(UPI Telephoto) Female Earthling Tries Moonsuit; Makes Report By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International Farmingdale, N.Y.-fflPD-On behalf of females from coast to coast, this earthling had a lunar experience the other day. I proved that the nation's first moonsuit designed for males suits females just fine. . To prove the point, I gained permission to be the first woman to gain admittance to the 120-pound clanking moon suit designed by Edward Pearman, of Republic Avia tlon company. That's right. Gain admit tance. The suit is one two pMece costume you enter lower half first. To enter the lower-half, a contraption looking like an old-fashioned round washer with fat legs, I had to climb a stepladdcr to gain altitude needed to leap feet first into the thing. ;When you leap from the stepladder you must aim the feet into huge rubbery com partments for legs, wiggling toes to worm your way in. While doing this, the skirt rises slightly fore and aft. But Its not embarrassing. The tub part of the moonsuit covering the legs and lower torso is opaque. You can't see through it and neither can anyone else. Male Help Needed From that point on, this female learned, male help's needed to get completely suited-lunar fashion. The up- . TTX 'HI K P.

I was moon-stuck until they freed me. The 120-pound creation Is like a round telephone booth. Only it has plumbing, air con ditioning, . a communication system and other domestic comforts built in. You can sleep in It. To some extent, it looks like the inside of a furnace that hasn't been used yet. Two pipes inside lead to pluccs for the lunarnaul's arms. The elbows flex and the hands can move. But the shoulders can't move much. You hoist yourself onto the seat by pulling on two han dles inside the capsule's lid While doing this, you wiggle your legs like two snakes until they exit from the leg compartments. Once the feet are free, you rest them on a foot-rest and you're in ready- position coiled for a quick nap Before 'drawing up your legs, you press a button that extends metal legs three to support the suit. The pilot model of the moon suit for men is called RAC X 60. While a woman can get along alone inside it, from the outside there's no way of telling whether it's male or female inside Carries Moon Pick While lumbering about in the suit I urged Pearman to allow me to carry my purse, so folks would know a wom an's about. He vetoed the idea saying my purse wasn't moonworthy. Instead I was handed a moon pick and a box of lunar instruments. From the chin up, I showed. But my earrings Identified me as a female. Pearman .said a lot of wrinkles must be worked out of this pioneer version of the moonsuit. For one thing, It must be Insulated to allow protection for heat ranging dents of Hufman hall.

The word has been in the political news a lot lately, 'both nationally because of the presidential candidates, and because Oregon candidates have taken up the. idea. So Potpourri consulted the old Funk and Wagnals dictionary which has served the house- nom tor years and years. Here is what it says: To discuss argumentatively; argue; dispute; to consider; reflect; to fight or contend for; (these are the verb meanings). As a noun, the word means the discussing of any question; argumentation; dispute; contro versy, v . Our newer Webster's Collegiate goes' into the matter a bit deeper. The archaic meaning of debate, says Webster, was "to engage in strife or combat." The contemporary meanings given are "To dispute; hence to discuss or examine a question by considering arguments on both sides." As a noun, Webster says a debate is "A regulated discussion of a given proposition between two matched sides as a test of forensic ability." This bears out what we had begun to think that when one candidate says "debate" he means one thing, and another candidate has something else in mind. Our idea of debate goes back to hich school and colleee davs when a debate was a formal argument ea unaer more or less rigid rules with a main argument, time for rebuttal and all that sort of thing. But if a debate is merely a "dispute" then Pappy and Potpourri would be "debating" when we exchange words in an effort to decide whether we'll have fish or liver for dinner, or whether we'll transplant a certain shrub or just throw it away. And most of these "debates" end just Jike those between the candidates neither .of us convinces the other and each just goes ahead and does what he would have done if the argument had never been held. You've heard of the house that Jack built? Well. If cnn. ditions don't improve, Pappy in tne nouse tnat tne woodpeckers destroyed. In spite of a continuous battle on the part of the householders, the wood peckers seem to be gaining ground. Yesterday we discovered several new holes in the shakes, and a number of times during the day sallied out away. Last Wednesday we forgot enjoyed watching the cedar waxwmgs. When these beautiful birds, along with others we were never able to identify, began to feast on the ripe Oregon grapes, Potpourri hurried to the phone and called up the Rev. Thomas McCamant. It was the first time we could wings close enough to be able to note the crest, and the yellow band on the end of their tails. Potpourri must be one of scores' of bird watchers who call the Rev. Mr. Mc Camant for bird information. If our descriptions are detailed enough, he can almost always for which we are grateful. . If people watch birds, what's to keep birds from watch ing people? According to the Christian Science Monitor, the curator of birds at the University of Michigan has come to the solemn conclusion that bird society has its people watch ers." A Monitor editorial writer continued in this vein: . We have a friend whose conclude, furthermore, that birds of a similar feather a careful study of what It Is Herewith, his report: ' "In the winter, people-flyers generally move South for their annual convention. While there they report on the migratory habits of humans. They have found some species, notably the Pouter-Chested Banker and Full-Throated Bro ker, that move instinctively to the Palm Beach area, where others with nest eggs also congregate. "Among the lesser shore birds similar habits prevail The Minor Secretary or Crested Clerk often migrates- to Bermuda or Miami, hoping to find a partner with whom to spoon, bill, and coo. A profusion of Spotlighted Warblers find winter nests in night clubs.' Whitesox Flycatchers, Out field Eallhawks, and Oriole Baserunners move south later in the season. The Ermine-Backed Dowagers' and Greenback Bill Collectors avoid crowds by flying direct to more remote Caribbean isles. "Come spring, most of the people watchers return to their jobs and homes in the North. As the days grow longer their early morning people-flying societies swing into action. For it Is then and In summer that the number of identi fiable human species is at its greatest and the amateur homo thologist can observe the most varied activity. "Recently I heard one alert robin report having seen a Madras-Shorted Lawn Mower, a White-Throated Cider Swallow, a Downey-Headed dance of the Teen-Age Toe-Heel, a Weary-Eyed Hammock Hanger, and a Loud-Honking Traffic Jam all in one day. Our friend concludes sadly that In ten years of bird watching he has never had such a bag." O.S. FABRIC FINDS! At Medford Yardage Center 410 East Main, near Bridge Ph.
