The low accident death rate

highway travel and swimming
conditions as sunny moderate
weather prevailed in most sec
tons of the country. The coun-

mally boosted the accident toll
as more persons took part in

Ordnance Department
 Develops All-Electronic Calculating Machine

A new machine that is expected to revolutionize the mathematics of engineering and change many
 of our industrial design methods
 has been announced by the War
 Department.
 Designed and constructed for the Ordnance Department at the Moore
 School of Electrical Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania by pioneering group of Moore School
 experts, this machine is the first all-electronic general purpose com outer ever developed. It is cap- lable of solving many technical and scientific problems so complex and difficult that all previous methods of solution were considered inprac-
 tical.
 This mathematical robot, known
 as the ENIAC (Electronic Numeri-
 cal Integrator and Conputer), is
 the invention of Dr. J. W. Mauchly
 and MT. J. Prosper Eckert, Jr., both
 of the Moore School. Begun in 194S
 at the request of the Ordnance De-
 pertinent to break mathematical
 bottleneck in balliStic research, its
 peacetime uses extend to all
 branches of scientific and engin-
 eering work.
 The ENLAC Is capable of com putting 1000 times faster than the
 most advanced general-purpose cal
 culating machine previously built. The electronic methods of comput- ing used in the ENIAC make it pos sible to solve ia hours problems which would take years on 8 me- chanical nachine-a time 90 loag
 as to make such work impractical. Containing close to 18,000 vacuum tubes in it's mechanism, the new machine is a giant of electronic pre- cision. It occupies a room 30 by 50 feet and weighs 30 tons. Although the machine was origin ally developed to compute lengthy
 and complicated firing and bomo- ing tables for vital ordnance equip
 ment, it will solve equally com plex peacetime problems such as ! nuclear physics, aerodynamics and scientific weather prediction.

Rough Day
CContlnued from February 14)
By Dean TUitcheII


 We left our hero, Flash Sparko, in possession of some gravy, but very unpopular In the yard because he had actually used swear-words while getting a 'leaF' to his work. It was now about ten-thirty.
 Above him on the Pollywog's top staging, one of Portsfoot's larger contributions to the hazards of sub- marine building hung heavily across the rail. He had just finished look ing over the nine inches of weld ing on a light-fixture foundation and he was tired. But a persistent flashing down below kept getting in his one open eye, and something about this particular flashing reused his over-developed suspicious.
 "The guy must have glue on the ends of his rods' he opined to a fellow rail-bender. "rd better look into this, as that is a mighty im- p0rtant piece of work he Is doing" !" He showed off in a hurry, deter imitation in every line of face and body.
 After 8 little delay, brought on by friends of both sexes, we see, an hour later, the inspector bending over the unhappy welder's work, crayon in one hand and flaShlight in the other. Poor Flash was miser- able, for his one faithful friend, Hank Udercutt, had been telling him why everyone was avoiding him this morning, and now here was this big inspector. He nervous ly transferred his eleven stubs to his rod box.
 "n know enough to stay home after this'' he groaned to Wide gapp, the Shipfitter who had set the work up. A grunt was the only reply.

GROTON NEWS

It looks pretty sure now that the hospital will be erected in Groton. There has been no little bird about but from where we sit the prospect looks very good.
 The Groton Non-Partisan League is now planning on expanding into the Township during the month of March. Good luck, boys.
 Amongst the other definite plans for the future Is the establishment of a Groton Board of Trade. It is planned to have six members on this board which will include a member from the thriving and wide awake Groton Gasolene Retailers who have already set a plan in &C., ton for the coming year. Their Sunday opening dates will be seen on the opposite page.
 Four new members were accepted into the Groton Non-Partisan League at their last meeting. Any of you Grotonites with pro- gressive ideas who want to see your township forge ahead should attend the meetings of this live wire organization. They are held every other Tuesday at the Borough Hall on School Street, Groton. You are sure to find a warrp and hearty welcome.

