PACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1948 Rivera Mural Defaced By Young Men MEXICO CITY. June 1 iPl Borne young men scratched uie phrase, "Ood does not exist," out of Dleso Rivera mural Friday night, but Uie artist painted It right back in analn. The mural, titled "Sunday After noon in the Alameda," Is on a wall of Uie main dining room ol Uie gov ernment new 8,000,000 Prado ho tel. The young men, numbering 100 to 160, invaded the dining room, over powered three detecUves and kept back waiters while one mounted a chair and, using a table knife, scratched away all the phrase but Uie word "Ood." Rivera, dining a few doors away at the time, later brought a paint box Into the hotel dining room and. climbing on a chair, restored the obliterated words. He had taken the phrase from Mexican rcvoluUonary history. Be cause ol It, Mexican Archbishop Luis M. Martinez refused to bless the hotel as is customary with new buildings here. Police said the Invaders were en gineering students. They hunted Uie group today. Rivera confirmed reports today he has applied for readmission to Uie Mexican communist party. The party declined to comment on Rivera's application but said a bul letin on Uie matter Is In prepara tion. It expelled the artist In 1937 be cause of his close friendship with and support of Leon Trotsky. It Pays to Use the Want -Ads! In Defense Of Astronomy By J. HUGH PRl'KTT AilrBn"r. Iilfil DlvliUn. Orra llilhtr tdiirallva SlilfH Considerably perturbed was a young student who recently wrote to me. He failed utterly, after several earnest arguments, to con vince an older acquaintance that astronomy was a respectable and authoritative subject. "It Is not." his opponent maintained. "It is a false science and Is studied only by hoodlums." I suggested that astrol ogy, not astronomy, might have been the object of censure. It seemed, however, that both branches of star study had fallen under the wrath of Uie denouncer. While It Is true Uiat professional astronomers of today are not be lievers In astrology. It would be most unfair to label all astrological adherents as rowdies. And when every member of the astronomical fraternity is listed as a hoodlum, it at least occasions mild amusement. Astronomy. Uie oldest of all the sciences, is certainly not without honor. The ancient peoples, and especially the shepherds who were so much under the open night skies, were far more familiar with the stars and Uielr apparent move ments than are our modern city dwellers. It has been said that the sun was their clock; and Uie stars, with their changing seasonal posi- j Hons, their almanac Many priml i live seafaring peoples knew how to use the stars to guide their ships when far from shore. Today we are even more depend ent on the exact science of astron omy Uian were the ancients. Accu rate time comes from Uie well equipped observatories of Uie world. Land surveys and map making are based upon careful astronomical observations. The latitude and lon gitude of a ship or airplane far out at sea may be obtained through alUtude measurements on the heav enly bodies. Had the entire earth for Uie past thousands of years been cloud-covered, as Is Venus, world civilisation as we know It would be been greatly retarded. Astronomy has Its aesthetic, cul tural and mathematical aspects. There Is beauty unbounded In the starry sky. Its study gives an Insight into the Immensity of the great celestial spaces and man's relation to them. Adoration of the power by whatever name we desig nate It which controls the vast and orderly universe can hardly fall to uplift the soul of man. Those who have made the greatest advances in astronomical science have been mathematical giants, who have painstakingly studied the laws of cosmic procedures. Among the great names connected wlih the noble science of astronomy we find the ancient Arlstnrchus. Hipparchus and Ptolemy; many of the Arabs of the middle ages; Cop ernicus, Brahe. Kepler and Galileo around A D. 1600: a little later. Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest intellects of all time. Lagrange, Laplace and the Herschels, and in our present time. Sliapley, Russell, Hubble. Struve and others. If this is a list of hoodlums, who should regret being denounced as such?

The answer lies in the fact that too often the permanent future of our timber supply is taken for granted. Living in the midst of bounteous forests, it is difficult to realize that some of our mills are cutting beyond the abil ity of our forests to replace themselves by natural growth. Such a mill may be compared to the individual who lives beyond his income. Both travel the road to hardship and privation. Both take their dependents with them. Timber Exhaustion, A Problem Such a condition has already occurred in other timber areas of our nation. The forest sections of Michigan have almost disappeared as a result of "cut-out and sell-out" methods. The South is only now recovering after many years of overpro duction. Even in our own state some areas are cutting timber much faster than it can be replaced by natural growth. Sustained Yield, the Practical Solution Oregon has the last great stand of timber in America. Our forests are ample to sustain a permanent timber industry in Oregon IF we plan intelligent forest management. The machinery for such management is already set up in "sus tained yield cooperative agreements." Government-held forest land and adjoin ing private land are combined into sus tained yield units. This enables private operators to cut continuously under a systematic agreement. It insures the mills in the area of a permanent supply of logs. Sustained yield is everybody's busi ness. It concerns your financial futures no matter what business you're in. Write today for free folder "Sustained Yield" which explains this new development.
