NEW YORK-(RNIS) - Ten
hardened young French sportsmen
headed by Albert Tobey, a veteran
of the French landings at Narvik
in 1910, have arrived in Norway
for long planned ski trek from
Narvik to North Cape-Norway's
northernmost point. All are veter-
an skiers and mountaineers from
the French Alps where they are
employed as instructors, guides,
and physical education teachers
The idea first occurred to Tobey
in 1910, who vowed that if he sur
vived the war he would return TO
Norway and attempt the untried

the political medicine worth what it would cost, even if the curative special session does mean an ex- penditure of $50, ,000 out of a treas ury that is practically extinct. These sources believe the legisla- tors have been taught the error of their ways and that they can pro- duce a balanced budget this time.
 In evaluating these two stands it is necessary to know that the majority of the 40 legislators voted to balance the budget. It is also necessary to know that part of the opposition to the income tax bill was based upon claims that the bill itself was not proper ly drawn. These facts diminish somewhat the impression that the legislature was opposed to the idea of an income tax.

Money Talks Tn Russia

The Voice of America reports the Russia people started to run on banks when they learned some thing was about to happen to the ruble. Those who could, appar- ently withdrew their savings and started buying goods.
 After 20 years or so of trying to make intellectual robots out of the Russians, it must come as a profound shock to Soviet leaders to discover that, in a crisis, the Russians, behave like people. And to add humiliation to the shock, they appear to be acting like-of all people-capitalistic people.

And No Back Talk

One of President Truman's Christmas gifts is a short-wave radio transmitter, no bigger than cigarette case, developed by sci entists at the National Bureau of Standards.
 So now, MT. Truman is equip ped to go on the air whenever he pleases, day or night And his vest-pocket broadcasting station has an advantage which, we sus- pect, he may appreciate more than most people would. It is a one way device. He can speak into it, but he hears nothing in return.
 Plenty of times the President must wish that he could talk to the American people without so many of them talking right back at him. For that purpose, however, his tiny transmitter has restricted usefulness. Its range is only about 200 feet

Canada Does Her Parf

While there is much discussion of the United States aid to Flu rope, not so much attention has been given to what Canada has done.
 Canada has loaned a total of $1, 1850, 100000 to European coun- tries. In terms of relative popula- ton that is equivalent to a United States outlay of $20,350, ,000, ,OO0. In terms of national income, it is roughly equivalent to an 'Ameri- can outlay of $27, 1000, ,OOO.
 To the worlds need in war or peace, Canada makes a bold and sacrificial contribution. But she does it quietly, without fanfare. It is a sturdy and noble people that we have to the north of us. Canadians are a bulwark of de- mocracy and decency. We are for tunate in our neighbors.

No, sir, say the experts of the

extra meat this produces prob
ably won't make pork much
more plentiful. The corn also
will be used to fatten cattle,
but it takes longer to increase
the supply of marketable beef
than it does pork. So the corn
isn't a big factor in producing
an immediate increase in beef.
There probably will be a
greater proportion of choice
corn-fed beef this winter and
next spring than there might
have been if the corn crop was
smaller and meat prices lower.
But there will be fewer grass
fed cattle marketed, so the to-
tai supply of beef won't be in
creased substantially.
The number of cattle on
farms is comparatively low. and
ii farmers slaughter an unusu-
ally large number this winter
il means there will be less beef
later on. Farmers can't sell
their breeding stock and have
their calves. too.
