Glimpse* of FutureEditor, Tribune: Havingj.jst returned from the annual Rosicrucian .conventionin San Jose, Calif., and invpressed with the *variousdemonstrations along scientific, mystical, and philosophical lines, may I present a reminiscence of one ofsuch scientific demonstrations, dealing with such ordinary phenomena, as "color”which will certainly be ofgreat interest to many ofyour subscribers.

In the course of variousperformances at the yearlyRosicrucian convention, oneparticularly interesting scientific demonstration, making fabulous impressionsu pon the delegates, waspresented on the simplephenomena of “color.” It

made one wonder, how manypeople know that the colorof anything is simply thewave length of light whichbounces back when the object Is struck by light, andthat without light beingreflected, it would have nocolor at all? Or, how manypeople know that the colorswe can see can be affected byour emotional states; or that

colors can have a direct bearing on our health and peaceof mind?

With attention to just onesmall factor like this, people

can bring noticeable changesabout in their lives. And yetthere are hundreds of subtlerelationships between thehuman mind and the worldit perceives of which theaverage person is unaware.The RosUrucians at t h e i rconvention . emphasized anawakening of these potentials of the mind and presented sound programs for

bringing this about.A demonstration of such

nature on such a simplesubject as common, ordinarycolor, producing such profound, unbelievable facts,makes, one begin to distrustcne’s own five senses. Justly, one may ask himself:“Are we surrounded by somemore perplexities like thisone, then the age of mir

acles is not over yet?”In the light of present-day

widespread laboratory examinations and studies,above described experimentation may provide hints andinspiration to . these manytorturers of nature’s creations.

Our Readers Say . . .Dear Editor:

I thought you might be interested in publishing an item of thisnature in view of the fact thatthese developments are of specialinterest to many people in light ofthe extensive research being conducted along similar lines inschools and laboratories every

where.While ' attending the Interna

tional Rosicrucian Convention inSan Jose, California, I had thepleasure of sitting in on somefabulous demonstrations on thesubject of color. For example, Iwonder how many people knowthat the color of anything issimply the wave length of lightwhich bounces back when the Ob'*

ject is struck by light, and thatwithout light being reflected, it

would have no color at all? Or.how many people know that thecolors we see can be affected byour emotional states; or thatcolors can have a direct bearingon our health and peace of mind?

With attention to just one smallfactor like this, people can bringnoticeable changes in their lives.And. yet there are hundreds ofsubtle relationships between thehuman mind and the world It perceives of which the average person is unaware. The Roslcruclansat their convention emphasized anawakening to these potentials ofthe mind and presented sound

Rosicrucian

Tells Order's

History, Aim“The more we can lean from

our ancestors the better we can

understand the present »nd predict and cope with the future,”Arthur Piepenbrink told membersof Santa Cruz Exchange club yesterday.

Piepenbrink is grand regional administrator of the Ancient and Mystical order of Rosicrucians, which has its international

head-

quarters at San Jose.He told the clob memben at

the Palomar hotel noon meet-

ing his organization has a tra-

ditional beginning n ancient Egypt. Actual organization be-

gan in the tenth century A.D. The movement came to the United States in

1915,and the

San Jose headquarters was es-

tablished in 1927. ___

Piepenbrink explained that theorganization is a fraternal, not a religious group. It works throughprivate instructions and closedmeetings, lie stressed that theorganization attempts to instill

a

“sense of inquiry” into its members which will allow them to as-

similate facts for development ofa personal philosophy of life.

“The more a person knows about life and himself, the bet-

ter able he Is to control hii en-

vironment,” he said. “ t is out of this sense of inquiry that the development of our civili-

zation has come about.”

At the meeting, James Snyderwas inducted into the club.

Next Wednesday noon’s meet

ing will be held in the Cabrillocollege cafeteria and will be followed by a tour of the campus.The board of control will meetWednesday at 8 p.m. in the residence of Arthur Simpson, Felton.

fmm her murder trial court-

room.

