Views About Mars
It there are living plants and
*Illinois on the red planet Mars,
they seem to have made no at-
tempt to show themselves to as-
tronomers last fall when Mars
swung closer to the earth than
it has been for 32 years.
According to Carl Sagan of the
Yerkes and McDonald Observa-
tories of the University of Chi-
cago, the "seeing" conditions for
studying Mars were excellent.
But none of the vivid greens and
blues that have previously been
reported during the height of the
Martian spring; which were ta-
ken as evidence of some sort of
plant growth, were observed.
In a report delivered to the
Beciety for the Study of Evolu-
tion at the annual meeting of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science here in
New York, Mr. Sagan explained
that previous evidence for life
en Mars was based on three
types of observations.
First there have been seasonal
color changes in dark areas on
the Martian surface which co-
.
Incided with the melting of the
polar ice cap. Then there were
seasonal erratic changes in the
adze of these dark areas. Finally,
there has been the observed re-
appearance of the dark areas
after being overlaid by what is
thought to be sand or dust from
a dust storm.
All of these phenomena have
been taken to indicate some sort
of plant growth writes Robert C.
Cowen in The Christian Science
IVIonitor.
However, Mr. Sagan now says

Will I be glad when this King
Arthur phase is over:"
that observations made during
this recent favorable approach
Of the red planet by Dr. G. P.
Knipe; who is also at the Uni-
versity of Chicago, suggest that
the color changes may have been
illusory.
Dr. Kuiper had some very
clear views of Mars. - But the
dark areas seemed an almost'
uniform gray when compared
with a color chart illuminated
by daylight quality light, Occa-
sionally, Mr. Sagan said, there
were some faint traces of green -
blue pastels. But the most defi-
nite color was a brown ring
around the melting polar ice
cap, which had been previously
reported.
The significance of these ob-
servations can be seen from the
fact that the size changes in the
dark areas or.their reappearance
after a dust storm would be
equally well explained as the ef-
fect of sand drifting over vitre-
ous lava fields. Thus,. it has been
the color changes. more than
anything else that have suppor-
ted theories of Martian vegeta-
tion in the past.
Perhaps, Mr. Sagan suggested,
this was a bad growing year on
Mars. Perhaps the vegetation
dried up and thus was not par-
ticularly noticeable. Certainly,
he said, brighter and more easily
observed color changes than
were seen this year have been
reported by reliable observers in
the past. But, while this may
very well have been the ca re the
new data shows that a good deal
more thought and study has to
be made before any reasonably
sound conclusions can be drawn
about life on Mars.
How Can ?
Q. ElOw can I clean windows
during freezing weather?
A. If the weather is so cold
that water cannot be applied to
the windows without freezing,
dampen a piece of cheesecloth
with kerosene and the windows
can be cleaned quickly.
Q. How can I keep quinces?
A. Place them carefully • in
a barrel, using only perfectly
sound fruit. Fill the barrel with
water, fasten on the head of the
barrel and put in a cool place.
They should keep fresh all win-
ter.

Too Much Nagging
ad for Children
The note from the school nurse
read: "Linda J. in Grade 10 has
started biting her nails again.
She looks unhappy and depress-
ed. I suspect her parents are
pushing her too hard."
Linda's records showed she
was the youngest of three girls.
One older sister was a nurse, the
other a high school teacher. Her
father was an accountant; her
mother had been a public school
teacher. Despite her parents' ac-
tive interest in education, Lin-
da's school progress had been
average. However, she was not
doing badly, since intelligence
tests rated her as "dull normal".
When Linda was interviewed
in Grade 9, I'd noted she was
eager to please, but timid. She
was an "over -achiever" — one
who does better work than her
mental ability would suggest she
• was capable of. rd discovered.
she made her progress in school
only by ' dint of exceptionally
long home study. • •
When I sent fOr Linda, her
• nails were bitten to the quick;
her face bore a haggard, down-
cast expression. So anxious was
she for help, she did not hesi-
tate to discuss family relation -
snips.
Her parents had determined to
provide each of the children with
as good an education as their
finances could stand. The two
&der girls had lived up to ex-
pectations; the parents were jus-
tifiably proud of them. They
could not hide their disappoint-
ment at Linda's relative lack of
achievement. They kept urging
her to study harder. And they
were ashamed she •attended vo-
cational school, instead of a col-
legiate. Linda, unable to take
any pride in her school accom-
plishments, felt guilty and re-
jected — because her parents
expected her to follow exactly
in her sisters' footsteps.
I thought of Edna, who knew
that her father preferred her
older sister. Marilyn, because
'she was prettier and more tal-
ented in music. Edna did not
bite her fingernails. She vented
her emotions through petty
thievery, --which landed her in a
family court.
1 thought of Jimmy, potential-
ly a brilliant scholar. He neglec-
ted school work in a vain effort
to become a star athlete, as his
older brother had been, because
Jimmy's father placed more im-
portance on athletic prowess
than school marks.
Fortunately, Linda case had a
happy ending. Her parents were
not stupid. Led to realize they
• had been expecting too much,
they relaxed the pressure. Her
marks actually increased slightly.
Linda stayed at school until she
completed Grade 12, then went
to work in an office. She is still
not a quick or original thinker,
but she is net, painstaking,
loyal. Her work is appreciated;
•be is happy.
Not all children are as fortu-
nate. Edna grew into a bitter,
Vindictive woman, looking on
the world with a cold, hostile
'eye. jimmy realizes now he
should have stayed in school, in-
stead •of dropping out in eisap-
pointrnent because his athletic
• ambitions failed. .•
Children need the constant;
love and confidence of their par-
ents. If the parents openly prefer
• one child to another, if they fail
to recognize that each child is an
individual with his own strength
and his own weaknesses, if they
try to force their own standards
of accomplishment on the child,
the results May be disastrous.
Linda's parents failed to ap-
preciate their youngest daugh-
ter's many excellent qtialities of
character, while expecting her
• to excel one ee- academic ach-
