ASTRONOMY NOTES
BY OLAF NALVERSOE

Many people think that the
planet Saturn is the most beauti-
full object in the heavens when
viewed through the telescope.
When the rings Of Saturn are
edgeWise towards the earth they
almost disappear in small tele-
scopes. This is because the rings
are very thin when observed at
such great distance.
At first it was believed that the
rings were a thin sheet of solid
rock. Such ring revolving rapid
ly about planet would soon
break, just as a flywheel will
break if it is allowed to revolve
too fast. This tendency of re-
volving body to fly away from
the center is called centrifugal
force.
The rings of Saturn consist Of
an innumerable number of small
bodies all revolving according to
fixed law about the planet.

Truck Line From
Midwest Will Cut
Time To Alaska

FAIRBANKS, Up - The first
shipment by new truck line
composed of group of Alaskan
truckers will come here from the
Midwest next month. The service
utilizes the direct rail highway
route via Edmonton and Dawson
Creek.
James F. Evans, president of
Canadian Alaska Freight Express,
Inc, said the Canadians have
given full cooperation even to the
extent of putting in a customs
and excise station at Dawson
Creek, TO supervise transfer of
shipments from rail to truck and
place them under seal.
Midwest manufacturers an
wholesalers have indicated inter
est in the new plan which would
cut shipping time from Mime
apolis and Chicago 10 Alaska 50
per cent.
A shipment that normally takes
six weeks from Chicago by rail
to Seattle, ship to Alaska port
and truck or rail TO Fairbanks or
Anchorage would come in three
weeks by the new direct route,
Evans said
A total of ten rigs will be on
the run by mid summer with
eight days allowed for the round
trip over the 1,527-mile Alaska
Highway route. New 40-foOt trail
er vans and diesel tractors will
be used, Evans said. Some are
now being purchased in Seattle.
No perishables will be hauled,
only general merchandise and
construction materials.
Plans are to develop a back
haul to Dawson Creek.
The rate structure will be COM
parable to others for Alaska.

ing how representation of the
Chamber in Washington, DC, at
the CAB hearings, by Larry Gal
vim, and representation at the
All-Alaska Chamber as well as a
conference in Hawaii by past

done much to tie Alaska closer to
its future sister states.

Authorize Two Airlines
Seattle-Portland to Alaska

WASHINGTON R-Sen. Morse
dnd-Ore) urged the Civil Aero
nautics Board Friday 20 authorize
two airlines to operate over the
Portland Seattle To- Alaska route.
He made public a letter ad-
dressed TO individual members OF
the board. He said he was greatly
concerned over published reports
containing rumOr TO the effect
that the board is ready tO recon-
mend renewal of Pacific North
ern Airlines' authority 30 operate
over the route bur mot that
OF Alaska Airlines.
IF these rumors are correct, r
Morse said. " / urge that such
recommendations be withheld
until there has been am OppeT-
tunity for interested parties to be
heard on this issue . A. preferably
in Portland because I doubt
that the Civil Aeronautics Board
would desire to recommend the
certification of only one airline
on this route If it could obtain
the views of those in my state
who would be directly concerned
or affected by such proposed
action"
The senator also noted the
board now has only four mefn-
bers, although a fifth has been
nominated and is likely to be
acted upon by the Senate within
a few days. He suggested the
board wait until it is at full
strength before ruling on a mat
ter having such far reaching &C.

TWO GREAT FACTS

1t has been said that the most effective to
communist propaganda is American mail order
catalog.
The catalog, in this connection, is symbol - a
symbol of what the American system of free enter
prise has done for the living standards Of the people
According to the American Economic Foundation
Russian worker, reading the catalog, would that
an American worker can buy shirt with hours
earnings (nsead of the Russians p hours) a suit
overcoa with three days earnings nstead of At days.
and pair Of shoes with days earnings (nstead
of II days."
If that Russian worker had an opportunity to walk
into typical American retail store he wouldn't be
able to believe his eyes The abundance would seem
illusion. And would the fact that the goods on
display offered at prices within the means of the
masses Of people, not just the few
The Foundation also observed that Marx theory
that mass production leads to unemployment and i'm
poverishent of the masses is upset by two facts The
first fact is that production is impossible
without consumption, and that consumption
is impossible without increase in the material vel
fare of the The second fact is that mass con-
sumption brings economic freedom to the masses"
Every American retail outlet is an example of
those facts.
'Molotov says no force in the world is strong
enough to stop the onward march of Communism -
Press report We're filing this statement along with
made by Hitler years ago to the effect that
Germany would take the world over and rule it for
a thousand years
The person who says he doesn't care what people
think of him has clear conscience dead conscience
or a pronounced propensity for lying.
The poor come in two classes: (1) The deserving
poor; (2) Those who deserve to be poor.
It is unnecessary to advise anyone living in the
world today to live dangerously.

