MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Regional I Roundup , By Cleve Twllchtll j Benianal feliiar I ' I MONDAY. JANUARY 7. 1963 By Cleve Twllchtll Regional Editor The w. Fry and his reported en counter with a spacecraft from outer space described in Sunday's Mail Tribune, is just another chapter in a story that has been told since the beginning of civilization earth. Dr. Carl Sagan (one news story called him a Harvard professor of astronomy, an other an astronomer at the University of California, take your pick) was quoted as saying recently that there are at least a million inhabit ed planets in the Milky Way galaxy that have developed civilizations capable of space travel. If our memory serves us correctly, Dr. Sagan was also quoted as saying he thought earth had been visit ed by spacemen at least 10,' 000 times since the planet was formed. There are references to strange objects in the sky and to visits by God-like be ings in practically all eras of recorded history of our planet, and also in the legends which preceded all recorded history. Some UFOlogcrs be lieve that all the references to fiery chariots and the like in the Bible involve inter planetary spacecraft. Others think "angels" were men from other worlds. Still oth ers think the star of Bethle hem was a spacecraft. Persons who think that only uneducated, foolish mor ons believe in the existence of life on other planets might be interested In the following little tidbit gleaned from a book called "Seeds of Liber ty" by Max Savelle. This is a book of speeches made by early American patriots. One of the speeches printed there in is by Benjamin Franklin, speaking against the impor tation of colored slaves to the United States. He points out that the Caucasian race is on a world-wide basis a minority race, adding: "I could wish their (the whites) numbers were in creased. And while we are, as I may call it, scouring our planet, by clearing America of woods, and so making this side of our globe reflect a brighter light to the eyes Of inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we, in the sight of superior beings, darken its people?" One must first consider the possibility that Franklin was misquoted. Then we must also consider the possibility that he was joking. But if he wasn't misquoted and wasn't joking, then he said a mouth ful. He said that 1. there were inhabitants "in" Mars and Venus, 2. they were capable of observing earth, and 3. they were superior beings. ' . Those Big Headlines Most eight or nine column banner headlines one sees in daily newspapers are con cerned with some important event of serious internation al, national or local signifi cance. And so it was with some interest that we noted an eight column banner in fairly large type last Thurs day on page 2C of the Grants Pass Courier. It screamed: "BLACK BEAR SCRAM BLES ACROSS HIGHWAY NEAR SELMA."

It was previously reported that Mrs. Meister is the first woman ever to seek a council position in Gold Hill. How ever, since the election it was pointed out by long time rest Motor Smaller Than A Pinhead Is Shown Yreka - Visitors to the Sis kiyou County Museum were given an additional treat this past week by an exhibit of the world's . smallest motor, being displayed by its creator and owner, William McClel lan of Pasedena. The motor which is small er than a pinhead must be viewed through a microscope. Only l64th inch to a side it works like a big one. It won a prize of $1,000, offered by Dr. Richard Feynman of Caltech upon completion two years ago. McClcllan, a miniaturiza tion specialist for Optical Systems, a Pasedena firm, de veloped the micromotor In two and a half months on his own time, working always with the aid of a microscope. Only IS one-thousands of an inch in diameter, it's no larger than a pencil dot about the size of the period at the end of this sentence, Yet it contains four coils (21 turns per coil) of wire two one-thousands of an inch in diameter, a quartz bearing, a tiny rotor - 13 parts in all - and it has an output of one-millionth horsepower. Described as a two-phase, permanent nibpnet, synchon- ous motor, the all but invis ible development was built largely with a watchmakers' lathe, microscope and sharp toothpick. It turns electrical energy (50 milliamps) into mechanical energy to whirl its minute motor. McClellan accompanied by his wife and two daughters was visiting here over the holidays with his mother, Mrs. Rosamond Westover.
