Iceland Is Key to
Weather Forecasts
Reports Jealously Guarded
By Great Britain.
CHICAGO.—United States’ occu-
pation of Iceland isn’t going to help
the weather man a bit—despite the
fact that the rocky island is the
key point for long range forecasting
for the endre North American coasl-
ttue.
Dr. C. G. Roseby, assistant chief
mt. research from the Washington
weather bureau, points out that
Britain has been keeping reports
from Iceland’s weather stations "a
jealously guarded secret” since oc-
cupation of the island.
And Britain - would be foolhardy
_«nt to dp T*1, says Rossby. ‘ The
reason is simple. Icelandic reports
would aid in plotting long range fore-
casts for eastern Am rica, but they
are of vital importa oe for day to
day European forecasts.
‘‘When I worked for Sweden’s
weather bureau,” he said, “Iceland-
ic conditions were the first thing
we’d look for on the chart in mak-
ing up our forecasts.”
« Rossby, who will remain on leave
of absence from his Washington
post until September to serve as di-
rector of the University of Chicago’s
new institute of meteorology, is the
leading exponent of the air mass
theory forecasting in this country.
He believes that within the next 10
or 15 years the U. S. bureau will be
able to extend accurate long range
forecasting to 30 days or so.
Long range forecasting, he ex-
plained, is concerned—not with pre-
dicting each day’s weather—but
with assaying temperature and rain-
fall anomalies that will occur in
•ach area.
"The five-day reports now are be-
ing used for agricultural and vari-
ous industrial purposes, and even-
tually, when these and other uses
become more widespread, man may
become so adjusted to this long-
range forecasting that he will con-
sides it a necessity.”
Hobby Yields 200 Ingots
Of Aluminum for Defense
SUFFERN, N. Y.—A mysterious
stranger with a mysterious hobby
drove to the community aluminum
bin in this village and deposited 70
pounds of pure aluminum molded
into about 200 cakes the size of muf-
fins.
The stranger, who was about 30
years old, gave his name as Ed-
ward Strysko of Suffern, and said
his hobby for the last 10 years had
been to collect old aluminum and
melt it down in his furnace into
small ingots. When the nation-wide
drive for aluminum opened he de-
cided to contribute his hobby to
national defense.
However, when village officials
decided to inquire further into his
bobby, they were unable to find any
trace of Strysko. He is not listed
on the tax rolls of the village of of
Hamapo township in the outlying
areas and he seemed to be unknown
in' Suffern.
Parachutist Strategy
Dates From Franklin
WASHINGTON, D. C—Be.ijam.n
Franklin had the idea of parachute
troops .back in 1783.
"The Command and General Staff,
School Military Review” prints in
its current issue the following ex-
•cerpt from volume nine of Frank-
lin’s writings:
"Five thousand balloons, capable
of raising two men each, could not
cost more than five ships of the
line; and where is the prince who J
can afford so to cover his country
with troops for its defense. as that
10,000 men descending from the
clouds might not in many places
-do an infinite deal of mischief be-
fore a force could be brought to-
gether to repel them?”

Red jCtoss Helps
Solve Problems
Of Our Recruits
Through Its Directors in
Camps Red Cross Links
Men With Home
Washington, D. C. — On the home
and military fronts the American Red
Cross is turning Its focus on the man
In. uniform. In his behalf, "more than
10,000 nurses are being recruited.
Volunteers are donating their -blood
for a huge plasma bank. Red Cross
women in chapters throughout the
country are making 40,000,000 surgical
dressings, and kUlttUig swcuiei'i* for
men in outlying posts and sailors on
patrol.
But these are just fragments of the
story. In military and naval stations,
the Red Cross is concerning itself with
the personal problems of the service
man, helping him adjust himself to
military life. For the disabled, the Red
Cross is on the job in service hospi-
tals, helping to .peed recovery of the
sick through a morale-building pro-
gram.
In mobilizing a 2,000,000-man fight-
ing force, the personal problems of the
able-bodied man in uniform have in
turn become problems of the morale
divisions. Red Cross field directors
stationed in all camps and reserva-
tions have been entrusted with the
task of helping to solve these prob-
lems.
Speaking in a nation-wide broadcast
recently, Chief of Staff Marshall, of
the Army, addressed the following
words to Red Cross field directors:
“When you help straighten out any
of the great variety of tangles that hu-
man beings seem unable to avoid, you
are helping to maintain morale on the
home front and on the military front;
you are helping ns in training for de-
fense.”
The disabled man in a service hos-
pital also can look to the Red Cross
for help In speeding recovery. Medical-
social workers, trained for their spe-
cialized assignment, are on duty at
Army general and Navy h pitals to
.aid service physicians, to act as a
medium of communication with the
families of hospitalized men and to
eonduct recreational programs for con-
valescents.
The Red Cross provides recreational
service for patients in all Army and •
Navy hospitals. Sixty-five new hospi-
tals are under construction by th<-
Army, and their recreation buildings
are being equipped and staffed by the
Rad Cross as each one opens.
As part of the Army and Navy
safety programs, members of the na-
tional Red Cross staff are qualifying
instructors in First Aid and Water
Safety among the ranks of the enlisted
man. Instructors taught by the Red
Cross in turn conduct classes on the
reservations.
The number of Army and Navy
cases assisted by Red Cross field direc-
tors has increased in volume 140 per
cent since Selective Service has been
in operation. During the past year
126,515 rases involving active service
men have been handled in the camps.
The Red Cross recently made avail-
able $1,000,000 to meet an emergency
need for athletic equipment for the
Vrrny and Navy. This need arose when
'Government appropriations for the
purpose became exhausted.......
In addition to providing the Army
and Navy With an official reservoir of
nurses, the Red Cross is cataloging
he nation’s medical technologists.
Through this program. In which ap-
proximately 3,0oo technicians have
registered, the Army and Navy will
select such professional personnel ft
laboratory workers, dietitians, den-
tal technicians, pharmacists and yOther
categories of trained technologists. f
