Nowhere in Canada did I see
evidence of the slatternly road
side behavior which is prevalent
here and is disgrace" The
woman who penned those lines
to the Ontario (Canada) High
way Department was a California
motorist, who added that high
ways in many sections of the
United States are Junk lined
nightmares" Does the provincial
department maintain steady
cleanup crews she wanted to
know. Or are the people natu-
rally meticulous? She further
wondered if Ontario Province
has laws against throwing trash
from automobiles or if the road
side containers at parking spots
were the answer. Such a prob
lem has roadside litter become
that authorities in many juris-
dictions in the United States
have started educational cam

Cruises to Alosko
Nine round trips along the
colorful coaStline Of Canada and
Alaska have been scheduled by
Canadian National Steamships
for the 5,800-ton steamer, the
Prince George, in the summer.
Departures will be from VAN
couver, British Columbia, and
turn-around point will be Skag-
way. Stopovers will be made on
northbound voyages at Prince
Rupert, Ketchikan and Juneau;
southbound, at Wrangell, Ketch-
ikan, Prince Rupert and Ocean
Falls. First sailing is June 9,
and so popular are the Alaska
cruises that early reservations
are advised. The cruises take
10 days.

AUDIENCE LIKES
PERFORMANCE OF
DON PASQUALE
Grass Roots Opera Company
Delights With Comic
Opera

When live opera came to Man
teo for the second time last Fri
day night, a small but apprecia-
tive audience was present. The
first opera to be presented in
Manteo by the Grass Roots OPP
era Co. of Raleigh was School
for Lovers" in December 1851,
1t was warmly received and
when the same company came
again last week to present Don
izetti'S Don Pasquale" those
who attended were enthusiastic
if small in number. Many others
have been heard to say that they
would have been there had there
not been so many attractions
booked for the same week. The
beauty contest and Tom Thumb
wedding the following nigh>
were a large factor in the size
of the Friday night crowd. Num-
bers of people attending their
first opera said, Il enjoyed it 50
much l want to go again, but be-
fore l went l thought l wouldn't
like it," A few who went expect
ing to find a production similar
to the Metropolitan opera or 9th
err large group went away dis
appointed. The Grass Roots COM
pany performs with only the
leading characters of the opera,
with no chorus and a minimum
of scenery. P erf form erS are
young singers with ambitions,
but not seasoned singers like the
stars who have reached the top.
Instead of an orchestra, there is
piano for accompaniment, and
Aileen Lynn, Raleigh pianist,
did a magnificent job of inter
preting the score, changing
moods with each tempermen-
tai change of the singers.
The role of Don Pasquale was
sung by William Beck, young
Wadesboro, N. c., baritone, who
not only sang well but was a
top-notch actor as well, inter
preting the part of the elderly
bachelor to perfection. The part
of Norma was sung in excellent
style by Emogene Gunter, whose
colorotura voice was particularly
good on the cadenzas, and whose
acting ability was also fine.
Ann Bitar, who has singing
roles in other operas the COM
pany produces, played the parts
of the maid, who said nothing
at all, and the notary, who chant
ed several lines. Her personality
was pleasing, but she had nc
chance to display her musical
ability. William Allen, Raleigh
tenor, took the part of Ernestc
and Richard Collins was cast AZ
Dr.. Malatesta.

That she is off the economic

that Belgium Is unconcerned
with future American economic
policy. Their dependence on
foreign trade make the Belgians
the most fervent European ad-
vocates Of more liberal American
tariff and customs regulations.
They are anxious to attract
American investment to their in
duStries. and they are interested
in competing for American con-
tracts under the off-Shore pro-
curement program.
In the opinion of most observ-
ers here. this is a price that the
United States would be wise to
pay. If America could settle her
accounts with the rest of Euro
pean NATO on the same terms,
the general outlook would be a
whole lot brighter than it is now.

