Page 2-C Gag Law Given Legion Support The North Carolina Department of the American Legion Sunday threw its support behind a new 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 tive Committee authorized the department’s judge advocate, Clarence Boyari of High Point, to draw up an appropriate resolu tion. -Mr. McKee said the resolution will commend the State Legisla ture for passing the bill. More than 450 persons turned out for the installation of officers which preceded the executive committee meeting at the home of Chapel Hill Post 6. The new department command er, L. J.

Friday for medical re search. Dr. T. Franklin Williams who 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 W. K. Partin Gets Firm’s Recognition John W. Gibson, district man ager for the State Farm Insur ance Companies, announced to day that the Companies’ Chapel Hill agent, W. K. Partin, became a member of the Company’s Ca reer Club during his first year as an agent. Mr. Partin achieved outstand ing production in automobile, life and fire insurance, and in service to his policyholders dur ing the first 12 months as an agent.

Mr. Whitefield is President of the North Carolina Association of Crippled Chil dren and Adults. —Photo by University News Bureau 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 The grants are made possible Church of Christ mating at 205 Alumni Bldg.