Seconds later . roar from the in- spector caused work stoppage in that part of me yard. Sparko really started shaking now, and not from any hangover either.
 Far up forward in the torpedo room, M: B;gsizer heard the in- spector's voice He had heard 1t before and vague chill shook his frame. Breaking away from an anxious discussion with MT. O'Toole on how to avoid undercutS and pin- holes, he hurried aft, leaving his fellow supervisor in possession of a hot piece of scrap iron with an unusual weld on it.
 Sparko's boss needed no one to direct him to the trouble zone, as several other figures were hurrying in that direction. One of them was a disgusted chipper, Mike Chop penn. He had threatened to quit that very morning. Why should I have to work with that guy? I never did nothing wrong here did IF" He too, knew what that roar meant. It meant work for him.
 Blood was dripping from the parked knuckles of the inspector, and Flash sat slumped on a nearby plank, dazed look on his face.
 Bigsizer sized up the situation in glance, and he advanced within two inches of the Navy man. De- lighted grins appeared on the faces of the growing circle of spectators. The welder was forgotten for the moment.
 What's the big idea, hitting my man?"
 Hitting your mani I didn't hit nobody"
 Voices rose in the heat of argu- nnent and a switcher up front of the boats ground to a stop, it's op- orator succumbing to curiosity.
 The welding supervisor con- tinued, closing the space between their faces to one inch.
 Don't tell me you didn't hit him! Look at him, and look at your knuckles! I've good mind - -
 T skinned my knuckles marking up his welding! Look!' and the in- spector pointed to where his crayon lay in several pieces in the bevel and bits of human skin decorated the rougher portions of the bead Sparko had applied therein.
 A pleased grin replaced the fight ing look on Bigsizer's face, in fact he laughed outright. The disap- pointed crowd melted away.
 Flash Sparko's troubles were not over yet, though. Rougher portions of the day still lay ahead.

Presbyterial Meet
Comes To Close Here
BY SUSAN E. HALL

The 58th meeting of the Whining
ton Presbyterial auxiliary, which
had filled the Winter Park Pres
byterian church to Overlooking for
two days, came to an end on
Wednesday afternoon, with the in
stallation of officers for the new
church year, by Mrs. George U.
Baucom, of Raleigh, president of
the North Carolina Synodical aux
iliary. Mrs. J. M. Gregg, presl-
dent of Presbyterial, enters upon
her second year.
There were over 300 delegates
and visitors registered, from fifty
five auxiliaries, and everyone OF
the fifty-five sent in report to
the secretary, Mrs. Howard Gan
sitter.
The years achievements OF all
these auxiliaries were reviewed by
the six district chairmen and the
secretaries of all the causes OF the
church. The reports showed re-
markable progress in the work of
the Kingdom of God, a new
earnestness and many gracious
signs of spiritual growth.
The tremendous labors Of the
women of these ten counties of
southeastern North Carolina seem
miraculous when compared with
the first timld efforts of the little
band of the 1905, who started
out as the Ladies' Foreign Mis-
sionary Union of Wilmington Pres
bytery."
The Winter Park church, which
was hostess to the Presbyterial
meeting, was built by DR.. James
Sprunt, to the glory of God and
in memory of his sister, Mrs. B.
F. Hall, Who was the founder of
the "Union." This church, which
has had a rem arkable history, was
a perfect hostess. Its Well-equipped
home and beautiful grounds were
in lovely springtime order; the
pastor, Rev. A. K. Dudley, and
his people, worked tirelessly over
the preparations; every detail was
planned so that the whole meeting
moved without delay Or friction;
two delicious luncheons were
served to the hundreds of guests,
in the Chadbourn Memorial build
ing and on the lawn; exquisite
flowers and beautiful music added
their appeal to the services.
The next place of meeting, in
the spring of 1947, will be at Old
Grove church, Kenansville, which
dates from 1876, one of the first
strongholds of the Presbyterian
church in the state.
