Unitar- ian minister of All fouls' church in Washington will conduct ser vices at Duke XJniversty chapel Sunday at 11 a.m. He will be the first Unitarian minister ever to conduct these services. Dr. Davies is well known for his outspoken championship of many liberal causes. Of English parentage, he be came an American citizen in 1935. He is the author of many books on the subject of Ameri oa and religion. Thp. will be a reception at 1 : 30, to meet Dr. Davies, in room Student Union building, West campus at Duke.

Thfv collection shows the pro gress in navigational techniques from the Astrolabe, invented by Hinnarchus in 150 XO xne ultramodern Aircraft Sextant used now by the U. S. Army. The collection includes tne staff or Fore-Staff, Davis or English Quadrant and the early Sextant. Mao Forms Background Forming the background for the oirhiViit i a reproduction of a 400-year-old map on which" the "America" first appeared. Called the "Stevens-John Carter Brown" map, it was engraved, ana printed about 1506 at Nurem- hpr?. aermanv. from wood blocks, and is the first printed mapknown to show any of the New World discoveries. The original of the map was found and recognized by Henry a . A. N. Stevens who purchased ix ax an auction in London in 1893. He loor- cnifl it to John Nicholas Rt-rtwn. who presented it to the John Carter Brown Library in Providence Viv Columbus and Vasco Da Gama. Used independently or in con nnrtinn with the Astrolabe the Cross-Staff could be employed to find the angular separation of any two objects while rts preaecesu was useful only in obtaining al titude measurements. The instrument on display is a renroduction - of a 15th century - x . model and resenuues a uuinci 'Wnss bow." The cross secxion is moved up and down on a staff which is marked off in degrees, and when the two oDjecxs xo d mpasured are lined up at the ends of the cross section, a reading is taken. Led to English Quadrant The Astrolabe and Cross-Staff led to the development of the Da vis or English Quadrant, which was designed and built by John Davis in 1594. The Quadrant on display was built in 1725 and was loaned to the Planetarium by Mrs. Howard Snelling of Pittsboro. In its day it provided the most ac curate navigational measurements of any previous instrument. Some 200 years after the Quad rant was developed, Sir Isaac Newton suggested the principle of the Sextant, bux ix was xiui. developed until John Hacuey duux 1731. The sexxanx useu today for the navigation of sur- fare. nraft is basically xne same as. fv,a wrv earlv models, one oi which is on display.

An even later model has recently been developed and it is elec trically operated for faster ac tion. Continued from page 1) versity, M.S.

In minutes, the stubby, swept back interceptors thunder skyward. This is the real thing. Pilots call it a "hot scramble." Live ammo rides in their guns. It starts when an Air Force radar station detects an aircraft which cannot be identi fied. A telephone call by direct wire gal vanizes the jet crews into action. Modern air defense requires lightning-fast, dependable communication. That's why our radar defense system is interlinked by a web of direct telephone lines. Some of today's college graduates will be piloting Air Force jets. Others will be wel comed into the Bell System where they can help, in peace, or war, in the tremendous job of meeting the communications needs of our nation. flie Ssitisnate iconsnop j) BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM ' , Open till 3:30 ?M East Franklin St. , ,
