sealing off the entire northwest
German port belt.
The nearest approach to the
capital was an American Ninth
Army advance to an unspecified
point east of Hildesheim but less
than 2" miles from the aircraft
center of Brunswick. Gen. Omar

CITIES AFLAME
Hanover and Bremen were
besieged and afire while the
British Second and American
Ninth Armies beat at their out
skirts.
Both are great prizes. Bremen
is Germany's second port, a
Focke-Wulf plane producer and

The Canadian Fourth AZ

YELLOW BRIGHTEST COLOR
AT DAY: GREEN AT NIGHT

In daylight yellow is the bright
est color, but in low illumination
green is the brightest, according
to the Better Vision Institute. Be-
cause the brightness Of color shifts,
clothes and other colored objects
seem to change their appearance to
the eyes under varying intensities
of light. Another reason why OBJ
jects change color is that the spec
trail composition of artificial light
is not exactly like that of daylight.

Visual errors are common among
tribes with low standards of civil
lization, says the Better Vision In
stitute. However, the visual tasks
are simple and for that reason
shortcomings in eyesight are not
as bothersome as in civilized ma
tons where the eyes are forced TO
work long hours in reading and
other hard near-point seeing jobs.
