VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Radiation Suggests Earthly Halo
By THOMAS r. HENRY

the light comes from hy-
drogen clouds that are we'll
beyond the earth's Orbit
around the sun.
Milky Way Mystery
The concept of an earth
crown, although not univer-
sally accepted, has gained
many advocates, Dr.. Fried
man reported. 1t is, at least,
an acceptable, if at present
not entirely provable, hy-
pothesis. 1t was one of the
earliest findings of the new
rocket astronomy which per-
mitS recording of the COM
plete radiation output of
celestial objects. Parts of
this are absorbed at various
levels of the atmosphere.
Ozone is not the only OBJ
stacle. Ordinary molecular
oxygen. which probably does
not exist above the strato-
sphere, is a strong absorber
of short waves that get
through the ozone.
Many of the observations
from other parts of the Milky
Way galaxy remain quite puz-
zling, DR.. Friedman re-
ported. Such. for example, is
the situation with the promi-
nent constellation of Orion
a complicated region filled
with hot, blue stars, dust and
gas clouds. 1t is an intense
source of visible light. But,
Dr.. Friedman reported, re-
cordingS show that its ultra
violet emission is very much
greater than all the visible
nebulosity, indicating condi-
tions for which there is no
present adequate explanation.
Such also is the case with
the very bright star Spica,
whose temperature is esti-
mated at about 10000 C. It
sends out an ultraviolet radi-
alton equal to all its other
radiation combined.
Essentially the new astron-
omy is revealing a new uni
verSe-the hitherto hidden
universe of the ultraviolet.
Some of the findings are
about as exciting as those
made with the earliest tele-
scopes which shattered the
classical concepts of an earth
centered creation.

The Soviet Colonies

We should take Mr.. Khru-
shchev up on his demand for
the abolition of colonialism.
Let's abolish all colonies, in
cluding those of the Soviet
Union.
And do not let Mr.. ks
definition of a colony pre-
vail. The puppet states should
be freed along with the few
Western remaining colonies.
They too are colonies.

High School senior, has returned to
Delaware after enjoying week of
activity in Mobile, Alabama, where
she represented Delaware in the
Americas Junior Miss Pageant.
This year was the first in which
Delaware has had representation

annually by the Jay Gees.
While at Mobile, Miss Cooper, as

honored guest at many functions
including luncheons, tours and a
visit to the world famed Bellin-
grath Gardens. She also had the op-
pOrtunity to see the historical
sights of Mobile and to see the sur
rounding area at its radiant best
during the "Azalea Trail season.
The Seaford Junior Chamber of
Commerce made possible Miss
Cooper's trip to Mobile, where she
also was the recipient of flowers,
gift certificates, gowns and access
sories.
The Americas Junior Miss Pag-
cant, Inc. has as it's purpose recog-
milton of high school senior girls

phase of the Junior Miss Pageant
and is accomplished in such man
ner as to bring the judges and con-
testants together in a relaxed,
pleasant atmosphere during meals,
informal chats and at social events.
Judging includes an interview at
which interests, ambitions, ETC., are
discussed. This is augmented by a
careful study on the part of the
judges of the accomplishments Of
each girl and indications of leader
ship, good citizenship and high
character.
During the formal presentation
of the Junior Misses to judges and
audience, each young lady has the
opportunity to model in evening
dress and sports clothes and to
demonstrate her chosen talent.
The trip to Mobile will long be a
topic of conversation with Bonnie's
school friends and parents, Mr. and
Mrs. j. Lawrence Cooper of North
Shores, Seaford, and will, in her
words, "be an experience that will
be long remembered
