Dear Sir:
'"I have just finished read
ing one Of your articles and
/ find 1t so very sensible that
I wish I could pass it on to
the hundreds I have observed
around me ever since I arrived
in this country less than two
months ago.
Because they are 'on the
60 "a hours a day, because
their life is crowded with such
a succession Of 'musts.' so very
meticulously planned that
there is not even a little min
ute left to itself. a minute to
think. to look around. min
ute to dream. they pretend
that they live-but that /
doubt very much.
LAS you say, they never
have enough time. time is their
worst enemy. and in the final
analysis they spend their whole
life going by life. instead of
living it.

This century Of perfected
mechanisms has made possible
for man to cover the greatest
distances. the greatest spaces,
in a few hours. But has it been
for him a source Of enrich
ment. of enlightenment? I
wonder.
Man seems to forget that
he belongs to the earth. that
such is his natural vocation. I
don't want to appear a retro
grade or an enemy Of progress,
which I am not. Only, in
many fields. I consider prog
resS as a necessary evil which
does not necessarily place the
golden age ahead Of us.
Il often think of Rousseau,
the solitary walker. the nature
lover. If not his whole philos-
ophy. I share his immense
love for nature whose beauties
and wonders will never cease
to enchant me.

Nearly $50 observing stations
will be maintained by IL CO.
operating nations above the
Arctic Circle during the In
ternational Geophysical Year.
which starts July /, it has Just
been announced.
The United States will main
tain 80 Of these. Of which 81
will be scattered over Alaska
and the Aleutians. Two will be
on drifting ice islands close to
the North Pole. Others will be
on shipboard in cooperation
with other countries, chiefly
Canada and Greenland. In
struments will be set up also
at American air bases in New
foundland and Thule, Green
land.
Canada will maintain IS
stations, chiefly in the Cana
dian islands, and Denmark will
staff IL others. The exact
amount of Russian participa-
ton is unknown but probably
will be very extensive, since the
Soviet Union has shown an in
tense interest in Arctic terri
tories in the past two decades
and probably has led the world
in geographic research.
Much Of the international
effort, it is announced, will be
devoted to study Of the aurora
and the ionosphere, the electri-
fled layers in the high atmos-
phere from which radio waves
are reflected.
Photographic Plans
Cameras will be set up to
photograph the entire sky
about once a minute each
night of the year. Reports on
auroral conditions will be COM
piled all over the Arctic about
four times an hour and it is
likely that this schedule will be
increased substantially during
brilliant displays and on vari-
Gus designated world days"
The program includes extensive
cosmic ray investigations.
Many rocket flights will be
made from Fort Churchill on
Hudson Bay In connection with
this effort.
Perhaps Of greatest signifi-
canoe is the auroral observa-
ton program. Although con-
shutting one Of the most spec
tacular phenomena of nature
these brilliant, silk-like North
ern lights, due to heavy cosmic
ray commandments Of the high
atmosphere near the poles, still
are little understood and it is
believed they will shed much
light on physical conditions at
great attitudes.
Special apparatus will be used
at stations throughout North
America and Europe to detect
auroral manifestations too faint
to be seen with the eye.
During the last two inter-
national years primary atten-
ton was focused on Arctic
regions. From the standpoint
of popular interest this now
has shifted largely to the Ant
arctic which hitherto was far
less accessible. 1t has become
much easier to penetrate dur
ing the past decade. But from
the scientific viewpoint, the

