Showers Of Meteors

C1NCE this is the season for skv-
watchers to observe the strange be-
havlor OF meteors and comets in the
sky, few words about them are in
order.
Most meteors and comets. whatever
the reader happens to call them. are
very near the earth and not far away
- as many seem to think. They are
metallic substances which have sepa-
rated from large mass and are plum
melting through the air, pulled to the
earth by gravity.
They fall into the layer of gases sur
rounding the earth during day and
night but are observed only at night
when the red hot metal is visible as fire.
Interestingly, they are quite cold as
they enter the layer of gases surround
ing the earth. What heats them up is
the same friction which is being
studied and solved by our space authori-
ties
Most meteors burn out before thew
strike the earth, melted into nothing
by the heat of friction created by the
terrific speed at which they pass into
the atmosphere. However, some do not
completely burn up before they hit the
earth and, on several occasions, very
large meteors have fallen to the earth.
If one reaches them Immediately after
they strike the ground, he will find
them very hot
The chances of meteor striking in
your neighborhood are billion to one,
but it could happen.

Hay Fever

THOSE who have their annual trou-
BILE with the sniffles and sneezes in
the late summer and early fall can get
ready for bumper hay fever season
The annual peak of the ragweed sea-
son is approaching
The height of the season comes at
slightly varying times in different parts
of the country. In the more northern
sections, the peak Of the pollen season
comes between August Is and Sept
ember Is. In more southern areas the
peak is experienced slightly later in the
year.
AS general rule, most people can
tolerate a pollen count of less than
twenty-five grains of pollen in each
cubic yard of air. However, some are
bothered by a count of ten or fifteen,
five or less.
Hay fever is not a disturbance to be
taken lightly, and it is estimated that
several people out of each hundred in
the United States suffer from it's eff
fects each year. That would mean that
millions of Americans are affected by
it.
Perhaps the best remedy for most
people today consists of injections of
an extract from the ragweed plant.
Alergy tests, and such injections, can
help a large percentage of sufferers.
This method is coming into increasing
use, and should be considered by all
who suffer from hay fever.

This is hardly a dependable deter
rent, nor is it any form of security for
the country. The country's security
lies in the Strategic Air Command, as
1T has for years, and with the. Navy's

In view of the past, it would seem de-

PRESIDENT Kennedy's decision to
postpone deactivation of the U. s.

squadrons shows again that those who
shouted loudly about the missile ages
arrival. and the obsolescence of con-
ventlonal airpower, were premature.
The best prospective jet-age bomb
er, the BIO, has already been aban-
doned, by military planners, and its
production delayed - if indeed it is
now to be reinstated as weapons pro-
gram.
Meanwhile, the missiles have not lived
up to expectations. We have only
limited number Of ICBM's. They require
almost full day, or more, to launch.

Apropos of the Kennedys, con-
slider for a moment the recorded
desire of the President that
there be truly competitive bids
in connection with government
procurement and sale of prop
erty and services"
That is a laudable expression,
but we find that the government
itself has abandoned the policy
in favor of one which injects ra-
cial sociology into what should
be dispassionate economics. The
government seems more con-
cerned with manipulating the
morality Of employment than in
protecting the taxpayers.
The low bid feature, which
should characterize all public
purchasing, is being shove d
aside. Instead. there is the re-
quirement that contractors use
federal standards of racial in
tegrati0n rather than their own
good judgment in hiring workers.

manufacturer offer quality

stone of all business dealings
the sanctity of contracts. The
American people have con

the form Of the Constitution of
the United States. Within that
contract. the taxpayers inter

by a section which states:
NO money shall be drawn

Letters To Editor
Suggests Walking
Club For Relaxation

Editor of Herald,
Walking is probably the oldest,
most beneficial, and least ex-
pensive of the various kinds of
recreational exercises recon-
mended by physicians. It can
be enjoyed by more people than
all the o h e r exercises COM
bined.
On various occasions I have
gone out for walk on the hard,
smooth streets. and l have walk
ed into the ountry on the
back" Hampden Sydney road
and I find it quite relaxing and
enjoyable. But l have often
thought that it might be much
more enjoyable if l could get
away from the hard, monoto-
nously smooth pavement and
from the continual look out"
for motor vehicles on country
roads.
Therefore. for consideration
by all people interested, pro-
pose forming a private non-pro-
fit. inexpensive walking club
whose trails, old unused roads,
or paths are in the country away
from motor traffic. The land
owners will probably let us walk
along certain selected paths or
trails free of charge as long as
no damage is done to the own
er'S property We may have to
erect a style here and there for
climbing over fences. A regu-
latory body of several respon-
sible people could select the per-
sonnet and make few rules to
regulate their conduct while US
ing the trail. It stands to reason
that no one should be permitted
to use the trail who will damage
the overs property.
The walking trail would be
the one place where a person
could get excellent recreation al
most any day whether there was
rain, snow or sunshine. When
the weather is unsuitable for
fishing, for golf, for baseball,
for swimming or when you are
tired Of looking at television,
then the trail will still be open
and ready for walking. Almost
always when you feel restless,
cramped up or in nervous
strain. walking will send the
blood racing to all parts of your
body to make you feel better.
On Sunday afternoon and at
some other times Of recreation
it may be found more advan-
tageous to walk in the country
than riding around in a car or
sleeping. etc. A walking trail
could be used by the Boy and
Girl Scouts. Sunday school out
ing parties. etc.
On the trail, alone or with
others. you can walk when you
want to, stop when you want
to, 60 as far and as long as you
like, be care free and relax.

