Moon May Life Elsewhere in Um Corvallis - njpn - A Nobel Laureate scientist said Tues day night that the moon, as a sort of cold storage reposi tory for biological molecules, may furnish clues to life else where in the universe. Dr. Melvin Calvin said that new laboratory experi ments bolster the idea that life, possibly in higher form than that on Earth, may exist in many other places. Probes to the Moon, he sug gested, hold the promise of information that might not be available otherwise. He said the Moon; in its sweep through space during billions s'.-i:?

Race to Moon The theory held particular interest against the back ground of the current Ameri can - Soviet "race to the Moon." Calvin is' director of the bio-organic group in the Uni versity of California's Law rence Radiation laboratory. His remarks were in a key note speech at the American Institute of Biological Sci ences convention here. ' Experiments, he said, re inforce the theory that some two or three billion years ago natural energy sources on Earth created molecules of growing complexity, even tually resulting in a form that could duplicate itself in hereditary fashion. Life Likely Elsewhere Because conditions similar to those on earth probably prevailed elsewhere in the universe, Calvin said, he be lieves that forms of life exist elsewhere. Some forms may be inferior and some superi or to those on earth, he said. He said evidence seems strong that some life, possibly plants, exist on Mars. He said no conclusions could be reach ed about Venus. "Many of-us." he said, "will undoubtedly have unequivo cal answers ... about a(T three 6 free drinks per carton R(3 SAME PRICE AS KING SIZE extra drink in every bottle SWITCH TO RC HALF QUARTS (5 CCS Tribune nverse of our nearest celestial neigh bors Mars, Venus and the Moon certainly within the next ' decade and possibly much sooner," he said. OthervSyslemi Speaking of possible life in other galactic systems Calvin said: "We are led to the conclu sion that there must exist else where in the universe not one but many terrestrial type planets upon which . . . will have evolved living systems of a kind that we would rec ognize as such. "Given the time scale of five to 10 billion years, it is clear that some of these liv ing communities may have ex isted much longer than the one on earth. "Some of these other plan etary systems may be inhab ited by organisms far more skillful and knowledgeable than we." Phytopathological Society Names Head Corvallis, Ore. - (ITU Dr. C. S.

' Half Quarts Religion in America Episcopal Rector Urges Calm Planning for Funeral Service UPI Correipondenl What kind of funeral do you want? That may strike you as a macabre question. But to the Rev. Ernest D. Vanderburgh, an Episcopal rector of Prov incetown, Mass., it's a ques tion that Christians should be prepared to answer calmly and matler-of-factly. Since it's a safe bet that you're going to have a funeral of some kind, some day, the Rev. Mr. Van derburgh reasons, you might as well help to plan it-at least to the extent of sparing your survivors from some of the costly and un-Christian things they're likely to do with your corpse uiiIcfs you have made your wishes clear. In the current issue of Ihe Episcopalian magazine, t h e Rev. Mr. Vanderburgh offers a letter that a Christian might leave for his survivors, to head off some of the "pain ful practices and spiritual out rages" which have become conventional in modern funer als. Addressed to "my dear har assed, beloved survivors,'' it gives instructions for a simple, Christian burial. "The first thing to do," it says, "is to call the clergyman, not the funeral director. Nev er mind if it is the middle of the night; never mind if you haven't been to church lately; never mind what the circum stances are. Call the, clergy man. He will be the one most competent to make the ar rangements and make things easier for you. Show htm this letter and have him take over. "I want my funeral to be in a church. I mean a real church, not a 'funeral chapel' or "funeral church.' I belong lo the church so my funeral ought to be in the church. Also, I think you will find it more helpful and satisfactory that way, although you may find this hard to see before hand. "For the service, ask the minister to use simply the book of Common Prayer. No sermon, no eulogy, no 'special' poetry, no 'special' prayers. They would only lengthen the funeral and make it a burden. A eulogy would mean telling white lies at a time that par ticularly calls for absolute truth. "And no solos, please ... if you want choir or instrumen tal music, fine. But don't let others talk you into it. "No flowers in the church, please, except on the altar. There they proclaim ressur- rection. Elsewhere in the church, , at a funeral, they would seem to me lo indicate either that you or I had been entered in some sort of pop ularity contest ... let people give a little donation to their church or favorite charity in stead, if they must spend their money." "Instead of flowers on the casket, you can use the old Christian tradition of cover ing it with a pall-a fine large cloth made for the purpose, used as the American flag is used at military funerals. The pall gives no opportunity for man-made distinctions be tween rich and poor. . . "I want the undertaker lo use the simplest, cheapest cas ket he can find. I know that means It will probably be in bad taste. 1 still say cheapest. If it is covered wilh a pall, ils " 1 looks will make no practical difference anyway. But more important, what honor or val - ue is there In spending huge sums of money lo glorify and protect unnaturally, artifical - ly, the now useless machine introduce your family lo Utc pleasures of Cadillac ownership. r i ,gmm r i i iwiMi rr7iiiiiM iuT" VI H m Jj I You'd never get anywhere on today's complicated system of roads if you didn't have familiar signs to tell you where you're going and how to get there safely. But shopping for your family is a lot more com plicated than driving your car.
