P. news dispatches. In that night was Belshazzar king of tht Chaldeans 5:5, Now Here Is Something The Reds Can Worry About The most important discovery of the atomic age is yet to be made.

It will be worth more than all the atomic engines on the drawing boards, in the laboratories or in the factories--even if they were completed according to specifications. We realize, of course, that this startling but unqualified announcement puts us in the class with the foremost of atomic experts. We acknowledge the nomination with our best attempt at becoming modesty. There is a good deal of comfort to be realized from the stark significance of this statement. Top cynics in the business tell us that science knows no nationality, no political persuasion, and that the Russians know everything about the atom--due to the Red spy system.

Well, here is one thing they do not know yet, because we haven't discovered it, and what we do not have they can't steal. But it's coming--just as sure as asbestos won't burn in a bonfire. And it will give us a longer lead than a whole mine-shaft full of simon-pure, 14-carat, U-235 or any multiple of that figure. And it's just about all we need. There was a time when fire was dangerous, or at least much more dangerous than it is now.

Now we've learned how to handle it and it is a willing servant. (Accidents will happen, of course, and it-is still possible to burn your fingers.) Electricity was the next big discovery, and we were justifiably afraid of it. Even a pair of bare 110-volt wires can wreak a lot of havoc. If all the "juice" we generate were suddenly turned loose, the planet probably would go up in smoke. But we discovered that there are a lot of substances, rubber, for instance, that simply won't conduct electricity.

Even a comparatively light jacket of it makes high voltage tractable, even millions of volts. We split the atom, didn't we? So all we need to harness atomic power is some thin, light-weight insulation. It will then be as harmless as a plugged-in lamp cord. Impossible? Why? For every known heat we have a container. Any voltage can be insulated.

Every acid has its alkali, every poison its antidote. Some day we'll simply buy a vest- pocket-size carton of bombarding neutrons and protons and carry them home to heat, light and power the house for the next ten years, All we need is the wrapper, and some day we'll have it, just as sure as fission ain't fishin'. These Pays KREMLIN NEW DEAL Passengers, Witnesses to Accidents Given Advice Everyone who is a passenger in a car takes the chance of being involved in an accident, and anyone may be a witness to a collision. Every person wants to do the right thing when an accident happens, and the Minnesota State Bar Association suggests that you have a plan of action. Then, in an emergency, you will do the right thing almost instinctively, because you have gone over in your mind the important steps to take.

If you are a passenger, the lawyers say that human decency, not the law, requires that your first duty is to check the condition of the injured and do whatever you can to obtain a doctor or an ambulance if the accident is serious. Next, identify the drivers, being sure that you have the name, address and license number of each. Then talk to witnesses, obtaining their names, addresses and statements regarding the details of the accident. Write all information down then and there. Make written notes of all the important circumstances surrounding the accident.

Take measurements of skid marks, note the position of the cars, etc. Be specific. Don't say, "We had the green light," if you can just as truthfully say, "I noticed the light turn green when we were about 100 feet from the intersection." If there is the slightest chance that you were injured, have your doctor examine you. Serious injuries are not always indicated" by immediate pain or bloodshed. Give your lawyers all the facts of the accident.

If you are a witness to an accident but in no way involved in it, the law does not require that you do anything at all about it. However, decency and fair play impose certain obligations upon you. You can assist in seeing that justice is done if you take the following steps: Assist the injured. Place signals on the highway to warn oncoming traffic. Write down the license numbers of both cars.

Make written notes on the circumstances of the accident. Give your name and address to either driver or any injured person. Assist the police. If you are called as a witness, it may be weeks or months before you are asked to tell exactly what you saw" and heard. Careful notes made en the scene will help you testify, and you will not become confused on the witness stand.

You have no legal obligation to discuss the accident with anyone nor to report it to the authorities, but your co-operation in giving the facts to the police or sheriff will help the officials see that justice is done. A nation at war and at the same time strengthening its defenses while recovering from other wars could be expected to carry a heavy budget. But when 10.606,000,000 goes in one year for things not in any way connected with war, defense, veterans, debt or past wars, it seems cumbersome, indeed. This was Bank Ad on Drought Crisis Makes Sense By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY NEW YORK --I have always had a profound respect for the small town and country banker who serves a local American community and is rarely pressured into the uneconomic stupidities that are so -characteristic of most New York blinkers.

