Urann borrowed $1,OOO,OOO,

called a freezer. In two years
the supply was worked off at a

Coed 0nes Bounce
In ITS six canning and seven
freezing plants, the Association
has teamed technology with
thrift. Long ago growers dis
covered that ripe cranberries
bounce, while bad ones land
with a dull thud. This odd bit
of information has been trans
lated into ,,nio,rd ~ropbovr1, oa,>
orswhich separate the bounc-
ers and the non-bouncers. The
latter are discarded.
Contrary to general belief,
cranberries do not grow under
water. But the fiat, sand-cov-

frost protection on late autumn
nights and through the winter.

NeW EngIdIlu nedIC were
the piles of cranberries

as the turkey season end
ed. Urann had a wild
notion. He wanted to
can part of the cranberry
crop. He and two assist

ants stirred up sauce on an old
kitchen range, filled cans with a
water dipper, applied lids with a
primitive hand-operated ma
chine. That was in 1912. From the
way women snatched his prod
uct from grocery shelves, Urann
knew he was on the right track.
In 1887 the man who started
the modern cranberry industry
on its way rescued the growers
from serious loss. That year, in
spite of canning. a 100000 bar
rel surplus found no buyers.

Urann started out as a lawyer,
but it didn't take him long to
decide law wasn't for him and he
started saving money to buy a
cranberry bog - something he'd
always wanted.
He finally bought a 10O-acre

still not satisfied. Cranberries

FILM DEPICTS
ATOM BOMB
"GOd of the Atom" Demon
strates Theory of Atomic
Power
AT ASBURY CHURCH

God of the Atom" full-color
scientific film depicting the atomic
bomb problem, will be shown at
7:30 p. M, Tuesday, March % at
the Asbury Methodist Church, ac-
eording to Rev.R. E. Green, pastor
of the church. In the 45-minute
movie, recently produced ny DR..
Irwin A. Moon in Los Angeles lab
oratories of Moody Institute of
Science, scientific appartus and
diagrams are used to demonstrate
the theory of atomic power. Then
actual on-the-spot film records of
the Nagasaki and Bikini blasts
show the atom bomb in action.
God of the Atom" is being shown
by a special Moody film represent
ative, Mr.. K. G. Carman. The
film concludes with the presenta-
ton of the world crisis caused by
the discovery of atomic power, and
offers a unique solution to the
problem. Since it's release last
September, an average of more
than $4,000 people have seen God
of the Atom" in America schools
and churches each month. An ex-
elusive feature of the film is Sc
quence portraying the giant 1884,
inch cyclotron at the University of
California. Concrete walls have
now been built around the interior
of the cyclotron, which has become
dangerously radioactive. There
is no defense against an attack by
an atomic weapon" says DR.. Moon,
narrator of the film. Scientists
have predicted that fewer than 10
per cent of those now living would
escape such destruction. The only
way to avoid such possibility he
concludes, is a return to belief in
God as dynamic for ethical liv-
ing. Helping DR.. Moon in the
narration of the film is Larry
Johnston, young physicist who aid
ed in atomic development at Los
Alamos and photographed all three
wartime bombs as they exploded.
God of the Atom" is second in the
series of religious-scientific movies
produced by the Moody Institute
of Science, a branch of the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago. "The
God of Creation" first in the SER
les, was seen by more than a mil
lion people last year. The third
film, due for release soon, is a
unique portrayal of underwater
life and talking fish titled Voice
of the Deep"

FIRE FATAL
TO MAN HERE
Julian Cox Dies in Blaze That
Swept Garage and Room
on West Commerce st.
ANOTHER INJURED

One man was burned to death
and another was so badly burned
that he required hospital treat
ment in a fire which gutted the in
terror of a small garage and apart
ment on West Commerce Street,
Smyrna, Tuesday afternoon. The
dead man, Julian Burton Cox, 38,
of Smyrna was found on the floor
of the bedroom after firemen had
extinguished the blaze. 1t is be-
lieved that Cox was asleep and
was overcome by smoke before be-
ing burned almost beyond recogni-
ton. He was identified by his
brother, Albert Cox, of this town.
Smyrna Police arrived at the scene
with the belief that there was an
other man in the building besides
Cox at the time the fire started.
Investigations proved that he was
Lawrence Burris. They located him
at the Kent General Hospital few
hours later where he was being
treated for burns about the face,
neck and hands. According to a
statement from him, he and Cox
entered the room and he went to
sleep on the bed. He believes that
Cox was smoking cigarette.
When Burris awoke his clothes
We're burning and he escaped from
the building and made his way TO
the office of DR.. Richard Comegys
in Clayton. Comegys gave him
emergency treatment and sent him
to the Kent General Hospital in
the Clayton Red Cross Motor
Corps station wagon. His condition
is reported as fair and he is expect
ed to recover. The cause of the fire
has not yet been definitely estab-
lished. The alarm was turned in
by Earl Davis, Smyrna, at 500
Ip. m. The building which includ-
ed the one-room apartment was
owned by Mrs. w. A. stokesbury
and was rented to Joseph Collins,
Smyrna. Funeral services for Cox
will he held from the FAIRIES Fun
eral Chapel Thursday, March 18,
at p. m. with Rev. A. E. Dough-
erty in charge. Interment will be
in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Smyrna.
Survivors of Cox living in Smyrna
and Clayton are Mrs. Clara Hart
nett, Smyrna; Mrs. Helen Berg
