Mrs. F. R. I am very worried about my 15-year-old daughter, Stella, who is very childish lor her age. She is quite smart in school and her teachers have no complaints about her behavior, but she is just impossible at home. . For example, she got hold of her younger sister's hula hoop and she plays with it by the hour. She can do more twirls with it than any of the youngsters in the neigh borhood and every day puts on a performance in the back yard with everyone watching. When children play with this thing I see nothing wrong in it, but when a well-developed 15-year-old exhibits her self in this way, it is embar rassing. I have tried to ex plain that this is a child's toy and that she is making a fool of herself, but I haven't been able to stop her. Sulla R. I am picked on so much at home, it is just terrible. My parents think nothing of it when my kid sister does these things, but with me everything is for bidden. My kid sister can chew bubble gum, wear sweaters and jeans-wherever and whenever she likes and make with the hula hoop by the hour, but with me it's a different story. I may be 15, but that isn't exactly being an old woman yet. Girls in. their 20s have danced with the hula hoop on TV, so what's so terrible sbout my doing it in the back varrl? . My parents keep telling me to act like a grown-up, but they treat me like a baby. They set up a howl if I wear a little more make-up than usual and they make me come home from parties and dates earlier than anyone else. I am the laughing stock of all my friends. . ' The Council Stella does appear to be rather childish, but in this she is showing one of the natural phases of her adolescence. Like most adolescents she looks forward eagerly to the excitement and privileges of being grown up, but she also has some fears about that stage and would like to deny her own maturity. When Stella indulges in her hula hoop performances, she probably is accomplishing two things in her own mind insisting that she is still a child, and seizing an oppor tunity for some exhibitionism of her maturing body. She is probably vaguely aware that there is a difference between her intimate performance of the neighborhood and a smoothly perfected perform ance on TV, but her impulses are Scr strong she prefers to slur this difference in her own mind. Stella must be aware of the reasons why her parents out law bubble gum and sweaters and jeans for her, but allow her kid sister to enjoy these things. The fact that she makes an issue of it may mean that she wants a little more open discussion of these matters. As long as Stella is Six Persons Die In Hotel Explosions Allentown, Pa.-(UPD-A series of gas explosions destroyed the Mountainville- Inn Sun day, killing six persons in cluding a photographer for the Allentown Call-Chronicle The first explosion in the street 'in front of the inn routed about 30 guests and employees from their beds They were joined by 100 resi dents of the area who gath ered to watch firemen fight the blaze that erupted in the street. The second blast shattered the hotel, killed all six vic tims instantly and injured 24 persons, two critically. One of the dead was iden tified as Lester Kraft Jr., 29, a darkroom . technician and photographer for the Call- Chronicle. Santa Cruz, Tenerife, Can ary Island -(UPD- The drifting balloon "The Small World" was believed Monday to have covered about 700 miles on its flight across the Atlantic. torn between the desire to de ny and assert her budding femininity, prim annoyance or embarrassment on the part of the parents leaves her in an angry, bewildered mood. She will look for other means of expressing the same conflict. Mrs. F. R. ought to help Stella find a feminine ideal. Books and teen-age magazines are very helpful in creating an image to which young girls can aspire. When Stella has a clear-cut standard to work toward, it will be much easier to gently guide her in the right direction. (Copyright 1958, General ' Features Corp.)

