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-

per part, a heavy capsule
with windows all around and
a pack of instruments bolted
to the back, had to be lifted
Into place
The helpful males ' then
clamped the thing into place
and I was left alone to ex
plore the suit's Interior. 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

Just "what is a debate, anyway? 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.
