Idrth, Planets Said Ashes of Stars Which Died Billions of Years Ago r. 9 L.3 -TV? 4 iS'ifX y v v-i ."! V-,, -tf A-itVt .' '"mm m y I ''v.' i 55 Washington -A!n- The earth -jnd her tister planeti are the I ashes of red giant atari which died violently billions of yeara ago. The lun, also born of the dust of dead red giants, will become a red giant itself in T another 10 billion years, and nit, too, will some day contri bute its substance to the cre mation of new stellar systems. .. This picture of continuous birth and death of stars was presented In a symposium at the annual meeting here this week of the National Acad emy of Sciences. A key, paper, read at the symposium was written by Dr. William A. Fowler of the Cal ifornia Institute of Technol ogy on "neutron reactions In red giants and super novae." Dr. Hans A. Bethe of Cornell, who briefed newsmen on. it, call the theory developed by Fowler "a tremendous achievement" In theoretical ;physics. ' Bethe said it provided a scientifically satisfying ex planation of how the various chemical elements were cre ated out of hydrogen, the pri mordeal building material of the universe. When stars reach the stage In their lives when they be come red giants, they have 'only about 100 million years ' of life left. From birth to death stars manufacture chemical elements by means of nuclear processes. First they put nuclei of hydrogen together to form helium. Then as their insides grow hotter, they form heav , ier elements by using helium " nuclei as building blocks, stops at iron, number 26 in stops at iron, unmber 26 in the table of elements. But there comes a time In the hearts of red giants when the temperature reaches some , ting on the order of five mil ' lion degrees. Then iron is broken down into helium nu clei and nuetrons, subnucle&r particles carrying no electri cal charge. Iron and other elements In the cooler parts of the star ; capture neutrons in successive ' steps and build up Into ever . heavier elements. This pro cess may be slow, taking on ' the order of 100,000 years, or fast, lasting no mora than a .. minute. In the slow process the red y v nr. i i if V'tii i't'-e a.eta. t fo, .. , a t I I I SCSl e C 58 a - I ; (MM MINNEAPOLIS CLEANED UP Where staggering drunks once littered the side walks with cigar butts and empty bottles, a new atmosphere is being created in Min neapolis' Lower Loop. Skyscrapers and massive civic buildings are replacing the dingy bars and cheap rooms that made the lower end of the business district a hangout for transients and a breeding place for crime.

(UPI Telephoto) giant is constantly losing mat ter to space in a fashion sim ilar to the sun's emission of hydrogen gas but on a larger scale. .The fast process, which complements the slower one, occurs when stars collapse and explode, becoming super nova is equivalent in energy release to the explosion of a number of H-bombs which can only be expressed by the digit one followed by 30 zeroes. Scientists estimate that a sup ernova explosion occurs once every 400 or SOO years in every galaxy. A red giant may be as big as the entire solar system and weigh three or four times as much as the sun. In a matter of minutes, when its time has come, it can collapse to a frac tion of its size. In the resulting explosion most of Its matter, including the heavy elements it has made as well as leftover hy drogen and helium, is distri buted through the galaxy. It is out of the debris of red giants, whether given off slowly or explosively, that new stars are formed and ex- sitlng stars fed. Existing heavy elements above iron on earth, where the list ends with uranium, the 92nd element proves the planet's matter came from ancient stars which gave up the ghost billions of years ago. In another 10 billion years, according to the theory, the sun will be going into its red giant phase. Earth s oceans will evaporate. In another hundred thousand years or so earth and the other planets and most of . the sun will be resolved again into the stuff of stars yet to be born.

Minneapolis fUPD Where staggering drunks once lit tered the sidewalk! with cigar butts and empty bottles, a new atmosphere is being cre ated in Minneapolis' Lower Loop. Skyscrapers and massive civic buildings are replacing the dingy bars and cheap rooms that made the lower end of the business district a hangout for transients and a breeding place for crime. The old Bridge Square dis trict is where Minneapolis be gan. But until a few months ago it was the decaying heart of Minnesota's largest city. Now the shabby buildings are coming down. In their place are rising structures like the new S8 million public library and a $8 million fed eral courts building. For the first time in more than a century, land in the Lower Loop is up for public sale. Most of its present own ers won't be back. The pawn shops and used clothing out lets, the bars and the flop houses - if they reopen at all - will have to set up shop in a new location. Change Accomplished And the money pouring into the Lower Loop is ac complishing a change even more dramatic than that which saw an enterprising Daffy Dills The Daffy Dills visited the Hanley ranch Saturday, re cently and Miss Claire Han ley showed us around. We liked the magnolias, trilliums, daphnes, primroses and cle matis, and the springhouse and the 100 year old trees. We saw the greenhouse in which orchids, carnations, ger aniums and a lemon tree were growing. Before the trip to Hanley land, we went to the Crater Flower Show where Elaine, Pattl, Cheryl and James had entries. James Anhorn, Reporter. Central Point Forestry Club Members of the Central Point Forestry 4-H club met at the home of Mrs. Skyr- man In Central Point Sunday. Members went on a field trip to the forest. A contest was held to see who could exhibit the most tree specimens. We collected specimens for our press hooks. Everyone brought his own lunch. Pat Burcha, Reporter Table Rock 8tltchtrt Members of the Table Rock Stitchers 4-H club held an Easter party for younger brothers and sisters. The par ty was held at the home of Mrs. Frank Myers, Saturday, April 16. Games uere played and there was an Easter Peg hunt. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Frank Myers May 7.

