At about 5:20 p.m. the moon will
vise and will be at least partially
eclipsed until 5:40 p.m., when it
leaves the main shadow of the
earth. The eclipse will be “disap
pointing'' here in the West for this
reason but will be easily observed
on the East coast.
Eclipses, which are of interest
because of the facts to be deduced
from them about the moon's sur
face material, prove that the sur
face temperature varies greatly
according to length of time spent
in the earth's shadow. When it en
ters the shadow, the moon has an
average surface temperature of
200 degrees F., and one hour after
this time it falls to about -70 de
grees F.
Scientists infer from this that
the moon is covered by a light,
fluffy material which is penetrated
very little by sunlight and which
is affected greatly by its lack.

me considered carefully, and a
“working knowledge” of one for
eign language is required for ca
reer appointments.
.Material Fresher
“Recent college graduates prob
ably have the best chance of being
selected,” Macfarland added. “The
material they have covered in
school is usually fresher in their
minds, so they make higher scores
on their examinations.”
.Men and women receiving ap
pointments muy be sent anywhere
in the world, with a new assign
ment every two or three years.
During his first few years a new
officer is assigned to a variety of
jobs so that he becomes familiar
with every phase of foreign service
operation.
Paying Off
"They may have him issuing
visas, keeping records or making
I out trade reports," Macfarland
| said. “In seaports, a new man often
! spends a lot of his time paying off
American seamen who are leaving
their ships.” U S. law requires that
a foreign service officer supervise
payment of wages to sailors who
transfer from their ships in foreign
ports.
Among the benefits ot foreign
service employment Macfarland
mentioned travel opportunities, the
variety and interest of the work it
self and the government's retire
ment program.
• Nobody ever got rich on for
eign service wages," he added, “but
you live fairly comfortably and
travel first class.”
Travel Expenses
The government pays travel ex
penses of foreign service officer.-)
families and provides a quarters
alowance in addition to regular
wages. Officers get two months'
vacation every two years, includ
ing travel costs to the U.S. and
back.
During his recent tour of duty in
Geneva, Macfarland reported on
i he activities of United Nations
agencies located there. Hi» stories
went to New York for transmis
sion by the Voice of America.
A 1932 graduate of Princeton
university, Macfarland has writ

had articles in many national mag
azines.
