Huge Snowy Owls, Canadian Natives Invade Michigan Lansing, Mich. (U.R) Michigan has been invaded again by snowy owls whose homes are in tl barrens of Canada's far north. The phenomenon, believ ed caused by lack of food, occurs about every four years. These great birds, some with wiiigspreads of more than five feet, have been seen in Detroit suburbs and in almost every section of the state. Unfamiliar with man's power of destruction, they have been reported frequently in duck hunting districts, where they retrieve crippled ducks from the marshes. It was reported one seized a wooden decoy near Point Mouillee. Conservation officials report ed that more than a hundred have been shot In recent weeks One taxidermist said he had accepted 60 of the birds for preservation. Last invasion of the snowy owls was In the fall of 1941, MODEL T's HIS PETS Camp Grant, 111. (U.R) Pfc Hayden R.

S. army's reconstruction of this city's war-ravaged docks, which in peacetime constituted the sec ond ranking port in France, has resulted in the repair of 10 of the port's 11 major docks and in the reopening of 32 of the ap proximately 40 berths, port of ficials announced here. In addition, an estimated 500 wrecked ships of all types have been cleared out of the harbor area, authorities added. Completely Destroyed Although most of the army's construction work has been of a temporary nature designed to make Le Havre usable for mili tary purposes only, officials be lieve that the French neverthe less will derive considerable benefit fro n the work when the port finally is turned back to France. Officially estimated as 100 per cent destroyed as a result of Ger man demolition and allied war damage the port has risen through a systematic plan of re construction by army port en gineers, to one of the busiest in Europe. Besides the reconstruction of the Le Havre docks, which were the prewar home of the famous Frjnch liners "Normardie," "lie de France" and "City of Paris, the Seine river has been made navigable for ocean-going ships as far as Rouen. With most of the reconstruc tion being of a temporary na ture, officials say there will be a minimum of equipment which will be available for purchase by the French as surplus prop erty when the port eventually is turned back to France. Such items as dockside cranes and similar equipment, however, are expected to be offered for sale Meanwhile, with approximate ly or.e-third of the port's facili ties now back in French hands, authorities here say the remain ing facilities will be turned back to the French "as rapidly as con ditions will permit."

(U.R) The home training given the nation's children today will de termine the divorce rate of to morrow, warns a Pennsylvania State College professor. Dr. M. E. John, professor of rural sociology, says the best place to start fighting the in creasing divorce rate is with children in their own homes. "How to make a happy mar riage is best learned through observation and experience." Dr. John believes. "And that's why it's important that children be raised in the right environ ment," he explained. Even children of pre-school age should be taught to live harmoniously with other people, according to Dr. John. He em phasizes that the boy-girl re lationship established in child hood and adolescence may later mean the difference between a successful or unsuccessful mar riage. The sociologist suggests that church groups, women's clubs and schools supplement the home training by providing teen agers with "a wholesome pro gram of training for marriage."
