Seeing Stars Becomes Family Hobby For Cauls
Dr. David Caul and wife Lois and their four children turned astronomy into a hobby after a 1955 toy planetarium sparked their interest. The Cauls study moon craters, star positions, and planetary data, with Linda Carol, Michael, Robert Alan, and John Stephen actively participating. The family, active in church and scouting, hopes to visit the Hayden Planetarium and continues sharing space science at home and with local groups.

Eisenhower Budget Opens Guessing Game For Taxpayers
The Eisenhower budget to Congress leaves both spending and receipts uncertain, forecasting $101.8 billion in outlays and $193.1 billion in revenues for fiscal 1962. If Kennedy task force recommendations are adopted, spending could rise above $80.9 billion, while revenue hinges on tax and rate changes. The plan underscores how much government will withdraw from the public and how soon business might see gains or inflationary pressure.
