BioIuminescence makes many underwater crea-

which supports the bodies of underwater lfe makes
it possible for creatures to grow to big size without
the heavy skeleton and muscle structure needed for
support by large land animals One of the largest
sea-creatures known to man, the giant squid, grows
to more than so feet. But though the big squid's
existence is knOtOn, nobody has had good look
at one while it alive.
Unknown monsters
We are aware of the giant squid because of the
deep scars left by its suckers on the skin Of its
natural enemy the giant sperm whale 1t is possible
that the spotlight of the mesoscaph will pick up
mans first closeup sight of this fabulous creature
Heretofore unknown monsters will doubtless be
seen too. Undersea explorers have constantly re-
ported vague giant shadows and mysterious uniden-
ti6able forms, which may now be clearly seen for
the first time. The Calathea deep-sea expedition,
for instance, dredged from the deep sea eel larvae
which normally measure about one quarter of an
inch and reach three to four feet at maturity. But
the Calatheas larvae were six feet long, meaning
that perhaps at full growth the adult eels would ex
ceed l2O feet in length! These giant eels may well
be the origin of the legends of fabulous serpent
Sunken ships full of gasoline could be easily
located and pumped out, salvaging valuable cargOs
without going through the risky business of trying
to bring the ships to the surface.
UnderseG military. bases
Permanent undersea bases are likely in the near
future. By means of nuclear energy, such bases
could sustain themselves for lifetimes without out
side contact, drawing nourishment and oxygen from
the sea. Military and refueling bases will almost
certainly be built under the sea where they will be
safe from detection destruction. Some say the
Russians have already started theirs.

LAUSANNE. SWITZERLAND


Some TIME BEFORE the first manned spaceship
reaches the moon, an oddly shaped vehicle with
steel sphere under its body will slip beneath the
waves of the for intensive researches in the
blue world of the largest remaining and nearly un
explored surface of the earth the 20 per cent of
this planet that lies under the seas.
The White House has already expressed active
interest in planning such vehicles, and it is probable
that work will soon be started on a new practical
'mesoscaph" new type of underwater vehicle
maneuverable at depths up to 1900 feet and capable
of cruising under its own power, submerging and
rising at WILL and travelling for hundreds of miles
the virgin mountains valleys and plains of the
undersea world.
What will cracking the undersea depth-ba barrier
mean to you? First, untold new sources of mineral
wealth. Explorations already made indicate that
millions of dollars worth of rich phosphates nickel,
copper and cobalt cover the enormous plateaus of
the ocean depths waiting to be exploited. In some
cases areas as large a continent strewn with
grapefruitsized nuggets of nearly pure manganese.
Untapped pools of petroleum lie in the shelter Of
great underwater cliffs.
TraHs-pOLOr sea routes
New trans-polar sea routes will be found, which
will slash nearly 5000 miles from the TokyoLondon
trip and $500 miles from the SeattIeOslo voyage.
Nuclear-powered cargo submarines which would ply
these routes, replacing conventional tankers, are
project under discussion and Japanese engineers
have announced that they are planning 40knot
lOO,OO0ton capacity underwater tanker which
could run from Yokohama to Southampton in little
more time than now is taken by fast transatlantic
passenger boats from New York to London.
1t would be safer too, since turbulence stops in
water as shallow as so feet, and the ships cruise
untouched by weather conditions topside. Under
sea tankers also would be safer from enemy attack
in case of war.
Animal life unfamiliar to scientists today will
undoubtedly be discovered when we are able to

Tuition Grants
The board said that, in prepar-

sued this advice:
% That the Constitution and
laws Of Virginia or OF the United
States do not require it to APP
,ropriate any funds for the Oper-
alton Of public schools in said
county"
~ Section 141 of the ConSti-
tuition and state law authorize
the appropriation Of tuition grant
funds for the education of chill
aren in public and private
schools without regard to race.
Funds Provided
The supervisors said sufficient
state and local funds were pro-
vided to provide every child in
Prince Edward, white or Negro,
Ito procure an education in such
nonsectarian school as the par
ent and child might select :"
The award Of the grants not
only does not violate any pro-
vision of the United States Con-
stitution, but furthers the free
dom of parents to select schools
for their children, the board
said.
This freedom, the answer con-
tinued, lis guaranteed under the
First, Fifth and Fourteenth
Amendments of the Constitution
of the United States, and said
actions were therefore taken

