The second point ta remnember is that whle this 10-year space prog-rain that should have a inan on the moan by 1970 is ta cost roughly 7$3ü,09Qfl0,$00ý,the country does not save ýe all f Uhat amouint if it were to follow the Eisenhower -Glennan i advice and pay les attention to the mnoon. 'It's flot a case of $30,000,000.000, for a mran-on-thie-miooni shot; but of$3,0,0,0 for al af the nation's space exploration for the rest of this decade.

Nithier former Pr e s iildent Eisenhower, nor former space chief Keith Glennian, have urg- ed that the whole space pro- gram 1be dum-peýd. Th-- debate dloes fotsinf that the couîn- try would have the entire $30,- 000,000,000 or what is earmrark- ed for space in this decade ta, spend for foreign aid, or build-, in- roads or scljools, or desait- ing sea, water. What, the nation m-ight save, is between $3,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000 -- saved in the sense that it wouldi not beý spent be-fore 1970, but might bDe spent later. What Presidenit Kennedy has donc i3 ask his space experts if by stepping up the program 15 per cent or so the Uniteýd States has a gaod chance af putting a mani on th~e moon1ahead of the Soviets. The answer he got was "yesý," and 50 he lias stepped up the tïilietable. Wh1at ýis somnethimes ave4looked in this debateý is thie great prac- tal ValM, hespace prograni already in operation. For examn- pie, the Tiras 111I weather satel- lite hall been aloft only a few hours this wveek before it was transmitting pictures of storni areas over -Newfoundland, and- the Guif of St, Lawrence. As for the Midlas satellite fhat passed over the U.S.S.R. five hours after launching, scannîng the Soviet, landscapc for~ missile bases and other points of inter- est, it is no se cret the Pentagon is elated over its possibilities as wVata-hdog ovr certain Sovit military aperations. Sa far the Kremlin lias not ob- j ected ta the orbiting af these satellites over the U.S.S.R., nor ,thrcatcned ta shoot thein down if it develops antisa.tellite satellites. W i t h, President Eisenliower's agreement ta stop U-2 flght.s over theU.S., these satellites constitute the West's best chpnce to kniow what's going oan behI'n6 the Iror. Curtain.

Ballot The Key To NegroRights There are mnany- Negcro leaderse including Uthe Reverexid Martin Luther King, wlio are coming around at last ta believe that the ballot is the key tao future pro- gress toward racial equality. There was a long time w-ieni these selI-samne leaders thauglit the Justice Department was put- ting too mnucli empliasis on this phrase of the rgrnanti was averlaoking thie more. obvius aspects. But the trnth is, the'y cati now sec that politicianis of the South are no different front those >ln other regians.

For a long time it seeird clas thougli the ballot wvas a long wayý off for most Negroes. But now,ý there are signs every where of a major brealrougli. Administra- tion civil-riglts expýIerts are con- vincedc that Nlegroes are on th( etige riglit now, and that in three yeairs they. will be so strong poli- ticalli thecSouth, that the- dema1,ggues will have t. stop preaching thieir doctrine of white supremnacy. The signs are mnany, Irn Macon County, Alabama-, the Justice Departmenit won a fetieral court ortier banning delay anti ob- struction by whtes. Since then 180 Ncgroes have registereti, andi 670 are on the lists for early ac- tion, In Haywoad Caunty, Ten- nessee, the first Negro voters since the Civil War registered a year aga, ater a Justice Depart- ment suit. Now there arc 1,500 registereti. Lantiowners ln that caunty whi-o used strong economnie repressive measures against regi- stere.tiNcegroes are now seeking a consent settlemrent suit, con- vincd that they were wýronig. The speanheati in this pragress has been the legalwvor1k tine by the Justice Department. The law, lias been effectively applieti. In aiitowhite resistance ta the Negro vote is slackening, as it is bounti ta in aý cause that is mnoral- lyT wrang. Finally,, and probably the maost powerîul factor ofaI a, s the tievelopmentof new, young, cdu- cated Negro leaders. We have saiti that the kcy ta Ibis prcgress is th, ballot. But even mare basic lias been the education af the Negro. That lias gratiually des- troyeti the apatliy toward voting, lias tievelapeti pride of race ani a tietermninatian ta take part in the~ affairs aI the worlti. This young leadership among Negraes, while it has 'been fnntastic-ally successful in avaitiing overt vio- lence, lias been vigarouis ini articulate. It cannot de denieti.