The latter live in terror of government reprisals and usually cover up, with sanctamoni- ous press-agented statements, their errors of commission which are a product of government pressure. The country banker, as long as he holds the respect and confidence of his neighbors, fears nothing from Washington. One of the most recent efforts of Mr. Truman's administration was to frighten sections of the American people into declaring themselves legal paupers and accepting 'government bounties because there has been a drought. The first outstanding reporter of a drought was Joseph in the Bible; he adopted New Deal procedures and Egypt went broke.

A banker would understand why. MR. T. E. WILLIAMS, of the Limestone County Bank in Athens, Alabama, is not only a country banker but he must know lots of history.

He published a half-page advertisement in the Limestone Democrat telling his people to stop being scared by a drought or by the politicians. This is his advertisement: "Mr. Farmer! "Will it make you money to sell your cattle and hogs before they are finished under present conditions? "We would like for you to consider the following factors before making your decision. "1. It will take you five to eight years to grow back into the cattle business to your present level.

If you sell your cattle on the present market they will bring much less than they would have brought eight weeks ago. "2. With the recent rains, the feed situation can be greatly improved by planting a large acreage of winter grazing crops. "We suggest a very good winter grazing combination of oats, or oats and vetch, in all row crops for extra grazing. Clover and rye grass or small grain should be planted on prepared seed bed.

Permanent pastures should commence to afford reasonable good grazing within three weeks after you get normal rainfall. "At the present we would suggest you cut and feed green corn that will not produce at least 15 bushels per acre. If you do not want to cut this corn, we think it would pay you to buy hay or concentrate rather than sell your cattle now. If you do not have ample capital to finance purchasing feed we suggest you see us. "We also suggest you discuss your feed problems with your county agricultural agent, soil conservation service, and the agricultural agent of this bank.

Both men have stated that policy in different ways at different times.

Yet, it has been a many-sided, developing policy.

The speaker announced that the bankers and farmers of the county had just met and voted not. ask for or accept any federal as it is called, in handling their drought losses. Said the radio wise man in objection, 'They ought to think it over, again.

After all, Wythe County pays taxes. Here's our chance to get some of that back. Let's not be isolationists'." This reminds me of a neighbor who when he died left a sizable fortune of money as well as and, timber and cattle. I used to see him working on the road in WPA days and wondered how a man of his substance, ancestry, political affilia- and standing in the community could work the roads at 50 cents an hour. I once asked lim and his reply was: "When they're handing it out, I'm around to it." Apparently, he never could figure that what they were handing out, he paid.

Or did he? Perhaps he had a gimmick for not paying taxes. IN YEARS GONE BY Ten Years Ago 1942 Three Winona Clinic physicians leaving soon to serve with the armed forces were honored at a dinner attended by 45 persons at the Oaks Wednesday evening. They are 1st Lt. Bernard Nauth, Capt. C.

Drew Pearson--the friendship train, the tide of toys, and the letter-writing campaign between the people of Italian descent in the United States and their scientific knowledge, technical inventions and material progress become traveling companions with our ideals, our hopes and aspirations for achieveing real brotherhood among men.

Accomplishments of Program What has Point 4 accomplished? More than 1,000 TCA technicians are overseas working with some 20,000 nationals in 35 countries. The native "counterparts" of our Point 4 workers are being taught the skills and knowledge of American technicians. For the basic principle of Point 4 is to train the peoples of the participating counties so that each country can take over its own programs. For example, the Etawah Agricultural Project in India is now run entirely by Indians. In Liberia, Frank Pinder, an extension agent from Florida, has helped the Uberian farmers produce a 1 cash crop by providing 24 cocoa seeds for two cents.

Among steps he said Russia the rectal membranes. In this case, pain generally follows the bowel movements and lasts a long time. Blood is usually found on the toilet tissues. Small growths in the rectum known as polyps can cause bleeding, but generally there is also much mucus with the blood. When pus is mixed with the blood, it is usually due to inflammation of the colon (colitis), or perhaps to amebic dysentery.

Of course, there is always the possibility that a cancer or tumor of the bowel is the cause of bleeding. Most of the other conditions mentioned are less serious and are more easily cured than cancer of the rectum and Therefore, any person with signs Hit boys from girls, and sets them forever upon their separate paths.
