Joachim Kuet-tne- r of the air forces Cambridge research laboratories recently completed three years of study of thunderclouds. He found a number of strange and dangerous phenomenon. Curious things happen inside thunderclouds, he reported. Updrafts and downdrafts, formation of solid precipitation (freezing of supercooled water droplets), formation of different kinds of electrical charges in different parts of thunderstorm BOSTON, cells. Kuettner conducted his research In the observatory atop the 10,000 foot Zugspitze, Germanys highest mountain, which pokes its summit right into the base of thunderclouds. He discovered that a local thunderstorm can be bigger than you think up to 60 miles across. It is made up of individual cells which may be several miles wide and high. The cell, in turn, is subdivided into other cells, of maybe a tenth the size of the mature cell. The mature cell extends upward to a height of five or six miles where a circus anvil floats (thats a white, filmy, lofty layer of cloud made of ice crystals). It extends through various temperatures ranging from above freezing at its base to bitter zero reading far aloft. There are generally three main electrical charges, a local positive charge in the base, a negative charge in the lower part, and a positive charge in the upper part. The negative charge center is apparently the starting point of most lightning, Kuettner said. Plan your menu around a beautifully glazed ham with a special occasion garnish, for its the traditional style leader in the Easter food parade. Whether its a family or company dinner, there are regular hams half or whole hams to meet your needs. Canned or Ready-To-Ehams also come in various sizes. Slices of tender, smoked ham may best fit the needs of the very small family. If you choose a regular ham, follow the directions on the wrapper and bake ham about 18 minutes per pound. Canned hams need only to be reheated 10 minutes to the pound and glazed. When you select a ham, you save a lot of time. Theyre ever so easy to prepare. Just wrap half or whole ham in heavy wax paper. Place the ham on a rack in a shallow pan and reheat 10 minutes per pound at 325F. Half an hour before ham is done, remove the rind, place fat side up and score the surface. Cover with your favorite glaze. Return to oven and baste til golden brown. For that pretty as a picture touch, garnish the handsome ham d eggs with colored Easter Eggs set in fresh greens. Peel in Cut crosswise, half, in harmless and dip them eggs egg coloring. and make a deviled egg mixture from the yolks. Refill the colored whites, leaving a wide ruffle of the filling at the edge. Place halves of contrasting colors together. Our holiday dinner menu features glazed baked ham with Easter egg garnish, asparagus with lemon butter sauce, baked sweet potatoes, fresh spring salad, hot cornbread sticks with butter, and for dessert cocoanut cake and coffee. at Ready-To-E- Wife Left in Family Car Waits for Thirteen Hours Floor too Hard, So Tamo Deer Takes Over Bedroom COWICHAN, British Columbia A deer named Yellow SALT LAKE CITY, Utah Axel Lindholm of Scofield, Utah, will tell you that a woman can be patient.

The article said in part: Nothwithstanding their gigantic size (males sometimes attain eight feet in height) moose are extremely are easily quick maturing tamed and readily become accustomed to harness. After being tamed from an early age, they do not become wild later even if allowed full freedom in pasture. The article also told of tests made with a female moose which pulled approximately two and a half tons at a speed of 4.3 miles an hour, carried a 265 pound pack at the same speed through broken country and with an excellent, bold trot, covered the distance of one mile in 1 minute and 43 seconds (a speed of about 35 miles per hour). Farmers in Alaska may try some experiments with the moose as a result of the article. If true, it would certainly solve one of their many problems. They could give up using horses, for which feed must be imported, and instead tame moose which are plentiful in the agricultural portions of the northland. the Soviet magazine CREOLE SCRAMBLED EGGS V2 eggs, unbeaten cup chopped, cooked bacon cream 2 cup tablespoons finely chopped Va teaspoon salt pimento or green pepper dash pepper 2 tablespoons butter or margarine teaspoon onion juice Break eggs into a mixing bowl; add cream, salt, pepper, onion juice, bacon and pimento.

He didnt take too well to the hard floor and later sneaked into the house at every chance and snuggled down on a bed.
