GALILEO
BUT IT DOES MOVE
1W by NO Stryict. Inc. CIlOP. 2
I Man's knowledge of the universe moved ahead
,with the years.
(1) Nieolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), of
Poland, was repelled by the complicated, earth
centered Ptolemaic universe which had been ac
cepted as truth for centuries. From his observa
tions, Copernicus came to the conclusion that the
Earth was just another planet, rotating on its axis
and revolving about the Sun. The Sun, and not
the Earth, -was the center of the universe. Shortly
after his death, the Inquisition clamped its grip on
Europe.
(2) The Italian Giordano Bruno (15487-1600)
was not an astronomer, but a philosopher. Herald
of the modern age of science, he extended the
Copernican system. He proclaimed that not only
the Earth, but the Sun and all its planets were
only a tiny part of the universe. For such heresy
he was burned at the stake.
(3) Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) built the first
observatory in the western world, on an island ofT
his native Denmark. Brahe was a great observer
and contributed much to astronomy. But he was
never able to accept Copernicus' theories.
(4) Brahe's assistant, Johannes Kepler 1571
1630) of Austria, demolished the old Greek as
tronomy of perfect circular orbits for planets. His
mathematics laid the groundwork for Newton's
law of gravitation.
(5) The Italian Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
built the first astronomical telescope and was
amazed when he turned it toward the Moon. He
was the first man to see a heavenly body as it
really was. And he declared that Copernicus was
right the Earth did indeed move about the Sun.
But as an old' man he was forced to recant his
theories. It was for a later age to recognize his
genius.
Next: Newton, Mechanic of the Universe.

Teen-Agers Find
Mortar Shell
PORTLAND (AP)-A live mor
tar shell was pulled . from the
Tualatin River yesterday by two
teen-age fishermen.
Ladd Jackson, 14, and Bill Joy
ner, said they saw the shell in
the water, about 500 yards up
stream from the Baldock freeway.
They managed to fish it out.
The boys said they dropped the
shell a couple of times while
bringing it home. They had no
idea it was dangerous until a
neighbor recognized it as a 60
millimeter mortar- shell. A ser
geant from the 53rd Ordnance De
partment said it was live. He took
it away to be destroyed.

Smoke Bear Breaks 700;
Forest Fire Total Drops

Associated Press Staff Writer
Smokey Bear finally has broken
100.
The big buy in the fur coat,
symbol of the forest service cam
paign to reduce the fire toll of
timber and wildlife, might look a
little happier on the familiar warn

year's record.
Finished totalling up the re

Monday.
Pilot John Cann made an emer

after the successive bolts cracked
the windshield, damaged an en

plane's navigation lights. Nobody
was hurt.
ELVIS' LEAVE EXTENDED

emergency leave. After attending
funeral services for his mother,
who died last week, Elvis was

nation last year. That was the first
year that fires dropped below the
100.000 mark and compares with
143.000 the previous year. The
area burned was reduced by just
about half.
Ten years ago, there were more
than 200,000 fires.
The improvement, however, was
not a general thing. In the South,
the Southern Forest Fire Confer
ence formed two years ago in New
Orleans could take a good deal of
credit in the area s cutting its
number of fires by more than half,
Under the system, law enforce
ment at even the county level has
slashed a major cause the in
cendiarist. .
But in some other states, acre
age burned increased from two to
seven times. In Idaho, only a few
more fires destroyed trees on
more than 135.000 acres, compared
with less than 20,000 acres burned
the year before.
Alaska, not included in the state
totals for 1957, had one of its worst
fire years on record, with 264 fires
burning over nearly 5 million
acres.
Who was the guy responsible for
starting most of them? The fellow
who started out to burn rubbish
So Smokey still has work to do.
American Communications
System Continues To Grow
By ELMER C. WALZER
NEW YORK (UPI) With
American industry spreading out
all over the nation with its branch
offices and plants a giant system
of communications is growing
and growing.
American Telephone & Tele
;raph Company's long lines de
partment sets up 5.868,760 miles
of circuits for 5.527 services to
industry in teletypewriter service.
Also there are 7,259 users of
private telephone lines with a
total mileage of 2,565,140 miles.
Companies using these far-flung
communications systems keep in
touch with all developments of
their various plants and offices.
And the process makes a piece
of big business' for the telephone
company.
Some of the systems resemble
the press associations with
their busy wire communications
throughout the nation.
Largest users of private com
munication systems include Gen
eral Motors. General Electric
U. S. Steel, Western Electric, Du
Pont, New York Central, Chesa-i
peake & Ohio, Republic . Steel, !
Armour and Swift. Of course, thei
airlines are linked up with a vast
network of wires. i
One of the new communications
systems recently installed was
for Swift & Co. Swift replaced its
old communications system with;
fully automatic teletypewriter
system, the first of its kind in the
food industry, according to Ameri
can Telephone.
That company notes that Swift
must have speedy communications
because of the keen competition
in the meat business where pro
ducts are perishable, and profit
margins very close. Market prices
and available product supplies
must be kept under constant ob
servation. .
The system also aids the im
mediate delivery of products and
permits a quick response to cus
tomer inquiries.
Information comes in from all
over the country and is processed
by ATT processing equipment and
facts then are distributed to the
Swift sales organization.
Swift's new communication sys
tem links 55 cities from coast to
coast with 16,400 miles of cir
cuits. It can transmit 90,000 words
an hour, more than twice the
wordage of the company's old
system.
