There’s a reason why sardines
are packed so tightly in a can,
and it isn’t to keep them from
getting lonesome . . . The more
sardines the packer can put in,
the greater his profit . . . Olive
oil costs more than the fish.
British Radio Telescope
Picks up Vague Signals
From Outer Space
JODRELL BANK, England UP>—
The giant radio telescope here
picked up vague and indistinct
signals Saturday which might
have been sent out by the Soviet
space rocket which, if still on
course, should be near the planet
Venus.
The rocket, launched Feb. 12,
was due to pass within 62,000
miles of Venus this morning. Its
radio went dead some time ago
but the Russians say a reserve
communications system was sup
posed to begin operating Friday.
It’ll be even more of a woman’s
world when normal life expectan
cy reaches 100 years . . . Some
doctors believe women then will
outnumber the frail male five to
two . . . And they’ll have no
trouble electing a lady U.S. Pre
sident.
