Back Home
By HAL COCHRAN

Perhaps you've been way for a
number of years; away from your
mother and dad. And then comes
the thought that undoubtedly
cheers; a feeling that makes you
feel, glad.
You want to go back just to see
how things look; just to act as you
did when a kid. You want to eat
food that your mother will cook
and of inconsistencies really get rid
you've travelled around in the
various States and you've been on
your own for a spell. You've left
the home ties just to play with the
fates for an outcome that no one
can tell
Perhaps you've made good or per
haps you've made bad, but what
ever your story may be, you always
are welcome with mother and dad
cause it's YOU that they're achin'
to see.
It's natural for youth to step out
in the world. It's natural for young
folks to roam. It's nice to go way
when ambitions unfurled, but it's
nicer to travel back home.

using a pebble for tamping down

Begin your search for Draco as
you did for Cassiopeia and Cepheus,
by tracing a line from the pointers
in the Great Dipper to- Polaris. the
north star But this time, do not
continue the line beyond Polaris.
At about the middle OF the line
and just below 1t. you will notice a
small star of the fourth magnitude
with an orange hue. This star
marks the tip of the tail of the
dragon. It's name is Giansar, an
Arabic name meaning the poison
place"
Now. STARTING with Giansar. trace
the coils of the dragon down the sky
between the Great and Little Dip
pers.
After Giansar comes an unfrnpor-
tant fourth magnitude star. Astrono-
mers call It Kappa, the Greek let
ter *
After Kappa comes a pale yellow
fourth magnitude star. This is Thu
ban. which. as we shall see later. is
a most interesting star.
Next. the dragon curls about the
bowl Of the Little Dipper at some
distance from It. Three stars mark
this part of the constellation.
Called "Hyena"
The first of these three stars is
named EG Asich. Strangely enough
this name means the Male Hyena. "
1t bears testimony to the fact this
| constellation was not always re
garded as a dragon.
Opposite the middle of the han
die of the Little Dipper, the dragon
makes another bend and winds his
way down the sky again. There
are six stars ir this part of the con-
stellatIon, all OF tham rather faint.
The constellation continues to a
fifth magnitude star which is about
on line with Ed Asich, and then
ends with four stars in a sort Of
diamond shape formation.
The lowest Of the four is a vel
low fourth magnitude star named
Grumium. This name means the
dragons under-aw" The name In
dicates it's place in the constella-
ton.
Star Is Double
Opposite G-rumium is q fifth mag
nttude star known TO astronomers
as NJ, the Greek letter IN" The
telescope reveals NJ to be a double
star.
The upper part of the diamond is
composed Of an orange -colored
second magnitude star. named
Eltanin. the brightest star in
the constellation, and a yellow third
magnitude star named Rastaban.
These stars are supposed to rep
resent the dragons eyes. Both
names, though derived from diff
ferent roots. have the same mean
ing, "the dragons head"
Near this diamond-shape forma-
ton Is a fifth magnitude star. Al
Pakis, which marks the tip of the
dragons nose.
This name means "the dancing
camel" and like Ed Asich. the
male hyena," bears testimony to
the fact that the constellation was
not always thought Of as forming a
dragon.
Thuban, we have said, is the most
interesting start in the constellation.
Let us turn. our attention to it next.
