Harvard Protestant scientist i The study involved six large and a Jesuit priest who collabo rated in a survey of 6,000 rep resentee families. "Good families in America art like the adage 'bird of a feather flock together' in their reciprocal relationships to pro tect the best of family life," said Father Lucius F. Cervantes, S. J., of Denver. Colo. And in another way. Dr. Carle C. Zimmerman, profespor of so ciology at Harvard, said "People who are trying to do the richt thing family-wise and are afraid of trouble for their children try to flock with people who are better." ' The priest and the scientist j gave their findings to the United I Mystery of Life on Mars May Never Be By F. VAN SCHOIACK BENTLEY "Is there really life on Mars?" students often inquire. This question is almost as old as the study of astronomy. Well, what about it? Nobody knows. Mars has seasons about t,wice as long as ours; some wa ter, but much less than we have; a type of vegetation and an at mosphere much "thinner" than the air surrounding the earth. Life as we know it could exist, but by our standards it would be a rugged type of living. How ever, astronomers are hoping to obtain much important data on this "sixty-four dollar question" during 1956. There is even a possibility of settling the matter. Close. Approach Due On Sept. 7. 1956, Mara will Three Log Trucks Involved in Two Collisions Friday Three logging trucks were in volved in two separate collisions reported by state police Friday. At 12:57 p.m. the state police said log trucks driven by Clyde Norman Caton and Elwell Hakes, both of Ashland, collided on Highway 99 at the intersection of Valley View rd. Damage was done to both trucks, but the "drivers were uninjured. Caton was cited for failure to yield the right of way. At 1:30 p.m. the same day, a log truck driven by Samuel Dean Evensizer, 30, route 1, box 152-A, Rogue River, struck the rear of a car driven by Molly Waldorf Gatliff, 77, of Eureka, Calif., police reported. The accident occurred north of the Rogue Riviera lodge on Highway 99. State police said the Gatliff sedan had slowed to a near stop when Evensizer's truck rounded the corner. He put on his brakes, skidding al most to a stop, but struck the rear bumper of the car with the truck's right fuel tank, the report said. Evensizer was cited for fol lowing too close. YMCA Theft Solved; Admitted by Boys Theft of two wrist watches and $1.13 in cash from YMCA men's lockers Aug. 20 was solved Fri day with the arrest of four juv nile boys, according to city po lice. Three of the boys were 13 and the other 14 years of age. They admitted in written statements that they stole the money and watches, total value about $26, from the men's lockers of the YMCA. The boys were released to their parents and ordered to ap pear in juvenile court. The original complaint of the theft was made by Walter Eston Humphrey, route 2, box 417, Medford, on Aug. 20. He report ed the items were taken between 3 and 5 p.m. that day. Driver Dozes Off; Car Leaves Highway A one-car accident at 1 a.m. Saturday morning caused minor damages to the car when the driver dozed off while traveling along Highway 99, state police reported. John R. Alexandro. 22. Grants Pass, was the driver. Officers said he was driving south on Highway 99 near Foots creek wnen ne aozea mi ana uie tar went onto the shoulder. Alpxan-' dro attempted to get the vehicle , back on the highway, but the rear end struck a concrete block at the entrance to a driveway at the C. J. Montag residence. The block was knocked into the driveway. Alexandro was not hurt. Narragansett. R.I. OJ.RI Dr. Charles J. Fish is director of the Narragansett Marine Laboratory. cities, Boston, New Orleans, St. Louis. Omaha, Denver and Los Angeles, and two small cities, Morgantown, W. Va., and Still water, Okla. They found that families try to make a "cocoon" of social relations about their children. They have certain few selected family friends who are permitted to visit their homes over a period of years. These family friends are very much alike, not only in ideals and ambitions but also with similar backgrounds. The two sociologists measured backgrounds by religion, kind red or intermarriage, region of orgin and wealth or income. The more the families had similar Answered be approximately 35,000,000 miles away from the earth. As tronomically speaking, this is practically in our back yard, ' and is the red planet's closest approach to us since 1924. On Sept. 10, the sun, earth, and j Mars will be in a straight line with the earth in the center plac ing Mars in a very favorable "op-; position" for scrutiny. These fa vorable oppositions occur about every 17 years. Because the orbit or path fol lowed by Mars is not a true cir cle, but slightly elliptical or elongated, the red planet's dis tance from the earth varies from 35.000,000 to 235,000.000 miles j and its brightness changes ac-' cordingly. This fall a combina tion of events gives to earth- dwellers an unusual opportunity for the study of our neighboring planet: Mars reaches its point of j nearest approach just three days before it reaches the position as- j tronomers call opposition. ! May Not Be Answered i New and improved techniques for observation coupled with the use of new instruments may sup ply answers to some of our age- 1 old questions concerning the "god of war." The canal coiitro- versy may even be settled! This argument was started nearly 80 years ago by an as- tronomer. Giovanni Schiaparelli, who said that he saw lines run- j ning across the surface of Mars, j Schiaparelli called these lines, j canali, which is the Italian word j for channels, and from this the I "canals" on Mars originated. Professional astronomers do not .agree on the existence of j these "canals." Some claim to have seen them and others firmly j deny their existence. No camera : has ever photographed the "ca- nals." i Seek More Knowledge Astronomers, the world over, ! have for months been using j cameras, telescopes, spectro scopes, and other instruments in ' a special effort to learn more of our celestial neighbor while it is so favorably placed for observa tion. Anyone who has the priv- i ilege of viewing this planet ' through a large telescope is for-1 tunate. The use of binoculars J makes it possible to see the plan- j et's disk. i The diameter of Mars is about one half the diameter of the earth and approximately twice the diameter of our moon. A day on the red planet is about 37 ; minutes longer than our day, but ; due to the fact that Mars is far-1 ther from the sun than we are, ! a year consists of 687 days. Mars has two tiny moons, named Phobos and Deimos in honor of the two sons of the god of war, that are among the smallest of the known heavenly bodies. ! Given Name ! This celestial body has always attracted attention and 2,440 years before the birth of Christ i was named the "Red Planet" by the Chinese. The Hebrews called j it the "Burning One." Ancient i Romans named it "Mars" after their god of war because its red or ruddy color suggested blood. Mars is now visible in the southeast where' it rises about j one and one-half hours after sun set. Ther are no bright stars in 1 that part of the heavens and the red brilliance of the non-twink-1 ling "star" dominates the south eastern sky. It will continue to brighten rapidly as it draws nearer to the earth. After Sept. 7. its briehtness begins to fade gradually, but not perceptibly so. until the month of November. By the last of Decem ber, it will be much dimmer, rise directly overhead at sunset and set about midnight. Soles - Rentals folding WHEEL CHAIRS . Oft Sundays and Holidays 10 a-sn. to f s.ss.
