Russians Hint At Discoveries In Near Future LONDON (UPD — Soviet scientists today dropped hints of great things to come in the wake of the spectacular flight of Lunik HI. Western observers viewed their statements with cautious respect. Moscow Radio called out its corps of space commentators and scientists and paraded them before tiie microphones to tell Russia and the world about the latest spare success. To a man they made confident predictions of more Buck Rogers - like space projects in the near future. Expect Great Discoveries Astronautical commentator Felix Yureyevich told his Radio Moscow audience that “in the most immediate future we can expect very great discoveries in the study of the moon.” Scientist Nikolai O. Barabasev put it this way: “The launching of the third cosmic rocket proves that we have entered the period of planned mastery of cosmic space and of flights to the moon and the nearer planets.” Some Western observers were more precise. “They must be thinking very seriously about putting a man into orbit around the earth,” said Kenneth Rutland, vice - chairman of Britain’s interplanetary society. Predicts Moon Satellite “The present moon flight is clearly part of a well-defined program of lunar interplanetary exploration,” he said. Yuriyevich said “the launching of a rocket to fly around the moon has naturally created conditions for a new stage in mastering the moon—-the creation erf an artificial moon satellite.” “It is now our task to achieve, near the moon, a speed which would turn the rocket’s last stage, of the container, into an artificial permanent satellite of the moon,” Yuriyevich said. County Rural Youth Will Meet Thursday The regular monthly meeting of the Adams county rural youth will be held Thursday night at the Farm Bureau Co-op building in Monroe beginning at 7:30 p. m. Larry Meyers is in charge of registration and mixers will be led by Roger Habegger. Norma Jean Wilson will lead the group singing and Larry Lautzenheiser will present the devotions. Legora Markle, president, will conduct the business meeting. Plans will be made for the October special activity of a dinner and theater party and plans will also be made for the installation banquet in November. Recreation will be in charge of Jerry Sprunger, and will include an apple bob, and refreshments of a pop corn pop will be in charge of Mrs. Mejle Kuhn, one of the Farm Bureau advisors. All rural youth members and young people of the county are invited to attend this meeting. 47 Are Sickened By Food Poisoning SPRINGFIELD, (Hl). (UPD — Forty-seven Fort Wayne, Ind., residents were sickened by what appeared to be food poisoning near here Sunday night. Four of the victime were hospitalized at St.-John's H&pital in Springfield.

Those hospitalized were identified a£- Walter Reynolds, 47; James Peters, >3; Donald Stoneman, 40, and Lloyd Bouillon. Hospital authorities said the victime were “pretty sick” but in satisfactory condition. The other members of the group resumed their trip to Chicago after being treated aboard the train. ' Perspiration Odor The odor of perspiration on the body can be destroyed by bathing in warm water, to which has been added two tablespoonfuls of compound spirits of ammonia. This will leave the skin clean and fresh.
