ARMISTICE DAY
PROGRAM HELD
Rev. o. C. Jones Gives Armis-
tice Day Address at School
Friday Night
CENTURY CLUB SPONSOR

knowledge and religion are not
Incompatible, the Rev. o. G.
Jones, pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church, said in an Armis-
tice Day address at the school last
Friday night. Although in the
early part of this century science
and religion had very little in COM
mon, now they live in harmony,
complementary one to the other,
he stated. There is no such thing
as a purely secular education; the
character and beliefs of the teach
er make an impression on students,
the speaker stated. Tracing the
meaning of the word "arm" from
primitive days when it was club
to the atom bomb, Mr.. Jones said
that "the future depends on the
way nations use their arms" A
native of Wales, Mr.. Jones lived in
England during the recent world
war and he spoke briefly of his ex-
perience, saying that war is Gin
human, barbarous, and ungodly."
His inspiring talk ended in silent
tribute to the dead of both world
wars.
Speaks on Education Week
George w. Wright, superintend-
ent of schools, defined the purpose
of American Education Week to
put the spotlight on public schools.
He sees education as combination
of theory and practice; the need of
faith, love, honesty, and the recog-
milton of civic responsibility as
part of ones rights, as the ingredi-
ents toward making good citizen.
Urging the extension of an inn
proved educational program for al,
he said that Education is the first
line of defense in a democracy. The

NEW YORK. April 2o.-Nex
York and Chicago are cities Of the
past. Los Angeles and Houston
are cities Of the future.
The two foremost American
cities. and many others. are OBJ
solescent because Of what atomic
bombs can do. The other two are
future models because Of what A
bombs cannot do.
This is q thesis OF DR.. r. Z.
Lapp. in a new book, Must We
Hide?" published by Addison
Wesley Press. He is an authority
on both the scientific and military
side. He Is one OF the original
atomic scientists. and has served
with the War Department. the
Research and Development Board
of the National Military Estab-
lishment. and with the once Of
Civil Defense Planning.
He says the book is the work
OF more than one person. and
credits many officers and officials
Of the National Military Establish
ment. Public Health Service.
Atomic Energy Commission and
the National Security Resources
Board.
Bombs May Get Through.
DR.. Lapp thinks many bombs
will get through. In war. despite
our best defenses. He does not
think A-bombs alone will win
q war.
He gives one OF the first
authoritative estimates of an
A-bomb on the ground. It's de-
struction will not be so widespread.
because 1t will be screened by
buildings. For this reason he says
saboteurs may not plant A-bombs.
An additional reason. he says. Is
danger of detection. which would
lead to immediate war and lose
the attacking power the invaluable
air bomb surprise. Underwater
bombs. such as at Bikini. will not
be very effective. he thinks. be-
cause most harbors are too
shallow.
The bomb that makes so many
cities tn the American industrial
Northeast obsolescent is the air
burst. 1000 feet or more above
ground
Explode one of these. he says.
/ 900 feet above Forty-second
street and Fifth avenue. New
York. That is almost as high as
the top of the Empire State Build
ing. the worlds tallest. about one
half mile away.
Steel Would Remain.
Nearly every one In the upper
floors. says the scientist. would die
from the effects of the fash Of
gamma rays Of the A-bomb. At
the Empire States distance 20
inches Of concrete would be neces-
sary for the occupants to survive.
The steel structure would stand.
But its walls would blow out, and
many Of the people inside would
be blown out. too.
The Chrysler and the RCA
Building of Rockefeller Center
would suffer almost equally and in
the same way from the gamma
ray fash. One of these skyscrap-
pers. he says, may contain as
many as 80. 900 persons.

'Runout Plant
Breeds Called Myth

DIES MONIES, Iowa - (AP) -
The belief that some crop varities
"runout' is myth, says /. ].
Johnson. head of the farm crops
department. at Iowa State College.
It has sprung, he said, from the
speed with which some new crop
yarities have replaced the old in
recent years. The belief is that
certain varieties of self-pollinated
crops may break down after a few
years of replanting in particular
area.
Its biologically impossible for
oats or any other self pollinated
crop to run out in the sense that
this term is ordinarily used" he
says. In the case of Tama and Bo-
one varieties of oats, Johnson said,
these varities were resistant to
most of the diseases that were
bothering oats at the time they
We're developed. Then Helminthos-
porium blight blossomed into a
serious diease for oats and Tama
and Boone were susceptible to it.
THAT is why we switched to CT
inton oats which was resistant to
Helminthosporium as well as 9TH
er disease" he explains. However
the Tama and Boone varieties did
not run out. They were still as res
istant to the other diseases as al
the start"
Hybrid corn, he says, is a clear
case of a plant that literally runs
out after the first year. However

zine advice to the hopeful but still
unwed:
"You can't catch fish if your bait
isn't right" And two sentences
later: Don't just think matrimony
go out and do something about
it."
Most of the articles also advise
girls to bone up so they can pre-
tend interests or opinions which
add up to good bait. Once you've
hooked this fish, gotten over your
concealed self-dislike and relaxed,
there's a new series of articles to
read which tell you how to stiffen
up and pull back this husband
who's slipping away again.
Personally, I like the Old-fash-

Radioactive Sulphur
Traces, Citrus Burn

VANCOUVER, Canada - GA
P)-Radioactive suIfur tracers and
Geiger counter are used in the
University of California to learn
how sulfur burns citrus fruits
This knowledge may be useful to
make safe such popular insecides
as sulfur dust and lime-sulfur
sprays.
The methods were reported at
the annual meeting of the Pacific
Division of the American Associa-
ton of the Advancement of Sci
ence. The report was based on
work done by DR.. F. M. Turrell and
Marcella Chervenak of College of
Agriculture's Citrus Experiment
Station, Riverside.
1t appears that when there are
not enough metals present in the
peel sap to tie up the sulfate for.
med from the sulfur dust. the sul.
fate becomes sulfuric acid which is
responsible for the burn.
