VoU probably heard about that
i big 2O0-inch telescope? Imean
the one on Mount Palomar, out
near San Diego.
Well. there was a guy in our
place here a little while ago that
worked up there on Palomar for a
spell. l don't think he was con-
nected with the stargazin' depart
ment. He talked more like a me-
chanic. An from what he said,
he must have helped install
the air conditionin'.
1t seems that when you polish
a hunk of glass nearly II feet
across an get it so slick that star
light will skid when it hits it. you
gotta have everything quiet, dust
free, an keep the temperature
even.
II guess a speck of dust on it
would hide a hunk of sky as big
as the State of Texas" l say to
the fellow.
STATE of Texas;" he comes
back. why, mister, out where
that scope is focused, a million
States Of Texas could hide behind
a dust speck."
Brother" Bushy Barnes, the
newsman, speaks up to him. II
amt doubtin' your word, but
would you mind usin' some other
statistic than a million Texases?
Them folks is size-conscious."
"Okay," the guy says. Make
it Russia - out where that Palo-
mar eye is gropin' the whole coun-
try is no bigger'n an atom"

Starsazin'

Look out" warn him. Don't
mention atoms an Russia in the
same breath. The boys in Wash
ington is jittery enough now!"
What I'm tellin' you," the fell
low goes on to say, lis that is a
powerful magnifier! 1t can see
light from stars so far away the
light started this way while the
whole earth was nothin' but a ball
of hot gases - millions of years
ago."
"CouLDN'T'vE been too long back
- SEEM the hot air we still have"
Bushy heckles him.
II can see you guys aren't up
on what goes on in the universe"
our informer says.
"Oh yes we are," Bushy tells
him. I'VE read the papers all the
time" -~------,--..
1t amt good manners or good
business either to razz customer,
so ! decide to ask him a serious
question.
care they gonna look at the
planet Mars with that big tele-
scope?" I ask.
''Mars!" he snorts. MARS -
why, Mars is just a little old close
by planet. If they ever focused
that 2O0-incher on Mars, it would
bring it so close they'd find it out
back of the observatory"
An the guy gulps the rest of his
coffee, gives us a look intended to
be charitable toward our ignorance
an departs into the outer uni
verse. WAllY BOREN

It's the Time, Not the Food
Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
difference in preparation between
a breakfast and a reception? Par
ticularly, I'd like to know if a
morning gathering after a we'd
ding is always called a breakfast
or if not serving substantial food
then wouldn't it be better to call
it a reception?
Answer: A reception before noon
is always called breakfast no mat
te-' what food is served.

A bride-to-be writes: my twin
sister and I are planning to have
"a double wedding but we need
some help at this point. In our
church there are two main aisles.
Would it be proper for one bride
to come up one aisle with her
attendants while the other bride
proceeds up the other, dividing
the ushers between both and all
converging at the foot of the chan
eel? Or just what would be your
suggestlon?"
It would be impractical as we'll
as unheard of to do as you sug-
gest because no one would be able
to see both brides if they were
divided. Correctly, one bridal
follows the other up the aisle at
the right (Which actually is known
as the brides aisle) and after the
ceremony they come down the
other aisle, which is actually the

TeIephoning Is Necessary
Dear Mrs. Post: Has paying
visits in its earlier sense gone
from the Eastern scene entirely?
Where we came from it was not
unusual for people to get in their
cars and drive around, possibly
stopping at two or three friends
houses of an evening. We were not
expected necessarily. Here in the
East I find that it is not done,
even by best friends. NATURALLY
we would not do it as strangers in
the community They always
seem to have to arrange ahead
Of time so as not to take friends
by surprise.
Answer: In many communities
especially smaller ones-evening
visiting is customary, but paying
several visits in one evening sounds
rather strenuous. Unless very in
innate friends, it really is much
better to telephone beforehand be-
cause there are so many reasons
