New-Found Crafer In Canada
Revives Inferest
- WASHINGTON.—Discovery of a
giant granite-lined crater in
northern Quebec, tentatively call
ed the world’s largest meteor cra
ter, points up the fact that nature
still produces missiles that pack
more wallop than anything man
kind has yet been able to fashion.
-+ The National Geographic So
ciety notes that it is about three
times the diameter of the great
Arizona crater which until now
has held the record with a spread
of nearly a mile and a depth of
570 feet. Society officials point
out that ‘while a meteorite that
could produce such a scar as that
found in Canada could obliterate
the earth’s largest city and all
the region surrounding it, yet in|
all the thousands of years that
such objects have been recorded
as plunging earthward, no catas
trophe strike has ever been known
in a settled area.
Misconception Clarified
In fact, there are no authentic
records of a direct hit on a human
being and relatively few accounts
of damage to property.
By definition a meteorite is a
meteor that reaches the planet's
surface. Out in space, meteors are
fast-moving bodies that range in
size from dust particles to flying
mountains. When their travels
bring them in contact with the
earth's atmospheric oxygen, they
ilare up and before burning out
or exploding can be seen as
“shooting stars,” to use the pop
ularly descriptive but inaccurate
expression, Literally scores of

Suspicion Voiced
‘Putting together all the authen
tic meteorites that have been
found anywhere on earth there
would be around 1,500 in the col
lection. Many more must have
struck the earth since the dawn
'of time, but there is only one rec
ord of a meteorite having been
found as a “fossil” in the planet’s
ancient rocks. That report is still
open to doubt.
Astronomers look with suspic
jon on old and new tales of fires
set by meteorites, also on stories
of deep penetrations. Meteorites
are usually either iron mixed
with nickel, or stone, or combi
nation of these clements togethbr
with additional materials in
smaller guantities.

In a lifetime of nine years or
so, a female cat may produce more

* Our curtailment of service is caused by the operational losses of our
company. Our bus operation ison a fixed route and on a fixed schedule
at fixed rates. Our service to the public requires heavy outlay of capi
tal investment in the beginning and an énormous daily operational
cost for drivers, gasoline and oil, maintenance and repair a nd heavy
taxes, all at the expense of the owners of Athens City Lines, Inc. These
costs give a reliable, prompt, regular, responsible and cheap transpor
tation service. However, we are competing in Ma s s Transportation
with systems that are faced with none of these problemsand which
cannot provide the same service which a bus company is capable of
giving. Athens or any other city cannot support two such systems in
Mass Transportation.
