The Nations road builders

way Of the future.
One phase of the impressive
plans in the Developments la
boratories will be demonstrated
Wednesday as part of the 56th
annual convention Of the Amer
lean Road Builders Association
at the Sheraton Park Hotel.
This is an induction radio
device which would be installed
in a cable laid beside the road
to warn motorists Of an emer-
gency or difiicult condition
ahead.
Might Warn Of Ice
For instance. a voice from
the radio might tell the driver
as he approaches a dangerous
Icy condition ahead TO cut down
his speed. Or Il might warn
him Of a barricade and send
him on the proper detour.
Another use might be to warn
motorists approaching a COM
plicated intersection like the
Kenilworth Freeway and tell
them how TO reach various des-
tinations by means OF the inter-
changing roads.
The device might work either
through the drivers own auto
mobile radio or by means Of a
special transformed receiver
in the car.
The demonstration will be
conducted In front OF the hotel
by the associations electronics

helping his mate plaster her
self safely inside the cavity with
uick-hardening mud.
Tiny Aperture
She plasters from the inside
and he plasters from the out
side until there is only room
for the male to feed the brood
ing female through the tiny
aperture that is left. And in
there she stays for two or three
months until the little horn
bills hatch and are ready to
take flying lessons.

brood is about ready to fend
for itself.
The birds were presented at
a brief ceremony by Baron
Leopold Dhanis. counsellor for
Belgian Congo affairs at the
embassy of Belgium here. The
Baron is an old friend Of the
Zoo: he presented the park
with a pair of okapis about a
year ago.
He explained that, although
he has spent more than 10
years in Africa. this was the
first time he had ever seen any
OF the rare. foreSt-dwelling
Black casqued Hornbills.

The Zoo has the finest coll
lection Of hornbills in the
United States. Others on the
hornbill roster include the
Malabar, the Black and White
Casqued. the Philippine. the
Concave Casqued, the Malayan
and the Abyssinian hornbills.
Like all Of their species, the
new hornbills have great bony
looking protuberaneeS on their
long. sharp beaks. These look
to be as strong as a pair OF
hedge shippers but they are
filled with a honeycomb OF
air chambers and are really
feather-light.

Town Of Fairfax
Gets Go-Ahead
On Wafer Plan
Appeals Court OKs
Proposal to Build
Goose Creek Dom

The town Of Fairfax was
given the go-ahead today on its
plans for building q S4.5 mill
lion water system supplied BY q
reservoir on Goose Greek In
Loudoun County.
The Virginia State Supreme
Court Of Appeals upheld q Lou
doun County Circuit Court de-
cision which authorized the
town TO build Q storage dam on
Goose Greek.
The Loudoun County Board
Iof Supervisors protested the
towns plan TO take water from
that county into another juris-
diction. The Circuit Court de-
cision which was upheld today
Iruied that the town has q right
to use Goose Creek as It's water
supply.
Town Manager Glenn Saun-
lders said engineers will be in
structed to proceed immedi-
lately with drawing detailed
plans for the reservoir and
Transmission lines. Only pre-:
Iliminary plans have been
drawn so far because Of the
suit filed by Loudoun County.
Surveying 10 Begin
Mr.. Saunders said most Of
the land for the reservoir al
ready has been acquired by the
town. He said local engineers
will begin surveying for trans
mission lines Immediately.
Transmission lines would be
run overland through Fairfax
County territory for about 20
miles. The town also plans TO

County.
Town officials also expect 70

The Chantilly airport Is
about two miles from the ten
tative location for the trans
mission line. Mr.. Saunders said
the line could be moved easily
TO run by the airport. He said
no rights Of way have been
acquired yet for the 24-inch
transmission line.
Bond Issue Voted
The project will be financed
by a $4.5 million bond issue
authorized last year by town
voters. Town officials are ex-
lpecting consumers outside the
town to help pay Of the bond
issue.
Some Fairfax County ON
cials have opposed the towns
plan. william Moss. member
of the Fairfax County Board
of Supervisors and chairman
of the Northern Virginia Plan

lment Commission. has said that
Goose Greek win not be ade-
Quate as q long-range supply.
County officials want TO es-
tablish an integrated county
water system under its recently
created Fairfax County Water
Authority.
The $4.5 million will provide
funds for constructing a dam
capable Of supplying IS mil
lion gallons Of water a day. Mr.,
Saunders said the dam can be
raised later to provide a H.

is a scientist by day as well as
an astronomer by night. He is
in charge of Instrumentation
at the Diamond Ordnance
Fuse Laboratories at Blossom
Point, Md, about so miles

mentation," means the set

ment for research projects.
Mr.. Johnson showed some
slides Of his telescope and
camera and very intimate
pictures Of the moon he had
made with the combination.
He has recently given up his
1O-inch telescope and built
a i6-inch one. A 16-inch tele-
scope is really a very large
piece Of equipment. The
giant one at the Naval OBJ
servatory is a 26-inch.
In building his telescope.
he has used an old type of
reflector known as Gregorian,

oped a new type Of telescope
which is called Johnsonian.

Of Sputnik. When he exam
ined his plates he found that
two cameras had recorded a
tiny smudge with a tail
moving against the earth's
rotation OF the stars-just
like a comet on an orbit all
its own. After studying them
a couple Of days, he notified
Harvard Observatory. Then
like a good scientist, he went
about disproving his dis
coyery. His conclusion was
that the smudge had been
caused by light from a star

The
Rambler
Finds q Comero
Is Stcr-crossed
By GEORGE KENNEDY

A rnmor recently came to
the Rambler's attention that
some local watcher OF the
skies had seen a new comet
swim into his ken.
This caused him to accept
with eager anticipation when
invited to attend a discussion
meeting of the National Cap
ital Astronomers Saturday
evening in the Commerce
Department.
Comets don't show up every
day. The Rambler remembers
as a little boy seeing that
wonderful sight in the spring
of 1910 when Halley's Comet
scared across the starry skies.
His father said: at takes
rs years for 1t to complete
its orbit. None Of us win be
here when 1t returns.
Il WILL" said the little boy
with confidence. He was born
near the end Of 1899. But
sometimes OF late II seems
that the return of the comet
is hardly worth waiting for.
THE DISCUSSION SEES
SION Of the National Capital
Astronomers was to be de-
voted to celestial photogra-
ply. About 80 men and two
women were gathered In q
large room paneled with wall
nut when the Rambler
arrived.
Several were already seated
around a large table and
passing around beautiful
shots Of Saturn with its rings,
Jupiter. belted with clouds.
and closeups of the eraters
of the moon.
One young man. windsor
Booth. jr., had an excellent
shot of the constellation
Orion taken with an ordin-
airy box camera and Robert
H. McCracken. president Of
the club. said he had not
done much better on Orion
with far more expensive
equipment.
One member asked II he
could tell about a picture that
he had not brought with him.
1t turned out that he had not
/. seen it-iust heard about 1t.
The member said that q
friend who had spent some
time at the American base
at the South Pole made the
picture. He merely left a
homemade camera with a
pin-hole aperture out for "a
hours in the Antarctic dark
mess. 1t showed the stars
circling around the celestial
South Pole tdue to the rota-
,.tion Of the earth. All agreed
THAT 1t must be a very In
lteresting picture.
How big Is a pin-hole
lens asked John Leonard. q
title lawyer. That question
went unanswered.