SERIES MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE United States, Russia Relieved To Be Neck-and-Neck for Space leadership Washington-flTPD Govern ment experts believe as 1953 ends that the U.S. and Russia are running neck-and-neck for the space leadership of the world. The Soviets can claim only one clearly superior accomp lishment for the year launch ing the 3,000-pound Sputnik III last May 15. Against this, American can claim a variety of achieve ments, including the outstand ing scientific result of 1958 discovery by the Explorer satellites of the' deadly "Van Allen belt" of radiation at altl tudes of more than 600 miles above the earth. . The situation is far differ ent from what it was at the beginning of the year, when the Soviets, with the success ful Sputniks held undisputed leadership in the race for space, the U. S. just having blown up a Vanguard rocket in its first attempt at hurling a "moon" iinto orbit. Strong Evidence Today, America's many pronged programs for launch ing satellites in the coming months from both the East and and West coasts and for continuing lunar probes in which the Soviets are not yet participating gives strong evi dence that the U.S. may move definitely ahead in 1959. Sputnik Ill's great weight, nearly 100 times that of the heaviest of America's orbiting moons, would seem to mean Soviet leadership in the race to the next big prestige prize- placmg a manned vehicle in orbit around the earth. , Manned orbital flight is now expected within two or three years. Numerous calcul ations agree that this acieve- ment, including the man's safe return to earth,, will require almost the same "payload" weight as Russia's Sputnik. To the rocket experts in the Pentagon and the new U. S. civilian space agency, how ever, the weight of Sputnik III merely means that the Sov iets have used , their intercon tinental ballistic missile for satellite launchings, while America has not yet reached that state. Satellite Booster The Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency now assures that America s Atlas ICBM will be used as a satellite booster during 1959, and that its use eventually will make possible orbiting payloads of as much as 4,000 pounds. That is enough to allow for a "man in space" capsule, which is already being design ed and could fly in 1960 or 1961. The capsule and man are expected to weigh about 2,500 pounds. Additional pay load is needed for "safety" rockets,' which, would be set off to free the capsule and permit the man to descend by parachute if the launcher blew up. ' - Another field In which America may or may not be ahead of the Russians is the launching of . military recon naissance satellites. Experi mental models of these may go up as often as once a month in 1959 from Vandenberg Air Force Base, on part of what was formerly Camp Cooke in California. Globe Surveyed The reconnaissance satel lites will sail over the North and South Poles. With the The latest census shows the United Kingdom has a popu lation of 51,221,000. Nearly 42,000,000 live in England.

Launchings, started with the 1,500-mile Thor as a booster and with a payload of about 300 pounds, are to work up to the use of the 5,500-mile Atlas. The starting gun for Amer ican space successes was fired on the night of Jan. 31, 1958, at Cape Canaveral, Fla., when the Army rocketed into orbit Explorer I, the first U. S. satellite. A second Army attempt fail ed on March 5, but on March 17, Vanguard I, a small test sphere, found an orbit. Ex plorer III on March 26 and Explorer IV in July brought the total of successful U.S. moon launchings to four. Between Explorer III and IV, a major mystery develop ed, because the satellites were reporting expected amounts of radiation below altitudes of 600 to 7Q0 miles, but none above that level. Dr James A. Van Allen of the University of Iowa con cluded that the radiation at higher levels was so intense that the instruments were "overwhelmed" and could not report. That has now been confirm ed by Explorer IV. Van Allen believes the radiation may go as high as 1,000 "roentgens" per hour at 8,000 miles, which would mean that an unprotect ed person would suffer a leth al dose in a half hour. The Air Force's three lunar probe launchings . took the spotlight on Aug. 17, Oct. 11 and Nov. 7. Although none was successful in reaching the moon, the flight of Pioneer II to an altitude of 79,212 miles held the attention of the world for more than 30 hours. Dales To Pick If space historians of the future are looking for signific ant dates in 1958, they may pick March 27, when Presi dent Eisenhower ordered the lunar probes and also issued a historic statement assuring the public that "this is not science fiction." The historians might also pick Aug. 15, when Roy John son, ARPA director, ordered development of a rocket "clus ter" with a combined thrust of 1,500,000 pounds. If the Atlas can project two tons into orbit, the cluster should be able to orbit 12 to 15 tons. Another significant date may turn out to have been Oct. 1, when the Civilian Na tional Aeronautics and Space Agency headed by Dr. T. Keith Glennan took over much of the space program, including a 50 per cent voice in the "man in space" project. Actually, . America's lunar rockets have the power to send objects of almost equal weight to the planets Mars and Venus, 50 million to 100 million miles away. But man ned " flight to the moon will MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, December 16, 195S IS prove much easier because of the shorter distance, shorter time and lesser amount of navigation required. President E i s e n hower's March 27 statement, outling the nation's space plans, in cluded "human flight in orbit" under the heading "later." "Human lunar exploration and return" came under the heading "still later," while "human planetary explora tion" was labeled "much later still." SPECIAL a BIG Double Load DRY WOOD McGinfy Fuel Go.
