State law banning from State
supported campuses known com
munists and pleaders of the Fifth
Amendment.
Department Adjutant Nash Mc-
Kee of Raleigh said the Execu

department’s judge advocate,
Clarence Boyari of High Point,
to draw up an appropriate resolu

-Mr. McKee said the resolution
will commend the State Legisla

More than 450 persons turned
out for the installation of officers
which preceded the executive
committee meeting at the home

The new department command

Eclipse Coming On July 20
By BRADLEY GATES
The Moot will partially eclipse
the Sun over North Carolina late
in the afternoon of Saturday, Ju
ly 20. The whole process of the
eclipse will last a little over two
hours, but only 50 .per cent of
the sun’s surface will be hidden
from North Carolina at the
eclipse’s maximum point.
At about 3:45 pm. EST, July
20', the Moon will begin to pass
between the Sun and Earth.
Maximum point of eclipse will
come at about 4:55 and the Sun
will complete emerge again at
about 5:55.
For ten days, starting July 12,
the Morehead Planetarium in
Chapel Hill will include in its reg
ular summer program, “Millions
of Moots,” a 10-minute detailed
explanation of solar eclipses. The
added section will occur at the
beginning of the program, and
will include a special view of the
eclipse as seen front Maine,
where the eclipse will be total;
“Millions of Moons,” an explor
ation of the millions of heavenly
bodies that are actually moons,
though hardly anybody besides
astronomers think of them as
such, is presented daily at the
Planetarium through August. The
solar eclipse section will be pre
sented for the last time at 8:30
p.m. July 21 .
An eclipse of the Sun occurs
only when the moon passes be
tween the Earth and the Sun.
Several variables are present in
an eclipse, each of which must be
exactly right before an eclipse
can occur.
For instance, the moon crosses
the plane of the Earth’s revolu
tion about the sun twice a month.
The points at which the moon
crosses the plane are called
nodes. But it is only when one
of these nodes is in a direct line
between the Earth and the Sun
that an eclipse can occur.
Not all eclipses are total. As
far as North Carolina is concern
ed, this month’s eclipse is not a
very good one: only about half

Firm’s Recognition
John W. Gibson, district man

the Sun will be hidden. The path
of totality, or line of points on
the Earth’s surface at which the
eclipse will .be total, crosses
Maine and ‘Canada, pointing
roughly northeast. The path of
totality will only be about 60
miles wide.
Sometimes what would other
wise be a total eclipse fails to
be one because of the Moon’s
distance from the Earth. At
times the Moon is close enough
to the Earth to more than obs
cure the Sun, but at other times
it is far enough away to allow
a ring of Sun to appear all around
the Moon at the time of eclipse.
Watching an eclipse of the
Sun is not as simple as it might
seem. It is dangerous to look di
rectly at the Sun with the nak
ed eye, and even more dangerous
to view the Sun through an un
filtered telescope. Ordinary dark
glasses do not give the human
eye nearly enough protection
from the Sun’s ultraviolet and
infrared radiation. Severe dam
age to the retina of the eye can
result from looking at the Sun’s
light through a telescope or bi
noculars, even when the sky is
hazy or clouded. A sudden clear
ing of the clouds can cetch yoy
unaware and do eye damage be
fore you know that it is done.
The brightness of the visible
parts of the Sun is not decreas
ed in an eclipse.
If a telescope is used without
a dense filter, project the sun’s
image on a piece of cardboard
held about a foot from the eye
piece of the telescope.
The Eastman Kodak Company
makes the following recommen
dations for solar filters:
"Always use a filter that will
absorb equally and sufficiently
the ultraviolet, visible, and in
frared energy of the Sun. A neu
tral density filter of metallic sil
ver should have a density of
at least 6.0. Place it in front of
your eyes before facing the sun.
Or use two thicknesses of black
and-white (not color) film that
have been completely exposed
and developed to maximum den
sity. This provides adequate pro
tection for naked-eye use only.

The bigger your family...the more you'll save!
Ask Congress to f ass monoy-saving
"Minimum Freight Rates" legislation now!
LOOK sround your dining room table. Nearly
everything you see in fact, almost everything on
the family shopping list (meat, chicken, eggs, but
ter, milk, vegetables, and many other items)—will
be favorably affected when the “Minimum Freight
Rates" bills now before Congress are passed. Why?
Because many freight rates are now higher than
they need be. They can i- and will —be reduced
.when railroads have freedom to lower rates.
Lower freight charges mean lower prices for
you, the consumer. But what happens today when
railroads try to lower their freight charges? On
freight that moves in large volume, our requests
to lower our rates are almost invariably opposed
by barge or truck interests •- sometimes both. This
*«Bulta in long, costly regulatory delay and, too
Often, our request is turned down cold. This keeps
«jtt freight charges artificially high and costs you
fioney. <
Excessive regulation -a throwback to the days
when railroads had no competition—is responsible.
It was needed then. It is ridiculous now. This is
UNG Gets Easter Seal Check
A check for $4,398.75 from the
Easter Seal Research Foundation
has been presented to the Uni
versity School of ~Medicine for
continued support of a research
project which may contribute to
prevention and treatment of vi
tamin D resistant rickets and
other diseases of the bone.
The Foundation, established by
the National Society for Crippled
Children and Adults, supports re
search dealing with causes of
many crippling conditions and
improved rehabilitation techni
ques.
Clarence E. Whitefield, presi
dent of the North Carolina Socie
ty for Crippled Children and
Adults, presented the check here
last weekend to William C. Fri
day, president of the Consolidat
ed University. Also present for
the occasion was Dr. T. Franklin
Williams, principal investigator
for the research project which
is called “Studies of Phosphor
ous and Calcium Metabolism.”
Dr. Mary B. Arnold is co-investi
gator for the study. The purpose
of the project is to determine if
improper function in reabsorb
ing phosphate and calcium may
be responsible for certain types
of rickets, other bone diseases
and disorders of the parathyroid
glands.
The current grant represents *
one-half of a total of $8,797.50
awarded ihi» year for the study
which is one of three such pro
grams at the University being
supported by Easter Seals. Total
commitments by the Foundation
for this particular project have
amounted to $27,079. 4

penny on anything without Interstate Commerce
Commission approval. It will permit railroads to
lower prices on Agricultural products and bulk
