People have been around for only 1,000,000 years or so. Furthermore, if a mosquito or a beetle or a fly or ant of today should meet up with a mosquito, beetle, fly or ant of 25,000,000 years ago, he'd have to recognize him as a brother, but if a man met up with a man of 1,000,000 years ago, he'd run in fright from such a monster. Dr. Reginald D. Manwell, pro fessor of zoology, Syracuse Uni versity, and an authority on the "insect Pompeii" near Floris sant, Colo., indicated that peo ple have no call for being stuffy toward insects. He reserved judgment on who was going to exterminate whom in the long run. Carcasses Fossilized This "Pompeii" occurred just about 25,000,000 years ago. The earth was heaving up the Rocky Mountains. A series of volcanic explosions produced the dust which snuffed out the lives of uncountable myraids of insects, and a fortuitous series of cir cumstances fossilized their car cases in shale. The same kind of thing hap pened around Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. but it was the city of Pompeii and its inhabitants which were buried and pre served to satisfy the curiosity of those who came later. At Florissant, Manwell and other scientists have found out about the insects of, as Manwell put it, "a time so long ago that we can not even call it a forgotten epoch." A startling thing is that the insects then were very much like the insects now indeed, you can go so far as to say many of them were identical. "Not only have insects apparently undergone little structural change in many millions of years," said Prof. Manwell in a publication of the American As sociation for the Advancement of Science, "but also their habits, at least in many cases, remain much the same. Man Not Around Man wasn't around then, of course, since he then was some 24.000,000 years in the future. But man is a mammal and the mammals who were around are now in the main extinct and those which are not extinct, have evolved into very different forms. The coal-forming period of time which ended 220,000,000 years ago has left indisputable evidence of how long insects have been around. But life itself, the professor said, "is a kind of clock and, like all clocks, refers only to the present, but has meaning only in terms of the past, since the future cannot be known.

Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY ' United Press Correspondent (Editor's note: Aline Mosby is on vacation. Actor Kirk Douglas wrote guest column on how actors are all really kids at heart.) By KIRK DOUGLAS Written for the United Proof Hollywood (U.R) I believe that whatever success an actor or actress achieves in motion pictures is attributable to the fact they never quite grew up. In my opinion, the convincing performance, intimately project ed on the screen, comes directly from the performer's ability to sublimate his real-life personal ity into the character he is called upon to portray. I feel whatever success I have achieved is due to the fact I've never quite grown up that I still have the same faculty a kid has in playing cops and robbers, or cowboys and Indians to forget I'm playing a part and to actually feel that I AM the per son the script calls for. Take an average adult busin ess man and say to him: "We'd like you to grow a beard, dress up in a short skirt, and go running all over the Ital ian countryside with a bow and arrow and a spear and play Ulysses." I guarantee you, he'd blush a little, stammer & polite refusal and then probably get pretty mad that you'd even ask him to do such a thing. xet wnen paramount ap proached me to play the title role in "Ulysses" opposite Sil vana Mangano, the kid in me made me jump at the chance. Here was a chance to portray one of the great heroes of the world's literary history; a chance to swashbuckle all over the place to fight a giant, to battle the elements at sea, to sack the city of Troy and to make movie love to a couple of beautiful wo men. Well, what actor could refuse such an opportunity any more than one of my young sons could refuse a chance to put on a cow boy hat and his six-gun cap pis tols and go galloping out of the house to play cowboy. And playing the part gave me deep satisfaction because for weeks I had to live and be the great Greek warrior. Vicariously I obtained the same thrill Ulys ses himself must have felt at the successful conclusion of his her oic deeds. To me it is a wonderful thing to be able to do this aside from the fact that it has made me a handsome living as an act or. I loved playing the role, just as a kid gets a kick out of shout ing "Bang, Bang," and slaying an imaginary redskin. I believ ed I was Ulysses just as the kid thoroughly believes he is Davey Crockett when he puts on a coon-skin cap. J&spcr j Canadian Rockies J$ j 9-day vnVnof II, I tour arjrjrox. 411.
