Mothers Club and school officials
issued plea that for the safety of
all concerned, children should go
home at noon if at all possible.
Principal Leonardo Stein said
the number of students, grades one
through four, who eat lunch at
school has almost doubled over the
number eating there on the storm
lest days last year. AS much super
vision as possible is provided, but
teachers who have the youngsters
under their care all day do need
a break at noon.
Plans were made for bake sale
on November 18. Mothers of all
students in the grades kindergarten
through sixth are asked to con-
tribute. Money will go toward new
curtains to cover the south and
west windows in the elementary
building. All students will profit
by their efforts.

discussed and explained the new
summer reading program. Children
must read Is books during the sum-
mer course and report on them.

plished this were awarded di-
plomaS and given a little party at
the city library.
Prizes for the readers are pro-
vided by the Grade School Mothers
Club. The theme carried out dur

providing about 40 per cent of
the energy for electricity.
Probably the whole of the adj
ditional energy over 1875 re-
quirements will have to come
from nuclear sources" Sir John
said, 80 that we can expect nu-
clear power to be doing the work
of $50 to 200 million tons of
coal (about 80 per cent of the
totaD by the year 1000 in Brit
ain"
The scientist said Britain's
program is expected to expand
much more rapidly until by
1870 most of the new British
power stations should be of the
nuclear type"

He emphasized that the prom
Use of "recycling" uranium fuel
opens the possibilities of greatly
increasing the heat extraction.
A report will be presented to
the conference later. Sir John
said, on the results obtained
from Britain's experimental re-
actor zephyr" He said the
report will show that plutonium
fast reactors should have a very
high gain factor"
Two Canadian experts told the
conference that within 10 years
Canada may be producing atomic
power that can compete in some
areas with coal and water power.
From 1870, on, they said, atomic
power may begin to emerge "as
a major, If not the major, source
of electricity in Canada"
j. Davis, an economist of Can
ada's department of trade and
commerce, and w. B. Lewis, re-
search vice president of the
Dominion's atomic project at
Chalk River. Ontario, made the
report.

LONDON, Aug. 10 (NANA) -
When Douglas Wightman. who
has a fruit farm near Ashford,
in Kent, discovered that his pet
monkey could shin up a fruit tree
and pick cherries faster than a
human, and with less damage,
it gave him an idea.
Mr.. Wightman allowed the
monkey to join his crew OF
regular and casual summer
workers on his orchard. At first,
workers took the monkeys skill
and speed at filling the baskets
as a joke. Then a union leader
said union rules had no use for
monkeyshines that might put
ideas into other employers heads
80 my pet was banished to
my private garden. where he
died, unemployed" Mr.. Wight
man recalls.
Was Mr.. Wightman's monkey
q pioneer? Sir George Thomson,
the master Of Corpus Christi
College. at Cambridge University,
gives support to the idea. In a
book to be published in the fall,
he says monkeys could be en-
ployed on farms and in factories.
Sir George points out that
hardly any new species of ami
mails has been domesticated since
historic times. THE monkeys
hand is a remarkable instru-
ment when considered in con-

he writes.
Think Of the electronics
necessary to produce a machine
capable of plucking an orange
from a tree without wrecking
the tree. 1t would take kilo-
watts OF power to operate it. The
monkey has a weight Of about
40 pounds and a consumption of
"a pound Of nuts a day. It seems
one Of the best bargains nature
has to offer us. We ought to
make more use Of it and no doubt
shall"
He points out that monkeys
could be trained for picking all
kinds Of crops and even per-
forming small routine factory
processes at far lower cost than
highly complicated electronic
equipment.
one leadlng ZoologlSt said that
Sir Georges suggestion is not
lat all far-fetched. Monkeys
could be easily trained to per-
form routine Jobs.
Before the war Lancashire
garage had a tame monkey that
could handle tools quite as well
as any low-grade mechanic. In
the Far East many banks have
used monkeys to test dud coins.
The monkeys are trained to bite
each coin and their judgment Of
10 dud is 100 per cent accurate.

aims top atomic scientist said
today his country hopes to so
improve the nuclear power
process that by the end of the
century one ton OF uranium will
do the work of a million tons of
coal.
Sir John Cockcroft, director of
the Harwell atomic energy re-
search establishment, told the
72-nation atoms-for-peace con-
ference or Britain's plans for
use Of nuclear energy to offset
her dwindling coal resources.
He said developments in
breeding" Of atomic fuel would
play a key role in the program.

which at least as much f1SSion-
able material is created as is
consumed in keeping the atomic
reaction going.

requirements in the year 1000
for the equivalent of $50 million
tons of coal a year would be met
by burning $50 tons of uranium
or thorium a year If breeding is

John said.
IL Stations by 1865
Britain already has announced
plans to complete II nuclear
power stations between 1860 and

Mr.. Cannon said he is looking

Cannon Hits Shutdown
Of n Army Bose Shops

Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Committee
Irebuked the Eisenhower admin
istration today for waiting until
Congress had gone to announce
the decision to close down COM
mercial type manufacturing
shops ali II military bases.
Both Mr.. Cannon and Chair
man Hayden, Of the Senate APP
preparations Committee, told The
Star today they win commune
cate with the full membership
Iof their committees and be
guided by the replies they re-
lceive.
The question of whether the
Government should get out Of
these business activities has be-
come an issue directly between
the President and the two APP
preparation committees. because
congress wrote into the Defense
Appropriation Act a provision
giving each of these committees
80 days in which to veto any
order closing down the facilities.
Called Unconstitutional
When he signed the bill on
July IA the President announced
| in a message that he would
ignore the provision giving the
committees veto power unless the
courts direct him to do other
wise. He called the provision an
unconstitutional invasion of the
Executive province.
From his home in Elsberry.
Mo, Mr.. Cannon said today he
was not passing judgment on
the constitutionality Of the pro-
vision. but pointed out that. for
the time being, it is in the law.
Despite the Presidents state
ment that he would ignore the
provision, the Defense Depart
ment revealed that it has for
mally notified the two Appro-
lpriation Committees of the de-
lpartment's decision. This was
construed by some observers as
at least partial recognition OF
the law, and at his press confer
ence yesterday Mr.. Wilson said,
Il hope we don't have any trou-
Bile about it. This is wha we are
intending to do"
Mr.. Wilson added, however,
that the act of notifying the
