Apollo Contributions Already Make Mark This day man's oldest dream is a reality this day the ancient bonds tying him to the earth have been broken. Apollo has given us a new freedom. With the achievement of the first manned landing on the moon, we have accomplished the most momentous feat in the history of man. The triumph of Apollo 11 is nevertheless only a beginning it has given us the confidence to dream those impossible dreams and the knowledge required to make those dreams a reality. No event has so sharply focused the attention of people everywhere. For men of all nations, and of all stations, Apollo is a portent of progress, a benign symbol of their ability and of their civilization. But Apollo is more than a portent it has already contributed greatly to the advancement of knowledge and the use of technological innovation, which are the keys to better living for all people. In addition, the pursuit of excellence that characterizes space activity has advanced all of those nations that have entered this arena. It is clear that leadership in science and technology is a dominant factor m the economic and political competition among the industrial nations. It is also clear that only continuing growth in nati on a 1 productivity can produce the wealth necessary to provide the rising standard of living that more and more people are coming to expect. The stimulus of the space program has already produced more new knowledge and more innovations in all aspects of our lives than any previous endeavor, including major war. The basic idea of the space helmet has been used in the design of a bood worn by patients in a children's clinic so that their consumption of oxygen can be measured while they perform exercises. A filtered air system that eliminates virtually all dust and airborne bacteria within minutes from the operating room and other medical environments has been developed. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program for assembly of spacecraft in a dust-free environment provided the scientific basis for these surgical and medical applications. A plastic-metallic spray for attaching heart electrodes to test pilots is being used experimentally in equipment with which electrocar iograms of ambulance patients can be flashed ahead by radio to a hospital receiving room. A sensor designed to count meteorite hits on a spacecraft is the basis of an instrument that, by measuring muscle tremors, may help doctors in early detection of certain neurological ailments, including Parkinson's disease. An instrument designed to measure air pressure on small flight models in wind-tunnel tests has been adapted to measure blood pressure. The sensor is so small it can be inserted through a hypodermic needle and pass along an artery into the heart. There are many examples of the use of space technology in industry ana other nonmedical fields.

Over half a million people have been trained in new ways of doing things, and their influence will continue through the coming years. Scientific parochalism has been broken down before such challenges as the requirement to keep a man in comfort on the lunar surface where there is no atmosphere, and where the temperature varies between 260 degrees and minus 330 degrees Fahrenheit. Engineers worked with medical doctors, chemists and metallurgists with biologists all these and others learned to work together to prepare the environmental control system that Buckminster Fuller has called "man's first scientific home." We have learned much and we have built well, and we are now prepared to meet the next challenge to utilize this new territory, this "other world," the moon. Nine more Apollo- Saturn mooncraft are being readied to continue the exploration of this fascinating new land. Our lunar exploration program has planned landings at 10 sites, four of which lie essentially in the zones of the initial Apollo lunar landing candidate sites. It has been surprising that as we have learned more about the moon, we have found it is a much more dynamic planet than anyone thought four or five years ago. For example, many geophysicists now believe that there were at one time oceans on the moon. And from our orbital pictures, we have aeen evidence of what might have been the flow of rivers on the moon. Wherever there are oceans and the atmosphere that has to accompany them, there may have been the kind of conditions that led to life on this planet When « man says he does not car* lor the society of women, m know that be has tried anf failed.

Now it's true that there are some single people who don't mind being pointedly invited to a dinner where another obviously unattached person will be pres ent. But it's been my experience that most unmarried or divorced persons don't like to advertise their single state and resent the blatant efforts of even the most well-intentioned hostess. If you are going to invite a single woman, than you ought to supply a selection of single males other than the '•him" you want to introduce her to; this is a good time to snag that older bachelor uncle, your second cousin in the retail business, an interesting student in your fam ily. i SATPIDAY, JULY 28, IMP THZ CAftJLfIU LICENSED NURSES ARE WANRD FOR CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYMENT I RALEIGH—The Raleigh I» Bo«Bf of tf.
