Millions Of Tons Went
In, But Only Handfuls
Came Back From Plant

Oak Ridge, Tenn.-Millions of ton!
in construction and raw materials
went into the atomic bomb plants
here, but what came out was meas.
urable in handfuls.
Vest pockets sometimes could
carry out the products of what was
probably the greatest construction
job in history. Briefcases in the
early days were regular vehicles fo,
transporting things that promised to
change the course of civilization.
Later on the products reached the
stage of an occasional ton that was
incOnspicuously handled. All the
shipments for the Manhattan dis
trict, the name of the atom bomb
project, were under the direction of
Capt. j. w. Haley, of Boston. ,
The small volume of output is not
incredible when it is recalled, from
official announcements, that early
in the project chemists and physic-
lists had to work with materials
measured in millionths of a gram.
That is something far less than the
weight of human breath.
After a time they got up to thou
sands of gram, something like the
weight of the moisture left on a
thin dime after you lick one side
with your tongue. Then grams were
reached, and in 1914 amounts that
might equal few nickel coins.
Even in the final bomb stages the
actual explosive stuff for big bomb
is not heavy by ordinary standards
of shipment.
In addition to other shipments
there were consignments of radio.
active materials. These are COM
pounds, products of some phase of
atomic bomb work, that are useful
in medical treatment.
These ray materials had to travel
fast, for they usually lost their rays
in days or weeks, and some last only
a few hours.
When brief cases carried import
ant shipments, Officers usually were
the porters. Sometimes they were IN
uniform and sometimes not. Still
other shipments were carried by
two-men teams, riding in a Pull
man room. The pair were not sent
because of weight, but for safe
guarding their cargo.
Guards for all sorts of shipments
were trained uniformly in how to
carry guns in way never to be
seen, but to be ready for quick
draw.

Late Tomato Blight
Controlled In Tests

The worst epidemic of late blight
in tomatoes in years swept across
the mountain areas this summer and
virtually all tomato plants were de-
stroyed except where growers used
fungicidal dusts or spray to control
the disease.
Howard R. Garriss, Extension plant
pathologist at State College, arrang-
ed through county agents fo ra series
of demonstrations. After the tests
were concluded, he made the follow
ing statment: "Fermate, a new fungi
eide, gave fair to good control of To-
mato diseases, where it was applied
regularly and properly, but fixed
coppers such as yellow cuprous oxide
and tri-basic copper sulphate remain
as the best fungicides for tomatoes
in North Carolina thus far.
yellow cuprocide spray has given
excellent results in Ashe and other
mountain counties. This material has
been scarce in wartime but should be
more plentiful next year. Yellow cup
rocide dust is equally effective, when
used properly"
Some farmers applied the dusts to
their tomatoes through closly WOW
en- sack but this was unsatisfactory
for disease control.
Garriss said that rotary type
hand duster Or good puff type dust
er is essential in doing a good Jot
of applying uniform coating of dust
for disease control.
"Where growers busted or sprayed
their tomatoes properly, there was 8
difference of not tomatoes on the un

State College Hints
To Farm Homemakers

Before you start fires this fall,
have the furnace, chimney, and flues
cleaned, and repaired. Burning them
out with a hot fire has destroyed
many homes. Never use kerosene or
gasoline to start a fire.
When not ironing, disconnect the
electric iron. Use heel rest or ap-
proved stand Place electric corGs so
you can't trip on them. Keep them
away from hot radiators.
Good lighting in every room -
meaning light adequate for the ac-
tivity going on-cannot be too
strongly recommended. To avoid
shock and fire hazards, your cleo
trical equipment must be kept in re-
pair-no frayed cords, broken plugs,
and faulty appliances.
Before climbing step ladder, sec
that the spreader is fully extended
and the footing firm. If the ladder
is to stand on a concrete sidewalk
or smooth surface, get someone to
keep the ladder from sliding. Use a
I board under the base on soft ground.
Face the ladder when climbing; DON'T
lean too far out or attempt to carry
too heavy a load.
Firescreens should fit snugly at
top as we'll as sides. See that your
chimneys are clean and in good re-
pair.

