The Bend Bulletin, Wednesday, Pee. 21. 1955 Christmas Trees Blaze This Year At Silver Lake What Would Happen if Man-Made Satellite Should Meet-Meteorite? By H. D. QulRg I'hitcd PretiM Staff t'orrppomJnt NEW YORK (UP) If Ameri ca's man made basketball - size baby moon, going 18,000 miles an hour, should meet a meteorite tht. size ol a pea, moving in from out er space at 90,000 miles an hour, what would happen? Simple, said the expert. The meteorite would go right through the satellite. Aj.J Lf the baby moon were pressurized? Poof! There goes pressurlzatlon. -The expert was Dr. Homer E. Newell of the Naval Research Laboratory, which will hav-. a lot to do with making, and using, the first space fiontier vehicles which this country hopes to set orbiting the Earth some time before the end of 1939. At a press conference at the Hayden Planetarium, on the oc casion of the unveiling of a model of an artificial satellite built by Popular Science Monthly, Dr' Newell was asked: Z'ilow big a meteorite can the satellite anticipate meeting? "It probably would not collide with any large one," Dr Newell said. "There probably will be plenty of space dust microme- tcorites, they're called: they won't penetrate but they might erode Its skin." Dr. Newel said if a shooting pea from, space de-pressurized a satellite, its equipment would start to malfunction." However, if the satellite were not pressurized inside, it could be that the pellet would zip through without materi ally disturbing the moon's in nards. "What's tHe probability of its meeting a pea-size meteorite?" "It's very, very low," the scien tist answered. "Less than the probability of having an auto accident between here and New Haven?" "Much less," said Dr. Newell, He disclosed that at least one of the satellites -we send up will have a plastic shell "a very hard one, shock and heat resist ant." He said "It appears we can keep the temperature (inside the sphere) in a reasonable range from somewhat below freezing to lfiO degrees, Farenheit. Dr. Newell said the model at the planetarium, with a skin of transparent plastic and interior writhing with circuits, tubes, and electronic gismos, "is a reason able facsimile of what might be done" by the government experts in building one of the real satel UK'S.

Cases Reported By Judge Palin Special to The Bulletin SILVER LAKE At last sight that is common in practically every American community can be seen in Silver Lake. Christmas trees are blazing with electric lights, in a number of i homes, and lights flood an out door tree in the (J ruber yard here. where Mr. and Mrs. Everett Emery are living. Illumination of Christmas trees in this historic community, which long ao was the scene of Oregon's most tragic Christmas when 43 died in a blazing hall, has been made possible through the bring ing of Bonneville Power to the basin, through the Mldstate Elec tric Cooperative, Inc. The tragedy of Christmas eve In 1894 resulted from a fire caused by a kerosene light, which fell to: the floor of a hall in which a Yule oartv was being held. Several old timers of the basin have never used electric lights. Th"ir Illumination through the yeais has largely been provided bv candles and kerosene. With electricity finally here. SU ver Like is aglow on Christmas eve, 1955.
