Harlan Smith, chairman of astronomy at the University of Texas, told science teachers meeting here recently that all observatories will have to move to outer space in the next 40 years to combat increasing problems caused by bright lights from cities and developing arqas. Despite massive cuts in space agency budgets, he predicted Americans and other earthlings will move out to colonize the galaxy, perhaps living in outer space by the year 2000 and constructing large underground cities on the moon in the next 150 years. “There will be Martians and Loonies’ among our descendants,” he told the Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching at the University. Smith urged the Carter and future administrations not to “close the door on future generations” by continued cuts in space hardware development. He indicated space was the reasonable alternative to the energy problem, with gigantic supersatellites in orbit 24,000 miles above Earth beaming down enough solar power to compete with oil, coal and nuclear fuel plants. “One economist predicts profits of $50 million to $100 million a year from solar energy after approximately 2010, when the system has paid back with interest the billions in development required to make it useful, he said. ‘Houston with a bagpipe accent* company to match Houston and Aberdeen in a new documentary called “A Tale of Two Cities.

Six thousand Americans now live in Aberdeen. Almost all are from Houston, and almost all are in oil. Aberdeen has a 300-pupil Ameri can school and a Petroleum Wives Club whose 600 members are al most all American. Little League baseball and Fourth of July hot dogs are now part of the Scottish scene. A few Aberdonians now live in Houston, too, and Houston s Heather and Thistle Society holds sun-washed Highland Games. But Brocklebank and his team from Grampian Television, an Aberdeen company which is part of Britain’s commercial TV network, found more contrasts than similarities between the two oil cap itals. Houston, the program says, is a boom town “where wages are high, taxes are low, where it’s cheaper to live and there are more millionaires than in any other American city, (but where) black ghettoes exist within a few hundred yards of some of the most exciting architecture in the world.” Aberdeen, on the other hand, is an ancient city “where there is full dniployment, where social service spending is high, where rents and house prices are reckoned to be the highest in Britain, where fortunes can be made and where there are CARROLL S WICKER AND BASKETS SALE!!! ding of the AA t 1001 West Lo:) s provided fr«| *e no term papal ample timegivt' ry Public Health ■ major.

" “A Tale of Two Cities plays fair in examining equally each city s ap pearance, its problems, its advan tages and drawbacks. “Houston is a sprawling space age metropolis that defies all the rules, which could be the biggest city in th e world by the year 2000,” Brocklebank says. Two weeks of filming there pro duced scenes certain to boggle British minds with exotic things un known here — endless sun, superb modern buildings, parties around backyard swimming pools, urban unrest and unplanned sprawl. Houston is depicted as more excit ing, more lush, more violent — 1977 box score? of murders: Aber deen 3, Houston 376. “Aberdeen is a thousand years older than Houston and is well be hind or, depending on your point of view, light years ahead in the qual ity of life, the program says. f• • at attention: attention:: attention::: J.
