on the construction of the two new
elementary schools This was in
Dictated by Hardesty and Shirer,
the contractors.
Willard l.. Hawkins, county SUI
pcrintcndcnt of schools, said these
two schools would be a welcome
sight for parents, teachers and pu-
pills alike He pointed out that per-
haps no worse facilities exist any
where in the state than those found
at the Annex in Oakland and the
Johnson school. These two schools,
along with the one-roOm school at
Finzel are 10 be closed when the
new buildings are completed
Completion is set for around the
first of the year
Both schools will provide ade-
quate classroom facilities, libraries
health rooms, kitchens and all-pur-
pose rooms to be used for cafe
terias, auditoriums, visual aids and
physical education Roth schools
are to be equipped with new furni-
ture, adequate classroom shelving.

provements planned for Swan
Meadow, and the continuing reno
walton program this summer and
next would place all pupils of the
county in modern or modernized
school buildings with all needed

hard surfaced playground areas for
many elementary schools, and a
band room for Southern High. He

to bring these about within the
near future.
He also pointed out the needs of
auditoriums at both high schools

way to finance their construction

"Atoms For Peace
Unit To Be Shown

The atom as a peacetime force
will be on display for citizens of
Westernport and Oakland when the
Atoms for Peace" mobile unit,
sponsored by the University of
Maryland and the Maryland Junior
Chamber of Commerce, arrives
Tuesday, April 2.
This exhibit will appear in the
Westernport business district from
IL noon to 2 p. M, and in the Oak
land business district from to 7
p. M 1t will be on Second street
at the corner of Alder.
One of the timely displays is de-
voted to the use of radioactive
materials and radiation in the field
of medicine-an aspect that may
surprise those who may think of
ATOMIC energy as a weapon of de-
struction, not as an agent for the
diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Actually there are many ways in
which the atom can aid the physi-
clan. Because radioactive sub
stances can be readily detected
with instruments like the Geiger
counter, they serve as valuable
tools in studying the circulation of
the blood.
Also radioactive iodine is used
not only to diagnose the condition
and efficiency of the thyroid gland,
but also to destroy excess tissues
where such destruction may be
deemed necessary in cases of
hyperthyroidism.
Many tumors show an affinity
for certain elements and COM
pounds; when these elements are
made radioactive and injected into
the body. they localize in the dis
eased portions, where they can pro-
vide a radiation picture" to aid
the physician to diagnose and treat
the condition.
One of the growing uses in the
medical field is the treatment of
cancer and other diseases by ma
chimes which emit beams of intense
radiation that destroy the diseased
tissue. Though the principle is
identical with that of the familiar
X-ray devices that have been used
for many years, the machines using
radioactive sources are more eff
ficient, more flexible, and much
less expensive.
The medical display is just
small part of the Atoms for Peace"
exhibit
The exhibit is one of many de-
veloped by the Atomic Energy
Commission to bring the nations
many peaceful-atom programs to
the attention and understanding of
the general public. 1t is made
available through the Museum Di-
vision of the Oak Ridge Institute
of Nuclear Studies, Oak Ridge,
Tennessee.
