SCORPIO (Oct. 23 Nov. 21): Your philisophy is tested today.

If you can keep cool in the midst of what is happening, then you will prosper. If not, prayer can show you the way.

Whatever extra frills you are attaching to basics may as well be discarded.

Learn to get to the point quickly. Relationships bring surprises, most of them pleasant. Today's natives follow their own convictions rather than popular fads, frequently getting themselves into added responsibility.

Be wary of suggestions concerning money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This is a fine day for the start of new ventures, entry onto new responsibilities, efforts to improve earning power. Overtime is probable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 Feb. 18): Personal projects lag or get squeezed out as you pursue career not at hand for most of humankind. Hence the Chinese, the Nigerians, a hundred other peoples, seek industry. Here science and technology remain the hero, the Promethean who will widen and enrich life.

And it is unlikely that we can achieve these modest ends, with a mere dying science, living off our old results. There must be a balance of imagination and innovation. The face of science which Is turned toward the mind is the brightest face, but its technological face, turned toward the easing of the daily winning of bread, is still for most human beings also heroic. Science as scapegoat: The northern hunters, all around the Pole, have a broadly united and brave culture. It is a surprisingly technical culture, their life of seal hunting and fishing, but the cunning techniques owe nothing to Galileo's science.

Among them live the shamans "Eskimos just like other people but they had these strange powers. They had power over the hunter they could bring the ani is the work of science. The oceans do not shrink; but we become faster and stronger travelers, riders upon and wasters into the winds. That we recognize humanity as one is the work of science. That we can all but end it as one is also the work of science, or at least of national fears based on class divisions gaining power from science.

The world is more rational within the factory and the lab, on the farm and at sea. But it is no more reasonable in the speeches of leaders, in the hatreds of the neighborhood, in the legacy of ownership and status. It is the vivid unity of the world in struggle everywhere the rockets can fly which is the villainy of science today. War is the enemy of the species, and war, which could survive without science, is now armed by science with a speed and a terror which grow though the earth grows not. But the answer is not, and cannot be, to aim at the means and not the ends of struggle.

That would be to make the very errors of which the most profound critics accuse science. When reason and the Proposed (Continued from Page 13) top. An effort is being made to acquire land in the Crestwood Industrial Park for a low-cost building which could be used for a center and other activities. The committee expects to' establish programs of significant service to youth and adult in the Greater Mountaintop area using existing facilities. Use of the Hazleton or Wilkes-Barre YMCA will be made only for programs which would be unavailable in the Mountaintop area.

The programs that are being planned and the Committee hopes to bring into being, are: Teens, teen center and HiY, drama group, photography class, chess instruction, sports and ceramics classes. Pre-teen and youth, sports, trail blazers (9 to 13 years), Indian guide maidens (6 to 9 years), Saturday crafts and activities, calisthenics team, baton twirling. Science: Hero, villain or scapegoat? Ask a loaded question, expect a charged reply! In our time, no honest and reflective respondent could, I believe, say other than all three. The question demands some clarification. The science to which it or business objectives.

There will be plenty of time later, of course. his promotion to lieutenant on April 8, 1971 at which time he was transferred to Troop and assigned as commander of the Doylestown station. On October 5, 1972, he was trans-frered to Troop headquarters at Bethlehem and assigned as patrol section commander of the troop patrol unit, driver's examination unit and the inspection station unit, a post he held until his retirement. He has served as a member of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania State Police Civic Association. He was certified by the National Safety Council as an authorized instructor in the National Council's Driver Improvement Program.

During his career he attended the Traffic Institute of Northwestern University, completing a course in supervision of Police Personnel. He also attended various in-service and out-service schools and seminars and completed related courses in police work. original on your own that can't be mass-produced or easily copied. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don't linger longer than necessary along the way today. Medical and olher technical advice is favored; causes and effects are more readily understood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make Immediate use of the bright idea that comes to you now. Clear out projects or possessions which have lost their functions.

Have faith in what you've checked out for yourself. is not the science of Einstein the recluse, an apparently unworldly, deep, erudite inquiry into the farthest extensions of experience. Nor is it the science that gives weight to sunbeams and finds a clock radioactively ticking away in the blackened clays where our apelike ancestors made their 'new-won fire. We must in honesty include technology, the technology which malsand they had power to kill There were good shamans and bad shamans but most people fear the sea.

