The Han ford Story- (The following is the third of a series' of seven articles disclos ing the highlights and sidelights i which have accompanied the na ! lion's development of atomic I energy. Prepared at the Hanford j atomic energy plant, the series , deals with the human things ! which followed in ths wake of ! the first historic announcement ; that man has harnessed the atom. It touches upon the things which lie ahead.) By Bill Jury General Electric News Bureau' Kanford Atomic Plant Atomic energy and its deve lopment has been pictured as a vast and mysterious operation, imagined run by groups of bushy haired little men who carry pocketfuls of gamma rays and drag behing them long chain re actions. But Misconceptions of this new phase of development in Ameri ca's industrial and scientific his tory rapidly is being dispelled as official facts and information are reported to help shed light into the shadows of the unknown. Atomic energy was developed in time of war, and as long as we live in a world of war and under threats of war, secrecy must guard those phases that are important to the security of the nation. But much of the atomic story can be reported to the pub lic, and much of It is being told today through congressional and Atomic Efiergy Commission rep resentatives. Researchers at the General Electric Company-operated Han ford atomic energy plant foresee the day when workmen will han dle radiation problems as routine. They predict farmers will utilize atomic Isotopes in their crop planning, just as they now em ploy types of fertilizer, and terms like "fission," "reactor," and "neutrons" will become house hold words. Industrial nuclear power points toward the use of atomic energy in much the same way that ener gy from the burning of coal is utilized in an electric power plant.

The practical means of direct conversion of atomic energy to electricity so far has escaped achievement, although if the promise of the new atomic bat tery is fulfilled on a large scale, the power plant of tomorrow will need only an atomic generator and direct cables to connect power straight to far-flung communi ties. Boilers, engines and cum bersome electric generators con ceivably could become as obso lete as the candle. Atomic isotopes, for example, can effect our everyday lives in almost every field of endeavor. They play a major role in diagno sis and treatment for health. They can be employed to separate ions in the water treatment, metal re covery, antibiotics, and numerous other phases of industry. Transportation systems could be revolutionized. The first atomic-powered submarine already has been tested satisfactorily. Atomic-powered ocean liners are seen as a definite possibility for the future. Scientists now are working to find the key to atomic-propelled aircraft Atomic energy is so new, so big, so revolutionary and so full of commercial possibilities for the future that many American cor porations have been attracted to the field. These companies are I engaged in engineering studies, spending their own money in at tempts to produce answers to the foremost question of economical nuclear power. Nuclear physics is an infant science; the things tnat are known are as nothing compared to the things unknown. Locked up in the atom is practically all the energy of the universe, an energy in such fantastic quan- Wranglers List Winners of Events At Sunday Show .

(Next Week: "Amazing Tools of the Trade") New Producers Tags Soon to Be Required For Carcass Shipping New produce tags for the move ment of carcasses of cattle, calves, sheep and hogs will be available in this county after August 3 from Harold B. Johnston and Edgar G. Alberts, both of Heppner. This word comes from the state department of agriculture at Salem, which also says producers may get the free tags from the brand inspectors at livestock sales yards. Under 1955 amendments to the gasoline cowboy act which always has required producers to tag carcasses moved from the pre mises where slaughtered only one tag will be necessary. Tags to move poultry and rabbit carcas ses will not be needed after Aug ust 3. The legislature also put dis tribution of these tags in the hands of the department's brand inspectors and others designated by the department. "We hope," says M. E. Knickerbocker, animal division chief, "to maintain the same high level of identification reached by the sheriffs of Oregon in the many years they have handled these tags. In a few counties, producers will still be able to obtain tags through the sheriff's office." In readiness for the switch-over the department has distributed tn entirely new type of producer tag. After August 3 the old tags will 'not be recognized by the state. o Mr. and Mrs. Carl Spauldmg spent the weekend in Portland.

And like you, we must divide every dollar of this income into quite a few pieces to keep the bills paid. Our budgeting is naturally on a large scale, but the result is about the same: most of the money Standard takes in goes right back into circulation. And when a sum like $1,229,000,000 (our total in come last year) goes into circulation, its benefits are broad and deep. Practically everyone in the West shared, directly or indirectly, in Standard's good year. We thank you for your patronage that made it possible. And we'd like you to know that a sizable piece of change from each of our dollars goes for things that improve service to you: research facilities for development of better products at low cost; new plants to make them more available; widespread ex ploration for new petroleum fields to help keep America's oil barrel full. To do these jobs, now and for the future, here's how we changed a Standard dollar: w from every dollar went for wages, services and goods. Of this $471,500,000 the largest item was for payroll, vacations, sickness pay ments, other employee benefits. Most of the rest went to buy supplies, frofh paper clips to steel, bought locally when possible. Standard was a cus tomer of thousands of Western firms.
