Miller is to be highly comimilM for sticking his neck out to bring to this town some of the finest cultural entertainment available on the screen (however Inconsistent it may be with his policy of throwing local advertising on the same screen). 1 say sticking his neck out because of the lack of enthusiasm usually exhibited in the past for such •hows as "The Red Shoes". Ordinarily uo comment on this sub' Ject would be necessary because in most comrtftanities a show like this would net the local theatre owner a handsome revenue. Now 1 won't even say that maybe Mr. Miller didn't "make out" as the lavbg goes, but by , the looks of the pitifully small numbers of people who attended his showing of "The Red Shoes," 1 would estimate a substantial larger return for his trouble had the show been of the "Daisy" or "Murder in a Rat-trap" ilk (and at 44 cents per capita, at that), and that doesu'4. speak well for the cultural tastes of the people of this town! Of course there's the pr<?blem of some poor families with a flock of kids. A buck twenty for the cheapest seat in the house is ,a little stiff and maybe that scared a few others away, too. What is it, then? Is there a feeling against English productions? Or do the people shy away from foreign talent or otherwise unheard of actors? Are these shows not pushed or advertised enough? Or is it that everyone is afraid of to-called long-hair entertainment? If so, these fears are hardly justified, for plays of this kind, even #ie Shakespearian ones are in no teay over the heads of even high school freslimeTi. One need only ask some kid who has seen one. Tor that matter, ife it not proof enough that the people do attend t!he.f shows are invariably quite glad that they went? Now I'm quite sure that folks who have, stayed away from these pbowb--with the exception of fteople who couldn't afford them-- will resent I his letter: and o») tin- Other hand the people who do attend these shows will ask the same Questions that are here set forth. Mr. Miller's own personal exrlence in the line of offering Henry something new. different, nd good has returned him little discouragement. My guess is won't try again, but if he does, foil not only be sticking his neck -last, be'il be placing a lot of undeserved faith in the cultural tastes of this community.

Uray, NObel prize-winning chemist of the University of Chicago in»titute for nuclear studies. Dr. Urey suggested that heat generated by radidactive materials in the heart of an ocean-covered earth brought about vast structural changes which gave us the grest land masses on which we live today. , • The hypothesis outlined by Dr. Urey differs radically from the view, widely held In the past, that the earth was formed at a very high temperature and has been cooling off ever since. On the contrary, according to the new theory, the earth has grown warmer , since it "accumulated" some two billion years ago from a huge dust cloud which the sun had acquired during its travels through space. At the start. Dr. Urey suggested, the earth probably consisted of a low-density core, followed by a layer of a mixture of iron and stone, and on the surface a very thin layer of rock. Covering the whole was a layer of water. During the first stage of the earth's history. Dr. Urey continued, radioactive uranium, thorium, 'and • potassium in the story regions j raised its temperature until the iron layer melted. Then the iron dropped J to the center of the globe, forming a heavy, dense core, which displaced the lighter materials originally there and floated them up the surface. It was thus that the continental land masses and the deep Pacific basin were formed, he explained. An indication that dry land first appeared about 500 million years ago was seen by Dr. Urey in the fact that no fossil specimens from an earlier time have been discovered. Such creatures as may have lived more than half a billion years ago presumably were sea animals, whose skeletons were too light to be preserved, be pointed oiit.
