This question, addressed to the far reaches of outer space, has long intrigued mankind. . '.We .may be getting an affirmative answer one of these days; then again, we may not.. But there is sufficient scientific interest in such a possibility, and it is regarded with enough scientific seriousness, that an organized attempt is being made to see if evidence can be obtained that there are intelligent beings elsewhere in the vastness of space. A STORY in this paper the other day described the attempt, under the fanciful name of Project Ozma (named after the city of Oz). It is using powerful radio receivers to scan the heavens, searching for radio emissions evidenc ing intelligence, in two localities adjudged as likely prospects for the development of planets which might bear life. ' How were they selected? An article in the current issue of Scientific American describes the that the number of solar systems where livable planets could occur is limited by the develop ment and type of the stars or "suns." jylODERN astronomical "star goes through a follows : 1. Condensation of dust and eases into a star system, a process which million years. 2. The "main sequence" of the system's life, after gravitational forces furnaces, and the system approximately 8 billion years, the longest ot any of the periods of the cycle. 3. Expansion into the "red giant" stage, when 4. It destroys the inner planets first, then the outlying ones (with some 100 million years). 5. A period ot pulsation every few hours, followed by 6. An explosion into a "nova," and, finally, 7. Collapse into a "white dwarf" star, with out light or heat. FOR a sun to support livable planets, the "main BorinoMrto" ef V n enn'o flviafanna mil of la of ong enough for life to evolve. Also, the star must be large enough to throw out enough light and heat to provide a "ther mally habitable" zone, but not too large, for larger stars are less stable And planets must, occur in the thermally habitable zone that is, close enough to the star to be warmed, but not so close that the sun s heat would prevent development of life. In our own solar system, for instance, the "thermally habitable zone" includes the areas from just inside the orbit of Venus to just out side the orbit of Mars. Thus Mercury (too close) and the planets from Jupiter outward (too far) cannot support life at least as we can conceive of it THE stars picked for the National Science UViiirii1of ivn'o Pvnintf iOttyi q ova 'Tan Hofi anrl Epsilon Eridani, each some 11 light years away. (A light year is a measure of distance, not time; it is the distance traveled in one year at a speed of lob.OOO miles per second. The lact that it confuses people is evidenced by the United Press International story about Project Ozma, which translated 11 light years into 66 million miles a mere whoop and holler at interstellar distances.) If Project Ozma picks up evidence of intelli- f;ent life in those areas, it will be a major event, f not, it will prove nothing more than the fact that there's still lots to leam about the universe and about the billions of other stars and sys tems which, conceivably, we know it" E.

This year is no exception and the students have already put the bees to shame with "be hind the scenes busy work." The Canoe Fete is a student- produced water fete held an nually at the traditional and picturesque site on the old Millrace. This year there will be 12 floats depicting the ever-delightful theme of chil dren's stories. The theme Once Upon a Time . . ." has been divided into different categories including Mother Goose, fairy Tales, Children s Poetry, Fantasy, Adventure Stories, Fables, Animal Stories, Classics, and Legends. Oregon's Canoe Fete, as far as we know, is the largest student-sponsored water fete In the country, and iU pro duction necessitates the care ful selection of competent chairmen. We are very fortun ate in having the capable lead ership of Bill Foote who will handle the staging and props this year. In this position, Bill will be in charge of the technicalities which make the fete so successful. With his help, the 1960 Canoe Fete promises to be the most im aginative and entertaining yet. We are sure that the people of your community will be interested in Bill's achieve ment, and all are cordially Invited to attend the Canoe Fete, May 13, and see the pro duct of his participation.

