SEA
SECRETS
Q. What is the deepest part of
the ocean?
A. The New Scavenger Deep,
off the coast of Beri-Beri, in the
dire Straits of Magellan. Discov
ered recently by the H. M. S.
Scavenger Expedition, this sub
marine crater adjoins Steve’s
Canyon, and reaches a recorded
depth (Sparerib, Johnson and
Plumbing, 1953) of 8 miles, 358
feet. A deep dredge haul from
this area revealed a sea urchin
new to science, a big blue Holo
thuripn, a Model-T Ford in terri
ble condition, and 374 corroded
beer cans, relics of former ex
peditions to this part of the ocean.
Q. What is the shallowest part
of the ocean?
A. On a tidal flat 1-4 mfle
south of Jupiter Inlet, Fla. a
depth of less than 1-45,500,000 mi
crons was recorded by scientists
of the Marine Laboratory of the
University of Miami, Miller, Hig
man, and Mefford, 1952, using an
electron microscope. This is the
shallowest depth as yet recorded
in the sea.
Q. Dear SEA SECRETS: My
husband he always says my oys
ter stew is no good. He say the
shells hurt his teeth. Would tak
ing the oysters out of the shell
help?
Mrs. H. O. Pipsbaw, Miami,
Fla.
A. Not necessarily, as he would
probably find something else to
grouse about. Following is a re
cipe for “Oysters ala Decom
pose,” an old New Orleans dish.
Try this on your husband and we
guarantee he will never eat any
thing else.
Ingredients: 1 bucket fresh
oysters, 2 tablespoons fine white
sand, 2 vs pounds rock salt, i
cup diced potatoes, Salt, pepper,
and DDT as required.
Procedure: Shuck fresh oysters,
place in large glass jar with
tight fitting lid, place in sun for
a day or two and allow to ten
derize. Mix oysters with sand and
two quarts of water; bring to
boil; and allow to simmer gently
for 20 minutes, carefully adding
rock salt, a handful at a time.
Boil potatoes in separate con
tainer, add DDT. Shred bucket
on metal lathe, place turnings on
top of stew. Add potatoes, salt,
pepper, garnish with parsley and
a pinch of Drano. Serve piping
hot.
Q. Is it true that the ocean is
going to go dry in a couple of
billion year? This worries me, as
I hate to sit idly by instead of
doing something about it.
Barney Gearstripdt, St. Peters
burg, Fla.
A. You might join the newly
formed S. W. R. L. (Sea Water
Returners League), whose func
tion it is to return all of the ocean
water taken from the sea for
hydrongraphtc purposes by the
University of Miami, Scripps,
Woods Hole, Copenhagen, and
other institutions who are thought
lessly depleting this natural re
source. “The ocean is yours -
don’t bail it out!” • motto of the
S W R I*
For Sale - One Model T Ford
in terrible condition. See “The
Smiling Holothurian,” Woods Hole
Mass. (Pd. adv.)
Q. My husband he used to
argue all the time. One day , he
stick his head in a shark's mouth.
Now he don’t argue with me any
more, in fact, he don’t do any
thing. He don’t eves move. Could
you tell me did the shark have
anythihg to do with this?
Mrs. Irma Kapoofaik, Saraso
ta, ria.
A. It would be a good idea for
you to examine your husband
carefully, starting with the head,
and see if anything is missing.
If you can’t find his bend to be
gin' with, you have probably lo
cated the seat of hit trouble, la
that case you had better divorce
whet’s left of him and marry the
shark. He’s quieter and will stay
at borne nights if you keep him
in the bathtub.
Q. How does a ship worm bore
into wood without leaving a pile
of sawdust?
A. He starts in the middle of a
(dank and bores outward. In
quiries as to how be got there in
the first place should be address
ed to Prof t O. Wormley, Box

RUTH went back to the car.
“All’s well We’ll make it a
party. Dan. You and your unde,
my folks, Mr. Huflord and Johnny
Lord and—■”
“Bob O’Brien?*
She turned on toe ignition and
started toe motor.
She gave him a quick, angry
look. “He’s a child! He’s just a
sulking child and I don’t care if
I never see him again!”
Dan shrugged. Bob was no con
cern of his. nTfbere do we go to
day?"
“You could visit Dr. Fell. He’s
been asking me to bring you to
his house. He’s interested in you,
of course. It’s not often that he
meets doctors around here."
"A strange man, this Dr. Fell.
Few people like small towns
enough to practice in them for
forty years.”
“He’s a small-town man.- And
stop looking so superior. Dr.
Daniel Curtis. I had a chat with
your uncle yesterday. He told me
you were born and [nought up in
Burlingame.”
“But I’ve seen other places, you
see."
She nodded. The obvious thought
came along and she held her foot
on the brake. “Then if you don’t
like small towns—”
“I didn’t say that I was discus
sing Dr. FelL I may be a- strange
a man as he. You know, I really
wanted to be a doctor. That was
my ambition almost from the time
I was old enough to have one.
But we were poor. My uncle paid
for my education. When I finished
my internship he needed some
one in New York, and to course
I went Why not? I oweo him a
debt and it was a debt that had
to be paid."
“He told me you were a big
help?"
Eton Curtis laughed strangely.
Looking off to the left at the roofs
of the town, he wondered what
the reaction to toe people would
be to the real story. Would they
tar and feather him. or would
they hang him outright? “I was
• big help.”
Program For Farm
Youth In India
Patterned On U.S.
By SELIC S. HARRISON
BHADSON, North India tfi-At
the 4-H Club youth C3mp near St.
Joseph, Mo., they bad no idea what
they were starting when 21 touring
Indian farm leaders paid a visit
one day last September.
One of the Indian agricultural
experts, 34-year-old Amrik Singh,
decided then and there that organ
izing young farmers along 4-H Club
lines could change the face of the
impoverished Indian countryside
and end recurrent famine.
“I had heard about the farm
youth programs in America, but
seeing something in action makes
all the difference.” Singh declared.
Less than six months after his
return from the Ford Foundation
sponsored tour of the United States
and Japan, Singh has helped organ
ize 24 young farmer clubs with
300 members. He has even staged
his first annual demonstration
camp to teach better farming
methods.
Now other young farmer groups
are springing up in the South
Indian state to Mysore and in
scattered areas across the coun
try.
Bhadson is one to the most suc
cessful model extension projects to
India after slightly leu than a
year to operation.
Village-level extension workers
show peasants bow improved seeds,
fertilizers, and farming methods
can increase crop yields. Through
simple sanitation reforms such as
filling stagnant pond*, they can
quickly demonstrate better health
possibilities.
Healthy poultry stock drawn
from breeds expensive to India
such as leghorns or Utodt iUnd
prove especially popular as youth
projects. Poultry breeding to not
widespread at present to Indian
villages and could materially help
ease food scarcities.
Communist strength has mounted
throughout other regions of this
strategic frontier state, the Patiala
and East .Punjab States Union. But
in the Bhadson area the political
winds have now shifted to favor
to democratic groups
Altogether the Ford Foundation
aids 15 extension projects similar
to Bhadson and 34 village workers

