it possible for people once the
victims of atomic power to now
share in its benefits.
The nuclear reactor is being
set up in St. PauPs University
in Tokyo where it will be used
in the fields of education, re-
search and medicine. St. Paul's,
founded 80 years ago, has an
undergraduate and graduate en-
rollment Of about 1900 students.
1t comes to them on the Tooth
anniversary of the Episcopal
Church in Japan.
The gift, it is stated, will have
no military value inasmuch as
the bilateral agreement between
the United States and Japan con-
cerning the Reactor, makes it
mandatory that spent fuel ele-
ments be returned to the United
States Atomic Energy for re-
processing.
Bishop Yashire Of the Nippon
Seikokai is quoted as saying that
no other single gift comparable
in size could mean so much to
Christianity in Japan.
Talks on the gift have been
made to the members of St.
Paul's Church here by their rec
tor, Canon Laurence H. Hall and
by DR.. James Hopper, physicist
who is a lay-leader in the parish.

TONERS on the highways. This
year, all three holidays will be-
over a weekend span, obviously
creating longer period of time
for many who will be tempted to

The second contributing factor
to the greater use of blood in
summer, is the comparatively
new incidence of planned sur

ments medical research has made
in curing disease and making
surgical repairs to lengthen life
and promote the general welfare
of modern man, more and more
people are choosing their sum-

surgery.
Last but not least by far, we
are faced with the high summer

Nkrumah's Idea Of Democracy

Accra, Ghana, Apr. 25.-Ghana,
the first black Africa country to

two. years of self rule.
Leaders are more important in
the emerging African nations than
in most other parts of the world
because the followers are largely
illiterate, accustomed to colonial
domination, uncertain in demo-
cratic conviction and almost as
suspicious of European intellec-

Prime Minister Kwame Nkru-

element in Ghana's case history.
And what many neutral observers

significant elements in Mr.. Nkru-