CURLING Crime

FEAR and disgrace so deeply ingrain-
ed in the people of past generations
appear to be wanting today. Fear Of
punishment in the courts deferred many
from committing crimes, serious or
trivial. In times past it was disgrace
to be convicted of a crime, to go to
prison, or even be arrested. Possibly the
loss Of fear and the lack of a sense of
disgrace may be the causes of the in
crease in crime.
j. Edgar Hoover, FBI director, re-
Gently issued a statement decrying
leniency in some courts and by some
judges in the melting Of punishment.
Likewise, the leniency of the parole
system, reducing to minimum the
sentence given by the courts Both are
disheartening to the law enforcement
officers who often risk their lives in APP
pretending criminals.
Says Mr.. Hoover:
Nothing discourages and disheartens law
enforcement officers more than the knowledge
that their efforts in experimenting criminals
are too often no more than useless expendi-
lures Of time and money; useless because un-
warranted leniency in the form of suspended
sentences parole, or probation SO frequently
makes mockery of good police work
Reduction of crime can be had when
public opinion and public cooperation
decree it. Too often the public in
censed at the time Of crime, demand
ing the impossible of the police in ar
resting the culprit, will turn to SYM
pathy with him at the time of the trial.

Government Irresp0nsibility
". D. workmon

Let's play turn about for the
moment, and pretend that the
Federal government is looking
inwardly upon its own practices
instead of outwardly at those OF
the business community.
As a starter, suppose we con-
slider price rigging" This prac-
tice is not to be tolerated. we
are told. when business and in
dustry bid for government con-
tracts. But the government itself
is the greatest price rigger
Of all through support prices on
the agricultural scene and mini
mum wages for industry.
When government tells an en-
ployer how much he is to pay
his employees. a body blow is
dealt to that section of the Fed
eral code which calls for full
and free competition" in the
economy.
And what about statute S
against monopolistic trusts? We
most assuredly have an inter
locking directorate in the top
management of national affairs
through the operations Of the
Kennedy cartel.
We look askance at the hold
ings Of industrial empires built
by the duPonts, by American
Telephone and Telegraph, by
General Motors and other giant
firms. Perhaps we also should

forget the person against whom Grim
was committed. The public is too soft
Mr.. Hoover stated further:
The realm of vice, which is the breeding
ground for crimes Of greater violence, is
winked at in far too many instances. A recent
preliminary survey on courts in large city
revealed. for example, that of almost 10000
individuals arrested for lottery. numbers rack
cts. gambling. bookmaking. prostitution and
operating disorderly house, 70 per cent we're
discharged by magistrates! Out Of well over
800 gamblers who pleaded guilty. only II per
cent ever went to Jail Fifty-eight per cent
were ordered to pay fines or costs-which
have been correctly described as nothing more
than license fees for gamblers. Two hundred
and fifty others were given suspended SEN
fences or placed on probation.
When vice. the very fountainhead of crime
is treated lightly. it is not difficult to under
stand why criminals do not fear the wrath
of some of this Nations courts Inveterate
criminals who prey on honest men and still
escape punishment are encouraged in their
disdain for law and go on to commit depreda-
tons of even more heinous proportions.
America is not vengeful land. it is not
cruel land; but certainly something must be
done to make it an internally peaceful land
Crime in 1860 rose II per cent over the previ-
Gus year. and in the first quarter of 1861 our
country appears headed for a new all-time
high annual record. The first part of this year
shows an increase of 10 per cent in crime in
American cities. with per cent jump in
murders. a per cent rise in forcible rapes.
and 8 per cent increase in aggravated as
saults.
Public opinion can do much to curl
the present trend of lawlessness. Tn
time is at hand.
