want TO explore space?
Earth isn't so filled with

Pope Plus XII in a speech
In 1855 to the 18th Interna-
tionalaC Congress of Astronau-
tics gave his blessing to mans
efforts to conquer the uni
verse peacefully. It's this
word peaceful Mike, from
which we take our cue not a
race with Russia, curiosity or
adventure.
God who gave us our thirst
for knowledge did not intend
that we limit our efforts when
he said, Fill the earth and
subdue it Gen. 1929 Man,
created by God, is master of
the universe. While our nat
ural habitat is earth, we de
pend upon the sun to pro
vide light. heat and energy
necessary for life. In a lesser
way the earth and all the 9TH
err bodies Of the universe are
interdependent. For example,
gravitational attraction exists
between all bodies and keeps
each planet in its proper or
bit.
While we may never live
on another planet our con-
Germ over the food, fuel and
mineral resources may find
a solution in the quantities of
minerals on the other planets.
So our exploration Of space is
valuable in many ways.
Plus XII in his remarks
about our efforts to conquer
the universe said. " such
efforts reveal the impulse urq-
ing man to exceed himself.
to grow morally, and TO find
in his soul ever new resour-
ces of generosity and hero

Dear Doris:

What can do TO look

What type heel would
you suggest FOR tall girls

Chrissy
Why bother trying. to look
shorter? The more you try
the more conspicuous you be-
come. Posture is more import
ant anyway, so develop a
good posture and ii will car
ny off any height. g,ffa
The little french heel pop
ular today is a great boon for
tall girls. Don't make the mis-
take OF wearing flats. They're
a poor disguise and not at all
tlattering.
While bouffant and fussy
clothes are definitely out you
can wear lots of things short
girls can't wear: Horizontal
stripes and wide belts are at
tractive and tend TO cut
height. However, if you real.
ly arc a little heavy 90 easy
on those stripes. Concentrate
on Interesting fabrics and sub
dued colors. But most import
ant make simplicity the by
word of your wardrobe. Tall
or short you can always be
sure you're in good taste If
you stick to the simple lines.
Dear Doris:
