TINY MOONS ONLY
AS l. AWAY

Amateur Astronomer John P.
Bagby Of Chicago, has discovered
what he thinks are small moons
only ATS miles from the earth's
surface. They are actually small
satellites spinning around the
earth at about $4,000 miles an
hour.
The discovery - yet to be YER
flied II is of tremendous military
and scientific significance, and
means that these small moons will
probably be the first heavenly
bodies to be reached by the scien-
lists of the future.
Bagby's discovery was made
with a six-inch, homemade tele-
scope, and he has recruited a
team of skilled amateur astrono-
mers to help him identity the
moons he thinks he has found. The
answer to the question whether
the moons r actually there will
probably be finally determined in
the next few months.
Meanwhile, it appears that
mans ageless search for these
small moons, which from time to
time have been reported by as
tronomers, might have been end

recent years, the job is pressing.
We do not believe the majority
of American citizens will tolerate
an inadequate public school sys-

Responsible citizens of all de-
nominations and creeds should
join behind some program to con-
struct adequate school facilities.
We prefer programs initiated at
the local level, and at the State
level, with perhaps matching Fed
eral funds, but not control. The
primary responsibility rests
%squarely on the shoulders of the
citizens of each community, and

CHALLENGE OF OVER
LOADED

The nation today is confronted
with a serious challenge as a re-
suit of the overlooking of the pub
lie schools. The public school
system is n of the great demo-
cratic features of this nation, and,
in u system of government.
good citizenship requires that we
MAINTAIN adequate public schools
for all those who wish to attend
them.
The President has met this
problem with a proposed program
which would bring Federal aid to
the states in the form of school
construction.
Not only do we need more
schools but more teachers, more
equipment and, therefore, more
money. At present, there are &c.
100000 boys and girls of school
age in the country, but in the
next five years, the total will rise
to AZ, OOO, 900.
It is obvious that present-day
facilities will not absorb such an
increase and, actually, present IA
cilities r already over-crowded.
The root of the trouble in the
public school system began dur
ing the depression years of the
1905, when there was very little
money to build schools and during
World War II, when there was a
scarcity of building materials. To-
day citizens are faced with a Job
which should have been done
steadily, bit by bit, during the last
twenty years. And, since the birth

gathered in Savannah, Georgia.
That meeting resulted in the or
g~anization of the first patrol of
Girl Guides.
The Girl Guides, in time, be-
came the Girl Scouts. The Girl
Guides was begun at the sugges-
ton Of Mrs. Juliette Low, who
married an Englishman and who
had become acquainted with the
beginning of the Girl Guides in
England.
Mrs. Low maintained a home in
Savannah, Ca, and in London.
and, therefore, she became ac-
quainted with Sir Robert Baden
Powell. the founder of the Boy
Scouts Thereafter, she likewise
became interested in the Girl
Guides and when the Girl Guides
headquarters was moved to Wash
ingtOn, D. Q. the name was chang
ed to Girl Scouts.
Today there are hundreds of
thousands of Girl Scouts and they
are organized into troops, as are
the Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts must
go through the usual stages to
become Golden Eaglets, the high
est Girl Scout award. Before a
