Show The Word From Boulder BY MJTIIELLA GRIFFIN I may have to give up reading i the newspapers. I keep finding 'too many thing.' that I can t understand. For Instance, a day or so ago I read that a certain Edwin Gossner ot Smithflcld, i peaking at a Poultry Association meeting at the Hotel Utah, had said the 1954 production of gg whites was 22 million pounds, which was a .SO percent Increase over that of 1953, while the year's production of egg yolks was only 10 4 million pounds, an increase of only 23 per cent over that of the previous year. Will someone please oxplain to in this great difference In production of egg whites and yolks? The eggs my own he i lay, and those ot my neighbors, seem to contain about the same proportion of wUlri to yolks day after day, year after year. Have the breeders produced a new kind of hM whose egg are all whites? I have an acquaintance who should be pleased, as she tats only the whites, but most people I know still prefer a yellow center In their breakfast egg. And only a, short time ago I read that some Columbia University physicists had devised a new atomic clock which is much more accurate than any clocks now In common use- sine they are based on sun standard time or rotation of the earth. The paper said that the earth's rotation is comparatively unreliable, since it may vary as much as one necond In three years. The new atomic standard time, on the other hand, would never le "off" more than on second in three hundred years! This may be of gTeat Importance to the physicists, but for me, if I can find a time piece that won't vary more than a second In three years, or even in three days, I'll be satisfied.
