GROSS Editor J ... ■ ... - — —— Subscription Rates Months $1 50 Months 75- In Advance WELCOME the gannets Nearly every dny for the past week, I have seen a flock of from eight to ten gannet flying over the Coastal Highway at Ardoch, Some of these flights have been headed toward the coast, others toward the inland swamps—depending some what upon the hour of the day— but each time the great birds have been following practically the same air line, as though they traveled a well marked trail. The spectacle of the gannet flying from their roosting place to the feeding ground, interesting and beautiful as it is, would not have been especially noteworthy a few years ago—when they, with the ducks, curlew and others of our native wild birds were almost always in sight along this immediate sec tion of the coast —but it is today. For some reason—either because too many of them were destroyed by hunters, or because they dis. covered better feeding grounds else where, many of our wild birds prac tically disappeared for several years, we missed them. Something has happened—per haps the lack of ammunition has lessened the activities of the hunters and the birds are losing their fear of our marshes and woods, or per haps the air lanes are becoming too noisy and crowded elsewhere— whatever the reason the birds seem to be returning in numbers this spring and they are indeed welcome. —Mclntosh County News.

You Don’t Have to Stand ELECTRIC POWER THAT'S TRUE, even though the electric light and power IvlUm industry in America was called on to produce, in 1942, the greatest 4^' \ fl amount of electric power in history —189 billion kilbwatt-hours! ' • And at tlx same time tlx attract cost per kilowatt-honr ts the co nv xr n i >•• •; than enr before! Not only were all the demands of war plants, military camps, najml stations, and arsenals met-- but there remained 27 billion kilowatt-hours of electrical energy to take care of the needs of shops and stores, 30 billion for homes, 13 billion sos public trans portation, street lighting, and other uses, j These are some of the accomplishments of the electric light and power industry and of the electrical manufacturers who build the equipment used to generate, distribute, and utilize electricity —working together with the teamwork .so typically American. •» How We Helped POWER GENERATION. More than one half of all the electric power generated by electric light and power companies in the U. S. is pro duced by generators manufactured by General Electric. And such has been the improvement in the efficiencies of turbine-driven generators that if the electric power used in 1942 had been pro duced with the machines of 1924, it would have required more than a million extra cars of coal and one hundred and forty thousand men just to mine and haul this extra coal. ' POWER DISTRIBUTION. To have ample power available wherever new war plants have sprung up requires large and highly efficient transforming and switching equipment and the solution of highly intricate engineering prob lems. General Electric has had a hand, and a head, in the development and manufacture of much of this equipment. GENERAL © ELECTRIC ASTRONOMERS OF BABYLON That the ancient peoples of Asia were well versed in the laws apply ing to astronomical calculations seems proved by the recent decipher ing of thousands of clay tablets dug up in Babylonia. According to Pro fessor George C. Cameron, of the Uiyversity of Chicago, the Babylo nian astronomers used methods of calculation little different from tho^e employed in modern observa tories. The researchers indicate that Bablyon produced at least two out standing astronomers, Nabprianus and Cidenas. Commenting on the work of the latter, Professor Cam eron says: “It is amazing to dis cover that Cidenas’ calculations on the apparent diameter of the moon’s face are far more accurate than were the estimates of Ptolemy, Co pernicug or even Kepler before the latter employed the telescope.” This same astronomer is said to have predicted eclipses with astonishing accuracy. It was tl.e earlier astronomer, Naburianus, however, who discover ed the laws regulating the rotation and the revolution of the earth. He measured the year and is believed to have been the first who foi-med an accurate idea about the obliquity of the earth’s axis or the procession of the equinoxes. Some of these newly deciphered clay tablets carry us back more than 1,500 years before the Chris tian era. They show the Babylo nians to have been a highly practi cal people interested in the natural laws of the universe for purely utilitarian reasons. They offer, too, another strong link in the chain of supposition that the ancient peoples knew not a few of the laws govern ing the operation of many of our everyday modern appliances. In some respects the modern world has never been able to re produce all of the art anil science known to very ancient peoples. No doubt the future unearthing of old tablets and manuscripts will prove that ancient knowledge was far more extensive than a century or two ago it was belie veil to be. Much of this ancient lore was lost during the Middle Ages only to be recov ered at hard cost during our own time. —Atlanta Journal.
