In the Day's Hews
Br FRANK JENKINS
Let's talk about the little
things.
The. Air Force sent its
Pioneer moon rocket off into
the wide blue yonder - spar
kling blue for a while and
then becoming the dead black
of outer space at a speed of
34,400 feet per second. A top
American scientist - Dr. I. M.
Levitty of Philadelphia - says
that to reach its goal it should
have started off 850 feet per
second faster.
It is also deduced that the
Pioneer was shot off at too
steep an angle, thus slowing
its speed and using more fuel
like starting your car off up
too steep a hill.
THOSE are LITTLE things.
But little things are
often SO important.
Like the apple that fell off
the tree and hit Sir Isaac New
ton on the head, suggesting to
him the law (now known as
the law of gravity) that all
particles of matter in the uni
verse exert an attraction on
one another.
That law is now IMMENSE
LY important because it has
so much to do with the success
or failure of outer space
travel.
THAT brings up another
little thing-a little bloop
er in announcing the achieve
ment of our moon rocket. It
was erroneously asserted that
U sped BEYOND the pull of
earth's gravity.
That isn't true. The moon
itself is within the pull of
earth's gravity. It circles
around the earth because at
the point of its orbit the pull
of gravity is exactly balanced
by the push of centrifugal
force. '
You can illustrate that for
yourself by fastening a ball to
a string and whirling the ball
around your head. The string
has the same effect - as the
earth's gravity pull. It is cen
trifugal force that pushes the
ball outward and keeps the
string tight. x
BUT let's get away from
moon rockets and outer
space travel.
On upper crust Esher Park
avenue in London lives a citi
zen named John Luttmore. He
owns a minah bird. Next door
to him lives another citizen
named Clifford Blackmore.
Citizen Blackmore haled
Citizen Luttmore into court
on a charge that Luttmore's
minah bird is a raucous char-
t acter that wolf-whistles girls
and sings like a drunken sail-1
'or. Wheri the bird gets tired
of wolf whistling and .drunk
en . singing, Blackmore al-1
leges, it goes into a startling
imitation of suddenly screech
ing car brakes, throwing
everybody within hearing into
a tizzy.
He. complains that he can
hear the bird over his garden
hedge from dawn till dusk.
On summer evenings he has
trouble getting the children
to sleep and finds it unbear
able to sit out in his garden..
He terms the minah bird a
nuisance and demands that
the nuisance be abated.
A LITTLE thing?
Sure it is. -:
But if the ruckus over the
minah bird gets bitter and
still more bitter as ruckuses
like that can do - the joy of
living on London's Esher Park
avenue will be destroyed.
Destruction of the joy of
living is a BIG THING in this
world.
