The Lighter Side

By Dick West WASHINGTON UPI — In Mark Twain’s day, everybody talked about the weather. They still do. only now they’ve been joined by machines. The U. S. Weather Bureau has just announced with understandable pride and a becoming amount of boyish enthusiasm .' that it has developed a "talking automatic meteorological observing system.” The voice machine, called Tamos, adds a new dimension to weather instruments. It is designed for use in remote areas that might not have any human weather observers. It takes readings on temperature, visibility, cloud height and stuff like that, and then converts the information into voice projections, which are recorded. Let’s say a forecaster wants to know the temperature in Flungfar, Alaska. He picks up the telephone, dials the Tamos number there, and the machine starts saying, “ two three . . .

two three . . . two three * . . meaning the temperature is 23 degrees. On another voice track would be recorded the visibility readings. “. . . one six . . . one six . . . one six . ” meaning the visibility is 1.6 miles. It may have occurred to you, as it did to me, that a talking weather instrument has great potentialities for science-fiction writers. Once machines start talking about the weather, can they be restricted to bare statistical re ports ? Or will they, having undergone this bit of humanization, acquire other human characteristics as well? Being stuck off in remote places like Flungfar, Alaska, a machine might get lonely. It might develop a compulsion to express itself more fully than the bureau intended. In the following scene, the chief forecaster in Anchorage is making a routine 1 p. m. check of the Tamos reading in his district. He dials the Flungfar number and a metallic voice comes on the line: u ,.. minus ten ... minus ten . . . minus ten . . holy icicles! Is it ever cold up here! Man, this weather would freeze the horns of a brass billygoat. If it gets much colder . . The forecaster quickly switches to the visibility track: . . zero zero ... zero zero . . . zero zero . . . say, this is some kind of a fog, isn’t it? Regular pea soup. You can’t see your hand in front of your face. Reminds me of the time back in 1964 when . .

4-H Horse and Pony Equestrian Meeting A meeting of the 4-H Horse and Pony Equestrian for the year 1967, was held Monday, March 13, in the Community Building at the Greencastle Fairgrounds at 7:30 p.m. The meeting was called to order by President Barry Grimes and the minutes were read by Secretary Judy Nichols. Old and new business was discussed and the minutes were approved as read. Because this meeting was the deadline for enrollment, members were asked to turn in their enrollment cards. Some of the members this year are interested in judging Quarter horses, and all members will take part in judging horses at the outdoor meetings. For everyone’s benefit, a Quarter Horse conformation movie was shown, in two parts, entitled, “How to Judge a Quarter Horse.” In the movie were various pointers and instructions in judging that were interesting and educational to all who attended the meeting. Like the last meeting and forthcoming meetings, the club plans to have a very interesting and helpful movie on the conformation, types, training, and riding of a horse. After the movie, the club’s health and safety leader, Lynn Brown, passed out pamphlets on first aid with mercurochrome. The two song leaders, Kent Grimes and Tim Hood, led the club in some familiar songs and the reports that were to be given that meeting were postponed until the next meeting. The meeting was then adjourned by President Barry Grimes and members axe to be informed of the next meeting. The Horse and Pony Committee met at the Greencastle court house Tuesday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m. The purpose of this committee is for the planning of the 4-H Horse and Pony program at the Fair this year.

Foreign News Commentary

By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst Alongside the Gulf of Aden close to the mouth of the Red Sea lies the prosperous Frenchowned port of Djibouti, the buildings of its European quarter gleaming whitely under the African sun. Its motley population of Frenchmen, Greeks, Indians, Moslems and Jews and its modem port facilities mark it for what it is. a major port on one of the world’s major trade routes. Its native quarter, with its complaining camels and the herdsmen who bargain noisily in the camel market, give it its link with the desert. About half of French Somaliland’s estimated 75,000 population lives in Djibouti. On Sunday the population will vote on independence, whether or not to cut the nation’s ties with France after a hundred years.

French Somaliland, of which Djibout is the capital, is an enclave on the African coast, bounded on the south by the Somali Republic and by Ethiopia. whose borders also adjoin on the west and north. Across the Gulf lies the British port of Aden. The British plan to abandon Aden in 1968. Thus Djibouti takes on new importance as a strategic gateway to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Should French Somaliland vote for independence, both Ethiopia and Somali may be tempted to fill the vacuum. If so it would be another clash of U. S. and Soviet arms in the troubled Middle East. U. S.-supplied Ethiopia and Soviet aided Somali already are close to war and both covet the important port. Somali claims French Somaliland on the basis of its Somali tribesmen, and the charge that the former British, French and Italian colonial powers divided the area without regard for tribal lines. Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia also claims it. He declared last September that the territory had been Ethiopia’s before the French arrived and would be Ethiopian again. Selassie, further, has a special need for free access to Djibouti. A railroad links the Ethiopian capital of Addis Abana with Djibouti which is the principal outlet for Ethiopian exports. The railroad is operated jointly by France and Ethiopia. Between the two Somali and Ethiopia militarily, it would seem no contest. The Ethiopian army outnumbers the 10,000man Somali army four-to-one. Waiting grimly on the side axe the French who have moved in 6,000 troops in preparation for Sunday’s vote. Regardless of the outcome, the French say that if French Somaliland wants Independence, it can have it
