O INM By FLORENCE JENKINS The "Center of .Clcrica" prob- - 1cm has been sclllcOV'al least to the satisfaction of the Northeast em part of this state. (J Lebanon, Kansas, was the mJaof ","wul,.- thical geographical center of tlW United Start for some 46 years. The addition of two slates, bring-1 ing the total to 50, changed all that. W. O. and B. J. Holmes of He- search Publications, Inc., San Car los, California, became intrigued with the problem. As professionals in geography, astronomy anOi igation, they went to vtk on it and came up with a poinMn China Cap Mountain. 11 miles northeast tf litlln PntiHnta Drpenn The news bureau of NoiOasl Oregon Vacationland explains how the new center was determined The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey cut out a cardboard map of the 50 new states, left out great gaps for the Pacific Ocean and Canada, and came up with a new center near Castle Rock, South Dakota. However, that spot was not equidistant from anywhere sol Holmes and Holmes started inde pendent calculations. They mathematically construct ed a "box" of the 50 states. For the north line they used 71 de grees, 3 minutes Mrlh latitude the parallel which passes through Point Barrow, Alaska, the north ern tip of the 50 United Stales. At the south they chose 18 dc grees, 54 minutes, 45 seconds north latitude, the parallel at Cape island of Hawaii. On the cast, they used the parallel of longitude which passes through Quodd Head, Maine, and on the west the ne through Attu Island. This didn't work, cither. It placed the geographic center out in the Pacific Ocean As a compromise, they slOd off the Aleutian chain of almost uninhabited islands which strag ffs out toward Russia's Siberia accepted the line running through Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, the westernmost poinMil the continental United States. The center of I'B box turned out to just at U degrees, 32 minutes, 10 seconds west longi tudc; 45 dcgrsM. 8 minutes, 53 . n0rth Allude - just 11 2,478 unity 2.4ii3 feet, two inches fr'WM the western boundary and exacfm the same distance from the east ern edge.
