This shows what would have happened If the wandering lumps or even the mass nf them in the head of the comet should strike any large city in Canada. Not only would the cities themselves be destroyed, but the crust of the earth would be breached and terrific earthouakes would result. People in the foreground are shown praying on the brink of an abyss while comet fragments rain down from the brilliantly lit heavens and the cities are pounded into dust in the background. ..w.-.v.v.-.v.-.v TODAY'S STOCKS Courtesy S.

The current rate of 35.4 per thousand compares with 29.1 per thousand before the war and reflects a large increase in the number of marriages. The bureau says this' birth rate never before was approached in the country. The famine which ravaged the country Immediately after the war had Its effect In a very low birth rate in large cities, which reported a rate of 14.8 for January, 1948, but that rate has been climbing until the latest report from the large cities shows a rate of 38.1 per thousand. The country also reports a low death rate, although statisticians suggest that many premature deaths among older people during the famine may be partly responsible for the better showing now.
