THE RIGHT TO LIFE

One hundred and "a years ago members
of the Continental Congress met in Phila-
delphia and affixed their signatures to doc
ument declaring it to be self evident that all
men are endowed with certain unalienable
rights.
=, On July 4th this year, millions of Ameri-
cans will leave their homes to celebrate that
event and to exercise one of those rights
the pursuit of Happiness. In the pursuit
hundreds of Americans will lose the vastly
more precious right of Life. Thousands more
will be deprived of Liberty through Grip
ping injuries that will confine them to hos
pital or home, many of them permanently.
Since 1776, eight wars have been fought
to preserve for you the rights proclaimed in
the Declaration of Independence On this
184th anniversary, do your part to preserve
them for others. Drive carefully. Swim
carefully. Play carefully. Make certain that
you are not the cause of any other American
losing his life, his liberty, or his ability to
pursue happiness on holiday weekend.

Modern Gu1n1en Faster. on
Trigger Than On The DraaU

The oldtimers insist, however, the
gunsmoke wasn't half as thick as
the modern television and movie
fans would believe.
And it was much safer to be a
fast draw artist back in 1880 than
during the past two years.
Arizona safety officials say the
gunslingers of today are taking a
toll that would make the men of
the lawless years hang up their
shooting irons.
A recent report from the Arizona
Game and Fish Department listed
25 fast draw shootings in 1858 and
81 last year.
The cause?
Fast drawing is booming sport
in Arizona. Gunfighter clubs have
been organized in all sections of
the state, with several thousand
members.
All the club contests, naturally,
are conducted with blank bullets
and against time. That, however,
doesn't stop countless others from
practicing with live ammunition in
the desert.
Safety officials say the wOuld-be
Johnny Ringos apparently like to
hear the crack of real bullets and
watch them smash into tin can
targets
Although the wounded list runs
higher and higher each year, there
have been no fatalities in the past
two years. Most of the victims
shoot themselves in the foot, knee
or thigh.
Here are some typical examples: !:
An 18-year-old Scottsdale youth
drew too slow and fired too fast and
the bullet struck him in the right
knee.
A Phoenix machinist snagged
the revolver on his holster and
the bullet hit his foot.
A 26-year-old Tucson man whip
ped out his pistol, his thumb slip
pied off the hammer and the bullet
caught him in the thigh.
Safety officials and the cub Off

fore you end up in the hospital.

During his movie days, Ronnie
stole so many scenes from Fields

retaliation, poured a slug of gin

When Ronnie couldn't answer

cracked:

One of the worlds greatest mir
acles is how sunshine, air, water,
and the minerals of the earth can
directly develop corn, wheat, pota-
toes, spinach, and every other kind
of vegetable. Today, we raise foods
only by planting seeds, cultivat-
ing the sprouts, and waiting sew
eral weeks for maturity. Even then
we eat only small portion of the
properties which have been used
to develop a kernel of corn. Sure
ly some day the secret will be sol
we'd whereby this sunshine, air,
water, and minerals will make
food directly without the waste of
farm land, human energy, and
vegetable residue This process is
technically known as synthesis.
METHODS OF COMMUNICATION
The time is coming when there
will be no telephone wires on our
streets. Communications will be
by microwaves. The Bell Labora-
tories are already applying these
waves to long-distance communi-
cations. Whether or not new meth
ods of transporting electric power
without wires will be developed,
| do not known. am, however, GER
tain that there will be most rad
ical change in all means of COM
munications, including radio, tele-
vision, and other discoveries yet
to come. Even now, antennae and
vacuum tubes are no longer -neces-
sary to transmit unseen electric
waves through the walls of any
home or factory.

Since the days of Sir Isaac New
ton, physicists have been seeking
a partial insulator of gravity. Our
metallurgists have been watching
for some alloy (miIlions of untried
possible alloys exist) to act as
such an insulator. 1t is now hoped
that this will be accomplished by
a Encouragement of the molecules
of some existing mineral. Such a
discovery could well result in per
petual motion" for small irrigat-
ion pumps and other industrial
uses without consumption of oil
or electricity. / am confident that
such a discovery will some day
be announced by the Gravity Re-

BABSON DISCUSSES GREAT new INVENTIONS

Babson Park, Mass, June 80.
While the papers are adequately
covering space developments such
as circling the moon, etc., / would
like to come down to earth and
tell you of some very wonderful
things which are now under deveI-
opment From my point of view,
any one of these may be more i'm

CONTROL OF FUSION
Readers are acquainted with re-
ferences to the atomic bomb and
the hydrogen bomb. The atomic
bomb dropped on Hiroshima had
the explosive force of over 10000
tons of INT, whereas the old
blockbusters" had the force of
only one ton. Yet the newer hydro
gen bombs may have a thousand
times the power of the atomic
bomb. These are important things
to consider in connection with
the possibility of World War III.
But in looking to the future,
there is this difference: Atomic
energy has already been harnessed
for the development of electricity:
but no practical method has been
found for harnessing hydrogen en-
ergy for peace purposes. Consider
ing that hydrogen energy may be
found in every pond of water,
while atomic energy can be secur-
ed only from uranium and similar
substances. the industrial future
is locked up in the discovery of
means of safely harnessing hydro
gen energy, commonly produced
by fusion. There also may theoreti-
cally be a third bomb which emits
radiation that kills people but does
not destroy property.

by Thursday he had his station set
up, replete with his antenna stick
ing fifteen feet above his BOO

JUNK FROM CONGRESS

in urban areas has been banned There is
some thought that Congress should now ap-
ply the same standards to itself.
With postmen having about all they can
do to cover their routes promptly and thor
oughly, they should not be used in the ca
pacity of bill passerS or something very SINH
lar The structures applied to commercial
Junk mail' seem unreasonable if Congress
itself is to burden the postal service with
items addressed to occupant. The fact that
congressional mail goes postage-free only
adds to the injustice.
