Walcheren. the garden Of Hol-

little more than seven months
after the Nazis were chased from
the country. Two hundred fifty
thousand acres of land again

With the help of Allied engi-

labored relentlessly through the
months, working to plug the
dikes that kept fhe Zuider Zee
off the land. Some farmers from
this area have already returned
to begin ploughing the salty soil.
At present, the main pumps,
which were left intact by the
Germans, are pumping off the
water at 500 tons a minute.
Soon, with implementation of
new pumps from the u. S., the
rate will be speeded up to 4,800
tons per minute.
The job at Walcheren was
more difficult, but despite dis
appointing delays due to storms
which washed away all progress,
the main hole in the Nelledike

LEWISTON, Me.-WH-Some
1000 French Canadians and
Franco-Americans today were
preparing for one of the most
spectacular events of the North
casts winter season-the an
nual convention of the Interna-
tional Snowshoe Union. The
1000 enthusiasts and an estimat-
ed 10000 spectators will parti-
cipate in the convention, sched-
uled to be held here Feb, 2 and
8.
When Joe Pete comes out of
the Canadian and Maine woods
for the annual convention, he
intends to display his prowess
ons nowshoes, but he also uses
the meeting as an excuse for his
major social event of the year.
Convention activities include
a great deal of social entertain
ing. gigantic parades and spec
tacles of all kinds-rivaling the
New Orleans Mardi Gras in
pageantry and color. The snow
shoers all dress in club colors, in
woolen uniforms that are conf
plete from tasseled stocking caps
down to stockings similar to
those worn by baseball players.
Wide, bright sashes must be
worn around the waist.
SNOWSHOE TO MASS
On the Sunday of each con-
vention the snowshoers march
on their snowshoes TO a solemn
high mass in their honor. In
other parades, each of the So
clubs of the Canadian union and
81 clubs of the American union
enter drum and bugle corps in
spirited competition.
SnoWshoeing as a sport Is a
grueling test Of endurance. The
last time the ID N mile mara
thon was run at Sherbrooke,
Que, in 1885 every contestant
except the winner went immedi-
ately to a hospital. He was ad-
mitted the following day. The
next year. the marathon distance
was cut to 10 miles.
A standout entry for this
years marathon is Gerard Cote,
four-time winner of the snow
shoe marathon and three-time
winner Of the annual Boston A.
A. marathon. Cote, who repre-
sents the Frontenac club of Que
bee, holds the 10-mile course
record of one hour. three min
utes and as seconds.
FORM DOESN'T COUNT
Even with his record, Cote
isn't . certain winner Of the race.
Two years ago at Sherbrookc,
he was defeated by Lloyd Evans
of Montreal, another standout
of the BAA marathon.
Running on snowshoes is no
cinch, but the way some Of the
boys do It Is q sight to behold.
Heads up, chest out. the snow
shoe champions exhibit a form
that would make q champion
IC-4A miller blush with shame.
And some Of the experts really
travel on snowshoes. The 100
yard dash record Is held by
Jacques Marchildon Of Mont
real, who won the 194l race ut.

Constitution Passes Peril

Washington, March 6. - (UP) - The United States Constitution, bulwark of the nations liberties, has Just passed through one of its greatest perils, 1t can be revealed today.
 The william has been identified by government entomologists as a hum gry attagenus piceus dermestidae, or Q black carpet beetle.
 The bug, described as an "im- poverished specimen" that had been living under starvation conditions, was found crawling on the original of the Constitution in the library of Congress.
 Two sailors Gunners Mates Frank Small of Salem, Mass. and 0. Zwaska of Chicago-spotted the intruder on Saturday.
 No harm was done, but dichhorlde crystals were put in the constitu- tion's case as well as that or the Declaration of Independence to pre- vent any further invasions.

Club To Defy Curfew Order

Washington. March 6-UP)- One of the capitals small hours en- tertainment spots announced today that it will defy the midnight cur few because the so-called curfew order is merely a request
 The defiance was sounded by the Lamplighters club. an establishment which normally opens after mid night and goes on from there. Jos oph R. Burko, proprietor. said he did not care whether federal agen- cies retailiated by shutting off the clubs gas and electric service.
 That's up to them" he said. We're not worried about the gas, and if they shut off the electricity we'll use candles. and maybe change the name to the Candlelighters club"
 Because he had violated the cur few, Burko had received notice from the War Manpower commission to reduce the number of his employees to the minimum needed for main tenance and protection. He said at first that he would appeal but changed his mind and decided to defy the order.
 His attorney, Saul G. Lichtenberg. said the curfew regulations have no legal force because they were not published in the Federal Reg ister. The WINGS notice. therefor, was based on alleged violation of an order that has no legal standing, he said
 Anyway, Lichtenberg added. the curfew order docs not contain any time when establishments should open" and therefore does not apply to the Lamplighters club.

Crisis Brews Over Rootto

Rome, March 6-(UP)-A politi- cal crisis, threatening to lead to the overthrow of the Bonomi gover- ment, is brewing over the escape of Gen. Mario Roatta, former army chief of staff under Mussolini, on trial as one of the Fascism's lead- ing war criminals
 Roatta apparently has left Italy and is believed to be in his way to Portugal, reliable sources said to- day.
 Leftist parties have called a pro- test meeting against the laxity Of government departments that en- abled Roatta to escape from Re- gina Coeli jail Sunday night.
 Rome's morning papers carried hints that the escape was engineer ed for a number of purposes, but all were unanimous in demanding that there be a shakeup in the Bonomi government.
 Roatta is said to have escaped when his wife gave a drugged cigaret to a guard while the gen. eral was out of his cell visiting a friend in the prison infirmary.
 The interior ministry has offered A 1000 ,000-lire ($l0.000) reward for information leading to Roatta's re-arrest.
