Speedy transportation changed that, and by the early 1920s, word of the vast natural riches of the Klamath country circulated in the states beyond Oregon. By the late 1930s, and later still, after World War II, the migration was growing. The forests were dotted with cars and trailers and pup tents, yet (cw saw the op portunity for development of permanent stature. They came and saw and went away. A few years ago, not too many by calendar count, men and worn en decided the possibility of de veloping Upper Klamath Lake for homesites and recreation was worthy of a closer look.

Niebuhr, Professor Emeritus of Applied Christianity at Union Theological Seminary, and his collaborator dis cuss historically the "purifying, corrupting and transmuting" ele ments which have worked the original ethnic and geographic legacy of this country to produce the present-day American. They define the American character In terms of an initial melting-pot of races and religions, a nostalgia lor the frontier and a distrust of th moral codes of an Industrial society. Particularly timely are llyir remarks on America's sense or, mission in world affairs, which tlxy attribute to the political and religious endowment of the Puri tan tradition.

'The Living Story Of Underwater Explorations One of the most fascinating true adventure stories of time, The Living Sea, by Captain Jacques-Yves Couslenu, Is the Book-of-the-Month Club Selection for Miiy. Many readers will remember, Captain Coustcau's now-famous xploration, The Silent World. published a decade ago. In the intervening years, the noted rench diver and his associates -often at the peril of their lives -have ventured deeper and deep er into a vast world which has scarcely yet been glimpsed: an underwater region unknown and even unsuspected by most human beings. The Living Sea Is nil ab sorbing narrative account and a fascinating photographic rec ord as well of the discoveries Cousteau and his daring explor crs have made. Using an occanngraphic ship. the Calypso, as a mobile base Cousteau and his diving teams excavated an ancient Greek ves sel hurled in silt some ten miles from Marseilles and 135 feet be neath the surface of the Medi terrancan.

From Sardinia to Greece, using an ingeniously designed underwa ter camera, they surveyed the mysterious "deep scattering lay ers" (DSL that occur every where in the ocean to plague and confound modern mariners and distort sonar responses, A study of the thousands of photo graphs taken by this camera re vealed that the DSL are com posed largely of dense marine life crustaceans, arrow worms and such which like a watery fog rise at night and fall again with the coming of day. Further exploration of the DSL led to the invention by the Cousteau group of a Dcepsea Camera Sled, which travels miles below the ocean's surface photographing weird and wonder.jl creatures never before seen bv man. In the Indian Ocean the Calvpso encountered a veritable dolphin army. "A nation of dolphins had gone mad before our eves.

Exploring the undcrseas won ders of Assumption Ueef, in the Aldabrns, north of Madagascar Cousteau and his crew were aduptcd by a huge fish, a grouper they named Ulysses. "Ulysses became our insepar- able friend. He followed us ev erywhere, sometimes nibbling our fins. After deep dives when we decompressed thirty feet down on a weighed and measured cable. the boredom was enlivened by Ulysses' horsing around with us until we went to the ladder. Af terward he would hang around just under the surface, sitting on his tail, like a boy sadly watching his playmates being called in to supper. Ulysses quick ly got on to our diving schedule and would be found early in the morning waiting under the lad der for the day's first sortie. He would go hounding down with us lor a round of clumsy mischief and meals from the canvas hag." Perhaps the most dramatic chapter of The Living Sea is one in which Cousteau dcscrilies amazing experiment that of two men who agreed to live and work underwater continuously for a week.

Phont TU 4-7041 First Rocket I Reached Half Mile Altitude! ! HOSWELL. X. M. 'IP1 - The! intricate count-down in launching modern missiles was unheard oi on .New Year's Eve of 1930 when Dr. Robert H. Goddard fired a missile in his first success. It went up less than h a 1 f a mile but helped earn (or the sci entist recognition as Ihe father of modern rocketry. Charles YV. Mansur, now an aerospace engineer for the L". S. Army at White Sands Missile Range, X. M , w a s an assistant to Goddard. "There was no such thing as a count-down in those days." Man sur said. "When we were ready to fire, we fired!" During firings, there was an I observation point about 50 feet from Ihe launching where they really got a "close" look at the launching behind a cellar door dugout, Mansur said. Perfected Rackets For two years. Goddard and four assistants developed, and perfected r o c k e ts at Roswcll. They worked in a shop 35 by 50 feet located ab o u t lour miles north of the city. Their 60-foot launching tower was put up seven miles away at Eden Valley. "We were really enthusiastic and the fact that we bad to start from scratch even to helping build our own machine shop did not dampen our spirits a bit." Mansur said in an interview in his modern laboratory at White Sands. Mansur first met Goddard, who died in 1945, at Worcester, Mass. In the early 1920s Mansur attend ed a grammar school there, across the street from Clark Uni versity, where Goddard was head of the Sciences Department. While in high school, Mansur worked as a laboratory assistant at the university under Goddard. "We tried to launch rockets in Massachusetts but the public pro tested," Mansur recalled. But the publicity aroused the attention of Col. Charles E. Lind- berg, who became interested in Goddard's work. Lindberg. a na tional hero for his solo flight over the Atlantic Ocean, helped obtain money for Goddard's work from the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation. Given Leave Clark University gave Goddard a sabattical leave and loaned machine tools and other equip ment to his research. God dard selected lioswell as the ideal location for intensified con tinuation of his work because of the climate and isolation. The experiments at Roswell lasted about two years. At the depth of the depression, funds ran out and Goddard returned to teaching in Worcester, able to de vote only spare hours to his rockets. Mansur continued to work part time in the laboratories at Clark. In 1934 Goddard called Mansur to offer a full-time job with more experiments in New Mexico. This time three of the original crew returned to Roswell. In 1940. the U.S. Army asked Goddard s help in research on methods of getting heavily loaded aircraft airborne. Two years later, the U. S. Navy awarded a contract for research at Annapo lis, Md., to Goddard and his men. After Goddard's death, Mansur continued his work in helping the Curtiss-Wright Corp. set up a missile program. He worked for that firm for seven years before coming to White Sands as a lab oratory mechanic in the Propul sion Branch. Mansur, reflecting on Ihe prog ress of rocketry during h i s ca reer, said "it is unbelievable that the Federal Aviation Agency has had to "i s s u e regulations about rockets fired by amateur rocket clubs as their rockets may shoot down aircraft." "Some can reach altitudes of five miles," he said. "Why. when we had our first succcsslul firing on Dec. 31, 1930 al Roswell, it went up less than half a mile."

But you can help to make them more beautiful. Uncle Sam's green-thumb ex perts, employed by the Depart ment of Agriculture, say these green things need some help if they're to be kept up to par. The first commandment for lawns: fertilize. The right mixture depends on the type of soil under foot. Usually, fertilizers with or ganic and inorganic nitrogen are best. When in doubt, consult your neighborhood garden center. Or, your county agricultural agent. Another caution: don't drown your law n. Hold off the water until there's a sign of wilting grass. And then, don't water it faster! than the soil can absorb.
