/ THE GOUVERNEUR TRIBUNE-PRESS Northern New York's Greatest Weekly VOL 73. NO. 51—THONf I ft—*-0. IOX 261 GOUVERNEUR, NEW YORK. THURSDAY. AUGUST (I, I960 14 PAGES. 2 SECTIONS * * * * MASON S11 Tf Strange \ \ si/ence I N this fait-moving world of technology, it's a Little difficult even for a scientiat in the business to predict what's to happen next But if theft have been any really serious doubts about America's position in the space race, the past weak should have set them at rest. 'indeed, it should not be surpris- ing it our new star in the sky, the 10-story communi- cations balloon which went up 1000 miles last week has since been Vis- ible to the i eye as it pursues its south-north orbit, should capture even more of the worlds attention than the Soviet Unions trumped-up and-U.S propaganda at the Powers \spy trial\ in Mos- cow this week. It has become rsther common- place for this country to shoot an Atlas down the Atlantic or the Caribbean for 5,000 miles or so. and right on target; and now and again the Russians say they have succeeded in the same thing, over the Pacific, although not as fre- quently. But as of today's date the United States has the largest num- ber of satellites soaring in apace, and in the course of a single week has marked up these unequalled, unprecedented achievements: 1) Put up the communications balloon; 21 Set a new record of 131,000 ft. with the X-15 experimental plane, manned by an Air Force test pilot; 3) Put up another space satel- lite and then ejected from it a 300 lb., heavily instrumented capsule —and recovered it successfully in the Pacific Just north of Hawaii; and 4) Sent the Atlas successfully down the Caribbean range. Krushchev 4V Co. have undoubt- edly taken due notice thereof and may he expected to^aWSsm*tfcaan- seTves accordingly, notably by pumping up the propaganda for all they're worth about something else, to distract attention as much as possible from ail of this. Meanwhile, a strange silence about space matters seems to have enveloped Senator Kennedy and the Democrats, Just a little while ago they were condemning Presi- dent Eisenhower, Vice-President Nixon and Republicans in general for letting the United States fall behind in the space race, and for allowing this country to become a \second rate military power.\ Board seeks cut costs in V fa 2 r&^f-^^N&fc The Gouverneur Central School j used school bus No bids were re- District board of education opened reived two weeks ago after the bids for transportation, fuel, milk, ibus was first advertised Also, the bread and ice cream at its meeting board will advertise for bids on a Monday night, then spent nearly j 1,000 gallon oil tank formerly used two hours discussing ways and!at the Ralmat school, means of reducing cafeteria costs I The board also will advertise for in the district. i bids on repair work at the Brasie Board President Clifford Mc-(Comers school The work will in- cumber expressed disappointment -volve the laying of approximately that the bakeries bidding on bread 1250 feet of eight-inch pipe six feet gave no alternate bid for a \one , below' ground surface Specifica- drop\ delivery, which was asked 11ions for the work will be ready in the bid advertisements. j 81 ** available to bidders at the \We might save about $30 a day ;<*«* s office later in the week, on milk by having all of it deliver- Transportation bids received ed to one point in Gouverneur and *T r f tr ™ w »»««\ Walton Ru h distribute the milk ourselves,\ i PaUon Jerome K Lamb .Harold McCumber pointed out But he : *~ !t ' E,leen Wood *' Ma5le said the district cannot afford toi*** 1 ** 61 *' distribute the milk only.
