Get clear picture of the map Of the United States in your
mind better still copy and place it before you
you ponder the alarming growth of Federal expenditures
For quite time have been calling attention to
way life Of the growing burden OF debt and
taxation Of governmental activities into the
field Of private enterprise.
Now with the map before You study the following facts
In spending amounted to less than two thirds of
the personal income of the inhabitants of California
BY 1917 Federal expenditures approximately equal to
the total personal of all the inhabitants of California
Washngon Oregon Nevada Idaho Utah Arizona Montana,
Wyoming. Colorado. New Mexico North and South Dakota
Nebraska Kansas. Oklahoma and about four fhs Of Texas
Federal expenditures amounted $l21 family in 1929
$3.50 in 1898 and about 1884 in 1948
Remember these figures the spending OF the
federal government only When and local government spend
ing is added total 80 percent of our national
income In words the American people devote nearly one
third of their working and effort supporting their various
governments.

Atomic Energy Is
Explained by Speaker
at Chamber Dinner

Around ono hundred persons who
attended the Mt Top Chamber Of
Commerce dinner meeting last Thurs
day nigh, are now able to give
comprehensive and detailed report on
their governments atomic energy en-
tcrprisc." Or are they?
At least they have been exposed to
fi,~ion,, atoms. uranium plutonium,
radiation. radioactivity, ncutrons, and
just plain old electricity.
The remarks before the group were
made by Francis f. Blake, training
branch of the atomic energy commits
sion, Of Washington. Mr. Blake,
former resident of Frostburg, was
we'll vcrsed in his subject His thirty
page address is too lengthy to repeat
in full, on give even summary.
Some of his remarks follow:
The Atomic energy enterprise de-
ponds primarily upon the fact that
fission. or splitting of certain atoms
Of some of the heavier elements Of
nature may occur" When the
nucleus of either uranium-235 or plu-
tonium is hit 10y neutron, neutral
particle Of the atom it may break in
to two parts as a sort Of atomic eX-
plosion in which a large amount Of
energy is released More important,
additional neutrons are also released
during this explosion which may col
Tide with other atoms, thereby causing
other fissions to occur, the release of
more neutrons causing more fissions,
and so on, so that a chain reaction
may be set up releasing not just the
energy from a single atom, but from
countless numbers of atoms
IF the fashionable atoms are dis
trihuted among large amount Of
non-fissionablc material, then the
chain reaction may proceed slowly and
under control.
This newly acquired knowledge of
another of natures great universal
forces holds promise of unlocking for
Us fields of knowledge at which here
toforc it was possible only to guess.
Our social, political and economic life
in all probability will be profoundly
affected by the changes which will be
wrought by the full development and
application Of nuclear energy.
ION its benign side the use of the
radioactive isotopc has already led
the way to significant enlargement of
our knowledge of certain diseases.
Through the use Of Isotope the bio
chemist is daily enIarging the field Of
information of the chemical processes
of the living organism"
The work of the atomic energy com
mission and what people were getting
as a return on their huge investment
in atomic energy was explained at
length by the speaker. He said the
average citizen had an obligation to
become informed and to keep in
formed ON the atomic energy enter
prise so that he can keep it in line
with what he thinks it ought to be,
las the greatness of our American
Democratic system has always been
in responsiveness Of our government,
to the will, desires and wishes of the
people
