7 Page Ten. THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Dean Morse To Be On U-0 Radio Panel Wayne I Morse, dean of the law school and arbitrator of Pa cific coast maritime labor dis putes, will be one of the leading authorities on the four-man panel Which will be heard Monday night at 8 o'clock over station KGW In the new weekly University of Oregon Forum radio program. Topic for this second program in the series will be the rights and abuses of labor In this time of na tional emergency. Another speak er in the Informal discussion will be C C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter. It is expected that representatives of business, the AFL and the CIO will also be beard. Preparations for the program series have been under way for some months under the guidance of Palmer Hoyt, publisher of The Oregonlan, which owns and oper ates KGW; George H. God frey, head of the University news bureau; and Dr. Donald M. Erb, president of the University. Dr. Erb appointed as chairman W. A. Dahlberg, assistant profes sor of speech, while three other U. O. faculty members teaching In the Portland session were named to help get the program started this summer. They are: L. S. Bee, assistant professor of sociology; Miss Leona E. Tyler, Instructor in psychology; and Charles M. Hulten, associate pro fessor of journalism. Since performers on the pro gram will feature, usually, mem bers of the board along with other authorities on the topics, Dr. Erb appointed to the board three non faculty members, David Robin-' son, Portland attorney; Donald E. Long of the court of domestic re lations In Portland; and Dorothy McCullough Lee, state senator from Multnomah. This gives the organization a well-rounded per sonnel which will include at least one member able to talk fluently on almost any subject up for dis cussion, it is pointed out.

HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, General Extension, University of Oregon There are many inquiries this summer regarding the absence of planets from the sky. True, Venus has recently reappeared in the early twilight somewhat north of west, but where are the others whose names are so familiar? They are in the heavens, but in that part which most of us have little inclination to see. One must forego a few minutes of repose when "rosy fingered Dawn" is painting the eastern sky 3:15 is early enough in order to view the long, almost straight golden track marked out by three of the bright planets. This coming week a fourth, Mercury, will join the line. Let us start with the highest planet of this very conspicuous line. High in the sky somewhat east of south there is the ruddy Mars. This planet is now very bright, but by early October, when it will be rising at sunset, it will be 4.4 times more brilliant. It will be much in the news then as it will be closer to us than for over a dozen years in the future. Mars now rises almost due east around 11 p. m. Now extend the imaginary line from Mars down and to the left to a point almost due east. Here we find yellow Saturn, the ringed planet. It is bright, yet consider ably less so than Mars. Only a few degrees north of Saturn the Pleiades (resembling a tiny dip per) twinkle dimly. Continuing the line to the left and down we see the most bril liant of all the morning planets, Jupiter. Late next fall both Jupi ter and Saturn will adorn the eve ning sky in the evening and will be much brighter than now.

You will find the bright orange star, Aldebaran, near Jupiter, but its twinkling, contrasting strikingly with the steady light of Jupiter, shows decisively it is not a planet. If you have no hills or other ob structions along your eastern hor izon, you will be able to see the elusive little Mercury almost any morning during the coming week at the lower end of the long plan etary line. It will rise about one and one-half hours before the sun, considerably north of east, on July 24. Mercury will then ap pear somewhat dimmer than Sat urn, but it will brighten each suc ceeding morning for several days. When near the horizon, it some times twinkles, a behavior not often indulged in by planets. Uranus is also in the line (be tween Saturn and Jupiter) but is not visible without optical aid. Pioneer House Minus Modern-Day Aids If you were a pioneer, building a new home in the wilderness, you undoubtedly would have to go without many of the things you take for granted in your home today. The pioneer home, for example, had no concrete footing or founda tion, no plastering with cement, no lathing, no electricity. It .had no modern plumbing facilities, no running hot and cold water, no color combinations, no heating with a big stove or furnace, no air con ditioning. It had no gutters, no Insulating boards, no refrigerators, no mod ern tools, no basements. But then, it didn't have a build ing to which it had to adhere either. Fence Fi Touch For Home Philadelphia Rushes Huge 'Wet Dock' PHILADELPHIA. (U.R) Spurred by the intense defense preparations, the Philadelphi navy yard is breaking all records in constructing a mammoth "wet dock" for building super-dread- naughts. Dumping tons of concrete daily into a floor 40 feet below water level, naval officials expect to complete the 1,100-foot dock by October. m II a B0BNJS nn w mm A fence is the finishing touch to cottage or mansion, and home has not quite reached the ultimate in privacy and satisfaction until its surroundings have been rendered both private and attractive by a wood It'nce ... of which there is a kind and