It is doubtful althey will be sleepy. But they have day, ready put in a gruelling almost every minute of which involved activity and intense concentration. And the first walk on the moon is expected to be as strenuous as the space walks that forced three astronauts to return to their ships before the scheduled time. This penod of relaxation is hardly the ultimate in ease because Armstrong and Aldrin have neither seats nor couches. Their four resting hours are spent curled up on the floor. But this is not too uncomfortable, since the reduced lunar gravity will eliminate much of the pressure of their weight. Earth control will ring the alarm clock at 9 p.m. on the 21st. Then the astronauts will eat again and prepare for the high point of their grand adventure: A walk on the moon. It takes them two hours to get ready.

CHAFFIN Deseret News Education Editor 30. Each one of the almost 50 city educators who completed their service careers this year deserve a vote of thanks and Im sure they would appreciate a good word from the patrons and pupils theyve served. There are three, however, to whom I want to say a special thanks. They are Dr. M. Lynn Bennion, city school superintendent; Arthur E.

THOSTESON, M.D. Dear Dr. Thosteson: A little girl aged 10 has suddenly shed all her eyelashes, top and bottom, in about three weeks. Now her eyebrows are beginning to shed. Can you tell me what is causing this? N.B.W. Answer: This youngster should be seen by her doctor or pediatrician to make sure she is in generally good health. The commonest cause of loss of lashes, odd as it may sound to you, is pluckthe child pulling them out ing them When this happens, it is what is called a compulsive neurosis. It is a nervous reaction of some sort. Hence, make sure she isnt bothered by something at school, at home, or with playmates. Blepharitis, an inflammation of the eyelids, is another possible cause (which the doctor would check). There is also a condition called alopecia areata, which means localized spots of lost hair. This occurs mainly in the scalp. (In time it corrects itself.) But it can on occasion account for loss of and eyebrows. There isnt much to do about that, except wait ior the hairs want? A graduate of Skyline High a year ago and now just back from his first year at the Juilliard School in New York, Judd attracted a more than capacity audience to the Salt Lake Library Au- ditorium Thursday evening. Adding to the pleasure of the recital was the excellent singing of Judd's aunt, Patricia Judd Stone. As she has always done, she again disclosed that she is a sensitive and stylish singer with beauty of tone and dramatic impact And bless em both for beginning the recital at the pleasant hour of 7 oclock! A large portion of the audience was, unfortunately, late but the starting time had nothing to do with this. The latecomers we have with us always even, Im sure, if the recital started at midnight. And congratulations are in order to Mrs. Stone, who didnt waver a single note despite the thoughtlessness of some latecomers trying to find seats even while she was singing. Let criticism pause. Judd opened his portion of the program with Handels Sonata No. 4 in D. He showed, naturally, some signs of tenseness in the first movement. Although it was a clear and disciplined account, it did not have quite the mature conception of the three movements that followed. Here, precisely because they had been thoroughly mastered and assimilated with the strain of nervousness gone, matters of technique, style, and interpretation could be forgotten, and the work allowed to emerge in a fresh and compelling fashion. Mozart Sonata No. 4 in E Minor followed. The Allegro movement was remarkable for preserving strength and shape, and the Tempo di Menuetto movement was not only exposed with clarity of line, but also allowed to develop naturally, giving an impressive sense of unity Both Dr.. Bennion to grow in again. Dear Dr. Thosteson: My wife has a bad cause of sinusitis. A doctor told her it will be better for her to have an operation. I am interested in knowing about climate, and whether it will aggravate or help the condition. C.R.

The important causes of sinus trouble obstruction, poiyps, chronic Infection arent caused by weather, and they wont be cured by changing cli- nificant contributions to Utah education.

Judd In the Brahms Sonatensatz seemed equally at home, and produced an enchanting performance. His playing Sonata of the humorous Charles Ives No. 4 on camp and revival themes was inclined, perhaps, to a bit of fussiness, but it will soar with freedom one of Romanza these playings. Sarasates was played with verve, arAndaluza ticulation, and an intriguing thistledown touch in the delicate passages. Judd closed the recital with the third movement of Wieniawski's Concerto for Violin in D Minor which he enhanced with warm tone quality and the flexibility of his phrasing. Judds homecoming recital was impressive in showing the variety and range of his powers, and the high level of his artistic standards. in the As assisting artist and violin sonatas and accompanist in Judd's other solo selections, and also as accompanist to Mrs. Stone, Lennox Larson was again eminently pianistic from first note to last.

Mr. Kaplan predicted some kind of guaranteed annual wage in America by 1972 which would release people from the struggle for material wealth. (Note to Mr. Nixon: Sounds like the . Democrats are going back in office next time around.) Let me quote Mr. Kaplan directly: We are about to embark upon a great new era. As I see it, people will be more secure. They will rely more on , logic and science and less on politics. There will be less war and more trust in the world with people more willing to ' accept each others cultural mores. Lets hope he is right, but it does bring to mind an old expression: Tell it to the Marines. And we might as well throw in Tell it to the Chinese." He does admit that there is another ; school of thought which believes that man will eventually destroy himself. So that leaves you and me holding the ' stick.
