For example, in his studies he has | found that persons having similar | ideals and interests find Jt easier! {to work together. Common nation- | i ality, religion and occupation tend | to bring about a closer feeling of unity between the people of a pars | { Heular area. The absence of phy- | sical or geographical barriers helps thold a group together, while a. | mountain ridge tends to separate | {the people living on either side. | | Because people develop the habit | {of going Lo mn central point, schools, | churches and other public organiza- | j tions will be more likely to succeed | if they are located at this commun- {ity center, Dr. John believes.

His experiments showed that icy | surfaces, being smooth and white. normally absorb 80 per cent less of | the sun's energy than those same | surfaces do when covered with a! dark layer such as coal dust. When a mere one-fiftieth of an inch of coal dust was placed on | blocks of jee, the blocks promptly | melted in the open alr while uncov- ered blocks remained undisturbed.
