This coverage on a group basis is
the only type of coverage permitted by the Federal law for nonmembers of public retirement systems. Also from now on, Social
Security coverage is a condition of
employment and must be paid.

State Employees' Retirement System contains a sufficent authorization for transfer f r o m his retirement annuity account of the

Payroll Deduction Idea
Where an employee is a m e m ber of the Retirement System but
has insufficient funds in his annuity savings account to pay the
amount due f r o m him for retroactive coverage, the difference
may be obtained through payroll
deductions, the opinion states.

I n presenting arguments to support the proposal the Association
pointed out that the 500 teachers
working In State institutions have
varying work years—some working
10 months and others 11. Both
groups receive the same pay, h o w ever.
Because of the special skill and
devotion to service required f o r
institutional teaching, the Association reminded the Commission
there is a shortage of such personnel due to the competition f r o m
public schools, where the inducements are higher.
T o rectify this situation and
place institutional teachers on the
professional level where they belong, the Association supported
the recommendation that a new
grade—at least Grade 15—be established to which teachers with
master's degrees could be allocated and urged the establishment
of a work year comparable to that
in the public and private schools.

Lobbyist
The lobbyist, because of his presence on the scene, can sense the
direction in which a bill is going. He is better able to assess the
time, value, and degree to which the opinion of his public should
be raised to bring about a desired legislative action. There Is no
greater force In our society than public opinion. Its effectiveness is
demonstrated daily. The advertiser, the publicist, the politician, the
government, all recognize this potency, and all try through one
means or another to control Its direction. Last year, the Association
used this technique with great effectiveness. At the right time and

I t does not seem fair that a
person who has entered
civil
service should lose the advantage
of pension rights only because his
service has not been for a long
period, or that one who has e n tered comparatively early in life
and has given very many years of
service is really forced to continue
if only to safeguard retirement
security.
Vested retirement, or 25-yearservice retirement at any age, can
offset this discrimination.

A Glimpse at the Universe on Christmas.
7957
I N T E R E S T IN THE U N I V E R S E is expanding as the result of
developments like the sputniks and the ultra-sensitive radio telescope,
and is further enhanced now by religious concepts as this is the
Christmas season. W h e t h e r the universe Itself is expanding is a
subject of controversy even among leading scientists.
T h e theory of an expanding universe is that of self-renewal, an
Idea that is taking firmer and firmer hold. T h e sun, for instance, is
regarded as preserving its source of energy through atom-.<;mashing,
and thus being able to replenish as fast as it consumes. I f it can happen in the sun, it can happen in any other star, and in tlie universe
in general.
W e might have to revise some of our ideas about the law of conservation of energy. I f a machine produces as much as it consumes,
w-e have perpetual motion. Perhaps all creation was based on perpetual
motion keeping the cosmic system going, even though that exception
is denied to mortal man and his machines.
Radio Telescope
Gives
Promise
Some aid toward determining whether the universe is expanding
or not may be gained through use of the new amplifier developed at
Harvard University that increases the sensitivity of the radio telescope a thousand-fold. Radiation f r o m hydrogen clouds in remote
galaxies hitherto beyond receiving range may be detected and even
measured. T h e antics of the hydrogen atoms result in radiation on a
wavelength of 21 centimeters, about 8 l i inches. Since radio waves
travel at the speed of light, 186,000 miles a second, the frequency
is 1,430 megacycles. Tlie mid-frequency of the commercial broadcast
is less than 1 megacycle. From study of the transmissions f r o m the
cosmic entities in those distant galaxies may come a clue to the
mystery of what is happening to the universe.
Does it make any practical difference whether the universe is
wearing out or not? T h e question must remain unanswered in the
absence of objective proof. But many who might be of the opinion that
the universe is losing the battle for continued existence would nevertheless have any fears completely allayed by religious faith. T h e
Bible's first sentence is, " I n the beginning God created heaven, and
earth." If creation is accepted as having been supernatural, the safeguarding f r o m destruction of that which was created could also be
considered supernatural.
T h e question of survival has no immediacy. T h e rate of any possible decay of the universe would be loo small to justify anybody in
the next many thousands of years to worry on that score.
More to It than Mere Earth
All of us are primarily interested in the Earth, one of tlie cold
stars of the Milky W a y , but it is well to extend our interest, since
Earth is much like an organ of the body. W e live on the nou:ishing
warmth and light of the Sun as much through the food we eat, for
shelter and clothing, and even the air we breathe. But we depend
somewhat on the Moon, too, which controls our tides, and has side
e f f e c t on our lives, not to forget its aid to public policy by promoting
matrimony.
Both the Sun and the Moon are affected by other astral bodies.
W e really must think in large terms. One W o r l d no longer takes in
enough territory. Nothing less than One Universe will do. T h e era
of the broadened viewpoint already is upon us. A Moon, 250.000 miles
away, and even a Sun 93,000,000 miles away, must no longer frighten
our Imagination.
This Record
W ill Stand
T h e cosmic systems that constitute the universe, our own Milky
W a y being only one of them, are about 2,000,000 light years apart. A
light year is the distance that light travels in one year, and, remember,
light travels at a velocity of 186,000 miles a second. Material bodies
will never attain velocity anywhere near that. Light waves, as well
as radio waves, travel at the highest velocity possible in nature.
Even the Sun, Itself, is therefore relatively close at hand. And if it
is receding toward the constellation Hercules at 12 miles a second,
while rotating on its axis at 175 miles a second, such statistics fall
into the domain of small numbers. So far, it has been a most dependable necessity. Like the whole cosmic system itself, the Sun affords
no reason to mar our happiness at this Christmas time in 1957.

