Gilbert Plass, George Kattawar and Charles Adams are putting to gether mathematical models to de termine what causes these brilliant displays. The problems of observation are considerable because “ . . . each sunrise and sunset is unique, unre peatable, and highly dynamic,” ac cording to Plass. They found that molecular scat tering alone could not explain the colors of the twilight sky, but as they added aerosols, the correct range of colors began to appear. Plass found that air molecules scatter light particles and give red and white coloration. Ozone ab sorbs light in the middle of the vis ual range and produces the blue sky overhead. But, aerosols, —the junk in the air, oily particles from fac tories, dust from storms and even volcanic eruptions — produce the brilliant sunset colors. “Our calculations tell us what fac tors affect the colors and we put them into a computer program” Plass went on. “Now we can man ipulate the aerosols and ozone con tent in the model to see how they affect the intensity and color of the light observed. This program has also been used in conjunction with efforts to learn more about the atmospheres of planets other than the earth. Data from telescopic plates of other solar system planets will go into mathematical models de veloped by Plass and Kattawar for analysis and comparison. Use has already been made of data from studies of a 1971 dust- storm on Mars taken by the Mariner 9 spacecraft. They believe that by following scattering events as light interacts with molecules of an atmosphere the composition and structure of that atmosphere can be deter mined. Pupils can say ‘no’ to paddlings now DALLAS (AP) — Dallas pupils now will decide if they want to be paddled. School officials in guidelines dis tributed to principals this week out lined a due-process procedure not included in current school district policy. The officials said no pupil can be administered corporal punishment against his will. The guidelines also give a pupil the right to respond to and question witnesses if he claims innocence. Under the policy, sufficient inquiry must be made to determine a pupil s guilt or innocence. Under the new guidelines, cor poral punishment must be adminis tered “in a mild and moderate man ner and not “in the heat of anger or arbitrarily.” Parents should be notified and appropriate alternatives considered if a pupil refuses to accept corporal punishment. w o f^eersi ✓ p-^p^rnake your shopping count in valuable stamps. f DURING THESE COMING HOLIDAYS ' K WILL BE CLOSED CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS DAY, SINCE BOTH DAYS ARE ON WEDNESDAY, WE WILL GIVE DOUBLE S&H GREEN STAMPS MONDAY & TUESDAY 12 50 or more — purchase BRILLIANT COOKED SHRIMP . * in r KRAFT ASSORTED ten, SNACKS Bacon & Horseradish, Chive, Onion& - _.

POULTRY... Chilled or frozen ready-to-cook poultry may be pur chased in various sizes and forms to suit every occasion. Most kinds of ready-to-cook poultry are available as parts and in whole, halved, and quartered form. Some kinds are also available as boneless roasts and rolls. All poultry is perishable. Care and cleanliness should be used in the preparation, cooking, and serving of poul try products. Keep frozen poultry hard-frozen until time to thaw, and cook promptly after thawing. Use fresh-chilled poultry within 1 to 2 days. Completely cook poultry at one time. Never partially cook, then store, and finish cooking at a later date. Left-over cooked poultry, broth, stuffing, and gravy should be separated, covered, and refrigerated. Use with in 1 to 2 days. Freeze for longer storage. NEUHOFFS BONELESS 2 to 3 ts.
