ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Mercury is the nearest to the
sun, and the smallest of the prin
cipal planets. Itse diameter is
3,11)0 miles, and it revolves about
the sun in 88 days.
Mercury does not greatly exceed
the moon in size and mass, and
consequently in surface gravity.
The low velocity of escape at its
surface, 2.6 miles a second, is un
favorable to the retention of any
considerable atmosphere.
Only six per cent of the sunlight
that Mercury receives is reflected,
which suggests that it has prac
tically no atmosphere, and its sur
face is far from smooth.
The best views of Mercury
through the telescopes are obtained
in the daytime when the planet
is ar above the horizon. While
the different phases are easy
enough to see, the markings on
the disk are extremely faint in
th best conditions. Yet some large
darkish markings have been seen.
Excitement High
In Quest for
Mrs. America 1959
There are just seven days left
for all the good homemakers of
Nome to enter the “Mrs. America”
contest, which is offering $50,000
in prizes. This isn’t time to hide
homemaking skills, for a marve
lous year is in store for the woman
who wins the coveted title of “Mrs.
America.” The entries must be
in New York by May 15. They
should be airmailed from Alaska
by May 12. If in the outlying areas
entry blanks are not available,
write to: Mrs.' America Contest,
326 “I” Street, Anchorage.
Excitement is running high as
plans for Alaska’s Mrs. America
contest becomes more complete.
There* will be a smaller, but just
as complete contest as that being
planned for the national finals.
This means that our state winner
will be familiar with the contest
events, and stands a better chance
of bringing the Mrs. America
crown and its prestige back to
Nome.
Our state winner, “Mrs. Alaska,”
will win a year’s supply of hair
care and good grooming, a set o'f
aluminum cookware, a complete
set of foods, rug and upholstery
shampoo set, 4 4-piece settings of
stering flatware, and the trip to
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Beyond
the opportunity to make Nome the
home of “The Nation’s No. 1
Homemaker,” our state winner
will be awarded this two-week,
all-expense-paid trip to Ft. Lau
derdale with her husband, for the
national finals. The lucky couple
will stay at the luxurious, ocean
front Sea Shore Hotel. For fur
ther information, contact Lela
Elledge, Apartment 17, Safehouse,
Anchorage.
