Cr to? It 0 Stale Urges Use Of Landfills TOPEKA (AP Cities and towns in Kansas have been urged to quit using 0ien city dumps and replace them with landfills or other sanitary methods of rtispos- ing of refuse. The action was taken Friday by the State Board of Health. It condemned open refuse dumps as a menace to public health. Landfills are the use of trenehes into which refuse is dumxd, then covered with dirt and compacted with heavy equipment. Open dumps, the board said, provide breeding places for flies and rodents, cause had odors and fumes and destroy natural beauty of the area.

The hoard proosed legislation to allow counties to establish one or more refuse disposal facilities for use by all communities within a county.

His whizzing capsule played hop-scotch with the earth's time during the 25-hour flight with Sunday becoming Saturday beneath Titov, then Sunday again, then Monday, then back to Sunday again, and finally, Monday once more for Titov's triumphant homecoming in the Soviet Union These seeming tricks of time are due to the fact that in his 18,000 m.p.h.. 17-orbit flight starting last Sunday at 9 a m. Moscow time, Titov crossed both the International dateline plus the earths imaginary Midnight Meridian" 17 times. So says Wellman Chamberlin of the National Geographic Society, who has compiled a unique log of Titovs flight, utilizing a special world globe equipped with measuring tools to enable users to plot graphically the courses of satel-litesrand rockets.

Chamberlain said that in terms of the local times for different parts of the earth crossed by the orbit of the Vostok II spaceship Titov: 1. During both of his first two 88-minute whirls around the world figuratively flew back into Saturday, the day before he left, but quickly got back into Sunday each time. 2. During 'the rest of his trip, he periodically flew from Sunday into Monday and back again though finally winding up in Moscow on Monday. 3.

If he had stayed aloft another seven hours, he would hae run into Tuesday over part of the world, though still landing in the Soviet Union on Monday. The factors involved in these gymnastics of time and Titov are these: 1. The International Dateline thats the meridian extending essentially from pole to pole across the Pacific Ocean. When you cross it, going west to east in a ship, an airplane or a spaceship, you lose a day. 2.

The Midnight Meridian an imaginary semicircle in the heavens which determines local midnight for the particular parts of the earth passing, beneath it as the planet constantly rotates in a west-to-east direction. Thus, when you pass It, gslng in the right direction, you gain a day. AUGUSTA AP Augusta has a mystery a house that quivers. The matter has been called to the city council's attention because the house is located near the municipal electric plant and it is thought the plant's big engines may have something to do with it. The quivering house is the home of K.

M. Bryan, a city The Augusta governing body had engineers in from Wichita to watch, look and listen. They came up with no explanation. Mr. and Mrs.

Bryan said that, sometimes the vibrations are more pronounced than at other times. And, they said, when a train goes along on the Santa Fe tracks less than a block away, the quivering stops. It's the same when it rains. Front Seats COVER Only $5.88 Our Sidewalk Display of BargainsWcdnesday, August 16th Also Other Bargains Inside the Store. WESTERN AUTO STORE One theory suggested was that the home and the big engines at the electric plant a block away rest on the same underground rock formation, and that the vibration of the engines travels along the rocks to the foundation of the house.

Then the question arises: Why does the quivering stop when a train goes through town? Another theory is that the engines cause vibrations that travel through the air and set the windows and screens quivering. Supporters of this say trains, running between the house and the electric plant, could break the air waves. But how about the mirror on a bedroom wall that sways as though timed by rhythmic music- Its not exposed to the outside waves, yet it stops when it rains. U. S.

Chess Champion, 16, Declines Morning Match With a Challenger Roll and Pleat COVERS All leatherette plastic $28.88 LOS ANGELES AP U.S.' chess champion Bobby Fischeri thinks lie's been rooked. I The 16 year-old refused to show up Sunday at 11 a m. for a match against challenger Samuel Re-shevsky. He said he wasnt used to playing in the morning. The referee called it a forfeit.

But Fischer says forfeits aren't allowed. Not Installed at Above Sale Prices. No one is sure whose move is next. The problem began 10 days ago when local officials rescheduled the 12th game of a 16-game series from Saturday to Sunday. Re-shevsky will not play on the Jewish Sabbath.

Says Fischer: I'm not used to playing at 11 it's ridiculous. Why should I accommodate him? Maybe he hoped I'd be tired and he'd get a draw. Despite repeated calls and warnings, Fischer refused to leave his Hollywood hotel. Reshevsky promptly checked out of his hotel and took his one-point lead to New York, where the series continues this week. But Fischer said he won't accept the forfeit.
