JOE KELTON 'Lucky Bucks' Gain Momentum "Each day the 'Lucky Buck' program seems to be gaining momentum. Customers are asking questions and they say they intend to be at the auction to bid on one or more of the 75 items that probably will be offered, many of which probably will be bid in at a reasonable amount in paper money. "There seems to be a general air of excitement about the whole program and 1 hope we'll have 100 per cent participation on the part of the merchants," stated Joe Kel-ton of the Kelton Store. Joe and Mae both serve customers in the well stocked store and have customers from a wide shopping area.

The Kelton's have a son Barry, who' is a buyer for the Great Eastern Mills in New York City. He and his wife have two children, a boy and a girl. Daughter Renee is married to Michael Sterling. They live in Chicago and both are teachers in the Chicago public schools. They have three daughters.

Kelton's Store has given the auction committee an $11.98 pair of Stretch Slacks, available in desired color and size, for the "Big Night, February 15." 75 Merchants Get Lucky Bucks Alpine Soft Water Service, Crown Liquor Store and Kenny's French Boy Popcorn asked Alfred for "Lucky Bucks" yesterday so that they could meet the demand of their customers. The enthusiasm and spirit for the program grows daily and those merchants still not entered in the program should delay no longer if they wish to please their customers and also cooperate with their fellow merchants to make downtown Belvidere the shopping area we all want it to be. Auction day is still three weeks away giving merchant and shopper ample time to participate in probably the greatest retail and business program ever created in Belvidere. To those merchants not yet entered we urge them to communicate with Alfred at the newspaper without further delay. The 75 merchants in the program-should make a display of their auction item at their place of business and furnish a duplicate of the item to either John Gepford or Dick By ers to be placed in the windows at 601 South State Street.

Knox, 55, admitted in written statements that he filed loan applications based on non-existent houses and paid small installments on the loans to cover up the deal. Knox retracted the statements in court and said he had intended to build the homes. His attorney, Horace Lund, blamed Robert Pfeiffer of Hayward, president of the association, for arranging the loans and leaving Knox to face the charges. Pfeiffer is scheduled to appear in Criminal Court Feb. 28 on similar charges.

Judge Thomas H. Fitzgerald postponed sentencing Knox Friday until motions for a new trial are heard Feb. 14. Plan Arena At Studebaker Site SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Studebaker's 800-acre auto testing grounds, containing the highest hill in the South Bend area, will be converted into a winter sports area.

Sales of the land to an investor group headed by R.H. Ham of Niles, and John D. Campbell of South Bend was announced Wednesday by Studebaker which has closed its auto production in South Bend. A day earlier, the firm had described as premature a report by the Mishawaka Times that the proving grounds had been sold. Studebaker said the sale was for an undisclosed amount of cash.

The newspaper had said the price was about $1 million. Studebaker said the investors plan to turn the heavily wooded, hilly land into a major recreation area for the residents of Indiana and Michigan. Planned facilities are reported to include a ski slope, a golf course, an auto racing course and overnight accommodations. DATES HAVE MEANING PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) Mrs.

Few words have been so prophetic. Hurriedly scrawled in a noteboolc 25 years ago, they probably constituted one of the great understatements of history. The phenomenon observed was the first time that the uranium atom had been spilt. It portended development of a vast new source of power atomic energy.

A. And It marked the beginning of the American effort to harness that energy. The man who scribbled1 the words was Dr. John R. Dunning, at the time an associate professor of physics at Columbia Dunnlng's notation and many details of his work had been secret until today, when they were revealed by the university in commemorating the anniversary of the development.

Attending building executives will hear authorities from many -areas in the construction industry present a program entitled "A Platform for Profits" at the two- day meeting. Sixty-million shoppers, mostly housewives, will spend more than 3 billion dollars in 25,000 supermarkets In 1964 for non-food merchandise, items that were not on her shopping list when she left home for the primary purpose of replenishing the family larder. Yhis "was the consensus of a panel of four officials of the American Research Merchandising institute, at the group's annual convention in Chicago earlier this month.

Impulse buying in a supermarket, brt In any other- store, is spurred by the ability of the merchant to have the right item, attractively displayed at the right time and price. Most of the nonfood items sold in a supermarket are in the 29, 39, and 98 cent price range. Want to know the 12 most persuasive "selling" words as discovered by expert research?

What occurred is described this way by Columbia: "Suddenly, huge green lines began to shoot up In the circle of the oscilloscope They leaped high and seemed to Jump from the screen and they stunned the scientists. "Dunning called them 'enor-1 mous kicks' In the laboratory note-book.