only natural that interest would be stimulated also in what lies beyond
even the orbit level of an artificial earth satellite. Not only was the
world's imagination fired, and deserved credit given the Russians, but
astronomers, anJ mathematicians in general, began to speculate on
whether It would ever be possible to launch an artificial satellite that
would parallel the unique behavior of the Earth's only natural satellite,
the Moon. Of all the Icnown satellites, the Moon alone rotates on its
axis in exactly the same time that it completes one orbit around the
Earth, further corroboration, though none is needed, of the mathematical harmony of the mechanism of the universe. If that identity
can be duplicated artificially, the next step should be easy—to devise
an artificial satellite that, like the Moon, will keep going continuously.

It is with regret that we announct the recent demise of Fred

served on the festival committee
and produced an almost magical
transformation. The Assembly Hall
was a night club for the evening
with dancing silhouettes, musical
notes, autumn leaves, and top
hats decorating the walls. Crepe
paper streamers interspersed with
colored lights and balloons were
draped from the walls to a revolving chandelier of cut glass mirrors
in the center of the room. T h e
mirrors of the chandelier reflected
and multiplied the glittering wall
ornaments.
Tables were arranged for 350
people and every place was taken.
Each table was covered with a
different colered cloth. Harmonizing candles flickered from leafshaped candelabra.
Tubby Wallace's orchestra fui^
nished music for dancing. Entertainment was provided by professional entertainers Including a
comedian, a vocalist, a ventriloquist, and a dancer-acrobat.
In keeping with the night club
atmosphere, there were hat check
girls, waitresses, a cigarette girl,
and a photographer who took
group pictures.
The hospital, which was once
noted for its many fine employee
dances and parties, lost much of
its social life with the coming of
the war and the rapid turnover in
employees that accompanied it.
These functions have been sadly
missed and wiien Dr. I. Murray
Rossman, hospital director, instituted employee family picnics
several summers ago they proved
very popular. So much .so in fact
that enthusiasm was born for a
fall or winter event which would
recreate the old atmosphere of
merriment and at the same time
benefit the fund established in
honor of the hospital's beloved
"Mac."
The festival was highly successful in both of Its objectives and,
to quote one hospital employee,
"was one of the nicest affairs the
hospital has ever had."

Probably the most exciting event
in recent history for Gowanda
