Southern Pines In Area That Will
Benef it From New Atomic Test Plant
What will the establishment of | ployed when the construction ac-
an atomic test plant at Blewett tually begins and, perhaps, jobs
Falls in Anson County mean to
the area immediately surround
ing it? (Southern Pines, less than
35 miles away as the crow flies,
is considered in that area).
Governor Luther Hodges, in
making the announcement of the
$20 million plant this week, call
ed it one of the most important
announcements made in the past
several years for the state. Con
gressman Carl Durham of the
joint committee on Atomic En
ergy, says the plant will be a
“great basic research tool.”
And Congressman Paul Kitch-
in, of Wadesboro, says it will
carry a potential “beyond imag
ination.”
The test plant, unique in this
part of the United States, will
draw industrial attention from all
over the country. Many business
leaders in this county have pre
dicted that many of its economic
benefits “are bound to rub off on
Moore County by way of produc-
when the plant is in operation.”
The plant is expected to pro
vide at least 500 jobs with an
annual payroll of more than a
million dollars when it begins
operation, perhaps within two
years. Business leaders are think
ing beyond the immediate bene
fits of construction jobs, how
ever.
Research into the implications
of atomic energy for peacetime
uses is one of the greatest pro
jects in the country today. In the
future, some experts predict, oil
companies will bring their prod
ucts to the plant searching for
new possible uses. Pharmaceuti
cal companies will be there also,
searching for new ways to fight
diseases with the atom. And
metal manufacturers will use the
plant as a center of research.
It is even conceived that this
area will, in the not too distant
future, become the center for a
vast number of industries, drawn
center.
And unofficial reports indicate
that the plant will be the center
for a large number of scientists
conducting basic research in oth
er fields.
According to Gov. Hodges,
some 50,000 kilowatts of heat
will be produced by the plant
unit, second in size among test re
actors only to the 175,000 kilo
watt facility operated by the
Atomic Ener^ Commission in
Idaho. Industrial Testing Reac
tors, Inc., the firm that will con
struct the reactor, has empha
sized that it is designed primari
ly for use as a materials testing
reactor, not as an electrical gen
erating facility.
For Southern Pines, which sits
strategically between the Re
search Triangle in the Raleigh,
Durham, Chapel Hill area, and
the new reactor site, the an
nouncement could mean a great
deal.

What do we
^mean '"Catholic"
For many hundred
years after Christ’s
resurrection there
was only one church
that taught Christian
ity, It was known as
the' Holy Catholic
Church. In fact, the
word ‘'Catholic”
means universal. The
Episcopal Church is
one of the great branches of the One Holy
Catholic and Apostolic Church.
The full name of our church is the Protestant
Episcopal Church. It is protestant in that it did
away with certain abuses which developed in the
church during the middle ages, and to this day
it protests the error of what it considers to be
unwarranted and unscriptural additions to the
ancient faith and subtractions from it.
Yet, it remains Catholic. As the Book of
Common Prayer says — “because it is universal,
holding earnestly to the faith for all time, in
all countries and for all people, and is sent to
preach the gospel to the whole world.”
The Episcopal Church is not “just another
denomination.” It is a democratic and consti
tutional Catholic Communion — a true part of
the historic Catholic Church. More than
45,000,000 Anglicans the world over join in
worshipping, each in his own language, accord
ing to the Book of Common Prayer.
The Episcopal Church, through its Catholic
teaching and tradition, may provide for you
the sturdy faith you’ve been seeking. Join us
in churcl) — today.