Human beings are a single species; all our national histories, looking back a dozen millenia, merge together into one universal hunter's life, wandering, sagacious, close to the game. These are some jewels of our science. They do not enter the routines of daily life they fill and mold the mold. I am grateful that I lived in a time when these clear answers came to the wondering questions and conjectures of every culture since men and women first spoke around the fire. The structure science has built is a grand home for the mind, always incomplete, both sheltering and awesome.

Shallower, yet closer to life and death, is the impact of science via technology on our daily bread and on our hopes for the children. We cannot any longer live by hunting. No room; no game. Four billion mouths need food from crops, cunningly grown and shipped to the ends of the earth. Nor is a clear end to our growing technology in sight.

It must of course someday end its mushroom growth; all curves flatten in time. But the time is not now. No sensible person expects two cars for every family; the atmosphere wouldn't stand it. But there are goods which seem a universal desideratum for every human being. Beyond food, clothing, shelter, health these alone are far from birthrights for most people today it is not too much to expect that, once in a lifetime, every person might have the chance to travel to another continent.

Our wealthy people do so now; and the Prophet of Islam enjoined it long ago to the faithful in all lands. Is the task of growing toward affluence complete when so modest a goal is not now possible? I refuse to accept the vows of poverty being taken now by many critics in the western world on behalf of the poor of all lands. These persons give up the two cars and the rare steak which many take to be affluence. For me, world affluence is not the steaks and cars, but modest tight roofs, sure rice, hope for the kids, an enlargement of the experience of the peasant family in all the world. The arithmetic is plain; the basis of the good but simple life is still CASTLE LARGEST ALEPPO, Syria The largest castle in the world is the Qila (Citadel) here.

It is oval and has a surrounding wall 1,230 feet long and 77 feet across. It dates from the 10th century.

So speaks Pitseolak, a woman past seventy, a great artist of the Cape Dorset people of West Baffin Land (reported among her own gifted prints in a recent book). Pitseolak here bears witness to a crucial point.

The work of the shaman, involving in his trance the spirits of the game, is as different as possible from the style and approach of public, objective, detached, and cool post-Galilean science. Yet the people speak of the shaman much as the dimmest viewers of science would speak. Justifiably or not, science, like the shaman, induces a kind of fear in many today. It seems plain that insofar as there is truth in these two views, the fault cannot lie in the methods and approach of modern science. The fact is that in most societies power over men and things enters, the domain not tolerate our largest weapons.

Science made them possible, true; but leaders caused them, out of the conflict of nation and class. It is not for a paragraph to give the answers. But I believe made bombs of the nuclear energies and set the radiations blowing in the wind. Technology is not science, but modern science is the major source of the most modern technologies. It would be a quibble to insist herein on the separation, although much might be learned in another context from keeping the distinction.

We will proceed, then, with this wide and flexible understanding of the term "science." Science as hero: The hero, science, is not the science of the frontier, the discoveries of next year. For me, at least, the heroic aspect is the well-won undoubted truth, won early or late, so certain that we no longer doubt. The sun is a star; all those stars are suns. The mountains were born, and will die in level plateaus. Long ago and it.

is very long compared to all the numbered generations of the Book of Genesis all living things, plant, beast, and man, shared a common physical ancestor, some microorganism of that the task for the good and the wise is to ensure access for the minds of all humankind to the truths of science, each to his mea of social conflict. Any power, so long as it be really felt, will become the prize sought by contestants in society: They may be hunter and shaman, nation and nation, poor and rich, worker and owner The list is long. sure. Science is no longer the property of the West, any more than it belongs to Galileo's Florence. It is everyone's in potential and in practice.

It ought to be made real to all by education, by sharing, by re-interpretation, by strict adherence to the goals of human dignity and equality. Modern science transcends the divisions of the species; it flourishes in China as in Kenya, and it needs the work of all conditions of humanity, some as makers, most as viewers and appraisers. The answer to its divisiveness is universality; let power and the judgments of power spread. The old dream of a species equal and united remains latent in the material goods and the widening knowledge brought by science. It is the banner of a worldwide That there is danger and cruelty in the misuse of power there is no doubt.

Dispensary Reports But science cannot and ought not to take the blame for that. Here science is scapegoat. The weapons in the dark silos are cruel and deadly; they arise not from science but from nationalism and war.
