Rockville Woman's Club
Turns To Hilarity-To
Give Poor Taste Party

Believe it or not, but the hus-
bands will actually wish they
could be among those present at
the next meeting of the Rockville
Woman's Club. The ladies are go
ing to hold Poor Taste" party,
and will come CARRIED in the most
outlandish costumes they can con-
coct. This "tacky" affair will take
place on Thursday afternoon, No
vember II, at 2 o'clock, in the
home of Mrs. Van F. Lippard.
Even the most dignified member
of the Club will go berserk, sar-
torially speaking, because Mrs.
Gilbert Hartley, chairman of the
program committee, has warned
that there will be a strict fine of
one dollar for anyone that shows
up not in costume. When the roll
is called every member will be
called on to recite at least four
lines of poetry, preferably hum
orous. Some may resort to nursery
or nonsense rhymes, while others
may prefer to compose their own
poetic gems, perhaps in parody
style.
Prizes will be awarded in the
following categories: the funniest
costume; most original creation;
and the most effective disguise.
The hostesses who will assist
Mrs. Lippard at the party include
Mrs. William Carlisle, Miss Violet
Magruder, and Mrs. Frank Jen-
Rins.

Topheavy World?
CINCINNATI Enquirer

If YOU fel horrible shaking and throbbing some
warm night and wake up in the morning to find
Yourself knee-deep in icebergs, you'll know that the
dire predictions of Mr. Hugh S. Brown have been
fulfilled Mr. Brown, you may know, is an electrical
engineer who that the increasing weight of the
Antarctic ice load may tip this old world of at any
moment throwing her far off balance that cold
climates will become warm--and vice versa.
Mr.. Brown has imposing array of data to BACK
UP his theories He points out that some thousands
years ago. great sections of the earth were covered
deep with ice-areas which today of moderate
climates According to his calculations the earths
axis has shifted before-the most recent shift, he
believes came about 5000 years ago and brought
about the end of what we call the last ice
Age" He isn't alone in that idea. Other scientists
years ago, advanced similar concepts.
But Mr. Brown, unlike those who went before
has definite proposals which he thinks would counter
act the growing weight of the Antarctic ice cap He
believes we should spend some S10000000 in a pre-
minarv survey determine just how fast the ice is
accommodating and how soon we must act to prevent
calamity. Such study, he says, would show how
much ice should be removed-and he suggests removal
with atomic blasts.
We can't decide just what to say 20 Mr.. Browns
UNIQUE suggestion If we only knew little more
Just teeny- weeny bit more-about meteorology and
the kindred sciences, maybe we could be OF help
But our ignorance in this department is abyslnal
Guess we'll have to leave the decision up to Con-
eress or the World Court some other agency like
that Dangerous business, we know. But probably no
more dangerous than if handled it ourself.

Look After Fisheries
(Ketchikan News

The Pacific Fisheries Conference in San Francisco
proposed divorce fisheries and make it separate
from game in the Fish and Widlife Service 1t also
held that Indian reservations in Alaska were de
strucve opportunity in Alaska and demoralizng to
the Indians themselves
The Daily News agrees on both counts.
The national and international fisheries program
is big and important enough to get it's own executive
head. Heretofore, game officials have been given
executive power fishing regulations who did not
know even how fish wggled. Game rules cannot be
applied to fish.
On former occasion it suggested that
fisheries warranted having cabinet officer at the head,
and to be separated entirely from jurisdiction by Of
ficias of the Department of the Interior That may
be bit far fetched but there still to ques
ton the wiseness of rules made by officials of the
department Anyway the fisheries is an industry
important enough to get special attention