poses and detectives both under

Public schools have been closed

mer of 1859 when the supervisors
declined to levy taxes for a sys-
tenn faced with court ordered in
tegration. Whites have been at
tending the private schools of the
Prince Edward School Foun-
dalton since that time. Negro
leaders, having spurned offers of
private hools, the children
have been without schooling in
the county since 1859. For the
past two years some 600 attended
training centers operated by the
Prince Edward County Christian
Association and some 200 Of them
have been attending school out
side the county. The centers
have not opened this year.

Many Gardeners
Like Apples In
The Backyard

Apple trees trained on a trel-
lis? The idea isn't as ridiculous
as it sounds, says FIR d R.
Dreiling. associate horticulturist
at Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
He proffers the idea as a pla;-
teal one for the increasingly
popular d Warf apple trees.
Here's how:
Put up a trellis. You can use
fairly large posts about IL feet
apart. Then attach four wires
from one post to the other, and
about 18 inches apart. Set out the
trees. You can use two trees be-
tween each pair of posts. Tie the
new shoots or limbs to the wire
nearest to them as they start
to develop. Get one limb at
tached to each of the wires, and
cut off the rest. Be sure to keep
the trees well trimmed. If you
let too many limbs develop that
aren't attached to any wires. the
trees will get bushy and hard to
handle Once the trees have
reached the top wire. cut off
growth that reaches too high in
the air. Using dwarf trees train
ed to wires, you will start hav-
ing a few apples at the end of
three or four years. BY the time
the trees are five or six years
cid you should have heavy crops
OF fruit growing on the trellis.
Dreiling says the apple trel-
lis system makes a good screen
ine fence that can be placed
along the back side of your prop
erty. Or it can be used to screen
off a vegetable garden, or other
area.

ing, and this means scratching
up $500. 900 from private sub
Scriphons.
Since many Prince Edward
families have limited income,
they will need financial help
from the outside to pay the costs
Of school operation. Thus, a state
wide appeal has been made to
secure money for operation CT
the schools.
South Boston and Halifax Coun-
ty VIII respond generously to
this appeal. Of course. just as
local residents responded SO we'll
in providing books for the pri-
vate schools libraries two years
ago. Our peorle will recognize
at once that Prince Edward
County is fighting our own bat
ties in seeking to preserve pre-
cious liberty and freedom from
bling trampled on by the nigh,
of the judiciary which appears to
be allied with sinister forces
Sc e k ng to destroy the last
vestige OF individual freedom and
local sovereignty.
Nothing but praise and admi-
ration is heard here for the
calm. dispassionate and digni-
fled manner in which Prince Ed

ported themselves while under
the gun from the courts and bat

to break their will and endur-
ance. Not a single ugly incident

outburst Of passion or anger. The
Prince Edward people are
flercely determined to stick it
out and to adamantly refuse to
be covered or coerced into re-
linquishing local control of their

Prince Edward Does Not Walk Alone

Prince Edward continues to
bear the brunt of the camraign
by Negro organizations against
school segregation. TIE neighbor
county has literally been In
court" since long before the fate
full U. S. Supreme Court decision
OF 1854. Nowhere else in the
United States has such pressure
been brought to bear on To-
cality.
The latest lawsuit stems from
Negro minister's petition for
writ Of mandamus to compel
the Prince Edward County Board
OF Supervisors to levy taxes for
the support Of public schools
there. The suit was brought in
state courts. and it should
clear up for all time the vital
question on local self govern
ment, or, whether the locality
has control Of its schools and
whether the 10 lily can be
forced by the state to levy taxes
Tor support Of the schools. If the
ruling from the Virginia S.
preme Court of Appeals goes
against Prince Edward. local
self government will have be-
come extinct.
The new suit follows on the
heels OF federal court order
restraining Prince Edward from
using state tuition grants for pri-
vate schools as long as public
schools there remain closed.
Since the Prince Edward
Academy and several white ele-
mentary schools were operated
last year largely on revenue
from the tuition grants, loss of
these funds will pose a real chal-
lenge to the people of Prince
Edward. They will have to fall
back on their limited resources
