TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 6. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THREE Delegates To World Scout Meeting Make Many Friends it.cmor aoie: Tne following is rest Of me scouts In our camp. another in (he series of letters from Victor Sisson Jr., who was this" area's representative at the just-concluded Eighth World Jam boree of the Boy Scouts held at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Can ada.) Dear Sir: Here Is some more Information on the Jamboree. I am having a wonderful time here and I have made new friends with fellow scouts from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I have talked to other boys and made friends with them but not quite as good friends. I have lost my little black book with all of my notes and names and addresses of the people and boys I have met, so I will try to write this letter by memory. On Monday, August 22. the whole sub-camp Atlantic went to Niagara Falls. There were about 10 bus loads of boys, and each bus hauled about 40 boys. On our way to the falls we stopped at General Brock's Monument for about 15 minutes. The monument and the surrounding grounds are pretty and quite interesting. From General Brock's Monument we went on to the falls. At the falls we were very much impressed by the size and beauty of it and the way the spray was thrown up into the air. The spray or mist was so thick that If you got into one of the clouds, it was just like a rain storm, but if you went a few feet you could walk right out of it. From the falls we went to Niagara, New York. Here we went through the Niagara Museum where we saw many stuffed animals, Egyptian Mummies, a crown of thorns from the Mount of Olives, many de formed animals, among which was a cow with five legs. Indian relics, birds, old gems and pistols, poi soned arraws, shields, prehistoric animal skeletons, paintings of some of the wars, ore samples, and many other Interesting exhibits. We then crossed back Into Canada on the rainbow bridge which sepa rates the United States and Canada out over the middle of the Niaga ra River. I went into the town of Niagara Falls and bought souven irs until it got dark enough for the lights to shine on the anils. When they came on they were very Impressive . with the lights changing all the time on the falls. The American Falls was very beautiful too, with a spray of wa ter constantly flying Into the air. AM day Tuesday we were free to trade souvenirs with the foreign scouts or do Just about anything we wanted to. On Wednesday, we had most of the day free except when we practiced the American show that was in the arena that night. This was pretty good with all of the American contingent taking part- Then Thursday was one of the big days at camp. This was the day that we had our brunch and our big potlatch. At the brunch we had all of the big scouts from all over the world. We had men from every country represented nt the Jam boree. We saw and talked to Lady Baden Powell and Dr. Shuck. We also saw and greeted many of the Then Thursday afternoon we bad our potlatch at 2 o'clock. A pot latch is an Indian get-together where there is much feasting, dancing, and gift-giving. At our potlatch each of the boys In the troop was given two or three invitations, he in turn would extend the Invitation to for eign scouts. All of them were seat ed in a rectangle on gunny sacks. At the start of the potlatch the words of welcome and explanation of the potlatch was given by Tom Dobson, an assistant scoutmaster of Troop 37. Then Dr. Shuck presented the Eagle Scout badge to Charles Palenthorp a boy in Troop 37. Then Dall Clarke, the only boy from Alaska, presented a letter from the governor of Alaska to Dr. Shuck. After that there were Indian dances, games, and salmon that we cooked over the coals of fire. On this fire we cooked them three at a time and we had about 100 pounds of salmon and about 260 people and scouts eating it. After the salmon was finished we gave gifts to the scouts from all the foreign countries which closed the potlatch. That evening Brian McNeal, the boy from Prineville, and I met two fellows from New Zealand and we had a long and interesting talk. On Friday we got up at 4: is a.m. to go to the Canadian Ex position in Toronto from the Jam boree we rode to St. Catherines on the bus then from St. Catherines to Toronto we rode on the train. When we got to Toronto all 9.500 of us marched in the ODening pa rade for the Canadian Exposition, almost every boy at the Jamboree was at the exposition except the sick. At the exposition we saw many of the exhibits such as Can ada's Hall of Fame, the Automotive Building in which we all saw dif ferent kinds of American and Ca nadian automobiles, the Food Pro ducts Building, the General Exhib its Building, the Electronics Build ing, and a few others, all of these buildings are very interesting and you could spend two or three days and still not see all of the exhibits. We also saw the Shell Oil Tower, It Is a 10-story glass structure. At 11:40 at night we left Toronto and we got back In our campsite at 2:30 In the morning just as it started an all-night downpour. On Saturday morning the scout master and the senior patrol leaders got up and cooked the breakfast for the two troops. It seems as If the camp is pretty dead after the late hours. The two boys from the British West Indies who were eating with us left for home this morning and they will be home Tuesday.

Photo by Kettler Scientist Sees Possible Water's Use As Super-Fuel BOSTON (UP) Water even tually may furnish a man with a super-fuel "better than any ot those of which men bave dreamed," a distinguished atomic scientist said today. George Russall Harrison, dean of the school of science at Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, said this might occur "11 the speed, instead of merely the ex tent, of a thermonuclear reaction can ever be controlled." Harrison, author ot "Atoms in Action," discussed this possibility in an article titled "The Control of Energy" in the September At lantic Monthly. Assorting that one pound of ura nium carries more releasable en ergy than 1500 tons of coal, and that tile solar energy that reaches tne earth each day equals that re leased by two million Hiroshima A-bombs, he said better control of these and other forms of energy is basic to man's progress. "Inventors who have tried to de velop pills that would make water burn were on the wrong track, for water is already ashes of hydro gen," said Harrison. "When hydrogen is burned with oxygen their molecules combine to produce water, and release much chemical energy In Uie flame. The water remains after the energy Is dissipated, and the new energy must be used to 'un burn' the water as plants do in urotosynthesis . . ." But, he said, If protons are col lected from the hydrogen in wa ter and then assembled with neu trons to produce helium nuclei, a vastly greater release of energy results energy from nearer the base ot the universal supply, "At present no one appears to know how to control this reaction beyond setting it off with an atom ic bomb as a primer, thus raising nuclear temperatures to those needed to start a fusion reaction.

Highway accidents took the lives of 49, Eleven were drowned and 12 died Horn various other causes.
