FIFTH ANNUAL SPACECRAFT CONVENTION
The Fifth Annual Spacecraft Convention at Giant Rock has
now become history, although some of the echoes are still being heard
throughout the country and in other parts of the world.
Little by little and year by year, the Spacecraft
Convention is forcing a wholesome, if somewhat grudging, respect from the major
news disseminating agencies of the country. Although a certain amount of
ridicule was still to be found in the public press, it appeared only in those
papers whose editors knew nothing concerning the true nature and purpose of the
gathering.
The number of those in attendance was greater than in any
previous year. The NBC New Service stated that, by its own estimate, approximately
10,000 persons were present at some time during the two days. In previous years
the attendance figures have been grossly understated by most news agencies,
either in an attempt to play down the event, or simply because they were not
sufficiently interested to extend the necessary effort to make a true estimate.
(The attendance estimate of 1200 published in LIFE magazine last year was so
ridiculous that thousands of persons who attended, have lost all confidence in
anything published by that source.)
The Convention was filmed by the NBC News Service and the
TV program, "You Asked For It." Color films were made for
incorporation into the feature picture of `Project Outer Space' and shots were
taken for use in several other TV programs.
News agencies when they stop to think at all, are forced
to the realization that any subject which is of such great interest that it can
bring ten thousand people from all parts of the nation together at a remote
rendezvous in the middle of the desert, is a subject which will inevitably have
an effect upon our patterns of thought and way of life in this country and,
because of this fact, it is a subject of great news value, regardless of any
opinion which the reporter may have concerning its basic premise.
The number of speakers also grows larger each year, as
more and 1
more persons are encouraged to relate their encounters
with the space-craft and their operators. Among those who spoke during the
first day of the convention were: George Van Tassel, Dana Howard, Wayne Aho, Reinhold
Schmidt, John McCoy, Orfeo Angelucci, Truman Bethurum, Gray Barker and Yours
Truly. The second day we heard Howard Menger, Carl Anderson, John Otto, Kelvin
Rowe, Art Aho and Lester Levinson, with a final address by our host, George Van
Tassel. In the interim between talks a fine aerial show was presented for the
entertainment of the spectators, in the form of a series of daring parachute
jumps.
A number of booths and tables were provided from which the
spectator could purchase the books of the various UFO authors, and as usual
this fact led to the mutterings by reporters that the convention was
`commercial' and was held only for profit. Actually, anyone with a rudimentary
knowledge of arithmetic and normal powers of observation, could see at' once that
this could not possibly be true. The aerial show alone, if obtained through the
usual commercial channels, would have cost more than all the money which
changed hands during the convention.
In spite of the efforts of some reporters to belittle it,
and in spite of the sneers and innuendos with which others attempt to attack
it, the Annual Spacecraft Convention grows bigger, better and more interesting
with each passing year.

TRAVEL INTO SPACE
SPACE TRAVEL TO ANOTHER SOLAR SYSTEM VISIONED
By Graham Berry
Los Angeles Times Science Editor
Space flight will save thousands of lives from storms and
floods and will make possible "man's greatest experience of the next few centuries-meeting
intelligent beings from another solar system.
These forecasts were made yesterday by Krafft Ehricke, one
of the nation's top space scientists, who disclosed that he is developing a
space ship that will use the giant Atlas ballistic missile to boost it out of
the earth's atmosphere.
Ehricke also told the American Rocket Society meeting at
the Statler Hilton about his design of a 20-foot rubber ball capsule to contain
delicate instruments and land them gently on the moon.
The Convair-Astronautics scientist, who talked
enthusiastically about space as far back as 1929, when he was ridiculed for it,
insisted that America must move ahead in space exploration, whether for
military reasons or otherwise.
The Russians are doing their best to wake us up," he
said in an interview. "But we should not confuse the challenge of space
with the challenge of Russia. This attitude gets us into the habit of depending
on Russia, waiting for them to shoot something and then try to match it."
The new environment of space offers "new ways of
making life better," the scientist declared. He cited satellites as one
example. From above the earth's atmosphere a satellite can measure the energy
balance of the earth-sun system and its effects on wind and cloud patterns, Ehricke
explained.
