Another Soviet. Satellite

By Lewis Milligan

Everybody's talking or thinking about the new moon, and the
old moon, known to the ancients as Luna, is having a greater in-
flucnce’ upon human minds then ever before. “Crying for the
moon,” which used to be an infantile infirmity, has become an
obsession with even elderly scientists. They are not content with
erying but are actually reaching for that fascinating orb. If they

would deny that they have entered their second they
must admit that a little child has led them.

This and H effort to reach the
moon might be attrituted to a form of lunucy. The scientists be-
lieved, and many moderns stil! believe that the moon has an un-
balancing effect upon certain Lovers are
said to come under its influence when ex} xposed to its beams in pub-
He parks and other open places. But that is an adult sour asper-
sion upon the sanity of the tender passion. Sailors on the old sail-
ing ships used to avoid sleeping on the open deck in the moon-
light in the fear that they would be moonstruck, and that thelr
faces would be distorted, like that of Dick Deadeye in HLMS. Pin-
afore.

‘Whatever may be said aeons those old superstitions, in our
own we, have the whole world
being moon-stricken, A heeallng in a newspaper stated that hun-
dreds had volunteered for rocket trips to the moon or to Mars be-
yond. If that isn’t lunacy, it is not what our superstitious forebear-
ers'would-have regarded as sanity.

How can we account for this psychological phenomenom? We
of the free Western Nations are generally satisfied that we are
living in the best of all possible half-worlds, and we can well un-
derstand this sudden spate of other-worldness on the part of the

of C ist Russia! But it hurts our pride
to find that our scientists have been so badly beaten in the race
for the moon. Personally, I am not in the least concerned. Indeed,
I think we should praise and flatter the Russians for their great
achievement. Anything that would divert the Soviet leaders from
their desire to conquer the whole of this world should be encour-
aged. The United States should even go so far as to offer to lease-
Jend or give away their entire stock-pile of rockets, and thus has-
ten the flight of at least the Soviet Presidium to the moon or to
any other world — he further off the better!

But it is very doubtful if Mr. Krushchev would take advan-
tage of such an offer for himself personally. He might consider it,
and longer-range rockets, the apostles of Karl Marx may yet rule
the Universe. — Sic transit gloria mundi!
however, as a means of getting rid of Molotov and others of his
rivals for power. Moreover, Siberia must be getting rather over-

ded with Ci and what safer and more ap-
propriate place could Mr. Krushchev think of to accomodate his
detractors than the moon? The Man in the Moon might object, but
he must be feeling pretty lonesomé up there and he would probab-*
ly welcome the invaders and agree to throw in his lot with the’ &
other Soviet satellites, 2

Russian colonization of the moon would open up an amazing.
prospect of a vast spatial Soviet Empire. Unlike Alexander the
Great, who wept because there were.no more worlds to conquer,
the power-hungry successors of Lenin and Stalin would have worlds
without end to communize. The new Soviet satellite now circling
around the ‘earth is merely the first shot in a Wellsian War of

Letter to Editor
Mr. L. Campbell,
Editor Castlegar News,
Castlegar, B.C.
Dear Mr. Campbell,

It has occurred to me that
many people in Castlegar, Kin-
naird, Robson and other com-
munities in the district would
like to know more about the
new hospital and yet not know
where to turn for the informa-
tion. They may not be awars,
for instance, that one person out
of eight in ‘the population will
need in-patient care and treat-
ment there before the spring of
1959; or that 150 bubies will be
born, in the maternity depart-

ment each year. F
Well - i

like have an affect on others?| -

Jesus Christ has ‘promised to
supply the help that wé need to
be an influence for’good, that
men and women may find
Christ.

A father told his son to set
up some bricks on their ends, in
a linea short distance apart,
now, said the father ‘knock down
‘the first brick’, the boy obeyed,
The fall of that brick made all
the others fall too. Then the’
father said,“Raise the last brick,
and see if the others will rise
with it They would not. Once
down they must be raised singly.
The father now said, ‘I have
given you this object lesson to

teach you how easy it is for one
to lead others astray, but how
difficult for him. to restore
them, however. sincere his, re-
pentance may be.

A dying man, whose Hfe had
been badly spent, exclaimed in
agony of mind and. heart, ‘Oh
that my influence could be gath-
ered up and buried with: met!’
It could not:be. He was not able
to put forth his ‘dying ‘hand to
stop the evil he had done, His
body ‘could be buried, ‘but not

What kind of an influence

are you having on others?

Anticosti.early in the 19th cent-
ury, fostered the legend to pre-
serve his. privacy. It is thought
that he lived by piracy as well
as hunting, fishing and trapping.
He was born at L'Islet, Quebec,
about 1784, and died on a remote
part of Anticosti Island that now
is known -z2s°Ellis Bay, where. he
had lived in well-armed seclu-
sien, He served in the Royal

down a tree whicn was blocking
the road to a new school of the
Ju-Ju. The real reason was that
some wild bees had a nest there
and will frequently sting people
to death when rashly: disturbed.
At Kano we were met by

the Chief Education Officer and
we stayed with him. His house
had walls 1 ft, thick made of
concrete, and even at that the
white ants were penetrating: in-
side the house,.Three ‘boys’ were
employed by him. (the word boy
is a little misleading — it just
means servants). This area which
used to be known as the “White
Man’s Grave" is now’ known as
the ‘White Woman's Paradise’.

evening, the boy is told what to
get for, the meals and they are
ready for you, and so on. For
this a good cook réceives a maxi-
mum of 2 Ibs. ($6). a week; a
boy, about $2; a gardener $1.50.
t that they are considered to
be well-paid, and numerous boys
have asked me if they can work
for me. It is only fair to say that
they can be a worry.
