Can we depend upon the in
sects to provide us an accurate
temperature reading?
Yes. Eric Sloane, perhaps
the foremost weather expert of
the times, has even produced
an insect thermometer, and one
can memorize it and read the
temperature outside by careful
listening and observation.
For example. In the hot sum
mer, all will-be quiet above 106
degrees, because all insects
become silent at this tempera
lure. Bees will not be heard
above 102 degrees. Locusts
will stop singing when the
temperature drops below 83
degrees, Katydids sing at night
between about 56 and 76 de
grees.
Ants will stay at home below j
54 degrees, and bees become
vicious below 51 degrees. All!
insepts are mute, according to '
the experts, below 40 degrees, j
So there are many ways to gauge i
the temperature by listening to i
and watching nature's insects.
The best gauge of all is counting
the chirps of the black cricket !
for fourteen seconds and adding !
forty. That will be the tempera- j
ture.

ved as a delegate to the North

slature.

Who Among Students in Am

NEWS REPORT FROM WASHINGTON
CMm's Missile
The Need For Haste
Cost 60119 Up
China & USSR
Washington, D.C.--There is
a growing weight of opinion in
the Administration that a major
effort to win the war in Vietnam
is desirable. The firing of a
nuclear warhead missile by Red
China adds to this conclusion.
From the political standpoint.
President Lyndon Johnson and
some of his closest advisors
do not relish the thought of
still being engaged in a costly
Asian war in 1968, when the
President will be seeking re
election.
From the military standpoint,
it may be that by 1968 the
Communists will have missiles
zeroed in on our installations
and troop concentrations in
South Vietnam?a situation we
found intolerable in Cuba.
The cost of the war is
mounting and unless it is ended
in 1967 the effect on the
economy in general and on the
rate of personal income taxes
is going to be painful. Thus for
many reasons there is growing
pressure behind the proposal
to seek victory in Vietnam.
More cautious military ex
perts are skeptical on the
question of complete victory in
Vietnam. They see a real pos
sibility that escalation will be
met by escalation and that the
end result will only be a larger
war, and a greater UJ5. commit

Program.
His keynote topic will be
"The Role of The United Na
tions and Problems of Peace
Under A Changing World".
Kimsey, commenting on the
functions of the Model General
Assembly, said "this assem
bly enjoys a great deal of res
pect not only in our state,
but throughout the United
States. It carries the support
ot the United States govern
ment, the United Nations and
is organized by the Collegiate
Council for the United Na
tions."
ment.
The President, however, is
reported to be ready to make
an effort to up the ante and bid
for victory. If he does, he is
in effect staking his 1968 re
election chances on the out
come of such an effort. For it
is extremely doubtful whether
the average American would
still approve of a big Asian
war after two more years of
fighting.
Although there have been
Faint signs?according to some
State Department officials-that
the Russians are more inclined
to help arrange peace talks, or
might be so inclined under
certain circumstances, the Ad
ministration is not counting
heavily upon this possibility.
One hctor favors some Rus
sian move, perhaps a secret
one, to bring the two sides in
Vietnam together. Relations
between Peking and Moscow are
so bad State Department experts
expect a break in diplomatic
relations at any time.
If the situation deteriorates
to that extent, with Red China
posing a missile threat to Rus
sia as well as to our forces
in South Vietnam. Russia might
silently be willing to cooperate
more closely with China's
enemies.