"In this way we can learn to predict a hurricane a
week before it develops and trace the path it will take. We can predict floods
and droughts. And we will have time to take countersteps against these things.
"By making this information available to other
nations we can help them without crossing their boundaries."
Curb of Hostilities
Declaring that space exploration "will be helpful in
wearing down the sharpness of hostilities between nations. Ehricke added that,
"we cannot count on it to make everybody good and spread brotherly love
throughout the world."
This approaching new dimension in man's life will
"alleviate many things that plague us at present," he said. "But
it will bring with it many new problems.
"And imagine the impact on our thinking in the
finding in space of another race of intelligent beings with their own customs,
their own religions. Think how this may change our viewpoint.
"Meeting another such race will be the great
experience of the next few centuries. It may happen sooner if they come to meet
us."
Life Beginnings
Declaring that he is sure the beginnings of life could be
found on several of the planets, he said, "I am very skeptical that any
high form of life exists in the solar system."
"The beginnings of life," he said, "may
start from lightning re-acting with some chemical elements like carbon and
oxygen. "Violent lightning storms have been detected on Jupiter and we
suspect they occur on Venus," he said.
Primitive life probably exists on Mars. But for more
advanced kinds of life a great deal of water is required, Ehricke explained.
All the water on Mars probably is less than that in one of our Great Lakes, he
added.
Cloud-shrouded Venus is believed to be an entire sea of
water or oil, and entirely desert.
"There is growing evidence that Venus is a
desert," Ehricke said. After the problems of reaching the moon are
conquered, Ehricke said, a large observatory should be established there to
search by telescope for planets moving around the nearby stars.
"We want to learn the possibility of advanced forms
of life existing on these distant planets," the scientist explained.
Such planets cannot be detected from telescopes on the
earth because the light they reflect from their suns is not strong enough to
penetrate our atmosphere, Ehricke sald.
Possibility on Moon
These planets may be visible from the moon, which has
virtually no atmosphere.
Ehricke said he could not discuss at present the space
vehicle he is developing.
"I think it is the responsibility of American
industry to develop such projects and not wait for the government to suggest or
finance them," the scientist said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Longview, Wash.
To the Editor
Understanding of the letter of the Law can be for good or
evil, according to the desire of the individual. The desire is formed by the
feelings as well as the mind. The feelings stimulate ideas in the mind,
received for the benefit or deprivation of the individual under the law to
which he is subjected.
The righteousness of man's desire is, therefore, formed or
deter-mined by a righteous way of life, as in the Christ life and not by the
letter of the law or a religious doctrine or politics.
We contact God only when our desires are in tune with his
way of life.
Sincerely,
I. R.

LIVING BROTHERHOOD
In all religions there is found a premise that the
"Lord our God is One God--One and Indivisible". This golden thread of
Truth has been lost to the sight of many who have built impressive edifices of
learning both spiritual and academic. The world grows weary of lip ser-vice and
of blind leaders leading the blind.
Today, those of greater vision are beholding vast new
areas of virgin soil--soil that requires no tilling but the inner, innate power
TO BE and TO LIVE. They see a more perfect union being brought into tangible
form through a "hands-around-the-world" Brotherhood.
In spite of many physical and political hazards this group
moves forward undaunted, breaking through the confines of false doctrines and
outworn concepts of the past as well as the Godless and materialistic
structures of the present. No, it is not a new religion as such that is being
formed but rather a drawing together in spirit and endeavor of those who have
grown in recognition and awareness of the relationship of man to God.
Religion and mystery schools have employed representative
and descriptive symbols to teach the fundamental principles of Life, but those
symbols no longer suffice for those who break through the shell of confined
thinking. LIVING SYMBOLS are at hand as the uniting of heaven and earth is
taking place and humanity stands on the threshold of that which links the
spiritual and the so-called material.
Taking place is the blending of the hues of Life, the
harmonizing of countless facets. It is the center-with-center meeting place
where all complimentary opposites find union through balanced interchange. This
EVER-PRESENT center is the open door unto all living, both visible and
invisible. It is the "door into the sheepfold" to which Jesus referred
when he said, "I am the door; by me if any man enter it, he shall he
saved, and shall go in and out. and find pasture." It is the Truth which
is the living part of everything that exists. It is the "In the
beginning" GOD-SEED of all generations, whether in man or oak.
