There are now about 15 million television sets, or one for every 10 persons in this country. But TV still has a long way to catch up with radio, as there are more than 100 million radio sets in use, an average of two sets to the family. PRUETT'S SKY REVIEW By J. HUGH PRCETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon HUher Edneatlon System A correspondent recently wrote that he had never seen even an attempted explanation as to why the north pole of the earth always1 points "exactly" at Polaris, the north star. He it surely in good company for Shakespeare made Julius Caesar saw, "But I am constant as the northern star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament." Our correspondent thinks he has discovered the explanation. But that is all spoiled by the brutal fact that the earth's pole does not point at Polaris and likely never did the great Shakespeare notwithstanding. The place among the stars at which the earth's pole points is known as the celestial pole. All the stars in the nothern sky seem to encircle this pole once a day. Even Polaris traces a little circle around it and is now Missionaries Popular, Though Indians Had to Forego Wives By JOHN KAMPS Associated Press Stall Writer WASHINGTON () Indians four wives and left them to decide of the Northwest liked the black robed missionaries who worked among them, even though the chiefs had to get rid of some of their wives, So says a history of the Coeur D'Alene Indian tribe, which was written by a chief and is being studied by the Indian Claims Commission. The manuscript is part of the evidence submitted last week in a hearing on the tribe's claim for just payment for four million acres of land taken by the govern ment in the 1880's. The land is in Idaho, Washington and Montana. The history written by Chief Joseph Seltise, who died in 1949 at the age of 63. Details were told to Joseph by aged members of the tribe, including his father, Chief Andrew Seltise, who was 92 when he died in 1902. The Rev. Pierre Desmet, the famed missionary, arrived in the Coeud D'Alene country in 1842, Joseph's hand-written history re lates. His arrival date, the first Friday in December, remains a day of celebration for the tribe to this day. "Father Desmet s teachings said that all Christians were allowed just one wife." "Twisted Earth, chief of the tribe, did not hesitate a minute, but promptly conferred with his among themselves which one should remain, and which three should go. In a short time the four wives determined which one must re main the wife and which three must go. Twisted Earth thanked them and told them they made a wise choice, bid the three a sor rowful farewell, then told the three who were to go to 'remain faithful to the one man you are to marry as you have remained faithful already a large part of your lives, Twisted Earth then was 82, but "hale and hearty." The historian, and those he quot ed, said many good words about the clergy, but many bad ones about other white men. White adventurers "sought ea gerly for Indians who had never traded with whites and would part with their furs for worthless trin kets," Joseph says. "Thus went 15 million dollars in rich furs owned by the Indians for some whiskey and worthless trinkets." Writing of the death in 1847 of a young physician, Dr. Whiteman, who was suspected of poisoning Indians, Joseph quotes a tribes man: "Tamsuky knocked White man on the head with a tomahawk. ... If all reports are true . . then he got only what was coming to him." Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., i Mon., Jan. 21, 1952 Page 5 Grove Speeds March of Dimes COTTAGE GROVE Some 3500 March of Dimes cards will be mailed this week to residents of the community urging partlcipa. tion in the 1952 drive. Maynard Wilson, Cottage Grove chairman, said Saturday the cam paign is ready to shift into high gear. Friday evening members of the Cottage Grove Jaycdtte organiza tion prepared the 3500 solicitation cards for mailing. This is the fourth consecutive year the Jay cettes have addressed and pre pared the cards. An addressograph owned by Cleo Morelock was borrowed to speed up the work. Wilson said members of the Cot tage Grove Junior Chamber of Commerce are - now distributing March of Dimes containers in the city and surrounding areas. There has not been a Cottage Grove quota set for the annual drive, but Wilson hopes the com munity can exceed last year's con tribution of $2600. This is the fourth consecutive year Wilson has headed the Cot tage Grove March of Dimes campaign. SKEIE'S watch repairing is ful ly guaranteed. ADVERTISEMENT about one degree two widths of a full moon from it. (Tho exact amount today is 57 min. 13 sec, a little less, than one de gree.) The separation of the celestial pole from Polaris is now con tinually decreasing and will be at a minimum around A.D. 2100, when it will be a little less than half a degree away. At the time of Shakespeare it was nearly four degrees away. Someone has suggested that if the famous poet had taken the trouble to check on the figures, he would have found he had Caesar in error by around 15 degrees. After 2100 the separation will increase. By 14,000, the pole will be only five degrees from Vega, more than 45 degrees from Polaris, wnich cannot then by any stretch of the imagina tion be considered the north star. But for many generations yet, Polaris will be a very de pendable although not exact pole star. All this changing is due to the 25,800-year cycle of the precession of the equinoxes, a phenomenon too complicated to be explained here. Since Polaris traces a circle around the celestial pole, it is due north twice daily: when di rectly above and below the pole. For rough reckoning, how ever, this star defines north quite closely. An easy way of showing the location of the pole is to set a wide-open camera in a dark place, direct it approximately toward the north star, and let it stand for an hour or more. Curved trails of many stars in this region will be photo graphed. All will seem to be drawn around the pole as a center. There are numerous fainter stars nearer the celestial pole than is Polaris. In 1925, a tiny star, practically at the pole, was dubbed "Polarissima." Two beautiful photographs of the star trails around this are shown in Popular Astronomy of Janu ary 1937. Polaris is at the end of the handle of the group of stars known as the Little Dipper. Pension Plan Irks Japanese Families Protest Meagre Allotments TOKYO (fl") Cries of angry disappointment drowned out Jap anese officials Sunday when they tried to explain the government's first, and admittedly meagre, war pension plan to the Japanese League of Bereaved Families. About 800 league members, rep resenting 8,000,000 immediate relatives of nearly 2,000,000 war dead, attended the meeting in Hosei university hall. Brandishes Spear One old man whose son died In World War II brandished a med ieval spear and threatened to use it on Premier Shigaru Yoshida, who was not present. Later, about 200 of the dele gates went 30 miles to Yoshida's country place at Oiso and sat down outside his gate for several hours, but Yoshida did not ap pear. The war pension issue has raised a storm in the government and in the dominant Liberal Party. 'Enough to Buy Candles' Under the program, a war wi dow would get the yen equivalent of $1.63 a month, while the top payment to a totally disabled vet eran would be the equivalent of $150 a year. When it was being discussed re cently, Finance Minister Hayato Ikeda remarked that it was "bare ly sufficient for bereaved families to buy candles for the altar."
