Sue is 22 and her boy friend

I dont have much hope,

SPEEDY GLOBE-CIRCLER
Miami - (DPS - A 38-year-old
travel agent today rested up
from the effects of a round-the-world
trip which took 128

traveled only by commercial
, airliners, said he staged the
' trip to prove it could be done

can always change our minds
later if we want to. My hus
band thinks I'm all wrong.
Jack R-The way I see it,
this money really belongs to
Sue. We saved for her as
we did for the other children.
Her two sisters got nice
church weddings and hand
some money gifts besides. We
have no right to withhold this
money from her.
If we do this to Sue it will
mean an end to our relation
ship with her. My wife is so
upset now that she says she
doesn't care, but I think she'll
feel different later. I know
she'll want to see Sue-and
I certainly wilL I don't want
to lose my daughter, regard
less of what she does.
Once we do this thing we'd
never be able to go back on
it as Carol suggests. I know
Sue and I know she wouldn't
take the money later on.
The Council: We get the im
pression that withholding the
money will cause Jack more
pain than his daughter and
this is a factor to consider,
These parents should not cut
off their noses to spite their
faces.
Jack is wrong, however, in
his idea that the money "real
ly belongs" to Sue. No gift
is an obligation and a wed
ding gift is not an exception.
Parents do not like to with
hold from one child what is
given to another, but if they
wish to underline their disap
proval, it is an effective way
to do it and give vent to their
feelings.
We also take strong excep
tion to Carol's idea of using
the money as a threat. In the
first place, it will probably
strengthen this already rebel
lious girl in her plans. In the
second place, it causes her to
lose respect for her parents
and the principles they pro
fess.
Sue has chosen to buck her
family and she should be will
ing to accept one of the con
sequences. If she is mature
and marrying for love and
not simply as an expression
of rebellion against her par
ents, she will accept her dis
appointment about the money
in stride. If she is immature
and bent on defying her par
ents, a wedding gift will not
prevent her from later find
ing other issues out of which
to create bitterness.
The withholding of this gift
should not, in itself ,'- result
in the loss of this daughter.
If these parents do not want
a complete break with their
daughter they should tell her
so in just those words. The
idea is, "We don't approve of
your" marriage and will do
nothing to encourage it, but
we'll always love you and
consider you our daughter."
It is impossible to escape some
pain and bitterness in such
a situation, but most parents
will prefer to leave a path
open for future contact.

I increased Ca rbon Dioxide Said
To Result in Warmer Climate
New York Have the 360
billion tons of carbon dioxide
released by man-made fires
during the past century altr
ered the earth's climate? "At
least one prominent scientist
suspects so and if fossil fuels
continue to provide our en
ergy needs at the present rate,
he predicts that a tropical
climate may engulf the entire
globe wtihin a thousand years
Of the numerous theories
advanced in explanation of
long term climate change one
put forward in the last cen
tury fits the geological rec
ord like a glove, according to
Gilbert N. Plass, senior staff
member of the Office of Ad
vanced Research of Aeronu
tronic Systems, Inc. "Accord
ing to this theory," Dr. Plass
explains, "carbon dioxide and
some other gases in the atmos
phere influence temperature
because their molecules ab
sorb infrared radiation. The
carbon dioxide blanket pre
vents the escape of heat re
leased when sunlight strikes
the earth and the trapped ra
diation warms the atmosphere
in consequence.
Other Reservoirs
"Today the atmosphere con
tains some 2,300 tons of car
bon dioxide.03 per cent of
its total mass. In addition sub
stantial amounts are found in
three other great reservoirs:
oceans, rocks and living or
ganisms. Both the atmosphere
and the oceans continuously
exchange carbon dioxide with
rocks and with living organ
isms so that an equilibrium
with- the air is maintained.
Studies of rock strata show,
however, that for the past
billion years most of the
world has had a tropical
climate, broken every 250
million years or so by rela
tively short glacial periods
when a substantial portion of
the earth has been buried
under successive sheets of ice.
During the last 620,000 years
of the current glacial epoch,
for example, deep ocean sedi
ments show 10 distinct temp
erature cycles. The carbon
dioxide theory may well ac
count for these temperature
fluctuations.
"We have only to extrapo
late existing records of temp
erature and fossil-fuel con
sumption to predict the clim
ate of the future. Quite ac
curate records of the amount
of fossil fuel consumed in the
world each year show that
in the past 100 years man has
added about 360 billion tons
of carbon dioxide to the at
mosphere. As a result the at
mospheric concentration has
increased by about 13 per
cent. The carbon dioxide
theory predicts that such an
increase should raise the ave
rage temperature of the earth
one degree Fahrenheit. This
is almost exactly the average
increase recorded all over the
world during the past cen
tury! If fuel consumption con
tinues to increase at the pres
ent rate, we will have sent
more than a trillion tons of
carbon dioxide into the air by
the year 2000. This should
raise the earth's average
temperature 3.6 degrees.
Earth Will Be Warmer
"In less than 1,000 years, if
consumption continues to in
crease at the current rate, we
will have exhausted the cur
rently known reserves of coal
and oil. By that time we will
have multiplied the carbon
dioxide tonnage of the air 18
times. When the ocean-atmos
phere system comes back to
equilibrium, the concentration
of carbon dioxide in the air
will be 10 times greater than
it is today and the earth will
be 22 degrees warmer. In an
other few thousand years,
when the carbonate content
of the oceans has reached
equilibrium, the concentration
will still be four times greater
than at present and the earth's
temperature will then fall to
about 12.5 degrees above its
present average."
' What effect will this change
have on the environment? For
one thing, palms will again
flourish near the Arctic Circle
and the oceans will become
slightly more acid, according
to Dr. Plass, although the in
crease should not greatly af
fect marine life. Man, how
ever,- may wake up to dis
cover that he has upset the
"comfort index" of his clim
ate. Dr. Plass acknowledges
that the case for the carbon
dioxide theory has not yet
been proved. "We shall be
able to test the theory quite
conclusively, however, during
the next half-century," he ex
plains. "Since we can now
measure the sun's energy out
put independent of the dis
torting influence of the atmos
phere, we shall see whether'
the earth s temperature trend
follows the rise an man's pro
duction of carbon dioxide."-

