The Brussels Post, 1958-02-19, Page 5LULL ON THE RANGE-Judging from the' looks of things, Danny Collins, 21/2 , is entitled to a little shuteye. It must •have been a fierce battle. Even though "TeX" Duck patrols at the rear, Danny, in old west tradition, keeps his hand on a six-shooter, as he sleeps, and has the rest of his arsenal, including a tommy gun, close by. Danny's parents caught him napping and summoned a photographer. Nancy Jack managed to take this picture and get away without being gunned down.

"One more week," mourned the crest- fallen Wall Streeter, "and I'd have had a bid froni the Rose Bowl!" -From Bennett Cerf's Cerfboard. You're Already On A Rocket Ship! You may not have realized it, but you're living on a space ship, According to Dr. James G. Gaume of the. Martin Company, "the earth itself (is) a giant space ship hurtling through space with a velocity of 18.0 miles per second." This is why man-made space ships that are designed for lengthy trips among the stars will have to simulate many of the physical characteristics and natural processes of the earth. Dr. Gaume told a space medi•L eine syinposium at the recent annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that because ou'r planet is such a good space ship ita principal sfeetures point _to those- Which must also be, in- eluded in 'man-made ships, .,„ "On this space ship (earth)," he explained, "we live in a closed ecological system sealed off by the earth's , gravity frem an unfriendly environment of space. "By this force of gravity, oxy- gen; water and other physically unattached matter essential to life is retined at the ssurface and is available for our use. The atinosphere.is also.00r ,protector, shielding us from such danger- ous space phenomena as meteor- ites, solar and cosmic sedition, whiCh are destroYed or attenu- ated in passage through the at- ,. mosphere. "In his attempts at flight into hostile space, man must provide himself with all the essentials of life found on earth." Dr. Gaume drew a distinction between short-term space flights and those of long duration, No lone is sure just where' this dish Unction should be drawn. How- ever, as a rough guess, Dr. Gaume said he would draw i( at a flight time of less than two or three weeks. In short-term flights, some of earth's vital functions can be Drive With' Care Back in the cultural history of Boston there was, once, a grand festival of something or other in which red-skirted firemen whanged sledges on anvils for a stirring presentation of the An- vil Chorus, and it must have been,a lot like an evening at the Cousins's. Somehow, without ever bring- ing it to the fore, I had a sub- jugated notion that I liked clocks. I didn't do anything about it the way Red has, but once we had a steeple clock with a pleasant manifestation of the hours, and when it collapsed ,I didn't throw it away. I set it on a beam in the barn thinking sometime I might give it a look or two and put it back in service. Truth is, I have often thought it might be fun to have a clock on the kitchen shelf that runs backwards, and chimes 22 at the half hour, and things like that, and I had• a half-idea I might somehow work out such a 'phe- nomenon. However, the clock is still on the beain; and we have modernized our household with an electric timepiece. We still have a galvanized dawn-buster in the bedroom to start us a-jumping on the new day. The only other clock we em- ploy is a kitchen gadget which doesn't strike the hettra, but does give off a chime if anybody sal- tiles the 'back door, It was sup- posed to do the same-for the front door, but a wire broke and I never fixed it. In short, we don't pay too much attention to the tithe or the front door, and this one Clad< takes care of us. , Mr. Cousins, having greeted Us and undertaken a narrative, had just said, "Arid there was this bobcat bearing down on poor Aunt Millicent, with her berry pail stuck on over her head, arid ." At this point it was eight o'efock. There ceninieneed a dainty jingling front' a blue Dres- den China contrivande on _the high-boy followed by a bellow or alarm from a Seth Thomas ih the front hall. Then all the others 5oined in, some fast, Same slbtv_ er., all unlike, and each adjusted to a different degree of notoriety. Mr. Cousins, being. at, hand, continued` to diSCiatteSe, but what- ever he said Was now Unheard. My Wife; after running twice around the library -tahle, sat- down again - and locked einbar- rassed, andsI fOund I had,, shoved one of my, decorous and dainty feet'between the rungs, of a kind of glass-topped'''. stoop table in such a west that the table could not remove itself and go, abOut its business. Suddenly the tumult was at an end; the last piercing' echo faded in the far confines of 'the kitchen; a gentle .delicacy of friendly quiet fell over the de- micile; apd once again Mr. Cousins's superbly modulated voice' was heard, saying, "... but Aunt Millicent was never known to pick' another 'blueberry from tlfat time on." This consequence raised in my mind a number of questions in social ethics. First, would it be all right' if I removed one shoe in this polite and hospitable par-' for in order to extricate myself, and if so, should I inquire, first, of my hostess if I might do so? "May I dip my bread in the bean juice?" is the sort of thing I mean. I never knew a hostess to say no to this reasonable re- quest,- however much it violates the true rules of gentility, but this might not be just the same. Then there was the matter of the oddity itself - was itproper to turn to Mr. Cousins at this time and ask about the state of his mental equipment, delving into the judgement, perspicacity, and relative humidity of any- body who would keep such a conglomeration of confusion? How does one become a Clock fancier for real? Why does one? And how long does it take to learn to live with the things? Frankly, the erudition .and abil- ity of Mr. Cousins is otherwise revelation of this clock mena- gerie insinuates certain doubts svhich tease the guest to wild thoughts of inquiry. Most of all, however, I re- flected On the story he had just told. Never before have Mr. Cousins's boyhood recollections, as related firsts to last, been in- terrupted in my presence, and I know that all of them have been guns of down-East hilarity, redolent With flavor and salty as they say, His gift. Of narrative is extreine, and ,one of the fine things about knowing him is the chance to hear hint Yet here was what may well have ,heeti one bf his finese ora- tions obscured totally by the hour of eight, and in dud process of events it Might- dharice that• there ..would never be another oc- cASiOh to hear this Shine story through, Should I ask him to re- peat it, timing himself SO the next starlit Of chlinea end' bongs Wettidit't'offend?"

