A 5- MONDAY. FEBRUARY 18. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In Washington, President Kennedy calls on the congress to EXTEND A HELPING HAND to the young people of America. He said they are caught in cross currents which "hold great danger as well as great promise." As a means to this end, he asked for expansion of the Peace Corps whose basic job is to provide assistance by American young people to the backward nations of the world. He wants more funds with which to put more American young people to work in more foreign countries. IN ADDITION, he called for the creation of three other "corps" to help the nation's youth and let youth HELP THE NATION. Briefly, these new corps would be: 1. A National Service Corps, starting off with 100 to 200 volunteers and working up to perhaps as many as 5,000. The pay would be S6 to $8 a day. It would be open to anyone from 18 up, and it would be expected that most of the volunteers would be in the 25-35 age bracket. Pre sumably its members would be used anywhere in the U.S., at the discretion of the Presi dent. 2. A Youth Conservation Corps. It would be put up to 15,000 boys to work in its first year in the nation's forests and parks, at tasks that would give useful training for later job hunting. Its goal even tually would be 60,000 volun teers. 3. A Community Projects Service Corps. It would put youngsters of both sexes to work on service projects that would give useful job exper ience such as helping out in hospitals, schools, parks and "settlement houses." Its ex penses would be split equally between the nation and the community involved. country. It fills the papers, It clogs the air waves. Even the slick-paper magazines are full of it. A lot of it arises out of the fact that the modern gadget world provides almost NONE of the jobs (in the house and around the home) that an earlier day kept American youth too busy to have much time left for devilment. May be the time is approaching when government will have to provide the work and the DISCIPLINE that the Amer ican home formerly provided. It isn't a pleasant prospect, but it may be a prospect that we will have to consider. LET'S jump now from Wash ington to Salem, where George Annala, manager of Oregon Tax Research and a former member of the Oregon legislature, proposes to the education subcommittee of the joint ways and means com mittee a program that calls for state colleges and univer sities to operate on a school year of four 12-week terms. His plan would extend classes through Saturday, and attend ance as assigned would be mandatory. He told the joint ways and means committee that his pro posal would mean an increase of 68 per cent in classroom usage and would eliminate the need for new classrooms and dormitories requested by the governor. He added: "If this proposal were adopted, higher educa tion wouldn't need a dime of the proposed $45 million bond issue for new buildings." T ET'S not be too cynical at least at the start. There's plenty of what we call JUVENILE trouble in our GIVE the Gift you would like to from AVAN'S in the Medford Shopping Center PERSONALLY, I can't help thinking he has something. We are reaching the time when we're going to have to do a lot of looking at our hole cards. Taxes are getting so high meaning that they are taking so large a slice out of the taxpayer's total earn ings that we can no longer af ford reckless waste of public money. And Assuming that much of our juvenile trouble springs from the rule that "Satin will find some work for idle hands to do" . . . and recognizing that the home no longer provides the jobs it used to provide . . . this might be the time to be gin to consider keeping the younger generation busier in school.

(UPI) SHORTENING MARGARINE TOMATO JUICE COFFEE Scientists Devise Theory of Meteor As Start of Life Delos smith By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - (UPI) - Two sci entists have devised a new an swer to that most intriguing and baffling of all scientif ic questions --how did life start? A king sized meteor got life going, ) theorized Drs. ' J. J. Gilvarry .and A. R j Hochstim. It came rocket ing out of space at sensational speed and banged into the primitive earth. From the re sultant heat and enormous ex plosions came eventual life. Life was the result because the heat created the organic compounds which arc its basis and the explosion brought them down out of the atmos phere into the sea, the scien tists reasoned, using physical knowledge and refined mathe matical calculations. Theirs was a scientific ach ievement since solid theories on the origin of life are hard to come by. Scientists gener ally agree life first appeared in the season, but how organic chemicals got into the sea and how they came together to form primitive life are the prime questions. Free' Energy Credited 11 is logical to suppose some form of "free" energy would have been needed. The exist ing theory, which Gilvarry and Hochstim wanted to re place, holds this "free ener gy came from lightning and ultra-violet radiations of the sun. It worked in an atmos phere which was in a state of chemical flux and produced the organic chemicals. Gilvarry and Hochstim ob jected to this theory because it provides no physical pro gress by which the cheYnicals could have gotten out of the atmosphere into the sea. Their theory covered both the source of the "free" energy and how the chemical trans mutations got down out of the atmosphere in large and workable amounts. The energy came from the enormous heat in the shock waves of a meteor Hie size of a small planet traveling at hypersonic speed. This heat was sufficient to creat organic chemical compounds from the elements in the atmosphere. Before these compounds could revert, there came the impact of the meteor into the sea. This impact sent a hollow column of water into the at mosphere, like the one an atomic bomb explosion cre ates. This, they said, formed a dome-shaped cloud of water ! droplets high about the sea. Compound! Engulfed This steamy hot water en gulfed the complex organic compounds forming in the wake of the meteor and pre vented them from reverting. And when it coolrd enough to fall back into the sea, it look the orzanic compounds with it. The scientists offered calcu lations to show the yield in ) organic compounds of such a meteor collision with the earth would be enormous, quite enough to provide the wherewithal for the establish ment of life in the sea. They also assumed meteor crashes against the earth were fre quent billions of years ago when our planetary system was young. Gilvarry is the author of the theory that the present ocean basins were carved out of the earth by meteor explo sions. He works in the space science laboratory of General Dynamics, San Diego. Hoch stim works in the institute for defense analyses, Washington. Freed Archbishop Observes Birthday Rome - (UPI) - Archbishop Josyf Slipyi, recently released after 18 years of imprison ment in the Soviet Union, celebrated his 71st birthday Sunday at a public mass that brought tears to his eyes. Msgr. Slipyi, leader of the Eastern Rite Catholics in the Ukraine, said a public mass at the Abbey of San Nilo near Rome. It was his first public appearance since he arrived here eight days ago. Peasants and priests alike rushed to kiss his hand, and the archbishop broke into tears. Vatican sources said the archbishop was "horribly tor tured" while in a Siberian slave labor camp. .HOW COME Fluhrer's Holsum BREAD NOW TASTES BETTER THAN EVER?
