Shows, Concerning That Awful H-Bomb
By BARBARA BENNETT
I believe we have all heard *
*br read something about the
new bomb science has discover
ed — the:
bomb that
makes the a
tomic bomb
look like a
firecracker. It
is called the
hydrogen
bomb. If they
make it WE
might be the
g e n e r ation
who lives dur
_ . ing its time.
Barbara j have ask
Bennett e(j a few kids
*Lf they think the H-bomb should
’ be made or not. Here are their
ideas:
Bernadette Hynes: “It can be
destructive, but we should make
it and use it for progress.
Tiny Layh: “If it is used for
the good of the world and not
destructively, let’s have it.
Glaryce Johnson: “We should
make it to scare other nations
so they won’t start war.
Claude Cole. “Make a few to
have on hand, just in case.

Katharine Golden: “We should
make it in case we need it.”
Marde Birmingham: “It should
be made to try and ward off the
Russians.”
Ted Lindberg: “We should
make it for cur protection.”
Don Morlan: "Let's make it
before the Russians beat us to
it.”
Coleen Hartranft: “It should
he made but there should be
• ertain limitations on its use.”
Marilyn Holsclaw: “Wg should
go ahead and make it, but have
an agreement with the other
countries to outlaw it.”
Betty Jane Williamson: “I
don’t think we should make it.
It would just start another war.”
Don Wagnon: “If we don’t
Russia will.”
Kathrine Judge: “It’s useful if
we regulate it and don’t go to
extremes.”
Pat Brennan; “It’s too des
tructive. Who wants to live anv

Donna Crabb: “Make it to
promote science.”
Don Godel: “MAKE IT.”
Pat Mullen: Make it so we