Other scientists at Columbia expanded the research. On March 3, 1939, they discovered that a nuclear chain reaction was possible. On March 16, 1939, Columbia's dean of graduate faculties wrote a Navy admiral that there was "a possibility that uranium might be used as an explosive that would liberate a million times as much energy per pound as any known explosive." The late Enrico Fermi, Hall-' an physicist and Nobel laureate who then was a Columbia professor, had worked with Dun-, ning in developing the theory which to the first test. However, beesssran-ppotnfcr-ment In Washington, he was not present when it was carried out. Later, with other scientists, Fermi built the, world's first, atomic furnace at Columbia.

It was Ihe" prototype -of the graph- ite and cadmium "pile" at the University of Chicago where, on Dec. 2, 1942, Fermi produced the world's first self-sustaining chain reaction. The research eventually led to the atomic bomb. Dunning now is dean of Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Science, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this Slack has ended a long teaching career at Van-derbllt and retired to Florida. Booth rose to the chairmanship of Columbia's physics department, but left in 1959 to become a business executive.

They all say the same thing: "Well I'll be darned Look how simple they've made It." Actually, you can open, load and start shooting with a KODAK INSTAMATIC Camera several seconds quicker than you can describe the motions. It's as fast and easy as one-rwo-three.

Getting rid of that business of threading film through the camera and onto a take-up spool is Just about the brightest thing that every happened to picture-taking. And being able to do it In bright sunlight instead of for a dark corner is pretty good, too. And that's not the only sur- 1 prise. If you've been used to giving up on the idea of getting a vertical picture on a slide, a KODAK INSTAMATIC Camera is for you. KodaJ? solved the problem with a new square format that makes composing slides as easy as composing for prints.

No matter how sophisticated you've become as a photographer, there's a KODAK INSTAMATIC Camera quite suitable for your skills. After all, the cameras do most of the'' critical" "thinking" foryouany- way. Automatic exposure control, automatic adjustment to the speed of the film you're using, automatic correction for1 shooting with flash Instead of natural lighting. There's even': one model that automatically advances the film so you can' shoot a roll of film as fast as you can twitch your finger. Come down and let me show youl nition Program for 1964, as in preceding years, "is to more fully acquaint the general public and business with the role advertising serves-in our economy." The massive promotion is sponsored jointly by the AAW and the Advertising Federation of America.

Combined membership of the two organizations includes 180 advertising clubs and 21 national af-filate organizations. "We expect that virtually all of the country's leading newspapers, magazines, broadcast and outdoor media will unite with us in telling advertising's story," Adams said. According to Adams, whose agency created the materials, all of the print and broadcast advertisements prepared for the 1964 campaign will feature a single, hard-hitting theme "Advertising Is The Voice of Free "As advertising people and media people," "he observed, "we do our best to tell die public about ur clients' products or services. We do this as accurately, attractively, and persuasively as we know how. You need a voice to sell a product or service.

Advertising is that voice. But a voice can't buy a product or service. It's the customer who makes the ultimate choice. This is a fact about our business that is generally misunderstood by a large segment of the general public and I am sorry to say, by an astonishing number of businessmen and editorialists." The 1964 campaign will be concentrated over a seven-day period, as contrasted with the year-round approach formerly employed. "We believe this will give our message greater impact," Adams said.

The 36-year-old chairman lauded the AFA for its efficient and prompt preparation and distribution of advertising materials to the combined membership of the two groups. The materials unveiled by Adams include four newspaper advertisements, four magazine advertisements in various sizes, three one-minute and three 30-second recorded spots, a variety of "live" spots, two 20-second television spots, a single 24-sheet outdoor poster in color, and several transit car cards. "Every man, woman, and child in this country benefits from advertising," Adams said. "Let's tell them why during Advertising Recognition Week." CO-ED RIDES IN STYLE PUEBLO, Colo.

Strippers Idled By Daley Padlock CHICAGO (AP) Mayor Richard Daley has ordered a crime syndicate strip Joint padlocked after a police raid there uncovered records of a thriving B-girl racket. The mayor, also the city's liquor control commissioner, set a hearing for Jan. 30 to consider the revoking the license of the Shore Club, a North Clark street tavern. Detectives from the police prostitution unit are asking for the revocation because the club allegedly harbors vice operations and is secretly owned by Mike Glitta, who they described as a Cosa Nostra hoodlum.

They are to appear in Women's Court Feb. 6. Police said the strip joint grossed $10,000 a week for syndicate gangsters. More than 50 cases of cheap wine which the club allegedly sold as champagne were discovered In the basement. Is Your Houso DRY?
