?" Once when we happened to be dining at an eating-place in town and the oth- era of the party were eagerly choos- ing less common fare, James chanc- lflls‘ to spy the word "smells" on the menu exclaimed, "Well, haven't I been lust craving for some of those". and when they were served to him. crisp and golden brown from deep-frying and his enjoyment was so obvious. others of us wish- ed we had ordered similar fare. O And so this evening when James had come from a last trip of tho day along the fields through the snow-fall we found again in the warmth and brightness and peace Indoors the delight of this food and savoring the sweetness, mmember- ed the tangy smell of the sea as it comes wafted landward on a wisp of a Summer breeze and again saw white sails as of old against the charm of the sunset. O O I "Not going to be much of a storm, after all." James remarks from the couch, where he has been resting. "it's turning now to rain- see on the window!" And there glistening on the panes are the raindrops, pattering down merrily --and fortunately, when we remem- ber other farmstesds where illness stalks tonight's darkness, to put an cnd to our storm. e O I Until tomorrow . . .

A Broad Survey llf North Sea By Charles Ceoot COPENHAGEN. Feb. 1 —(Reut- ersi-Large-scale and detailed plans have been drawn up here for a thorough exploration of the North Bee, in the hope of discovering the answers to questions which are puzzling Europe's fishing fleets. Some of the questions which ex- perts cf six nations will pool their knowledge to answer are: 1. Why do certain varieties of fish suddenly disappear from areas in which they have been found for years? 2. How much of the water in the North Sea. comes from where-and when does it come? 3. Are fish in the North Sea changing their feeding grounds? The plans for the survey were drawn up at. a recent meeting here of the mternationai Council for the Exploration of the North Sea. For the purposes of this survey. six areas of the North Sea will be examined by the appropriate one of the six participants Ln the sur- vey-Engl-and, Scotland. Norway, Qweden. Demiark and Holland. The vuork will be carried out by the fishery research vessels, light- ships and some of the weather ships stationed in the Atlantic. Widespread Surrey A survey of the North Sea, ac- cording t.o the experts, must start in the Atlantic, the southern Arctic and the Baltic. Water from each of these areas flows into the North Sea. and each has very different properties. Some is warm and some cold: some is salt and some only slightly salt. A survey of the precise nature of various waters entering the area would, it vuas stated, provide a clue from which it may prove possible to deduce the movement. of the North Sea fishing grounds. Temperatures of water all over the North sea will be recorded at various depths and samples of wat- er will be taken at regular and close intervals. These samples will be ex- amined for oxygen, salt. and other chemical content. It,is upon this content that depends the growth of tnarine plants on which fish feed. Prof. li.W. Ahimann. well-known Swedish gluclologist. who first dis- covered that the ice and glaciers of northern Scandinavia and the Arctic were melting and retreating towards the pole. was one of the m scientists who addressed the in- ternational council. Hc said that. there had been ciiimatlc changes which had brought to Denmark 25 species of bird which had never been known so far north before. In Greenland. he said, increased tempers/Lures had become particu- larly noticeable. This had caused certain mammals, such as the seal —the Eskimos main food supply- to retire to colder districts further north. Of interest to the fishing industries was the fact that higher sea temperatures held resulted in enormous catches cf cod off Green- land. He added that cold streams from the melting Greenland glaciers, 9, similar to those which had driven 1s herring from Icelandic waters, were threatening the cod fishery along the Norwegian coast.
