The Harrington Lions Club held
their Second Semi-mOnthly meeting
last week with a very fine dinner at
the James Restaurant. There were
twenty two Lions present. with one
new member; Robert Campbell.
The meeting was adjourned at 500
p. NJ.
A friend in need is friend in
deed. so says Willis Laughery,
farmer near Pennington, when
friends called at his farm ana help-
ed with the farm work. Last Mon
cav. members of the Harrington
Grange of which he is member
and a group of FLA boys from the
High School assembled at his farm
2ud cut and shucked his corn crop.
+ Mir. Laughery was badly burned
while repairing his milk truck Il
few weeks ago. and since then has
been unable to keep his work up.
So this welcome help makes 1t pos
sible to get his wheat crop seeded.
The party was composed OF Mr.
George Wilson, Mr.. Alfred sharp,
MIR. Hawk. Mr.. Phillip, MIR. George
Nappa. Alvin Thompson, Howard
J Morton. Marvin Brown. Raymond
Brown and William Welch. y lively
spirit of competition in cutting,
shucking and tying corn arose
among the Future Farmer boys and
gave a more pleasant aspect to
what is normally the meanest joh
that a farmer has to do. Refresh
ments were served by Mrs
L.aughery and her mother.

W1U Atom Bomb. Blast ObserUers Out Of Pacific?

been seasick before in their lives"
 Fears None Will Return
 A great deal of discussion either starts from or, eventually, drifts around to the pessimistic opinion of a Russian seismologist now at Johns Hopkins, who wrote in the respectable journal Science that he feared none of us ever would return to tell what happens at Bikini.
 This Schneiderov's theory is that the A-bomb blast will trigger" an earthquake shock that will split the whole crust of the earth in two. The oceans water, rushing into the crack, will be turned into steam by the earth's super-heated interior, and that steam will split the crack farther open. The whole operation of the system will be thrown out of whack.
 This theory created quite furor when. a science writer picked 1t up for newspaper use, though he care- fully cited top scientific opinion to demonstrate that Shneidervo un- doubtedly is wrong. A San Francis co newspaper printed the article with a scare head, and members of the ships crew were so disturbed that the science writer was asked to broadcast reassurance to them on the internal radio hookup.
 None of the Appalachian's pas sengers consider Shneiderov's theory worth worrying about. It Allies in the face of the opinions of Scient- iSts in whom we have infinitely more faith. We scoff, but we do talk about it-half, at least, jocularly.
 If The Eearth Splits
 of the earth really should split and you fellows should disappear down in its interior" jibes the cor respondent who will be flying In an observation plane at that mo- ment, "I'll watch what happens and send word to your families so they needn't wonder"
 That's good of you" retorts one who will be ship-bound, "but just where are you expecting your plane to land after the earth has split wide open?"
 "Oh, I'll just pick whichever half looks better"
 You'd better pick the northern half, and pick right, if you want to get back to your wife and fam ily."
 The biggest news story that could come out of Operation CrosSroads, the veteran newshounds abroad agree, would be if, in one way or other, the bomb should not only sink all the target ships but also either sink all the operational craft and observation vessels or, in the alternative, kill everybody aboard.
 Lets not worry about that" suggests one spectacular. If that happens we won't be reporting it."

