Scientist Feels Atoms for
Industrial Use Far Distant
Dr. Gerald Wendt, cientist and chemist and widely known
for hi work in research, sees no general industrial use of the
atom for power with which to drive machinery within the near
future, but he admitted that the navy wants it "fast" and may have
it within the next few years. Statements to this effect were made
during ni lecture inursaay
night before the Salem Knife
and Fork club.
Speaking the language of the
layman, ur. wenai said ne nad
absolutely no fear of an atom
bomb attack from Russia al
though many people "are scar
ed to death" of the possibilities
of the atom as a weapon of
death. He said he did not know
or care whether Russia had the
bomb since any country would
be foolhardy to launch a war
against this country without be
ing in possession of unlimited
numbers of the powerful mis
siles.
Dr. Wendt stated that until
"we learn how to explode the
atom without controlling the
deadly rays," there is little hope
for common use. It's utiliza-'
tion as driving force for battle
ships and submarines, or power
plants may not be far distant
since the shielding of the atom
with five feet of steel does not
constitute such a problem.
The scientist is far ahead of
the general public and Dr.
Wendt said he could not see that
the gap was being materially
narrowed. The country is spend
ing more and more in the devel
opment of scientific matters,
said Dr. Wendt. He backed this
up by pointing out that the en
tire U.S. invested $116,000,000
in research in 1030 as against
$1,100,000 last year.
Turning from the atom to
other scientific matters, Dr.
Wendt expressed the opinion
that there "are no miracle
drugs" but that life expectancy
had so Increased during the past
decades that the problem of tak
ing care of the aged will soon
be one of considerable importance.

Why (rasi?vflniii)
Cooperation of Entire Pacific Northwest Needed To Solve
Problem of Electric Power Shortage During Winter Season
Power demands of the Pacific Northwest have grown
to the point where it is necessary to ask all users of
electricity to cooperate in conservation measures.
Already this winter, power demands are equalling
the full capacity of the region's pooled electric gen
erating resources.
From now on, throughout this winter season, con
servation of electricity by all users will be necessary
during the daily peak hours of 4:30 to 6:30 p. m.
ALL electric utilities or the entire Pacific North
west are actively working together to help meet the
common problem pooling their output of power and
coordinating the operation of their systems.
But they can't do the whole job alone! Your co
operation and help are needed, to make the available
kilowatts go around!
No area no home nor business nor industry In
the whole Pacific Northwest is immune to the short
age. The entire area has experienced a phenomenal
growth in new homes, new industries, and expanded
business. Shortages of materials caused by the war
have made it impossible to keep pace with the grow
ing demand for more and more electric service.
TO KEEP JOBS GOING -KEEP PROSPERITY GROWING
Make Every Kilowatt Count!
