The program, titled "This Atomic World,” ia designed to acquaint stu dents with the basic prin ciples of nuclear energy, its sources and role in in dustry, agriculture and medicine. Phillip Lamm will pre sent the assembly program which breaks down into student terms topics in cluding the structure of atoms, radiation, reactors , and fusion.

He is a graduate of Atlantic Christian College, Wilson, and has done graduate work at East Carolina College, Green ville. He holds a bachelor of science degree. Specially designed elec tronic equipment is used during the 40-minute pro gram to show such things jfl Mk Washington report by Rep. Walter B. Jones On Monday, February 20, the House passed and sent to the Senate, H. R. 2 the title of which is ‘‘Reserve Forces Bill of Rights and Vitalization Act.” Many of you will recall that a few months ago, Secretary McNamara brought forth plans to consolidate cer tain parts of the reserve Armed Forces. Many in terpreted this as being an effort to do away with the Army Reserve and se riously cripple the Nation al Guard. And so it was that H. R. 2 was enacted to insure the integrity and the fu ture of the Army Reserve and the National Guard. Some members felt that the President already had the necessary powers, but notwithstanding, it was deemed advisable to enact this legislation. Among other things, it brings the full-time personnel of Army Reservists and Na tional Guard under Civil Service coverage providing a retirement plan and oth er benefits now available to Civil Service employees. This passed by a vote of 324 to 13, indicating the overwhelming approval of the House. I do not fore see any problem with the Senate taking a similar ac tion. Congressman Adam Clay ton Powell continues to be the main topic of conver sation both here and in the District. I would like to repeat emphactically that thi9 is not a question of race, but is one which in volves standards of con duct of an individual. On Thursday the special com mittee made certain recom mendations for punitive active and by the time you read this column, no doubt the resulting action by the Democratic member ship will be known. I think it is most important to realize that this ap pointed committee, was one to say the least, was friendly to Congressman •Powell, for each of the members of the committee originally voted to accord him his seat Also, creating much in terest was the disclosure of the activities of the CIA regarding college students and college organizations. It has raised a serious question in the mind of many of us as to the func tions of the CIA and their failure to be held account able to any branch of Gov ernment except the Exec utive. I feel that as a result of this disclosure, not passing judgment on the wisdom of their ac tions, that certain Con gressional Committees should exercise a more di rect control over the se cret operations of the CIA After all, it is an import ant function of our Gov ernment, charged with our ultimate security, and should be directed by the elected officials of this Na tion. I feel that this pro cedure could be followed without any impairment of our National security in anyway. Those interested in ag riculture problems, partic ularly the Minimum Wage Act of ltM, will be de lighted to know that to a ■ as sources of radiation, 1 how nuclear energy is har nessed to furnish electric power for cities, the use of radioisotopes as aid in diagnosis and treatment of diseases and to learn more about life processes. A blackboard talk to science classes, which deals snore specifically with such topics as atomic structure, radioactivity, ra. diation biology and careers in nuclear science, follows the assembly. The program is operated SI r Oak Ridge Associated diversities which handles the nationwide exhibits program for the Atomic fEnergy Commission. The association is a non-profit educational and research {corporation of 41 southern colleges and universities. The "This Atomic World” program scheduled here is one of 11 similar units ap pearing daily at high schools throughout the country. They are part of the AEC*s extensive trav eling exhibit program de signed to bring the pub lic a greater understand ing of atomic energy and its uses. Department of Labor has interpreted the landlord sharecropper arrangement as being a joint operation and that for minimum wage purposes, the share cropper, under most con ditions will be considered an independent operator and not covered under the minimum wage; and fur ther will be responsible for providing the labor within his own operation. This is the interpretation that both for the sake of the landlord and the share cropper, that many of us hoped for and urged the Department of Labor to adopt. It is my belief that under this interpretation both the landlord and the sharecropper can continue to survive, ness. Prayer can be a sus taining thing, when all else seems to have failed us. It can be an unburd ening of the heart, an un bearable load intangibly shared with One who is stronger than us; wisely used, h can be a release— a strength —a re-affirma tion of faith. Prayer is an exciting privilege in the life of a Christian. Let us be sure that we use it well.

John A. Mitchener, Jr., started the business on March 1, 1947, with El wood Nixon as manager. Nixon has held that po sition since the beginning of the operation. Mitchener, who has many local business enterprises, said Nixon has distinguish ed himself as one of the top specialists in his field. "Because of the undivided attention he devotes to his job, Elwood has gained a reputation for excellence,” Mitchener said. For the past few months the local operation has been swamped with pork. Nixon said the firm cures between 150,000 and 300,- 000 pounds of pork an nually. Over the years he has seen the producer com pletely change his attitude toward pork production. He said farmers today are producing better hogs, al though often time he only handles the scrubs. “Some producers will sell off all the best hogs and cure the scrubs for themselves,” he noted. Nixon added that he does not render one-half the fat he did a few years ago. “A farmer used to measure his hog by the number of stands of lard they put up,” he said. In the field of beef, the manager said eastern ani mals now measure up to the quality of western beef. “We, at one time, looked to the west for good steaks and other premium cuts of beef,” Nixon said. converting to electric heat is as easy as 1,2,3 Any room in your house can be adapted to nameless Your Comfort Conditioning Contractor will install heat with compact electric baseboard heating unite, your electric baseboards without tearing out walls or First, call your Vepco-authonzed Comfort Condition- flooring.

VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY "Now we are producing this high quality beef in the east.” While the firm handles thousands of pounds of beef and pork annually, all the work is to the cus tomer’s specifications. They do, however, put up their own brand of ham: “Ye Ole Towne." Except for the ham, the only product of Colonial Frozen Food Lockers is service. Nixon said this is a specialty with the firm. The local locker takes the animal alive and gives it back to the customer ready to drop in the pan. As an added service to local customers, the firm has come under state in spection. Every animal processed is inspected by the state inspection service which allows producers to sell locally. Another service of the firm is to act as a contact between the producer and customer. While the food lockers are not as popular as they were several years ago. most of the 417 bins at Colonial are in use. Too, the firm can provide quick freeze for items which nor mally, if put into a home freezer in quantity, would take several days to freeze. The firm has seven em ployees who are trained to do most any job in the plant. Legal Notices EXECUTOR’S NOTICE Having qualified as Executor of the estate of R. O.
