Not the least of these has been the provision of physical facilities for the tremendous number of men and machines poured into that country. This problem is being met, with dollars, yes, but more im- -. portent, with the energy, skill and ingenuity of groups of military and civilian specialists. At places with names like Cam Rahn Bay, Bien Hoa and Marble Mountain there was nothing but untamed areas not long ago. Military construction units turned them into massive bases, converted jungfo scrub and sand dunes into operating airfields, mess halls and workshops, in a matter of weeks.

Helm. The program was the third in a series arranged by Miss Elizabeth Jankus, vice president and program chairman. The material is provided by the Rocky Mountain Federation of Gem and Mineral Societies of which the DPGMS is an affiliate. in PSEUDOMORPHISM rocks and minerals is the substitution or gradual removal of the original substance atom by atom and the corresponding replacement of a new substance without reaction between the two, that is, the new mineral has the crystal form of one species and the chemical composition of .another. Typical pseudomorphs are malachite in die form of cuprite, barite in the form of quartz and limonite in the form of pyrite. In such cases, the evidence seems to be that there has been a complete chemical and molecular change but without change in the outward form. Pseudomorphs are sometimes crystals in disguise as when the cubes of pyrite have altered to cubes of goethite pseudomorphs of goethite after pyrite. Exceptional specimens of this kind are often found at Pelican Point near Utah Lake. PERHAPS THE most familiar example of a pseudomorph is petrified wood. Here the wood cells have been altered by infiltration of quartz (silica) or even by opal. On one slide shown, an opal pseudomorph after wood from Idaho, the replacement was sufficiently detailed to allow a botanist to identify the wood as oak. Pseudomorphs of agate and opal after wood occur in many parts of Utah, particularly in Grand County in die areas oil the Green and San Rafael rivers, and around Cisco, Crescent Junction, and Moab (Dead Horse Point). Pseudomorphs after barite occur in the hills east of Highway 160. Other petrified wood is also found in Emery County (Woodside), Kane County (Kanab), and Wayne County (Hanksville). Of particular interest to the club viewers was slide' No. 20 from Utah, showing the alteration at magnetite (iron oxide FE3E4) to hematite (FE2E3) with a higher proportion of oxy- By CALCITE (calcium carbonate, CaC03) crystals tend to be prismatic and pointed. Clear, colorless, flawless crystals are known as Iceland spar. K unique characteristic of this variety is that it is possible to read through a specimen- more than two indies thick. In certain directions the letters appear doubled or having a ghostlike effect, but as the specimen is rotated the print merges into a single row. Calcite has a hardness of 3 on Mohs scale in contrast to the 7 hardness of quartz. Because of the crumbling nature of the material, the hardness test is not always reliable. Since calcite is one of die softer minerals it is more to be treasured for its beauty of form and delicacy of color than for its monetary value. While calcite is usually colorless, this is not necessarily the case. A local variety, found between Tim pie and Wendover, is in a beautiful banded effect. More on the subject of petrified wood is promised for the next session of the dub, April 20. Father John F. Kenny Poitiers and Tours provided the cure For the Saracens' farthest advance.

Spanish-America- n War Alive Today Just 68 years ago, the USS Maine was blown up in Havana Harbor, Cuba. There were 26 officers and 328 men aboard; 252 died immediately and eight died of injuries afterward. Two months and six days later, the United States was at war with Spain. Compared with the two great wars in this century which saw nearly five million men under arms in 1918-1- 9 and 165 million in World War II, the total of 392,000 participants in the War seems small indeed.

Horn Office By Chap. (Maj.) John J. Kenny For his trustworthiness and meekness Cod selected him from all mankind. Sirach Chapter 45. As these words are written the nation celebrates St. Patricks Day and everyone rejoices, (but not everyone with due prudence) on this feast which is so dear to the hearts of Hibernians. For is this annual celebration restricted to the Emerald Isle or to Fifth Avenue; for the sons of Erin have emigrated all over the world and their more lovable characteristics have endeared them to many peoples and countries. To paraphrase the immortal words of Winston Churchill: it is doubtful if the world owes so much to any other nation so small in number, except perhaps the Hebrews. No one could properly assess the nature, influence or history of the Irish people without taking into account the glorious St. Patrick himself. Even after all the legend and embroidering have been removed there remains enough of the authentic hero to astound us. Patrick takes his place almost with Paul and Moses as one of the greatest missionaries of all times. What a man it must have been to have come up from slavery and yet, later, lead an entire pagan nation to Christianity and this without the least evidence of violence, pressure, bloodshed, or force but all in the gentle spirit of penance and peace. That these people have, through the centuries, in spite of persecution and even the swonl, kept that Faith inviolable and. undiminished is undoubtedly a tremendous tribute to its original source. And even yet, Ireland, small as it is, sends forth missi oners to the four corners of the globe in numbers out of all proportion to its size. Now whether St. Patrick actually recited the entire Psalter on his knees every night as some claim or performed the many other surpassing mortifications attributed to him, the feet is that he was a Saint. In any event, his heroic labors were an efficacious symbol, of his simplicity, his intense of his union with Cod, his long purgatory of perseverprayer-lifance, of his patience, his dependence upon Providence, of his humility; the very color of Ireland bespeaks hope and optimism. And these are the qualities that make up a saint. There is a saying that there are two classes of people (no doubt this was made up liy an Irishman): those who are Irish and those, who wish they were. In reality, St. Patrick, like every Saint, belongs to the whole human race and everyone of good will should rejoice in what he meant and continues to mean for the betterment of the world that Cod sent him to bless. Cod gave us saints to show us what can lie done with our poor human nature when one learns how to really love; he gave us saints to show us the way; he gave us saints to imitate. As the Psalmist says: The Lord is admirable and praiseworthy in his saints. CORPORATION UH enr 72 EAST 4th SOUTH 521-32- 70 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE APPOINTMENT STANLEY M. .
