OLD MYTH EXPLODED
GRASS TRACKS NOT SLOW LOVELOCK'S EXPERIENCES INFLUENCE OF WEATHER (Elec. Tel. Copyright —United Press Assn.J (Reed. Aug. 22, 12 noon) LONDON, Aug. 21. "It is time that the old myth about the slowness of grass traens was finally exploded," writes • the New Zealand'er, J. E. Lovelock, in the Evening News. "As.one who for 21 years was brought up on grass tracks and did not see cinders until I arrived in Britain in 1931, I can testify that a' first-class grass track is at least as fast, if not taster, than cinders.
"The difficulty is that there is much more variation possible with grass. Bad grass can be worse than most cindersMoreover, weather affects grass far more."
