IT’S A FACT that families with television sets in Italy far
outnumber families with bathrooms there.... YOU know
those little jars of baby food? Just 36 cents out of every Si’s
worth pays for the glass .... NO ACTIVIST in the Women’s
Lib should forget the female halibut outweighs her husband by
10-1.
BARNYARD CHICKENS taste better than those birds
raised mechanically in antiseptic coops. That’s the claim of a
Wisconsin scientist. Germs are why. Chickens that are
immaculate inside and out, he reports, tends to be somewhat
flavorless. He prefers those with a smidgeon of bacteria. Can
understand that. Pure distilled water tastes pretty flat.
“WHEN THE WOMAN who opens the door squints at me,”
says a direct salesman who makes his living cold-canvassing
neighborhoods, “1 know she won’t let me in the house.
Squinters never say yes.” .... HOW MANY DISHES did you
break last year, young lady? Nine, I presume. That’s the
national average among married girls in their
twenties.... JOE JOHNSON ot Temple, Texas, contends no
horse ever won the Kentucky Derby. Might say that. The
Derby is for 3-year-olds. It’s not a horse until it’s 5,
technically.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “No doubt a highly traveled
old boy like yourself has been to Fish, Ga., and Turtle, Mo.,
and Oyster, Va., right?” A. No, sir, have not yet made it to
those fascinating municipalities. Nor to Rice, Kans., or Corn,
Okla., or Pie, W. Va., or Tomato, Ark., or Cucumber, W. Va.
Intend to get to them all someday, however. .. .Q. “How
much do we spend on the various gambling games every year?”
A. About $7 billion, not counting weddings.
OUR HOUSEHOLD HINTS specialist is troubled. Looking
for answers to: 1. Is it better to clean a little every day or
make one big job of it once a week? 2. Can some routine cut
down refrigerator leftovers so you don’t feel so guilty when
you throw good food away? 3. How do you arrange a linen
closet so you don’t wind up using the same towels all the
time? Please advise.
TRANSLATE a book from English into Spanish, French,
German or Russian, and it will come out about 25 per cent
longer. Translate a book from any of these languages into
English, and it will come out about 25 per cent shorter. Quite
concise, English, really.
A STUDY OF the statistics over the last 10 years shows the
young men and their ladyfriends seem to be waiting just a
little bit longer to get married. Average groom used to be age
22 plus. Now he’s age 23 plus. Average bride used to be just a
shade over 20. Now she’s just a shade under 21. Why the
change?

Mars and Jupiter.
The evening stars are Mercu
ry and Saturn.
Those born on this day are
under the sign of Aries.
Movie star Mary Pickford
was born April 8, 1893.
On this day in history:
In 1513 Ponce de Leon of
Spain landed at what is now St.
Augustine, Fla., in his search
for the Fountain of Youth.
In 1917 Austria and Hungary
severed diplomatic relations
with the United States, two
days after America declared
war on Germany.
In 1952 President Harry
Truman ordered government
seizure of the steel industry to
avert a general strike.
In 1963 President John
Kennedy made Britain’s Sir

U.S. offering to rent
pollution "spy" satellite
By EDWARD NEILAN
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - The
United States will be the first
nation to offer rent-a-satellite
service for monitoring of
pollution.
A modification of the spy-in
the-sky satellites used to spot
military installations in
Communist China and North
Vietnam will be launched next
year by the National
Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration.
Instead of snooping for
military secrets, the satellite
will collect and transmit data
on water and air pollution.
The United States intends to
lease time on the satellite to
any nation that asks — and
pays —for it.
Although the first satellite
will cover only North and South
America, NASA says it stands
ready to launch the four or five
additional satellites that would
be required for a complete
global pollution watch.
The program is called earth
resources technology satellite.
It has been under development
for a number of years.
In 1969, President Nixon told
the United Nations General
Assembly that the United
States would share data from
the program and welcomed
more international cooperation
in such space endeavors.
Nations interested in
receiving the information
would not actually be renting
the satellite, but would be
sharing its services, much as in

THE CAPITAL TOUCH
computer time-sharing.
All or part of the data on each
country surveyed by the
satellite would be available to
clients. So far, 43 countries —
including Japan, Australia,
New Zealand, India and
several Latin American
nations — have signed up for all
or part of the service.
Rep. Joseph E. Karth, D-
Minn., chairman of the un
manned space program sub
committee of the House
Committee on Science and
Aeronautics said that so far no
agreement on such information
services had been signed with
the Soviet Union or any other
Communist country.
Karth, who revealed latest
details of the satellite pollution
monitoring service at a recent
international conference, said
there is scant possibility of the
information being used for
military intelligence purposes.
Photographs containing
some of the information to be
gathered by the satellite are
already available from high
altitude aircraft and from the
Apollo space flights, Karth
said. Some of these
photographs have enabled
experts to make rapid
diagnosis of forest blight.
Karth said aerial
photography limitations were
such that it would take a
thousand planes flying around
the-clock schedules to match
the area surveyed by the
satellite.
Tbe satellite will orbit the
earth once every 59 minutes
and will permit numerous
observations of, for example,
the Mississippi River system at
approximately the same hours
every day. This will help
determine the incidence of
pollution and other factors
threatening the environment.
The satellite will employ a
half-dozen sensors, which will
provide the equivalent of black
and white photographs, color
photographs, and infrared
shots needed to pierce the cloud
cover. The sensors are ex
pected to provide more com
plete data than the photographs
taken by existing satellites.
Instead of televising the
photographs back to earth as at
present, computers in the new
satellite will extract in
formation collected each 24
hours for relay to computers on
the ground.
Experts will, in effect,
reconstruct the images
reported from space and then
describe the findings in non
technical language to client
countries.
Experts believe the methods
will be useful in constant
monitoring of the polar ice caps
which would allow accurate
predictions of the spring
runoffs and identify potential
flood areas.
The first pollution
monitoring satellite will
become obsolete in about a
year. Karth said the ex
pectation is that technology
will continue to provide more
and more sophisticated data
gathering satellites to replace
outdated ones.

f
trouble
me suggest a procedure for you.
If you decide to build a house,
you first make your plans,
make the necessary financial ar
rangements, get a contractor
and begin the house by laying
the foundation first. Make this
plan: turn over everything to
God and determine in your
heart that you will do His will,
regardless of the apparent cost.
Lay die right foundation fay ask
ing God to show you every step
you should take. This may mean
discipline of your child. It may
mean making restitution for
something he has done. It may
mean acknowledgement that
you yourself have failed both
God and your child. But, re
gardless of what it is, determine
to follow God’s leading in the
matter. When you do this, you
will have fulfilled God’s
requirements, and, you can rest
assured that He will help you
and lead you to the way.
God can use this trouble to bring
you and your child both to Him.
The Apostle Paul tells us that
nothing, absolutely nothing, can
separate us from the love of
God. Sin separates us from God
but not from His love. Surren
der to Him completely and He
will give you peace.