The people who are being drawn together at this time find
it is because of some inner corresponding factor rather than by outer mutual
interests or like ideals. Strangely enough, all who are "called" are
not aware of "why." It is in retrospection that one "sees"
and comes to understand. It might be likened unto the tree which has developed
according to season and has arrived at the point of fruition. The full flavor
and substance of the mature fruit is distinguishable by those who are consciously
immersed in the ESSENCE of All. This new seed is sown in the souls of men.
The new seed has within it the leaven which can move
mountains and men. May those who have seen the LIGHT and felt its mighty POWER
OF LOVE join hearts and hands with all in LIVING BROTHERHOOD.

MANY SHALL BE CALLED
By Marc Norman
CHAPTER FOUR
ANSWERS
Greetings to our friends of earth.
There are several thoughts that we have selected after our
last session, but we do not have the time to answer all of them, so we will cover
one of the foremost, which appears to be that associated with an oft repeated
remark of ours relative to experiences on that ancient continent of At]. It has
been wondered how it is possible to recall a period so remote in time, and
still remain in the living to speak of it.
Of course there are many mysteries that you are not yet
acquainted with, and this is one of them. We
may save for your elucidation that the process of evolution is the same on all
other spheres and planets, the difference being the state of time
relationships. So we too suffer our times of experience before passing into the
phase of unconscious-ness, and during the transitional period we re-capitulate
those experiences previously undergone regarding past associations and the
like.
Thus when we are re-born (and this is accomplished by
selective pre-natal recordings, through which it is determined the family
suit-able for re-expression) we are able, because of this selective birth
pat-tern, to carry over with us a complete understanding of previous lives.
This is because our Auric centers are far more developed than yours, as you may
be born into one nationality in one life, and a different one in another, thus
your centers differ in density and you are unable to recall past experiences.
There are some spheres of life wherein the continuity of
life force is carried for an indefinite period of time, the selection of life
span being determined by the individuals themselves, and as to when they desire
to take a rest, also which plane of activity they wish to seek re-birth upon.
This may be beyond your concept at the moment, but this being an age of
enlightenment for the peoples of Saras, so too will you come to this
understanding.
Some references have been made as to "The
Wanderers." Who are they? From whence came they? And what manner of beings
be they? And what is their particular function in your world of affairs?
Perhaps we can enlighten you to some degree as to these
individuals, and what part they play in the evolutionary scheme of Cosmic
expansion.
Many, many eons ago, when your earth was young, it was
deemed expedient by the LORDS OF HIGHER COUNCIL that mankind needed directional
impetus in order that his experiences could be of a progressive nature. It was
therefore decided that advanced souls should come to earth, mingle with its
natives and by personal directional action incite the peoples to progressive
effort. This took place in the early beginnings. Ever since that time, and to
your present day, higher Egos have volunteered for earthly mission. Many of
these individuals know of themselves and from whence they came. Such can be
termed 'VENUSIANS,' although by appearance and mannerisms they differ not from
the peoples of your own plane. But of course there are distinguishing characteristics.
Others of the same order, having not completed their earthly cycles, have
incarnated again and again in order that they may show by their own methods of
thinking and action a progressive pathway towards unfoldment. The majority of
these have forgotten their former heritage--except that the 'Inconscious'
constantly urges them to take the pathway of leadership and instrumen-tality;
albeit-the abuse and discomfort personally received.
Their teachings and philosophies have been recorded and
handed down to you through time, the names of Prophet, Philosopher, Master and
Adept being given to them by followers of their teachings. So, dear friends,
look each to the other and see not if a point of recognition lies not dormant
in the innermost recesses of your Egoic consciousness. For all of you have
wandered, not only in your seekings but in varying life forms, and have
experienced conditions in many lands of your earth sphere. These recognitions,
soul wise, are now becoming a factual processing of the conscious mind,
bringing about a desire to return to that far-off homeland. Such desires are
now being considered and evaluation of your works compiled that each may enjoy
the fruits of his labors.
