Meteorites are described as meteors that reach the earth before burning up completely.

They contain the same chemical elements found on earth, but these elements may be in combinations of minerals that do not occur on earth. CAN DY co. STRIKE i A I 324.

"Stones" have "fairly large" a-mounts of iron, silicon and magnesium and small amounts of other elements; they are more common but less easily identified, more subject to weathering and disintegration. It is recorded that iron in meteorites differs in crystalline structure from most iron found on earth. Theories about the origin of meteorites have arisen since ancient times, and peoples of long ago considered them jects of veneration. A great-grandson of John A.

Thompson, Jim Hyer, a science teacher in Eugene, comments that "Meteorites are generally composed of iron, nickel and other heavy metallic ores that fuse together into a tough alloy that slightly resembles tough porcelain." "This stuff orbits the sun and other stars in space and is believed to be the remains of old stars that existed long, long ago old stars that were eventually composed of mostly heavy elements as the lighter ones were consumed as fuel. Some of these stars, when the correct size, are beleived to have exploded before they died, which results in 'space The space junk may float around in space before it is caught by a star's gravity. Some of its falls into stars like our sun and some falls on the planets." The project of 1968 as "The Year of the Meteorite" is a brainchild of Dr. Erwin Lange of Portland State College, Phil Brogan of Bend and State Geologist Hollis Dole. During this year a concerted effort is being made to locate unreported meteorites, either in the field or in private collections, in the interest of extending knowledge of outer space.

The reason: meteorites are the only objects from outer space that people have been able to handle and examine at close range. The State Department of Geology and Mineral Industries has issued "A Collection of Articles on Meteorites" as Miscellaneous Paper No. 11, available for $1. It can be obtained from 1069 State Office Building, Portland 97201. Festival Gets Special Train The "Scandia Limited," a 10-car train, will make its way from Portland to Junction City on the tracks of the Oregon Electric train that began Jan.

1, 1908, is scheduled to leave Portland at Hoyt Street at 7:30 a.m. and arrive at Junction City as part of that community's annual Scandinavian Festival at noon. Included in the 10-car train will be the open air "Rocky Mountain Observation Car," a continental breakfast, box supper and deluxe space for those passengers traveling "first class." According to reports from the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway the special train will leave Junction City at 4:30 p.m. and arrive in Portland at Stops are scheduled for Bea-verton, West Woodburn and Salem during both the leaving and returning trips. The Oregon Electric's final run of its passenger train was reportedly made in 1933 when it completed a round-trip to Eugene.

Sunday's special run is sponsored by the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. Some 300 persons are expected to ride the train to the Scan-. dinavian Festival and its return to Portland.

The couple is looking at the Thompson Meteorite, found at Sweet Home in 1907. Jnjected into a cigarette, the alcohol would soon evaporate leaving the potent chemical behind in an almost unrecognizable form. Legislation now pending in Congress would stiffen penalties for possession, manufacture, distribution, and intent to sell hallucinogenic drugs, including LSD, and sedative drugs and pep pills as well. Simple possession of marijuana now is a felony under federal law, punishable by two or more years in prison. But under present law, possession of LSD, which is far more potent, for personal use is not an offense at all.

The new proposals would make possession of LSD and other controlled drugs a misdemeanor. State laws vary widely their provisions. VENETIAN VAir Schedule Ending Tonight 7 P.M. and 9:30 UNCUT!

According to reports from the Sweet Home offices of Linn County Fire Patrol and U. S. Forest Service, there were no lightning fires started Friday night, but there is a 70 per cent chance of thunderstorms for the weekend. There were no fires of any origin reported from the Linn County Fire Patrol District or from the U.

S. Forest Service area. However, fire danger was listed as high in the Fire Patrol District and moderate by U. S. Forest Service officials in their area.

Willamette Valley residents basked in 90-degree heat Friday, but were not without some precipitation during the past 24 hours. According to reports, .02 of an inch of rain fell Friday, but it failed to help Friday afternoon's heat subside. The low Friday night was 52. The Willamette River is 3.33, down .03 of a foot from Friday. The Dalles had the highest temperature reading in the state Friday with 97, while the low in the state was 46 at Newport.

