Park Glaciers FAVOR
Cool, Rainy Summer
Rest Of us Don't

The cooler summer of 1948 is
apparently favoring Glacier nat
ional parks go glaciers, according
to Chief Park Naturalist M. E.
Beatty.
These rapidly retreating ice poe
kets along the continental divide
decrease in volume each year, but
indications are that the present
cooler summer with more precip-
] itation is resulting in the glacier
fronts not retreating as much as
formerly.
First glacier in the park to be
! mapped, surveyed and photograph
ed this year will be Grinnell on
Sunday and Monday. DR.. James
L. Dyson, Lafayette college geo.
logy department head and park
temporary ranger naturalist, an
authority on glaciers, will have
charge. Sperry glacier will be
mapped, photographed and meas
ured August 20 and 80, and Jack
son, September and 8.
Park glaciers are best observed
in late August and September
when snow has melted away leav-
ing the great masses of ice. Sperry
in 1900 covered $40 acres; by 1916
it was down to $50 acres (72 city
blocks). The shrinking ice mass
is still as deep in places as a 40
story city building is high.

London Population
Is Close To Ideal
Set By Planners
AP Newsfeatures

LONDON - Wartime shifts have
brought London near the "plan-
ners' dream" the population fig
ures which government surveys
have fixed as the ideal
The number of people in inner
London is almost exactly at the fig
ure to which planners said it
would have to be reduced, but the
country zone could still take anO-
ther 100000 people.
The in-between suburban zone,
however, still has over 100000
more inhabitants than the planners
would like.
London transport experts, as the
result of an inquiry so that the fu-
ture traffic development can be
shaped to fit the new London"
says the capitals population has
changed more in the last eight
years than in any comparable area
in Britain.
A big drop in the elmer core" of
London, within six miles of the CEN
ter, since the beginning of the war
has brought the population down
from 4,O13,OOO in 1889 to 1850, 900
today.
The outer fringe of LondOn-the
country area" between IL and 25
miles out, including semi-rural
areas-nOw has 2,178,O0O people
compared with 1,886,OOO in 1899.
The intermediate zone from six
to II miles from the center has
shown little change, increasing on
ly from S,989,000 to 4,O79,O0O.
Reasons for the change are the
bombing of central London, the
growth of the country area pOpula-
tion through evacuation, housing
shortages in central London and
the outward movement of some in
dustries and trades.
