After The Moon: What Next?
Assuming that man will
now continue to explore the
moon and that there will
come a day when the whole
bit will become ho-hum,
where do we go from here?
The next logical step is
Mart. But what a step this is.
The moon-as impossible as
reaching it seemed a few
years ago-is a next-door
neighbor compared to Mars.
And even landing on the
moon places us no nearer
Mars in distance.
By Clin
Times Mans
Moon--a satellite of Earth
-is 238,866 miles away. Mars
t Fuller
iging Editor
?which has satellites of its
own is 34,000,000 miles. Man
traveled to the Moon in less
than four days. It is expected
to take 237 days to reach
Mars.
Mariner 6 will sweep by
Mars about July 31 to ob
serve the equatorial zones.
Mariner 7 will pass the planet
five days later to take close
up pictures of the southern
pnlar mginn.
Both vehicles are expected
to transmit more than a
hundred photographs, ranging
from full disk views to de
tailed studies from a distance
of., about 2,000 miles. The
pictures will show features
only 900 feet wide.
Mariner 4, the spacecraft
that made the first historic
pictures of Mars in 1965,
managed a resolution of two
miles. The best telescope on
earth sights Martian 1 details
about 100 miles wide.
Instruments will teat Mar
tian atmosphere for atomic
and diatomic dements such
as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen
and hydrogen.
Some scientists feel that
ozone may be the key to
evolution on Mars. The
presense of this oxygen
variant above enters or low
lands probably would indi
cate the existence of oxygen
molecule* that might support
life, according to a National
Geographic report. Ultra
violet spectrometers on the
Mariners can detect ozone
down to one-thousandth of
the amount in earth's atmos
phere.
Mars seems more earthlike
than any other planet. The
Martian day is almost identi
cal to that of earth 's-- ?4
hours and 37 minutes. Its tilt
on it* axis-about 24 degrees
-reeembles that of earth's.
The climates are similar al
though nights on Man are
aaid to be much colder than
ours.
Mars is the only other
world known to have seasons.
The white caps that cover the
Martian poles expand in win
ter and contract in summer.
As the caps shrink, a wave of
darkening occurs along their
edge. Water vapor in the at
mosphere above the poles ap
pears to increase, suggesting
that the caps consist of a
layer of frozen water.
The caps may contain
more dry ice than ordinary
ice. It is calculated that poles
reach temperatures as low as
minus 200 degrees F, which
would freeze carbon dioxide
out of the atmosphere. Ma
riner 7's low pass over the
polar region may end specula
tion here.
But, once the answers to
nan's questions about the
moon are forthcoming, will
the next logical step be Mars?
In our lifetime? Who knows?

Rotary Tar Heel League Action
By BILL BECKHAM
The final week of Rotary
league play for the 1969 regu
lar season ii now history.
Highlights of that week show
ed a strong Cooper team bow
ing in defeat on three occas
ions; First-Citizens defeating
Bunn for the second time for
Bunn's only two Iosmi; Harris
Pharmacy showing Its class by
continuing to win; and final
ly, the selection of the All
-Star Teams for the two age
brackets.
It Is encouraging to the
Uttle League as an entity
that the Bunn entry suffered
its only two defeats in the
history of the league. While
not wishing any team misfor
tune, it is good that a better
balance of victories versus
losses has been attained with
in the league. Hopefully, it is
a sign that the Little League
is stronger rather than the
Bunn team being weaker.
And we 4iave every reason to
beleive that it is the former
rather than the latter.
The Junior League began
with a better balance with the
Redwings of Harris Pharmacy
spurting toward the end to
claim the League Champion
ship. It was suspected that
Bunn, Creed moor and Camp
Butner would be the strength
at the beginning. However,
this proved to be a fallacy as
Nash Farms of Louisburg
played them even and the
Redwings of Louisburg won
the crown, as stated earlier.
At an awards ? picnic affair
for the league players and
their parents at Louisburg
College Student nion on
Tueaday night, July 22; 7:00
P.M., sponsored by the Louis
burg Rotary Club, the Little
League All-Star line-up will
be announced. Their first
round of competition will
commence July 30, against
Raleigh at Garner. The Junior
League Players have already
been notified and are buiy at
practice as their first game is
Thursday, July 24, at Bunn
against Garner. They will be
present at the Rotary affair
to receive their awards. We
encourage all locals to follow
these teams onward to vic
tory.
Special Bulletin!!!
The Louisburg Junior League All-Star Team will play the
All-Start of Garner Thursday night at 8:00 P.M. on the Bunn
High School field. There will be no admission charge; however,
donations are encouraged.
David Batton, Chief Deputy to Sheriff Dement, is serving as
official host to this occasion. He Is basked solidly by the Bunn
Uons Club, Bunn citizens and Officials, and Junior League
Officials from Louisburg \
