The age-old question of wheth-
er there is any life on Mars may
be answered next week.
Astronomers expect a newly
developed electronic device that
can analyze matter millions of
miles out into space may settle
the question, at least as to plant
life.

three million miles of earth next

Two Areas To Be Scanned
Two areas on Mars will hold
their interest — green patches,
that seem to undergo seasonal
changes, and polar caps. The elec
tronic device, called a spectral
recorder, is expected to deter-
mine whether these green patch-
of Mars is so rare it is equivalent
to air 50,000 feet above earth—
much higher than aviators can
go without a special oxygen sup-
ply.
The polar caps may turn out
to be frozen carbon dioxide, scien
tists say.
In the tests, light from Mars
will pass through the telescope
and enter a boxlike spectrograph
through an eyelike slit. Infrared
rays will be culled out, picked
up by a photo-electric cell and
ccnverted into electric current.
The current will be amplified
and automatically recorded in
ink on a paper graph. The trac-
ings will form a pattern to be
compared with a pattern made
by earth vegetation and mois-
ture.

If the spectral recorder shows
Martian areas have the same in-

say it will mean plant life simi-

If there is thriving plant life,
there is a possibility that some
form of animal life exists, astro-
nomers say, although probably
of a much different evolutionary
nature than on earth.

WALLIS
About six o’clock this (Mon-
day) evening, fire broke out at
the Wallis Poultry and Ice plant.
The Wallis Volunteer Fire Com-
pany responded to the alarm
immediately, and did fine work
in getting the fire under control
and extinguishing it. Someone
in the John Mikes family, who
lives across the street, noticed
the smoke and gave the alarm.
No one was at the plant at the
time, and the origin of the fire
is not known.
The damage was considerable.
The office, turkey dressing de-
partment, rafters and floors over
a large area, were damaged, as
well as egg case fillers and oth-
er material, which were either
damaged by water or destroyed
by fire.
The Sealy and East Bernard
fire companies responded to the
call for help, and, with the Wal-
lis company, did fine work and
all are to be commended, with
appreciation for all that they
did. The citizens of Wallis are
grateful for a good, live, fire de-
partment.
At the regular meeting of the
Parent-Teacher Association on
Wednesday afternoon of last
week, Mrs. L. C. Pazderny re-
viewed the book, “Nearby”, by
Elizabeth Yates, in a most pleas-
ing and interesting manner. The
business meeting was then held,
completing plans for the banquet
to be given on Thursday even-
ing.
Valentine parties were in or-
der at the schools last week: one

Widows with Children
Get Special Benefits
From Social Security
“The Social Security Act plac-
es emphasis on the importance
of the family, and gives special
protection to women and child-
ren,” Fred C. Rogers, manager
of the Houston social security of-
fice, said this week.
“Some women callers,” Rogers
continued, “think that benefits
are paid only to 65-year-old wid-
ows. Actually, when a qualified
wage-earner of any age dies and
is survived by a widow who was
living with him at the time of
his death, she is immediately eli-
gible to receive:
1. Monthly payments for her-
self and their unmarried child-
ren under 18, or
2. A single cash payment if
there are no children.”
Many women seem to think
that in the event of their hus-
band’s death that they can get
back only the few dollars paid
in social security premiums. It
should come as no surprise to a
widow to learn that she and
her minor children are eligible
for regular monthly payments.
Many such benefits are now in
force in this community. These
monthly benefits frequently
mean for children the difference
between going to work and going
to school. Monthly benefits to
widows have been the means of
keeping many families together
and homes intact.

claim may be filed, by writing
or visiting the Social Security
Administration, 813 Federal Of-
fice Building, Houston.
Two Negro soldiers were on

across the vast expanse of wa-

“That’s the mos’ water I’ve
eber seen in all my life,” said
one. “Did yo’ eber see so much
water?”
Said the companion: “Yo
ain’t seen nothin’ yet. That’s
jus the top ob it.”
