City's Woman's Club Holds 49th Banquet

By Mary T. Coulson . j The 49th anniversary banquet of the Woman's Club was held at , the j Davis Hotel, Tuesday night, j Nov. 19th with 82 members and J guests "present for the - ceremony and three-course dinner. White chrysanthemums and snap dragons, ivy and lighted candles decorated the three long tables which were placed in front of the speakers table. The president, Mrs. Malcolm Campbell, presided and all stood at the tables as the invocation "My Prayer" was sung by Mrs. Tom Reid accompanied by Mrs. j Rudolph Wernz. j Mrs. Campbell, in her gracious manner, welcomed the group to j the annual banquet. She told of the club programs cf the past years and the program for this, j the 49th year. She expressed re- ' grets for 'the loss of two members during the past year, Mrs. Burns and Mrs. Chaney. Mrs. Joe Lowdermilk was introduced as program chairman for the evening. Mrs. Paul Wible, accompanied by Mrs. Wernz, sang "Wild Geese" by Paul Koepke, and "You keep Coming Back Like a Song" by Irving Berlin. ' D. H. Brown, in his own inimitable manner, responded to the welcome. He informed MrsLowdermilk he had made preparations for the honor of being the principal speaker since last year's response had been from the "youngest" member. Finding he was not to give such a speech, he had gone through his files and found his speech-wnade after Billy Sunday appeared at Merom Chautauqua. In reply 'to Mrs. Campbell's comment on surprises, including the Republican victory, he thought Sullivan county was still Democratic . "since we had a regular Thanksgiving turkey dinner oiTthe third week in the good ole' New Deal way." He complimented the club for its achievement and spoke for all the guests in their privilege and pleasure of being in attendance. "Atomic Bomb-rAtomic Power" was the topic Robert J. Kryter used in his forceful address which held the attention of the entire group. Mr. Kryter, of Indianapolis, is a chemical engineer, a graduate of Purdue, and is employed by the Clinton Engineer ing Works which makes precision instruments. In response to Mrs. Campbell's remarks of changing times and ! changing program topics, Mr. j Kryter emphasized there was a i need for more women's clubs . to bring more people together to I discuss ideas. "This atomic power is the most important event of all times," he stated, "it's a symbol of more scientific achievement and spiritual kindness."

' Ke traced science search for thi power back to 1898 when radium was discovered on up to 1931 when two new elements wefe -found which became V the ke'$"tor -unlock the atom and ''by 1942 more money, more man power and more brains were put in this business of splitting atoms than had ever known before.

"An atom is a composite structure. All things that happen are shifting the electrons around the atom," he further stated. He took a dime as an example "Destroy matter and it appears as energy. It could lift the Empire State Building 52 miles into the air and one pound of matter equals 10,000,000 tons of TNT. "The military was so afraid of the vast potentialities of the atom that they listened to the scientists. "It took American genius to work out the atom bomb, but because of its radio-activity those who worked on it never saw the material. Purdue University had one ten millionth of an ounce to work with. When uranium was brought into the process, it exploded and the reaction was likened to a chunk of the sun's innermost heat "We have only seen the destructive power. It's theoretically possible to generate constructive power but the problems are different for there is too much explosive possibility. "The power comes from one source, uranium, which is government controlled. It will be only when and if we can produce it easily and cheaply that we can have high potential powerPower that makes the sun and stars shine in the sky. "Our colleges have a job to turn out young people who must get along with people," he said. "Four thousand years ago the answers to man's inhumanity was given when Cain said, 'Am I my brother's keeper?' " In conclusion, he stated. "The world has been in clumsy hands the power of the sun. We must be our brother s keeper if we want to live." The arrangements committee for the evening was: Mesdames P. L. Reid, D. H. Brown and J. P.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. (UP) Government officials believed today that John L. Lewis will act before the midnight deadline to prevent a mass walkout of 400,000 United Mine Workers tonight. Their belief was based on the fact the UMW chief must do something soon to, free himself of liability to contempt action. Such action is possible if he defies a Federal court order that he call off the threatened shutdown.

TERRE HAUTE,, Nov. 20. (UP) Eleven more Indiana soft coal mines closed today and the Solid Fuels Administration said 63,000 AFL United Mine Workers in the state were idle in premature strikes. ' . The additional closing this morning raised the total shutdown of Hoosier mines to 28, all but nine of them shaft facilities. Three more strip, operations quit today when AFL workers failed to rport. . An early --survey showed the Dugef Domestic Mine, Sullivan; the Enos Coal Company's mine in Pike county, the Maumee Collieries mines at Linton and Sul- . livan and the Mount Pleasant mine near Terre Haute failed to open this morning. TROOPS ALERTED WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. (UP) Army troops were alerted today and an air of tension gripped the nation as the zero hour grew steadily nearer for a walkout by John L. Lewis' soft coal miners at midnight tcnigbt. Justice Department offic- ' ials watched Lewis closely -in the belief he would make a sudden legal maneuver during the day to upset the government's campaign ' in the court to prevent the mine shutdown. PITTSBURGH, Nov. 20. (UP) More than 117,000 of the nation's 400,000 soft coal miners stayed away from the pits today as the hour drew near for the second industry-wide walkout in nine months. - Production was reduced drastically as more miners joined the walkout that was snowballing rapidly toward a general paralysis of the industry. William Hines, director of the UMW District 4 at Uniontown, Pennsylvania, predicted that all pits in his district would be closed by the deadline. Steel mills made preparations to bank blast furnaces and curtain production sharply for the industry. Latest government figures showed steel and rolling , mills had only a 35-day supply of coal on hand and coke ovens had only a 23-day supply. Officials in 25 eastern states prepared for a partial brown-out.