What R Idea Intrigues Those Who Watch Tests
By s. BURTON HEATH


 Aboard U.S.S. Appalachian, in the Pacific, June 26 (NEA) It would be an exaggeration to say that any of the few hundred non- technical observers now awaiting the Bikini experiments feel any genuine apprehension about what will happen to them in the great atom bomb tests known as Opera tion Crossroads.
 Consciously, they have accepted the assurances of experts that, with the precautions that are being ob- served, we shall be approximately as safe as we should be crossing Fifth Avenue, in midtown New York, against the traffic lights as rush hours. Consciously, our curio- sity about what is going to happen is purely scientific.
 Nevertheless, 1t must be confessed that informal seminars and bull sessions on the subject seldom end without a spot of speculation about what would happen to us--if ... Great Array On Hand
 After all, some 200 reporters plus an equal number of military and naval observers, about 40 lay scient- ists and an as yet unknown num- Der of Congressman will be sitting on the Pacific Ocean, when that bomb explodes, not less than 13 miles and not more than IS miles from the bulls eye. And no atom bomb has ever yet been exploded over water. The scientists are quite sure they know what will happen. But
 '"The scientists have always been right thus far" says an optimist.
 Right after a fashion," retorts an agnostic, "but every time up to now they've underestimated the destructive forces that would be un- leashed. They haven't underesti- mated beyond the limits of permis- sible scientific error-not yet"
 Suppose" suggests anoth CT, that this bomb should prove a dud. Where would that leave us?"
 With a good news story, of course" answers a fourth. We would not, hope, be like the cub reporter who was sent to cover a wedding, and didn't send in any story because the bride shot the groom in front of the church so there wasn't any news. If it's a dud we have story. But suppose this bomb were to amaze everybody by developing 50 percent efficiency. Then where would we be? With a hot story we couldn't transmit, be- cause there's no radio in Heaven?" A Tidal Wave, Perhaps
 The consensus was that If the bomb did that well we wouldn't survive to tell the story. But nobody knows, because nobody outside the innermost circle has the vaguest notion what efficiency previous A bombs have developed, or what is expected from this one.
 Suppose the explosion should send a wave hundred feet high blowing right across Bikini Island at the Appalachian (the press ship) What would happen to us then?' That is rather common specula- tive gambit at such sessions. The general opinion usually is that the observation craft will be headed bow on to the target area, with a bit of headway, and that they could ride such a wave safely by the time it reached us.
 But" some believe, you would see men leaning over the rail about that time, who never have

TRAILERS


 Paramount rigged me up trailer to use as a dressing room on a location trip the other day. Location trip that's a cin- ematic term meaning, "get that troupe out into the open the studios air-conditioning can't handle that kind of acting!
 But these trailers are wonder full At first I thought it was lit- tie hard to breathe inside mine, but found out that the cars ex- haust had gotten popped through 1t somehow. Somehow If Para mounts not satisfied with my contract, why don't they come right out and say so, instead of being so sneaky?
 Of course, the trailers ride lit- tie bumpy. I tried shaving en route and when I arrived, my bandages still had five o'clock shadow. It was so tiny, my make up man had to stand on the out side and work on me through a window. You can cook in these trailers, even If 1t is a little crowded. I baked an angelfood food cake and had to take it out- side to put on the wings.
 There are plenty of trailers around now and you can buy them on the installment plan. In fact, if you buy one on time, they even build a sun-deck on top. That's where their collector rides until you finish the payments.
 But I have serious notion to buy one. There's just one thing that's holding me back. I can't figure out how to hook It onto my bicycle.

US. Cool
 To Germs |Wor Pact

Washington, June 26 - (UP)- Bacteriological warfare, which the War Department says it has devel- oped to point where 1t is more destructive than atomic bombs, has been outlawed by all the major powers of the world except the United States for nearly 20 years.
 Forty-one nations, including the Soviet Union, are legally bound not to use meteorological methods Of warfare under a protocol to the Geneva Arms Convention of 1925.
 The United States representatives signed that protocol, but the Senate never ratified it. The protocol is still pending" in the Senate after being submitted in 1926 by Presi- dent Calvin Coolidge.
 The War Departments revelation of its progress in bacteria weapons, made during testimony on an ap- propriation bill, coincided with the Soviet Unions demand that the atomic bomb be outlawed by the United Nations.
 American reaction has been cool to the Russian plan. And the Mos- COW radio called the American plan forfor control of atomic energy an attempt by the U. s. to dominate the world.
 The United States has been cool to plans for "outlawing" anything ever since It's ill-fated attempt to outlaw war in the Kellogg -Briand Pact.
 There is no indication that the United States would consider it. self morally bound not to use bac- teria weapons, although it is vir- tually only @ moral rather than legal commitment that prohibits the use of gas.
