ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON

A very interesting observation
of the position of the planet Venus
can be made at this time. Two
months ago most of you will re-
call that Venus was much lower
in the south and southwestern sky
and set at 4 or pm.
Now this same planet is much
higher in the sky and sets almost
six hours later. The question may
be the cause of this difference
The earth has been moving in its
orbit until it is now in position
which brings about the vernal
equinox. 1t is the time of year
when there is equal day and night
all over the earth and this will be
on Tuesday, March 20.
The sun is now directly over
the equator and has increased its
height in the sky 2315 degrees
since Dec. 81, our shortest day
Naturally Venus, which follows
the sun, has also increased its
altitude and therefore stays above
the horizon later in the evening
and sets to the west or northwest.

Hunters Wearing Red Warned Yellow Seen Better by Color Blind

SACRAMENTO R-Deer hunt CTS who wear red caps and coats to keep from being shot at may actually be inviting danger, says a Sacramento optometrist.
 Dr. William A. Mayer Jr. re- ported Monday that research at the University of California Op- tometry School showed 5 percent of male hunters are red-green color blind. Therefore red clothes, to them, are indistinguishable from the green brush.
 Dr. Meyer said vision special ists recommend a golden yellow color be used on hunting clothes.
 "It may look white to color blind persons" he said, "but at least the white would be distin- guishable and not blend into the hunting terrain"

TRAVERSE CITY. Mich, R- A five-week vacation to Mexico was charged off yesterday by the Cloyd Taylor family as virtually a total loss.
 Two days after setting out, the family's youngest boy developed chicken pox. He was left with a relative.
 In Arizona, every connecting rod in the car burned out and the crankshaft was ruined. So Taylor bought a new car.
 He had his fishing tackle along, but the streams were in flood.
 In Mexico, temperatures had dropped to a frigid II above zero and the family shivered.
 When he got home, Taylor found his camera shutter had been stuck open all the time and there wasn't a single good picture among the $50 worth of color film he had bought.

This address was delivered to the
General Convention, Monday July
30th, 1856
To the General Vice President, Other
General Officers, Local Presidents,
Members and Friends:
We have come another milestone
in the history of this Association.
l come at this time to give an ac-
count of my stewardship as Gen
eral President of this Association.
First, l should like to express to
you my deep appreciation for con-
fidence that you have had in me as
leader of this great Organization. 1
hope that l can be the blessing to
you that it has been to me to be
entrusted with this high honor. The
way has not been smooth at all times
during the past year. l visited sew
eral lodges and found them getting
along fine. We are making history
l think if you will look on the first
floor of this office building, as you
come to the second floor you will
see that we are progressing.
If you will listen closely to the
General Secretary's report, you will
have a knowledge of what has been
done in the past twelve months. We
are doing a great work and can't
come down. l know you like to see
your own home office building in a
good shape and looking as it looks
right now, but listen presidents and
members, it takes hard work and
money to keep it looking good. That
is true about anybody or anything
and l am sure you will agree with
this statement.
If all of you could see the dark
cloud that hangs over our heads
this Association would be growing
by leaps and bounds. The other
race is letting US down gradually
Can't you see it day by day? H
B. AS, lets stand together as breth-
rem and sisters. Greater love hath
no man than this: that a man lay
down his life for his friends. Ye
are my friends, If we do whatsoever
command you. Henceforth l cal
YOU not servants, for the servant
knoweth not what his Lord doeth
but I have called you friends: fol
all things that I have heard of, my
Father. I have made known unit
