Some pet sayings and beliefs about weather, however cherish ed, sholud be takenwith a lick ot salt; others noi ai au. uur Fact vs. Fallacy today concerns wind. Fallacy: When March comes roaring in like a lion it will go out meek as a lamb; when it 6-6-Sb"T " comes in like a lamb, it will go out like a lion. Fact: This pat and often-repeated phrase, which originated in Europe, as did so many of our popular weather sayings, was given the hot-foot, not in Amer ica but in its own land by George H. T. Kimble, author of Our American Weather. For 16 successive Marches, Kimble av eraged the speed of the wind at Kew, Surrey, England. His test showed that March came in persistently meek and lamb-like, with a gentle wind averaging Just under 10 miles an hour. At the end of the month, it also went out meek and lamb like, just over 10 miles an hour. In those 16 years, on only one occasion did March come in at By EUGENE BURNS . . Ranger-Naturalist all resembling a lion at a fresh breeze of 22 miles an hour. To reverse the situation, Kim ble toon the record of a notor iously windy are a Lerwick, Shetland Isles, northern Scot land. There, as expected, March came roaring in with a gale six years out of 16 and it went out the same way, almost as often! For that matter, the stormi ness of March, even here in Am erica, has been highly overrated. Except for a few isolated areas, such as the top of Mount Wash ington, New Hampshire, the wind of March is much more likely to average a gentle breeze of 10 miles per hour than a leon ine gale of 40. , Fallacy: Winds tend td move horizontally, or at a slope with the ground. Fact: Not at all. Actually, winds often blow at angles to the horizon, from any direction and sometimes even up and down. Such vertical air-current are most common during thun derstorms a subject more prop erly relegated to July, the month when more thunderstorms occur than in all other 11 months put together. In such storms, the up rising air currents frequently travel 2.000 feet a minute, and more than 5.000 feet a minute have been registered. Fallacy: As one ' is airborne, the speed of wind -usually in creases, sometimes many-fold. Even in a 30-story apartment building, the circulation of air will be much better and the wind will be consistently stronger, as anyone knows who has stood on Medford's Progressive.

For another thing, it will probably be blowing from anoth er direction even up to 40 de grees differently. In both in stances, surface friction causes the difference. Fallacy: Wind consists of a mass of air moving fairly stead ily at the same speed. Fact: A normal wind is not uniform. It is full of waves and eddies and flows in a succession of gusts and lulls due largely to the irregularities of the sur face on land, there are humps and hollows, trees and build ings; on sea, waves set up eddies. inis gustmess varies, usually leveling off as the wind's speed increases. Thus a 30-mile-an-hour wind may gust up to 60 miles an hour again as fast; while a 60-mile-an-hour wind will seldom gust 80 miles an hour only a third faster. During early afternoon, the wind tends' to be gustier than in early morning or late evening: the higher the elevation, the less the wind is affected by surface irregularities and hence it is steadier; and finally winds blowing over the sea tend to be only about half as gusty as those blowing over land. Fallacy: The speed of wind in dicates its force: thus a 40-mile- an-hour gale exerts four times the force of a gentle 10-mue-an- hour breeze. Fact: Speed of wind and strength or force are two differ ent things. To measure force ac curately, it should be stated in pressure exerted say, pounds per square foot upon a surface at right angles to the wind s path. Measured, this would be true: when the wind's speed is doub led, its force it almost squared, or quadrupled. Thus, a wind of 20 miles an hour whosetspeed is twice that of a 10-mile-an-hour breeze, exerts a "force about four times as hard; a gale of 40 miles an hour, whose speed is only four times as fast i as that of the 10-mile breeze, ex i erts a force 16 times as hard, and 1 a whole gale blowing at 60 miles an hour which is only six times 1 as fast as the 10-mile Dreeze, ac- tually exerts a pressure almost 36 times as hard! And at 60, it's really roaring like a lion, wheth er it be March, June or any oth er month of the year.

Cypriof Gunmen Kill British Teacher Nicosia, Cyprus (U.R) Four Greek Cypriot gunmen shot and killed a British school teacher and wounded his taxi driver in an ambush in front of a Limas sol school today. The dying teacher . pulled a gun from his pocket and fired several shots at the gunmen but did not hit any of them. I - Dozens of shoppers dived for j cover as shots zipped through the busy downtown street. The gunmen started shooting as the taxi pulled up to the curb in front of the school. The teacher, described only as an inspector attached to the Cyprus Department of Educa tion, was wounded by one of the first shots. . The wounded taxi driver man aged to drive the teacher to a nearby police station. He died en route from there to a hospital after gasping a few words to detectives. -. Use Tribune Want Ads Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent fry-'- Hollywood U.R) After 2V4 years of a family feud, the An drews Sisters are a team again all because of unhappy fans who sat down and wrote let ters. The famed singing trio Maxene, Patty and Laverne called it quits in 1953 Aline Hosbr after a squab ble about who got how much money and other difficulties. Patty pulled out with the claim her older sisters treated her "like a baby." , -But recently the 'girls got to gether to talk over a movie that will be made at MGM'on the story of their life,. with other ac tresses portraying them. After reminiscing with the script writ er about their past glories, the girls talked themselves into "go ing back into harness. Fans Express Opinions "It just wasn't wanting to sing together again, but the pub lic never wanted us to break up," Laverne explained. "We have been getting as many as 2, 000 letters a week from people asking us to get back together ever since we appeared on an an niversary program for 'A Show er of Stars' on television a cou ple of months ago." The girls admit they also dis covered, like Martin and Lewis, that a team is successful because it's a team. Patty was a good single in night club acts but her act didn't have the impact of the team.. For months Maxene and L a verne conducted a talent search to replace Patty in their routine but gave up because, "We just couldntl find any body." The two sisters toured Australia and realized, as Max ene says, "The crowds were dis appointed. They wanted to see three of us." Feelings Concealed "I missed Patty," she added with a smile at her sister, "al though I never wanted to admit it." S, '"We sort ot can't get each oth er out of each other's hair," grin ned Patty. "Everything's been straightened out -and every thing's water under the bridge. I'll still do records of my own, and I have signed for four TV shows on CBS this year. Other wise, we'll be together." The three sisters, who did an $8,000,000 business with 680 songs, will open for business again June 28 at the Flamingo hotel in Las Vegas, Ney. "We never realized what an impact our break-up had on the people," Maxene said. "They felt without the three of us together it never would be the same." TO PROBE DEATHS Washington (U.R) Rep. Ken neth A. Roberts (D-Ala.) Tuesday was named chairman of a House subcommittee to investigate traffic deaths. He called the group's first meeting for Thursday.

Midwest Banks Lose $30,009 To Bandits c Chicago (U.R) Federal agents today began the task of tracking down bandits who robbed three Midwest banks of nearly 30,000 in 24 hours.