Oldest Inhabitants

The housing problem con-
fronting the Association Of the
Oldest Inhabitants Of the
District Of Columbia is un-
necessarily complicated and
confused with another prob
lem entirely foreign to the real
issue. What the association
badly needs is an up-to-date
meeting place Of ample space
and with suitable space for
the exhibition Of the many
pictures and interesting items
of historic interest. Such
building should be centrally
located and modern or mod
ernized. A kitchenette would
be a facility for convenient
serving of refreshments on
appropriate occasions.
The unnecessarily compile
Gated and confusing problem
is the provision of valuable
space. which can be used to
much better advantage. What
we have in mind is the neces-
sity of providing space for the
display of the old Columbia
Hand Pumper. the last steam
fire engine in service in the
District, the old hand-pull
hose reel and probably other
large items requiring what we
now call garage space"
Such large display items re-
quire much care and cleaning.
If they are At to be seen. No
care has been given these
pieces. except the steam fire
engine, which has had some
attention when the D. c. Fire
Department has had 1t out for
a parade. The association has
never had the facilities nor
inclination for keeping these
pieces presentable.
There is no existing connec-
ton whatever today between
the Association Of the Oldest
Inhabitants in the Old Engine
House and its pumper. steamer
and hose reel. That chapter
ended when the A. o. 1. was
required to vacate and the old
Union Engine House was de-
molished.
That closed chapter began
when the Old Veteran Volun-
teer Firemen's Association dis
banded. They had died of
until only a few survived and
they were members Of the
A. o. I. With the authority Of
an act of Congress, the way
was opened for the A. o. I.
to have the old Union Engine
House for q meeting place.
The question arises: What
shall become Of the old fire
apparatus?
The large items in question
may find a place in one of the
museums of the Smithsonian
Institution. Here they would
be seen by far more people
than in an A. o. I. building
and they would be far better
preserved and cared for than
they have ever been in the
custody Of the A. o. I.
1t is urged that the Smith
sonian Institution be explored
as to the possibility and prac-
ticability of thus relieving the
A. o. I. of its white Ele-
plants.
Let us stop the hunt for an
old fire engine house and
start of on a new tack.

lage school district might be against con-
solldat1on with the county system, a petition
by 55 per cent of the qualified voters in the
Caldwell district could be submitted and
it would then be placed on the ballot for the
people to determine
If this action was not initiated 80 days
prior to the election the matter would have
to wait more than a year until the second
general election.
The petition could be modified by the
board and if such were the case, then it
would have to be reviewed by the state
board before it could be placed on the
ballot
County boards have not been left power
less in the transfer and consolidation field
Any county board can initiate proposal to
transfer district or to consolidate districts
but the issue would be placed on the ballot
at the next general election to be voted upon
by persons in the district involved
AS a check upon the county board, the
state board will review any action under
taken by the county board in relation to
placing transfer or consolidation proposals
on the ballot.
A second check is placed upon the
county board by local boards who must be
consulted if the county board initiates any
action to place a transfer or consolidation
measure on the ballot.
Also newly innovated is a law that the
board of education of the receiving district
of any type can refuse to accept a transfer
red territory. Upon such REFUSAL transfer
action is Immediately blocked and the situa-
ton is not subject to review by the state
board of education.
If the board of education of the territory
to receive the transferred district was not
consulted prior to the issue being placed on
the ballot, a somewhat chaotic situation
could be created if the former refused to
accept the transferred territory after the
transfer issue was approved in an election
by the majority of the voters in the district
The districts refusal to accept the trans
ferred territory would mean that the matter
of placing it on the ballot was entirely
useless.
However, it is not likely this would
ever happen, for in most cases, the board
would undoubtedly check with the other
board to determine if they were willing to
accept the transferred territory, prior to an
election.
Since the Noble county Board of Educa-
ton has always maintained a policy that
the will of the majority of the people and
of the local boards in district must be con-
sidered before any transfer is made and has
always attempted to determine such WILL
the new laws will not drastically affect their
position in the consolidation and transfer
picture.
In the final analysis, although the new
laws place additional duties on the recently
formed new state board of education and
place school districts somewhat more under
state Jurisdiction, the balance of power
actually belongs to Mr.. and Mrs. Voter.

How To Plan Your Federal
Income Tax Deductions

By waiting until after the
first of the year to decide
whether to itemize your deduc-
tions or take the standard 10
percent deduction, you run the
risk Of losing your greatest tax
saving opportunity.
When you are forced to take
the standard deduction because
your deductible expenses are
less than 10 per cent Of your
adjusted gross income, you
literally waste" your expenses
for tax purposes. Don't let this
happen to you every year. Plan
your expense outlays so that
you go over the optional 10-per
cent deduction occasionally. This
can be done by pyramiding two
years of actual expenses into
one.
For example, assume that you
expect to have an adjusted gross
income of $1,000 for this year
and actual deductible expenses
of about $500 - or 500 less than
what you would be entitled to
deduct if you took the standard
1O-per cent deduction. Not in
cluded in your actual expense
estimate, however, is $3.50 in
state taxes and 500 in home
loan interest charges that will
have to be paid early in 1858 but
which can be paid in advance.
Beat the Standard Deduction
If you act quickly and pay
these expenses before December
81, you can bring your total al
lowable deductions for 1857 up
to $3.50. By itemizing deductions
this year and taking the stand
ard deduction next year -
when your actual expenses
should be somewhat less because
of what you have prepaid -
your total deductions for both
years will be approximately