Successful Man To the Editor: I once read of an undertaking at the turn of the century when a young editor with an idea plus busi ness acumen branched out Into a business venture, ac cording in his own words, wiUi a ten dollar Investment and fnith In the future. In a small way he started out to publish a modern sprightly monthly 24 page magazine named "The Win ner." His method of adding new subscriptions was most unique but successful. Advertising paid off right from the start, as each subscriber was sup plied with 20 order blanks at 10 cents each. When the 20 subscription blanks were all turned In to the publisher with both the money and sender's names the original persons who passed the blanks out to their friends, had the choice of receiving a gold filled watch for men or wom en. The new enterprise flour ished right from the start. This ambitious editor's ideas de veloped into a new six atory building, eventually surround ed by a new Industrial center named University City. He was also the developer ot the community club houses, now so prevalent throughout every state From a rather eventful ca reer this gifted person of many talents planned one of the first model cities in the state of California. At the height of his enterprises, It was often remarked that his stupendous ambitions were called fantastic, but like all other modern aRe enterprises that have survived from humble beginning, this un usual man made use of his power of ability. Hi was rightly called a salesman, the Menace lVP THAT COULD not necessarily represent the contrary is often the case. product of his thinking mind bore fruit. One of his out standing traits was his amaz ing .undefeatable victory of an untiring soul to leave a heritage to future generations, though his name may long remain obscure. The name of this genius was Edward G. Lewis, of many interests who discover ed and made use of seeming ly unseen opportunities to forge ahead. In other words, he was a pioneer in one of the steps of progress that the former Teddy Roosevelt once said, like the proverbial clock, "one cannot turn the wheels of progress backwards." Bert Kissinger, S20 Boardman st., Medford, Ore. Guida-Post? To the Editor: The tattered old flag is out front at half- mast in memory of a great humanitarian, Abraham Lin coin, who gave his life 95 years ago that the Union of the States be preserved and that all men be made free. All this he vowed he would do if necessary. He also proclaimed for the equal but separate so cial status of the white and black races here. This appears to stem from statements made by Lincoln, a southerner who held that slavery was wrong, the debate with Judge Douglas, a northerner who held that slavery was right and proper. Lincoln reminded Douglas and the people at large, that U. S. Government back in 1770 had warned the slave-ship runners and their allies, the leaders of the black tribes of Africa, who herded their unwanted kith and kin to the beach-heads for ship ment into slavery, that such practices must stop. In 1808, U. S. fast sailing gun-boats were sent out to enforce the stopping of slave-running. But leaders of Africa's black tribes continued to sell their undesirables and general unwanted into middle-east slavery; as they had been do ing before the U.S.A. was thought of. The use of blacks as slaves continued here until a Supreme Court In the Dred Scott decision of 1852, declar ing that though a slave should gain sanctuary In free terri tory, said slave is still subject and returnable to his rightful owner, and was the law of-the- land. But people of northern U.S.A. rejected it as being the iaw-oi-tne-iand, with many people of the south in sympa thy. It took a war claiming lives of thousands of brave men, suffering, sorrow and tears and millions of dollars, to show that the Supreme Court had erred, had violated the will of the people. All this is a matter of re corded history, that no emo tional pressures can alter. It could be and should be serv. ing as guide-post in racial is sues burgeoning all over this troubled world. Christ did choose to die on the cross In defense ot his faith and teach ings for the salvation of man kind and the sovereignty of the individual no matter how humble. Abraham Lincoln did defy the assassin's bullet and died that the Union of the states be preserved and that all men shall be free. Cm mortal man do more? F. J. Clifford.

The quotei The principle that no nation should at tempt to impose its pattern of living on others ... is not accepted by one of the greatest and most tremen dously armed powers in the history of mankind." This was a remarkable man speaking. Just now approaching his 54th birthday, he twice has been presi dent of Colom b 1 a. He Is credited with being the chief author of the anti- war dec laration of principles in the 1947 Trea ty of Rio de end Nrwiom Janeiro in which the American states linked for mutual defense. The anti-war declaration la ter was copied almost word minister named Palmer. This, of course, originated when pilgrims, returning from the Holy Land, begging almscar ried a bit of palm as evidence of their having been to Jeru salem. 'Tis not always thus holy that palm trees are used. Our word "toddy", (as in "hot toddy" for an antidote for winter cold), is from the Hin dustani name of the toddy palm. It yields a sugary sap, like our maple syrup. Fer mented, it is almost as power ful as Mexico's tequila. Toddy sugar cakes look much like those of maple sugar. When we were In Hin dustan, trying to lessen child labor via the American-type playground, part of our stud ies of native psychology were in an area with no roads, only elephant paths. A friendly rajah loaned us one of his. At one point, that elephant always became as stubborn as "Missouri elec tricity," as we used to call mules. He would not move past a certain roadside hut until we bought him his ra tion of toddy sugar cakes. The Orient's palms, indeed, long have had place in our Christianity. C. M.

She's Mad To the Editor: I'd like to help repair the damage done by the public In this column. Why do you people so quickly condemn anyone or anything without getting the facts, which In a word means - you don't know a whit about It.

I could write for hours on the perfection of care, but suffice to say my life was spared by constant attention of the whole staff and by the grace of God. And do not forget that the Nuns are not paid wages for their labor, but are re warded in heaven, which is then a labor of love, is it not? The same is true of the wonderful nurses and doctors, with the exception of salary, which unfortunately is too small in return for lives saved by them. But just let one little hu man mistake be made and then listen to yells of "quacks, incompetance, etc." Why can you not make pub lic therefore any praise of Sacred Heart or any hospital as readily as you condemn it? It is a policy of any hospital to pay some on entering and leaving. But if each patient would pay as much as possible each month, then hospitals wouldn't be in the red. And honest people must pay higher bills for those that will not pay. Hospitals can't take a life back for lack of payment, such as a finance company. Now - you people think that over wll! Bv 1964. we will be out of debt to the hospital material ly - but never spiritually. You compare your hundreds of dollars to our thousands and consider yourself lucky.

