But she has her little boy, Paul, four, and Grandma was taking care of him back at Patrick Air Force Base near Canaveral. x Her boss, forwarned about the intense employee "kidnaping" practiced among rocket companies at missile conventions, feared for Helen's safety.

We cannot imag- ' without its ine life' without it warmth and its light. And it is hard for us to believe that the sun isn't very special, unlike anything else in the1 universe. But the sun of' course is only a star, one of billions and billions of stars f shining in the limitless stretches of space. So if vwe ask ourselves how was the Sun born, we are really asking how are stars born? And this is a question for which we still don't have a definite answer. We only have , speculation and theories. We do"know some definite things about stars. We know for example that stars differ in the materials of which they are made. They dif-'-feven more in size, temperature, and in their density. We know that some stars are sojbig that they are called red super-giant- s. Such stars are many times bigger than our own sun. Other stars are no bigger than our earth and are called white dwarfs. Even though the supergiants ar- so immense and so hot, they jave a density that is Dnly one-thou sandth the density of the air we breathe! On the other hatid, white dwarfs are hundreds of thousands of times as dense! . One theory that tries to explain how1 stars are born and what makes them what they are, claims that all stars begin as reJ supergiants and eventually become white dwarfs. According to this theory there are cosmic dust clouds wandering about through space. The particles in these dust clouds are attracted to each other and the dust .cloud's; contract. In time they are changed to gas and they glow as red .supergiant stars: More contraction then takes place and such stars become like cur sun,, which is an average star This-state- , might last for billions of years.

Recently in Hackney, an old borough of London, I saw Eastway Park, an experimental housing development that is answering thisx plea in an admirable way. Opened a year ago, the development is proving such a success that the London County Council plans to build four more like it. . In Eastway Park's layout are a ' home, in three, section, two-stor-y which 80 infirm old people live, and four blocks of two-stor-y apartments, which surround the home. About 30,' elderly people who are well enough to be on their own live in those flats.

First, the secretary of Health arid Welfare warned American housewives not to buy any cranberries because a few from the Northwest were supposed to have caused some rats to get cancer. Now it turns out .the rats didn't eat any cranberries after all, but a chemist experimented with the weed duller over a 'long period of. time, other." v"' ..

The best roads still are in Nevada, and so are the speed regulations, which are reasonable. Intone place there, we saw a sign reading, "WE ADVISE 50 MILES PER HOUR."
