Akron Grondmof her Strikes It Rich With
Second Best Uranium Find on Continent
Akron, Ohio U.PJ A casual
vacation friendship started 20
years ago blossomed Saturday
into a business partnership that
tfould be worth millions.
Mrs. John J. Madigan, a 48
year old grandmother who liked
the Canadian "bush" country be
cause it was "so peaceful and
quiet," learned last week she is
partner in a uranium discovery
rated 'one of the richest in
North America."
"It was all just by accident,"
the bewildered Mrs. Madison
aid. "But don't think it isn't a
lot of fun."
She and her husband, a truck
ing firm executive, started spend
ing summer vacations at Sharbot
Lake, Ont., 20 years ago. There
they met and became friends
with two local residents, Dr. C.
J. Wbytock and Harvey Adams.
"Last summer they told us
they had been looking for ura
nium," Mrs. Madigan said, "but
neither my husband nor I
thought much about it."
Four, weeks ago, she received
a telephone call from Dr. Why
tock. He reported possible dis-
Chicano Destruction
Would Be Harmful
Champaign, 111. (U.R) A
University of Illinois professor
says destruction of Chicago
would be much more harmful
to the nation than the loss of
New York, Washington or Los
Anseles.
Prof. John H. Garland predicts
In a new book "The North Am
erican Midwest," to be publish
ed early next fall (by John Wiley
and Sons) that Chicago may be
come the largest city in the Un
ited States.
' Garland declared that the Mid
west may be an area on which
- the free world's fate one day will
depend because of its location,
natural resources and culture.
He called Chicago the hub of
an area that has become the
world's crossroads, and likened
its position to that of Great Brit
a in when she was queen of the
seas. ' Development of the St.
Lawrence Seaway will enhance
the situation, Garland said.
Garland expects New York
City and Los Angeles will con
tinue to grow, but not at the rate
Chicago will expand.
Over-Eager Forces
Mav Brina Disease
Los Angeles (U.R) A sug
gestion that over-eager defense
forces in the body may actually
help bring on such disease as
rheumatic fever, arthritis and
defective kidneys has been made
by Dr. Harrison Latt. The assoc
iate professor of pathology at
I University of California s medi
""cal center here, who is making
a study of antibodies for the U.S.
Public Health Service, said that
sometimes the defense forces
pursue disease-carrying elements
so vigorously that they may dam
age healthy cells.
The doctor explained that the
, damage may be in the form of
changing the permeability of cell
walls, thus upsetting the cell's
osmotic pressure. This apparent
ly causes a sudden change in
cellular components and in cell
function, he said.
"Such a reaction would result
In damaged tissue and may ex
plain many maladies," Latt add
ed.

the couple to buy a geiger coun
ter and come immediately.
They All Laughed
"My husband couldn't go be
cause of his work," she said, "so
I tried to interest some friends.
They all laughed when I said I
was prospecting for uranium."
Two friends, Mrs. Betty Cliff
and . Mrs. Wileman, finally
agreed to accompany her. She
and Mrs. Wileman belong to the
same women's club. Mrs. Cliff
is a son's neighbor.
Mrs. Madigan bought a "Lucky
Strike" geiger counter for $99.50
from an Akron variety store,
packed her bags, and drove non
stop to Sharbot Lake.
"The counter clicked away
like mad when we went over the
area," she said. "The doctor took
some specimens into Ottawa and
Toronto while the rest of us
staked out the claims."
The five of them hired a sur
veyor to cover some 800 acres.
They filed about 40 claims, in
their own names and those of
relatives.
The report from assavers
showed 15 per cent uranium con
tent. Then came a message last
week from the Atomic Energy
Commission that the field could
be one of the richest on the con
tinent. The ore might be worth
$1,500 a ton.
Do It Yourself Mining
We re trying to interest some
American mining firms in the
claims," she said. "In this coun

A short plane flight from
Paris or London is a beautiful
island, with a pleasantly mild
climate, an unbelievably low
cost of living and where the tax

is the channel island of Alder

key costs 15 cents in Aiderney.
Tobacco and cigarettes are one
third the price they are in Lon
don. Food is plentiful and cheap.
The automobile tax is the equiva
lent of $1 a year. The highest
residential tax is about $3 an
nually. The income tax is ex
tremely low. What business could
a man engage in there? Well, sir,
he could raise cattle. Aiderney
is world famous for its breed of
cattle. And don't forget it is less
than, an hour's flight from the
Aiderney airport to either Paris
or London.

are quite right, sir. Arena of the
Rome Colosseum is 280 feet long
and 174 feet wide. For a game
of American football a field 360
feet in length is required.

Mrs. Madison said she prob

company, as would her friends.
"We don't know a darned
thing about mining," she said,
"Besides, it would cost too much
money.' We'd just like to get
what we can and get out."
She laughed as she thought of
her skeptical friends the day
she tried to get volunteers to ac

is Sir Archibald Mclndoe. He has
occasionally used his skill to

Geologists Gather
Desert War Data
Mohave Desert, Calif. (U.R)
A team of geologists has work
ed on top of blistering mountains
and on the sweltering floor of
this desolate Southern Californ
ia desert to gather new informa
tion in case American troops
ever have to fight in another
desert war.
Headed by Dr. John F. Gaines
and Dr. Richard F. Logan of
the University of California in
Los Angeles, the scientists ex
perimented with living condi
tions in the Primitive Provi
dence Mountains for the Army's
quartermaster corps.
The team set up 14 weather
stations at various elevations and
made field trips to learn every
thing possible about the climate,
vegetation, and topography of a
typical mountain range.
They reported the psychologi
cal and physical strain of with
standing winds up .to 60 miles
an hour wore nerves raw and
stretched tempers thin.
Some surprises received by the
researchers included the discov
ery that desert mountain sum
mits are warmer on winter
nights than the desert floor.
Summertime humidity is consid
erably higher than in winter, and
dark-colored basaltic rock is 30
degrees hotter on a summer day
than is light-hued granite.

Popularity Growth
East Lansing, Mich. (U.R)
Pickles have experienced a tre

in the past 25 years, according

Dr. F. W. Fabian, retired MSC
scientist, traced the development
of the pickle's popularity at the
meeting. He pointed to the rise
in the consumption of p ckles
from a few million bushels in
1930 to 12,000,000 in 1S52 and
predicted that the 1952 figures
will be more than doub'ed in
the next 10 years.
