Sagittarius Attracts Br J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System Tangled in the edge of the Milky Way low in the southern sky these August evenings, there is a group of stars of only mod est bridghtness which because of their unusual arrangement often attract the attention even of those who lay no claim to be star students. To some this group is seen as "the teapot;" to ohers, "the double dipper;" to the ancients it was Sagittarius, the archer. Without a diagram this con stellation can perhaps most eas ily be pointed out as a "double dipper." Tonight it will be about due south two hours after sun set. To the right of it two red- PARK VIEW NURSING HOME 906 West Main Street Medford, Oregon Phone 2-6938 Completely equipped Nursing Home for chronic -nd convalescents.

Tne iirst is the Drignt star An tares; still farther away and in the southwest the planet Mars is still brighter. Perfect Dipper The principal stars in Sagit tarius (sound "g" as "j" and ac cent third syllable) are of about the brightness of the dimmer stars of the well-known Big Dip per. Look first for a perfect four starred dipper, suspended by its handle and drawn back some what toward the east as if ready, upon release, to swing to the right and plunge deeply into the nearby Milky Way for a full measure of its starry froth. The Litle Milk Dipper, as it is called, has only one star in its handle. The star just mentioned serves also as the handle of the other dipper, which is to the right of the Little "Milk Dipper and is engulfed in the densest of the Milky Way. This dipper opens towards the left, but is not as perfect as the first one described. The lower right-hand star of the bowl, if raised somewhat, would make it perfect, however. This dipper forms part of the bow of Sagittarius. Teacher of Bow In classical mythology, Sag ittarius was a centaur, an odd creature with the body and four legs of a horse to which was attached in place of the neck and head of a horse the body, arms, and head of a man. Our archer was said to have been named Chiron and was a teacher of the use of the bow to Grecian youths. His wife, Rhea,, was very jealous and con stantly spied on him. Thorough ly tired of this, he transformed himself into a centaur in order that Rhea might not recognize him. Scratch Causes Death Finally an accidental scratch of a poisoned arrow in the hands of his pupil, the mightly Her cules, caused his death. He was then placed in the heavens where he has since pointed his arrow at the huge Scorpion west of him. With the moon now out of the evening sky, the beauties of these southern stars and the long band of the Milky Way can be seen, at their best. When the crescent moon ap pears in the western twilight toward the end of this week, note that it is a "wet moon" and will not hold water as it did six months ago. SAVES HAIRPINS Edgewood, R. I.

The effort is a united one, with over 30 churches in Jack son and Josephine counties al ready cooperating. More church es are joining each week, spokes men for the meeting said. The Rogue Valley Crusade for Christ is the same group that brought Billy Graham to Med ford two years ago, when the largest religious service ever held in Southen Oregon took place at the high school stadium. The big tent, with 2,500 seats, will be pitched on East Jackson street opposite Hawthorne park. It is believed the tent will be the largest ever used for evange listic purposes in the Medford area. The dates of the services are from September 7 through 28. The evangelist, 39-year-old Jim Mercer, has held a large number of city-wide campaigns; recent ones being held at Salem and Hillsboro.