Hence the extreme interest and banding together of those
who recognize the importance of the turbulences now being experienced on the
planet Saras. It is natural that souls of a younger nature have been, and are
attracted to such nuclei, and by sharpness of mind and ignorance of spirit
realized benefits that may be obtained through exposition of, what they feel to
be, superior intellect. But heed these not, for by their works shall ye know
them, and consider well lest you yourselves be trapped and hypnotized into
believing foreign philosophies expounded by them.
It is still your best rule and guide to consider the
instruction-however diminished and discolored, extracted and compiled from the
original book of law-as introduced by those earlier WANDERERS, of whom we have
spoken, and yet which even now remains with you as a concordance of human behaviourism
and social amenities.
This is the `BOOK OF THE GOLDEN RULE, BIBLOS COSMONUS'
(meaning, INNER BARK OF PAPYRUS), or as we term it, THE COSMIC RECORD, which is
a series of books relating to the Cosmos, and the supreme laws which govern her
actions through nature.
When in doubt then, or when feeling discouraged, or
otherwise dismayed, and the struggle appears to affect the physical structure
in moments of depressia, agitation and melancholia, and the like, open the BOOK
at random and therein will you find words of encouragement and upliftment.
True, we have your interest at heart, even though the part
we play is a minor one, for expert direction lies in the hands of our Brothers,
whose genius is given over to the assistance and guidance of earthlings, and
so, because we have of late years become more prominent in the eyes of earth
peoples, and it is now an accepted fact that craft from other spheres do course
your skies-that much of the philosophic developments leading towards a spiritual
upliftment has been given over to us. Hence the many so called U FO groups.
In conclusion let us say, that whilst many of the curious
and the morbid are attracted to such centers, introducing disputes, petty
antagonisms and disagreements, nevertheless, from all those thus called SHALL
THE FEW BE CHOSEN.
Keep your courage and allow not the impregnations of
radio-active impulses stir you to irrational thinking. These are our words of
encouragement this night. Our PEACE be with you.
Since our last contact with you we have been occupied with
duties concerned with investigation into various earthly events, and for a
period contacting departments of state within the boundaries of your sister
nation, and its capital, WASHINGTON. One phase of this we can safely report to
you. This is in relation to a secret meeting between certain heads of
government and your top scientists pertaining to reactory developments
concerning future release of nuclear tests. Apparently it has been discovered
that radionic 'fall out' from the first 'II-bomb' is still affecting the
earth's surface, and they are wondering what effect this may have on plant,
animal and human life.
We attempted, by thought impression. to ease their minds
somewhat, and one scientist made the statement that the percentage of
radioactivity, as now determined, would not be harmful, PROVIDING it did not
increase beyond that point. Whether this will cause banning of future tests
remains to be seen, and we are doubtful if an agreement can be reached with all
nations concerned. We wish to emphasize that, if more and more bombs are
exploded, then the radioactivity must increase to a degree of harmful reaction
to all earth life. Even though we are doing all we can to disintegrate
collective particles in your atmosphere through the agency of our thermo-active
green-fireball rays, there is always a certain amount impregnating lower layers
of clouds and distributed over the earth's surface.
Let us now enter into another phase of the plan which
bears a responsibility and importance insofar as you yourselves are concerned,
and in this too your voices may be heard. We have mentioned before-times that
the radionic fall-out resultant upon the release of nuclear explosives has
created layers of activated dust particles in both atmosphere and ionisphere,
and we are not able to disperse the entire valuations. Thus such radiations
being `electro-active' cause certain pockets to be formed and these are very
powerful. Some of them extend for many miles in length, whilst others are of
smaller dimensions. The formations of these pockets are `centralized' by
familiar reactory impulsations emanating from your earth's core, thus
establishing a `focal area' between two points. This radioactive magnetic field
is prevented from discharging itself by reason of the localized force layers.
It is similar to a magnet, where two poles of opposite nature attract, whilst
others repel. And these being familiar hold the pockets in place. Over or near
mountainous regions are the main areas of focalization. Therefore such pockets
hold a definite attraction for any object passing near or through them. It is
they which are responsible for many of the unexplained crashes of your
aircraft.
As a plane passes through this force field it is
magnetically drawn to its center, and disintegration follows if in an extra
large pocket, or radio and electrical power is cut off forcing plane to fall.