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
Where There's Corn
There's the Corn Borer
When-the wind dies out,j
the sabre-like leaves of the
corn plants cease their dry
rustlings. Silence, profound
and absolute, settles over the
cornfield. The mysterious
chemical workings of growth,
activated by warmth, mois
ture and favorable soil ele
ments, is a silent process. But
hour by hour the stalks and
leaves extend themselves. Tis
sues swell . . . the corn plant
grows.
- Nearly as silent as the
growth of the corn plant itself,
and within its stalks of, de
veloping "ears," may be the
ugly, dark-headed worm
called' the European corn
borer, eating its way through
the plant tissues, moving
lengthwise through the ear,
destroying or soiling the
kernals.
It is a small, naked worm,
larvae of a somber colored
moth, one of the most destruc
tive pests the U.S. has ever
sheltered. It is an invader
from overseas and sneaked in
when no one was looking, es
tablished itself, and extended
its range.
In Broomcorn
It was an unfortunate and
terribly expensive bunch of
broomcorn that arrived at an
eastern American seaport just
before the starting -of World
War I, from Europe. To all
outward appearances it was
just another shipment of
broomcorn, imported from the
later manufacture of brooms
the American housewife
would use to brush dirt from
her living room rug.
But sleeping peacefully and
comfortably somewhere with
in the dry stalks was the van
guard of what was to become
a hungry, gnawing horde of
invaders that now number
into the hundreds of millions
Somewhere around 1917,
near Boston, someone noticed
the tassels of the corn plant
droop disconsolately. Later
the tassels fell, and the plant
seemed to lose its enthusiasm
to grow. Still later, worms
were found in the ears of the
corn plant. Someone made the
understatement of all time
when he remarked "There's a
worm in the corn."
Today, less than half a cen
tury since the first American
ear of corn was soiled the
housewife preparing "sweet
corn" for her table is surprised
to find even a few ears that
have NOT been damaged by
the corn borer. l
During the 40-odd years -of
its residency in the U.S. the
corn borer has successfully in
vaded just about every corn
growing area. For several
vears' by extreme and expen
sive vigilance, road-blocks,
Quarantines and arresting
measures not withstanding,
the pest continued to expand
its range.
The little brown moth
sneaked past the road blocks,
crossed rivers, lakes and
plains, and arrived at the
Great Lakes. Resting there a
while on the great waters, it
rose in the air and flew on, as
if knowing that- the "land of
glorious opportunity" was just
ahead and westward.
The invaders had arrived in
the Corn Belt. Other van
guards, avoiding the crowds
moving west, infiltrated south
ward, and arrived again at
the edge of the great waters.
They stopped at the edge of
the gulf, undaunted and un
invited. Other contingents
moved north a n y w h e r e,
everywhere where the corn
plant grows.
Silently sleeping, unmindful
of cold, snow or chilling sleet
in northern fields where cold
winter winds whistle through
the dead, dry, standing stalks
of last year's corn, from which
the ears were picked, are the
invaders," waiting for the
warmth of spring and the con
quest of next summer's corn
field.
