Canadian Christmas Trees For U. S.
Christmas trees from
Canada — more than 28
million of them — will be
cut in Canadian forests for
the living rooms of United
States’ homes this holiday
season.
The trees come mainly
from small producers, many
of whom look on the busi
ness only as an incidental
means of adding to their
farm income. In the aggre
gate it is big business, how
ever, worth $6.4 million
last year.
About 30 per cent of the
trees shipped to the United
State# come from Nova
Scotia, 25 per cent from
Quebec, with New Bruns
wick nlaeimr third. Trees
grown in British Columbia
are exported to the U. S. west coast states, and many Ontario trees
go to the U. S. middle west.
The biggest markets for Canadian trees in the United States are
in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, and
Texas; Balsam fir and spruce are the chief species harvested in Quebec
and the Maritime provinces while Scotch pine has assumed first place
in Ontario. British Columbia exports mainly Douglas fir. fNS
Egyptians Among First
To "Measure" Time
The ancient Egyptians were j
among the first people to figure j
out any '‘exact" measurement of j
time. Their calendar of 365 days j
was divided into 12 periods of 30 j
days each, with the remaining five
days tacked on to the last period
or month without any provision
for leap years.
Actually, the solar year consists
of 365 days. 5 hours, 48 minutes
and 46 seconds. Consequently, a
well-ordered system of Leap Years
is necessary to keep the calendar
and the solar equinoxes congruent.
The Gregorian calendax*, devised
and presented to the world in 1582
by Pope Gregory XIII, provides
that years divisible by four—ex
clusive of the years numbering the
centuries—shall have 366 days, and
the century marking years shall be
leap years only if they are divisi
ble by four after the ciphers have
been removed
This system guarantees the ac
curacy of the Gregorian calendar
until, at least, 2500 A.D.
Alaska’s Pioneer
Television Station
Now Five Years Old
Alaska’s pioneer television sta- j
tion will celebrate its fifth anni- j
versarv today. KTVA, Channel j
11, went on the air at 6:30 on the
evening of Friday, December 11, i
1053, and has not missed a day's S
broadcasting since. It was the
first television station on the air '
in Alaska.
In the five years since it be
came the first television station j
in Alaska, KTVA has been re
sponsible for much other TV
pioneering. It was the first stat
tion to go into daytime program
ming, offering the CBS network
afternoon programs. It was first
to offer educational television for j
academic credit; first Alaskan j
station to offer mid-day televi- j
sion news coverage. KTVA is an !
entirely Alaskan station, as its;
parent organization, Northern
Television, Inc. All stockholders
are Alaskan businessmen.

Old China Celebrated
New Year for 15 Days
The New Year celebration in old
China lasted for 15 days, beginning
on the First Day of the First Moon
and climaxing on “Teng Chieh,"
the Feast of Lanterns,
Family gatherings are as tradi
tional in China as throughout the
world and from New Year’s Day
until “Teng Chieh” exchanges of
gifts and all sorts of entertainment
were in order.
Northern China usually cele
brated very simply, with paper
lanterns hung in doors and win
dows. In Southern China, however,
the festivities were usually con
cluded with spectacular lantern-lit
parades featuring huge fire-breath
ing dragons supported from within
by many men.
’ SCIENCE IN
YOUR LIFE
V Target: Killer No. 2
The world’s second greatest kiFt*
er is a worm infestation known as
schistosomiasis. Over the years,
medical researchers have tried
literally hundreds of preparations
in attempts to stamp out the para
site which plagues 115 million vic
tims. Surprisingly, three doctors
now have found a possible solution
in one of nature’s most common
substances, glucosamine.
At the Sixth Annual Symposium
on Antibiotics, in Washington,
D. C., physicians
described the re
sults obtained
with glucosamine
capsufes as “the
most promising'*,
they had ever see*
in the treatment
i of schistosomiasis.
~~¥ty9 ur- ramer a.
uE3 Loughlin, Dr. Wil
liam C. Gittinger and Dr. William
G. Mullin, of the New York Med
ical College and Flower and Fifth
Avenue Hospitals in New York
City, reported that 14 out of
16 patients with one form of the
disease responded well to glucosa
mine in preliminary trials. !
Overlooked for many years, glu
cosamine shows great potential
usefulness in medicine. Only last
year researchers discovered that
adding it to capsules of broad
spectrum antibiotics got more of
the drug’s germ-fighting action in
to the bloodstream. At the same
Washington symposium. Dr. Les
ter A. Nathan of Skokie, Illinois,
and Dr. Walter L. Mersheimer ot
New York City reported that the
glucosamine - antibiotic mixture,
called Cosa-Tetracyn, had proved
successful against many different
infections. Other medical research
ers hinted that glucosamine may
work against diarrhea.
How it works against the Schis
toma worm is not fully understood.
Neither has it yet been determined
if it is effective against other types
of this worm. What scientists
think happens is this: During part
of its lifetime the worm is carried
in tropical fresh water snails.
When it infests humans, the worm
lives off the glucose in the body.
Glucosamine, which is absolutely
harmless to humans, closely .resem
bles glucose and is mistakenly ab
sorbed by the worm as food. The
worm cannot digest glucosamine
and is starved to death.