She had been under cross examination by Prosecutor Francis W. Mayer. Mrs. Kroe ger. a 44yearold grandmoth-

er. and her hushand. Ralph, are accused of strangling a cowrie whose bodies were dug up from the Kroeger basement

"You dope," she screamed at Mayer, then began to rage in a babble she called Greek

Wants to Go Gomr.

"Listen here, f want to go home." she shouted " 'm walking off right now "

She stepped down from the stand, walked to the prosecution table and scattered Mayer's notes and trial transcript.

Matron Annr Rarrrtt seinedher and Iva broke into moreshrieking. Bailiff Emmrtt Heg erhorst finally picked her upand carried her into a holdingcell next to the courtroom

Mrs. Kroeger earlier hadbalked for nearly an hour at resuming the stand in her trial, now in its sixth week.

Outburst at Judge.

“ know my rights," she Iva Kroeger is carried from the courtroom—<Wirepboto>.

Her reappearance at the aft-

ernoon session lasted scarcely a half hour She refused to an-

swer Mayer's questions and in-

stead sang. "When rish Eyes Are Smil ing "

Earlier in the trial. Mrs. Kroeger. a member of a mys-

tic society (Rosicrucian). draped a rosary on Mayer's

shoulder She repeatedly has drawn re

buke (rom the judge for interrupting thr trial with loudshouts of ■*Nicodemus” at theprosecutor.

She baJked

There was n dramatic presentation of an incident in the lifeof the controversial Paracelsus,the celebrated mystic whose wisdom and foresight were misunderstood by his contemporaries,which the members will long remember. Demonstrations on manypsychic Jaws were presented tomembers which will benefit themin many ways as they in turn areutilized, laws not readily under

stood or accepted by the masses.

Authenticity of the RosicrucianOrder, AMORC, was establishedby the showing of documents fromthe archives. Devoted to furtherinstruction in philosophy, mysticism, the arts and sciences, theconvention attracts outstandingpersonages from all over theworld. It is gratifying to grip thehand of persons from other landsand share a deep sense of brother

hood. Not a few of the memberstook advantage of the close proximity to visit Santa Cruz, and toremark on their pleasure and impression of its beauty and appeal.Many of them promise to make itpart of their annual visit to theconvention.

I felt so proud of our lovelySanta Cruz.

when Mrs. Kate Echols was introduced and asked to presenta very wonderful award to oneof the members: Miss DoraBrydon.

She began, “There is a famous secret society—existing in

all civilized lands of the world.We’ve all heard of it often butmost of us know nothing aboutit. Many great sages of theworld have belonged—the Order claims to go back to Egyptfor Its beginning. The Order isn non-sectarian, fraternal bodyof men and women. This orderis devoted to furthering man’sknowledge of himself and hisuniverse. It strives to aid theindividual to attain his fullstature, morally, intellectually,and physically as human beings.The headquarters of the International Order is San Jose,California — another group atQuakertown, Pa., and anothergroup in New York City. Thismysterious and symbolic so

ciety is the “Rosicrucians/’ TheAncient and Mystical Order ofthe “Rosae Crucis”—the namederived from the use of the roseand cross.”

Mrs. Echols then continued,"I am here tonite to present asurprise and honorary membership, truly an outstanding honor,to our beloved Dora Brydon.”She asked Miss Brydon tocome forward to accept thebeautifully framed award.

Mrs. Echols said, “I take absolute pleasure in presentingthis award to Dora. We all

know her as a person who fulfils all the qualities Rosicru-cians hold up as ideals. She’salways dependable, interestedin the least phase of her job-interested in everything, everywhere, and has had a remarkable career of services to thehighest degree—for she haslovingly and faithfully servedin Jesus' words “the least of

these”—Congratulations for aproud honor so richly deserved—to you our friend, Dora Brydon.”

