As a man who is deeply in volved In both worlds, he sees no "conflict" between science and religion. "Even a scientist needs ret icious faith, he said in an interview.

ME 9-2138 JOPEN DAILY 8 to 6 men from ignorance and sup erstition. "But science is a partial view of life ... in many re spects, a narrow view." Cliche Not Accepted Dr. Drydcn does not accept the cliche that religious peo ple live by "faith" whereas scientific people live by "ob jective" knowledge. "The areas of knowledge which one person can explore in detail and experience for himself, even in a lifetime, are very few," he said. "No man could possibly live in the modern world on the knowledge he himself has mastered. He lives by faith in the results of the experi ence of other men, both those now living and those of past generations "His interpretation of the Universe ... of meaning and value ... of moral purpose . . . and his whole philosophy of life are great adventures of faith. In scientific lan guage, they are extrapolations from the information and in sights available to him as one particular individual with sharply limited knowledge of our universe. Leads to Materialism Dr. Dryden said that some people "are led to a purely materialistic view" of the uni verse. "Others, including myself, are persuaded that in the uni verse there are both the ma terial and the spiritual." Either view, he emphasized, Is necessarily held on faith, because neither can be demon strated conclusively by the objective methods of science. Occasionally, some scientist will venture beyond the prop er boundaries of his discipline and attempt to "prove" the materialistic view of the uni verse. Dr. Drydcn said he had read an article recently by a scientist who felt that the ap parent spiritual dimensions of human existence could all be adequately explained in materialistic terms. "He was convinced," said Dr. Dryden, "that the Inner life of man-his consciousness of self, his power of thought, his conscience, his ideals -were the direct result of the physical and chemical activ ity of the brain." He found proof" of this thesis in "the fact that damage to the brain destroyed some or all of the manifestations, and that r'.rugs could excite or pacify an in dividual." Dryden Ponders Argument Dr. Dryden said he found himself thinking about this argument one Sunday morn ing in church "when I should have been listening to the sermon." "It occurred to me that sci entific progress has made us familiar with many realities that are not directly per ceived by our own physical senses. "I recalled that at that very moment there were present within the room - invisible electromagnetic waves from hundreds of radio and tele vision stations carrying voices music and pictures from as many distant places. "Although I could not at the moment hear or see them, I knew that if a rather com plex assemblage of copper, glass, aluminum and a num ber of other scarce materials whose very names are un known to most of us were brought into the room and properly adjusted, any one of these programs could be se lected and heard or seen. "I knew too that if I dam aged the radio or television receiver, the program would disappear. But this certainly would not in any way remove the radio waves from the room; nor would it demon strate that the entire phenom ena were produced by the ap paratus in the room. Presence Felt "Then my thought return ed to my faith that there was also present within that same room, and elsewhere, an ever present spiritual Personality whose voice can also be heard by another, even more com plicated, assembly of mate ria ls-the assembly of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other chemicals which we call a human being. "If a human being's physi cal body is damaged or dis eased, the reception may in deed fail. But that does not affect the reality of the in visible spiritual forces, any more than breaking a receiver proves that there aren't any radio waves in a room." Dorm i to ries Built In Plastic Bags WilKes-Barre, Pa. OIPIl They laughed when he said he was going to erect two col lege dormitories inside plas tic bags. But Joseph D'Andrca, 29 year old character of Dun- more, Pa., has had the last laugh. And saved himself a lot of money in the bargain. Last year D'Andrea bid on his first major job as a gen eral contractor: construction of two three-story dormitor ies for Keystone Junior col lege at LaPlume, Pa He received the award. which specified completion within 375 days, or by July 28, IB63. Cold Interferes Winter started early here last year and by November u Andrea knew he was trouble. He asked for and re ceived an 11-day extension of the contract, but before long ne knew that he wasn t going to be able to make delivery by Aug. 8, 1963. It was sim ply too cold to work. D'Andrea wasn't very happy at the prospect of los ing all his profit-and more on the $400,000 contract. D'Andrea and his job su perintendent, William Thorn ton, studied the situation. D'Andrea remembered he had used plastic (polyethyl ene) in curing of cement and had seen it used to enclose portions of buildings. . He and Thornton decided to make a huge polyethylene bag and erect the dormito ries inside them. Erected Scaffolding They put up all the scaf fold they would need and ex tended it six feet higher than the three- story buildings. They roofed it over with tem- Aren't there people, with quite healthy bodies, who seem unable to "receive" the spiritual dimension of life? "I'm not sure about that. I'm inrlinpH fn fppl that anv. one who has not cultivated his spiritual capacities is just as deformed as if he had lost an arm or a leg." Elec. Jackhammers For RENT At A to Z Rental 1213 N. Riverside 779-1474 porary trusses and then draped the whole thing with six-mil polyethylene about 150,000 square feet of it. The tent cost him $6,000, most of it for labor. But with the addition of a few space heaters, D'Andrea was able to maintain a tem perature of 40 to 50 degrees inside while outside tempera ture ranged as low as 15 de grees below zero. From that point on 'D'An drea lost no time except for a couple of days when they couldn't pour concrete be cause water froze in the tanks of the transit cement mixers. Ahead of Schedule D'Andrea turned over the two dormitories to Keystone Junior college six weeks ahead of schedule. Other contractors laughed at the -whole plan, saying it would all blow away in the first breeze. But, D'Andrea said, his tents withstood 40 mile an hour winds and only a small amount was lost during one 60 mile an hour blow. Household Gloves Now More in Use .... New York-OJPD-One out of five American women use household gloves, compared with one out of nin . in 1958, according to a survey. Cloves are being used more extensively around the home for not only such chores as dishwashing and gardening but also for light tasks that require nimble fingers hair tinting or permanent waving, silver and shoe polishing or even squeezing the morning orange juice. STEEL CROSSTIES Johnstown, Pa. - IUPD - Steel rails will ride on steel cross ties in a new railway in Pakistan. D'Andrea said he will use the plastic tents whenever j needed in the future. They will allow him to give his em ployees work 12 months in ( the year, he said, and keep his profits coming in all year 'round, as well as in creasing efficiency by an estimated 20 to 30 per cent. The dormitories will each house 50 students at the Bap tist school, which has -an en rollment of 340 students. PRICES ARE DOWN AT WIDE-TRACK TOWN No gimmicks, no birthdays, no ballyhoo !
