He became interested In the hobby before coming to Canada.

U.S. Chess Prodigy May Win Crown Bridge Goes Out, Town Isolated CARROT RIVER, Sank, (Cl'i Resident of this community 60 miles east of Prince Albert were all but cut off by road from the rest of the province Sunday when a bridge was washed out by Ice.

The approach and the east end of the Wltherow highway bridge over the Carrot River, eight miles south of here, gave way under the pressure of Ice. Only cables at the west end of the 30-foot steel span held the bridge from washing downstream. Motorists now must make a 60-mile detour to reach the town. In other years, the flooding river has swept over the bridge, hampering traffic for many days. 1 PI 5 Anti-Recession Measures Urged WASHINGTON 'APi- Tlie National Planning Association Sunday urged t'oiigie-s and the Els-enhower administration to fight the recession by repealing wartime excise taxes and cutting Income taxes for low Income consumers.

The non-profit planning group, privately supported by members In business, labor and agriculture, said In a special report the tax proposals would cost the treasury $7,300,000,000 In revenue. It called t'ir the launching of long-term federal spending programs costing possibly to $6 ,000 a year, with emphasis on school construction, water resources development, city redevelopment and other "truly high priority" works. The organization predicted In a statement that the government will run a deficit of $8,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000 In the fiscal year starting July 1, in any if Congress does not more than pass legislation which already has reached "an advanced stage." NPA's chairman H. ChrWian Sonne brushed off warnings voiced last week by financier Bernard Baruch. Baruch told the Senate finance committee that a tax cut would be folly and a further rise in the federal debt would be disastrous.

35-acre lake free of Ice, Rome 150 feet of two-Inch polythene pipe runs from the compressor In the club basement to 700 feet of lU-lnch pipe In the water. BIO UNDERWATER LOOP The underwater pipe Is looped In wide circle with perforations every 20 feet. Looping the pipe gives ft bonus of open water because the centre raft of Ice gradually melts. Scientists agree that the oxygen content of the immediate part of the lake is Increased by wind action and by the extra, air pumped through the pipe. The big unanswered question, they said, Is whether the oxygen Is being carried to other parts of the lake.

Without firm statistics, they won't estimate the value of the ice-clearing plan. On the theory that the aeration operation has kept the fish alive so that they could grow bigger, the club is adding more fish to the lake 5.000 finger-lings, four to seven inches long. KILMAR, Que, (CPi Anglers have pumped air Into a shallow Ice-bound lake near here to keep fish from suffocating during the winter freeze-up. When they begin fishing once more, they'll have an Idea whether the experiment Is working. First tried a few winters ago, the experiment seemed to sue-cerd.

At least members of the White Rork Fih Club here thought so. A member caught a four-pound, 13-ounce rainbow trout that measured more than two feet long, a record for the lake. SIMPLE PRINCIPLE The principle behind the ice-clearing operation Is simple. It's the same Idea as that used to keep water In harbors, docks, channels and log ponds free of Ice a perforated polythene pipe carries compressed air to the bottom of the lake and rising bubbles open an ice-free patch of water on the surface. The spring of 1955 was a bad time for the club.

Many of their prize trout died and lack of sufficient oxygen was said to have been a contributing factor. The members had stocked the lake Just a year before with rainbow and speckled trout. Club members spent $700 for the piping and air compressor and pumped air to the lake bottom. Charlie Brown and Jack Scott, two members who helped operate the aeration system, claim that the fish that survived the winter of 1955 have developed large and healthy. Thte club has been using 850 feet of non-corrosive polythene pipe and a compressor producing 16 cubit feet of air per minute to keep two acres of the next round of International competition.

Fischer now ranks as an International master-not a grand master as a result of his victories In the U.S. The four-year cycle of International events started last year with qualifications In the various International Bones. The finals are being held this year, at Potoroz, Yugoslavia, Aug. 15 to Sept. 15.

There the top five qualify for the candidates' tournament In 1959, and the winner then Is entitled to challenge the world champion In KtW). World champion Vaslly Smy. slov currently Is playing a 24-game world title match In Moscow against challenger Mikhail Botvinnlk, a former champion. As of April 1 Botvinnlk had won four and lost two, with five draws, making the point score Botvinnlk 6'i, Smyslov 4'j. The first to reach 12'i points Is the winner.

Tal, who won the Russian title again this year, will likely play In Yugoslavia; Russia may have at least six players In the event. Fischer was given a pound-trip plane ticket to Yugoslavia by a U.S. television show. The other U.S. 4-year-old grand master Samuel Reshevsky, Is not expected to make the trip.

IN BIG TIME AT 15 Yanofsky himself was 15 when he entered the International big time In 1939 in a tournament at Buenos Aires. College and navy service during the Second World War intervened before he won aa International master's rating in 1946 at a tourney in Holland. A contrast between Fischer and Yanofsky, the chess prodigy of a few years back, is that the American boy avidly studies works on chess while Yanofsky says he didn't. Just after defeating Bot-vinnik in 1946 Yanofsky said: "I never really got down to any "But they're nary a mite trouble not with 'Lysol' to deep clean for me!" Whenever there's mess and muss, add "LysoP to your suds, and save scrubbing! "Lysol" deep cleans, deodorizes, disinfects. "Lysol" brand disinfectant goes after slime, grime, leaves everything with a serious study of chess.

A fellow can read chess books the only one I've read through was Alek-hine's My Hundred Best Games but I've found the best way to learn Is to play against the masters of different countries." Yanofsky, however, has since written two books on chess and has a fine chess library. He started playing when he was nine, in the Jewish Chess Club In Winnipeg. He recalled that until he was 15 he had no worries except school work and could concentrate on chess. Now, after an absence of several years from major tournaments, he has found that as an adult with responsibilities such as a law career and a family he was married in 1950 he plays a different type of game. Yanofsky suggested that Fischer, now wrapped up In chess and with little Interest in anything else, still has a few years to go without distractions.

His development as he gets oldpr will likely be slower, Yanofsky said. just-clcaned smell! Because "Lysol" kills the source of odors, it helps keep things sweet for days! Use "Lysol" regularly. STUDY PINES DRYDEN', Ont. CP Red pine seedlings will be planted on carefully marked plots near this northwestern Ontario town for a study of their growth, hardiness, form and general thriftiness. Experts said the studies might result in better strains, or production of hybrids.

Abe Yanofsky, five times Can-' adlan champion or co-champlon, North American champion In and Drltlih champion In said that In five years the Brooklyn prodigy will probably be in the world championship contender class. "He la not the first child prodigy but he Is the first who has ever gone so far at such an age," said the 32 year old Winnipeg lawyer In an Interview. COMPARED WITH RUSSIAN He compared Fischer to Mikhail Tal, youngest player ever to reach the Russian championship which he won in 1936 at age 19.

Tal's attainment compared with that of the younger American, since It Is harder to win the Russian title than the American. "It is quite possible that In a couple of years Fischer will become a grand master," he said. However, Yanofsky said he doubt Fischer will reach the world championship class In the Or e-t I El work 6 I Others talk value. Meteor means value for '58. In a year when other cars have gone UP in price, many Meteor models are actually lower priced than comparably equipped 1957 Meteors.

For instance, the Meteor Rideau Four-Door sedan shown here, is not only lower priced than it was in 1957, but it is lower priced than over fifty other models in the low-price field. By every comparison; ride, styling, comfort and performance, Meteor is Canada's best value by far in the low price field. Get the lowdown on low price from your Meteor dealer soon.
