At Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the first atomic cancer hospital in the world is in operation. Scientists are employed on more than five hundred research projects in search for new industrial uses for atomic energy. There are also continuous experiments in the field of atomic aid for agri- culture, At the Oak Ridge laboratories, there are sixty men and women working with radioactive medicines, Prob- _ably the best known of these: medicines is called radio- fodine-131 for treating thyroid cancer. It seems that drinks of radio-iodine have helped a number of patients “and kept alive or improved. others who were dying, Other ‘medicines experimented with in the fight against cancer are phosphorus-32, liquid-radio-gold-19 and, gallium-67. In this hospital the doctors and nurses wedr exposure badges which contain small bits of film which will indi- cate when they have been exposed to too much radiation. There are also special laboratories preparing atomic medicines and special lead-lined banks which act as drug stores. Probably fifty or more colleges and universities are supporting this atomic exploration in medicine. In the past few years, certain atomic devices have mn developed which are helping industry to detect aws in metal castings, to meter the level of liquids in refinery operations, and to measure and control the thick- ness of sheet rubber, paper, textiles, plastics and metals. In the field of agriculture, radioactive materials are being put to wide use. Originally, it was thought that ra- dio-active fertilizers would be developed but experiments have proved that these materials were useless, Atomte re- search is helping the farmer, however, by telling him how much good his fertilizers are doing. This is accom- plished by mixing radioactive material in fertilizer which ean then be traced as to its influence in plant growth. Ra- dioactive uranium nitrate has been used to develop vari- eties of disease-resistant plants. While it is evident that great developments are be- ing made in the peacetime development of atomic energy, ‘we must realize that our main efforts are still toward de- veloping atomic energy for military purposes. The peace- time development of atomic energy will mean a great | deal to America. It will mean healthier men and women, bigger farm crops and greater industrial efficiency, SLICE OF HA A ud HAL By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK #®=Many American ind Britain, ete the average wife her bus of atms, E is E 3 al F fae e E &s Ee Ea ay F ct ei j 3 i 2 i 5 [ £ 5 i 4 gf fe i i | ' : a i fii sf Ht 2: ‘i if iT z : : : z z : F 2 2? ae “What I don't see is how Eng- lishmen manage to keep the size of their secret,” mar- veled another husband. “My wife makes me bring home my pay- check in'my mouth. Sometimes I don’t even know myself what I'm making.” “I know what you mean,” re- marked a third. “I have to de- liver my check unopened, too, The last time I hit my boss up for a raise, he said, ‘Why, I've given you two in the last six months.’ First I'd heard about it..When I asked my wife, she told me, didn’t want it to go to your head, junior."” “You guys ought to learn to put | your foot down,” bragged a fourth jhusband. “I tell my wife every | morning she either has to give me a dollar or I won't go to work. She forks out, too.” The others shook their heads at this bravery and agreed nothing so foolhardy would work with their wives. Finally a white-haired old vet- eran of 40 years of marital war- fare said: | “Boys, let's quit kidding our- selves.
