FORUM FAvORS
 CITY OPERATED SW|MMINCPOOL
Ia n k in Connection with Public School Wins
 Approval

Swinging enthusiastically to new course of action in the drive for a community swimming pool, a cross section of Juneau last night voted unanimously that the City Coun- cil act on a proposal to have the city install and operate swimming pool in connection with the Public School system.
 Approximately fifty persons were present at the public forum held in Elks Hall, where Judge George F. Alexander presided.
 Attorney J. A. Hellenthal turned the tide of the meeting from vague envisioning to specific planning when he pointed out the need for the city, itself to take over respon- sibility of the project. His proposal that the pool could be installed on city property in the rear Of the school grounds, and that the school heating system might be used for heating the water. met with imme- diate applause. The same custod- ial staff might take care of the pool and thus reduce payroll ex- penses, he stated. We must make this swimming pool project public institution, designed for the benefit of all who so vitally need it. In actual dollars and cents value, building toward worthwhile activity is cheaper than building jails."
 Highlight of the evening. MT. Hell lenthals speech, followed those of the regularly scheduled speakers, Wellman Holbrook, Walter Scott and Curtis Shattuck
 Mir. Holbrook outlined the facts obtained by the Permanent Swim ming Pool committee in its effort to make possible such project for Juneau.
 Outdoor Pool
 MT Scott, in discussing the ad- vantages of an outdoor swimming pool over the more extensive rec reation center-swimming pool plan, pointed out the fact that Juneau has not proved itself willing or ca pablo of undertaking the large op- erating expenses necessitated by the recreation center plan. @ Believing that what the city
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-11-09

cent of the taxpayers must favor a bonding issue before it may be passed. Walter Scott speaking as a member of the school board, stated that the disapproval of other Ter ritorial Divisions might be incurred if the Juneau Public School sys- tenn attempts to ally itself with a swimming pool proposition.
 The Rev. John A. Glasse, having taken part in the campaign for the library here two years ago, spoke on the need for a Civic Planning Commission to determine the order in which civic projects are needed and the manner in which they may be best obtained.
 Community WeIware
 Chuck Dominy Wellknown swim mer and member of the Permanent Swimming Pool committee, spoke on the enthusiasm of the younger members of the community for a swimming pool here, and expressed confidence in adequate support.
 George B. Rice voiced the opin- ion of many other speakers in re- iterating it is not dollars and cents proposition, but matter of community welfare"
 Judge Alexander, acting as chair man for the evening, voiced his op- inion favoring the recreation cen ter and swimming pool project com- bined, stating that there is no doubt of the need for such an institution in the city. In regard to bringing the proposition of city management before the city council, he stated that the public must indicate it's support by attending the council meeting and speaking for the pro- ject
 Attorney Hellenthals motion that the Permanent Swimming Pool committee bring the matter of city management before the city coun- cil was unanimously voted by the audience.
 The public forum was sponsored by the Business and Professional Women's Club in order to obtain the opinion of Juneau at large on the swimming pool project. Mrs. Crystal Snow Jenne, Mrs. Peter Ham mer, and Mrs. Jesta Young, all mem- bers of the club, were among speak CTS of the evening pointing out the need for swimming pool in the city.

really needs is a place for children to learn how to swim" he took the stand that the simplest and most immediate means of obtaining this goal were to be desired The pay ment of operation expenses for a recreation center cannot be depend ent upon membership which may fluctuate in patronage, he pointed out A small outdor swimming pool in the Evergreen Bowl would be within the means of community support, and would fill the need for swimming opportunity through the summer months Although more elaborate schemes are more at tractive, he concluded, the sup port to maintain them has not been indicated.
 Indoor Pool
 Curtis Shattuck spoke in favor of an indoor swimming pool, with out favoring its combination with a compete recreation center. AL though offering no solution to fi- nancing the proposition, he con tended that the pool was needed the year around, and should be made available for adults as well as for children.
 City Attorney Frank Foster fol- lowed up Attorney Hellenthal's sug- gestion for city management of the pool with the statement that there is no doubt it could be done" He pointed out that such a move would necessitate bonding the city, which must be initiated by special elec- ton. Therefore the success of such a measure depends entirely upon the support of the taxpayer

Probably many artists do not even
realize that they are somewhat near
sighted because of the comfort this
slight defect gives them at ranges for
working. Their nearsightedness ca n
only be told by noting in their paintings
their uniform use of side vision with
what Dr. Mills calls .its apparitional
and rarefed graces."

