yours nominees should accept
then the free electors would cast
their votes to provide a ma
jority for the one haYing already
a plurality.
If neither Of the eager young
men should accept. then I think
the South should make the ges-
ture generous. magnificent and
memorable through elections to
come. It's free electors should
sing the Star Spangled Banner
and in all dignity and patriotism
cast their votes independently Of
the race question and on basis
of their convictions on other
issues.
America must 60 on, and
Southern place in it.
There would be advertised in
delibly then our Southern depth
CT feeling, dignity in expressing
it, patriotism restraint and
readiness to rely on the Con-
stitution.
ONCE HAVING DONE a thing
like this. could the South be
stopped thereafter with a con
stitutional amendment? Not,
am Convinced, if it were manag-
ed in an atmosphere of patriot
ism in a constitutional crisis
rather than segregationist coup.
There would be no two-thirds
and three-fourths forthcoming. ;.
The program could be ruined,
however, by unwillingneSs Of
some of the free electors lever,
eyer to vote for a Republican"
AS to that we could only hope
and pray that sentimentality and
professional personal politics are
not strong enough in a South so
fragically circumstanced.

Astronomer Finds
Worlds Strongest
Magnetic Field

PASADENA. Calf, Dec. a
AP).-An astronomer reported
today that he has discovered
the strongest magnetic field
ever found in nature-one that
is $4,000 times stronger than
that Of earth.
The ind was made by DR..
Horace W. Babcock, assistant
director Of the Mount Paloniar
Observatory. with the 200-inch
Hale telescope ct the observ-
atory.
The magnetic field surrounds
Q star which is a neighbor Of
our solar system In the milky
way galaxy. It has no name
but Is known to astronomers
as HID 215,44l.
DR.. Babcock noticed that in
the astronomers catalog Of
stars this star was described
as having q peculiar spectrum
the breakdown Of the stars
light into wave lengths Of diff
ferent color. He took o look
at it with the Hale, the worlds
biggest telescope.
DR.. Babcock Is o specialist in
determining the magnetic field
from o stars spectrum. The
spectrum Of HID SAL showed
it had q magnetic field strength
Of 1000 gauss. GA gauss Is q
unit Of magnetic induction }
The strongest field found
heretofore for any star was
about half that amount. The
earth's magnetic field is less
than one gauss and the suns is
only q little stronger.

ARE FINDERS KEEPERS?

We have been hoping to hear
the good news that the purse that
was lost last week has been re-
turned to the owner But as yet
the finder has failed to do so. That
puts him or her in the odious cate
CORY of being a thief because the
owners name was inscribed on
the bill fold and there was plenty
of identification on the inside to
leave no doubt in the finders mind
to whom the object belonged.
The loss of the money in itself,
is great, but the fact that the hus-
band has been an invalid for sever
al years and unable to work has
greatly magnified the hardship
which this loss has imposed on
those concerned.
We would ask anyone who knows
the person who found the purse
to appeal to his better nature and
see that the money and other con-
tents $50 difficult to replace are
returned to the righful owner.

The fury of the storm seemed

The rest of the county was ex-

of them had below zero readings.

taken the precaution of insisting
on seeing the credentials of the
one interviewed, they would have
known that we we're in for at least
six weeks of terrible weather
Had the good people of Garrett
County been properly informed
coal bins would have been full,
groceries stocked and the County
Commissioners would have bought
six or eight new snow blowers, in
stead of just one.
Having been the direct cause of
so much anguish and suffering, |
feel that it is only fair that The
Republican reimburse all those
who claim to have been caught un-
prepared due to the fraudulent re-
porting in the February 4th issue
of The Republican. However, l
think we should leave it up to
Judge Fraley to decide what legal
action, if any, should be taken.

your lesson this winter and here
after will make every effort to
avoid dealing with imposters. 1t

viewed was one MIR KD Not

resulted in predictions more ac-

fact that this grounding admits
his carelessness in forgetting to
set his clock proves his unreli-
ability A careful re-reading of the
original interview will reveal that
Mr.. Grounding warned Leap Year
