Springville, son of Mrs. Norma Oakley, recently visited the American Museum o f Atomic Energy, Oak Ridge, Tenn., which features demonstrations demon-strations and displays on peaceful uses of the atom. The museum, operated for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Com-mission by Oak Ridge Associated Associ-ated Universities, is the first such institution in the nation devoted to nuclear science. Especially Es-pecially trained lecture-demonstrators show how the power of the atom is utilized in medicine, med-icine, industry, and agriculture. Dozens of other exhibits and electronic devices, many operated oper-ated by the spectator, are available to Museum visitors. They include a cutaway model of the nuclear cargo ship "Savannah," "Sa-vannah," a cloud chamber illustrating il-lustrating the use in physics research of vapor trails such as those left by jet planes, a hall or lame ror scientists, visitor operated tests of materials for radioactivity, the workings of a uranium mine, and devices equipped with earphones and tape recordings describing atomic ato-mic structure. The United States had the greatest merchant fleet of all time at the end of World War H. Its total of 36 million tons gross was more than half of the world's tonnage at that time. For new style in home decorating decor-ating women are turning to the candle. Elaborate shape and designs fit every household need. Candles are looking like mushrooms, owls, poodles, asparagus as-paragus clusters, egg plants, corn cobs and apples. What is more they are being canned as a protection against damage. A thought for the day Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes once said: "That's the nature of women . . . not to love when we love them and to love when we love them not." |
