Kola. which are located on the
White sea, as a buffer against
the Sogiets.

CHARGE RUSSIANS DID NOT
PRACTICE REFORESTATION
East Karelia would increase
Finland's forest land. Experts say
Russia has oyer-exploited Karel-
ian forests and did not practice
scientific reforestation. Official
Soviet figures for 1882 showed
that nearly 2s2,512, 900 cubic feet
were cut. The annual growth is
estimated at only PIP, 0s4 900 cubic
feet.
Finland had approximately
2l8.000 square miles of land
and more than $1,000 square
miles of water. Russia took
about 10000 square miles last
year. East karelia's land area
Is 90.625 square miles and
kola's Is about the same.
Although extremists favor an
nexing all of Lake Ladoga, on the
southeastern frontier, If Russia is
defeated, high military officials
are believed to favor q boundary
which would stretch from the pre-
1910 Russell Finnish border on La
doga north and Leningrad and di-
rectly across the lake to the Stain
canal. Then it would follow the
canal to Lake Omega, cross the
middle of the lake and extend to
the White sea. The experts favor
obtaining enough land east of the
Stain canal to insure its defense.
The Leningrad-Murmansk railway
also would be inside the annexed
territory.

ESSAY ON COW IS. BY BRITISH BOY
Cow Has "Six Sides" He Writes; "Man Cow Is
 Called an OK"

London, October 30. = CUP) - A COW has 'six sides" and is lar ranged for milking" according to an essay written by a 1O-year-old boy from the East End slums of London and released by Ernest Brown, minister of health.
 The boy had been evacuated from the city to the country where his amazed eyes beheld COW for the first time.
 "The COW is a mammal" he wrote. Tt has six sides, right and left and upper and below. At the back 1t has a tail on which hangs brush. With this he sends flies away so they don't fall into the milk. The head is for the purpose of growing horns and so his mouth can be somewhere. The horns are to butt with and the mouth to moo with. Under the COW hangs milk. It is arranged for milking.
 "When people milk, milk comes and there never is an end to the supply. How the COW does 1t l have not yet realized but it makes more and more. The COW has fine sense of smell and one can smell it far away. This is the reason for the fresh air in the country.
 "A man COW is called an OK. The COW does not eat much but what 1t eats it eats twice so that it gets enough. When 1t is hungry it moos and when it says nothing at all lG $ because it's insides are full up with grass"
