The chief differences temperature on Jupi-ter are that the may average 225 degrees below zero F., and the atmosphere con-sists of methane, hydrogen and ammonia. Does this mean that life cannot exist on Jupiter? Not nec-essarily. The swirling storms and of condensed or fro-zen rain or snow ammonia may be the very life - - but thing that stimulates life of course, of a different chem-ical composition than life on earth. There are many observers, and I am one of them, who hold that life may reasonably be expected to adapt itself to .any environ-ment, and that people who can-not conceive life different than our own are simply being "provin-cial" in the outlook. Unimagina-tive. H. L. Mencken expressed this idea superbly away back in 1922. He said that astronomers who ar-gued that certain planets could not. support life simply because con-ditions there were different from the earth were simply begging the question. "If the Lord God Almighty, by combining carbon and the three gasses, can make an ambassador to the Court of St. James's, I see absolutely no reason why He can-not make a monad of helium and flourine," he wrote, and then ad-ded, "Here, I, too, make a grati-tuou- s supposition: I speak of a monad, or definite cell. But why should life be the exclusive func-tion of cells? Isn't it possible to imagine living beings without def-inite form? The whole interstellar space, in fact, may be full of them.

Bob Nichols got in some instru-ment and commercial practice on Monday and Tuesday Mel Beckstead piloted a new Cessna 140 to Delta from Spanish Fork last Wednesday, for Tex Sea-rle- , who recently bought the plane. It was Mel who was circling town in this plane during the snow storm. Archie Searle has decided to learn to fly, now that there is a Cessna in the Searle family. He took his familiarization Saturday. Darwin Barney, Niel Bishop, Don Bird and Leon Theobald made a little flight over town at dusk Sunday in the Aeronca Sedan. Dar-win tells me it was his first time up in about five years, the previ-ous flight having been to Salt l ake in the Chief with June Hinck-le- v piloting. Penny ante was enjoyed in the hangar office Sunday. RON'S TRIPLE FEATURE ... If Ron Morley never knew it be-fore, he knows it now. Hollywood is the land of make-believ- of soaring illusion and cruel disillusion, where things aren't what they seem, and could not be. even if they really tried to make them so, which they don't. Ron was the hangar attendant Sunday morning, and the craft that he saw coming in for a landing was an unusual type, to say the least. It was a flying boat. "Looks like something right out of Holly-wood", Ron thought, and as It tax-ied up to the ramp for gas, Ron per ceived that it was something right out of Hollywood. It was a green and gray Gruman Amphibian, bear ing the insignia of the 20th Cen-tury Fox Film Co. It was a twin engine, 1200 hp craft, with accom-odations for ten passengers and two crew men. To call it luxurious was to put it mildly. Ron topped it off with 180 gal-lons of gas, and then, bursting with curiosity, got to quizzing the pilot, one Jefferies, as to just how come 20th Century Fox would be send-ing a flying boat to Delta, Utah. Jefferies told him he landed here to pick up some Fox people who had been vacationing at Sun Valley. The people had taken the train because of bad weather up north and arranged to board the Amphibian at Delta. That really set Ron's Imagina-tion to working overtime. He de-cided that a whole bevy of actor-ine- s dressed in sarongs would des-cend on Delta Airport forthwith, so he high-taile- d it home to get his camera so he could take some pictures of the Fox Company's beauties as they boarded the fly-ing boat. Ron's heart was all aflutter. He figured pilot Jefferies would be a good enough guy to give him an "induction" to Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, or maybe Susan Hayward, or even, Ohmygosh!, Betty Grable, Patricia Neal, June Haver, Claud-ett- e Colbert, Mitzi Gaynor. or ev-en - - could it be? Shelley Winters, of strip-teas- e fame. Jefferies bor-rowed Max Kay's oar to drive to the train, and while he was gone Ron's thoughts kept hitting new highs. Maybe Miss Winters had just done her act on the train for the people, and when she got to the airport she would have practi-cally nothing on, and she would be cold, and she might sidle up to Ron and ask him if there wasn't something he could do to warm her up, and he figured there would be. About that time Jefferies got 'back with his passengers, and whom do you think he brought? Well, they weren't .nobody, to be sure, but neither were they beau-teous actresses. They were three of the Fox outfit's too producers: Otto Lang, William Winans, and Julian Blustein, producers of such shows as Call Northside 777, Mr. 880, and The Day The Earth Stood Still. A distinguished group, to be sure, but hardly what Ron expec-ted. The three men boarded the am-phibian; pilot Jefferies and his co-pilot taxied down the runway; and a. wistful looking Ron Morley wat-ched them take to the air and head for Hollywood. Gone was the strange, luxurious craft that could maneuver on land, water, on in the air; and gone too, was Ron's brief dream of a little tete-a-te-with Shelley Winters. Ron got a picture of the Holly-wood producers boarding their Gruman. That's all. JOVIAN LIFE ... Jupiter is the largest of the pla-nets, with a diameter eleven times that of the earth. Its volume is 1300 times the earth, but being of lighter density its mass is only 317 times. A recent report from the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz., tells us that the atmosphere of Jupiter is characterized by winds and storms, cyclones and very much as is the atmosphere N0T1CE To farmers wishing to sign up for practices in the "PMA 1952 pro-gram" should have their sign-u- p completed by March 3, 1952.

When your field work calls for more real pull, live-weig- ht traction will see you through. The hydraulic TRACTION BOOSTER in the CA and WD Tractors changes deadweight to liveweight. Weight of both tractor and implement is automatically shifted to bear down on drive wheels when soil is stubborn and tillage is tough. The hydraulic TRACTION BOOSTER reduces wheel slippage enables the CA and WD to do draw-bar jobs that normally would require heavier tractors. Stop in and let us show you how it works.
