Many researchers working on
military rocket-powered weapons
believe that their work on rockets
can be just as important for
peaceful future as it might be for
war. From the aspect of motive
power they know that by the time
they can send a rocket halfway
around the world they are likely to
be within easy reach of the next
phase-interplanetary travel.
That time may not be very far
distant. Present velocity Of a w
type rocket is about two miles a
second. The velocity required to
send one to the most distant spot
on this globe is about five miles
second; and the estimated velocity
needed to get a rocket out Of the
earth's gravitational pull is seven
miles second.

JOURNEY TO THE MOON
Get Your Rockets Tuned Up

Science has advanced to the point
where, when you talk about taking
a trip to the moon, people no longer
look sorrowfully upon you as one
who has been affected by the tabled
light from that lunar orb.
An actual journey to the moon
may become reality sooner than
one would have expected five years
ago. Right now, in several parts of
the world, there are small groups OF
earnest experts who are quite seri-
Gus about the prospects of travel
between the planets.
One of those organizations is the
British Interplanetary society, a
group of about $50 members nearly
one-third of whom are rocket and
supersonic research scientists. An
other third is made up of mechani-
cal and electrical engineers, radio
and radar technicians.

ment to others, she goes about
like a viragOerrant in enchanted
armour, and redeemS herself
from the cravings of indulgence
by the nOtOriety of her eccen-
tricities and the forced currency
they give her publications >
Although Adams chronicled all
unusual incidents while swimming,
and had referred to Mrs. Royal in
his diary, he makes no mention of
the supposed meeting of this woman
while swimming. -
''While Adams lived in the White
House, Mrs. Royal was resident
of Washington, but travelled about
most of the time. She was known as
an author at that time, but not as
newspaper woman. Her journalistic
career began two years after
Adams retired as President. In 1881
she established a newspaper aptly
named Paul Pry,' and later she
founded another small newspaper,
the 'Huntress.' It does not seem pos
sible that Anne Royal could have
interviewed President Adams, at
least in her capacity as a journalist.
adams was mentioned in
Paul Pry' just once, on July %,
1892. There are references to
him in the August 1, 1910; Au-
gust 20, 1912; December Ia, 1874;
February 6, 1847, and the March
4, 1848, issues~of the 'Huntress.'
Mrs. Royal also mentioned
Adams in her Sketches p. 166,
and in her Black Book p. 126.
But nowhere did the woman
who was supposed to have been
involved in the Potomac shore
incident ever refer to any inter-
view with John Quincy Adams.
'The supposed incident still
makes a good story, and especially,
I suppose, when newspaper men are
interviewing the President, and
when news is somewhat dull. How
ever, I cannot believe that any of
the known facts can justify the truth
of this old story"
But, I insist, it's good story and
1, for one, will not disillusion any
President as to it's authenticity.

many career opportunities, two
favOrite fields of interest such as
machine shop, construction, crafts,
mechanical, scientific-medical tech
nical, or electrical and radio. In
each of these fields he may indi-
cate two specialist training courses
he would like to learn. If he is &C
cepted for enrolment in one of
these four courses and is satisfied
with that course, he may then en-
list in the Regular Army for three
or more years with positive assur-
ance that he will be assigned to

DENVER - You're heading west
OH your vacation and plan to do
some mountain driving?
Well, take heed of these tips and
you'll find it safer than barreling
down those straight, concrete strips
across the prairies.
The Colorado Highway Patrol
suggests:
Keep right. When you edge
around a blind turn you expect
your side of the road to be clear.
The approaching driver has a right
to the same expectation.
Take it easy on those brakes.
When going down hill, shift into
over gear. Don't shift into neu-
trail and coast. You have to keep
your car under control.
Don't try to show how your car
pulls this hill in high" When it
drops beow 20 miles an hour shift
into second.
Don't stop your car along the
road to admire nature. Up the road
way, the highway department has
provided a parking space where
you can stop without blocking the
road.
Observe those signs Deer on
Highway" and Birdie Path" be-
cause chances are a deer may come
bounding across in front of your
car.

