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-

I dish objects are easily sighted.
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.

Interest Mounting In Gospel Services
Interest in the forthcoming
"big tent" gospel services with
Evangelist Jim Mercer is rapid
ly mounting, according to offic
ials of the Rogue Valley Crusade
for' Christ, sponsors of the cam
paign. 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. He will bring
with him the campaign song
leader and soloist, Iner Bassin-
ger, and Mrs. Bassinger will be
the organist.
