December Review of Skies Offered by Astronomer ' By J. H. PKL'ETT Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System The "full-starred skies which winter knows" again are here with us. Although their radiance is often veiled by dense clouds, yet on the occasion when this vaporous curtain is drawn aside, the heavens glitter with a glory unknown at other seasons. Let us point out the most conspicuous stellar objects in view this week at about 8 p.m. standard time. 9 p.m. daylignt time, une montn from now, due to the earth's re volution around the sun, the stars will be in these positions two hours earlier. Well up over the western point of the horizon, Altair, the bright est star of the Eagle, is twinkling between two others of lesser luminoiity. Slightly higher and toward the northwest, brilliant Vega glitters as the jewel of the celestial Harp. Much higher and In the same general direction, Deneb tops the Northern Cross, a large figure whose base in clines slightly toward the left. Rather low in the south south west, Formalhaut is held in the mouth of the Southern Fish. Dipper On Move Low above the northern noriz- on, the familiar Big Dipper is East Coast Calling Silverton Mrs. Rena Rich ards of Valley City, N D., who has been visiting recently at the Broadway street home of her brother and sister-ir law, Mr and Mrs. Ed Holdtn left the first of the week for a stop-over stay with her daughter in Kel so, Wash., enroute to Hunting ton, West Virginia, where she will attend the wedding of her son, Robert, with ihe CAA's. Later this month, Mrs. Rich ards will return to Kelso for the remainder of the school year War Cripple Builds a House Elryia, O., Dec. 6 (P) From his wheel chair, war veteran Robert E. Riley is putting the finishing touches on a four room bungalow he has been building for more than two years. Of course, the 28-year-old Ri- ' ley. whom a German sniper's bullet paralyzed from the waist ; down, has had some help; but I he is his own contractor and has done much of the work from the foundation up. He slapped on siding, paint and mortar as high as he could reach from his wheel chair, and his 11-year-old cousin, Donald Riley, went on from there. Three friends helped put on the shingles. Riley did all the plumbing. The little house will cost him about $2,450. he estimates. The bankers told him two years ago it would cost twice that. That was when he decided he'd do it himself, although he never laid a building tile before. In the fall of 1946. when the army hospitals turned Riley loose after 18 months, he said they suggested he "take up watch repairing or something like that," and he told them: "Naw, I'll make my own job." He chose automobile repair work. Matter of fact, if Riley were n't so busy fixing cars and had n't taken time out to build a p . 53'" Turban Actress Mae West wears a draped turban with a face-framing scarf at a night club in Hollywood. garage, the house would have been finished long ago.

DAs Seek New Gambling Law Portland, Dec. 6 ' Oregon district attorneys have endorsed a law proposal which would make it easier to clamp the lid on gambling. The district attorneys' associa tion explained that the law, ex pected to go before the next leg islature, would permit proceed ings against owners of property where gambling has been con ducted. The group said gambling is ithe only crime which is not in cluded under such a statute. Teunis J, Wyers, Hood River, was elected president at the clos ed meeting Saturday. George L. Anderson.

Pet Cat Actress Barbara Bates doesn't seem to be afraid that Toby, the black cat, will bring her u. iucK. moving eastward and upward Observe it an hour later and this apparent movement, due to the axial rotation of the earth, will be quite evident. Very high in the north almost overhead the inverted W of the five stars of Cassiopeia is easily outlined. The eastern half of the sky is aglow with celestial gems. High in the northeast, yellow Capella. a distant sun of the same gener al type as our sun, glows bril liantly. At about the samt alti tude but considerably farther to the right, the tiny cloud-like dip per of the Pleiades displayes its six sparkling little topazes seven to some eyes one sur passing the others in luster. At some distance below this group the V-Shaped Hyades are found. The V now lies on its side with the apex toward the right. All the stars are small with the ex; ception of orange Aldebaran at the open end of the lower branch. Twins Have Risen Low in ' the east northeast, two bright stars of Gemini, the Twins, have risen. The upper one, white In color, is Castor; the orange and lower brother, Pollux. Below the Hyades and near the horizon, the two large stars are red Betelgeuse to the left and white Rigel to the right. Be tween them are three stars, all of the same brightness, in a short upright line. These and the two larger stars belong to the con stellation Orion. About an hour later Procyon will rise almost due east, and Sirius, by far the finest in the sky, in the east southeast. The brilliant planet Jupiter now sets in the southwest about an hour after sunset, so is not easily observed. Gorgeous Ven us rises in the east southeast two hours before sunrise.