Baker had the highest amount of precipitation listed, .38 of an inch. Highest temperature reading in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, was at Hutchinson, Kan. with a Friday high of 108.

mo SWEET HOME NOW SHOWING! ROD STEIGER AND "GRAND SLAM" Ey DORIS GUNDERSEN Democrat-Herald Staff Writer SWEET HOME The John A. Thompson meteorite, found by Thompson about 1907 in his pasture on Strawberry Hill, has been treasured since his death by his daughter, Mrs. Lettie San-key, who notes that 1968 is "The Year of the Meteorite" for Oregon. Mrs. Sankey has exhibited the meteorite at local rock and min- eral shows, and her father had it on display in his real estate office here for years.

It was identified officially as a nickeliferous iron type of meteorite more than 30 years ago at Oregon State University. A-bout 12 inches in diameter one way and about eight inches the other, the rock is dark and heavy with lighter brownish Spots, 26 pounds in weight. Mrs. Sankey and her brother, Henry Thompson, recall that their father, upon taking his cows to pasture one day, came across a newly created hole with fresh dirt in it. "It wasn't very deep.

We could see the rock in it," Mrs. Sankey remembers. "The dirt was bare, but there were no Signs of heat or burning." John Thompson dug it out and brought it home in a little vegetable wagon. The date of the discovery has been established tentatively by Henry Thompson: "It happened shortly after 1905, the year of Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, where we saw a display of meteorites. If we hadn't seen the exhibit a short time before, we probably wouldn't have suspected this rock of being a meteorite." Information from encyclopedias and the Book of Popular Science indicates that few if any meteorites are hot enough to scorch plants or earth when they land, though their own surfaces probably melt and disappear from air friction.

Their speed is apparently too great to give time for heat from air friction to penetrate their surfaces into the interior by conduction. However, their rapid passage may violently disturb the air, rolling thunder, artillery fire and even explosions, sometimes a CAinofimaa violent enough to shake a house. But apparently no loud sounds accompanied the landing of the Linn Students Get Degrees Several Linn County students were among some 1,200 receiving degrees at the University of Oregon's summer commencement exercises this morning.

The concern is whether underground chemists will succeed in making synthetic or artificial marijuana. If they do, then a few drops of the liquid "pot" could transform an ordinary cigarette into a potent reefer. Such altered cigarettes might easily pass inspection. Smugglers and pushers might find dozens of new tricks for transporting the concentrated chemical. American and Israeli chemists a few years ago discovered practical ways to synthesize the active ingredients of marijuana chemicals known as tetrahydrocannabinols, or THC.

In quite normal scientific fashion, they published their findings. Some THC now is being made for legitimate research studies to pin down more knowledge about the psychological and health effects of marijuana, including any effects from using it regularly for long periods of time. Federal agents have already "busted" several illegal laboratories where they found some of the starting chemicals with which to make THC, and literature about the process says John Finlator, associate director of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. "We don't know if illegal THC will become a serious problem," Finlator adds. "The raw materials for it are neither easy to make, or to find.

But the underground press is looking for supplies. If underground chemists ALBANY Drive-ln NOS TONIGHT GEORGE PEPPARD isf tun V- IfOMCHH AND aaac Mcuuro ifwan A UNIVERSAL PICTURE TECHNICOLOR PARAMOUNT PICTURES PLUS "HALF A SIXPENCE" cJlJ turn it out. In a countermove, U.S. Atty. Gen.

Ramsey Clark on July 6 signed a proposal to make illegal manufacture or sale of THC a federal offense, punishable by a year in prison or $1,000 fine or both. He acted under the Drug Abuse Control Amendments of 1965. Unless there is objection, the final order covering illegal THC would take effect early in October. Synthetic THC might be produced illegally in pure extracts or as a kind of tarry substance that could be dissolved in alcohol or other solvent, says Fred Garfield, a chemist and deputy to Finlator.
