TALL TALES TOLD AT KIWANlS PARTY
Ladies Night Program Also Staged; Rockefeller Gen.
 ter Theme of Lecture

A lecture on Rockefeller Center, the city within Q city, and tall tales told by members of the Kiwanis featured the annual spring ladies night" program of the Kiwaiiis Club at The Elton last night.
 Miss Caroline Hood described the functions of the vast center, which, she said, includes everything to be found in any modern city, stores, Q university, factories, restaurants. theaters, and hotels. It lacks only one feature of the average city, the familiar city jail.
 George Scott, president, was toastmaster, and seated ct the head table were: MT. and Mrs. Ralph II. Paine, MT. and Mrs. Norman Neale, Mrs. Scott, MT. and Mrs. George Haynor, and Dr. and Mrs. Howard Miller, Or. Miller is lieutenant gov- ernor of the Kiwanis, MT. Haynor was chairman of the committee with MT. Neale as assistant and MT. Paine is past president and was one of the speakers.
 The "Tall Tale" contest was won by Edward B. Tracy, who was pre- sented two punches of carrots as his reward. Others who participated in this contest were Arthur L. Pur- inton, Earl Couch, and Howard Mil- Ter.
 MT. Paine reminded the club members of the crippled children's fund and informed the women that 1t is the custom of the Kiwanis to contribute to the fund on their birthdays. He read of the list of April birthdays, including Harold B. Post, Nelson Miller and Major Albert Hermann. He then gave Q fanciful dissertation on horo- scopes for April folks.

 "Ail we can hope to do," he siad, "is to stop those things which are not good, which are bad for the state. Our record in the house will show that that is pre- cisely what has been done."
 Republicans apparently are pro. ceeding on the theory that not much attention Is being paid to the legislature in view of the in. ternational situation. They ap- pear ready to 60 along with Gov. Hurley on his legislation for the common man," making various changes 50 the Republican party can gain some Of the credit.
 The effort of the party to "get down to the people" was evident in sponsorship of the bill reducing motor vehicles operators license fees from @ to 50 cents.

. Americas Men of Science Dr.. Harlow Shapley--Lives Among Millions Of Stars
This is Che tenth Of series of l2 articles introducing you tO America's foremost scientists.

BY WATSON DAVIS
 Director, Science Service
 written for NEA Service
 Thirty billion stars in our own little piece of the universe = seen as the Milky Way in the clear night sky-and Q hundred million such raiaxies within reach of our giant telescopes each containing as many stars or more than our Milky Way. This isl the vast laboratory in which pr. Harlow shapley does his re- search.
 Director of famous Harvard Ob- seryatory, Dr. Shapley has under his command giant telescopes that spy upon the heavens from both the northern and southern hemispheres. At Cambridge and Oak Ridge, Mass.. in South Africa, and on a Colorado mountain top, there are located the telescopes and other as- tronomical instruments that night after night record the history of the universe. They push the limits of the universe outward. The ex- traordinary distances of intergalac- tic space are such that routinely astronomy's telescopes photograph stellar systems island "universes"-- whose light takes 500,000, 900 years to travel to earth.
 STAR STUDY
 HELPS WORLD
 No living astronomer today Is bet ter known and has more influence upon the exploration of the time and space in which we live. If a new telescope Is planned or a new research program projected, almost anywhere in the world, 1t is more than likely that Dr. shapley has been consulted for his advice and help.
 Philosophically and physically 1t is important to know the kind of universe around us. That is one req son that Dr. Shapley and his staff study the stars and clouds of stars called nebulae.
 An equally important reason is that the more we know about the universe as 6 whole, the better we can understand the sun-circling little speck of matter on which we live. Our sun, from which we de- rive the energy for our living earth, Is merely mediocre and average star.
 PUTS SCIENCE INTO DAILY LIFE

and previous studies on vacant
sites, factories and areas where
plants may be expanded. housing,
traffic flow. areas or routes OF con-
gestion, and railroad terminals and
sidings.
The planning groups are func'
tioning in the defense program with
the aim OF aiding in building de-
Tense projects so that after the
emergency they will serve as long
term social. economic and physical
purposes.
Outstanding among these is the
Regional Defense Council OF the
Hampton Roads Area in Virginia.
This organization, with members
from four counties and five indie
pendent cities, is collecting and
. mapping data as TO land use. popu-
1stion distribution and density, land
ownership, land and building valua-
lions, recent building activity, hous.
sing conditions, thoroughfares, trat-
fic flow, sanitary facilities, utilities,
schools, recreation areas and IA
cilitiss, and hospitals.
The Milwaukee Board Of Public
Land commissioners the city plan
ming board-has provided the local
defense commission with a special
report on vacant industrial prop
erty, number OF vacant dwelling
units, available labor supply. with
details regarding location and trans
portation facilities.
In Concord, y. H. the city plan
ming board made a careful study OF
the civil and defense aspects of a
proposed airport expansion pro-
gram.
The Brookhaven, y. Y, planning
commission compiled a census OF
land use. an outline of existing
and planned roads, a population
map of suggested localities for new
corners. An industrial map indicated
possible areas for industrial expan-
sion, and another map, areas suit
able for air fields.
In Syracuse, y. Y the director
OF the planning board is also execu-
tive Of the housing authority. His
office has been designated TO as
sumo direction OF all research for
the local defense council.
The state planning boards OF Kan.
sss and New York are surveying
idle plant facilities and production
capacity. Planning agencies OF
California. Tennessee and Virginia
are doing special research for their
state defense councils. and the
Arkansas state planning board has
set up special defense committees
TO check on manpower, agricultural,
forest and mineral resources, and
manufacturing and transportation
facilities.
