The climax may not come for several weeks. But the coalition government of Premier Felix Gaillard is perilously shaky, Gaillard has, just won another vote of confidence in the; National Assembly, the controlling House of Parliament. But it was given to him only because leaders of the divergent Recog h it ion for Protfo Educator i lic service, Mrs. Ballif proved, in her acceptance address, that she is also exceedingly modest. "I do not merit this honor alone," she said. "I share it with the citizens of my community, with the board I have worked with for nearly a quarter of a century, with all the school people of the state who have given me the opportunities to serve..." Among those who came in for special recognition in her address was Dr. J. C. Mof f itt, Provo schools superintendent. "In May of 1937," she said, "I voted for Dr. Moffitt for superintendent. I am the only remaining member of that board of 1937. That is one decision which has done more for the children of Provo than any other decision of They Said .

He would be the first to argue that. His crime, with that of his companion Richard Loeb, was a terrible one. Has he paid enough for what he did? How you answer that depends partly on what you think constitutes adequate and proper punishment, partly on how you weigh the actual record and experiences of Leopold during his 33 J years in Stateville prison at Joliet, HI. Those who think capital punishco-murd- erer . -- within Stateville's walls is miles short of good, rewarding living. On top that Leopold emerges into freedom a diabetic taxed also with heart and kidney ailments. His span of free years may not be long. At first he was not a good prisoner. But most of his time he has compiled an impressive record of useful work and service. Those who believe that prison is a place not simply to punish but to rehabilitate can be easily persuaded by his performance tnat Leopold today is' fit to rejoin society. Certainly a wide range of prison experts believ that he is', for they so testified , My tax problems notice nobody ever refers to taxes except as problems?

Also, there's a longer range program of 19 pillion dollars having an impact over the next three to five years. First outlays from the long-ranprogram might also be available for spending in 1958. retails of these programs are still somewhat fuzzy. Many of them depend ott approval by Congress which may enlarge some of the figures. PRESIDENT EISENHOWER first out. lined this program in his weekend memorandum r to Republican Senate Leader William F. Knowland. Secretary of Labor James P.

Win a valuable prise. Send the letter selected. The whole world has been fascinated by the Sputniks that Rus-sJasent up and by the Explorer satellite launched by the United States. We know that, they have been sent up with various instruments inside of them end that science hopes to learn a great deal from what these instruments will detect and measure. ns One of the chief things we hope to learn is something more about cosmic rays. What are they? Where do they come from? The answers are still largely a mystery. About 50 years ago, scientists noticed a curious thing happening in t h e r experiments. When they had some air in . a closed vessel, they noticed there was always some electrical conductivity in the air, some electrical 'energy that appeared no matter how they tried to keep it out. When they surrounded the vessel with thick shields, the electrical energy diminished. This meant some kind of mysterious radiation, more penetrating than any they had. ever known before, was" entering that vessel from somewhere, For ten years, working like detectives, scientists tried to find the source of this l " other-device- . s ' . 1 rate. - ;; t I kept all the records demanded these days, pencils would be ground to ' a nub. Nowadays we must keep a three-dec- k checkbook. And also a ledger to prove we are not cheating the checkbook. Check and double-chec, "Tax man," I said. "In more simplified days, I did not even k. keep a checkbook. For the simple reason that I cashed my check 1 into cash across the street," "The man across the street kept track of my deductions. I gave him my check and he 4 de- ducted what I had run up on the cuff-- o during the week." "The tax people grabbed a handful before I got the check. Therefore, when the Ider of March rolled around, I simply filled in the short form and sent it back with best regards." "Ah," said the tax man, "you Me now In "a higher bracktt."

One was that the strength of the radiation increased the higher they went. The other was that it was the same night and day, so it couldn't be coming from the sun. Finally, after many experiments, it was proven that from outer space, approaching the earth from distances beyond the sun, there was a constant bombardment of tiny charged with electrical energy." These are what' we call cosmic particles rays, They are called "rays," but they are actuary particles' that travel at a speed almost equal to light! Some of them happen to approach the earth and enter the atmosphere. But high in the atmosphere most of the cosmic rays collide with atoms in the 'Sir. They thus create new particles, and these too come speeding down toward us. Even though we are still trying to understand what cosmic rays are and where they come from, science has used cosmic rays to help solve other problems. Certain theories about space and relativity and the composition of matter have been developed by using the "tracks" of cosmic rays in . various measuring f Instruments. But perhaps we are , on the verge of discovering the mystery of the cosmic rays with our satellites! . THE CHUCKLE BOX Mom: What was all that noise?

Several times in the past, it is recalled, home building brought the nation out of an economic slump and put it back on the road to recovery. According to the banking and brokerage firm of A. G. Becker & Co., there are signs that renewed hunger will be strongly encouraged for new homes and for rehabilitation of old ones. The government is boosting the home budding section of the economy and easier money rates together with less demand for money from other quarters combine to give it a push. The Becker firm believes that housing activity in 1958 should at least equal that of 1957, "and may well show some slight. gain." The firm notes regardless of whether an upward, turn materializes over the nearer term, it does appear at this juncture tifSt the worst of the downside correction has already occurred.
