capacity have been loaded aboard
ship in Seattle for the Alaska
Department of Public Works. They
are the first such equipment pur
chased by the Alaska department.
One unit destined for Anchor

Solar Observatory i
To Study the Sun
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. _
An orbiting solar observatory,
nicknamed Oso, is scheduled to
be launched here next week to
make the most comprehensive
study of the Sun and how it af
fects conditions on earth.
Flying in a circular orbit 350
miles above the earth, Oso’s deli
cate instruments will be able to
take readings uncluttered by the
earth’s heavy atmosphere.
Major assignment of the 440
pound laboratory will be to
measure X rays and gamma, ultra
violet and infrared rays stream
ing toward earth from the Sun.
Those potentially deadly parti
cles are absorbed or distorted by
the atmosphere and thus are pre
vented from reaching earth.
Scientists feel the rays and the
directions in which they travel
hold clues to the origin and his
tory of the solar system. They
also may help show how the Sun
controls our weather, interferes
with communications and alters
the composition of the globe
circling radition belts.

Glenn Views
Strange Spectre
On Space Trip
By John Barbour
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. M —
Strange specter in space: Astro
naut John H. Glenn Jr. and his
spacecraft and a flowing shadow
of ice. It is one mystery about
Glenn’s round-the-world adven
ture that hasn’t been solved yet.
It began at sunrise over the
Pacific as Glenn sped toward the
United States on his first of three
orbits around the earth.
Minutes later he reported: “The
only really unusual thing so far
were the little particles, luminous
particles around the capsule —
just thousands of them — right at
sunrise over the Pacific.”
Glenn said the little particles
seemed to be traveling right along
with him.
Speculation rose. What was this
mysterious shadow in the dark
world of space?
Were the particles meteorites
and space debris? Why would they
glow? Were they bits of dust from
the heat shield of the spaceship,
reflecting sunlight?
Or were they the lost needles
of Project West Ford, the plan
to put a belt of tiny wires into
v/aksai, wx v/wnv.1 U1C cai LU LU awl, do d
reflector for radio and television
signals?
It was not likely that the
shower Glenn saw was the need
les because they were put into
a higher orbit and very likely
did not spread because the pack
age carrying them failed to open.
Was this some new magic na
ture had dreamed up to confound
man’s first steps away from his
world?
Some things can be deducted. |
The particles seemed to be
traveling with Glenn in his orbit.
That would likely mean that they
came somehow from the space
ship itself and had the same
speed, the same orbit.
Glenn noticed them at sunrise
when they glowed. So they likely
reflected sunlight, and didn’t have
a glow of their own.
One source close to the Mercury
project offers one of the simplest
and most plausible of the possible
explanations:
One of the cooling devices in
the spacecraft which uses water
to remove heat vents the water
into space through an exhaust
tube. This would produce a water
/apor in waterless space, a vapor
noving with the spacecraft.
The droplets, frozen into crys
als in the frigity of space, caught
he light as the sun rose up before
he hurtling spacecraft, giving
Jlenn a strange companion — a
flowing shadow of frozen sequins
n space.

SUB-NORMAL VISION
Over 2,000,000 persons in
the United States have sub
normal vision. Many thou
sands more have less than
7 0% vision — are classified
"legally blind." Serious dis
abilities — which convention
al glasses cannot correct —
may be caused by disease, in
jury at birth or injury through
accident. _
*
Recent research announced by
the American Optometric Asso
ciation gives the "partially
sighted" new hope. Telescopic
and microscopic lenses ... con
tact lenses... and new pinhole „
devices may reduce excessive
haziness. Patients may learn to ^
enjoy movies, travel, reading,
sewing and hobbies once more.
Psychological problems arise.
Patients must be warned that a
new device is an aid to vision
— not a cure for defects. They
must accept the sometimes un
attractive appearance of these
devices, and the time and ef
fort required to learn to use
them. Teams of highly trained
specialists in the optometric
field help solve these problems.
