anger of Losing Creative
Zest Seen Threat To America
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
Washington IW Dr. Detlev
W. Bronk, president of the
National Academy of Sci
ences, is too polite to accuse
anyone of laziness.
He went to great lengths to
find synonyms for that ugiy
word when he answered the
question which the United
Press asked of six prominent
Americans:
"What troubles you most as
you look at America today?"
"I think," said Bronk, "that
we are in danger of losing the
zest for creating new things,
for opening new frontiers,
that has been our greatest na
tional asset since the pioneer
days."
"We are putting too high a
premium on comfort and too
low a premium on creativity.
We need to rediscover the fun
and satisfaction of working
hard."
Leads Busy Schedule
Bronk is a small, intensely
energetic man who has won
distinction both as a scientist
and as an educator. He for
merly was president of Johns
Hopkins University. Today, in
addition to heading the Na
tional Academy, of Sciences,
he serves as director of the
Rockefeller Institute, chair
man of the board of the Na
tional Science Foundation,
and a- number of President
Eisenhower's top-level Science
Advisory Committee. All
these responsibilities keep him
on the run seven days a week,
but he thrives on it.
Bronk shudders v is i b 1 y
when you mention that U.S.
industry may be headed for a
four-day work week. He feels
that no nation, locked in a
cold war for survival, can af
ford such a prodigal waste of
manpower.
"But I don't blame factory
workers for seeking shorter
hours at jobs that are dull and
monotonous," he quickly add
ed. "I realize that the fellow
who is tightening bolts on an
assembly line doesn't get the
same sort of satisfaction out
of his work that a scientist
does.
"One of the big challenges
facing our society is to find
ways to restore a sense of per
sonal craftsmanship and crea
tivity to industrial jobs."
In past generations, Bronk
said. The "Lash of economic
necessity" kept America's
creative spirit alive. But
Americans today are tempted
"to think that we've got it
made, that we can all sit down
and live off the fat of our past
scientific, economic and cul
tural achievements."
Will fear of Russia's scien
tific progress serve as a sub
stitute 'lash" for renewed
American effort?
Fear No Motive
"I would be greatly dis
turbed about the future of our
country if we had no motive
for hard work except fear,'
he said.
'Fear is not an adequate
stimulus for a great country.
A wholesome awareness of the
danger we are in can be a use
ful spur. But I've learned
from my hobby mountain-
climbing that fear is much
more likely to paralyze a man
than to keep him moving upward."
How great is our danger?
Are we falling behind the
Russians in scientific develop
ment and weapons tech
nology?
"There's no pat answer to
that. They are more compe
tent than we are in some areas
of science, and we are ahead
of them in others. It would be
juvenile to assume that we
would always make every im
portant scientific discovery
first.
"Whatever our relative
strengths at the moment, it is
clear that they have been de
veloping their military poten
tial at a faster rate than we
have, and as long as that is
true, we certainly have no
grounds for complacency."

High waters on West Evans

Thursday resulted in the com
plete loss of a house and prop
erty owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Homer Phillips of Cave Junc
tion. The flood washed away al
most all ground beneath the

A double garage ended up
half way in the river and sev

gation district, stated this

'. Announcement of the hear

be printed for another four
weeks. If voting is favorable,
then an irrigation district

the architect. The new build
ing will be constructed at
First and Fir sts. in Medford.
Estimated completion date is
June 1, Richter said Friday.
Cost is estimated at $40,000.
Present location of the com
pany is 310 South Front st.
Glass, Brick and Concrete
Richter said the building
will be of glass, brick and
concrete construction and will
have 5,000 square feet of
space. It will be 50 feet wide
and 100 feet deep and have
one story 12 feet high, the
general contractor said.
The new building will con
tain private offices, display,
stock and warehouse areas. A
unique feature is the front en
trance on the side, Richter
said. The rear end opens ud
for unloading. An employees'
kitchen is included in the
plans.
The building will be heated
by forced air gas heat and
cooling system is coupled with
that, the contractor said. .
Dean Edwards, manager
and part-owner, said the new
building will provide 2 to 2V
times the amount, of floor
space the company now has.
Outside warehousing is now
being used, he said.
Expansion Necessary
The expansion is necessary
to meet the increase in busi
ness, Edwards said. He said
his line of business is "defi
nitely on the upswing." In
keeping with the national
trend an increase of 10 to 20
per cent a year for the next
five to 10 years is predicted,
Edwards said. Growth of tele
vision and the industrial mar
ket are contributing factors to
the business increase.
The industrial market, par
ticularly in the use of elec
tronic equipment, is increas
ing. A number of local lumber
companies are using elec
tronic controls in their opera
tions, he explained.
The five-year-old company
is a wholesale type organiza
tion serving industrial and
dealer accounts, Edwards said.
Stroniium-90 Said In Children's Bones
New York (IP) The
rate of increase of strontium
90 in the bones of children is
increasing at a surprising
rate, three scientists said yes
terday. Strontium-90 is released
into the air by nuclear ex
plosions and eventually gets
into the soil and plants. Hu
mans absorb it primarily from
eating vegetables and milk
products.
The major hazard of strontium-90
is cancer of the bone.
The body normally elimi
nates most of the strontium in
gested, but a certain portion
Tleposits itself in the skeleton.
Some experimental work hai
been done in seeking an agent
that would cause the body to
eliminate a higher percentage
of the isotope. Scientists said
Thursday it has not as yet
been very successful and one
said he had little expectation
that it would be.
