But We owe $7,100 on the

"An ideal retirement for
us would be to keep our

there is some new treatment
that may help her suffering"
ULCERATTVE COLITIS is
Q chronic condition in which
ulcers form in the lower

unknown, although we are
suspicious that psychogenic
reasons can't be discounted.
That's why we sometimes re-

I know you will be in

on the subject in the Journal
of the American Medical
Association written by DR..
Louis w. Granier Of Jamaica,
N. Y. It gives proof that even
severely Ill patients with the
disease may have hope for
relief. So don't give up on
your wife's chances.
The doctor mentions the
case history Of a woman OF
80 who developed an acute,
toxic ulcerative colitis. She
remained bedridden. Her eye

In spite of other treatment
such as corticosteroids. OPT

her colon had shown exten-

Within one week this ap-

produced the change? She
was given intensive treat

THE GOLDEN YEARS
This Couple Is Able
To Make oChoice

$31, 400. Their monthly in
come Of $215 represents q
4 per cent investment Of
about $4,000. So they are
actually worth s95.000 and
are rich.
But they have a dilemma.
They have to get out from
under the mortgage pay
mentS.
Suggested Course
There are several ways to
do it. Here is a suggestion
which takes in factors be-
yond mere money. and per-
hapS it will be helpful to
others with similar problems:
Take $500 out of the
United States bonds and pay
of the mortgage on the
apartment. Then move South
to the duplex, renting out the
third apartment unit. This
should bring in. say, another
$50 q month, for a total net
Of $125 a month.
With half of the duplex in
the South occupied, and half
of it rented, the net income
here would be SIS q month,
for an overall net of $3.50 q
month. Figuring 5 per cent
interest on the $7.100 duplex
mortgage, or $50 a month,
there would be $3.50 a month
to apply to the $7,100 mort
gage. In four years 1t would
be paid off:
Meanwhile there would be
the $215 q month income,
plus free housing in the
South. Enough for security"
and some steaks.
BY holding to the home"
apartment in the North, q
couple would cling to the
privilege of going back after
the years. lease is out. Maybe
they won't want to go back
after a year. But the privilege
of going back is a great psy-
Geological asset. They CAN
go back.

 Guy Powell, AFGD biologist, and a devotee of the sport, has had numerous requests from children wishing to learn to swim. Needed gear for this venture would con- sist of many various size neo- prene rubber suits.
 "A system of making these suits available at specified times to any child eager to participate" Powell stated, would eliminate the par ental problem of repeatedly buy ing new suits for rapidly growing children"
 Norm Sutliff, of Sutliff and Son, has agreed to purchase all suits for children under 16 years of age, and supply them at cost price, ac- cording to Powell. This price would amount to approximately $45 for each suit. According to Powell, Sutlff has also agreed to allow free use of his sons new suit to any child of similar size wishing to use it.

They are among the 300-odd

these articles as fission by

ton.
LOng-Range Problem
Some of these substances
have long lives and great viru-
lence. Two of the best known
are strontium- go and cesium-
1877, the "fallout elements. I"
These elements would have to
be held about three centuries
before they could be safely
released to the environment.
Some public health experts
think 600 to 1000 years is a
more proper period.
Three centuries or 10, the
problem is one of custody rather
than disposal. For practical
purposes the custody must be
permanent.
Who is to take custody?
And where? And in what
form? The United States did
not exist 800 years ago; one can
only hope-one cannot know
surely-it will exist 800 years
from now. No major govern
ment, no centralized institu-
ton, save possibly the Roman
Catholic Church and a few
European universities, ha S
existed unchanged for as long
as 1000 years.
Custody is a universal and
eternal problem. Each country
must care for its own wastes
as long as that country exists.
When, through war or cata-
clysm or just plain apathy, a
government collapses, successor
organizations must be prepared
to take over radioactive waste
management. This is a sober
ing new responsibility for
would-be rebels and conquerors.
Where to store the high
level wastes? Obviously they
cannot be dumped into the
oceans or poured out onto the
ground. Shooting them into
space is for the present, hardly
more than a fantasy. Present
practice is to hold them in
stainless steel tanks, but these
will not last forever. The old
est tanks are Is years old, and
some authorities are beginning
to worry about them.

peaceful users of the atom:
Disposal of radioactive wastes.
There are about 81 million gall
Ions of very high level reactor
residues at Atomic Energy
Commission sites today. These
are currently stored under
ground in stainless steel tanks.
They are "hot" literally as well
as figuratively; intense radio
activity inside the tanks keeps
the liquid contents at a boil.
Two or three hundred years
from now, some of this material
Will still be too hot to handle.
What is to come of it? That is
the big bugaboo of the atomic
industry.
n hh " NGuAC
To the two rules laid down
at the start of this article now
may be added a third, having
to do with routine operation Of
atomic-energy facilities:

it exists long enough, can be
depended on to materialize in
an actual mishap.

presents a threat Of genetic
damage and may do bodily
harm.
2. Increased use of atomic
energy necessarily means that
some small proportion Of the
radioactive byproducts will be
released to the environment.
Those rules state the nature
Of the hazard. They do not
evaluate its seriousness, which
Of course depends on how much
man-made radiation is added
to the background quantity
that man has been living with
since he started to walk the
earth. But they certainly coun-
sci unremitting efforts to keep
artificial radiation levels at the
absolute minimum.
Consider this:
Prof. Robley D. Evans Of the
Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology has calculated that
by 1875, reactors in the United
States will be generating fisSion
products at a rate equivalent
to exploding so Hiroshima
type bombs every day of the
year.
Obviously, 1t would not take
long to translate "On the
Beach" from fiction to fact if
all these byproducts were re-
leased to the environment.
Equally obviously, no one plans
to release them.

happen. The Maximum Cred
ible Accident. hedged against
in all AEC-approved building
plans, can occur. An 'impos-
sible" combination of incidents
caused a big reactor at Wind
scale, England. to run wild and
strew airborne radioactivity
across the landscape. An un-
believable combination of foul
ups caused a serious reactor
incident in Canada. A planned
experiment" in Idaho went
awry and caused a melt-down
in the core of an experimental
reactor.
Each of these incidents-and
there have been others-was
"inconceivable," but happened
Accidents will happen again.
And a Fourth
Now add a fourth rule to the
three already propounded:
4. Whenever you have people
working on a job, with regula-
tiOns for their protection, the
regulations eventually will be
shortcut or disregarded and
some one will get hurt.
Note that Rules 3 and 4, un-
like Rules and Q, have gen.
eral application. They do not
apply specifically to the atomic
industry, but hold good there
as elsewhere.
Rule 4 tells US there are
going to be atomic accidents
involving people. no matter
how carefully the regulations
are drawn. People have been
killed working with atomic
energy; others have been hurt
Probably the exact circum-
stances Of any single accident
will never be duplicated, but
in general what has happened
before will happen again.
The four rules clearly point
to the need for caution-even
over-caution-in dealing with
the atom in peacetime. The
single. outstanding problem is
the handling of reactor wastes
These wastes are generated
inside reactor elements from
the f1Ssion of uranium -235
When the spent elements are
taken to a reprocessing plant
for recovery of the unused
uranium and newly created
plutonium, these substances are