But we get the saie result by staying quietly at hernie! You sec,' when everybody else is away aur _place is s0 strangely quiet il l, just like having a holiday!

We are even saved the necessity of guarding TaI fy and Ditto froni taa mucli attention, Taîfy laves children but lie daesn't like being picked up. Thien there is the cherry prob- lem. Just recentiy thie children next door h'ave b'-en attracteti by the wild cherry trees that line aur back fence. We don't rmind losing the cherries - the birds wouild anly get thein anyw~ay - but we hate ta thinli of the -con- sequences wlicn smnall ehildren get eating saur, under-ripe cher- riýes. So we have been ke-eping an eyc on the children and re- parting the matter ta their. res- pective motlicrs. Not liaving to weatch them is aniother kind of holiday. But ohl dear, isr't it hot? Until two wecks ago most of us were complauniing because thii. wet- ther was sa cool. But 1 can't re- member that 1 aomrplained. 1 kncw only tio well the timne wauld corme whcn it would be toa hot for camîort. And s0 it is. The- only ture 1 have been comfort- able during the last wcck was when I was shopping in an air- conditioneti store. Even that lias its drawbacks - one feels thie heat alI the mare when anc re- turns ta normal hot and liumid air conditions. Wffeatlier braadcasters h a v e been comparing this hlot speilIta that of 1936. 1 remember that summier. Pannrer is one of thbse persans who însists on ignoring the heat. He says keep on work-- ing- and yau don't notice it. W'e11, duning that hundreti degree hot speli wc were hoeing turnips in a field behlindtilte house. No shade. 1 was ready ta drop.

There is another thîng that worries me duri-ng a prolongeti hot spell - anc seenis ta waste s0 much ture nawadays. Mlost aI us do what wve have ta do but aîtea- that it is mujch easier just' ta sit anti visit, or read, or watch-- T.V. than ta do a bit af extra seýwing or- knitting. For that rea- son 1 always like ta have sanie sunmmer "pick-upi" work ready for the lazy days. This summier rry afghan for thie haspital raffle next fail lias kept me busy. And do you know I have it neanly finished - and it lias been no effort at al!

Bu~t in sï\ail- er hospitals whcre there is an active wam-en's atýpliary the work îs entireîy volunitarý An1a believe me, it is an excellent way to serve your community. Sa, if you are interesteti in lios-_ ital workc, first of ail find out if there is a WA. in connection 1with your nearest liospital, then ask who is in charge, anti then, if you, arc good at seýwinig, voluni- teer your services. Most hospitals are only too glad of extra work- crs. Another interesting item in my mail last week was a list af suggestions for combatting the rabbit nuisance. One idea was ta sprinklc a 'dried blood' compou(inti arounti the slirubs as tinieti blaod is olinoxiaus ta rabbits. That, sountis fine cxcept that during the winter Uic cinipaund, would likely be covereti witl iinw and the rabbits scattering arount on, top of the snow eating the branches hal1fwy up the slirub. I gucss tile- aiy safe, way is ta put tar paper or a wire-netting fenc araund ecd shrub ýIar the winter. And that Is quite. a cliore.

Modern Etique fle Wy Arène Ashley Q. lust what is the mieamng ,-of "isemi-formial," as applied to thic dress of both men andwoen A. This usually depends uri),n the comfmunity. In some pl1aces, wliere men customarily wear tails, then semii-formial nieans tuxedos for the man and sim-ple evening dresses for the womien. In a simnpler cammunity, it would be plain dark blue or gray, suits for the men and afternoan frocks for the wamen.