Grange Notes Jackson County Grange The April meeting of rep resentatives of the Jackson County Grange Festival was held recently at Griffin Creek with the Griffin Creek Grang ers as hosts. All but two coun ty Granges were represented. Reports from chairman on music, grounds, contests, games, . tableaus and corres pondence were given. Enter tainment is planned by the music committee headed by Mrs. James Edge and the Bob Bitterlings; Mrs. Dee Hend rickson, tableau chairman, said she will be aided by the State-Grange Chaplain with her tableaus; C. C. Moore- house reported the Elks Picnic grounds as ample, and sug gested those wishing seating conveniences take folding chairs or other equipment, and table service. The game committee, with Alva Walker chairman, Is lin ing up games and will accept suggestions. Of Interest will be a old fiddlers contest, con testants should consult the games committee. Victor Croxton, state Grange lecturer, and chair man of the affair, was asked to invite Josephine County Grangers and their friends. Dee Hendrickson reported the tickets for the barbecue were out and distributed among Granges. The age limit for children was decided upon as 3 to 13 years inclusive. Judges chosen for the skit contests will be selected im partially from outside county members present. The next meeting will be at Gold Hill May 9. Ladies bring sandwiches. Gold Hill Gold Hill Grange held a candidates night April 14 so that members would know the candidates better and so "can didates could know each oth er better." Coffee and cookies were served. Two Grange candidates from Gold Hill, Betty Ladd and Frank Mapes, were taken to Roxy Ann Grange April IS to receive their third and fourth degrees. Attending from Gold Hill were Alva Walker, master: Icie Walker, lecturer; Mr. and Mrs. Wilber Martin. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Knipper and Ruby Quaken bujii. At the regular meeting April 21 Victor Croxton, state lecturer, and Mrs. Croxton visited, and Croxton spoke concernins Grange principles. Veril Ladd received the first and second degrees. Committee reports indicated beef prices are expected to be down soon, hoes are up. hay and grain are about the same. Weather reportedly has done a large amount of damage to the fruit crop. Willard Taylor of the youth committee reported dial he at tended a youth meeting as Grange representative Anoth er youth meeting Is scheduled for April 23 at Hanhy school and anyone interested will be welcome. Blanch Mrrriman and Lucy Edington will be chairman of the next serving committee for the Lions club. The Gold Hill Grange will visit Eagle Point Grange May 2. Members wishing to attend are to call Master Walker for transportation arrangements. man named John Stevens create this city out of nothing in 1849. Stevens picked out a 160 acre plot on the west bank of the Mississippi, laid out streets that still remain, and he had what was to become Minneapolis. When the railroads moved in, Minneapolis became a center for flour milling and retail trade. But that has changed too. Much of recent department store expansion has been concentrated in out lying areas - such as South dale, a 167-acre, multi-million dollar suburban center.- While names like Pillsbury and General Mills remain, the city has lost it milling lead ership. Instead it now boasts of a rapidly-expanding elec tronics industry and produc tion for the space age. Firms here turn 'out every thing from the world's largest bal loons, used in forays high into the atmosphere, to a cabin simulating conditions in outer space, in order to prepare man for what lies beyond. A total of $69 million is scheduled to go into down town buildings this year. And a good share of it will be spent in the Lower Loop. Hotel Planned Construction will begin in 1961 on an $8 million hotel, likely to be the showplace of the area. A state employ ment building has already been completed, as has a $2 million Public Health Center. The gleaming new build ings are far different from those they replaced. A City Planning Commission survey estimated that 77 per cent of the old buildings were built before 1895; 70 per cent had no major repair since 1920; 88 per cent were not fire proof. About one-quarter of the land in the project has been acquired by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority; the rest is under condemnation. It is not only in the Lower Loop that new buildings are going up. A few blocks away, the First National Bank Building, just finished at a cost of $15 million rises 28 floors from the street. . The Radisson Hotel has a $4 million expansion program underway. In the planning stage is a $20 million down town office "package," which includes an 80-foot glass and plastic dome over one street intersection. Cramped in its location east of the Mississippi, the Uni versity of Minnesota is put ting $100 million into west bank expansion. Another $42 million is be ing spent at Wold-Chamberlain airport. One of the Largest In the residential section, the Glenwood Redevelopment Project is almost finished. It has 180 acres and is one of the largest in the country. Last year, Minneapolis Mayor P. Kenneth Peterson won re-election after cam paigning with the theme "Minneapolis on the move." Upward and outward, the city is livi .f, - and growing -proof ti those words. United States Regains Prestige In Space Effort Washington -WPD- George V. Allen, head of the U.S. In formation Agency, says the United States has regained a great deal of world prestige through Its recent space suc cesses. Allen told the House space committee three months ago that Russia had gained in world opinion because of its space work but in this latest statement he said it is "quite a different story" today. "That doesn't mean to say that Russia doesn't still hold a lot of prestige," he said, "but people are coming to realize more and more, for example, that the only earth satellites that are revolving around the earth today are American." Allen said there are five 6. MAIL TRIBUNt, M.dtore, Or. Thursday, April 21, lftO U.S. Satellites in space now, one of them 6 million miles away and still . broadcasting back to earth. He made the remarks in an interview with Rep. Harold C. Ostertag iR.N.Y.), on a pro gram filed for New York Tele vision stations. Ostertag asked Allen what his agency was doing "to meet the rapidly changing condi tions In Africa." "Well," Allen replied. "I'm sorry to admit that we're not meeting It, because they are so demanding. There are so many of them, we just don't have the personnel and the money." He also reported that hii recent tKp to the Far East showed the attitude toward the United States has im proved over a year ago.
