Page Two. 1941 Oregon Trail Pageant Promises New Theme, Thrills (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) the American Declaration of Inde pendence in 1778. Appropriate verses and other stage effects will be used to carry the continuity. Finale of this episode will be a dance utilizing almost the entire cast portraying the melting pot which is America. Land Explored Back again to Oregon the spec tators then will be taken to watch the Exploration of the Land por trayed. Five principal scenes will ap pear here the life of the Indians, in which the theme of the Thun derbird and the impressive rain ceremonial dances will be out standing; exploration from the west or the Ship Columbia scene in which the Gleemen will star; exploration from the east or the Lewis and Clark expedition; a large, colorful scene at Ft. Van couver with McLoughlin in the leading role and the dances, sports and life in the fort to be shown; and finally a thrilling cli max in which the advance scout of the pioneer wagon train is chased by Indians and escapes by jumping a "real" (Mrs. Smith promises) waterfall. There is little need to describe the next episode Entry into the Land to Eugeneans who have seen or participated in the previ ous pageants. This will be the pio neer scene, the true climax of the show, in almost the same form as in previous years. The wagon trains will- wind over the moun tains, stop along the trail, form a stockade against Indian attacks and the pioneers will then drama tize typical activities of a night on the trail cooking, eating, dis cipline, marriage, birth, death, washing clothes, singing and danc ing, and finally sleep. The finale is as yet a deep, dark secret, but It will contain in some way a tribute to this "deep desire" for freedom exemplified by the Pioneer. "You can tell them that there won't be an air plane," Mrs. Smith declared with a rueful grin. ! TO HEAR APPEALS ' PORTLAND, June 7.

HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, General Extension, University of Oregon As the twilight turns into night during these June evenings, one can hardly fail to be attracted by a fine star high in the east and a trffle to the north. This is Vega, one of the brightest of the stars and the only one of its brilliance in this part of the early summer sky. By the time the sky is dark, five dim stars become visible near Vega. With Vega they form the constellation Lyra. To trace the constellation, start with Vega. Then note the two tiny stars, the nearest Vega of any seen. These two and Vega form a Moose Hold Memorial Service Members of the Eugene Moose lodge observed their annual memo rial service Friday evening. F. E. White was In charge of the events. The meeting opened with a pro cessional by the Moose orchestra. R. W. Briatow led the group in prayer and they then joined In singing "America." Glendon Dot son, governor of the local lodge, welcomed the visitor and told of the aims of the order and prog ress which has been made this year. . Other numbers on the program Included a piano solo by Mrs. Dor othy Stoft, a memorial talk by Charles Poole with a ceremony by the members in which a white flower for each member who has died in the past year was placed on the altar; a flag seryice and taps by a group of Boy Scouts; ad dress by Rev. Norman K. Tully; reading by Cecil Smith; group singing of "God Bless America" and Kipling's Recessional sung by W. H. Cook.

Vega is of special interest be cause, due to the slow precession of the equinoxes, it will be our north star in about 12,000 years from now. It is one of the nearer stars. The recent tables of Yale parallaxes indicates that only 27 years are required for its light to ias(.Vi lie Our present north star is now about one degree from the true pole of the sky. It will continue to get closer until 2095 A. D. when it will be one-half degree away. Then it will gradually get farther away and will not again be a good pole star for 26,000 years.