This phenomenon is causing quite a stir amongst authoritative circles. This
then explains one of the causes.
We have been able in some instances to offset such
tragedies by attracting some aeroform craft to a safer level through the agency
of our magnoray beam. In remote cases it has been found necessary to con-duct a
vehicle of flight away from the area altogether by directing such craft to one
of our larger sister ships, which, incidentally, are capable of housing several
of your largest planes. This has been quite an experience for the passengers of
such craft, although for the main part they are usually only the pilot or one
or more of the crew. Some combat planes which have attempted to attack one of
our ships have experienced such reactions. Needless to say, that after being
returned to familiar skies and returning to base they are reluctant to speak of
such adventures. Those who have given a report are placed under a veil of
secrecy, and your authorities would, of course, deny any possibility. But even
so, truth has a way of leaking out. Whilst visiting us we endeavor to educate
such persons as to our intentions and purposes, much along the lines that we
speak to you. In some cases we inform them that there is no hurry for their
return as it has been registered that they have suffered a transition. This
amuses some, concerns others, for whilst there is a natural desire to return to
loved ones, most appeared quite willing to stay, and state that they have
enjoyed the experience.
This may appear quite fantastic, even to some of you, but
as our own space craft are attracted back to their mother ship, so too can any
type of metal aeroform vehicle be likewise drawn into our field force polarizors.
The ray that we use renders all radio communications void, and in the case of
combat planes, their armament useless. So you see, oftimes we are forced to be
friendly even though it is never our intention to be otherwise.
Well, so much for these items of information. Another that
we think should interest you, and one that we strongly urge you to consider,
concerns the results of the radiations of which we have spoken. The increase in
the upper layers is as much as three to five hundred percent. This is of course
deadly, should it fall to earth. Thus we endeavor to disperse it as fast as
possible. However, a certain amount does fall through by reason of natural
currents affecting climatic conditions around your earth's plane, via the
atmospheres, movements of winds, magnetic emanations relative to gas belts, and
other subterranean forces being created within the earth's core, and so on.
Much of this you would not understand.
However, these radiations are causing much concern in your
scientific circles. The considerations concern the masses of your earth's
peoples. Sensitive persons are reacting strangely, becoming more and more
irritable, tense, and experiencing unusual moods. Their physical organisms are
reacting to strange impulses-the like of which have never before been felt.
Ailments new to the field of medical science are being studied. More yet will
be experienced. (Note: This message was given in 1956. Present day scientific
statements confirm this). Last, but not least, on this evening's agenda we
would like to touch on religion, inasmuch as this is the season of your year
during which you recognize the advent of the great exemplar (XMAS-1956), whom
you call 'THE CHRIST,' and from whose name the term Christendom has been
introduced and followed. This event is not new, for there is ever a great soul
selected at the beginning of every- age who is the forerunner of a type of
service and law to be introduced to the peoples of that cycle. And so it is
with yourselves. YOU are entering into a NEW AGE. The OLD ORDER PASSETH AWAY,
and in the not too distant future, the signs will become more prominent so that
you will be able to see them and understand their meanings. Yes, much is
happening on this planet of yours. Therefore we say, "Prepare and be ready
when the times are at hand, for this be the purpose of our visits among you
that you might be acquainted with portents near at hand, that some might
survive and assist in yet greater responsibilities.
Concern yourselves not with those considerations which
seemingly take the time of your day, apart from occupational and routine responsibilities, but give
of your understanding and service to those who are seeking answers to life's
problems."
The conditions affecting your planet are slowly but surely
changing, and we are interested to note that certain observers have also
concluded as to possibilities of upheaval and change which will be normally
brought about by the movements of ice floes, and reverberative magnetic force
activities taking place within your earth structure. We believe that you
experienced in your own particular area a slight tremor a few days ago. (This
was so). These will gradually increase in strength, not necessarily in your own
backyard but in the earth pattern generally. We have no wish to alarm you, but
it has been aforetimes mentioned that these things must be considered and also
expected. This in effect is the basis of our interest in making these contacts
with you, that we might prepare you for any emergency of the future, for such
are the times that the unexpected can happen in any direction in the future
We are not scientists or physicists in the sense that you
understand the terms, but receive information through examination of the LIGHT
FORCE FIELDS in the magnetic aura of the earth as it motions its way through
space. The changing of the vibrational rates or electronic impulses convey to
us through our instruments any slight degree of change activated either within
the earth's crust or in the magnetic field surrounding its body.
