Q. What is the continental shelf?
o. d. Clark, Fort Pierce, Fla.
A. The continental shelf is the re.
latively shallow, submerged area
off the coast of the continent. It
extends seward to depts of ap-
Iproximately 100 fathoms. The shelf
then slopes off at varying degrees
increasing in depth until the abys-
NAL depths of the ocean are reach
ed. It varies greatly in width and
slope, and in some cases, as off
mountainous coasts, the shelf may
be virtually absent. For the world
as a whole, the shelf width aver
ages 80 miles with a range from
zero to over 800 miles. The latter
extremely wide shelf is found in
the North Polar Sea along the
coast Of Siberia.
Q. Is it possible to prepare arti-
fetal sea water? K. Downes, Clear.
water, Fla.
A. 1t is impossible to prepare a
solution that exactly duplicates sea
water because of the complexity
of the solution. A great many
chemical elements occur, some in
extremely small quantities. Al.
though it would be of academic
interest to prepare such q solu-
ton, it is not necessary for aqua.
ria or even for careful experiment
tai work. For example, in expert
ments with marine plants If the
major elements are present in the
proper proportions the trace ele-
ments are usually not required. If
possible natural sea water should
be used in biological studies.
@. What is the dovekie?
| A. The dovekie or little aux,
(Plautus alle), is one OF the ire
mendoUSly abundant northern sea
birds which the Eskimos capture
quite easily on the wing by means
of long handled nets. After being
kept frozen for a time inside =
sealskm, the dovel1ies are eaten
raw. These little birds feed on
small marine crustaceans, which
they transport back to the nest in
side their elastic cheek pouches.
Once in a while dovehies may wan
der far off their course during
migratory activities, and they have
occasionally landed ON the east
coast of Florida.

CHAPTER a

IT ATE that afternoon, Mr.. Duval,
II the lawyer, drove out to offer
his condolences over Claude's
death, and to announce that un-
der the terms of Colonel Dumont's
viii, Claude'S share in the estate
would now revert to Uncle Raoul.
He and Uncle Raoul were closeted
together for a long time in the
Office.
In the meantime, Aunt Minerva
furnished some slight diversion.
Uncle Raoul phoned the sheriff
and obtained permission for her
to leave; so when Mr.. Duval drove
back to New Orleans she went
with him

the departure of Aunt Minerva
Uncle Raoul had remained silent
and preoccupied, as though some
thing was weighing on his mind.

gan" Il want to know how my

A half audible murmur Of sur

Uncle JEFF was the first to speak.
"But I thought you did know,
Raoul," he said ~Yor father
died Of a heart attack"

said grimly. But who was with
him when he died? We're you,
Jeff?"

the upper plantation the day be-
fore 10 see something about the
cotton crop. I didn't get back
until after his death. But Miss
Delphine was here for her yearly
visit, and Claude had arrived The
preceding morning.
That made them an sit up and
take notice. It was plain from the
expressions OF their faces that
most Of them had not known be-
fore that Claude had been present
at the time of his gfandsather's
death.

Forum in a series of eight articles
last December and January. The
gist of their findings was:
&c. The major criticism that
can be made of Facts Forum is
that its net effect is to dissent
nate fear, suspicion and divisive
propaganda.
1.-THE consistent pattern of its
both sides broadcasts is to reduce
all national issues to:
'Isolationism, ultra-conserva-
ItiSm and McCarthyism-versus-
treason or stupidity.
1.-THE results of this, if carried
into the entire field of mass com.
municatiorS, could be to increase
the pressures dividing segments
of American society, to increase
group hatreds, and to implant
suspicious which did not exist
before"
The New York Post declared in
its series:
"Facts Forum, stubbornly in.
sisting upon its political chastity
has announced that its relationship
with Sen. Mccarthy has been
greatly exaggerated.
"Since the nationwide propa.
ganda machine and the junior
senator from Wisconsin car
scarcely 'be considered strange
bedfellows, it is obvious its protest
is motivated less by gallantry OF
outrage than by a fear of losing
its tax-free status as a nonpartisar
foundation.
The Post series carried page
headlines such as 'How Facts
Forum Sells Mccarthy TAX
Free)" and "Joe Mccarthy.
S. zoo, 900 Machine"
Dan Smoot, commentator on on,
radio program, follows a forma,
of giving one side of the question
first and then the other side.
The critics argue that Smoot
gives the liberal side in q per.
functory manner but gives a real
emotional pitch to the conservative
arguments that close the program
Hunt says he regards Smoot as
more conservative than himself
but that about one third of the mail
received by Facts Forum com.
plains that too much stress is
placed on the liberal side.
A Facts Forum TV program
presents two senators taking oppo.
site sides on an issue of the day
Critics say these are slanted with
"dumbbell'' on the liberal side
and an adroit speaker on the con
sentative side. Hunt denied this.
AS examples of fair exchange
he said, Senators Bricker (R-Ohio)
and Kefauver (D-Tenn) debated
the Bricker amendment, and Sen.
ators Gore (D-Tenn) and Dirk.

Authority.
A third program, Hardy Burt's

interviews with various governors,
often questioned by newsmen from
papers of opposite political views.
Burt, who attended the news con-

whom to interview or what to ask.
