Show March 28, 1963 THE SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) HERALD Page Seven " ; " Amateurs make contributions to America's space programs transmissions of the Soviet cosmonauts were translated in-to English at the station by a local priest of the Russian Orthodox Church. During the summer of 1958, a group of serious-minde- d high school boys visited the station and asked to join the project. The scientists accepted their help. One student developed a computer program which has since been distributed to scen-tifi- c journals throughout the world. He also designed a sat-ellite tracker which replaced older equipment. Other youths were soon pre-paring highly scientific theses on space exploration and sat-ellite tracking some beyond the knowledge of the scientists themselves. As the students went on to college and graduate studies, several kept up their work with with Project Moonbeam. Three or four high school re-cruits are now chosen each year from the dozens who ap-ply, and observers feel that the lab has become a training ground for some of the area's ' The scientists and students have obtained a radio telescope and a tower, and are working together to fashion a system whereby they may be among the first to watch, on a tele-vision receiver, man's first probes and exploration of the moon. An amateur satellite-trackin- g station begun as a hob-by is making important contributions to . America's space program. Among other achievements, it has been able to determine the weight of orbiting satel-ite- s. This will help make pos-sible the ferreting out of any secret Soviet 'spy in the sky" satellite. Project Moonbeam, as the station is known, began in 1956 with a group of scientists at an oil research laboratory in a Cleveland suburb. Want-ing to build their own track-ing station, they asked permis-sion to use the company's lab-oratory facilities. What they lacked in cash, they made up in ingenuity, re-ports the current issue of Pe-troleum Today. Working on their own time, they used idle or outmoded equipment to build an antenna system. Elec-tronic equipment was impro-vised or purchased from gov-ernment surplus. As the pro-ject progressed, the company contributed a small grant and area firms provided additional materials. The scientists had their sta-tion ready by January 29, 1958 just 48 hours before the launching of "Explorer I." News of the successful track-ing of this satellite by Project Moonbeam was quickly spread by news media, and the sta-tion has served as a source of accurate information about other sattellites ever since. The scientists have accur-ratel- y tracked scores of satel-lites, including Russia's twin space ships, "Vostok III" and "Vostok IV".

Even if you re-cover their costs many times over in lowered fuel bills, you can still deduct the price you paid for them when you sell your house at a profit. Use rose fence to enhance home property If you'd like to add a fashi-onable touch to your home property, plant an everbloom-in-g rose fence Everblooming roses have two heavy bloom-ing periods, one in the spring or early summer and the other in the fall, usually with many flowers and lavish color in' be-tween these seasons. The modern rose blooms for an extraordinarily long period every year, longer than almost any flower that can be named. The rose fence can be part-icularly lovely and fashion-able and it requires only a moderate amount of care. One can have red, orange, white, pink, yellow, lavender and shades. Roses of dif-ferent colors may be mixed, or the fence may be solid with one color. In planting your rose fence, select varieties wisely. Climb-ing red roses along a white fence can afford a brilliant contrast. Other colors may also be used. Climbing roses may be pref-erable where they have such support as a masonry wall or wood or wire fence. Thick-growin- g rose plants such as Rosa Multiflora are not suit-able as a rose fence for small homes. Floribunda and grandiflora roses will grow into a living fence of striking color with-out support. Plant them close together, about two feet apart, using approximately 50 plants for a hundred foot fence. Your nurseryman can recommend varieties to grow to any desired height. A fence of roses growing on a trellis also can form a lovely background for the family swimming pool, at the same time giving privacy. The rose blooms are reflected in the water of the pool, making it even more inviting. According to the American Association of Nurserymen, some interesting effects are created with rose fences by planting them in short lengths 10 to 12 feet, at several loca-tions around the property. If correctly done this can give the effect of greater depth to the back yard, or garden liv-ing area, even though the lat-ter may, in fact, be quite small. Your nurseryman can adivse how to achieve this effect. - - 1 FERTILIZES lUWnih' C-- f ( CONDITIONS THE SOU L fHJ in 0E3E easy application ! iammmnmnrei !

Gardening can be enjoyable to the modern-da- y home planner brown. The blades should be made of high carbon or al-loy steel which makes them rugged so they won't chip when they hit a rock and hard, so that when the blades are sharpened, they will stay sharp for a long time. You can make and enjoy a garden that's a beautiful frame for your home with a little patience, a lot of enthu-siasm and these few pointers. Don't plant too deep. Small flower or vegetable seeds only need to be covered, when bare patches in your lawn, loosen two inches of soil fertilizer and sow. Too much fertilizer is much worse than using too little, so follow directions on the pack-age of a reliable manufactur-er. Overwatering washes nutri-ents out of the soil and helps spread fungi. Let , your turf dry almost to the wilting point between waterings, and then soak it to a depth of six in-ches. Mow your lawn, but don't "scalp" it. Set your mower at one and a half inches high; mow whenever the grass gets over two inches. If mower blades get dull, they'll split the tops, causing them to turn For the home remodeler, the use of wrought iron as room dividers, planters and valan-ces, gives a decorative touch to a small room. Usually when most home owners think of shade trees, they think of the maples, lin-dens, planes, magnolias, elms, and similar trees. There are many other species, less well-know- n but which have interest for many reasons, such as fol-iage color, bark color, struc-ture of limbs and twigs or flowering beauty. During disasters such as hurricanes and floods, millions of dollars in cash have been lost forever. Family assets in the form of Savings Bonds, however, are always protected since the Treasury replaces lost bonds without charge. . There are now 94,707 active 4-- H Clubs in the United States. These clubs carry on organized work in 3,094 coun-ties under the direction of nearly 11,000 county extension agents.
