...play for the housewife, taught so many to bowl that membership in the Woman's International Bowling Congress last year passed the 1,000,000 mark, is expected to increase another 250,000 this year. In many an alley the beer cooler has given way to the bottle warmer. When Cleveland's suburban Northfield Lanes opened last year, it offered housewives three weeks of free bowling, also tossed in lessons, coffee and baby sitting on the house. By following this pattern (often adding closed-circuit TV for mothers to watch their children in the nursery from the lanes...
...Getting Warmer. "At one point I got seasick and heaved. I went up and joined the chute. It draped over me like a sheet, and I was afraid that when I blossomed again, I'd be tangled in the shrouds and risers. But I wasn't, thank God. At last, I realized I was getting warmer. The air was smooth. And rain was falling on me. I figured I was down to 300 or 500 feet. I told myself, 'All I have to do now is make a good landing...
...area of 1,500,000sq. mi., nearly half as big as the U.S. Geographers define the Arctic as the land north of the tree line-roughly the climatic boundary where the July temperature averages no more than 50°. But the January mean in Whitehorse is 8° warmer than Winnipeg's, 750 miles to the south; Fort Smith's all-time high of 103° is 1° higher than New Orleans'. The annual snowfall at Resolute (latitude 75° N.) is less than Boston's. The summers are brief but bright...
...temperature would increase by 1° to 2° Centigrade. "Southern California might dry up completely if the temperature rose in the way we think it might-making it an impossible place to live, rather than almost impossible the way it is now." The ocean will also grow warmer, and will be forced to release dissolved carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This will increase the greenhouse effect. At some point in this chain reaction, the Antarctic icecap will melt, adding enough water to the ocean to drown nearly all of the earth's great cities...
Canada's longtime aim in regulating immigration is to increase the population without diluting the British strain below its present 48%. This policy has no warmer proponent than Immigration Minister Ellen Fairclough, a member of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire and a descendant of a family of United Empire Loyalists who fled the American Revolution to remain under British rule in Canada. So to Minister Fairclough, the 1958 immigration statistics were frankly disturbing. For the first time since World War II, Britons failed to contribute the largest share of immigrants; they were outnumbered by Italians...
