Ohio. Holding the six-week old freak is Thelma Aelker. Veterinarians say that such births as this one are verv rare and can to be trsced to heredity. The calf is perfectly normal in all other respects. Is That So? If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how men would believe and adore: and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the City of God which has been shown: Ralph Waldo Emerson.

"In addition," he said, "expe rience has shown that a man will work harder to pay off his debts. As a result, installment buying stimulates both consump tion and production." Soviets Waiting Arthur O. Diets, president of C. I. T. Financial Corp., said for several years the Soviets have been waiting for the U.S. economy to crash and pull down the economies of the free world with it. "Soviet writers have since em phasized that such a depression has not occurred because of the continued growth of consumer credit in the United States," he said. Dietz. who heads the world's second biggest finance company, said "the c o n t i nued rise of sound installment financing in this country, apparently has con vinced the Russians that install ment cred: is a vital force con tributing significantly to this na tion's economic health and high standard of living." Zelomek said in his opinion the Russians have decided, "if you can't lick 'em, juin 'em." A -h land Recent additions to the Oregon Shakespearean Festival plant here include a small Tudor-type structure. lo cated against the rear wall of the audience area, and designed to serve as office headquarters for Angus L. Bowmer, Festival producing director. William Patton, general man ager of the event, paid special tribute to the voluntary efforts of Dexter Woodsworth. Ashland builder and businessman, who headed the building project. When) Richard Hay. Festival technical and art director, de signed the structure, he did so with an eye toward future versa tility. Present ue of the Tudor cottage as an office is tempor ary. When the new building is completed il will see other uses such as an information booth. Assisting in the project were George Thorpe, Don Miller, the Rev. John L. Thompson, and Rudolph Vest, all of Ashland, and Bob Billingsley of Medford.

Consider the infinite size of the heavens! The intensity of its heat, its density. So far we know that there are j heavenly bodies some 1.00U! million light years away or nearly 6.000. 000. 000. 000. 000. 000, 000 miles. There is good reason to believe that even remoter extra-galactic nebulae exist. And it is quite possible that they are receding at a speed that is fast er than light itself (670.455.000 miles per hour). Catch on? For our mutual amazement, let's look into Superlatives (Su perlatives, 170 Madison Ave. X. Y.) and pull together a few more astonishers. The largest nebulae range up to 200,000 light years in di ameter and have a luminosity up to 6.000 million times that of our sun: Outside of our own disk shaped galaxy, the nearest heav enly body is the Greater Magel lanic cloud which is some 86. 000 light years away (505,000, 000.000.000 miles). Sirius Brightest Star The brightest star in the heav ens is Sirius which is more than 50 billion miles away. It is about 26 times as bright as our sun. Not exactly small: it's about 1, 500.000 miles across. Its mass weighs roughly 45,000,000 bil lion tons. But if all the stars could be viewed at the same distance, then the brightest would be Sigma Dodarus which looks very faint to us on earth . . . but it is about 300.000 times brighter than our sun. With the exception of our own sun, the nearest star is 4.3 light years away. That means 25.757 billion miles away. A rocket loafing along at 5.000 miles an hour would take 575. 600 years to get there roughly, about 23.000 generations of earthlings. Of stars measured, the one with the greatest diameter is Epsilon Aurigae. It is 2'.z bil lion miles across. This one star is so vast that our own solar system of the sun and the six planets out as far as Saturn could -be accommodated inside. Hottest Stars Regarding the heat of these stars the hottest stars meas- James Cagney To Play Bull Halsey in Picture New York 'IT Actors James Cagney and Robert Montgomery have announced they will make a full-length movie "on the life of retired Fleet Admiral Wil liam F.

Their interiors, it is believed, may reach 20, 000,000 degrees. Tlie densest stars including a companion star to Sirius, the brightest star in the firmament to our eye has a density about 70.000 times that of water. A tiny BB shot of it could not be rested on a heavy plank: its enormous weight would go right through.

Washington in Tiio tmv has announced that it has suc cessfully developed a missile capable of defending flying aircraft. The missile, knnu-n Hi Hawk, will fill a can in nrrsfnl defense systems. Existing mis siles guard against high-flying attackers but have failed against planes flying at low altitudes. The failure resulted from inter ference to standard radar oper ations. The Army disclosed it already has started action in the New York and Washington-Baltimore areas to get sites needed for the new Hawk system. It said each battery will require about 40 acres for emplacement. To cut down on land-holding I requirements and in the interest of safety, the Army said, the missiles will be stored under ground. The Army said security pre j vents it from explaining what it I called the Hawk's "low-altitude I capabilitiy" as contrasted with the "high-altitude capability" of defense systems like Nike-Ajax and Nike-Hcrculcs.
