AT Christmas we went back to
our home in another state, SO
missed the Christmas parties in
the town. Three weeks ago my
friend and her husband gave a
big party, invited some fifty or
more guests and she asked me
to help her serve as she did my
thirteen year old daughter. My
little girl was to spend the
night and so went home with

and, we practise that belief. I
asked her how she could talk
one way and do another and
she had the grace to blush, and
say that if her children saw
drinking in the proper manner
then they would realize that
liquor was for social drinking

Child Birth Glasses
Set Two Days Weekly
At Heulth Department

Glasses for expectant parents
have been resumed in the Forrest
County Health Department. These
classes are planned to discuss
with groups of mothers and
fathers all they want to know
wWhen their babies are coming.
The emphasis is on child bearing
as natural physiologic function.
The coming of baby is family
affair and expectant parents are
provided with time for private
conferences. The instructor of
the education for childbirth clas-
ses is Mrs. Mamie Varnado, R. N.
and supervisor of Public Health
Nurses in the Health Department.
Mrs. Varnado recently attended
these classes at Maternity Center
in New York and received an in
structors certificate.
Glasses are held each Tuesday
and Friday $50 to 1870 am. in
the Assembly Room of the Health
Department. A new class begins
this week. EExEpectant mothers
may secure an enrolment card
from their private physician. Con-
tent of the classes Includes -
controlled reathing techniques;
good body mechanics; general
body relaxation and exercises to
telp mother and baby. Visits to
hospitals are included in the
classes. This gives the mother an
opportunity to become acquainted
with the process of delivery. De-
monstrations include bathing the
babby and feeding a young baby.

intervals in the Deep South. In a
like manner, the people of the
colder northland respond joyous
iy to the more frequent snow falls
they see each winter.
1t was not until about 400 years
ago that man began to exhibit a
scien tific interest in snow and re-
cord his observations for posterity.
This wses early in the period of the
great scientific awakening. The
first record was by CLAUS Magnus
the Archbishop of Uppsala in 1850
that included sketches of snow
crystals. Later the famous astron-
omer and mathematician, Kepler,
noted the six-Sided structure of
snow. In 1885 Descartes published
hexagonal sketches in Amsted-
dam. Since then others have ex-
tended the studies.
Like many othe Natural OBJ
jects, there is much yet to be
learned, and some erroneous be-
liefs about the forms of snow
crystals. All snow crystals are not
hexagonal in structure and disc
shaped. This is, however, one of
the common types most frequent
ly seen in some climates. Neither
do all of them have perfect SYM
metry. Many irregular and NAL
formed crystals can be found in
most snow storms.
Natural Forms
Snow crystals are formed di-
rectly from the chilled water va
por found in the atmosphere. They
do not pass from vapor to liquid
to solid as is true of sleet and hail.
The temperature of the cloud in
which they are generated has to
be 80 degrees F or lower before
any ice can be formed. The condi-
tons in the clouds seem to deter
mine the type of snow crystals to
be formed. This is shown clearly
in the process of artificial snow
formation.
The type of snow crystal most
commonly seen by the casual OBJ
server is the haxagonal plane
crystal. This is characterized by
its six pointed symmetary. They
are always thin and frequently
have broad branches. They may
be from 1/16 inch to inches in
diameter. The smaller sizes are
more common. No two have ever
been seen exactly alike.
Platex Classification
Among the hexagonal plane
crystals are found the fernlike
forms. These average about 1/3
inch in diameter. There are six
arms at the usual 60 degree angle.
This arrangement gives the gen.
eral appearance of fern fronds.
The dendritic crystals have the
same basic structure with fewer
side branches, but they are longer,
giving more of a tree-like appear
ance.
Dendritic crystals with plates
have few, if any, side branches
but each arm has a six-sided plate
at the end. Stellar crystals are
simple six-pointed ones with no
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1957-02-21

branches or plates. They are more
like six needles attached at so de-
gree angles at a common center.
These are crystals with broad
branches without side branches.
Sector-forms have broad hex
agonal center with six broad plate
like sectors. Plate forms are thin
sheets having six sides. Some of
these may have tree-like extern
SiOnS.
A more complex form is COM
posed of double sheets. Another
form is a six-sided one with a
small plate at the center. There
are an endless variety of tree-like
combinations. Twelve pointed
crystals are frequently seen. 9th
er forms include two branched,
three branched, four branched.
and malformed ones without linn
it.
Other Forms
Powdered snow gives a great
variety of forms other than the
plate type. These include bullet
type, columar crystals, pyramidal
type, needle crystals, scroll forms,
and others. The minute forms that
have to be seen with magnifying
lenses defy description.
Many forms have cloud par
ticles attached. Graupel, or snow
pellets, is sometimes seen in this
country. 1t is frequently call blue |
snow, or dry snow. 1t falls from
very high clouds at very low tenn
peratures. Some of the pellets are
cone-like while others are irreg-
ular Jumps.
Causes

snow crystals, along with other
has the creed which be-
