On July 29 President kbephow-. er announced approval pf^ mans of scientists to place an artificial moon in the skies for scientific purposes and to share the-infor mation it provided with all na tions. including Russia. Last Thursday. August 25. in the public interest the Morehead Planetarium at Chapel Hill began presenting a' Special program an swering the questions: What is this mmnpsed artificial nmon. vnat will .11 I . In . . anil 1 P feted to do? > In the Planetarium’s demonstra tion titled “Satellites," the public is told that the “MOUSE" (an ab breviation for the longer scientific description “Minimum Orbital, Unnamed Satellite of the Earth ) will be actually a man-made moon circling the earth at a speed o 18,000 miles, per hour. The “MOUSE” which will be hardly more than three feet, in diameter will be packed with scientific instruments sensitive to radiation, and will automatically transmit to powerful receiving sta (ions oh the earth their reactions to ultraviolet, cosmic and x-rays. Placed as it will be some 300 miles above the earth’s surface, the “MOl'SE” will be of utmost potential value to businessmen and even farmers, the Planetarium program shows. For one thing, scientists will learn morb about cloud formations, and that will im prove our weather forecasting which certainly would, save.mil Ums; (h d. ars in crofw.

How is the public attending the Planetarium program made to un derstand . jus’t what the proposed satellite will do? Planetarium Manager A. F. Jenzano answers that -question this .way: “Only in a pfaael2rruin; sudh as Ui<j' More head Planetarium, is, it possible for one to stop the motion of the stars across the sky and speed up the motion of any celestial body ai will. And only here is it possi ble to put a new object in the sk\, chart it on a course, and show how ii will behave in relation to the otjier heavenly bodies.

About 300 trained disaster work ers from the National Red Cross staff, including Mrs. Mabel Brit tain of this county, went immed iately to the flood aitea to help house and feed the victims. But ad ditional funds are needed for re habilitaiion. and chapters through out the United States are busying themselve's to raise whatever it takes to take care, of the, stricken families. ^ r Ine army’s chief of engineers. Lt. Gen. Samuel D. ISturgis, has eifTmaTed the~'damage at $1,600.“ 000,000 or more. He called it one of the worst disasters since Noah’s day. President. Eisenhower- has made 900 million dollars, in fed eral loans available for the restora tion uf defense industries ravaged' by the great floods. Red Cross made an initial ap proppriation of $2,000,000 for the preliminary phases of relief, and E. Roland Harriman, chairman of the American Red Cross, thinks relief costs may well exceed five million -dollars. T ASC Reviews Change* In Leaf Program A. K McAdams, Orange ^mtyr*di9mistrative officer for Agricultural StlWlnUftieS" '■■■ * Wt ' Conservation, today reminded Tar Heel tobacco growers that there have been several recent changes made in the tobacco allotment and quota program. • Public ^aw 21, passed by the Congress this year, made several ehengps in the method of opera- < tioh'-bf the adjustment program on tobacdo for this year and next,' One of the most welcome of these changes, McAdams-said,, is the one . that eliminates credit for over planting. In previous years, under the Law, it was possible for a farmer to Increase his planting history and consequently his to bacco, allotment by consistent overplanting and, payment of pen alty for overplanting Flue-cured inates any credit for overplanting for this and future years. The increased rate of penalty was cited as another major change. Last year, McAdams said, the geoT alty for1 overplanting Flue-cured tobacco was 21 cents a potuM. M this year, that, rate has been in creased to 40 cents a pond. The 21 cents represented 40 per cent of the pfbelous year’s sale pricer the 40 oents represents 75 per cent of the pobtous yefcr’s sale price. In addition; termers who fail to Mircci ASC ^reporters to all of the tobacco thfey have planted, or farmer* who | file false repasts leu-yding production and diapo n l their tobacco, will have • «<rtr aiWttn«j| “r^rtirntd:.^ ' Next year, allotments Mid^meS-1 "**' surements will be in > hundredths of an acre in an effort to crack down on farmers who do not co operate whb their neighbors in their efforts to maintain the price of tobacco through keeping supply in line with demand, McAdams said. ASC committeemen or office employees will be glad to answer any questions farmers might have on these changes, he added. Ground Observer Corps To Participate tn 3-Day Alert Here The Hillsboro defense post of the Ground Observer Corps will par ticipate ia a 3-day alert beginning Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock and concluding at 5 o’clock next Thurs day afternoon. According to the local GOC su pervisor, J. L. Brown Jr., the ope ration designated “Late Summer” has as its purpose to provide max mum training in Air Detense work. Volunteers will man the local post. Some 230 observation posts in 5 N. C. counties will participate. - As Schools Open Patrolman T. P. Smith of the lo cal Highway Patrol office this week urged all Orange motorists -to be cautious and oblerve all driv ing rules and regulations within the school zones as some 6,500 pu|>ils begin their school term, in Orange County on Wednesday, ' Smith ' -stressed the irtiport ance of, observing all school crossings and zones as a driver’s alertness may save a child. Smith also urged the people to watch and observe the opera tions of .our school buses. With this in mind he pointed out that it is unlawful to pass an approach ing school bus as well as from be hind while the bus is in process of loading or unloading students. At the opening of last year’s school term several minor acci dents occured in the county, how even, no major accidents and no fatalities among the county school children. The pedestrians on the roads and highways will greatly increase next week as these school chil dren begin their journey to and from school. Be careful — watch that child—help keep our- school students alive! , to their child as to crossing streets, traffic signals, etc. Par ents should school their child the best they can on all safety rules. The .Patrolman stated that this week the school buses are being checked and drivers will receive their certificates. He also stated that the. patjol would ridfe outp through the county on the roads the buses will, have to travel to make sure the roads, bridges, and etc., are in good shape. If not, he stated, it will be reported and looked after immediately.
