What Can Average Man Do About Atom Bomb? Nothing, That Is Columnist's Advice By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK .P) Natural ly everyone today it wondering wha he should do about the a:om bomb. The best possible advice to fol low is don't buy one now on a rising market. Why have one around the house at all? You can't tune in a base ball program on It like you can on a television set. It's too heavy to throw at a cat and too big to fire at a burglar. And the resale or trade-in value of a used atom bomb ii practically zero. Nope, you might at well turn the whole matter over to the In ternational diplomats of the United Nations, whose theme I stockpile, and I'll show you mine." Bored By Bomb I think the average man will be glad to let it go at that For he has become bored to death with the atom bomb.

And he isn't happy to know that the $64 question of his generation well may be, "Where da we blow from here, boys?" i The plain truth Is that the 'atomic era to date has been nothing but an affront to the dig nity of man. It hai been a goose pimply period ever since the mor tal mushroom shadowed Hiro shima. It has been a time of scare, fear and crisis east and west Have the Russians solved the secret of the atom bomb? Well, there is good reason now to be lieve yes. But what if they have? People weary of fear, and man kind is running out of goose pimples. Lincoln's Example Abraham Lincoln Is reported once to have been challenged to a duel. Given the choice of . . . Cultivate Either Way with ROTOTILLER Among owners results have proved that the Rototiller meth od of cultivation ts the most' effective.

Tracki DON'T MAKE AMOVE (II you see FLEGEL Transfer and Storage Phone 935 weapons, he Immediately sug gested "shotguns . t five paces' His opponent wisely dropped the matter. Today a duel with atom bombs could be as mutually deadly to nations as shotguns at five paces would ie to two Individuals. Atom bombs can be delivered by plane, ship, submarine, or rocket every way except by par cel post. All nations tl at took part in any such merry warfare would suffer, and the casualties would be measured by entire cities rather than platoons. Imagine the communiques: "A joint force of allied bomb era todav attacked and wiped out Minsk, according to plan. Our in- terceptor llgnter engaged an ene my flight over the eastern sea board and shot down 50 planes. Boston is missing." Four years ago I toured stnicken Nagasaki, black scar In the hills. Room by room I explored a shat tered concrete and steel modern hospital in which every patient had been killed. But the dead had been carted away by then, stacked, doused with gasoline and burned. What impressed me most were the windows the glass had melted and run like dribbles of candle wax. There is much wise talk about how to protect yourself in the event of atom warfare. The ex perts agree that dispersal Is fine. But they don't explain how a man who owns a dclicatesen store off Broadway can mcve it to a cow pasture in Wisconsin and still sell enough sandwiches to make his living. I Actually about all the ordinary (Citizen in any country can do about the atom bombs to dislike it and pray that nobody blows a bugle. Federal Funds To Aid Program For School Lunches More than $570,728 In federal funds will be allocated to Oregon under the National school lunch program for 1949-30. The funds are used to reimburse partici pating schools for a part of local purchases of food for school lunches. Besides providing nutri tious lunches for local school chil dren, these purchases enlarge the market for locally produced foods. Federal funds are apportioned according to the number of chil dren of school age and the per capita income of each State. The law requires that Federal funds must be matched equally oy funds from sources within the States, except where the State's per capita income is lower than the U.S. average. For this year's program, Con gress appropriated $83,500,000. of which $t),62o,000 has been appor tioned to the 48 states, the Dis trict of Columbia, and the Terri tories of Hawaii, Puerto Rico. Alaska, and the Virgin Islands. This is $5 and 3-4 million moie than was allocated last year, when appropriations totaled 75 million. The portion not allocat ed la used by the Department of Agriculture for administrative expenses and for the purchase and distribution of foods of spe cial nutritive value to participat ing schools. For 1949 50. $1750.- 000 has been earmarked for such purchases. The program Is administered by the department through state educational agencies. More than 1.1 billion school meals were served last vear to about a fnuitn of the nation's school children. FLOOR SANDING end FINISHING EstimotM Leslie Pfaff 3M Ward St. Pttee t34t-J A. me Gadgets To Check Cows' Difficulties With Heat DAVIS. Callf.-Pt Cows, too, have trouble with the heat. Uni versity of California scientists are studying the problem. Thev have constructed two miniature weather stations to find out how hot it gets in corrals in the Im perial valley. The Idea is to find out how much shade and moisture ran help cattle under extreme heat. Cattle In the valley feed normal ly in the morning during hot weather. But when the sun he gins to get hot they seek shade until driven out to forage by hun ger. Prof. F. A. Brooks of the Col lege of Agriculture Experiment Station says the new weather re cording gadgets weigh less than 100 pounds. They will record air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, soil temperature and rate of evaporation. Soybean Industry Rise In America Spectacular WASHINGTON .P In 40 years soy beans have risen from almost nothing to one of the major U. S. crops, says W. J. Morse of the VS. Department of Agriculture. The department firs' became interested in the crop In 1908. The beans were Imported from China. At first there was little us" made of them in this country. Mostly they were planted when some other crop failed. Then they were used for many years main ly as a forage crop. After 1930, however, soy beans began to have a place in .many crop rotations. Now they are widely used as cash crop. The beans are sold for food and in dustrial uses.