Phillips 813 West 13th St. Medford In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS As everyone who reads or listens to the news is aware, Russia's Mr. K. has recently been beating the drum for disarmament. Why? There are two theories: 1. He is trying to trap us into throwing our guns away so that he can hit us hard with hidden-out Russian weapons . 2. He is GETTING SCARED of the Russian people -who MAY be getting tired of doing without the good things of the good life that people in West era Europe and the United States are enjoying. Modern houses. Automobiles. Plenty of food. Gadgets that lighten labor. Vacations. Travel. En tertainment for the masses. And so on. WHAT of theory No. 1? " Well, it was nut ahnnt nc well as It can be put by Vir gil, who lived and wrote some two thousand years ago, wnen in nis Aeneid he sa d "I fear the Greeks, even when they come bearing gifts." He was referring to the legend oi tne Trojan horse, with which every high school stu dent SHOULD be familiar, Tor the benefit of those who have been so unfortunate as to neglect the classics it may be well to explain here mat back in the mists of an. tiquity when the Greeks were besieging Troy they EM PLOYED A STRATEGEM They suddenly pulled stakes ana leit, leaving behind them an Intriguing wooden horse, presumably as a gift, lhe too trusting Trojans pulled the horse within their gates. It was filled with Greek war riors who that night came out and opened the gates of Troy and the Greek army came back in the darkness and poured through the opened gates and put the Trojans to the sword. IVHAT of theory No. 2? " It Just could be that the Russians are getting tired of doing without things and want to be like other people in the modern world. Mr. K may sense this feeling among the people of the Soviet Union. It may frighten him. If so, It's all to the good. When the despots get afraid of the peo ple, it's a good sign.

Lleras has had his share of dictatorships and violence. He helped to overthrow the Colombian dictatorship of the Rojas Pinilla regime and he has survived assassination at tempts. He was one of the engineers Washington Report By WILLIAM PIGHT DAMAGE Washington -The Kennedy Humphrey rivalry for the Democratic presidential nomi nation is ae scending into genuine bad feeling. The two aspirants toil over the scraggly hills of West Vir ginia in search not so much of votes as of propag a n d a advaatage. Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts refused dur ing the primary contest in Wisconsin to use what he called "personal attacks." But now Kennedy, for whom the great prize seems in near grasp, has sent a warning to Humphrey. "No more monkey busi ness, Kennedy has saia in substance, "or I, too, will take off the gloves. Humphrey through his own people has retorted in effect: "Go ahead and take them off. Our cam paign will go on as before." Indications thus mount that West Virginia may leave wounds within the Democratic party which will not readily heal. FOR the Democrats there is a somber flttingness in the fact that the "beauty contest" primary in this little, unim portant border state carries such inherent dangers. Often before in history the border states, standing uneasily be twixt north and south, have been politically "the dark and bloody ground," as Ken tucky was called during the civil war. There is irony, too. West Virginia's primary election of May 10 will blind no delegate to any candidate. It is strictly a "popularity contest." And when it Is all over West Vir ginia's handful of national convention votes - 25 out of a total of 1,521 - will still be in the exclusive control of the men who control them now, the state's Democratic leaders. Whoever "wins" as between Kennedy and Humphrey will win mostly in the headlines West Virginia's actual ballots at the convention probably will be thrown to neither but more likely to Senator Lyn don B. Johnson of Texas or Senator Stuart Symington of Missouri. A LL the same, the view now "Is almost unanimous that Kennedy must win this un necessary propaganda war. West Virginia is a profoundly Protestant state, having a Catholic population of less than five per cent. Kennedy 1 -hjtf m, Wimam 8.

Lleras took office after 10 years of chaos which had all but destroyed law and order in the country of 13 million people and in which armies of bandits ruled thousands of square miles in defiance of the government. Today, the anarchy is dis appearing, roads are being built with government help. When Lleras took office, the nation's gold reserves were at an all-time low and foreign and commercial debt stood at a record-breaking 480 million dollars. Today the commercial debt is down to 60 million dollars. S. WHITE badly needs a "victory" as a reply to the widely aaver. tised fact that he got heavy Catholic suport in Wisconsin. For Humphrey It is even more plainly an unnecessary war. It is perfectly clear, even to some of his own support ers, that even if he should win the West Virginia quasi-con-test he is not really going any. where. The Kennedy people thus see his continued candidacy as a wrecking operation which couldn t possibly do Humph rey much good but could do Kennedy much harm. The Humphrey people, on their side, resent the implica tion that their man should simply quit like a good little boy. He has his own prestige to think of. For his minimum necessity is to retain his sen ate seat, which Is up this year. When his presidential ambi tions have finally collapsed he must hurry home to Min nesota to run for re-election to the Senate. IT IS this new factor, and not so much any Wiscon sin hangover, that really em broils the two sets of parti, sans. The truth is that Wis consin produced no unfor givable act on either side. Kennedy supporters did noth ing approaching a smear op eration - except perhaps for attempts to tie Humphrey in with Jimmy Hoffa, the malo dorous labor leader. Humphrey supporters did nothing approaching a smear operation - except possibly for attempts to connect Ken nedy with "Texas oil money." Nobody on the inside of this campaign really believes Ken n e d y improperly solicited Catholic backing in Wiscon sin. Nobody really belives Humphrey made the slightest effort to trade on antl-Catho-Ucism. All the same, the so called "Catholic issue" is on many tongues in West Vir ginia today. This, most of all, is why West Virginia might be called today another "dark and bloody ground." (Copyright, 1960, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
