FACILITIES FOR
new BOMB UPPED
OAK RIDGE, TENN, Aug. 8-U.H

OAK RIDGE, TENN, Aug. 8-UH
Col. K. D. Nichols, district engi-
neer for the Clinton Engineering
Works, had revealed today that IA
cilities FOR production of the atomic
bomb are already being expanded.
In his first interview since the
military made public its top-drawer
secret, Nichols said that the Oak
Ridge plant had been given its pro-
duction schedule in 1912 land we're
right smack on it.
I'VE were given job to do" he
said. That job was the develop
ment Of explosives for the use 1T
war. We are fulfilling that job now,
and more plants are being built
for the purpose of manufacturing
atomic bombs"
Describing the development OF
the bomb as the greatest gamble
in history" Nichols expressed the
opinion that it would be worth the
two billion dollars invested because
it would very likely shorten the
Pacific war"
He disclosed that the Oak Ridge
location was chosen for the bomb
production because of the nearness
with it's unlimited supply of cleo
tricity.
Since the very first bit OF
ground was broken for the project,
Oak Ridge has received top prior
ity for literally everything it need
3D." Nichols said.
What has already struck ia
pan," ne said, sis only foretaste
of what is coming"
Nichols said that he was in no
position to speculate on the pos
sible peacetime application of the
newly harnessed energy, b
added:
Il trust that it will be kept right
here in the United States.
Meanwhile, the War Manpower
Comm ssion has sent out a call for
an additional 10000 workers for the
Oak Ridge project. VINO revealed
that over 1000 men had been re-
ferred to the Clinton Engineering
district during the past 80 months,
although all of these were not &C
copied.

New York.-Pianos are like peo- pie. They feel the change of tenn perature, they need exercise to keep in shape, and should have a peri odic check-up. If you neglect them, they'll have a breakdown and never live to ripe old age.
 Though reconversion is here, it will be some time before you can turn in your old piano for shiny, new model. But by following a few simple precautions which musicians recommend, you can extend the life of your piano many years.
 KEEP IT TUNED
 Most important factor in protect ing your pianos tone is a periodic tuning, says cello virtuoso Edmund Kurtz, who is also 8 pianist. Even though it may not sound out of tune when the scheduled time for this service comes around, have 1t tuned anyway, he warns. For the adjust
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-11-29
Practice These
 Piano Precautions

ments of a pianos mechanism are so delicate that if you wait until it's obviously of pitch, permanent dam- age may result.
 A new piano needs at least four tunings while it is being broken in during the first year. After that, a tuner should come twice a year preferably at the beginning of sum- mer and again when the weather grows really cold, as drastic temper ature changes put extra strain on the instrument.
 Speaking of temperature, keep the room where your piano Is around 70 degrees. Proper humid ity, too, is essential. During months the house is artificially heated, put pan of water under the piano, or bank Towering plants near it to maintain some moisture in the air CLEAN IT REGULARLY
 Scrupulous cleanliness is also nec- essary. Keys should be cleaned fre- quently with soft cloth dampened with ordinary soap suds. MT. Kurtz recommends using separate cloths for black and white keys in case the black comes off. Also, he advises, wipe the long way of the keys. Then remove all traces of moisture with a clean dry cloth, or dampness may loosen the glue which holds the ivory in place.
 Give the inside mechanism an oc- casional cleaning, too, to prevent corrosion of strings and settling of dust into the felt. And remem- Der that the wool felt which cush- ions it's moving parts is as attrac- tive to moths as your wool sweater. A few fine moth flakes sprinkled inside the mechanism will discour- age any moths from settling in the piano for good feast.
