ASTRONOMY NOTES
- By OLAF HALVERSON
The “Belt of Orion” is known |
by other names. In the Book of
Job it is called the “Bands of
Orion,” while in the mythology
of Greece and Rome it was called
the arrow which Diana used in
killing the hunter.
In the mythology of the north
ern races it represented Frigga’s
jeweled Spinning Wheel with j
which the goddess wove the long
threads of fleecy clouds.
By some Eskimos the stars are
believed to be three seal hunters
who have lost their way and are
called the “Lost Ones.” They also
think the Belt resembles three
steps cut in a snowbank.
To the Australians, the three
stars represent three young men
who are dancing while the Pleia
des are maidens playing for them.
In England the Belt is called
the “Golden Yard,” because the
stars are equidistant apart, like a I
measuring rod.

Justice Reed
Retires at 72
WASHINGTON, MP)—President
Eisenhower yesterday accepted
the resignation of Supreme Court
J ustice Stanley Reed, effective
February 25.
Reed, 72, is a Democrat. He has
served on the highest judicial
tribunal 19 years.
The naming of his successor
will be Eisenhower’s fourth ap
pointee on the Supreme Court.
Eisenhower’s other appointees
are Chief Justice Warren and As
sociate Justices Harlan and
Brennan.
Reed is taking advantage of a
provision of law which allows
him to retire at full pay and be
subject to call for occasional ser
vice on the court if this is de
sired.
Eisenhower, in a letter to Reed,
said he was taking the opportu
nity “to tender my congratula
tions on your long and splendid
record in public service.”
Who do you think is the most
rabid group of model airplane
builders? It seems the Air Corps
and Navy cadets are. A little: over
75 per cent of them build model
aircraft in their off-duty hours. v

The current fad for pet birds
has created a profitable hobby for
one little girl we know. She's a
bird sitter. When folks with feath
ered pets leave on vacation they
deposit their birds with her and
she takes care of them untiil the
owners return. Her fee: $2 a week
per bird.

The news that an aircraft com
pany will soon produce a modern
version of the famous Ford Tri
Motor airplane (called the “Tin
Goose”) reminds us that Mono
gram Models, Chicago, has created
a model of this respected old craft.
It has been reproduced in minia
ture, exactly to scale, including
the Corrugated wings and body
;hat were a trade-mark for the
plane. Monogram tells us it f ash
ioned its model of the Ford Tri
Motor after the one Admiral Byrd
used on his Antarctic flight.

You don’t have to go on an Afri
can safari to photograph wild ani
mals. A Cleveland man does it in
his home town. His hobby is photo
graphing the animals in the 2:00s,
in circuses and in the wooded areas;
of the vicinity. He gets pictures:
that look as if they were taken in
jungle scenes.

! Territorial House Bill Appropriates
$188,000 for Tennessee Plan
WASHINGTON, W)—President
| Eisenhower recommended yester
| day that the immigration laws
| should be amended to eliminate
i the necessity for immigration of
! ficers to inspect and apply ail
grounds of exclusion to aliens
seeking admission to the main
land of the United States from
Alaska and Hawaii.
In a message to Congress he
said: “These territories are part!
of the United States, and aliens1
who have entered or are present J
in them .are subject to all the pro-!
visions of the law. If any were
deportable before arriving on the
mainland, their deportable status
continues.”
The President also asked for
changes in the immigration laws
so it will be easier to give haven
to refugees “who have fled or in
the future flee” Red tyranny.
In his 2,000-word special mes
sage, the President called also for
general revisions of the law to
allow about 65,000 more immi
grants to come to this country
each year. The present annual
quota is 154,857 and is based on
the census of 1920. Eisenhower
asked for quotas based oh the
1950 population census.
Eisenhower also called for a
redistribution of the quotas “in
proportion to the actual immigra
tion.” The effect of this would be
to increase the number of south
ern Europeans and Mediterran
ean peoples permitted to emigrate
to the United States.
Eisenhower' said, too," that Con
gress should pool the uniised
quota numbers for Europe, Afri
ca, Asia and the Pacify area.
These wguld then be available chi
a first come, first served basis
without regard to birthplace. •
This similarly - would , open the
way for admittance of "additional
southern Europeans, since cur
rently the unused quotas have
been those of northern European
countries.
Further, Eisenhower said, pro
visions should.be made for thie
annual admission of ' drphani,
since “there afre many Amtericai^
eager to adoiH chilclifitn frotyt
abroad.” ' $
