The nation that boasts the highest average longevity is the Netherlands, says the National Geographic Society. Average life expectancy for a Dutch woman is now 72.9 years; a man, 70.6.

How to fire up such reactions safely has always been one of the toughest problems in the quest for H-power. , Now scientists have created the requisite temperatures — but only for a part of a millionth of a second in only a minuscule amount of “fueL” They have not yet reached the goal of virtually inexhaustible power which will be realized when man learns to fuse the cores of hydrogen atoms in a sustained and non-violent way. This goal may still be decades distant. But laboratory experiment! in thermonuclear (fusion) control have yielded an unexpected dividend —a new theory of the origin of the universe and an expanding at high speed in all directions. Creates Test-Tube Galaxies One scientist actually has created “test-tube galaxies which resemble the vast star systems that make up the universe. This and other information — much of it secret until now — was revealed at a panel session on fusion reactions at the winter meeting of the American Nuclear Society. Dr. A.C. Kolb of the Naval Research Laboratory reported he has produced temperatures of 100 million degrees in a tiny bit of deuterium (heavy hydrogen), a fusion fuel. Kolb achieved his tremendous temperatures with shock waves fired in a high-voltage gas discharge tube. Using magnetic fields as a driving force, he created shock wave velocities 250 times the speed of sound. But the high temperature region was small, and the heat induced in the deuterium gas was quenched

in less than a millionth of a second. < It was Dr. Winston H. Bostick, i head of the physics department of s Stevens Institute of Technology, who created the miniature 1 galaxies and came up with a new astronomical theory. * Evolves New Theory He, too, created atomic speeds corresponding to 100 million degrees. He accelerated a "Veritable river of atoms" to 450,000 miles an hour—the highest speed that matter in such densities “has ever attained on earth." i> By means of an extremely powerful electric arc lasting only half 1 a millionth of a second, he fired ' streams of atoms into a magnetic ‘ field. 1 The ionized atoms formed themselves into tiny clumps which Bostick called "plasmoids." Under ; the influence of the magnetic field they poured into luminous spirals. Bostick deduced that the spiral galaxies in the heavens formed originally out of hydrogen atoms pulled together by gravitational forces which were transformed intd' magnetic energy. Thus each galaxy, as it evolved into a system

Two TV Networks ; To Present Classic > Musical Versions Os Christmas Carol ' HOLLYWOOD Christ- ] mas two TV networks are unabashedly handing you viewers the identical present—musical versions of the Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Card." At the demand of fans, CBS-TV is running for the third season its 90-minute filmed musical version of the famous story Dec. 13, with Fredric March and Basil Rathbone as stars. And, as if one good show calls for another, NBC-TV is staging the same Dickens’ story Dec. 23— also as a musical. If this show looks familiar, it may be because Basil Rathbone, the Marley's ghost

in the CBS version, will be seen as Scrooge on NBC. The? jNBC musical, re-named ‘The Stingiest Man in Town," also will star real singers—Patrice Munsel, Vic Damone and Johnny Desmond. t The CBS show was made two years ago by producer-director Ralph Levy, who took the idea to the network because he wanted to try something more serious than his Jack Benny program. He graciously says he doesn’t mind that NBC is musicalizlng "A Christmas Carol,” too. "More power to ’em,” he said. "We’ve been doing our version longer. "Besides. I’m sure they’ll have a different treatment. I must say I don’t approve of popular singers for the classics. Damone and Desmond are good but I wouldn’t fool with the classics that way. Our version is more like an operetta.” If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.
