Mars is a very cold planet by
earthly standards, but the
temperature at the equator
. sometimes becomes as high as
that of a cool spring day in
the United States. Even at the
poles the midsummer temper
atures may be a little above
the freezing point of water.
And what of the question
which leaps to the minds of
most laymen? Is there in
telligent life on the planet?
Though Mars is much
smaller than the earth-hav-
ing little more than half its
diameter and a little more
than a 10th of its mass-it's
more likely than any other
planet to sustain life of sort.
It has an atmosphere and its
temperature is not too severe
in comparison with other
members of the solar system.
But experts say we're pretty
sure there can be no animal
life of the sort we know be-
cause there's practically no
oxygen on the planet"
Even if there is animal life
of some variety which doesn't
require oxygen to survive, the
odds are great against our
finding out about it any time
soon.
Suppose. for instance, we
were on Mars with the tele-
scopes available to us here
and turned our instruments
on the earth. We probably
could detect the seasonal
changes in the color of earth's
vegetation-but the planets
mightiest cities would be no
more than tiny points of
light, if that. Not knowing
their nature, we would be able
to do no more than theorlZe
that they were signs of intel
ligent beings,

long list of men and women.
Ten organizations named as
Communist. fronts by the At
torney General were dis
banded.
The Attorney General used
a ready-made tool to accom-
plish his purpose, the Anti
Sedition Act of october 16.
1918. According to this act,
"aliens who are members OF
or affiliated with any organiza-
ton that entertains the belief
in. teaches or advocates the
overthrow of the United States
Government shall be de-
ported" Under this act any
local government. police de-
partment, or even any private
citizen, could secure the de-
portation of a person or group
that advocates the overthrow
of the Government, by pre-
senting the proper evidence.
There were other contribu-
tors to this mass deportation.
After the war. a Joint Legis-
lative Committee was set up
with a prominent Republican
Senator as chairman. This
committee spent many long
hours investigating subversives
and gathering evidence. AL
though the conduct of their
Investigations was subdued and
unspectacular, they wrote and
passed several laws designed
to tighten security.

morning. but not in December.

1t was a damp, bleak De-
cember morning. In the de-
tention pens at Ellis Island the
moaning of the foghorns and
whistles outside in New York
Harbor seemed in keeping with
the occasion. Seated on the
hard wooden benches and
standing silently around the
walls were several hundred
men and women, their faces
and dress as gray and drab as
the weather outside.
These were alien Commu-
nists rounded up in New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
They awaited deportation to
the land whose doctrines they
preached-Soviet Russia. An
other group in Boston waited
in chains and Shackles. Others
came from Cleveland. Chicago,
Detroit, Pittsburgh and Phila-
delphia. In all 2,700 men and
women were arrested. In New
York, the U. S. S. Buford, an
Army transport, was tied up.

Russia.
Behind this mass exodus was
a story of long and tireleSS
work. For a long time the De-

leadership of an aggressive

Teen
TALK
BY VIVIAN BROWN

APP Newsfeatures
DO you know whether you have
an inferiority complex? Or do
you think you are just shy, re-
firing, aloof, anti-social or in
different?
Sometimes we find normal ex-
cuses for not being the Most or
the Craziest or the Best :.
Other times we just hide in
corners and lick our social
wounds.
One teen-ager writes: al am
never asked out with the crowd
! don't know a boy. There is
something about me that people
do not like. What can a teen
ager do to overcome an inferior
ity complex?
Although this girl seems to feel
she has an inferiority complex,
maybe she just doesn't take the
time or trouble to know people
or to let them know her. Lots of
young people have this problem
and those who've managed to
overcome it are happy to pass on
ways it can be done, Here goes:
l. Learn to do one thing well.
This could be singing, dancing,
playing the piano, performing
magic or training animals, de-
pending on your aptitudes. What
ever you choose, stick to it,
study it and pretty soon you'll
be able to do it better than any
amateur, perhaps. You'll have
plenty of time to concentrate on
it, too, if you aren't too popular
now. But just wait until you've
mastered your hobby, then watch
the invitations pour in. You can
launch yourself to a group merely
by inviting crowd to your home,
and then by way of entertaining,
do your bit. You'll never be a
wallflower again.
Practice smiling in front of
your mirror, if you usually are a
sourpusS. Learn to burst into an
uninhibited grin, and you'll al
ways have friends. But don't run
around grinning like an idiot.
Save your smiles for people who
interest you. And don't clamp
your lips together just because
your teeth aren't perfect. If you
keep them white and sparkling,
they'll captivate your audience.
.--.3. Try to work up an interest

