They're Going To Try To
Tame Avalanches
Davos, Switzerland, June 23. Avalanche experts from eight countries are to meet in Switzerland next week to study the prob- lems of avalanche control.
It is hoped that the findings of the experts, who come from Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Norway, Yugoslavia and Switzerland, will
reduce such tolls of death and destruction as those caused during the last winter in Europe's Alpine regions.

They will go to the cene of this winter's avalanche disasters in the mountains sur» rending Davos and study the netual descent of the avalanches as well as the geurrni sur round- ings with a view to seeing how they could be prevented from crashing too far down it to the valleys.
Having concluded that the law of the contract is Hongkong, how the effect of that law upon these can- tricia remains to be considered.