Therefore we would have you understand that the primary
considerations in our contacts with you, and also with those who make similar
contacts with individuals and groups situated in different parts of your earth
plane is to acquaint you with possibilities and because most of you who attend
such group activities have been selected by reason of your interest in New Age
development and are judged as being worthy of higher spiritual understanding.
You may feel that this is a peculiar type of service for we of a SPACE PATROL
to perform, however when we explain who and what we are you will perhaps reason
differently.
Most of you during the years of your study of matters
metaphysical, spiritual and occult have come across such terms as ELDER
BROTHERS, MASTERS, GREAT ONES, ADEPTS, BROTHERS OF THE LIGHT, and similar
terms. Whilst in the main such refer to personalities who have evolved beyond
that of the human concept and are now operating in higher planes of consciousness,
they also refer to ourselves. For we must confess that we are known as thine
ELDER BROTHERS. Let this not alarm you for many times have we and our
associates walked among you, even as many do now in various parts of your earth
plane. But we came not to talk of these considerations, but give you this in
passing that you might understand something of the operations of the
BROTHERHOOD. The term ADEPT has also been appended to us in that we are able to
(,berate in several planes of consciousness, seemingly to appear and disappear
at will. This is not quite in the manner in which you have been led to believe
but through a principle much different and which does not concern you at this
time.
So, let us pass on to more important things. First, we
would commend those of you who have given sufficient attention and re-search
into the hidden meanings contained in the messages so far released, and this
is, in a manner of speaking, a testing of your abilities to analyze all
information, the main consideration of your assemblage being one of preparation
towards a higher and greater responsibility, not only in the remaining days of
your present cycle, but in the age to come. MANY SHALL BE CALLED, but those
having the. sign of wisdom on their foreheads shall be chosen. Whether any of
you now listening are among the chosen depends upon your willingness to serve,
for free will selection may never be interfered with, and you have the choice
of doing whatsoever you wish.
Now beginning this new year and continuing throughout the
session periods it is our desire that all present continue in their
development. We feel it encumbent upon us to introduce matters referring to
teachings that have been part of your instruction throughout this life cycle up
to the present time. We find it most difficult to select phrases and
terminology suitable to explain that which we wish to portray in order that
confusion be not introduced. For whilst as a body you are most anxious to
improve your understanding, individually there are among you those who incline
to uphold the ancient doctrines and beliefs which have been handed down from
generation to generation. We find no fault with this, for in the main such
doctrines accepted in their positive understanding reveal a way of life, which,
if followed, can produce certain harmonies in the life of the individual. But
the time is now one of REVELATION and we feel that we can impart to you some
deeper considerations of the ancient symbolisms that have been translated into
religious doctrines.
You must have noted particularly that in the past we have
referred to your Bible as a COSMIC RECORD. Actually this is so, and whilst your
present edition has suffered many mutilations as to the various translations
accorded it over the years, the inner or MYSTIC meanings have never been erased
because they were never understood, except by the very few. We shall therefore,
impart to you a summary of those inner meanings referred to. The original
records speak of ELOHIM, which is really a Sanscrit term meaning, `CREATIVE
GODS,' and the one to whom most adoration and worship is given is JAHVA
translated JAHOVAH. This God is a son of the Elohim and was given Creative
rights by reason of his ascension eons ago and experiences through many
incarnations, having come up or evolved through similar planes as yourselves,
although not your earth plane, but one similar in vibrational correspondencies.

TEEN AGE PAGE
THIS "BEAT OR UNBEAT GENERATION
by Bill Hamiliton
The insidious circumstances affecting teen-agers today is
formed out of the thinking of the present mass of unruly, so-called civilized
people. The present seemingly- uncontrolled minds and the resulting teen-age
violence is only the effect of a seemingly uncontrollable nature forcing itself
upon the world today. There is too much shuffling and rattling of money and
bombs. The fear that is rampant in the world today, because of the constant
threat of aggression, is reflected in the uneasy minds of teen-agers.
