and Philip Dana Orcutt, Winchester, N.R. In his remarks about the first year of the council, Gray said its principal concern had been in recognizing problems in the watershed, bringing them to the attention of the public and especially the town officials who were in a position to initiate corrective action. The Council represented the Millers River at many water resource meetings, spoke of their activities to civic and youth groups and took part in many studies of the river, he said. Gray said one such study is that presently being made by the Department of the Army Corp of Engineers, where the possible division of SO called "surplus water" from tributaries of the Millers River. into the Quabbin Reservoir is being considered.
The council is voicing strong disapproval of the plan by emphasizing the point that as long as the Millers River remains polluted, the diversion of up to 65.2 million gallons of water a day, away from the Millers River will greatly multiply the problems of the river and every town associated with it. Because of this pollution problem, no clean water going into the river can be considered surplus to it's teed, he said. council is offering as an alternative plan that the $36,000,000 be used to clean up the river and build the diversion facility, for taking truly surplus water, from the Millers River. The program also served as the kick of drive. the annual membership The program was presented by Mr.
and Mrs. Lee Wulff, internationally, record known holders out- in the world of fly-fishermen. Films on fresh water and saltwater fishing were shown in addition to a film on deer hunting in New Hampshire. Also, they gave a demonstration of fly casting, answered questions, and displayed a new development in fly rods. Wulff also advocated that fishermen should return -their catch to the water so that more and better fishing could be developed.

candidate has been challenged by Democratic National Chairman' Lawrence O'Brien, who has charged Wallace will make a shambles out of the nominating process by entering party primaries. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana Sunday would not support Wallace. "I think Wallace is, in effect, running under the Democratic banner for purposes of his own," Mansfield said. Mansfield appeared on ABC's "Issues and Answers" broadcast. In other political developments, this month's gallup Poll showed Sen.
Edmund S. Muskie of Maine for the first time has been picked over Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts as potential Democratic voters' choice for the party's nomination. Thirty -two per cent of those responding to the January poll favored Muskie while 27 per cent went for Kennedy, 17 per cent for Minnesota Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, 5 per cent for Lindsay and 5 per cent for former Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota. Meanwhile, Kennedy, who has persistently denied any White House aspirations for this year, predicted in Providence, R.I., that President Nixon will set a specific date for total U.S.
withdrawal from Vietnam as the November election draws closer. "As long as the U.S. soldiers are being held prisoner in Southeast Asia, as long as this country, continues the bombing, in Vietnam (and Laos and: as long as American troops remain there, the war will continue to be a major issue," Kennedy told students at. Providence College. Oregon Secretary of State Clay Myers said in Salem Kennedy's name may appear on the state's May 23 presidential primary ballot despite the senator's repeated disavowal of candidacy.
Under Oregon law, the secretary of state decides which presidential candidates are "generally advocated" and should be listed on the ballot. People listed can't remove their own names by denying their candidacies, as Kennedy did in Massachusetts and Florida. In St. Paul, McCarthy, who sought the Democratic nomination in 1968, hinted he may lead a third party effort in November "if the Democrats don't give us a choice." "The two-party system is justified only if it gives people a choice on the important issues," McCarthy told a crowd at McAlister College. Campaigning in Jacksonville, former Vice President Humphrey said he would be honored to have Gov.

(AP) People lose hats, umbrellas, dogs and even each other. But imagine what it would be like to be an astronomer and lose something like a comet? Up until a couple of weeks ago, there were five "lost" comets whose whereabouts were unknown even though the telescopic detectives knew where they should have been.
One of these prodigals has been found, which leaves only four to go. Comet Tempel One is back in sight according the International Astronomical Union's Central. Telegram Bureau in Cambridge. Dr. Brian Marsden of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, head of the bureau, credits Dr.
Elizabeth Roemer of the University of Arizona with spotting the celestial wanderer. Dr. Roemer used a 90-inch telescope and accurate computer position calculations to sight Tempel One, which reappears every five and a half years. The vonly previous confirmed observations of the comet were in 1867, 1873 and 1879. Dr.
Roemer's rediscovery of Tempel One also confirmed that she had actually rediscovered the comet in 1967. At that time she made only a single observation which could not be confirmed. Calculations based on her most recent sighting verify the 1967 observation. The critical calculations used in the sightings were produced by Dr. Marsden, Dr.
Joachim Schubart of Wst Germany and Dr. Guntram Schrutka of Austria. Their position predictions were computed using data from the 19th century observations. Dr. Marsden, who is one of the world's leading comet experts, says that modern techniques using computers and a high-power telescopes have reduced the number of lost comets from about a dozen 20 years ago.
The composition and characteristics of comets make it easier to understand why they can be lost in the vastness of space. Comets are thought to be relatively small concentrations of dust, frozen gases and water which move in elongated orbits around the sun. As they approach close to the sun, they glow brightly and tails of dust and ionized gas become visible. Dr. Marsden says the nucleus, or core, of a common comet can be one to 50 miles in diameter.
This core is surrounded by a less concentrated crown of dust and gases called a coma, which can be hundreds of thousands of miles in diameter. And recent spacecraft observations have discovered even larger envelopes of hydrogen around some comets. Dr. Marsden liberally estimates that there are billions of comets orbiting about our solar system in looping, elliptical orbits around the sun. Many of these have smaller orbits and make periodic returns to the vicinity of the earth in a few years.
Others, like the well known Halley's, take decades. And some may not return for thousands of years. Dr. Marsden says there are 63 comets which make frequent visits to the vicinity of earth, taking from three to 150 years per trip. Of these, four are 1 not on schedule, or lost.
Modern technology eliminates such reasons for lost comets as errors in original calculations and inadequate observations of previous appearances. Extreme orbital fluctuations of disintegration of the comet itself can also mean a lost comet. Both of the later reasons for lost comets have ever broader implications. Why would a comet's orbit change if known gravitational forces haves been taken into account? Dr. Marsden says orbital changes are probably caused by the sun affecting the coment.
"The sun shines on the ice and other particles and it cuased some of them to be dejected into space," Dr. Marsden says. "This causes a rocket effect which pushes the comet." Dr. Marsden says this minute nudging can either advance or delay a comet's orbit. With each passage around the sun, a comet loses parts of itself loosened by the sun.
Dr. Marsden says that if the comet is a frothy, "soft snowball," then it could melt away to nothing and be lost forever, He adds that if it has a more solid core, the ice could melt away and it could eventually turn into a nonluminous, solid asteroid. "I suppose yo could say that all comets are dying bodies," Dr. Marsden says, "'They'll either dispurse or go down to the core." Dr. Marsden says that the study of comets may tell us more about the origin of the solar system than a study of the larger planets and their moons.
"They could tell us much about the primitve nature of material in the solar system," Dr. Marsden says. "There are believed to have been three basic kinds of matter at the beginning: gaseous like the sun, solid like the earth and inner planets, and icy like the comets and outer planets." He says that there are even theories that the outer planets, such as Neptune and Uranus, are actually collections of comets swirling together. "The study of comets will give us some real advances in the future as we seek to discover the nature and origin of the solar system," Dr. Marsden says.
