similar brightness at present, Mars is of magnitude one, while Saturn
is about five-sixths as bright. The red color of Mars, fortunately,
makes it easy to identify Mars has been to the west of Saturn, but
on Nov 30 passed its fainter brother, and during December is toward
the east and south, gradually drawing farther away.
Among the stars of the month the brilliant constellation of Orion,
the warrior, is most prominent, as he always is in our winter skies. To
locate him, look to the southeast. for the three stars in a row that mark
his belt. The two bright stars just above, of which Betelgeuse is one,
mark his shoulders, while Rigel, below is in one of his feet. As de-
picted in the old star maps, which showed the actual figures around
the stars, he is depicted as holding an upraised club, defending himself
from the charge of Taurus. the bull. This apimal forms another con-
stellation, above and to the right. with first magnitude Aldebaran as
one of his eyes.
On the other side of Orion, shown low in the east, are the two dogs,
Canis Major and Canis Minor which contain the stars Sirius and
Procyon. Of all the stars we see in the night-time sky, Sirius is bright-
est, almost as bright as Jupiter Actually it is not so bright as stars go,
but looks so brilliant because it is one of the closest of the stars.
Alongside Orion, to the north we can see Gemini, tLe twins. with
the stars Castor and Pollux. the latter the more brilliant. And above
them we find Auriga. the charioteer. with Capella. still another star
of the first magnitude

Memorial Tower
At Valley Forge
A $300,000 bell tower is being
constructed at The Washington
Memorial at Valley Forge to house
the National Carillion of 49 bells
and to serve as a memorial to the
patriots of World Wars I and II
Known as the Washington Mem-
orial Bell Tower, the project is be-
ing sponsored by the National So-
ciety, Daughters of the American
Revolution.
Placed on a portion of the his-
toric winter encampment grounds of
George Washington and the Con-
tinental Army, the new bell tower
will be an additional attraction for
sight-seers visiting the area. There
is a bell for each of the 48 States
and National Birthday bell.
Valued at $88,000, the Washing-
ton Memorial Carillion was the
first set of bells made in this
country and is generally recog-
nized as the most perfect set in the
world, according to Mrs, William
C. Langston, of York, chairman of
the committee for the erection of
the
ley Forge.
Hymns and patriotic songs are
played daily at each hour from 10
am. to 5 p.m, at which time the
national anthem concludes the
daily musical program,
The tower's Memorial Room will
have an honor roll listing more
than 10,000 names of veterans of
the Revolutionary War and World
Wars I and II
The community of York, Penn-
sylvania, has given the tower a
stained glass window as a mem-
orial which tells the story of the
brotherhood of four heroic Army
chaplains, This memorial is a
special tribute to Rabbi Goode, a
resident of York, at the time of
his enlistment, yet it also honors
the three other chaplains, Father
Washington, Reverend Fox and
Reverend Poling who, with Rabbi
Goode, when their ship was tor-
pedoed, gave their life belts to the
soldiers, then linked. their arms and
went down with their ship,
Along with its large production
of fruits, vegetables and agriculture
products, including bananas, sugar
cane, tobacco and pecans, Florida
has large fishing interests, phos-
phate deposits, and is rated as the
second largest cattle producing
state in the U.S.
