Egg-Laying At
Phe asant Farm
Reaches Peak

The pheasant laying fields at
the Urbana Game Farm were
thick with eggs this week as
spring laying moved into peak
production of around 2800 eggs
per day.
Some 5000 pheasant hens were
put on the job this year of pro-
Viding eggs for the Division of
Wildlife's incubators both at the
Urbana Farm and the Newark
hatchery with a total capacity of
10000 eggs.
Egg laying got under way early
in April but according to Ed Nash,
Superintendent of the $40 acre
farm, the laying started off be-
low moral for some unknown re-
ason throughout April.
The Divisions program of dis
tributing 3-week old chicks to
conservation clubs and indivi-
duals this year for rearing and
cut from $4,000 to around 10000.
DR.. Z. d. Martin, chief of che
game management section explains
that the cut will be made because
of the outstanding success of the
Wildlife Habitat Development
program started in 1947 to main
tain pheasant populations through
natural reproduction in the, field.
Eggs are gathered at the Urbana
farm several times each day but
not all of them will reach the
incubators. The culls will be hard
boiled and used as feed for the
baby chicks.
The first hatch of some 1400
chicks was taken from the in
cubator at the Divisions hatchery
at Newark last week, according to
superintendent Fred Harlow.

To help American families solve

But here is what the Council of
State Chambers of Commerce
finds Uncle Sam is doing in his
own Federal household:
The Federal Government will
spent about $51a billion more this
year than the $361a billion it will
collect in revenue 1t is expected to

that time the public debt has risen
from SIT billion to $258 billion.
To return to balanced budget,
. the Council finds the Federal Gov

either increase taxes or reduce
spending.
But taxes of one kind or an
ther are already taking more than
a quarter of the peoples income.
And as to reducing Federal
spending, the question always

In spite of the fact that Lon
don Highs baseball team lost their
game against Ashville 6 = 8 in the
sectional tournament Friday, we're
proud of the boys. Any team that
can tie a SO score in the fifth
inning deserves some praise!
Someone has to lose, fellas, and
there's always next year.
Fourth period last Monday
morning found the commercial
room buzzing with excitement. The
Shorthand l class had a pot-luck
dinner with everything from dill
pickles to chocolate cake and ice
cream bars. The reason? Just for
fun very noble cause indeed!
The Hi-Y has elected its officers
for next year. Dick Dorm will serve
as president, Tom Bopeley is vice
president, writing the minutes will
be Bob Hume, and Bruce Roude-
bush gets to keep the money.
Congratulations, boys. We know
youll do good job in your offices!
Food, food and more food! The
Senior Service Scouts will have
their annual dinner in honor of the
senior members on Wednesday at
Choomans Restaurant. The read
ing of the will and prophecy, two
masterpieces of insanity, will be
the highlights of the afterdinner
program. Sorry, fellas, but it's
strictly a hen party!
We'd like to say a word or two
to the seniors in parting. While
we sometimes poke fun at their
airs as upper classmen, we're
sorry to see them go. More than
once we've envied them, especially
this time of year. These last few
weeks with their round of din
ners, parties, and ceremonies will
be one of their fondest memories
of high school. We teenagers hope
your futures are as happy, grad
yates,
Along about this time of year
most of us start dreaming about
the summer vacation we either
would like or are planning to take.
Cur favorite former superintend-
ent, Mr.. Rice, is no exception.
Come the first of June, he'll be
on his way to Europe for a super
deluxe sightseeing tour. On be-
nalf of all the LHS students we'd
like to say Bon voyage, Mr..
Rice!
Well, exams are over, Recogni-
ton Day is just around the corner,
and, believe it or not, another
school year is about to end. This
means it's time for us to put our
typewriter in mothballs and head
for the nearest shade tree. But
before we do, we'd like to offer our
very deepest thanks to Mr.. J. r.

