j Atomic Energy Is Your Business ; ;' Chairman David E, Lilienthal of the Atomic Energy Commission made an unspectacular but very important speech in Crawfordsville, Ind., Monday night. There was a note of warning in his plea for the people to inform themselves abqut atomic energy, so that they can "keep the broad decisions'! in their hands. Mr. Lilienthal set out to puncture the notion that atomic energy is too technical, or too deeply involved in national security,, to be the subject of widespread public discussion. . ,. "That is plain nonsense," he said, "and dangerous nonsense dangerous to cherished American institutions and for th&t reason dangerous to genuine national security." - So long as international control of atomic energy remains unrealized, certain phases of the process must necessarily fall within the realm of military secrecy: But atomic energy is; not synonymous with the atomic bomb, The great issue, for the nation and the world, is to what use the steadily widening scientific knowledge of atomic structure shalt be:put. That decision cannot be made by military, men alone, ncr by scientists alone, nor by politicians alone. j "What' this vast problem, requires," said Mr. Lilienthal, is j'not technical judgment but rather the human, experience and good sense of the'aiatural leaders of opinion within the thousands of communities of the' country.', ... Nothing could "t-aken the security of our couptry in the atomic field rnore t'jfckly, nor more surely slow up research in, cancer control, say, than to permit science and scientists-, to; 'be .kicked arpund by the organized forces of ignorance and demagog.ory, and petty politics." . ; ' '" ' . . . ;: i: Yet the people can be debarred from a decisive voice, in the; future use cf atomic science if they fa.il to inform themselves especially on the question, of international control. Mr! Lilienthal makes complete sense when- he urges that citizens do their own thinking, and put atomic energy at the topof the agenda for discussion and study in'commercial associations, unions, parent-teacher groups, service organization's, women's' clubs and the likel ' ; - '. . "There lias never been any good, substitute! for the allaround common sense of an informed lay public," says Mr. Lilienthal. "That is just what is" needed here."-Chicago Sun.

" I On Sunday evening, September 28th, at 7 o'clock at the Pentecost Church, Miss Thelma Ault, daughter of Mrs. Clara Ault, will be

Against Bend Issue As a taxpayer I want it distinctly understood that I am not a person that opposes an issue for the sake of opposing. I would not object to buying some new equipment for the Mary Sheman Hospital, jf needed, and . it may . be. If an isolation, ward is necessary and proof it shown, I would be in favor of that. As a taxpayer J am willing to pay my share for equipment or addition that will save lives or relieve suffering. The taxpayers, who will have to pay for this addition, . if built, should have the right to determine what is needed. They have to. cut corners in their personal

I' needs, so perhaps they will know

how to cut corners in this expense. Corners need tp be cut wherever possible and we want value received for money spnt. fhe taxpayers who have support-

! ed and maintained this hospital

many years could hardly be accused oi refusing to carry a reasonable load now. Many have had to carry loads for taxation which have broken their backs financially. ' Accordingly it 3s not a question of their willingness to assume any needed burden. It is a question of their wanting to know what they are buying and if it is needed and. worth the price. They have the right to know before this bond issue is imposed upon them where every penny is going and what it buys. They have the right to determine the need how urgent that may be. This should have been voted on by all the people before this legislation was passed. They should have been given the right to speak before this law was slammed in their faces. Taxpayers who have carried the burden for years; their children who are carrying and assuming their share now; the children who in a few more years will also be burdened with this do not want to mortgage their future to this extent, I Some people say this proposed addition will cost them $10.00 or $20.00, figured on " the low 14 cent rate, which we all know is only a small drop in the bucket. As a business man it will cost me several hundred dollars. That several hundred dollars added to federal income taxes, unemployment taxes, social security, gasolnie tax, and tax on practically everything but the . air you

i breathe, may cost many people their homes.

S Since we don't know , how many more taxes are coming, I let's not have 1 any unnecessary ' ones. This proposed addition has

not been proved necessary. Everything is against rather than for this at this time. Building costs are too high. Added taxes when everything else is high increases our burden. If . repairs and equipment are required let's take care of that if the taxpayers wish but not attempt to saddle on a back breaking load at this time. A Man in Business. . (Known to Editor)

; Out in California, the Federal tax collector ran up against something new at a college dance. It seems that admission to the dance is determined by the size of the waist of the young lady. Now, Federal tax law states that the 20 per cent tax on that admission must be an "estimated rate of admission." But, with all : those gals having different size waists, bow was Uncle Sam going to get his share? The tax collector took a tape measure, applied it to twenty coeds, and decided that 28 inches around the middle would be the average size. . So, they pay a tax on the admission for that waist measurement.. We .would have liked to have done the measuring. ' 1 .. i This business of longer skirts for the women has come in for considerable discussion. At Washington State College, a board of control for the student activities at the college talked about the !new skirt-length, and decided 'that it didn't like the new style. The vote on the matter was 8 to 6. Who is on 'the board? Well, it ' consists of eight men and six coeds. j ' . I A former sailor in Chicago, has won a free automobile and some $2,071 from an automobile dealer in Chicfego. The veteran purchased a 1942 Buick for $1,925 last October from the used car dealer. But, the vet decided he had been overcharged, and brought suit against the dealer. The pudge in the case ruled that (he had been charged $690 over , the ceiling price that was before O.P.A, was scuttled by the Rej publicans and ordered the , dealer to give the vet triple dam

ages and attorney's fees. So, . he

got tne automoDiie jor notmng. . ; One of the pitching greats will

be back on the mound for the hapless St. Louis Browns before the season ' is over. Dizzy Dean, who broadcasts for the Browns, said over one of his broadcasts that he felt he could do better

than some of the so-called pitchers the Browns were using. The response from the listeners was so great that the 3rown management decided to giva the Dizzy One a chance. He will hurl one of the last games of the season for the Browns. Dean, however is realistic about his chances. He has urged the listeners to get to the ball park early if they want to sea him pitch. For, ha said, he might not be in , there too long. ; . , ! Up North, there is an eightteam girl's soflball league, and the gals play for keeps. In Grand

rcapias, one or tne pretty con- i

testants slugged an umpire because she didn't like his decision. Of course, like a tru gentleman, he did nothing about it, but the i league fined the pugnacious iei male S100. That riled the. fans so much that they started to contribute to the local radio station to pay the fins. The money rolled in until there was $2,000 in the till, more than, enough to pay the fine. Then, the station announced that they Were returning all tha money to the fans, and would pay the gal's fine itself. They love those gals. i . ! By the way, have you any spare buttons? If you have, and they are, unusual, then you . can , take them to Indianapolis, and enter them in a national button exhibit. It seems that button collectors will gather in the Capital

and put their buttons on, display. !