Growers Warned OF
Jap. Beetle Season
continued from nrst pageO


To combat the beetle, DDT is
the preferred spray material. The
spray is made by putting two
pounds of so per cent wettable
DDT powder into 100 gallons of
water or by using 4 to teaspoon
fuls of the powder to one gallon of
water. Five or 10 per cent DDT
dusts may also be used instead of
the sprays.
A lead arsenate spray is also
effective but it acts chiefly as a re-
pellent and leaves a conspicuous
deposit which may be objection
able. DDT and lead arsenate, how
ever, are poisonous to man and
animals and must be handled with
appropriate precautions, Neither
of these insecticides should be used
on small fruits or on portions of
vegetable plants that will be eaten.
The residues on the larger fruits
are not apt to be harmful if DDT
is used not later than two weeks,
and lead aTsenate is not used later
than four weeks before the fruits
are harvested
The beetles live for only 80 to 40
days. However, since all the bee
ties do not appear at the same
time, some beetles will be present
for a longer period Each female
beetle lays from 40 to go eggs
during her life span. The eggs
will hatch during the summer and
the tiny grubs will feed chiefly
upon the grass roots until they
burrow a little deeper to escape
the cold as winter approaches
In the spring they change to the
pupal stage following which a
new crop of beetles emerge tC
wreak more havoc.

Dutch ''LOst Tribe"
Traced To Fire

READING, Pa. - (P) - Persis-
tent detective work by DR.. Alfred
L. Shoemaker, curator of the Berks
County Historical Society here, has
disclosed a ''lost tribe" of Pennsyl-
vania Dutch living in County Lin
erick, Fire.
More than 200 years ago the tribe
tried to reach American freedom
in Berks County but were side
tracked Now Mayor John F. Davis
Of Reading, himself of Welsh des-
cent, is extending an invitation TO
representative to visit the city and
county during the bicentennial
celebration which reaches its peak
August IA.
Known as Palatines, members of
the group left the Rhine region in
1903 and arrived in London enroute
to America. Once there, DR.. Shoe
maker relates, the immigrants
awaited ships to carry them to
America to join compatriots who
had settled along the shores of the
Schuylkill and Lehigh Rivers,
Berks County, Pa. due to a lack
of shipping space" he continued,
"they were transported across the
Irish Sea by the English and es-
tablished a colony in County Linn
erick, where they live today"
From 1909 until so years ago,
when the last "Irish'' Pennsylvan-
ia Dutchman who spoke the langu-
age died, the group retained it's
identity. This was inevitable, DR..
Shoemaker explained, because the
Immigrants were the only Protes-
tants in a solid Catholic communi-
ty. Today the Palatines are con-
spicuous only by a slight Rhine ac-
cent, and bv observing their old

British Consider
Cars For Cripples

considering a scheme to provide
free cars for some crippled ex-
servicemen and disabled workers.
The plan, now in its early stages,
will be discussed by the National
Advisory Committee on service
pensions.
Glenvil Hall, financial secretary
to the Treasury, said recently in
the House of Commons that the
Minister of Pensions hopes to an
nounce the scheme shortly, where
by the disabled men would have
cars free of charge to help them in
their business or to allow them "to

Blind Pioneer
Makes Good

WILTON, N. D. - (P) - A
slightly-built man of So, Frank
Redington, still plays his own COM
positions on the piano with the Wig
or of a teen-ager. North Dakota pi-
Oneers and the hardships of home
steading on the prairies are legen-
dary. Few of the stories can top
that of RedingtOn. His was dOub-
ly hard task. He was blind And he
had a blind wife. Today he is as
cheerful and happy as any man you
could meet. He has made a good
living and has raised six healthy
children. He has a nice farm. He
has been a community leader.
RedingtOn lost his sight when he
was two years old He took up mu-
sic and became an expert. For 20
years he made a good living taech-
ing. But he began to get restless.
In 1900, with a couple of brothers
his blind wife and a 1O-year-oid
child, he packed up his belongings
and headed for Wilton. He settled
en- one homestead and his brothers
on another nearby. He hired a lot
of his help and got much from his
brothers. But it wasn't always easy
TO get help in those days.
He MIXED COWS, dug rock, FED
the hogs and did other chores. A
few times he even pitched bundles
during threshing time, telling
where to throw them by the sounds
made by peope he was working
with. A brother, Harry, says Frank
had keen business mind and no
body could cheat him. He could
run his fingers around a hog and
tell how much it weighed. He could
tell good grain from bad by Just
running his fingers through it.