You said their speeches come
out of the fundamental urge of
the American people and the
American Government" which is
a nice way you have of saying,
suppose, that they speak for us
folks. But they're in too big a
hurry for you, we gather, for later
on, when you get down to the
"yes, but" stuff familiar to diplo-
mats, you say, and I quote:
Long and Difficult Road.
Nov this road is a very long
one and very difficult one. It
takes purpose, continuity of pur-
pose, perseverance, sacrifice and
it takes, more than almost any,
thing else, very steady nerves."
Very steady nerves! You said
it there, sir!
For, at the very time you were
making your talk to the news
paper correspondents down at the
State Department, one of those
scientific fellows who knows all
about atoms and hydrogens and
the bombs they make out Of them.
a bright fellow by the name of
DR.. Harold c. Urey, was telling
a Senate committee at the Capitol
that we'd better watch sharp, for
one of those tramp steamers that
drift lazily into one of our ports
might carry bomb.
Very steady nerves! Be pa
tient and keep our nerves steady
on that road that "is q very long
one and a very difficult one" If
these scientific fellows-not to
speak of our generals and admir-
als-go around shooting off their
mouths and soaring the daylights
out of honest, law-abiding citi-
lzens? How're we going to keep
on that road of yours when they
keep jumping out of the bushes
shouting:
boo! Watch out for that next
car! 1t may be loaded"
Why can't they just tell the
FBI?
Just In Passing?
We wouldn't want to interfere
with anybody's right of free
speech. But you said in your talk
that it was all right for us to
examine ourselves and criticize
ourselves, and wouldn't it be pos
sible for you to say something in
another of your talks about the
scare Stuff-just off-hand, you
know. not in criticism, but just
in passing? So we can stick to
that long road ahead of us with
steady nerves and steady hands.

remarks was the tramp steamer.

country.
Without impugning the loyal
ties of scientists generally and
without seeking to bring oppro-
brium on the whole class of per-
sons on whom we must depend
for our strength in any future
conflict, it must be said that
large numbers of them display
a lack of political consciousness
which should be combated.
Fail to Understand Issue.
Many of those who spend years
tied to their laboratories and
their formulas behave as if they
did not know that the foremost
issue in our struggle for survival
as a civilization today not only
is how to defend ourselves
against the encroachments of
communism, but how to press
that theology back to the soil
from which it sprang.
1t is Understandable, of course,
that in the training and profess
sional life of scientists there is
often little time to acquire that
familiarity with the broader as
poets of our civilization which
should be the goal of every we'll
rounded citizen.
One of the burning problems
before educators today. not only
in this country but in many
others, is how to give the grow
ing youth the kind of classical
education and the kind of ap-
probation of our way of life
that will fit him to be the best
type of citizen in a democracy.

This Changing World
p Many Scientists Believed Unaware
Of Larger Political Issues of the Day

the attempt to keep up with the
broad world of human activity
is well-nigh impossible.
The result-and many scientists
themselves will not dispute this
is collection of lop- sided indi-
viduals whose concern with the
political life of their country and
of the world is subordinated by a
feeling that the work of science is
on far higher plane and tran
scends all political considerations.
There is, of course. some foun-
dation for this belief. The world
of science does transcend national
boundaries. Scientists are as i'm
portant to the realization of COM
munism and the expansion of
Russia's imperial power as they
are to the protection of our demo-
cratic way of life and the realiza-
ton of our capitalist goals of a
better living for everyone based
on freedom.
Little to Fear Himself.
A scientist, if he thinks of moth
ing but his scientific work, has
little to fear from communism as
far as his personal livelihood and
that of his family are concerned.
He can work as extensively under
communism as he can under capt.
talism and he probably would be
as well rewarded.
However, if he is not so bound
up in the depths of his work that
he can look out on the world once
in a while and get perspective of
his relationship as a scientist to
all humanity, he is bound to be-
come conscious of the great hu-
man issues which divide humanity
today and is certain to realize
that the preservation of every
thing that makes his personal
world-his home, his community
and his social life depends on
his entering into the work of
strengthening our part of the
globe not only with the zeal of
a theoretician for his work but
with the fiery enthusiasm of the
patriot.
Too many-many too many
discussions by scientists of the is
sue of sharing atomic secrets pro-
ceed without recognition of those
political factors which must enter
into the decision on whether we
finally yield all our atomic know
how or keep it strictly to our
selves.
The remedy. it appears. would
be a body of scientists a little
more interested in politics-real-
istic politics-and a little less pre-
occupied with the universally of
