Astronomy Notes
BY OLAF HALvERSoN

Venus is now the brilliant eve-
ming star shining in the southern
sky soon after sunset. 1t is visible
from 3 to pm. 1t is a beautiful
planet and never exceeds As de-
grees from the sun.
Perhaps you have noticed the
changing colors it has while APP
preaching the horizon. The density
of the earth's atmosphere is con-
stantly changing at a low level,
hence, when it is very dense, only
the red rays penetrate and the
planet appears reddish. A moment
later thinner layer of air passes
by and the star takes on lighter
color. The size and shape of the
planet is also distorted by the
constantly changing density of the
air close to the horizon.
Near her western elongation in
1878, Venus was thought by
many people to be the Star of
Bethlehem" In a dark sky her
radiance is almost dazzling.

Those Shrubs
Wheaton Cries

The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
is richer by several thousand dol.
lars worth of trees and shrubs
thanks to Victor A. Leisner, pres.
ident of the Wheaton Chamber of
Commerce.
Mr.. Leisner learned last week
that part two of the Viers Mill
Road widening project, to begin
soon, will shave off the front por.
ton of a two acre lot he owns
near the intersection of Viers
Mill Road and Kensington.Whea-
ton Road.
The lot was dotted with blue
spruce, dogwood, holly, white
birch, fruit trees, rose bushes,
and other plants and flowers. He
offered the foliage free to several
nurseries and garden shops but
had no takers.
Inc ne found out the park and
planning commission had several
thousand dollars in a fund to
transplant donated trees and
bushes. He called them. within
an hour the MNCPPC was there
with u men, trucks. and trans.
planting equipment.
When they saw those trees
and shrubs they were like kids in
a candy store" chuckles MIR,
Leisner.
The park and planning commits
sion hauled the greenery TO its
Meadowood nursery. The trees
and bushes will be used in future
parks.

Most PTAs are holding theil
April meetings this coming Tues
day instead of the first Tuesday
in April.
Girl Scout Troop 654 of Whea
ton Woods went on their first
overnight, a cabin party at the
Wheaton Recreation Cent e r.
Twenty girls and their two lead
ers enjoyed working together on
some of the nature requirements
for their second class badge.
After a delicious supper of
Girl Scout stew, the girls built a
fire and enjoyed singing Girl
Scout songs. After lights out and
tentative quiet, one of the girls
fathers threw quite a scare into
all of those present by peering in
the door to see if all was well.
Early the next morning they
were greeted by snow. After a
hearty breakfast of cocoa and
pancakes, they started for home
before they became snowbound.

ton is really moving along. A

board is meeting regularly to iron
out a number of details before
reporting to the full membership.
For those of you who are debat-
lng about joining, better not wait
too long. Polly can be reached at

ring and find out how many mem
berships are still open and just
how you would go about joining.
At the Pleasantview Citizens
Association meeting the other
night, Rose Kramer, a member of
the school board was the guest
speaker. 1t was an excellent
meeting. Not only from the at
tendance but the genuine feeling
that Mrs. Kramer was able to get
across to a group of interested
citizens the great problems facing
our school board.
OF extreme local interest to the
group is the bus situation, for
the little ones that must walk up
and down big and little hills and
terrific traffic problems to get
to their elementary school.
Mrs. Kramer promised the
group that because of the widen
ing of Viers Mill Road, she would
endorse bus for this hazardous
route for the children because of
the additional traffic load these
off streets win be carrying. This
was good news for a number of
parents who have been so con.
cerned with the safety of their
children.
The group also went on record
endorsing the master plan of the
Maryland National Park and
Planning Commission. There was
some discussion as to whether
the association should fatty en-
dorse the additional three-cent
tax that the commission request
ed. Most of the members felt
that they are in whole hearted
agreement with a master plan
but they would need more inform.
alton before knowing how much
tax increase they could vote for.