They sent him away after that,
and haven't felt like owning an

For those who like birds about

and wildlife shelters.
| There are diagrams Of martin
houses, of wren houses made out
Of tin cans, and nesting boxes
made from hollow logs. There
are feeding stations that turn
against the wind and stations
that draw into the window for
refilling.
The magazine points out that
wintertime is good time to put
ter about the workshop, and that
bird houses and feeding stations
are good things to build.
We have an improvised feeding
station at the kitchen terrace
and we have been having a lot
Of cardinal and junko visitors

Our station consists only Of q
plank nailed to a stick that was
driven in the ground. It isn't

From that time on, life became

spent looking for, catching and
bringing home the new horse.
There wasn't fence that could
hold him, and sometimes he was
located miles from home.
And then one night!
The horse had been put in the

February is the month to start
sowing seeds indoors If you would
have strong plants ready for the
garden at planting time. How
ever, the time to sow seeds
should be geared to the kind and
the date in which it will be safe
to set out the plants.
If there Is o coldframe to
which they may be transplanted,
seed sowing can be earlier than
where they must 60 directly into
the garden.
Many seeds need only six
weeks from seed to transplanting
out Of doors-cabbage, broccoli;
others take 8 to 10 weeks-pe-
tunia, eggplant, peppers. Some
plants may be planted in the
garden from the middle of March
to the first Of April-cabbage
and broccoli. Others cannot be
safely planted in the garden
until the end Of April-tomatoes
snapdragon, ageratum; still
others not until the soil is really
warm-eggplant. peppers, dah-
lias, begonia. impatiens, Sultana.
Also remember that 1t does not
take much space in which to
start seed, but it does take quite
a bit of space for the trans
planted seedlings. A coldframe
is q great help If many plants
are to be started.

This Week in the Garden

may be said that last years
growth should be shortened to
two buds. Grapes will have far
more fruiting buds than the
roots can supply and so each
season the experienced grower
cuts back the previous seasons
growth to the number of buds
which he believes will produce
large-sized clusters of fruit.
Usually he cuts back to one or
two buds.
The application Of dormant
spray to the rose bushes, decidu-
Gus Towering shrubs and fruit
trees should be q must" in every
garden. It is needed to control
scale insects and to destroy as
many Of the overwintering dis
ease spores as possible. Some
have said that a thorough appli-
cation Of q dormant spray is
equal in several sprays as far as
keeping plant diseases under
control. The accuracy of that
statement may be subject to
question but it clearly illustrates
the Importance.

chiekweed Killer

chickweed Killer
Garlic and chickweed will
soon be recovering from the cold
weather and to kill them use
the right chemical. 2,4-D will
kill the garlic but will not do
a particularly good job on the
chickweed. Potassium cyanate
is recommended for the latter.
Most house plants will benefit
by q bi-weekly feeding now that
the days are getting longer and
they are starting into active
growth. Also, q feeding at this
stage will insure better flower
ing and leaf growth. Old plants
that are to provide cuttings for
roofing later on will benefit by
this feeding.
Store the newly arrived seeds
In q cool. dry place until plant
ing time. Heat and moisture
cause them to lose their viability
rapidly.
February is the best time in
the spring to sow grass seed,
especially bluegrass which takes
q long time to terminate. The
seed may be sown on top Of
snow If we have any. The suns
rays will help it to penetrate the
snow: Actually most gardeners
wait until late March or April
when 1t is usually too late. The
seed does not need to be covered
except as q protection against
mice and birds. If covered at
all it should be very thin.