Inspired by the presence of
Miss Cecilia Healey, of Spring
field, ranking officer of the Ohio
Business and Professional Wo-
mems Federation, and an almost
100 percent attendance OF its
membership, the 1953-54 year for
London Business and Professional
Women got off to one of the
most auspicious starts in the
clubs five years, at a dinner
meeting at Fettrows, Monday
night.
Miss Healy with another guest
from the Springfield Club, Mrs.
Angie Harrigan, listened in on
a business session conducted by
Miss Ruth Armstrong, president,
which gave the visitors an idea of
the active year the London Club
is anticipating.
Miss Healy is a calm, capable
speaker. Fired with enthusiasm
for her job, she spoke extempo-
raneously and paid high compli-
ment to the London club for the
work accomplished since its or
ganization Just one quote from
her excellent talk on what Busi-
ness and Professional Women as
a group stand for, tells a mean
ingful story, II wish there were
some words of inspiration to spur
you on to do all you have and
more-'you are not afraid to face
realities for you are Business and
Professional Women and by you,
and with you, all things are pos
sible.'"
One of the clubs projects to

A member of a pioneer London
family who was born here four
score and ten years ago, was
crowned Queen of the Order of
the Eastern Star" at ceremonies in
the Masonic Temple in st. Peters
burg, Florida Miss Sarah Van
WAGNER was accorded that honor
on Friday, September 18, when
she celebrated her ninetieth birth
day.
Miss Sarah" was a prominent
resident of London for many
years in her early career. She was
a partner in the Johnstin, Van
Wagner and West drygoods store
here until the store was sold and
then went to Pittsburgh where she
was employed. From there she
went to Clearwater, Florida to ac-
cept a position and remained for
some time, returning to London to
care for her sister, the late Aunt
Maggie" Van Wagner, during her
last illness. She returned to Clear
water where she remained until Is
years ago when she entered the
Masonic Home at st. Petersburg.
Today at 90, Miss Sarah is
still active in church and guild
work and occupies a great part of
her time knitting and sewing, MAX
ing all kinds of clever articles to
be sold by charitable organiza-
tions.
The Clearwater Sun, carried the
following story in part, with a pic
ture of Miss Sarah" cutting her
cake, concerning the event.
Large floor baskets of croton
leaves were at the entrance arch
way of the Masonic Temple, and
bouquets of ANIMALS, together with
many hibiscus blooms decorated
the social rooms. In order to have
proper setting for the corona
tion,' special throne was arrang-
ed with two floor candelabras.

in things other people like to

fascinated with geology is no
reason to expect that others will

from newspapers the current
news that helps make casual con-
Versation-sports, world news,
politics, plays, books, opera. But
do not try to take the conversa-
tion over by being opinionated,
or become argumentative because
your friends do not understand
your point of view

problems you will forget your
own, and perhaps make very real
friends by lending a helping hand.
5. Join a hobby club for best
social contacts. An interest in
photography, stamps, coins and
dramatics will keep you busy and
throw you into contact with peo-
pie who have common interests.
Outdoor sports are fun too,
whether you skate on a local
pond or join a club. YWCA pools
are available all winter for swim
ming enthusiasts, and during the
warmer months The American
Youth Hostels bicycle tours are
fun and carefree experiences.
