MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN
By Paul r. EUi
United Press Selene Editor
New York. Mar. 2 U.Rl The
first half of the 20th century has
come and gone and the second
half may bring scientific prog
ress that will make man live to
be 120 or older.
Scientists in making off-the-record
predictions on longer life
point to the rapid rise in the
average life span since the turn
of this century, and particularly
so since the new drugs have
wiped out many diseases that
once were killers.
In Biblical days there were
leprosy, syphilis and arthritis.
Todav. the same diseases are
still here, but leprosy and syphi
lis are being cured now. In the
last year, effective agents or
at least a new approach have
been found in arthritis.
Pneumonia, once a great kill
er, is under control. Tuberculosis
is being brought under control,
and influenza no longer strikes
in lethal form.
The scientists believe that
rheumatic fever, heart disease
and hardening of the arteries
may fall before new develop
ments in the coming 50 years.

Man Will Fly To Moon
It's a good bet some scientists
say that the conventional air
plane of today will become obso
lete in a few years. In fact, they
believe that the transition period
is here now. Most imaginative of
the scientists are the rocket ex
perts, who already-are designing
a rocket ship that could fly to
the moon. If not to the moon, it
could fly at least around the
world in 24 hours or faster.
Even the conservative scien
tists believe that man-s mode of
travel will be revolutionized
long before this centurv ends.
There always will be automo
biles, the scientists say, but not
ine conventional type that run
around today.
Perhaps the 1B80 models will I
tists believe. Trains may be too,
they say, and the railroad busi
ness in general will go through
a revolution in design and opera
tion. Progress Will Be Pushed :
As one scientist recently said:
Look around you. Examine the
modern-day telephone, the ra- i
dio, the television, the kitchen
range, refrigerator, your type-,
writer, your home. Compare the
present day models to those of 1
1900. Note the difference.
Then use your Imagination
and guess what the same items
will be in the year 2000.
In fact, some pi the more imag
inative types, believe that all
such items may be in some mu- i
seuni by the year 2000, and that !
new things entirely undreamed i
of now will take their place. It ;
might be. some scientists believe,
that everyone will be carrying a :
two-way radio set and be able .
to talk to anyone at any place
at any time. Also, he won't have i
to stop for a meal In a restau-;
rant. He can carry around his ;
steaks in tablet form. He won't
have to worry about disease be- i
cause all the bugs will have :
been eliminated.
Sure it's fantastic, but so were
some of the modern day mira
cles when first predicted 50
years ago. 1
Atom Expected To Run Ships
Science has not yet found a
way to harness atomic energy .
for power but In ltiuu science
had not found a way to release !
atomic energy. In fact, Einstein s
theory was not yet born m 1900.
Today, a tew atomic powerea
Dllot plants" are being con
structed or are being designed.
The scientists seem sure that
within 10 to 15 years atomic
nower may be put to use to turn
the wheels in factories. Atomic
power for ocean going ships may
come sooner.
Thcv believe It is unlikely
that there will be atomic fur
naces for homes but the electric
ity used in the home of 1980
may be made from atomic-powered
central heating and power
plants.
uy me year auuu me use oi
coal as a means of heating may
have long passed out. Science is
now findinc that coal or its by
products are important in medi
cine and other items, such as
nylon stockings.
Of course, the predictions on
what progress man may do in
his thinking is anotner story,
but most scientists believe that
man can write his own destiny
in this world, and that it will be
a good destiny.