The BelgianS have all the usual
European reservations about the
re-armament Of Germany. and
they would dearly like to See
Great Britain come into the
edo. At the same time, their
practical good sense convinces
them that no future risk could
be greater than the risk of con-
tinuing military weakness.
In terms Of her performance
up to this point, and her atti-
tudes toward NATO's objectives
in Europe, Belgium must be
rated nigh in any European sur
vey. And to those who are in
clined to look on the lavish dis
tribution of American dollars as
essential to constructive pro-
gress, this is one country that
provides convincing proof to the
contrary.

little over $615 million, of which
only about $32 million was in
the form of direct grants. The
bulk Of it was what was known
as conditional aid-an arrange
ment under which Belgium
agreed to pass on at least All

It is seen only as a pinkish-red

The latest observations show,
DR.. Hagen said, that this region
is filled with gas, chiefly hydro
gen, the atoms of which have
remained intact and shine with
their own light. The tempera-
ture between the suns surface
and corona is only about 10000

The temperature change from

Atmospheric Tides Show
Effect Of Moon on Earth
w dO11411b OO1I, u y.
TUESDAY, APRIL 20. 1888

Sixty-mile-high tides sweep
over the top Of the worlds at
mosphere.
They move around the earth
with velocities of more than 20
miles an hour. In contrast ocean
tides are puny. These atmos-
pheric tides constitute the single
greatest effect of the moon on
the earth.
This fact was reported to the
International Radio Union meet
ing at the Bureau of Standards
here yesterday by DR.. Alvin g.
McNish of the bureau staff.
The atmospheric tides. like sea
tides. vary with different phases
of the moon.
They become notable only at
an altitude of about so miles.
This is the floor of the so-called
"ionosphere," the electrified lay
er of the atmosphere from which
radio waves are reflected back
to earth. Existence of this re-
gion alone makes possible radio
communication much beyond the
horizon. Without it radio waves
would just continue in a straight
line into outer space.
Here lies the practical signifi-
canoe of the high tides. They
have very pronounced effect on
high-frequency radio propaga-
ton. They explain hitherto
puzzling differences in reception
with different phases Of the
moon.
Evening star., 1953-04-28
The moon is still alive.

Inc moon is Stlal ailVe.
It is sending out constant radio
waves which indicate a tempera-
ture below its surface of from
$50 to 200 degrees above absolute
zero-or about 100 degrees below
zero centigrade.
This was reported to the In
ternational Radio Union here by
DR.. John E. Hagen. Of the Naval
Research Laboratory today. 1t
constitutes one of the more sig
nif1cant findings of the new radio
astronomy.
The heat is part of that pres
ent when the earth's satellite
was formed. either by being torn
out of the earth or being built
up from smaller satellites. 1t
may have received some addi-
tions since from radioactive ma
terials within the moons internal
rocks or by captured solar radi-
alton. Once heat is trapped in
the interior. DR.. Hagen said.> it
is very difficult for it to escape
because Of the very fine insula-
tion.
Radiation Under Study.
The lunar radiation being
studied by the naval laboratory
scientists is chiefly of a wave
length of 8 millimeters, or about
a quarter inch. This is in the
radio spectrum range, but comes
very close to the boundary. of
straight thermal radiation. suoh
as is put out by any dark object
with any heat. at all. The Navy
instrument is especially tuned to
receive in this range. Some work
also is being done with 3-cen-
timeter, or 1-inch, radiation.
which also is due to the moons
inherent heat.
Visible light from the moon is
only reflected sunlight. On the
Sunlit side of the moon the tenn
perature Of the surface may rise
very close to the freezing point
of water, the observations indi-
cate, while on the dark side 1t
may fall close to absolute zero.
But the basic inherent heat of
the great satellite remains al
ways the same.
From their radio observations,
DR.. Hagen and his associates also
are accumulating some data on
the composition Of the moons
surface. It has been recognized
for some years that this is made
up of finely powdered white dust

bring about in streams of elec-
irons. or cathode ray beams.
The electron stream, Mr..
Peake explains, can be likened
to a stream of water going
through a garden hose. Assume
this hose to be very close to the
wall of the house so that when a
slight kink is produced the side
of the hose hits against the
wood, leaving a wet spot. The
kink repeats itself for a distance
of five or six feet along the hose.
It hits the side of the house over
and over again, producing a wet
line.
Now. says Mr.. Peake, this line
is produced in very close to zero
time" It has, taken an appre-
ciable time for the water to
move through the hose. but not
for the kink to have moved
through the rubber.
BY changes of voltage the
Navy scientists produce kinks
in their cathode beAm. The
electronS which compose the
beam, moving very close to the
speed of light. do not go any
faster. The "kink," which ap-
pears as a spot of light on the
screen, outdistances them.
There is no reason. Mr.. Peake
says. why infinite speed could
not be attained in this way, but
his own observations constitute
probably the ultimate ever OBJ
served by man.
He calls the device with which
he is working a '.time micro
scope"-a means by which some-
thing which happens in a mil
lionth of a second or so can be
observed by man-just as objects
too small to b seen by the eye
can be observed with an optical
or electron microscope.
