A comparative list of best times in the two Class B subdistrict meets last weekend finds the Douglas entries holding a five to three edge in running events and each sub-oistrict holding an edjc in three field events. Except in the mile run, where sub-d(strict winning times were oddly enough exactly even at 4:53.5 and several of the shorter running events, winning times and distances between the two sub-district meets are widely separated.

That is because thunderstorms average 45.000 each day; that's over 1,800 every hour! Year in and year out, the great est downpour is concentrated 'tp n a small 5,000-foot-tugh spot in Hawaii, cloud-drencheu Mi. mSu leale, where the 20-year average has been 460 inches yearly. Sur prisingly, on climbing the moun tains shoulder, I found that despite the fearful downpour, the sloping area is boggy. You'd think every living plant would have been washed away! On the southern slopes of the Himalayas, at Cherrapunji, As sam, India, a 20-year average of 426 inches has been recorded run ning Hawai's 460 inches a close second. (After all, in such down pours what's a mere 34-inch dif Xerence?) Of this, 90 per cent falls within 6 months, during the mon soon. Yet, just a short distance away on the northern slope it is arid with a rainfall of less than 10 inches! TOTAL RAINFALL for the con tinents, which comprise V of the globe's surface, varies. North America's average of 23.7 inches is low (with the heaviest alons our northwestern seaboard). South America averages over twice as much, with 53.1 inches (of which the heaviest is along the great Amazon valley); Africa, 28 inches (of which the west coast near the equator takes the brunt); Asia has 25.4 inches (of which the East Indies has the heaviest with the island of Java averaging 233 thunderstorm days every year the earth's hiphest. Europe has 24.3 inches; and Australia (with Tasmania) averages only 18 inch es. Our North American rainfall of 23.7 inches varies tremdendously, with less than 2 inches a year in parts of the southwest deserts to more than 80 inches in trie tip of Florida, the Mississippi delta and the southern Appalachians, and more than 115 inches in coast al Washington and Oregon (138 inches). In the central part of North America more than half of the year's supply falls during the growing season, while along the Pacific Coast the distribution is reversed with most of the rain falling in the winter at the time of lowest needs. Perhaps the most uniform distribution year in and year out is in Wisconsin (36 inch es) and Michigan (31 i-nches). THE HIGHEST RAINFALL ever recorded for a year was at As sam, India, with 805 incnes.
