League of Women Voters President Says Human Intelligence Need Know No Bounds Distinguished civic leader, Mrs. John G. Lee of Washington, D. C. reveals her personal creed. This is one of a series of statements prepnrerf. for broadcast h thinking, useful people in all walks of lite. The program is presented by Edward R. Murrow over KERG ot J2.15 find. 9:30 p.m., Mondnu lliroiiaft Friday. I think the most profound in-iour home fluence in my life was may father, explored; He was an Inventor and a scientist with a most Inquisitive mind. He loved and was greatly stimulated by the beauty and the design he found in nature. He believed in peo ple and was himself a completely honest person. His sense of humor was keen though kindly and his en ergy was inexhaustible. Once he was asked how he got. the idea for Ihe Maxim Silencer. He answered: "hy watching the way water be haved when it went down a drain." This simple statement opened up for me a whole realm of ideas which led to a firm belief that hu man intelligence need recognite no bounds; that through the use of our intelligence we will move progres sively closer to an understanding of man and of the universe around us; that this knowledge will bring Blachly Names Chest Leaders BLACHLY Organization in Ihe Blachly district for the Commun ity Chest Driye for Western Lane has been announced by Lee Mur phy of Junction City, division cnairman. The. district comprises all the area in school district Nn. 90, including Greenleaf, Nelson Creek, Triangle Lake, Blachly and Horton. Volunteer workers include Mrs Beulah Hust, Mrs. Orpha Willhite, Mrs. Beulah Parke, Mrs. Leona Mrs. Bernice Tipton, Mrs Although the equinox may give us no immediate and noticeable wea ther changes, yet it does mark the time after which such changes are apt to occur, since the sun has reached the sky position when Ihe nights thereafter become longer than the days as the sun is getting farther south. Since the earth's rotational axis is inclined 23V4 degrees from its upright position in the annual orbit, the. sun seems to us to make its daily trip across different parts of the sky at various seasons. On Dec. 22, old Sol rises far toward the southeast, is low in the. south at noon, and sets well toward the southwest. On .June 22, these three positions become "far toward the northeast," "very high in the south," and "far toward the northwest." Now let us consider that we can draw a white curve entirely across the blue of the summer sky to mark the apparent track of the sun during the longest June day; and another for the shortest winter day. These curves will be 47 degrees apart, or twice 23V4 degrees. Mid way between them we draw anoth er linp. This is the approximate celestial equator and is the sun's path on the dates of the equinoxes.

From this understanding I moved into the j helicf that people everywhere must learn how to work together for the common purpose of the betterment of mankind. I believe one of the greatest ideas of all times, one that is a compel ling moral force, is tbe concept of the dignity and worth of the human individual. From this idea there de velops a sense of devotion to the common good.

SAW DESIGN Then I remember sitting with him on the deck of his boat one night in early September. We were anchored in a secluded cove. The breeze was light and very salty.
