Scientist Says 99 ' Atomic
Research Is Constructive
Ninety-nine per cent of the re
search in atomic energy at the Oak '
Ridge, Tenn., national laboratory
is constructive compared to one
per cent for destructive weapons,
Dr. Christopher P. Keim said Wed
nesday in the last of three lec
tures at the Lake Junalusk* Metho
dist Assembly.
He is director of stable isotope
research and production at the bitf
laboratory, operated by the Car
bide and Carbon Chemical Co.
"We cannot halt sclentlflc pro
gress, and as the scientist probes
the future we must face that fu
ture realistically, and whether it is
one of dispair or hope may well
depend on how diligently all of us
search for the way and how much
faith we have in God,'' Dr. Keim
said.
He predicted that "the construc
tive peacetime uses of atomic en
ergy will increase in emphasis,"
and indicated that vast new de
velopments in the fields of industry
and medicine will soon be ready
for public usage.
"We are not too concerned about
exhausting our resources of coal
and oil because nuclear energy is
already available and production
costs will eventually be compar
able," Dr. Keim said. "Controlled
climate is also a distinct possibility
of the future, and the time may
not be too distant when we can
tap the sun as a source of heat and
energy."
Dr. Keim stated his belief that
"nuclear science is part of God's
plan for man's development . . .
since He has permitted us to pro
gress this far in the field of science,
we must continue onward and not
hide our heads in the sand."
He added: the impact of God
Himself has been the greatest im
pact of all to me in my work in
atomic energy, including the
atomic bomb."

Canton 4-H Club Member
Reports On Colorado Trip
By MARTHA SWAIM
Canton Sr. 4-H Club
Arriving in Greeley after four |
days and three nights of traveling,
we were given a formal welcome |
at Glenmere park by our host and
hostess.
Short welcoming speeches were
make by Dr. William R. Ross,
president of the Colorado State
Teachers College of Education
which is located in Greeley, an'
the Greeley mayor, Oscar Beck.
Also present at the welcome in
Greeley were, C. G. Staver, State
4-H club leader and the Weld
County board of commissioners.
Each of us also was presented
a silver dollar from the Weld
County Savings Bank.
We were then introduced to our
new "families" and briefed on our
schedule for the coming week.
We had arrived in Greeley an
hour and a half late, which was
due to another welcome which wa
given us on our arrival in Byers,
Colo., by 4-Hers and citizens. We
had planned lust stopping there
for a quick lunch in a restaurant
and were all certainly surprised
when we were given instead an
outdoor picnic an'd a tour of their
4-H center.
Our first night was spent in Pa
ducah, Ky., at the Timbers Motel,
and we all enjoyed our stay there.
We left Paducah around 7 a.m. and
spent our second night in Boon
ville, M? at the Hotel Frederick.
We arrived there about 5:30 p.m.
and after supper we devoted our
evening to swimming at the
Kiwanis Club pool.
We departed from the hotel at
7 a.m. Friday and traveled over
500 miles to Colby, KanBas, where
we spent our last night before ar
riving in Colorado. We were all
rather exhausted after our long
journey, but we found enough en
ergy to tour the town of Colby,
before going to bed.
I Leaving Colby Saturday we were
all getting rather anxious to meet
our "families" with whom we
would spend our Colorado week.
We all anticipated what our new
families would be like and after
meeting them none of us were
disappointed.
The majority of us are staying
on farms within a 30-mile radius
of Greeley and are all looking for
ward to a big week in Colorado.
