Gemini Twins
In Eastern Sky
By FAY BENTLEY
"By jiminy," a surprised voice
exclaimed. Strange as it may
seem this familiar expression
originated from the name of a
constellation of stars, Gemini
the Great Twin Brethern.
In mythology, Castor and Pol
lux were the twin sons of the
king and queen of Sparta. Jup
iter had given to Pollux the gift
of immortality but Caster was
human. However, both boys were
stronger, braver and more ac
complished than any ordinary
mortals.
Close Companions
Despite the difference in rank
the youths loved each other
deeply and were inseparable
companions. Castor could ride
the wildest horses and Pollux
was reknown for running and
boxing.
As very young lads, they join
ed Jason's expedition in search
of the golden fleece. One night
their ship was endangered by
a terrible storm.
Orpheus soon calmed the
waves with the wonderful music
of his lyre. When the storm had
ceased, a bright star was seen
to be hovering over the head
of each one of the twins, and
from that moment. Castor and
Pollux were considered to be
the patrons of seafarers.
Carry Firgurehead
A number of Roman and
Grecian ships carried figure
heads to represent Gemini, the
Great Twin Brethren. The
Apostle Paul, telling of his jour
ney from Alexandria to Rome,
writes in Acts 28:11, "And after
three months we departed in a
ship of Alexandria . . . whose
sign was Castor and Pollux."
Gemini is an old constellation
and the slang phrase, "By
jiminy," is a corruption of the
old seaman habit of saying "By
Uemim when taking an oath.
The Twins who hated pirates
as much as they admired sailors
tried to drive all marauders out
of the Hellespont. Their lives
were so filled with successful ad
ventures that people came to
believe the mere presence of
these youths would assure vic
tory in any undertaking.
Brother Killed
While still a young man, the
mortal brother, Castor, was kill
ed in battle. Pollux, in grief and
Forest Industry
Discussed in IV
Cave Junction Various
phases of the forest industry
were discussed at a meeting of
tree farmers and wood lot own
ers from Illinois valley. Grants
Pass and Medford here last
week.
Sponsored jointly by the
Southern Oregon Christmas Tree
association and the forestry
committee of the Josephine
county planning conference,
speakers for the meeting were
from the bureau of land man
agement, the Oregon state for
estry department, the extension
service, Southern Oregon Christ
mas Tree association, Portola
Lumber company and from a
new hardwood plant at Sunny
Valley.
E. W. (Jiggs) Morris, chair
man of both the Christmas tree
association and the forestry com
mittee, presided at the session.
County Agent Harry Clark
said more people have inquired
about Christmas tree farming at
the extension office in the last
four months than during all of
the past five years.
Several wholesalers an
nounced that between 1V4 and
3 million Christmas trees were
burned In California last season
as a result of oversupply.
It was generally felt that
overproduction would lower the
market price and that coopera
tives such as the Southern Ore
gon Christmas Tree association
could assist by providing only
first quality trees, to be con
tracted for a year in advance.

In compassion for the unhappy
