Union Jack Is Flown
For Barmaid at Hotel
LONDON—A number of people
telephoned a hotel here to ask
what was the occasion for flying
the Union Jack in front of the
building.
The manager admitted the flag
was flying to commemorate a spe
cial occasion—of sorts. A certain
barmaid who was always late hap
pened to arrive at work that par
ticular day a feu minutes early.
The manager turned to the handy
man and said. ' 7'his is a special
occasion. Run up the Union Jack"
The handyman took him at his
Word.
Scraps From Sea
Feed Steel Plants
LONDON—All over the world,
the sea is yielding harvests of
steel.
Hungry furnaces use millions
of tons of scrap metal each
year Roughly half of each ton
of new steel is born of scrap.
Since World War II, a signifi
cant percentage of this scrap
has come from ships—ships
sunk by battle or storm, or
worn out by long service and
junked.
At dockside ' boneyards,'’
shipbreakers raze obsolete mer
chantmen. liners, and war
ships. Hut the real bounty
comes from Davy Jones' locker.
In derelict-littered harbors and
along coastal sea lanes prowled
by submarines a decade ago,
marine salvage today is big,
risky, and lucrative business.
Lured by high scrap prices,
and armed with underwater cut
ting lurches and war-learned
demofition techniques, salvage
masters tackle torpedoed ships
at depths where once they
would have remained forever in
limbo.
Lloyd's of London lists nearly
000 ships lying at salvable
depths in the Atlantic alone The
war loss section of a recent in
ternational directory of mer
chant ships carries the names
of .3,940 sunken vessels, and this
list does not include German
and Japanese losses.
