All second and third grade children in Adams county schools will get their second and final shot of polio vaccine on September 28, 29. and 30. We want to take this opportunity to congratulate- Mrs. Glenn Hill, volunteer county chairman and Dr. Harold" Zwick, medical chairman for the splepdid way in which they have organized for this great effort toward eventual liquidation of a dreaded disease. Mrs. Hill and her assistants, all of whom are volunteers are doing a great work in completing the program. -—0 0 The Daily Democrat last year published a weekly column of Decatur high school and Decatur Catholic high school news items. This year, plans are underway to add Pleasant Mills, Monmouth and Adams Central schools to the list and each Thursday, sterling September 29, school items of interest will appear in this newspaper. The response from Decatur readers was gratifying last year and we believe that by adding the three neighboring schools this year, many interesting items will appear weekly in the news columns. "— - o— —0 On September 29, the taxpayers of Adams county will have their last opportunity to officially voice their opinion concerning the proposed tax rate. Os course there will be lots of complaining next* May at tex paying time, but then it is too late. The state board of tex commissioners will conduct a final hearing on September 29 in the Auditor’s office. Any person may appear and make suggestions. The state board has the authority to reduce rates or restore to original proposals but can not raise the rate higher than the first proposal. The rates are high, but taxpayer interest in the rate is low. In the final analysis it’s up to the people,-just what 'kind of a government they have and how much they pay for ait. If the people fail to act then the officials do the best they can.

Eisenhower Works On Mystery Picture Mystery Woman On President's Easel FRASER. Colo. (IN’S) — A "mystery woman" was taking shape today on the easel of a celebrated amateur artist painting in a makeshift studio in the Rocky Mountain# President Eisenhower, it was disclosed. is working on an oil painting of the unidentified woman at his fishing camp near Fraser, Colo. Acting news secretary Murray Snyder, who got a glimpse of the unfinished canvas, said the woman appeared to be a "peasant type.” He said the President was doing the portrait from sketches he had made himself. Snyder didn’t ask who the woman was, and the President didn’t volunteer the information. Mr. Eisenhower appeared to be enjoying his painting and cooking at least as much as the trout fishing during his current stay at secluded Byers Peak ranch ringed by snow peaked mountains. 20 Years Ago Today Sept. 21—Earl Rabbit and Don Bowers drive- cars which collide east of Monmouth and both cars burn, Rabbit and family were pulled from their car, Rabbit, seriously injured.

Crippled Lady Saves Partly Paralyzed Man CHICAGO INS) — A 68-year-old crippled woman tossed aside her cane, re-entered a blazing building and helped a partly .paralyzed neighbor to safety. Mrs. Rose Wachoski hobbled out from a two story apartment Tuesday before remembering that 70- ■ year-old Walter Michalski had no way of getting out of. his first floor flat at the rear. She did not realize that she didn’t have her walking stick until after she had helped Michalski. Hurricane lone Is Moving Northeast Storm Is Reported Losing Its Power BOSTON (INS)- —The weather bureau reported today that hurricane lone is now about 150 miles southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The storm is moving northeast at about 45 miles an hour. An advisory issued at 6:30 a. m. (EDT) said the still dangerous storm is expected to pass near 'Sabi® Island early today and over southeastern Newfoundland this afternoon. It said the storm is losing its power as cold air from Canada moves into it. The advisory said that as this happens “the maximum winds near the center will decrease slightly but the area of gales will increase considerably." 30,000 Homeless VERA CRUZ, Mexico (/NS) — Some 30,000 persons were reported homeless and hungry in Madero City and Tampico today in the wake of hurricane Hilda. The tropical storm brought heavywinds and drenching rains to the Mexican Gulf coast on Monday, . pushing already swollen rivers over the river banks and isolating many areas. A radio message from the tanker "l-Bth of March" said it was grounded in the port of Tampico along "with three other ships'. The message said nine private and commercial planes were destroyed at the local airport. The ship’s broadcast reported without confirmation that some 70 persons were drowned at the town of Anahuac.

