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,

Le Havre (U.R) The U. 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."
This is expected to take place

Chudren To Set
Rate Of Divorce
State College, Pa. (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."
