U. s. Foreign-Born Residents


New York state has only about an
eighth of the million and more Cana
dams in the U. S., with almost twice
as many in Massachusetts. Michi-
gan also has more Canadians than
New York. California is fourth
and Maine fifth in Canadian choice.
The majority Of Names immigrants
from the north are listed as French
Canadians, as is third Of the Cana
dian colony in Massachusetts,. With
a Polish population slightly in excess
of residents from Germany, Illinois
is second only to New York in Polish
popularity. Pennsylvania is third,
with nearly so per cent more Poles
than Germans. Michigan is fourth,
New Jersey fifth; Massachusetts,
and Ohio both have more than
$4,000. Next to New York, where
less than sixth of the English
population registered, California
leads, followed by Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania. New York and
Massachusetts have more than half
of the Irish foreign-born, with New
York leading, two to one. Pennsyl-

New Guinea Strange Land
OF Extremes in Climate

Australian and Japanese troops
hacking their way through the tree
tight jungles of tropical New Guinea
face the heavy and seemingly never
ending rains that travel with the
trade winds or the monsoons.
This huge dinosaur-shaped island
with it's head almost touching the
equator, its eye looking toward the
southeast coast Of Asia and its tail,
1880 miles away, curved toward the
northeastern tip of Australia's main
land, is a land of strange contrasts
and climatic contradictions, says
the National Geographic society.
It's low grasslands are often tenn
porarily buried in the ooze Of trop-
ical swamps. Its tree-matted and
vine-tangled jungles sweep up the
mountain slopes and hesitate only at
the swirling waters of the rivers
edge. And out Of this tropical caul-
dron with its steam rising in clouds,
mighty mountain peaks reach up
from the very sea floor to we'll
above $4,000 feet (Carstensz Topper,
16,404 feet). These peaks frequent
ly wear cold white hats of snow.
While most of the island drips,
bomb-blasted Port Moresby, on the
underside and near the end of the
tail, is smothered in rolling clouds
of dust.