style for every home. A fence is by no means an ex clusive prerogative of wealthy families. Fence material is inex pensive and the skill required to build one is not beyond the capa bility of the average householder. It is quite probable that the most attractive enclosures in your neighborhood were built by "home grown" labor during half holidays and long summer evenings. Attractive wood fences can be built within a wide cost range. Cost is dependent more upon the amount of "special" material used than upon the size or style of the fence. Fence architecture is somewhat like house architecture. It may be formal, informal, rustic, elaborate, costly, or very expensive, liven as the type of garden is usually de signed for harmony with the style and size of the home which it surrounds, so the fence matches in feeling both the architecture and the garden arrangement. The most common of all fence .styles is the simple picket type, which found its first roots in New England Colonial architecture. If it can be said that there is such a thing as an American fence "standard," its is probably the simple picket type. Usually built about four feet high, the picket fence is decorative and adequate to exclude unwanted animal vis itors and keep children within safe bounds. Picket style fences require posts, stringers, and pickets, all three of which are available in most retail building material establishments as "stock" items. Ready-cut pickets are purchas able in standard lengths and widths, in four or five different patterns. They come packaged, ready for use, and are much less expensive than non-standard, odd sized pickets which must be made to order. Both round and square posts are supplied in various lengths, and are usually better suited to fence building and cost less than special ly cut material. Rails for the av erage picket fence can be made of a good grade 2"x4", another stock item. There are certain standard di mensions for height of pickets and spacing which have become ac cepted, because they produce a fence of . pleasing proportions. However they are easily varied to suit individual taste. One dimen son, the placing of posts, is fairly well established from a good con struction standpoint: It is unwise to space posts further than eight feet apart unless stringers are heavier than 2"x4". Ordinarily, space between pick ets is the same as the width of the picket, but some fences are built with the pickets as close as an inch. When the fence is intended to block vision or keep out ani mals, this spacing is advisable. The predominant pattern of a picket fence is vertical lines. Over a great expanse, vertical lines are sometimes tiresome and confusing to the eye. Hence, for a straight run much over 100 feet, it is well to consider a style other than pickets a stretcher fence, for in stance. After the picket type, the simple, two-rail, stretcher fence is probably most . popular. Stock 4"x4" posts, five feet long, are ordinarily used. Rails may be fit ted between the posts with large finishing nails toenailed. This works out well for the pocketbook, too. Since there is much less ma terial in a stretcher fence, its cost per lineal foot is considerably less, As the stretcher type is used over long reaches, this saving makes up for some of the extra posts and labor needed to enclose a larger plot. If you build a white house, you usually build a white fence. By the same rule-of-thumb, a fence enclosing a natural wood finish or weathered wood exterior should also be stained or given a natural treatment. Natural wood stained fences blend well with any land scape, because green and brown are the predominant colors in na ture. Economy also recommends natural finish. Reasonably fre quent scrubbing or repainting is necessary to keep a white fence white. Not so a weather-stained one. Many houses require a masonry retaining wall to prevent erosion of terraces and it can be very at tractive, provided too much blank wall does not meet the eye. One method of eliminating this possi bility is a low, masonry wall, sur mounted by a snori, picKei ience. The contrast between white wood and masonry is pleasing. The construction of a fence on cinnin pr-nund is sometimes miz zling to the amateur builder. One interesting solution is to drop each section of fence a little below the previous one, steplike. Floyd Ray, Orchestra Coming to Park Floyd Ray, known as the colored Fred Waring of the musical world, who brings his popular and enter taining dance orchestra to Wil lamette Park next Friday and Saturday to swell the festivities of Pageant week, is considered to be one of the busiest and most talented, as well as youngest orchestra leaders of his race in the nation. The Ray organization is now entering its sixth year as it begins its four annual transcontinental tour from Hollywood. It is the same band which creat ed a furore in Eugene at the time of the last pageant. Reservations will be made from now on by telephoning 1929 Eugene. Food Stamp Revolving Fund Established A revolving fund for the ad ministration of the food stamp plan in this county has been created through an order made by the county court, in accordance with an act passed at the last ses sion of the state legislature. The order of the county court provides that the state public welfare commission be authorized to use the county funds hereto fore advanced for participation in the food stamp plan on basis of 50 per cent of state funds and 50 per cent of county funds in es tablishing the revolving fund.
