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.
Sincerely,
Victor Siaaon Jr.

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.
