shipped into Athens immediately
and stored with the Rowe Ware
house Co., until it can be placed
in the plant.
In addition to the manufacture
of paper milk cartons and other
food containers which Dairypak
will make from huge rolls of
heavy paper shipped to them,
Dairypak is also bringing with
them another smaller industry, a
manufacturer of electrotype plates,
which Dairypak uses. Originally
this electrotype plant, with a few
employes, will occupy a small por
tion of the Dairypak plant, but
as Dairypak gets into full opera
tion the electrotype plant is ex
pected to put up its own building
nearby. No paper, it was pointed
out, will be made in Athens, but
'will be shipped in and converted
into containers. It was also point
ed out that there is no odor of any
kind about any of the manu
facturing operations.
- The Athens Industrial Develop
ment Corporation organized by the
Chamber of Commerce to aid in
the location of new industries in
Clarke county is participating with
Dairypak in construction of the
plant, Approximately 200 Ath

veloping Athens industrially will
be welcomed as stockholders, it

) Fine Type of Industry
G. A. Booth, president of the
Athens Industrial Development
Corporation said yesterday
“Dairypak represents one of the
finest types of industry Athens

owned by two other large com
panies with total assets well in
excess of a hundred maillion dol
lars”.
“We are delighted to have them
in Athens” said R. M. Snow, pres
ident of the Chamber of Com
merce. They will receive a warm
welcome, and immediately they
will become one of the family.
“Athens is on its way to great
things industrially we ‘believg”
continued Mr. Snow. “Two other
industrial enterprises are now
checking on Athens as a possible
location, and we are werking with

While much material progress
had been made in that time, he
stated that “on the spiritual side
we are much poorer. Physically,
the world has become one parish,
but we have not yet learned the
art of living together.
“We look to the past with dis
appointed hopes, and we survey
the future with fear and appre
hension. If man’s spiritual side
could only be developed in keep
ing with his material progress, the
end of the century would see the
beginning of the millenium.”
As part of the opening cere
monies, there was a procession of
men and women representing the
61 nations present. Dressed in a
variety of costumes, they contri
buted a demonstration of cosmo
politan Christianity. There were
such contrasting pairs as an Arab
youth walking down the hall with
an American girl, and a tail Scoot
tish lad in kilts with a small wo
man from India in a long wide
robe.

PLANETARIUM USES
THEATRICAL TRICKS
NEW YORK—“We have to com~
pete with Broadway and therefore
use a great many theatrical tricks
in order to put on a good show . ..”
Robert R. Coles, acting chair
man of the Hayden Planetarium,
was describing during an inter
view how he and his staff of
lecturers have to inject Buck Rog
ers-like drama into the star-stud
ded shows at the planetarium.
“The planetarium lecturer is as
much an actor as an astronomer,”
he continued. “He must be able
to put on a show by creating word
pictures, building suspense. The
planetarium technician has an
equally important role in building
up effects—moon horizons, move
ments of the stars, etc.”
"~ Passengers on a ‘Flight’
The current show, “Trip to the
Moon,” is a case in point. Rather
than a dull relation of celestial
and lunar data, those in the audi
ence become “passengers” on a
flight to the moon by rocket. They
are handed sheets of paper “brief
ing” them on clothes and equip
ment to take, the conditions they
will find on arrival, ete.
The lecturer continues this “sub
jective” approach, depicting the
rocket flight in presonal terms for
the audience.
But beneath all this dramatic
covering is a solid core of celes
tial information given out during
the lectures, Mr. Coles emphasizes.
This way the audience hardly
knows it is swallowing statistics.
Many astronomers speak in such
high sounding terms that they
“scare” people, the planetarium
acting chairmian says. Phrases such
as the “obliquity of the ecliptic”
and “the precession of the equi
noxes” are enough to drive anyone
out of a planetarium.
- Picture Always Changing
“And yet when facts about the
stellar universe are told in every
day language one doesn’t have to
be an astronomer to enjoy the
beauty and majesty of the skies,”
| . .

George A, Sancken, ir,, of Au
[gusta, has been made regional
'chairman of the Eorden Com
pany’s South Atlantic region fol
lowing Borden’s acquiring of the
Sancken Dairy Enterprises Thurs
day, according to an Associated
Press story from New York.
Borden Company announced
that it had acquired the Sancken
Dairy Enterprises through “an ex
change of stocks and other con
siderations.”
The companies acquired are
Georgia-South Carolina Dairies,
Augusta; Dixie Dairies, Macon
and Albany, Ga.; Richland Dairies,
Columbia, S. C.; Greenwood

Hancock Creamrery, Sparta, Ga.
The wife of Mr. Sancken is the
former Miss Sarah Q’Farrell, a
quarters, and as soon as there is
a sufficient number, the Athens
unit will be officially activated.
Members who turn in applica
tions and pay the membership
dues of $1.50 will be given a free
plane ride over the city. The
planes used for these rides are
being donated by other members
of the organization.
Again it is stressed that mem
bers do not have to fly in order
to get in the Civil Air Patrol.
There are many ways a person can
help out without flying. If a per
son has a desire to do a part in the
defense program, the C. A. P. is
one way a person can. :

eclipses, or the conjunction of the

“The sky picture is always
changing. It is as interesting for
a layman to observe as the unfold

departure of migratory birds.”
" In addition to their other duties,
the stellar experts at the plane
tarium are bombarded with ques

queries are:
“I am writing a novel. The scene
is the 16th of April, 1946. Was
there a full moon that night?”
Answer: “Yes.”
“What is a four-letter word
meaning a star in the constellation
of Cetus the Whale?” Answer:
“Mira.”
Lawyers Sometime Call
Occasionally a lawyer calls. He
‘may have a case where an aqto
accident occurred at 4:30 p. m. on
March 3 and wants to know if it
was completely dark at that time,
if there was some twilight, or
whether it was possible for the
sun to have been in a motorist’s
eyes.
“If we can give the answer off
hand over the phone we do, be
cause it creates good will,” Mr:
Coles said.
However, the planetarium
avoids commercialized research as
much as possible. .
Mr. Coles admits he would rath
er give an unglamorized talk on
technical astronomy but such lec
tures would be “too dry” for the
general public. ~ Furthermeore, he
points out that the planetarium
has to pay its own way through
box-office receipts and must cater
to the public.
And in times of emergency the
planetarium has an important role
to play. During World War II its
experts conducted courses in ce
lestial navigation for naval reserve
officers—“and we are working on
plans for similar courses in the
future, if necessarv.”
