Man Os Science: Dr. Harold C. Urey

Walkerton’s American Legion Post 189 recently placed a marker at the coiner of Roosevelt Road and Illinois Street in honor of the birthplace of Dr. Harold C. Urey, although only living in Walkerton a very short time, was born here and from this humble start, went on to be one of the country's great scientists. His achievements have been recognized by the fact that Dr. Urey is a former Nobel Peace Prize recipient. In keeping with this, we are happy to bring to you. a few articles in the next few weeks to better acquaint the people of the area with Dr. Urey. The first such article appears this

The Thought Is Right!

The North Liberty American Legion has announced the plans for a “Support the Boys in Viet Nam’’ rally and demonstration this Friday night* in North Liberty. This will begin with a parade of Legionnaires and any interested persons who would like to use this method of showing their support. We personally agree that the thought is right, but is the action really what is needed? Everyone who professes to be a true American can have nothing but praise, admiration and prayers for those who are supporting their country in this often thought needless war, but with the trouble that has happened at demonstrations around the country protesting the war, is there a chance that something might flare up at the demonstration supporting the fighting men? This certainly isn't needed. The basis of the meeting, as pointed out in a preview of the event last Friday evening, is fine. A speaker on Americanism will be heard and a very fine showing some of the activities of the leftists groups who protest the war through burning of draft cards, open declarations against the flag, opposition to the administrations policy on Viet Nam other

week in The Independent with others- planned for following weeks. Using information gathered by the American Legion Post and in particular a letter Dr. Urey wrote after a request had been made for information. wg hope you too will become better acquainted with this man and his life. Dr. Urey was also honored last year by the School Board of the Polk-Lincoln-Johnson School Corporation as the Junior High School in this system, now at Tyner, Ind., was also named after this famous native. He truly is a great man and one this area can be proud to say was born in Walkerton.

means of protest, are depicted in this movie. The scenes displayed are actual filmKgs of these protests and certainly can make one see the disgrace and lack of Americanism displayed by these individuals. It is our hope that this display of support of the men in the Armed Services will be what is planned, simply a show of support, and not the staZt of trouble. In all probability, the planned demonstration wouli not be held had it not been ior the “Protest Against the War in Viet Nam" held in North Liberty a few weeks ago in which serious trouble didn't start, but easily could have. It must me remembered that the thought behind this demonstration is not one of support for the war. Each person has their own thoughts on this, but a show of support for the men engaged in defending what our government feels is right. Support of the men and American Flag will be shown Friday night, an element not too often seen but more often taken for granted. Again we say. the thought is right and we h< pe that no trouble or agitators occur that could cause harm or embarassment to the American Legit n or any individual.

Felt Here. Many residents of this community experienced their first earthquake tremor Saturday evening about 9:45. While the shake was the largest ever reported in this area, many people did not notice anything unusual, and those who did. gave little heed to the tremor, believing it due to the passing of a train or a heavy truck on the highway. Some residents were quite certain that they had experienced a quake, but most of them only recieved a "suspecious look" from their friends when they ventured the assertion. It was (•nly when he metr< p litan newspapers carried a story of the quake in the Sunday editions, that they were convinced they were right in their beliefs. Some local residents recalled a similar shake felt lure about 12 years ago. No damage was done and not much excitement was created. Best Shoe Shop Sold To Hesketts.
