ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The planet Venus, shining so
brightly in the southeasterly sky
every morning, is our Christmas
Star, for this season of the year.
It is a “Star of the East,” and re
minds us of the true meaning of
Christmas.
The changing position of the
planet can be noticed from day to
day, by comparing its position
with reference to a nearby fixed
| star called Spica. The observation
will reveal that Venus is moving
eastward toward the sun.
The discovery through a tele
scope that Venus had phases
firmly established the theories of
Copernicus. When the Polish as
tronomer, in 1553, announced the
astounding theory that 1he sun
was the center of our solar sys
tem, he said that if the planets
between the earth and the sun
could be clearly seen, they would
show phases like the moon. This
was verified in 1610 by Galileo
with the first telescope.

* SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS
& -> x > • y-' ■
Church hells welcoming the faithful . . . young voices.outside, sing
ing with reverence . . . and tiny feet scampering off to bed. These are
the familiar sounds of Christmas.
This year you can add another sound . . . your own voice . . . with
Edison Voicewriter's new’ pocket-size midgetape recorder. It’s the newest
way to say "I love you” to far-away family and friends. The tape lasts
up to ninety minutes, can be erased and used again and can be played
back as often as you like.
So. before the holiday begins, gather everybody together . . . Mom,
Dad and all the children. Take turns voicing your own very personal
feelings of Christmastime into the mike. Then mail out the tape cartridge
as a unique kind of "greeting card that talks.” •
And on that special night, Grandma and Grandpa will place the
cartridge into their own recorder and play over and ever again . . . one
of the most wonderful of all sounds of Christmas.
