Hugh Pruett (Astronomer, General Extension, University of Oregon) Scarcely would one believe that observations of the faint Il lumination of the northern lights, or aurora borealls, would be of value to the war effort. But such decidedly Is the case according to Dr. C. W. Oart lein, director since 1S3B of the National Geographic society Cornell university program for auroral research. Dr. Gartlcin Is appealing for volunteer ob servers In the United States and Canada who will report prompt ly when even the faintest auroral glow is seen In the sky. Just how such data is being used Is of course a secret, yet Dr. Gartlcin has authorized those assisting him In public appeals for observers to state that it Is of real value and urgently needed. We are now at about the time tn the average 11-year cycle when sunspots are at a minimum. Since there Is a de finite connection between sun spots and auroras, one might as sume that the latter Is now seldom seen. Although the northern lights will likely be come more numerous during the next few years, yet several heve been reported quite re cently. We usually associate the aurora borealls with far north ern regions. True, they are more splendid and appear more often in such localities, yet very fine displays are some times seen In the temperate zones. Since these lights are generally . quite faint, clear moonless skies and the absence of artificial illumination are needed for successful observa tions. Such observations now want ed require at least am hourly inspection of the clear night sky during the hours agreed upon by the voluntary observer. Months might pass without any thing to report. When an aurora is seen, It Is to be ob served carefully and reported at once on the blanks provided. Those well removed from city ugnts may be most helpful. The present writer, who has been assisting In this work for several years, has been request ed to attempt the recruiting of more observers. Anyone who can help is asked to write him at the university of Oregon In Eugene. Please state what period of the evening or night will be convenient and the pos sibility of dark observing loca tions. Those In well-illuminated cities can do very little. RITES FOR PILOT Glendale, Cal Dec J7. U.R) Military funeral services were conducted today for Col. Wil liam Edward Dyesa,. 27-year-old aviator-hero of the battle for the Philippines , who was killed Wednesday when his P-38 fight er plana crasned tn a fiurbank street. FAVORS 10-TON TRUCKS New York (U.R) Production of heavy trucks for army use will be doubled In 1S44 to meet the service's new preference for lu-tonners, manufacturers have Indicated. The heavy carriers have proved more efficient on the battlefronts than an equal tonnage of lighter machines. It Is said. Not only do they re quire less personnel and fewer service shops per amount of freight handled, but they reduce traffic congestion on busy mili tary roads. as UsU tribune Want Ada, LOWELL THOMAS Interpret History While It Happens Tune in Tonight Portland KWJJ 5an Francisco KGO BVBRY NIGHT Monday through fnday.