Many people in the world view with apprehension old blind
Willy steaming down the road on lightning skids in an old, cut and lowered,
hopped up car. What coercion instigated the perpetration of the malicious acts
evident in youth today?
First, I will consider the causative forces of such
malignancy. Today, we have this constant threat of aggression or oppression as
the cause and perpetuator. In this threat we are seeking the cause as coming
from without, as far away as we can think, conceivably entirely from another
country in another hemisphere. But if we look within our-selves, where all
extraneous circumstances actually originate we would then find the source of
all outside unrest. The futility of using force to solve conflict should, by
now, be evident. Conflict should be solved by creating a standpoint on a mutual
basis. From an equilibrated point of view, biased and unprejudiced opinions are
not justified, for their value is only for the individual expressing that
opinion.
Second, let us have understanding of teenage problems
which are also world problems, since the problem of both is the inability to
adjust. The depth to which world affairs has sunken is immeasurable compared to
the amount of strife set forth in curbing such delinquencies. Constant vision
of a not-too-bright future and the threat of total extirpation by nuclear
energy has caused the divided house, and a house divided against itself will
not stand. Today there is segregation in the family, schools, churches,
governments of countries and the countries themselves are divided. The whole world is
in division against itself. Only unity through individuality has strength. A
bundle of twigs banded together have strength in unity, but each is still an
individual twig. Today, we as twigs, are scattered afar, disunited and
unprolific in our cause.
Now ask yourselves why teenagers are in confusion today.
Many of my friends have high aspirations and ideals beyond anything this world
of today has to offer. They are crushed by our insoluble society. They are fed
hot dogs, hamburgers, cokes, refined sugars and such by an unthinking world.
Many teenagers smoke early in life. They are constantly being fed drugs and
poisons contained in devitalized foods which dull their senses. How many
children are inoculated, drugged and branded into the growing lot of society's
robots? They are be-coming irresponsible, but who wants to take over the
responsibilities of such a crazy, mixed-up world! Of course all so far
discussed seems of a condemning nature, but all is not hopeless, for there are peace loving and capable people who are
understanding enough, and who want to extricate us from this mess of conditions
which disorderly people have created. I ask those who would be understanding
to commence cleaning up the disorder. Please, we need unprejudiced, under-standing
people in the world today.
Degradation is the recompense for man's actions in the
past. We must compensate for such unjust acts envisaged for posterity. Correct
the causes and the effects will rectify themselves. Man is the tool of cause
through which the Creator adjusts the effects of man's doings.
Each man is likened unto a diamond, where, no matter if he
descends to the lowest depth of the mire or ascends, scaling the heights to the
stars, he still remains a diamond. But wherein does he shine, like a diamond,
more perceptibly? If he cast his radiance in the light of the stars, he is a
diadem of glowing color, a light unto all. If he is buried in the depth of the
earth, none shall note him more than a dirty rock cast in the way. But he who
has understanding, like the jewel expert, sees the diamond and notes its real
worth, and encases it in a golden ring.
Wherefore then is the likely cause of revolutionary action
among the youth of today but in the very presage of threat because of man's
detrimental thoughts and actions. Providence has proclaimed thee "satire
of thine own cruel rights." Man on earth has to eventually attain the
dreams of a harmonious environment regardless of extemporaneous circumstances
which seem to bind man's efforts. Slavery through ignorance and illiteracy
cannot long hold against man's nature expand. Nay, recalling of the fortitude
of knowledge removes all 16
exemptions from arbitrarily imposed control. We must
equalize color, race and creed. If we work toward common, equal progression, we
seek equal cause and equal justice. Have we been our brother's keeper? No, we
have been our brother's slanderer. The key answer to our problem is true
understanding, not intolerance of tolerance; true love, not passion or
sympathy. In this deplorable hour of abusings let us not forget, Oh Father,
that it is in loving our fellow man that we truly love Thee.

Four Fiji Islanders saw a round white object which came
down and hovered 20 feet above the sea. They saw what looked like a man on the
craft. He shone a very bright light on their boat before the saucer rose
vertically and disappeared. The four islanders have never seen modern comics nor
read any space or saucer books, so scientists are wondering, if they imagined
it, how they could describe so accurately the general conception of a flying
saucer.