Top Scientists Work On Conquering Space

(Editor’* note: This is the third of four articles bn the practical poaalbilities and problems of space travel by a 1 science writer who visited big secret U. S. rocket and guided missile bases and talked to the world’s foremost space scientists.) By EDWIN DIAMOND WHITE SANDS, N. M. (INS) — With all their power and precision, today’s rockets ar? comparable to the first awkward plane Orville and Wilbur Wright built in a bicycle shop 52 years ago. The Wright Brother’s plane represented a revohitidnary breakthrough when it went 120 feet In 12 seconds from‘’Kill Devil Hill, near Kitty Hawk, N. C., on Dec. 17, 1903. Today, a U. S. Air Force B-36 can fly 10.000 miles non-stop and drop a 10,000-pound load along the way. The B-36's wingspread alone is twice the length of that first Kitty'’Hawk flight. The proposed space satellite approved by President Eisenhower will be another revolutionary breakthrough. But rocket experts expect the space crafts of the future to dwarf the spacebail vehicle in power and performance just as the B-36 towers over the Kitty Hawk plane. And in a shorter span of time. Nucidar power plants are considered the next —and most important — breakthrough in space flight. Nuclear engines would make possible crew carrying ships able to range over our and other solar systems. Liquid propellants are better but more expensive than solid propellant*, according to rocket engineers Charles Mansur and Lowell (Randall. Said Randall: “We have reached about 50 per cent of the efficiency limits of liquid chemical propellants. “This means we are nearing the celling on rocket performance unless we can find some other form of power.” Two Chicago propulsion specialists, Stephen J. Fraenkel and Vincent Cushing of Armour research foundation. Illinois institute of technology, also look toward a nuclear power plant as the solution to .long distance rocket travel. Cushing believes any real interplanetary travel is "tied in closely with the development of a nuclear tower plant.” a. To achieve- such a power plant, Cushing recommended a "crash" program similar to the Manhattan district project which led to the development of the first atomic bomb. He said: “Given a few billion dollars and

from two to five years, scientists not only could design but build a 1 nuclear powered engine suitable for interplanetary flight." > Other potential means of propulsion have been or are being studied. Among them: The fusion process of the hydrogen bomb, electrical, ionic and photonje propulsion and solar’radiation. Dr. J. H. Fremlin of 1 Birmingham' University, England, has suggested a fusion reaction device. He proposes that helium and tritium, two of the light elements of nature, be mixed together in a I.OffO ton stainless steel sphere. The sphere would be heated to the incredible temperature of four million degrees centigrade and would serve as a thermonuclear combustion chamber for the rocket engine. Ernest Stuhlinger of the U. S. army ordnance missile center, Red Stone Arsenal, Huntsville. Ala., has proposed a turbo-electric generator capable of sending a space ship from "an earth satellite orbit to a Mars satellite orbit and back.” Thrust in the Stuhlinger electric space slflp system comes from ions and electrons expelled in the same manner as chemical rocket fuels. Another suggestion is a propulsion systeifi using mirrors to reflect solar radiation heat into a high pressure boiler. The “last word” in propulsion is "photonic” power. Photonic is a term credited to Dr. Eugen Saenger, an Austrian physicist who once worked for the German air ministry at the Peenemunde rocket center. He now heads the “institute for jet propulsion physics” in Stuttgart. Dr. Saeger believes photonic propulsion can increase the thrust power of rocket engines to the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second, the fastest speed known. How would this be done? Dr. Saenger said it is possible “in theory.” The theoretical basis of photonic propulsion rests on Prof. Albert Einstein’s formula showing the conversion of mass into energy: E equals MC squared. Light has mass, although we don't think of it as such. According to the Einstein, theory, visible light consists of photons moving at the speed of light. If you can get a light source powerful enough to exert a forward thrust as it pours out behind . your vehicle —in the same manner’ that a rocket engine works—you would have photonic propoulsion. There is evidence • that Soviet Russia is interested in . the photonic theory. , Grigori Tokaev. a Russian engineer who defected to the west, has

declared he was orders from the Kremlin to bring Dr. and Mrs. Saenger to Moscow by persuasion or force. Tokaev’a mission failed. Dr. Saeger has since told International News Service he “doubted the Russians have solved the multitude of problems connected with photonic propulsion.” • Dr. Saenger ie not overlooking the possibility that the Russians may be “hot on the trail.” And what about the United States? Informed pources say the U. S. is also “hot on the trail” at perhaps two key research laboratories, one in the southwest, the other in the far west. According to the experts who can comment, neither the U. S. nor the U.S.S.R. has reached the mechanical "working stage” —as yet. (Next—When will man rocket out of this world?)
