Jfri LA GUARDIA SURE RDOSEV ELT Chicago, Oct. 16 flJ.R) Mayor Fiorello G. LaGuardia returned to isew York today after a brief Invasion of the mid-west during which time he announced that "President Roosevelt is going to win nis second war for the Amer ican people." At about the same time that Mayor LaGuardia was declaring himself in favor of a fourth term for the president, Vice-President Henry A. Wallace told a nearby Gary, Ind., audience that full postwar employment cannot be maintained '.'by giving the green light to Wall Street." LaGuardia said last nleht thnt i ou Know and I know the presi dent Is going to win this war for us. It Is the second war he has won for us He won one of the greatest wars ever waged the war over hunger, suffering, star vation and hardship." Wallace told his listeners that In the war emergency "industry was very patriotic but it Is also very mindful of the dollar," and that wartime conversion had been achieved by "labor govern ment and certain enlightened leaders in industry" who finally succeeded in putting it over de spite those who wanted to hold back.

Hufjh Pruelt Astronomer, General Extension Division, University of Oregon Although the August Perscids, because of their dependability and abundance, usually receive more publicity than any other meteoric display of the year, yet tuberculosis and one of measles, also in the Medford district. w mm listed, these being two cases of hf e aJe several other so-called . - . .1 "etai" thnmore 1 mhinh oro rf real interest. For a few nights around October 19, the Orionid meteors produce enough fireworks to cause anyone who is under the open sky for an hour to remark that "shooting stars are rather numerous tonight." While the Perseids at their time of maxium around August 11 will give a single observer 60 or more "thrills" an hour, the Orionids are usually good for only about 20. But some years these meteors really out do themselves. In 1938 counts reached as high as 40 per hour. In 1936, in the words of the Vassar college observatory di rector, "On the night of October 19 a remarkable shower was ob served between the hours of 12 and 4:20." (This evidently re ferred to the morning of the 20th.) Man reports for that morn ing showed Orionid counts of above 60 an hour, or as good as the Perseids at their best. Dr. Olivier of the University of Penn sylvania said he believed the Orionids did better than the Perseids that year. The maximum In 1944 will likely appear during the night beginning October 19. Orion will be below the eastern horizon until around lip. m. The best counts will doubtless be ob tained during the morning hours. No promise is made of an un usual display this year, though luckily there will be no moon to blot out the faint meteors. Some consider meteor watch ing and counting the most en trancing of moving picture shows. The 1944 reports on the Perseids received by this writer were the most numerous of any Sha It Jane Doe house wife. And there are times when the hates to admit the home- , maker part.

One woman, counting for the first time, wrote, "It w a s so much fun I can hardly wait un til next year to do it again." Miss Eleanor Sandmeyer, an amateur astronomer of Buhl, Idaho, observed for nearly two weeks and was rewarded the morning of August 12 when, despite a half moon, during two hours she sighted 153 meteors streaking the pre-dawn skies. The present writer, who Is Pacific director of the American Meteor society, will appreciate receiving Orionid counts this year. Address him at 1832 Long view avenue, Eugene, Ore.