At this point, the entiregroup rose to a standing ovation for their “Dora,” belovedcharter member and friend toall. ___ _

intuitive knowledge, great inspiration and a new vision of our life’s mission are had. Some call this great experience

LIGHTER SIDEBy DICK WEST

Keeps up with worldWASHINGTON (UPI) —Al

though founded in the 17thCentury, the Rosicrucians, aworld wide philosophical society, have rolled right along withthe times.

In other words, their philosopher’s stone has gathered no

moss.They not only keep up with

the rest of the' world, butfrequently get ahead of it. Atpresent they are so far in frontthey are almost out of sight.

I am grateful to theRosicrucians for sending me alittle pamphlet on the possibility of interplanetary “thoughtmigration.” It has helped meclose the gap.

If the purpose of philosophyis to put a man in tune with hisenvironment and find harmonywithin himself, this conceptmay be the greatest thing sinceConfucius invented the Chinesefortune cookie .

Earth Bound“For millions of years man

has been carthbound,” it says.“He has made this globe —which is a mere speck ofcosmic matter —the center of

his interest.“Now it is dawning upon man

that intelligence is not justlocked within the mortal shellsof earthly beings. Certainlyother worlds in the greater

universe possess the phenomenon of life.

“How many of our moods,our strange impulses, are theresult of the influence of otherminds in space?”

Quite a lot, I would say, andI can’t tell you how comforting

it is to find out what has beencausing all the trouble.I had always assumed thct

my moods and strange impulses were the result of eatiLjhot tamales.

Hints At Anti-MatterWhile philosophical in ap

proach, the Rosicrucian theoryappears to fit in with the latestscientific speculation regardinganti-matter.

Some astronomers • think it

possible that our universe isbalanced by another universecomposed of anti-matter. If so,it is logical to assume thatsome of the anti-planets arepopulated by anti-people.

I am convinced that the antipeople are the ones who havebeen practicing “thought migration’* on me.

Therefore, I am not going to worry any more about whetherI should give up Mexican food.

The next time any strangemood or impulse comes overme, I will simply blame it onsome clown out there in space.

That may be even better thanAlka Seltzer.

R i t u a l W i l l C o m m e m o r a t e G r e a t P y r a m i dOn the date of the autumnaj

equinox In September, whenthe sun on Its journey crossesthe equator, Rosicruciansthroughout the world willcommemorate the building ofthe Great Pyramid of Egypt.

Mrs. Nancy-June Thomas,

master of the local AMORC,Rosicrucian San FernandoValley Lodge, states that Rosicrucians throughout the juris-dlcuon of the philosophic order will gather for a ceremony on Sunday, Sept. 22 atwhich lime they will symbolically reenact the building olthe Great Pyramid of Cheops

Planned m Temple

According to Rosicruciantraditions, states Mrs. Thomas, the pyramid of Cheops atGlzeh was begun about 300CBC at the time of the autumnal equinox.

Unlike the other pyramidsbuilt during the pyramid ageof Egypt, It was not Intended as a burial place of a pha-roah who desired a monu

ment of his reign, but as atemple of learning

The construction of the

Great Pyramid, Jt is said, required a knowledge of all ofthe known sciences of theperiod. Its building entailed amastery of mathematics,

physics, and a considerableunderstanding of those fundamentals of astronomy recognized today.

ReprcieoU AAvaacea

Since the Rosicrucians tracetheir traditional origin back toAkhnaton, Pharoah of Egypt

in 1350 BC, and historicallyknown as the first great personality in history, they commemorate their ancient originby the ritualistic and symbolicr

construction of a miniature

pyramid.

The laying of each stone

represents to them the cul

tural accomplishments of the

order during each year of its

existence. The apex will beplaced upon a miniature pyramid at a future time whenthe ideals of the Rosicrucianmovement have been realized.

The ceremony will be locally enacted at 15716 PartheniaSt., Sepulveda, beginning at 5p m. The public Is invited towitness the ritual.
