Ronald Phslr, LDS Church presi dent here and a member ol last night's live-man panel, appeared to sum up panel feeling on Uie point when he said: "Christianity Is a way of life . . . Uie easiest way to associate with our fellow man. I know many suc cessful business men who are good church workers and many men who are embarrassed to speak of religion . . . Christianity works seven days u week, not Just on Uie Sabbath." JUVENILES The panel readily recognized the Basin's Juvenile problem but did not reach definite accord on Uie church's role in tackling the prob lem. Some felt the church should offer more youth activities while others opined the church should en courage more time at home rath er than new attractions away irom home. All panel participants agreed that church members should take an active interest in civic affairs, Including elections. They concluded that churches could go far enough to explain election issues to mem bers but should stop short of cham pioning specific candidates or causes.

I -One of Uie most spectacular atom- ic bombs ever detonated jolted observers 10 miles distant and gave 1,500 troops an experience they will never forget. It probably was the largest bomb ever dropped on continental Unit ed States soil. The smoke blotted out the troops who were within four miles of ground zero. The mushroom went through the hues of the rainbow. The bomb burst 47 seconds after release from an Air Force plane flying at 30,000 feet in a typical high level drop.

The bomb itself was show enough for anyone. Thirteen minutes later the main cloud was drifting toward observ ers and still retained rust and yel low shades, although predominant ly white. The base dust column was iwisv ed across the sky, blotting out the peaks 20 miles away. TRAILERS It was a mile across. Instru mentation planes droned overhead. tracking radiation.
