There have been times when
we all have felt that our road in
life was all up hill.
We thought everything wa
against us, and we were tempted
to quit before we reached our
goal.
The smile left our faces and we
heaved sigh of discomfort, and
SO discouraged and beaten, we
turned and started back. But If we
had only continued, we would
have won.
Life is full of its funny twists
and turns, and some times the
pace seems very slow, but we will
win, if we keep going. Success is
like a silver tinted cloud it may
be nearer than it looks. So If we
stick to the fight when things
seem hardest, we will reach our
goal.

The Women's Association of
First Presbyterian Church took a
most gratifying tour of Europe at
its mid-year meeting last Wednes-
day after the officers for the COM
ing year had been installed in a
candlelight ritual with great spirit
ual uplift, conducted by Mrs.
Frank L. Baldwin.
Mrs. Fred H. Winchester COM
municated the enthusiasm for her
late summer vacation abroad in a
most charming travelogue that left
her audience fired with an express
sed desire for such tour, despite
the fact that previous to her gra-
phic picture of the numerous plac-
es visited in company with Mr..
Winchester, they had not felt the
desire SO keenly.
In her Impressions of My Trip
Abroad" Mrs. Winchester stated
that ever since she could remem-
Der she had longed for such va
cation and that in her case the old
adage that anticipation is greater
than realization" had been COM
pletely reversed; the whole expert
ence had been one big thrill from
beginning to end for both herself
and Fred, and she could really
think of no disappointments.
In addition to the pleasure de-
rived, Mrs. Winchester stated that
the trip had far greater import for
her than just mere pleasure; she
was extremely interested in the
people of the countries visited and
in becoming friends with them and
believed with President Eisenhow-
er: Each of us, whether bearing a
commission from his government
or travelling by himself for pleas
ure or for business, is represen-
tative of the United States of
America and he must try to por-
tray America as he believes it in
his heart to be: a peace-loving ma
ton living in the fear of God but
in the fear of God only, and trying
to be partners with our friends"
She referred especially to two
meetings that were highlights, to
the two travellers, one in Heidel-
berg with her cousin, Major Jane
Thurness, A.N.C., and also in Brus-
sells with Miss Paula van der Lin
den of st. Oedenrode, Netherlands,
who visited London summer ago.

Atom Heat Tested
To Produce Fresh
From Seq
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of the Interior
Seaton reported yesterday that
investigation has begun into
ways of using nuclear heat to
convert sea water to fresh
water.
Mr.. Seaton did not expand
on that statement in his an
nual report to President Eisen-
hover on the saline water
conversion program but said:
PROGRESS during the last year
has been such that the initial
period of exploratory research
in the laboratory must now in
part be replaced by pilot plant
operation and field testing of
the more promising processes.
1.-THE most promising Of the
conversion methods now under
development include several
distillation and membrane sep
aration processes. and one
form of salt water separation
by freezing. For these. pilot
plant work is needed. and in
part is already in progress, in
order to explore their economic
feasibility and potential fields
of application"
Secretary Seaton said the
cost of conversion must be con-
siderably lowered before con-
verted water can compete with
maximum prices now paid for
naturally fresh water.
