Fear is always the result of ignorance, and I believe this terror can toe replaced with a wholesome attitude if our younger generation learns about the benefits of the Atomic Age, as well as its dangers. So far, we have told them mostly about atomic destruction, ignoring the fact that atomic energy, properly used, can enrich every area of our lives. Let's pray, that the destruction of the atom remains only talk, and instill hope in our children, not despair.

If I have to call the plumber again to take the pliers to the lid of the garbage disposer, I will be asked to leave home. The fourth time he came, the plumber gave me a strange glare. I don't blame him. Nobody else puts the garbage disposer lid on at such an angle that only a cannon blast could dislodge it. But I can and I'm not even strong.
