Quite Sharp
This Year
as far back as wealhcr tales go
have believed in the . January
thaw. It sets in earlier in some
places than others. But generally
speaking you can bank on aibit of
melting weather in the month's
third week.
The record appears to confirm
the old timers, according-to Na
mias. The thaw doesn't come at
precisely the same time every
year, its duration varies, and
there have been years when it
w i; hard to detect.
But it docs scern to be a regu
larly recurring "weather singular
ity" in the northern hemisphere,
Namias said that in a trip abroad
he ran across lots of references
to the Januray thaw in the weath
er lore of Germany.
Some meteorologists pooh-pooh
folk talcs about weather. Namias,
however, thinks there is something
to some of them. For example, he
said, an examination of New Eng
land weather records produced
I itistically significant" support
for belief in the January thaw.
What's the explanation? One
theory is that the January warm
spell is associated with temporary
decreases in the intensity of the
prevailing westerlies high alti
tude winds constantly blowing
from west to cast.
Such subsidences permit air
from warmer regions to work its
wav northward.
What are the scientific prospects
for a thaw this January? Well, it
just so happens, ' Namias said,
that the velocity of the westerlies
has dropped in the past five days
in these latitudes from 12 to 10
meters per second.
So Namias thinks there probab
ly will be a thaw, however brief.

Hunters Protest
Army Oat Crop
SAVANNAH, Gn. (UPD Local
hunters are indignant about" the
Army sowing wild oats.
W. A. Robertson, spokesman for
the sportsmen, complained that
hundreds of acres have been
planted in wild oats on the mili
tary reservation at nearby Ft.
Stewart.
Practically all the deer in-this
section have rushed onto the res
ervation to feed, Robertson said,
and only military personnel are
allowed to hunt there.
"It's not fair to use the people's
money to attract game away from
private property and grounds of
private hunting clubs to a govern
ment military installation," he
added. "We don't think a thing
like this should be allowed to con
tinue." SENTENCE NAZI ACCOMPLICE
