It was one of the first synchronous electrics. We were intrigued by the simple, ingenious mechanism and faslna-ted faslna-ted by the slow, steady sweep of the red second hand. This gave us a new sense of the passing of time. Before that, clocks had seemed to cut time up Into little bits. There was no sense of continuity. Second hands usually moved in jerks; pendulums pendul-ums swung back and forth, pausing pau-sing at the end. of each stroke before starting back. The escape mechanism stopped still between each measured flick. Movement of the hour and minute hands was, of course, Imperceptible. But this clock was different. It had no escapement in the old sense, but rather a rotor wheel which whirred continuously In a magnetic field, its segments pulled pull-ed and pushed alternately In response res-ponse to the Impulses that came over the wires sixty times each second, causing It to turn just so fast and no faster and no slower. After watching that second hand a while, grandpa said, "To me, that is the most Inexorable thing. It shows the passing of time in a way that is maddening. If only it would move faster, or slower, or maybe turn backwards." We smiled smil-ed and recalled the poetic words, "Backwards, turn backwards, Oh time in your flight". But neither of us felt amused. The motion of that second hand suggested something not at all funny, not even comprehensible. It brought home to us a sense of the reality people fear, and like to ignore. Philosophers say the human mind cannot face reality. It will crack up, go mad, or seek out any sub-trefuge sub-trefuge Instead. But it cannot face stark reality, for In that Is the blackness of annihilation. Even If all our fondest dreams were true, there lies beyond them, nothing. Synchronous electric clocks are In universal use today, but unhappy un-happy is he who watches that moving second hand too long. It's such a fragile thing, but beyond It Is all the power In the wires, By Dick Morrison and "beyond them is the mighty powerhouse where generators turn with throbbing roar. Still further is the mountain stream dashing, down to turn the turbines, and then the wind and clouds and storms; and planets wheeling a-round a-round the sun all hurtling thru space and time to none knows where. And that little second hand is in dual-rapport with them all The power that moves it, and the lime it measures, both are the stuff of the cosmos, and they yield not to human will. If only It could be hastened or retarded! The soul in anguish may cry out that time pass quickly; but it will not. The moment of beauty If only It could be prolonged! pro-longed! but time cannot be slowed for that. Time is the fourth dimension. To exist, a thing must have length, breadth, depth, and time. You cannot can-not conceive of motion without mass, old mathematicians said. Nor can you conceive of matter without time. Just try it. In the strange world of relativity, relat-ivity, though, does time progress? Or is it that time stands still while all else moves through it? The questions just cannot be answered. answer-ed. Time and space perhaps are one, though who can say If they are or not. Time could have had no beginning, for it would be ansurd to say there was no time before that. Such thoughts lead to nothing. They are too realistic. But they are the kind of thoughts that come to mind when one watches wat-ches that fragile second hand too long; for the forces behind it are the inexorable incomprehensible forces of eternity. . Reading Matter For all that has been done with film and record the fact remains that printed books are still the best means of storing and conveying convey-ing knowledge. There is no substitute sub-stitute for a good library. It is surprising, too, the variety of subjects one can come upon, therein, as discovered anew the other day when I had a lot of time to browse about the Salt Lake Public Library. I went In to get some works by Keynes, and got them, and may want to have something to say about them later Here's the Place to Go ; for your HOLIDAY ! V Ninaf? I Uui HvJUaf Cswi.

