"1 IRONWOOD DAILY GLOBE, IRONWOOD, MICH. SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, Hydrogen Bomb Explodes Boom Dreams of Town By MOROAK FfTZ Ellenton, S. people in the little Carolina towns along the Savanah river, a little south of Augusta, knew fdmething was up. Since April, strangers had been turning up, asking about the soil, the crops, the land values. Farmers kept running into surveyors in the fields and on the rutted country roads.

Planes circled over the cotton fields'and pine woods, buzzing like inquisitive flies. In Ellenton, Jackson, Dunbarton, Meyers Mill and Snelling, word began to get around that a great industrial plant was going to be built somewhere in the area. By fall, after three years of bad crops, everybody was talking about a boom, and the people were planning their lives accordingly. BUBBLE BURSTS In November the bubble burst, and today instead of a boom they are getting ready for the funerals of the peaceful towns in which most of them were born and have spent all their lives. Ellenton's Mayor H.

W. Risher got the news when he walked into his hardware, home appliance and auto supply store and took a look at the headlines Cubie A. Hill, his partner, at him. A big industrial plant was coming, all right. But it was to be an atomic energy commission plant to produce materials for development of a hydrogen bomb.

It would swallow up 250,000 acres in Aiken and Barn-well counties. Ellenton, and the four' smaller towns where they had been ing boom, would be swallowed up, too. AFFECTS 5,000 More than 5,000 people busi nessmen, farmers, sharecroppers, and'their families -will have to pull up roots, some of them within six weeks, some in the next four months, all of them within the next year and a half. Before they go, they'll have checks from the army engineers for the homes and land they're leaving behind. For some, there will be a chance to work on the construction of the $260 million project, to be known as the Say.

annah River Plant. But E. I. du- Pont De Nemours which is building the plants for the A.E.C., many of the 8,000 construction workers will have to be skilled men brought in from outside. In Ellenton and the smaller towns, which will be nothing but memories on an out-dated map when project is finished, they are calling themselves the "first DP's of World War III." But, patriotically, they are not protesting.

THEY'RE HEARTSICK We're all heartsick at being displaced," says Miss Louise Cassels, one of Ellenton's leading citizens. "But if it's really for the good of the country, we'll co-operate 100 per cent." Miss Cassels is a church leader, musician, and president of Cassels' focal point of Ellenton's business life. She also teaches sixth grade at Ellenton school, a labor of civic zeal. Her brother, big, white-haired Mike Cassels, operates the business his father founded 60 years ago, says he feels as if they'd had a death in the family. The Cassels store, a unique landmark 110 feet long where townsfolk can buy yards goods or frozen spinach, cattle feed or shoelaces, will be engulfed by the atomic age.

Once it housed the Ellenton Cash Depository, one of the first of its kind in the UsJS. HARD TO PULL UP ROOTS In Dumbarton, 15 miles east route 64 is the main street. There Mrs. Pauline D. Rountree stood with her son outside the country store that's supportec Rountrees for half a century, and observed that it's mighty hard to pull up roots.

While the other towns disappear, Dunbarton is expected to become the railroad depot for the Savannah River plant, with eigh rail lines leading into the project and a dual highway on either side of the tracks. The only happy smile you can find in the whole area is on the face of Ralph South. He is a housemover, and when he read about the fate of these South Carolina towns back in his home in Palisade, he hopped in his car and drove east to drum up business. Prospects are brisk, for a lot of the 'townspeople will take their homes' with them. INDIGKATIOM AROUSED There have been a few neighbors around the countryside, too, who started talking about dollar profits from the evacuation of the towns.

They aroused the indigna- tin of the Rev. Robert Parkinson) pastor of Ellenton Baptist church, whose parishioners shooed a magazine writer and photographer out of town the other Sunday. "We ask for little less Jubilation and rejoicing over the death of our beloved town, which we love next to our country," said Pastor Parkinson, whose church building once succumbed to lightning and now will have to succumb to a man-made force. IT WON'T RING MUCH LONGER: H. R.

Harden, railroad station agent at Ellenton, S. is usually first man at the ropes of the community bell. Soon it will toll the last rites for a town engulfed by the atomic age for H-bomb experiments. Ironwood Man Struck by Car Matt Maki, Ironwood, is in Runstrom's hospital with bruises suffered when "he was struck by a car while walking across Silver street in Hurley at 7 last night. Hospital attendants said Maki apparently suffered no fractures and is in good condition.

The Iron county sheriff's department said Maki was struck by a car driven by William Mpr- gando, Pence, as he was walking from the south to the north side of the first block of Silver street. According to authorities, Morgando said he was driving east and because- of the icy condition of the road he could not stop when Maki stepped from between parked cars and walked in Iront of his auto.

But consider and be consoled: It's a cinch compared with what has to be done in the arts of Colorado. You lift maybe three or four eet of snow, all told, in a win- er. Be glad your walk isn't on Wolf Creek pass in southern Colorado. It snowed 67 and a half feet deep there one winter! The average yearly snowfall has been just short of 32 and a half feet! But they keep the highway over Wolf Creek pass open--plus roads on 16 other passes, 10 of hem above 10,000 feet -in alti- Wolf Creek and these pass 'ootages stack up enough snow for just about the world's greatest snow removal job. You can't get Colorado highway department engineers to come right out and say their snow removal job is the world's greatest.

They skirt around that drift on verbal snowshoes. JOB FOR HE-MEN But Douglas N. Stewart, department maintenance engineer, figures he's not floundering in too deep to say: "Colorado has a snow removal problem that ranks with the labors of Hercules." Right now, the Colorado highway, department is in the midst of its 1950-51 winter job. Sixteen rotary snowplows, 21 rotary wideners, more than 200 trucks equipped with plows, plus all the installations necessary to back them up are used. The state contains 75 per cent of all the area in the United States that is 10,000 feet or more above sea level.

The department aims to keei 4,000 miles of primary highways open the year-around. It takes 700 men and $500,000 to do the job. Two-hundred of the men am a big slice of the machines anc money are assigned to the high spots. WHEN IT REALLY SNOWS Ivylee Tower of the de partment's office at Craig, tells of a bad storm last March 26 on Rabbit Ears pass. "The job is to keep open slot of road sliced between snow banks 15 feet deep across the seven-mile top of the Continents Divide," Tower says.

"For 47 hours the storm raged Even in daylight it was impos sible to see. The frigid blast burl ed the stinging snow into the men's faces, blinding them, and cut through the heaviest cloth ing to numb the body. "When the storm broke, Ches ter (Chet) Pierce, maintenance patrolman wise in the ways the blizzard, radioed the Craig office to close the pass. He im mediately organized his crew of eight men to rescue motor ists who were stranded in the seven-mile slot. BATTLE AGAINST TIME "It was a battle against time, first to rescue motorists, and, second, to pull out the stranded cars which, once covered with drifts, would prove serious obstacles to snow removal operations.

"Then began the task of keeping open the long cut. Day and night the roaring rotaries hammered at the swirling drifts. There was little time to eat and even less for sleep. "At last the wind, beaten on its own battlefield, withdrew, arid word was flashed by radio to Slate Cleaning For Well No. 2 The city commission a recommendation by George Galloway, field engineer for the', Layne-Northwest yesterday, and will have the new city well 2 cleaned.
