Polishing Up
Palomar 'Eye'
' Pasadena, Calif., May 7
Palomar's "big eye'' already
the apple of astronomers' eyes
is going to be even better than
expected after final polishing
Thai's the opinion of Dr. Ed
win P. Hubble, chief stargazer
at the observatory atop Mount
Palomar. The lens of the 200
inch telescope will be polished
again this month for the last
time it is hoped to remove
about 20-millionths of an inch
thickness from an 18-inch spot
on the mirror's outer edge.
The Job will take six months.
Dr. Ira S. Bowen, director of
Palomar and Mt. Wilson observ
atories, announced yesterday.
With a 10 per cent improve
ment expected from the final
grind, Dr. Hubble predicts that
it may be possible to photograph
stars 100 million light years
further away than the big telescope-camera
actually was de
signed to reach. It was design
ed to see one billion light years
into space twice the range of
the 100-inch Mt. Wilson teles
cope, heretofore the world's
largest.
! While first photographs with
the "big eye" last February were
somewhat fogged by a film of
oil and dust on the mirror's al
uminized surface, results were
so good that Dr. Hubble was
able to say:
"It seems unlikely that fur
ther significant gains can be ex
pected until great telescopes can
be operated outside our atmos
phere possibly on the moon."
: Pipeline company plans an im
'mediate aurvey of a 1,000-mile
line from northern British
Columbia and Alberta. Plans
call for a 26-inch pipeline, to
cost from 173,000,000 to $100.-
000.000, from Dawson creek,
n the Peace river block, through
Vancouver, and possibly as far
south in the United States as
Portland, Ore.
Before construction can start,
it will be necessary to obtain
approval of both the Alberta and
British Columbia governments.
Premier E. C. Manning of Al
berta has indicated favorable
consideration. In a recent state
ment, he said: '
"With Alberta's ever-increas-iny
gas reserves the time may
well be at hand when it will not
only be feasible but also advis
able for Alberta to allow export
of natural gas at least to the
neighboring provinces."
"Our project could be com
pleted in 18 months," said Nor
man Whittall, president of the
Peace River Natural Gas com
pany, who is associated with
Frank McMahon of Calgary. Mr.
McMahon organized the West
Coast Transmission Pipeline
company.
The four other companies
which have received federal
charters, and now await provin
cial government approval, are
the Trans-Northern Pipe Line
company; British-American
Pipeline company; Western
Pipelines and Inter-Provincial
Pipeline company.

School Notes
NLRB Rules on
Hiring Halls
Washington, May 7 (U.R) The
national labor relations board
today threw out another attempt
by maritime unions to get around
the Taft-Hartley law's ban on
the hiring hall and other forms
of union security.
The board ruled unanimously
in an earlier decision that the
hiring hall violates the Taft
Hartley law.
It split 3-2 today in refusing
to rehear its decisions in a juris-
' dictional dispute between the
Marine Cooks and Stewards
' union (CIO) and the Pacific
Coast Firemen, independent
union, on one side; and the Sail
ors' union (AFL) on the other.
Union security is a key issue in
the dispute over work jurisdic
tion on ships of the Irwin-Lyons
Lumber Co., San Francisco.
Irwin-Lyons entered into an
agreement with the AFL union
to give preference in hiring to
former employes. All of these
former employes are members
of the AFL union. The board
made no ruling on whether this
clause violates the Taft-Hartley
law in its decision two
weeks ago upholding the com
pany's assignment of jobs to the
AFL union members.
The CIO and independent
unions appealed from the deci
sion and asked a rehearing.
The majority members of the
board said that they had al
ready found that the two unions
have no board certification, or
der or contractural rights with
respect to these employes.

same tree, but a third, also a butt
cut, was nearly as large as the
butt of the first tree. The fir
giants came from Boulder Camp,
and unlike usual big logs, were
sound and made good lumber.
Because of the fact that the
logs required considerable hand
trimming and extra time in load
ing before they went through
the huge band saw at the mill,
each took about 45 minutes to
saw. Average time of sawing
logs in the mill is from three
to four minutes.

Charles it myself have been trying to get our pictures In

mayor get theirs in for free and here Charles I sit, two
good looking, haro working boys but no one will print our
pictures. Of course we could go out & kick in some fellows
plate glass window and get some publicity but that would
be breaking the law. Outside of a little illegal fishing once
in a while, we are good, honest, law biding citizens.
Anyhow, we want people to know who those Stevenson
boys are so we are paying to have our pictures printed. I'll
admit we ain't much to look at but by golly, looks ain't
everything. We've both got a lot of good qualities and one
of this is our GOOD FOOD. I still insist our KISH 'N
