Upper Applegate Grange ' An interesting resume of the history of atomic energy, with a glimpse of a few of the benefits it can afford, were outlined by H. P. Bosworth Jr., Medford, at a meeting in Upper Applegate Grange hall March 27.' Nothing in the previous his tory of man has had such phenomenal growth in such a brief period of time as has atomic energy, the speaker as serted, .offering as evidence the fact'that in 1939 the U. S. government appropriated a total of $6,000 for atomic energy development, while in 1958, only 19 years later, ap propriations for this purpose totalled S2 billion, $300 mil lion, with physical property held by the Atomic Energy commission valued at $8 billion.

LIABILI TY FARMERS INSURANCE GROUP In the last five years, dur ing which private industry has been given access to informa tion in regard to atomic energy, Bosworth has made a special study of its possibil ities as a source of power, in connection with his work as vice president of Copco, he stated. It is his belief that it will be in active competition with coal, gas, oil, and hydro electric power within a period of 12 to 15 years. However, he is convinced it is probable that within an additional 50- year period, atomic energy, in turn, will become obsolete and will be superceded by hydro gen energy derived from sea water. One cubic mile of sea water could supply sufficient hydro gen energy to meet total power needs for the entire world at present levels for 300 years. Hydrogen energy possesses a marked advantage over atomic energy, he stated, in that it is not radio-active, and hence creates no dangerous wastes which must be disposed of. Since our present knowl edge extends only to methods for unleashing hydrogen pow er, the primary problem is to learn how to control it. Even more basic than that, the speaker feels, is the necessity for man to learn to control himself in order that his men tal and spiritual progress may equal what he has achieved scientifically, "lest we inevit ably come a cropper." Commenting on the confer ence now in progress in Ge neva which seeks to ban further testing of nuclear weapons, Bosworth stated that agreement has already been reached on seven articles of the proposed treaty, which, when completed, will be unique in the annals of inter national pacts in that it is to be administered, not by the signatories, but by the United Nations, and that it will be open to any nation desiring to sign it. A film, "Workshop for Peace," portraying the day-to-day work of the United Na tions was a'so presented by the speaker, who stressed that the role of the UN is a dual one, its purpose being not only to keep the peace, but also to work constantly to remove the causes of war. Preceding the discussion and film, Bob Church, of Med ford, representing the U. S. weather bureau, presented pins to Vieva Saltmarsh and Christine Harr denoting 15 years of faithful service as volunteer weather observers, the former in the Little Ap plegate region, and the latter in the area near Copper. - In keeping with the Easter season, a Grange chorus sang "The Old Rugged Cross," and the program concluded with community singing, following which refreshments of sand wiches and coffee were served. Decorations in the hall and dining room combined spring blossoms and Easter motifs and were arranged by Mrs. Kathleen Scovell and rMrs. Anna Scott. Mrs. Marie Bosworth, Oregon's Mother of the Year, was presented dur ing the refreshment hour. She was responsible for the dis play table which featured UN literature and interesting, hand-made items from the United Nations gift shop which she secured during her recent visit to UN headquar ters in New York. In the regular business ses sion of the Grange which fol lowed, Curtis O. and Eva Gearhart of Applegate were elected to membership in the order and plans were made for their initiation. Report of the relief commit tee indicated Mrs. Ethel West is recovering following minor throat surgery; Mrs. Dorothy Post is improving from a se vere illness caused by a heart condition; Mrs. Mary France is convalescing at her home after being in a Medford hos pital where she under went major surgery; Harry Helms is also at home after being hospitalized; and Robert Bay lor is being treated for a spinal condition in Rogue Valley hos pital. Following the report of Legislative Chairman Anna Scott, a motion was passed authorizing the secretary to express to Senator Edwin Durno and Representatives Robert Duncan and Eve Nye the opposition of Upper Ap plegate Grange to Senate Bill 222, the so-called hay bill, which would set up rules and regulations for farmers haul ing hay for their own use; to Senate Bill 470 pertaining to the muzzling of dogs running at large on property of their owners; and to express ap proval of the Grange to House Bill 629. which pertains to the humane slaughtering of animals. A total of $30 for use of the hall for two Centennial events was turned in to the treasurer together with S21.25 from the square dance work shop now completed. Public square dances were announced for the evenings of March 28 and April 11, and for the second Saturday night in each succeeding month thereafter, by Fred West, co-chairman of the ways and means commit tee. A brief report of the Po mona visitation to Phoenix Grange March 24 was given by Secretary Irene Culy, who stated that 18 officers and members attended from Upper Applegate Grange. Chairman of the four units into which the membership was divided last year for the presentation of open house programs will be honored at a 6:30 pot luck dinner pre ceding the next regular meet ing of the Grange April 10, it was announced.
