Army Scientists Look With Confidence To Explorations In Space With Radar

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (UP) Army scientists looked confidently ahead today to vast exploration in ' solar space with radar. It is now possible, they believed, that radar-controlled space ships some day will ply the airless ivoid between the planets, electronically gathering and transmitting to earth data thus far beyond man's ken. Army Signal Corps engineers, it was' revealed last night, al- j ready have bounded radio pulses ; of extremely high frequency and I energy against the moon and fielded them at the speed of . instruments at the Evans Sig-i nel Laboratories, Belmar, New Jersey. For the first, time they have demonstrated certainly that ultra high frequency radio waves can penetrate the ionosphere, the! electrified outer areas of the earth's atmosphere beyond which ordinary radio waves cannot go. They hope next to establish ra dar contact with one of the plan-! ets, possibly Mars, 35 million miles beyond earth in the sun's I system. The radar round trip to .Mars at 186,000 miles a second, would take about six and onequarter minutes. Signal Corps scinetists achieved their first contact with the moon, 238,857 miles away, on January

Band Goal Of Drive Band Parents Club Will Conduct 1-Week Campaign Beginning February 4th. The Sullivan High School Band, pride of f.ie school system, school patrons and the citizenry of this city in general is to blossom out in snappy new uniforms at the beginning of school next fall according to plans now being developed by the local Band Parents Club. , According to an announcement made today by Wilfred Perigo, director of the band, a financial drive to secure funds to underwrite the purchase of the greatly needed uniforms will be launched Monday February first and will continue for one week. A goal of $2,500 has been ' set, this amount being needed to purchase fifty uniforms each consisting of trousers, coat, cap and accessories. Members of the Band Parents organization plan a house-to-house canvass for funds throughout the city and teams will also make solicitations in the business district during the week. In explaining the desire to secure new band uniforms, it was pointed out that the present uniforms have been used for approximately ten years and many of them are badly worn. It is planned, however, to convert the better ones into uniforms for the Junior High School band next year. , After careful consideration bv committees cooperating with Mr Perigo and other school officials j it has been decided to purchase uniforms similar in appearance to the smart outfits now identified with the high school band i group. Materials have been selected both for their durability and dressy appearance. The high school band which has been developed here through the succeeding classes of students has become recognized as an outstanding asset to the community as a whole and the or ganization is called upon for I participation in many civic events in addition to its, busy schedule of entertainment at athletic contests and school acitivities. Boosters of the band ! consequently are hopeful that the citizens will give liberally to the cause in order that the pro- ! ject can be speedily completed, jit has also been pointed out that it is prohibited by law to pur chase uniforms of any kind out of school funds raised through taxation and school musical units consequently are supplied uniforms through public, free-will donations.
