MOON PROPERTY
WASHINGTON — Here's a real
estate guide if you're thinking of
buying a little property on the
Moon. This is what the experts look
for:
Five lunar areas have been
selected by I he National Aeronau-
tics and Space Administration, and
two of these areas have already i
been explored — the Sea of Tran-
quility by the first men to put down
on the Moon, Neil Armstrong, and
"Buz/" Aldrin. And an area in the j
Ocean of Storms was explored by
Astronauts Conrad and Alan Bran,
the second group to put down on
the Mi Kin.
A third area called Frau Mauro j
was scheduled for exploration l>>
the Apollo i:> crew but their ill- j
fati^l flight didn't gel them there
In the selection of these five
areas, hero's what the lunar real
estate experts took into considera-
tion in making their selections.
First of all the areas must be
smooth, relatively free of craters
and boulders.
Card of Thanks
I wish to thank my many friends
and relatives for their visits, phone
calls, cards, letters unci flowers:
also all the ministers that visited
with me. I also want to thank our
friends and neighbors for being so
kind to my wife, bringing her over
to the hospital to visit with me
ever\ morning and every evening
and helping her in every way. 1
want to thank tin- doctors and
nurses that were so nice and kind
to me. They picked me up on my
way down and gave me every care
possible. I«ist but not least were
the ones on the gravy train — three
times a day and always on time
with good food that was well pre-
pared. I enjoyed it so much.

SPACE
AERONAUTICS^
•
There should be no large hills,
high cliffs, or deep craters which
would block or interfere with the
approach path of a landing .space-
craft or the radar signals of the
spacecraft. You'll recall that Neil
Armstrong took manual control of
his lunar lander in the last split
seconds of his approach to the
Moon to avoid landing in or near
a crater.
The lunarseape should bo located
as to allow for the least amount of
fuel consumption in the spacecraft's
lunar module propulsion systems,
or you're not going to make it to
the Moon and back.
And, for a safe approach and
landing, the general slope of the
area must he less than two de-
grees.
Then there's the matter of cor-
rect lighting for the best visibility
as you approach the landing site.
The Sun angle should be 7-20 de-
grees behind your lunar module as
you make your approach.
Of course there are other criteria
related to the mechanics of space-
flight and some laws of physics
which figure In site selection. May-
be you'd belter hold up on that
downpayment.
While the United States has put
men on the Moon on two occasions
and planted the American flag
'.here, it has not made any terri-
torial claims, taking the |>ositioii
that space exploration is under-
taken in peace fur all mankind.
Yet some "far seeing speculators"
have made claims for property and
franchises on the Moon and have
probated these claims.
Since it is highly |>o.ssiblo and
very much in the NASA planning
I hat the ordinary citizen can one
day make it to the Moon without
much more training than it now
requires to ride its a passenger in
a jetliner, maybe these speculators
are smarter than most people
think.

COLL KG K STATION — Someday,
in the not-u*) distant future, gro-
cery shoppers may find their eggs
nestled firmly in bright green, mold-
ed plastic foam trays uverwrapped
| in clear plastic. Dr. F. A. Gardner,
Texas A&M University poultry
scientist, reports.
This particular combination of
carton color, design and construc-
tion material is the result of con-
sumer preference tests conducted
in the Bryun-College Station area
The first of two studies conducted
dealt with consumer preference for
carton color and external egg
characteristics.
"Fggs were displayed on six
standard egg filler flats, painted
red, green, blue, gold, yellow or
white," Dr. Gardner said. "Forty-
seven percent of the 200 persons in-
terviewed preferred eggs displayed
on either the green or red flat.
Almosf G5 percent chose eggs dis-
played on I he three darker colors
with consumers generally feeling
that eggs looked darker or had a
brown tint when presented against
a white background."
One of every four consumers
selected eggs on the green back-
ground as a first or second choice,
lie added.
A portion of this first study was
concerned with consumer prefer-
ence for selected egg shell charac-
teristics such as uniformity of size,
shape, color and degree of cleanli-
ness, Dr. Gardner said.
"Fifty percent of the persons in-
terviewed chose the uniform carton
of eggs as a first choice, he said.
"Twenty-five preeent preferred the
carton containing three extra large
eggs, the I test buy, indicating that
size is also important."
Consumers who noticed the size
advantage, but did not choose the
extra large eggs, said they feared
the large eggs would break on
the way home, he said.
The second study was divided
into four pails, which dealt with
carton design, construction mater-
ial, consumer preference and po-
tential acceptance of relatively new
types of egg cartons and consumer
preference for carton illustrations.
"There was no difference it] con-
sumer preference between the pa
perhoard or molded pulp fullfold
cartons," Dr. Gardner said. "How-
ever, only 16 per cent preferred
the newer center-fold carton."
Fifty-six percent of those inter-
viewed, preferred plastic foam for
carton construction material, he
said Reasons given for the selec-
tion were "they seemed stronger,
cleaner looking, easier to open, of-
fered easier egg removal and could
he used for other purposes," Dr.
Gardner noted. The plastic foam,
molded pulp and paperboard car-
tons used in the test were all of
the centerfold type, he added.
In the new style acceptance test,
"two plastic foam cartons were
preferred by f>5 per cent of the con-
sumers, however there was no
significant difference between eith-
er of the two foam cartons used
or between foam cartons and a
paperboard open-top sealed with a
clear plastic overwrap," Dr. Gard-
ner said. "Seventy-two percent in-
dicated they opened egg cartons
before purchase and those choosing
the visible through carton chose
it because eggs could be easily In-
spected. Most consumers also pre-
ferred carton imprints depicting
eggs in a modernistic setting."
As the survey indicates, consum-
ers want a carton in which all eggs
can be freels seen, which provides
maximum protection against break-
age and opens and stores easily, he
said. At the same time, the pack-
ager wants a carton that stores
easily before use. can l>e handled
by machinery, protects egg quality
and supplies advertising space, he
added.
"Thus come the bright green
molded plastic foam tray over-
wrapped in clear plastic," Dr.
Gardner said "It provides the qual-
ities desired by Ixith the consumer
and packager.
"Commercially, this carton would
afford little opportunity for adver-
tisement, unless we consider the egg
itself as its own l)est advertise-
ment."
