Show r r n r H. I. PHILLIPS Caution to Snowstorms Within three years science will be able to bust up or detour snow and rainstorms from hitting big cities, Dr. Irving Langmuir of General Electric says. It will be possible to switch them to lightly populated areas. But, brother, what a howl will go up from the small town .when it finds itself buried in a snowstorm transferred from a big burg! We don't think the little community com-munity will take it lying down. Every village will have to perfect per-fect its own switcher-backer corps to rush Into the skies and smack the storm right back where it eame from. This could result In a regular hockey game of the skies with snowstorms being swatted all over the heavens. It might require offl. cial referees and scorers to determine deter-mine what kind of winter we had been through. Dr. Langmuir says that experiences experi-ences with dry ice pellets in producing pro-ducing artificial rain and snow have had behind them the idea of fighting storms, and that science is fairly close to discovering, how to switch storm from one spot to another. , Personally we do aot wish Dr Langmuir too much luck, and we warn the company that it ir on the way to a boycott by all children, with a secondary boycott boy-cott by lovers of "I'm Dreaming Dream-ing of a White Christmas" and Currier and Ives prints. ... , The kids are more cr less disgusted dis-gusted with the grownups now. They really will get tough the day a right smart snowstorm is known to be headed for their own backyard and a lot of scientists pop Into the air and see that it is transferred to Wappingers Falls or Moose Hollow |