Guida, of Home, treats more patients in a year than' a score of ordinary doctors put together, yet he has never seen one of them and he re. ceives rio fees for the treatment he prescribes, The reason is that this sixty- year-old Italian physician is a ship's doctor who never goes tp sea.. Ile treats his many Sailer patients entirely by short-wave radio, and he gives his services voD17. Guida started his free medical service for sailors back in 1935 when he heard that the crews of many ships at sea lack- ed medical aid. The authorities approved of his idea, and for the short-wave sending and re- ceiving set fitted up in his sur- gery he was allotted the call sign MEDRAD (Medical Radio) and CIRM (International Centre Radio Doct9r). So to-day, if a sailor in a merchantman at sea is stricken with an illness, the treatment of which is beyond the captain's -resources, he can call up MED- RAD CIRM for expert advice. If reception in Rome is poor other ships will relay his mes- sage. The captain can then de- scribe the patient's symptoms so the doCtor can make a diag- nosis and prescribe treatment. By keeping in radio touch with the ship the doctor can follow the course of the' ailment. Britain, too, has a free radio medical service for ships at sea, Operated by the Post Office Radio Stations at Land's End and Portishead, this free "med- ico service" enables ships' cap- thins to seek expert medical ad- vice and assistance at any time of the day or night. Early one ntorning the duty operator at Portishead Radio Station received an emergency call from a British freighter ploughing through stormy' seas in the Atlantic. A sixteen-year- Old deck boy had been suddenly taken ill, and. the captain recli- ned the lad's symptoms and asked for advice. The operator immediately got in touch with a local hospital and within an hour signalled the diagnosis of appendicitis re- quiring prompt surgery: No other ship in the freighter's vi- cinity possessed a doctor .or sur- gicaI facilities, So the ship head- ed for an Irish port at full Arrangements were made for a helicopter to meet her at sea, if necessary. But she made harbour, landed the°, patient 'by launch and he- was successfully operated on. The whole drama, in which the radio medicb service played a vital :part in Saving the boy's life, lasted for three and a half days. the approach so the ball was on my side of the net when it start- ed: I finished a sentence just as the first bleat of the china clock titillated the congenial scene, and then I closed my eyes and kept silent throughout. When quiet was again restored Mr. Cousins said, "I see you have noticed my clocks." He then spoke about them for a.time, telling us where each had originated and why he cherished it, and along about a quarter to ten I was able to invent several good and sufficient reasons why the visit should be terminated. As we drove away, with. Mr. and Mrs. Cousins waving from their door, the resounding background told us we were on time. - By John Gould in The Christian Science Monitor.

But all of them will be essential to flights longer than the two - to - three - week limit. ,For example, Dr. Gaume said that for short - term flights enough oxygen, chemical carbon dioxide absorbers, and. food and water can be stored on board to last out the flight, writes Robert C. Cower in .The Christian Sci- ence Monitor. But for long-term flights, he said that "the weight of such stored materials is likely to be prohibitive, at least for present and near-future propulsive sys,' terns." Therefore ,,he added, men will have to design "a closed system in which matter will be recycled over and over, thereby eliminat- ing the necessity of carrying large, quantities of 'stored 'es- sentials and accumulating large quantities of waste." This business of figuratively reproducing the earth in minia- ture in a space ship is exceeding- ly complex. Engineers are no- where near to having the neces- sary know-how to do it, On the othet hand, it seemed to be the cencensils Among space research exPerts here that prob- lems of reasonably short-term: space /light are close to being licked. And even if men are not yet ready for the twd-to-three- week flights, trips beyond the ettnoSphere are considered al- ready feasible for brief periods. In this connection, it was painted out, that Air Force Maj. DeAdd Simons, who rode *a bal- loon to 100,000 feet, spent hours at an altitude where for many purposes he was virtually living in space. It was also the consensus of the experts here •that there is no longer• any question of men traveling among the planets. It is only, a question of when they will be ready to do it. Trips around the moon could start within the next 20 to 30 years, they said. Meanwhile, as a few hand- picked experts prepare to go ad- venturing with the stars, the rest of us can join in the spirit of the space age by remembering that our old familiar planet is already the best possible space ship that could be built. Too Much Time On Their Hand$ Ministrations and portents be- ing favorable, we called the other evening on Red and Alice Cous- ins, who had •asked us to, and .we found out Red is a clock fan- cier. I never knew a clock fan- cier before, and the evening proved interesting, if not wholly enjoyable. That is to say, eight O'clock was all right, and nine o'clock wasn't too bad, but we left before ten. Ten o'clock would be too much, I know. Itch..1tch
