Of the actor, on two charges Of

Herbert Hoover, now 90, was q

WHO KNOWS BUT THAT YOU MAY RUN
A CAR BY ATOMIC POWER?

Maybe the next generation of Key Westers will be
running their automobile by atomic power That
ton is neither dream a guess. President Eisen-
hover told the Nation Labor Day that the United
States and group Of friendly nations have decided to
begin Immediately the creation of an international
atomic pool for peaceful purposes
Russia would not agree to such an undertaking, so
the United States Great Britain France, Canada Aus
raa and South Africa have decided to the pool
and other nations, including Russia, have standing
invitation to participate in it. The movement will be
pressed forward determnedy regardless of Russia's
attitude.
Three or four generations ago, people would have
declared you crazy if you said time would come
when man-made objects heavier than air, would be
able to fly. They would have thought similarly had
you said you would be able to hear talking and see
pictures flashed the air thousands of miles away
So don't assume it is impossible to automobiles
with atomic power, that the operation of them in
that way will not occur a generation hence Power
can be controlled for in minute quantities. That
is demonstrated in of gasoline in motors We
get it to the degree that want it, and if we got the
full power of the explosion of gallon of gasoline it
would blow motor to pieces.
It is already known how to control the power in
atom The United States has submarine that will be
operated by atomic force Many other discoveries have
poses. The time will when the atom will be the
basis of supplying power for use in homes.
Man, century after century, has been adding con-
veniences to his way of living by finding out and
more about the potenalites of this globe on which
he lives The explosion Of the atom in the A-Bomb or
the H-Bomb is terrifying thing but the use of that
atom Tor peaceful purposes be great blessing for
him. 1t for him to choose, and eventually he will
choose wisely.

Fluoridation is a hot issue. and

Nearly everyone Is concerned q

ffuorine protects growing teeth, the
kiddies ought to get this protec-

through our public water mains?
Since most children indulge in
sweets, maybe the candy corpora
tions could come out with an as.
sortment Of nuoridated lollipops,
lozenges, and chewing gums. Or if
chemically feasible, special soda
waters could include certified

S2nd Congress, second session. the
testimony of veikko Oscar Hurme,

''About all that can be said to-

broadening the scientific basis of

are not yet completed - is not
