ONTARIO LOOKS
OUT FOR CUNTS

Hollywood, Nov. 6.--(UP).--David
"A. Croll, Ontario's public welfare
minister, was o visitor In Hollywood
today In his official capacity as
guardian TO IT,, Dionne quintuplets.
The Canadian official came here to
sec the new quintuplet movie RE-
union at O special preview show
ing The contract under which goth
Century-Fox obtained the movie
rights TO the quintuplets provides
that Croll must approve the films
IN which they appear.
The southern California weather
found Croll trying to get used to
the change from Ice and snow.
s.sVhen I left the quintuplets, they
were playing out Of doors with the
thermometer at 10 degrees below
zero. They seem to thrive on that
climate" He was greeted upon his
arrival by Virginia Field, daughter
Of sir John Field, English barris-
ter, and by Slim Summerville, q ma
tive Of Chatham, Ont, not far from
CrOll's home.

900 acres OF open country and 1911

ried forward by crews OF CCC en-
rollees from forest service and ma
tional Park Service camps, working
under the supervision Of the bureau
Of entomology and plant quarantine
Of the U. 8. department OF agricul-
ture.
1.-THE work done by the CCC In the
control Of gypsy moth Is o part OF q
campaign being conducted by state,
county and federal agencies through
out the northeastern section OF the
country" Director Fechner said to-
day. "A barrier zone--a thirty-mile
wide protective belt extending along
the eastern boundary Of New York
state from Canada to Long Island
Sound--was established thirteen
years ago to prevent the westward
spread Of the. gypsy moth beyond
the boundaries OF the New England
states, where serious infestations
first appeared In 1890. For some
years, corrective operations were re-
stricted to the zone area and some
isolated infestations that had been
found outside.
"When COO camps were estab-
lished In New England In 1888, ar
rLngements were made 70 assign
groups OF men from many OF the
camps to carry on gypsy moth work
With additional man-pow?r thus
provided, q more offensive campaign

While other factors. have some
Influence, climatic conditions, on
the whole, are the main dctermin-
ant IN deaths from lightning, ac-
cording TO the statisticians. They
point out that there Is q continuous
band Of states, including Montana,
wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico
and Arizona, running from north
TO south, characterized by deaths
from lightning Of six or more per
million Of population; another con-
tinuous patch Of states with these
high rates Is found In the SOUTH
east corner Of the United States. In
GLIDING South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
Jana, and Arkansas. States border
is,g on these areas also had higher
than average death rates from this
cause In most cases. wa.
On the question Of whether deaths
from lightning are preventable, the
statisticianS comment:
Certainly the risk can be much
reduced by the exercise Of common
sense. Since almost any upright OBJ
ject projecting from the ground is
a better conductor Of electricity
than air, the tallest object In q
landscape tends TO be the natural
target for the lightning stroke. Iso-
lated buildings, trees or even single
lndlyidrals on q plain or on a ris-
ing piece Of ground, may serve as
conductors for the discharge. In o
storm, therefore 1t Is an obvious
precAution to avoid being near or
forming part Vf such target.
