ton N. H., is President. This Foun-
dation was the first to print and
distribute anything regarding "Anti-
Gravity. Physicists smilingly re-
ferred to it in their. lectures, but
never in print. Finally, in answer
to the offer of an award of $1,000,
two men in June 1858 won one of
the Foundations essay contests.
They were Guiseppi Cocconi of the
astronomical department of Harvard
University and Edwin Salpeter of
the Nuclear Laboratory of Cornell
University. The technical subject
of their essay was the "Anisotropy
of Inertia. In simple layman's
language this refers to "Anti-
Gravity.
Up to the present time all "anti-
missile" work has been done on
the basic assumption that both the
Newtonian Mechanics and Einstein's
General Relativity are unchange-
able and that these especially apply
to Gravitation and Inertia. If it
can be shown that this basic as
sumption is not true, an entirely
new aspect and approach must be
made. to anti-missile studies. / be-
lieve that both Russia and Germany
are making such anti-missile
studies. | sincerely hope that the
United States will cease ridiculing
anti-gravity, especially in connec-
tion with anti-missile missiles.

Senator Thomas J. Dodd, Connecticut Demo-

Berlin and he has urged in Senate
speech, that this country ihaugurate ninety y-day

Il do not believe the country is prepared-that

When World War LII May
Be Expected

Let me repeat that at present nc
nation has such anti-missile mis-
siles in production. No nation will
dare fire an intercontinental mis-
sile at any other nation until it has
an anti-missile missile. On the
other hand, whenever Russia or
Germany, or perhaps the United
States, has such protection which
its enemy does not have, we should
be prepared for World War III.
Hence, urge readers to follow
every news item on anti-missi1e
missiles; but don't get excited over
what else is said about Russia or
Germany or our United States.
There is a good possibility that
World War III, if it occurs within
few years, will be started by Ger
many. Not only has Germany the
most to gain or lose, but Germany
has the best scientists Germany
was first to start her laboratories
working on anti-missile missiles.
While Russia and the United States
have been wasting precious time
and a billion dollars competing in
sputniks and circ1ing the moon,
Germany has had all her physicists
and chemists at work to protect her
against Russian missiles.

BABSON DISCUSSES WORLD WAR TT

Babson Park, Mass, March 10.
To read what some of the very best
cOlumnist are writing today you
would think that the United States
is on the brink of war with Rus
sia. Furthermore, these men should
be better informed than l am. How
ever, do wish to add my two
cents worth" to what they are writ
ing.
Situation In Berlin
Without doubt the Berlin stu
alton is serious. Unless Khrushchev
backs down on his threat, we could
be in World War III within a
couple of months; but I definitely
doubt such an event, and here is
my reason. No. nation will start
world war with intercontinental
or other missiles until it has in
production a workable anti-missile
missile. This is a very important
statement; but I make it without
any reservation.
Naturally, work on such an anti
missile missile is highly "classi-
fed, which means very secret; but
it would be extremely difficult to
keep such tests secret. Russia could
perhaps make her tests in Siberia;
but even these might be discovered
and tracked by means of their
electric waves which would travel
around the globe Each of the "big
four" nations has listening posts.
These are distributed throughout
the world. Hence, all tests of anti
missile missiles by any nation
would be discovered.

THE TORNADO SEASON

Once again we are approaching the tor
nado season. More than half the tornadoes
which occur all year occur in short period
of time between mid-March and June
There has long been some mystery con-
corning the origin of tornado. Today, how
ever, it is generally agreed that tornadoes
are formed in several ways, usually when
warm moist air is by-passed, above, by cold
air-which cold air is usually moving from
west to east. The moist, warm air usually
comes from the south, with a southerly wind
pushing it. Tornadoes also result from long
lines of thunderstormS, called squall lines.
There is no way known to man to prevent
destruction if an ordinary house is caught
in the path of a tornado. The tornado's
circular winds are much more dangerous
than those of hurricane. The only conso-
lation is that tornado usually strikes an
area only few hundred yards wide
However, little is known about tornadoes
even yet, and we suggest that tornado warn
ings be given complete respect by all citizens
in the next seventy-ive davs

wrap the face and take a look, but
many others are terrified of the
starched nurses and wait until
they get home to get acquainted
with their own child.
People who have had no contact
with very young babies (and this
often includes young mothers-to-
be) are apt to imagine a newborn
ike pictures glamorizing advertis-
ing copy. Sometimes such folk
have rude and disappointing
awakening when they finally see
their own babe-even if he is a
whole "a hours old.
He's No Beauty
The truth is a newborn baby is
not very beautiful and it's better
to know this ahead of time. He will
become a lot more beautiful in
Just a few weeks.
At the moment of birth a baby
is wet and slippery and his body
is covered with a white cheesy
substance called the vernix. This
material will dry to chalky white
ness and wear off in a day or two.
1t is left on the skin because it is
a good protective coating. There
is a trickle of fluid coming from
his mouth. His color is a grayish
white, which becomes bluer until
he gasps his first breath as he lets
out his birth cry Respiration is
then established, fitfuIly at first,
then more regularly and the baby
pinks up.
The newborn's head seems very
big for his small body. The face
is wizened and wrinkled, the chin
fades away into his short neck, his
nose may be fiattened against his
face. sometimes his head is a bit
lopsided. Often his head is COW
cred with dark coarse hair; some
times the hair covers a good bit
of his body. His legs are small and
bowed, his genitals seem large in
to the rest of him.
Milford chronicle., 1959-03-20

