Homen'k rs Told
Peace Is Only
Atomic Defense

Surrounded by masses of lovely
spring flowers, and. confronting
300 Homemaker Club members ar
rayed in their bright spring
clothes and flower bedecked hats,
DR.. Mark Groubard of the Univer-
sity of Maryland explained to the
Women the stark realities of
atomic warfare. The occasion was
the annual Spring Meeting of the
Montgomery County Council Of
Homemaker Clubs, held in the
Damascus Methodist Church Tues
day afternoon.
DR.. Groubard, in explaining in
detail the action of an atomic
bomb, said that one bomb weigh
ing from two to ten pounds could
do the same amount of damage as
500 B-29's fully loaded with ex-
pIosives, at mere fraction of the
cost. The atom bomb is the size
of watermelon, although it's
casing and mechanism make it as
large as a beer barrel. He ex-
planned that when a bomb goes
off over a city, there is created
ball of fire, 1/3 of a mile across,
with a temperature of 100 million
degrees Fahrenheit in the center
of it. Around this ball are gen
Grated winds which rush forth in
all directions at speeds ranging
from 500 to 1000 miles an hour.
In addition, the detonation releas-
es powerful radiations which act
like lethal rays toward man and
beast by destroying the blood
forming tissues in bone marrow.
An amusing incident occurred
when DIR. Groubard explained the
relation of uranium to the atom,
and then showed the women a
piece of the precious ore about
the size of pea, but equivalent
to five tons of coal in energy.
When the vial containing the ura-
mum was upset, the women
gasped, only TO be assured, smil-
ingly By DR.. Groubard, that it
wouldn't explode!
He explained that there are only
two defenses for the atomic bomb,
decentralization, or peace. The
former seems impractical in our
democratic country, so the latter is
the only solution. The only way
that permanent peace can be Sc

Farmers May Sell

7. A. Barnsley, chairman of the

ington or Liberty Milling Com
pany, Germantown, before May

The purchase of Is more new
school buses was ordered by the
County Commissioners at their

ming of the school year next Fall.

recinded though the prices were

A citizens association of the
kensington vicinity has written
