Britain Gripped
By Cold Spell
London (U.R) The worst cold
spell in eight years gripped Brit
ain under heavy snows today
3 and extended across the contin
8 nent.
Ten German Boy Scouts were
reported lost in blizzards that
buried them in the Austrian
Alps where they were under
going a "courage test."
The weather was blamed for
five deaths in Britain and five in
Sweden. On the French Riviera,
a 70-year-old man was swept
away and drowned by a huge
wave that engulfed the promen
ade at Menton.
The dread "black frost" which
last month sank three British
trawlers off Iceland with the
loss of 40 lives struck in Oslo
Fjord, Norway, last night. The
layer of ice forming on the 657
ton coaster Toron caused it to
heel over and sink but there
were no casualties.
British Royal Air Force
planes and giant snowplows
brought food to isolated com
munities in Northern Scotland.
Some areas had been cut off
since Jan. 3 by heavy snows.

mighty good; three fair to mid
dling. Questions are. based on
earlier columns. Answers follow
questions. Help yourself.
1. Match the appropriate
group word wisp, stand, siege,
plump, skein; with these birds
plover, herons, wild fowl, snipe,
geese.
2. Which Bf these animals
may make a 2,000-mile or longer
migration: Alaska fur - bearing
seal? Monarch butterfly? Sulfur
bottom whale? Snow geese?

their rear legs. Two large mam
mals whose rear legs are longer

its eggs in a burrow? Which
hatches its egg on its foot?
Which lays it in another birds'
nest? Which lays it in a mound
of vegetable matter? Megapod,
Puffin, "Penguin, Cuckoo, Robin,
Starling, Sandpiper?
5. Notice how the moon never
seems to rise in the same posi
tion? Actually, how long is the
interval between the moon's ris-
ing from the same position:
Every year, every 5 years, every
10 years, every 15 years or
more?
ANSWERS:
1. It's a wisp of snipe, a stand
of plover, a plump of wild fowl
particularly ducks, a siege of
herons, a skein of geese.
2. All of these animals are
capable of a 2,000 mile or more

lays its eggs in another bird's
nest; the megapod lays its egg
in a decaying vegetable mound
and abandons it.
5. The moon's path is erratic,
meandering through several
planes, and it takes 18 years and
11 days to complete . its lunar
cycle which means, it takes that
long for it to rise again in exact
ly the same position.