FARMERS WARNED

Farmers of North Carolina are
warned against buying more land on

THE NEW 1916 READINGS
ARE NOW READY

r. 81 am 10 years old but
! look older. l feel that it is
time for me to be on my own.
/ read your column every week
and / have never found any
fault with any of your answers.
They are swell. Now there is
man of % who wants to marry
me and / don't know what to do.
He shoot craps, drinks quite Of
ten, seldom lives with his folks
and l just am undecided. There
is second man who has come
in my life and he wants to mar
ry me also. Now the one / love
best is what l call no good as
you see how much l need your
help.
Ans: Young lady you can be-
come independent and make
your own way in the world with
out marrying some man whom
you do not love nor respect.
Both of these boys are lacking
in your estimation of what a
mate should be and that alone is
ample reason why you should
not consider marriage with eth
er. Marriage is too important
to experiment with. And when
you make up your mind to enter
matrimony you should do so
with someone whom you have
implicit confidence, one who
comes up to your fondest expec-
tations and one whom you know
to be gentleman.

should pay for my services.
Should l change jobs?
Ans: Your job Is especially
fitted to you and you have found
it interesting and enjoyable for
all these years and it would
really upset you more than you
think to give it up now. Know
ing your employer as well as
you do, you might discuss the
matter and it is very likely that
an increase in pay can be ar,
ranged. The manner in which
you approach this subject will
probably determine whether
you will get this matter handled
favorably s ogo about it in as
courteous, ard pleasant a man..
ner as possible. II you do not
succeed the first time it will at,
least be under consideration
with your employer which will
be step in the right direction.
In the meantime, show that you
are deserving Of a raise.

with man and he is going with
another woman. She gives him
her money and ! want to know
If he loves me or does he care
more for her?
Ans. Regardless of his feel
ings for you if he is going with
and accepting money from an
other woman, you do not want
to get too deeply involved. Draw
the line right now-either he
gives up the other lady or you
let him kno wthat you intend
to get out and make new ac-
quaintances. Choose friend
who is able to stand on his own
feet financially.

Sunday communique reported that
bombers and fighters dropped $40
tons of bombs in support OF the
ground drive.
At last reports the Yanks were
about three miles from Baguio on
the west and around seven miles
on the north. They held high
ground and were in position for the
kill.
The 32nd Division, under Maj.
Gen. William H. Gill, and the 25th
Division of Maj. Gen. Charles L.
Mullins, Jr., were bitterly engaged
at Balete Pass.
Both divisions were confronted
by stubborn Japanese troops, hea-
Wy artillery fire, knife-edge ridges
and wooded terrain. Some
of the hillsides are so steep the
Japanese have sunk vertical shafts
and from them have dug pillbox
apertures overlooking the trails.
For six weeks the 32nd Division
has measured its gains in yards
One advance was made by push
ing sandbags ahead for cover until
the Yanks reached and blasted
caves. So far ere than $50 caves
have been sealed by demolition or
cleaned out with flamethrowers.
The Yanks make their greatest
kills during the nightly enemy
counterattacks. Tight U. S. peri
meters are studded with warning
devices and BOBBY traps. It's a.
hour war.
A succession of pillboxes limited
American gains last week to from
II to 600 yards day in the Balete
Pass sector. The Americans still
were about 5000 yards south of the
pass itself All approaches to Balete
are covered by cross-fire.

pi in southeast Luzon. The Japa

WASHINGTON, April Is -R-
It won't be long before President
Truman gets good talking to by
the secret service, experts in that
line predicted today.
Z And he. not being a man TO
worry folks unduly, likely will
assent smilingly to their pleas for
little less moving about.
But until the unexpectedly
elevated new Chief Executive gets
used to the constant companion
ship of the secret service, there
may be some new gray hairs
among those traditional guardians
of the President.
When Mr.. Truman makes up his
mind he wants to go somewhere,
it takes more than arguments to
stop him.
To the secret service agents.
nothing is so disturbing as a pres
ident on the move.
Their responsibility for his safe
