TORNADOES AND WEATHER
PREDICTIONS

There have been criticisms of the Wea-
ther Bureau concerning tornado forecasts in
recent years, and some this year, especially
that connected with recent tornadoes in Kan
sas-in which more than a dozen persons
were killed.
Criticisms will, of course, be made each
year, but-in the field of tornado detection
they are seldom valid criticisms.
The opposite is true concerning hurri-
canes A hurricane is huge storm, moving
very slowly, and can be tracked, it's center
can be detected easily. On the contrary, tor
nadoes develop suddenly, sometimes almost
without any warning, strike rapidly, and are
usually over within twelve minutes.
That is the average life of tornado.
When tornadoes. strike suddenly, as they did
in Wisconsin and Kansas recently, citizens
are inclined to ask why the u. S. Weather
Bureaus tornado forecast dio not warn of
the danger ahead. This is impossible, in all
cases concerning tornadoes.
While many Americans understand this,
1t is important for the average citizen to
realize that, with present day facilities and
weather detection data, there is no way for
the u. S. Weather Bureaus tornado warning
service to detect the approach of all major
which might be hit
A recent wire-service story spoke of the
top weather expert in the U. S. Weather
Bureau station at Kansas City as charged
with keeping An ericans from getting killed.
The story gave the Weather Bureau chiefs
reasons and explanations why the Kansas
City storms were not detected or why Kan
sas residents were not warned of the ap-
proach of these tornadoes. No excuse is
needed unless there was some negligence, if
one understands the nature of the tornado.
True, conditions can be watched, and dang
erous conditions can be reported.
However, radar reports do not always
detect forming tornadoes, and it will be a
number of years-despite the optimistic re-
ports of one scientist concerning satellite
gathered weather information-bef man
will uncover enough of the secrets of nature
to know when tornadoes will strike

LATEST FROM THE ARMY

A wire service recently reported Cnat a
scientist had revealed that the u. S. Army is
planning human visit to Mars. The scien-
fist is Professor Charles Waring, head of the
University of Connecticut's Chemistry De-
partment. Waring is a member of the Army
Scientific Advisory Panel, group of civilians
which advises Secretary of the Army Viii
Der Brucker.
Waring says the plan calls for a twelve
man ship, weight 100 tons, to set out for
Mars. He claimed technical details had been
worked out, although no actual fabrication
of the rocket itself had been begun.
Moreover, Waring says that the chances
of returning from Mars are about the same
as those Lindbergh faced in attempting to
cross the Atlantic in an airplane. And War
ing offered his personal opinion that a safe
flight, and return, to Mars could be made in
three years.
He predicts the trip would take 2G0 days
each way. The crew would have to wait on
Mars until the planet and earth were once
again close, before making the return trip,
which would also take 26O days.
This latest dazzler concerning the Army
follows an Air Force generals revelation that
the Air Force was Shooting the moon" in
August, September and October. Once again.
it adds up to a lot of big talk And, with
no depreciation of Professor Waring, we
InlnK ne is Delng carried away Dy MS CneOr-
les. We would offer the purely scientific
guess that the United States will not send
any twelve-man rocket to Mars, and return
in the next six years-which is twice the
time of Warnings estimate, if he was quoted
correctly.
We Americans are great at talking a.
big rocket and missiles effort, but so far the
Russians are ahead of us in the field of ac-
complishment Moreover, we have not yet
successfully fired a full-range ICBM, nor
have we put any satellite of any considerable
weight into outer space. Yet we are talking.
about shooting the moon and going to
Mars within three wears, which makes US
appear somewhat ridiculous

THE 49TH-A WHOPPER

Nearly half a century has passed since
a new state was last admitted into the Union
This year the nation is going to make up for
lost time by bringing in a whopper We join
millions of other Americans in welcoming
Alaska, belatedly but nonetheless warmly,
into the brotherhood of states.
Alaskans are small in number, but their
exuberance is great and lusty to match the
vast territory that will soon be the 49th
member of the United States of America.
They have celebrated with gusto, and the
end is not yet There has been dancing in the
Streets there have been mighty bonfres,
and pageantry, and the wild pealing of bells.
1t is time of JOY for the men and women of
Alaska.
But this celebration like others, will pass
into history. The time for sober assessment
of assets and liabilities, and for hard work to
make the most of those assets, will soon
come.
Most Alaskans and most Americans will
benefit greatly, in the long run, by the closer
ties now being knit. Alaska has much to
offer in the way of broad lands and largely
undeveloped resources. Alaska also has prob
lens, not the least of which is the need for
more industry to supply the requirements of
a growing people. The resources will be de-
veloped, the problems will be solved if Ameri-
can ingenuity and energy can solve them.
Alaska will now take on ADDED response
bilities, too, as a fuIl-hedged state There is
every reason to believe that its citizens will
accept those responsibilities and discharge
them well. The star of Alaska will shine
brightly on Old Glory

AFTER ALASKA, HAWAII

The territory of Alaska has for years
been ready to accept the privileges and as
sumo the responsibilities of statehood. Con-
gress has at least recognized this in the only
acceptable way, by approving Alaska's ad-
mission as the 49th state
The Territory of Hswaii has similarly
been qualified to take its place as full
fledged member of the United States of
America. Approval of statehood for the is
lands seems virtually certain. Congress
would not be wise to impose further delay
on the citizens of Hawaii.
These people do not now enjoy the full
rights of citizenship, nor are they burdened
with the full responsibilities that would be
theirs if Hawaii were sovereign state. To
withhold rights and responsibilities is an
Injustice and an indignity. Without delay,
Hawaii should be set upon the final road to
statehood.

The Madison County Chapter of

nation released this week by
Chapter Chairman Robert l.
Clancy. The programs were made
possible through the 1857 fund
drive which collected approximate
ly S4500 in the county.
Included in the operations were
programs for f1r Blood Collec-
tions, (2) Home Service, 80 Buck

Water Safety. The various pro-
grams included the operations of
the Madison County Chapter Of
fices, stationery, telephone bills
and other work which was pertin-

for the year a total of $50 pints OF
blood was received for use by Mad
ison Countians who were in need