DR. Mills does not think the artists

Dr. Mills gives this explanation Of the
vagaries Of modern art in a report to

Visual defects, he thinks, may also
have been responsible for much that is
great in modern art and were perhaps
a factor in the founding of the modern

Dance Of the Atoms.

The new methods of looking at the
stately square dances of the insides
of matter, where atoms swing their
partners in eternal waltzes and big
apples within the bathrooms of the
molecules, were described here today
by two Washington scientists, DR..
James H. Hibben of the Carnegie In
stitution's geophysical laboratory and
DR.. F. G. BrickWedde of the Bureau
Of Standards.
DR.. Hibben shoots pellets of light
at the cavorting atoms who never get
out of step. When these pellets hit
they lose some of their energy. They
come out of the molecule with lower
energy than they had when they
entered. From the nature of the
change as registered in the spectrum
Of the light DR.. Hibben can tell a
good deal about the positions and
movements of the atoms.
This method, which has a wide
use in geophysical research, is now
proving of fundamental Importance
In biological investigations, he pointed
out. AS a result of it some of the
fundamental chemical formulae
learned by every college freshman are
proved to be incorrect. Among the
recent findings, he said, is why gun
powder and nitro compounds Used in
high explosives act as they do, which
might prove of fundamental impor-
tance in 2 future war.
Particles Get Out Of Step.

entirely different principle, providing

not by succumbing to the disturbance
but by raising to meet it. The worker
will tend to maintain his level of per-
formance both in respect to quantity
and quality, though to do so should
mean increased effort.
1T has generally been assumed that
this increased effort was the counter
part of an increased expenditure. and
that consequently working in the
midst of noise or some equivalent dis
turbance was costly business.
Studies are being conducted to meas
ure the energy actually expended un-
der distracting conditions. 1t has
been surprising to find that there is
some sort of adjusting process by
which the organism may settle down
to a level Of expenditure no greater
than under more favorable working
conditions"

CORD CUT,
IMPULSES FORCED
Splitting of Dog Into Three
Living Entities Described
for Science Association.

BY Stan Correspondent OF THE Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 29.-Splitting
dog into three living entities, each
independently learning, remembering
and forgetting. was described before
the American Association for the Ad.
vancement Of Science here yesterday
by prs. P. s. Shurrager and E. A.
Cutler of the University of Illinois.
They severed the dogs spinal cord
in two places, just below the neck
and about inches above the tail.
Thus all impulses from the animals
brain. which is supposed to learn and
remember, were cut off, The dog
could see, hear, smell and taste with
its head, but it couldn't control the
movement Of one Of its paws from
the brain.
Then the Psychologists started to
condition" the three separate enti-
ties Of the dog. technique widely
used in education. BY giving elec-
trical shocks alternately to the tail
and one Of the rear legs they eventu-
ally could cause the paw to move by
stimulating the tail alone. That is,
the last inches of the animals
spine learned that shock to the paw
could be expected to follow a shock
to the tail. remembered what it had
learned and caused the paw to move
to avoid such shock. After the
shocks to the paw had been discon-
tinued for time the spinal cord
forgot and the reflex movements Of
the paw ceased.
The same independent behavior
could be taught the other two inde-
pendent segments of the dogs body.
A few inches of spine functioned as
a brain.
The dog was kept alive under a
respirator while these experiments
were in progress,