“I didn’t help him keep Mi ca

She almost ran the enr tof the

“Unde, you'll discover, has a

He called his sponsor a Bar, he

result is that he no longer has a

This outraged her schoolteach

levels of intelligence, there are
degrees to ability. The child who
tries, but fails, is entitled to more
praise than the child who doesn't

dare you insinuate such things?”
He chuckled. "You’re the most

Sports Roundup
By GAYLE TALBOT
DENVER - A1 Lopes, the
manager to the Cleveland Indians,
is an easy-going guy with every
body, including the experts to the
Cleveland Press, with whom he
works very closely and listens to
with rapt attention always.
It therefore is news that the
man from Tampa is showing signs
of developing a stubborn streak
as his club heads east through
the snows to the Rockies, whack
ing the New York Giants unmer
cifully on the way. He lays that
Ray Boone is his shortstop, no
matter what George Strickland did
late last season and despite the
wails to his literary friends.
The shortstop problem has been
the heart to the Cleveaiand story
ever since the team opened its
training camp over a month ago.
Otherwise the two-time second
placers ere set pretty solidly. As
expected, they are hitting like de
mons, especially Harry (Suitcase)
Simpson, and there isn't an ache
in their great pitching staff.
Bat from the start there has
been the throbbing question wheth
er Boone, after a couple to miser
able years, would be given another
chance in the slot, or whether the
waiver wonder, Strickland, would
be suitably rewarded for the lift
he gave the Indiana fat their fiat
stretch drive after the Yankees
last autumn.
“Boom stiß la ay shortstop,"
Lopes says, obstinately. “My press

Dan! Didn’t you hear us whoop
ing things up in ihe cottage? And
the platform includes all the
things that are important to Dad."
“A community hospital?"
She scowled. “I’m afraid so. That
wouldn’t interfere with your
plans, would it?"
“Do I have plans? I have ideas,
but those are all.”
- "Dr. Fell thinks a community
hospital would better suit the
community’s need. We have a lot
to poor around here, Dan. Could
you afford to carry their hospital
bills, s well as their fees? That
would be a load."
It was a thought Not an im
portant one, but nevertheless a
thought He pondered it as she
drove inland toward Main Street
The poor, he reflected, would be
a problem. Of course if he could
charge the rich three times the
ordinary fees, he could afford to
carry those who couldn’t pay. But
on the other hand, the hospital
would be small and there wouldn’t
be many beds available for char-,
ity cases, much as he might want
to care for them.
He admitted sadly, “There are
pros and cons.”
She nodded, then swung the
cur into Pepper Tree Lane. “Those
pros and cons are wbat Doctor
wants to discuss with you. I may
as well warn you, sir, that you're
in for a long discussion. Your an
nouncement to the .Spectator has
made life less pleasant for Doctor.”
She halted the car and shooed
him out to the sidewalk. She
played with the idea of going in
aide with him, then changed her
mind. “Good luck!”
He laughed gavly. "Abandoning
me to my doom?"
. "Maggi asked me to do some
shopping for her. Big Sam will
drive you home."
He waived a hand airily, then
turned and strode in through the
rate and up the path to the door.
Tall, thin, he r*ade a pleasant
right on Doctor's little porch.
There was a quality to steel is
him; he looked, despite his ami Is
and twinkling blade eyes, the
stuff from which good doctors
were made. She grinned, tooted
the horn and drove off.

las it was when Monte Irvin broke
his ankle here a year ago toda;.
Just what has hfnoen ** *> the
powerful looking team v hkh won
the flag two seasua* bac& ..j i
a strong second last year is diffi
cult to analyte. Some to those who
h4ve been with the Giants all
Spring are convinced a reaction
set in among the players several
weeks ago when they finally
realized their groat center-fielding
teammate. WiDie Mays, was not
to be released by the Army.
Most players are sunmtitious to
some extent. The Giants knew
they won in *&1 with Willie oat
there, and that they didn’t win
last year after Uncle Sam grabbed
the brilliant young Negro. They
came to camp this Spring think
ing—or at least hoping strongy
that he would be back. The news
that Willie's request for a dis
charge had been turned down drew
long faces.
That, however, u purely in the
abstract and could not account en