Dr. Herbertus Strughold, a scientist in the Air Force's
Department of Space Medicine, has offered a new saucer "explanation"
which is even more absurd than Professor Menzel's. He believes that "eye
defects" are the cause of many saucer reports. He neglected to explain how
these "eye defects" can get on film.
Lester B. Pearson, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, stated
recently that the best hope for world peace may be the discovery that space
ships from another world are watching us. "Then all of us on both sides of
the Iron Curtain would get together and say, "They can't do this to
us."

POET'S CORNER
CLOUD-BURST ON THE BIG-ROCK
From "VERSE AND WORSE" by DAN FRY
When the angry
God of the thunderbolts,
Hurls forth
his blazing brands,
And the
dust-devils dance on the vast expanse,
Of ever
shifting sands,
When the black
clouds fly through a leaden sky,
In a chaos of
swirling strife,
It is then
that the Big-rock river feels,
The stir of
returning life.
From its bed,
long dead through the arid years,
Neath the
pitiless blazing sun,
It leaps once
more with a mounting roar,
Though its
life has just begun.
A short life,
aye! and a merry one,
In a savage
remorseless way,
What man has
wrought, is set at naught,
When the
Big-rock holds its sway.
The great
bridge falls from its granite walls,
A plaything,
crushed and bent,
To pitch and
yaw, in that churning maw,
Till the
river's wrath is spent.
The boulders,
grey, fling gleaming spray,
To taunt the
glaring sun,
In the
grinding crush of the water's rush,
Till its
desert course is run.
BULLETIN BOARD
Due to the increased activity at this time, we have much
more than usual to report to the readers. The Fifth Annual Spacecraft
Convention has been reported elsewhere in this magazine. The report of the
Space Age Convention at Kalamazoo, Michigan, on June 21st and 22nd will be
printed in next month's issue, along with one about Buck Nelson's Convention at
Mountain View, Missouri.
The Stanford Twins of Corpus Christi, Texas, appeared at
the May 10th meeting of the Vista Unit of Understanding, the talk being given
by Ray, who related the experiences of himself and his brother, Rex. The
youthful enthusiasm was quite evident in the young man's account. In the latter
part of his talk, he stressed the idea of the use of considerable discrimination
being employed by the general public in separating fact from fancy when reading
some of the literature on the subject of outer space. This report was submitted
by Rosa Rose, Secretary of this group.
Please, all Secretaries or Publicity Chairmen of
Spacecraft Clubs send in brief articles. such as the above, so that readers
will know of the activities in your area.

On June 6th, the Orange County Spacecraft Club, Unit No. 7
of Understanding, had as their speaker Miss Neva Dell Hunter of Detroit,
Michigan. She gave an inspiring New Age lecture which was heard by an attentive
and appreciative audience. Miss Hunter is making a series of lectures in the California
area and we shall have more news in the July issue.
The Oakland Unit of Understanding, under the able
direction of Della Larson, has had a full schedule this last month. They have
had as speakers Gen. Herbert Holdridge, speaking on the economic situation
which faces the country today and also Major Wayne S. Aho, Director of
Washington Saucer Intelligence, who, naturally, spoke on the subject of
"Spacecraft."

UNDERSTANDING held its first election of National Officers
on May 30, 1958, at their Desert Center in Yucca Valley. They were fortunate in
having almost all of the Units of Understanding represented.
The following officers were elected for the years
1958-1959: President, Daniel W. Fry; Vice President of the Southern California
Area, Vera Kloepfer; Vice President of Northern California Area, William Larew;
Recording Secretary, Lee McMahon ; Treasurer, Florence Fairfield ;
Corresponding Secretaries, Dorothy Harper and Charlotte Sullivan.
A large group attended this meeting and we were happy to
welcome many visitors from all parts of the country. After the meeting Open
house was held at the Center and at the adjoining cabin of Lucille Hughes and
Hazel Schacht, who served delicious homemade cake and good coffee to all who
were present. The consensus of opinion is that "a good time was had by
all."
