The now-frozen reaches of northern Siberia and Canada sup porting the earth's most energetic populations. r Magazine Discussion - These possibilities are discussed In the magazine Science by Dr. Clarence A. Mills of the labora tory for experimental medicine. University of Cincinnati. The reason they may come is the tremendous effect that temp erature has on human life. Dr. Mills explains. ' The human body, in burning foodstuffs for energy, produces a lot of waste heat and must.get rid of it Ease of heat loss "means a fast growing, early maturing, highly fertile individual, - with a keen 'mentality and good ability to fight Infectious disease." Chances In Growth If climate makes it hard to lose heat, people slow down. There are changes in growth, rate of de velopment, ! resistance to disease, and thought capacity, he said. ''Physical and mental charact eristics thus change, from the dynamic and pushing, to a more passive 'let-George-do-it' type. . Personal Initiative gives way to a desire for security.' In the list 10.000 years there have been five cycles of relative warmth and cold, each lasting about 2,000 years. Dr. Mills said Temperatare Rising I We are now in period of ris ing temperature, and "tempera tures in 1930 reached about the levels of 1,000 years earlier. All records available indicate that earth temperatures have been ris ing for a full century, bringing definitely milder winters and the long summers of depressive heat that sap human energy and change the course of nations. The next-to-last cold millen- ium fell In the days of early Greek and Roman glory, and was follow ed by the thousand years of dark ages warmth, when cereal grains could be ripened in Iceland." The peak of dark ages warmth came about 850 A. D.. he writes. Greater warmth in Scandinavia brought temperatures favoring human activity, and stimulated the Vikings to their explorations. Then, be says, a cool millenium came, the north turned cold and Europe entered the renaissance. Lethargy Grew. No, "the same semi tropical lethargy which earlier engulfed the Mediterranean countries of Europe is today creeping north ward over the United States and Central Europe." Already, Dr. Mills said, there is a trend for later maturity in girls and smaller adult stature in American college youth, reversing the trend of recent centuries to ward earlier maturity and ever- better physiques- In the Carolinas the reversal came with children born in 1918, at Cincinnati lati tudes a little later, and in Wiscon sin it still remains only an in definite hint-'V Retarded By Cold Russia was retarded by centur ies of cold, Dr. Mills says, but "much of Russia today enjoys temperatures which are near the optimal (best) for human endeav or hers is now the early Ameri can frontier reaction of bubbling enthusiasm and nigh lrresistable impetuosity.

Man, says Dr. Mills, "is in reality a pawn of the forces encompas sing him, being pushed forward to a vantage point at one time, or held in lethargic bondage at anoth er. Here is a challenge of the first magnitude can human intellig ence finda n effective answer?" Ha mentions two possible de fenses against being pushed around by temperature changes. Animal studies show that some depressive effects of heat can be overcome by extra amounts of the B vitamins and foods richer in protein. Air conditioning could maintain temp eratures best suited for human activity. PTA TO MEET BROOKS The Brooks Parent Teachers association will meet Tuesday night, October 1, at the schoolhouse.

Developments came fast in the row which began 19 months ago when the RussiaA-dominated corn inform (communist international information bureau) blacklisted Premier Marshal Tito's govern ment These were the developments: 1. Yugoslavia's official press charged that Bulgaria was pursu ing a mass purge including some of its top officials to halt the spread of Titotsm in that country. 2. Late tonight the foreign af fairs ministry published its rejec tion of a note from Russia de manding recall of Yugoslavia's ambassador to Russia, Karl Mra- zovich. At the time the Soviet note was issued, Mrazovich was already back in Yugoslavia serving as president of the Yugoslav republic of Croatia and as a member of the Yugoslav communist party central committee. 3. The Yugoslav interior minis try accused Hungary of stirring up border troubles and said Hungar ian troops lobbed shells for eight hours across the border into Yugo slavia last Thursday night No one was hurt and Yugoslav border troops did not reply, the ministry said. The Yugoslav rejection of the Russian note branded the recall demand as a new "stimulus" in what was called a Soviet cam paign to shut off relations and to minimize Yugoslavia's position in a "progressive world." The government of Yugoslavia protests strongly and energetically and casts away the slanders con- 4 Classified Ads are the peoples market place V 0 0) .V' 3 c .-.JL.j,. V:, .

Octobr 80, 1S4 " , tzecu neds Drop Cases Against Priests PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Oct ' 29 -iPh Communist-led Czech. Slovakia today freed or halted legal proceedings against 117 Rs man Catholic priests who had op posed the government's new church control law. An official announcement said President Klement Gottwald had decided on the action because th priests had repented and promised loyalty. The government first announced that all 127 had been released frona prison. Later this was corrected to say that a majority of the priests had been free during "legal pro ceedings' against them. Presum ably, this meant that most of them had not actually been imprisoned. The government's first state ment said priests had opposed the new control law because of pres sure from the church hierarchy" but that in prison they had "pro claimed they wanted to change their attitude, were sorry for their acts and promised loyalty to the Czechoslovak republic and asked the president for amnesty." Church sources, have reported about 300 priests under arrest for voluntarily opposing the laws passed Oct. 14, which give a gov ernment ministry control of church finances, salaries, person nel and administration. Earlier this week the Czecho slovak bishops retreated from their opposition to the law to the extent of allowing priests to take an oath of loyalty to the communist gov- I ' ernment with reservations a; ft I accept government salaries, pro vided they advised their church superiors. Previously Catholic sources had reported about 80 per cent of the nation's 7,000 priests signed volun tary statements they would go t jail before accepting the control laws. . ..-- ii S K Y L I N EAvs Hall makes a pretty silhouette arainst the sky at Miami Beach, Fla, tained in the Soviet note," the for eign office reply said. . For months now diplocatic re lations between the two countries had been cool, but whether this would be another step toward a formal diplomatic break could not be determined pending further de velopments. The communist newspaper Bor- ba, voice of Tito's government, made the mass arrest charge against Bulgaria in a three-column article. Vauslian's Car Catches Fire WASHINGTON, Oct 29-()- Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, the president's military aide, found himself in a slightly hot spot to day. His automobile caught fire in nearby Arlington, Va. He climbed out when smoke began curling up from the dash. Soon after flames enveloped the front end of the car, doing about $300 damage. President Signs Vet Benefit Bill WASHINGTON. Oct. 29 President Truman today signed a bill correcting an error which had kept approximately 160,000 World War one veterans from receiving service-connected disability bene fits. The measure corrects a drafting mistake which turned up in a bill Mr. Truman approved earlier this" year. That law set up a new dis ability rating schedule for veterans generally.
