JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES (O’Neill) A Bible lecture will be given at the Kingdom hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 127 Fourth street, on Sunday, February 6, 2 p.m., enti tled “Preparing Now to Live For ever.” Are you making preparations? Possibility real, not visionary. This lecture will be given by Donald J. Stanley, a representa tive of the Watchtower Bible and Tract society. High AEC Post to Former Bristow Man (Continued from page 1) Mr. Nelson startled the Rc tarians when he said “a piece of uranium the size of a baseball has the same potential energy as a pile of TNT big enough to fill the Yankee stadium. “The discovery of uranium fis sion constitutes one of the most spectacular events in the history of science,” the manager of the vast Savannah office reminded the audience. It involves many na tions, many scientists, free com munication of scientific ideas, highly trained imagination and precise experimentation. At the present time, “this in dustry is devoted almost wholly to the production of weapons and to the development of a diversi fied weapons stockpile,” the speaker said. He added that this is not by choice but is made ne cessary by the critical state of present day world affairs and will continue to be necessary so long as we stand between ruthless ag [ gressors and the peoples of the free world. “Let us all hope and pray for the day when, instead of de voting this great industry to the stockpiling of devastating weap ons, we can instead dedicate it to the production of power for turning the wheels of commerce and trade in a peaceful world. “But the fact that the use of atomic energy for weapons has remained the primary objective has not kept the commission from taking the first steps toward the production of power for peace time uses. Reactors are now be ing built which will operate un der high pressures and tempera tures for the purpose of generat ing electrical energy. Five such reactors are being planned by the commission, each' of a diffrent type, in order that we may study their relative economics. Much of the developement and design work has already been done. “Under the new atomic energy act of 1954, which permits private ownership of production facilities, it is expected that much of the developement of peaceful uses of the atom will be undertaken by private industry. The first large power-producing unit is to be built in the Pittsburgh area by the Duquesne Light company, un der an arrangement whereby the project will be financed jointly by private industry and govern ment. The other four units will also be partially fianced by the Government. Mr. Nelson believes it is only a matter of time until an atomic power plant has been developed which can convert all the energy of uranium into useful electrical power. When this comes to pass, the speaker cited, the cost of elec triety will be a minor household expense and almost all manufac tured items will be produced at a lower cost. In fact, he believes that power would become so cheap until it would no longer be metered into homes but sold on a flat rate basis. He also stressed this mass pro duction of power would revolu tionize the standard of living, not only in the United States, but in all nations. Mr. Nelson gave a brief his tory of the Savannah River plant which is located 15 miles from Aiken showing on a chart the principal facilities and some in dication of the immensity of the project. The speaker cancelled an en gagement in New York to address the Rotary club at Aiken. Atkinson Team Keats Bassett— ATKINSON—The Balers of At kinson remained undefeated in North-Central Nebraska confer ence competition last Thursday night by trimming the visiting Bassett cagers, 55-32.
