Br FRANK JENKINS
In Geneva which so recently
vas the site of the epochal meet
ing of the heads of state of the
U.S.A.. Britain. France and Rus
sia another conference has just
opened. It is the United Nations
conference on peaceful uses of
atomic energy.
At its opening session, it lis
tened to a message of greeting
from President Eisenhower. In
his message, our President called
atomic science the newest and
MOST PROMISING TOOL OF ALL
lor the betterment of human life.
Those are strong words.
But they are undoubtedly true.
11 we (meaning by that ALL
the people on earth I have the
common, ordinary horse sense to
make of atomic science the SER
VANT OF MAN instead of the
DESTROYER OF MAN there is
practically no limit to what atomic
science can do in the. way of
betterment of human life on this
globe.
Naturally enough. I suppose, we
think of atomic science in terms
of power to run machines. That
is tremendously important. Ma
chines do the drudsery that for
merly had to be done by aching
human backs and human arms.
With the DRUDGERY done by
machines, human minds will have
the time in which to create new
things for the betterment of man
kiraj. Atomic science opens up vast
new frontiers along that line.
Let's consider for a moment
such a simple thing as healing
our homes.
Suppose you could drop into a
Jigger In your basement if you're
old-fashioned, or your utility room
if you're more modern) a lump
of uranium about the .size of a
peanut and go on getling heat
from it for years.
That, would be wonderful.
Well, it's strictly within the
limits of probability.
At a NOT TOO DISTANT TIME.
Speaking of heat, at the instant
when it explodes (splits) the ura
nium 235 atom has a temperature
of TWO HUNDRED TRILLION
DEGREES CENTIGRADE.
That's a lot of heat.
All we need to do Is to learn
to control It dependably.
That we can do If mankind can
learn the trick of living at peace
Instead of GOING TO war.
So
You see
Ike isn't talking through his hat
when he says atomic science is
the newest and most promising
lool of all for the betterment of
uman liie.
Speaking of power
And coining closer home
The bureau of reclamation and
Copco have agreed on a draft of
a contract for the further develop
ment of power from the surplus
vater of the Upper Klamath Basin
after it runs over the shelf at
Keno.
This draft o( a new contract is
the first siep toward full develop
ment of the power potential ol
the Klamath river - the No. 2
power stream of the American
Pacific coast. Five iurthcr steps
remain belorc the multi-million-dollar
development of the Klam
ath's power can becm. They are:
1. The contract must be sicned.
2. It must be sanctioned by the
federal power commission.
3. It must be sanctioned by the
Oregon hvdro-elfctnc commission.
4. It must be s.inrtinned bv the
Oregon public utilities commis
sioner. 5 It iml-t tie .uu wed by the
California public un.iar, uimmi--sioii.
It and vhrn tnc.-e .-up- ate all
t;-ken. a new na ul ar ciopni' -in
rud progics.- in the Kianiath Ba
Ml will be bcgimiuis.
. And
The water of the Klamath river
will have been committed to COM
PLETE BENEFICIAL US3. If we
can get the water of our great
river committed to complete bene
ficial u-e. we need no longer
tear that somebody wiil atcal it
from us.