At birth babies have very little
fat. 1t is the pads of fat under the
skin which give month-old babies
their round attractive appearance.
The one place where newborn
usually does have fat pads is in
the cheeks. These pads are most
useful in sucking. Premature ba?
bies Chose born ahead of time)
have even less fat than full-term
ones. AS a result they are even
more wizened in their appearance.
Post-term infants on the other
hand are better filled out.
All newborns, regardless Of their
hereditary background, have smoky
gray eyes; pigment develops later
If they come from dark-eyed FAM
lily.
Each Is Different
You might think these helpless
little mites would be more or less
alike. But this is far from the
truth. Anyone who sees and handles
many babies, even in their first "a
hours, knows there is a vast differ
ence from baby to baby. They all,
OF course, share qualities of new
ness. but right from birth you can
see they are not all made alike.
Even before the cord is cut, new
Dorns have an individual feel.
Some of them remain all curled up
IN your hands, compact and soft.
Otners are curled up but their
bodies are tense and taut. Still
others as you hold them sprawl
all over, arms and legs hang down,
they feel loose. In a day or two in
the nursery you can pick out the
tense ones; they below for their
food with an energy that is astoun-
olng. Every muscle in their tight
little bodies takes part in the de-
mand that something be done about
the pain in their middle.

she was put on the waiting list to

I was pleased that Hayes did not
disappoint Lynne. l was so afraid
he would be scheduled to fly at

and off we went with Lynne and

PLANT YOUR SPRING GARDEN

This is the time of year to make plans
for your spring garden If you are not very
enthusiastic about it now, order few seed
catologs and the pictures in them will arouse
fire of enthusiasm.
Of course, the plants won't grow to look
like the pictures in the catalog, but you can
enjoy thinking that they will for several
weeks. at least. The anticipation, then, is
half the fun.
On the practical side, there are many
vegetables flowers, if you prefer them
which can be planted with little trouble
beginning in March, and which will yield
great rewards. In some sections, the soil may
be prepared for garden in the month of
February.
The best thing about garden is not that
you might save little money. The exercise
it provides, the fresh air and the relaxation
from ordinary chores and tensions, often do
more for the gardener than does his actual
haul of vegetables
We have only one word of advice for gar
deners Realizing that it will not be accepted
by most of them, and that advice is usually
wasted effort, we nevertheless offer this gem.
We would suggest that any gardener-won-
dering how large plot to prepare-prepare
the smaller of the two sizes he contemplateS

of summer.
Nothing can ruin an enthusiastic garden
er faster than a spell of hot days, a good

he is required to do-in the garden-during
the hot, humid days of late spring and sum-
mer.

THE DAYS OF MARCH

The third week in March contains four
important days. 1t is week in which we
see the last day of winter the first day of
Spring, st. Patrick's Day, and Palm Sunday.
Back in 1902 on March 18th, West Point
Academy was founded, and on that same day
James Madison was born in 1851, at Fort
Conway, Virginia. The next day is st. Pat
rick's Day, the anniversary of his death being
March 18th, 493. Interestingly, ST. Pat
rick's Day is celebrated by those of all faiths,
to some degree, and the first president of the
Friendly Sons of st. Patrick in New York
was Presbyterian.
On Wednesday, March 18th, this year, we
remember the birthday of Grover Cleveland,
who was both the twenty-Second and twenty
fourth President of the United States. Cleve-
land was born in Caldwell, New Jersey, in
1887, the son of the Reverend Richard Cleve-
land. Cleveland was one of the country'S
great presidents, and was held in high es-
TEEN by President Taft and other great OPP
position leaders of his day
On the 10Th of March we recall that the
Stamp Act was repealed in 1766, and that on
this day, at Salem, Illinois, on March 10Th,
1850 William Jennings Bryan was born. Da-
vid Livingstone, the great explorer; was
born in 1918 on this day
On March goth this year we observe the
last day of winter. From this time onward,
until late September, the days will be longer
than the nights, reaching peak of daylight
in June, on June 21st, which is the first day
of summer.
The next day, March 21st, is the first day
of spring. 1t is also remembered as the day,
in 1929, when Governor Carver, of the Ply
mouth Colony, made the first Indian Treaty
in the thirteen colonies. March 22nd this
year is Palm Sunday and it is also remem-
bered as the day, in 1765, when King George
III signed the Stamp Act Jonathan Edwards
died on this day in 1853.
