Canada Builds Resorts Around
Hot Springs in Three Parks

BANFF, Jan. 3.-What causes hot
springs to bubble from the ground?
The question long has intrigued
the layman. One explanation Is
that the water is moving from a
place Of higher pressure to one
OF lower pressure. The water Of
some hot springs is Of surface
origin. 1t gets into the ground or
rocks in various ways, circulates
over heated rock-masses at some
depth, and finally escapes to the
surface in the form Of a hot spring.
The water Of other hot springs is
considered by geologists to be Of
magmatic origin; that is to say,
it is part Of the magma or hot
liquid strata beneath the earth's
crust. and, on reaching the sur
face, encounters the light Of day for
the first time.
Hot mineral springs occur In
three OF Canada's national parks
Banf1 and Jasper In Alberta, and
Kootenay in British Columbia.
Evening star., 1942-01-04

At Band, two public bathhousss
have been constructed, one at Cave
and Basin Springs situated In
Bann townsite and the other at
Upper Hot Springs about 2 miles
from the center Of the town Of
Banff. At the Cave and Basin there
are two outdoor swimming pools
fed by springs having tempera-
ture Of 90 degrees F. and at Upper
Hot Springs the pool receives its
water supply from q spring having
q temperature Of liz F.
The Radium Hot Springs IN
Kootenay National Park have .
temperature Of ia F. and here, too,
have been built . bathhouse and
outdoor swimming pool, open the
year around. These springs are on
the famous Banf1 Windermero
highway.

Loose-Ieof Form, Cowsrs
6l7-MiIe Stretch

One Of the most complete guide
books compiled has just come Oh
the presses and Is being distributed
by the Potomac Appalachian Trail
Club of Washington. It Is an 86S-
page loose-leaf volume, we'll indexed,
and containing IS maps as well as
a mass Of information Of various
types.
One of the most interesting as
poets of the book is the fact that
the data contained in its pages
was checked and verified. even per-
sonally gathered, by volunteer
members Of the Potomac group.
Not a single paid editorial stan
member was employed for the task.
Intended principally for those ar
dent Yosians who frequent the
mountain trails Of the Appalachian
range from Maine to the Tennessee
hills, the book was compiled under
the direction Of Myron H. Avery,
founder Of the Potomac Appala-
chan Trail Club. DR.. Avery served
for IA years as its president. He
is now chairman of the Appalachian
Trail Conference. Miss Jean Ste
phenson Of Washington co.ordin-
ated the work Of the Potomac mem
bers in gathering, indexing and
editing the material.
Covers 617-Mile Stretch.
The new guide, valuable to mixers
and motorists alike. covers the 6l7-
mile stretch of the Appalachian
Trail from the Susquehanna River
in Pennsylvania to the Virginia
Tennessee line. Some PIT miles
OF the side trails connecting with
it are treated elaborately in the
book.
Practically all Of this territory
is contained within the limits Of
the Shenandoah National Park,
which Is one Of the most widely
visited sections In the East. At
the nearest point the route mapped
and described In the guide book is
but so miles from Washington. For
a distance OF $50 miles along the
route it is never more than $50
miles from the Capital.

Reds Smash Nazi
Stronghold. Push
Farther Into West
Intended Springboard
For Spring Offensive
Falls Before Attacks

MOSCOW, March 7. (UP)
The Red army pushed
westward from the captured
German strong point of Yuk'
hnov after furious street
fighting in which several thousand
enemy troops were killed, press dis
patches from the central front said
today.
The fall of Yukhnov, south of
Vyazma, gave the Russians one OF
the most powerful positions in that
sector and one from which Hitler
had planned to launch an impor-
tant phase of the spring offensive
that has now been largely disrupted,
it was added.
The Germans had installed their
18th and 36ti1 army corps at Yukh-
nov and had fortified all surround
ing villages. The fertilization was
started long ago when the Ger
mans realized they were unable to
hold key points to the east.
GUNS SET UP
After fortifying all approaches,
the Germans constructed a defense
belt in the outskirts of the city
and studded the strongest houses
in town with machine guns and
light machine guns.
Heavy artillery was set up to
strengthen the defenses.
In the last stages of the battle
the Germans threw in their 260th
and 263d divisions and the rem
nants of the 131st but they failed
to prevent the Russians from break
ing through.
The Russians repulsed strong
counterattacks by the 18th Ger
man army, which is trying to break
out of it's encirclement.

ring around Staraya Russa grad
ually was shrinking.

Trial
Associated Farmer
Chief Arrested
On U.S.. Warrant

G.. G.. Bennett, prominent
rancher and president of the
Associated Farmers of 1mpe-
rial county for five years, was
at liberty on $1,000 bail Sat
urday after his arrest on federal
bench warrant dated July %, 1941,
a warrant charging him with con-
spring to defraud the United
states government to get loan
from the El Centre Production
Credit Association.
Co-defendant on a federal indict-
ment was w. E. Walters, recently
released after serving a penitentiarJ
sentence for fraud and talsification
of records of the Production Credit
association while he was secretary"
manager. Walters, living in Yuma
was said to be at liberty also on
Saturday.
The uencil warrant served on
Bennett in El Centro late Frida'
by United States marshalS was
dated July %, 1941. No rea:on was
given for the nine-months delay IN
serving the warrant when it is well
known that Bennett has been in
Imperial Valley constantly.
FRAUD CHARGED
Few details we're given on the
warrant. But a long distance tele-
phone call to the United states
clerks office in Los Angeles, reveal
ed that Bennett was charged with
giving a fraudulent financial state
ment. overstating his financial re-
sponsibility, giving statement that
did not reflect his true financial
standing, and conspiring with Wal
ters to get loan under the farm
credit act.
The charge against Bennett was
reverberation OF one OF the grea'-
est financial scandals in Imperial
Valley-history. 1t broke in late ApE'i
of 1910, precipitating an Imperial
county grand jury investigation anu
an investigation by the federal gov
ernment. Walters was sentenced TO
the penitentiary for making fraudu-
lent records and manipulating the
accounts of farmers borrowing
money through the association.