Afu-r I've uIijJ.. ..iiu uiid written a lot about the theories of John Maynard Keynes, when you consider that I've never yet read any of his books, but have only picked up what others said about them, and from that decided decid-ed that he is some 90 wrong, though, still some 10 right, with that 10 of Tightness holding the keys to some of our most pressing problems. So it seemed high time to go and get his books and let the man speak for himself. And having gotten them, I got to leafing through the card indexes of the library and you'd never guess what all I found. It seems people have written "books about the most outlandish things, as well as some of the most landish. Just for a starter, I ran upon a book about Earthworms in Europe. Eu-rope. Now, there's a subject for you. One might suppose earthworms earth-worms would be earthworms, anywhere any-where on earth, "but it seems they are not. The European kin-d must be distingushed in some manner, else nobody would take the trouble to write a book about them, for writing a book can only be an arduous task, not to be undertaken un-dertaken without adequate provoc ation. Then there was a book named-ed named-ed Four Jills In A Jeep. Since not everybody could be pleased with anyone book, It would seem this one might appeal to some few who wouldn't want to read about European Earthworms. Me, I didn't take out either of them. Easy Intiations is another title, albiet to te z albiet a superfluous one in my opinion. Initiations aren't supposed suppos-ed to be easy; the rougher the better. Maybe the author should have written up something called Unforgettable Initiations instead. I doubt Easy ones can ever become be-come a best seller. So for we've only been looking at random. Now let's take up some particular subjects. Let's see. A, B, C, - here. Cats. Bet you never thought there would be books about cats, tut there sure are. The cat section is terrific. Cats in Literature, Cats in Music, Cats in Prose and Verse, are three titles. Who'd ever thought cat's would be mixed up in those things? Theres even one named Cats in Our Lives. Then we find Cats Have Tall Shad ows. Cats and People, Cats Prowl At Night, The Cat's Whisker, and The Cats Company. Nice Kitty section, sec-tion, wouldn't you say? Beyond comes Cattle, with the Cattlemen's Invasion of Wyoming in 1S92. But that's another subject. Perhaps the biggest single section sec-tion of all is the How books. These may be divided, roughly, into two categories, the How To Books, and the How Come Books. All are good To take a few of the How To's i.it, we c-uine upon Huw To Keep Out of Trouble, How To Travel Incognito, and How To See Eeasts; three stimulating works for people who need them, obviously. How To Stop Killing Yourself, looks interesting, interes-ting, as do How To Sleep Witehout Pills 'and How To Spend Wisely. On the subject of spend, there's also one telling How To Spend your Husband.s leisure, certainly a most annoying treatise from the victims' standpoint. Dale Carnegie is there with his most famous of the How To books, the one on How To Win Friends And Influence people. Every library lib-rary would have that, but we find a group with different purposes. Peter Storme and Paul Stryfe have written' How To Torture Your Friends, while H. T. Webster contributes con-tributes two more Torture books, one applicable to the wife, the other the husband. I asked for the book by Storme and Stryfe, but was told it was out, being much in demand, indicating, as the Russians Rus-sians would conclude that- torturing tor-turing friends is a popular American Amer-ican pastime. I did manage to borrow a swell How To, though. It's called How To Protect Yourself Against Women Wo-men and Other Vicissitudes, by Morton. It isn't that I need to protect myself against women. Never did, and they never needed much protection against me, either But the Vicissitudes annoy me half to death, so I got it for that. Haven't read it yet. When I do will let you know. A pair in logical progression au-pear au-pear under the titles, How To Get A Job, and How To Get A Better Job. These are by two different writers, and, if you ask me, the aspiring reader might as well save time by starting with the better job first. Unless, of course he wants to get on the ground floor and work up. But here, why take either of them? How To Grow Rich, should be just as good, and How To Stay Rich even better. Why bother to work when a book gives this information in-formation in ten easy lessons? That leaves us with little space, and a few of the How Come Books to go. How We Live, How We Think, and How We Went To War are three. You can have them, a-long a-long with, if you like, How We Are Born, How We Are Clothed, How We Are Sheltered, and How We Become Personalities. That sort shuld be just the ticket for the cradle-to-grave social planners. My search only scratched the sur face and I left feeling, first, that I'd hate to have to read all the book in the list, and second, that what the Salt Lake Library needs most is an air conditioning system. Cb&i Ci.Ls 4- News The Chore Girls held a meeting July 6th at the home of Sharon Steele. We talked about our 4-H outing and afterwards we made French toast.
