Page 2 WANTED: AN ATLAS OF IGNORANCE It is hard to believe, but an eminent adviser on geo- graphy to the Department of State, declared recently that “there are millions of square miles concerning which in- formation is a complete blank or extremely inadequate.” He further asserted that an accurate, reliable map of the world is impossible and that present efforts gloss over vast areas of ignorance, The gentleman suggests that what is needed is an “atlas of ignorance,” so that everyone can understand the “areas in which the world’s total knowledge is most de- ficient.” He thinks that such a map would stimulate the scholars of the world in discovering the secrets of the jun- gles, mountains, plains and other areas that have not been adequately studied in the past. We call attention to this statement because, in our opinion, it is true and because of the general assumption by many people that the area of the earth has been thor- oughly and scientifically explored. Moreover, it is neces- sary for cotinine individuals to understand that the ignorance that still obtains, in regard to the earth and its resources, is vattly multiplied when we come into the re- lationship of men to men, their natures, history and capa- bilities. It is ‘not tao much to assert that, despite the knowl- edge acquired by the human race, the area of ignorance is tremendously greater than the area of knowledge. With this fact An mind, it might be a good idea for all of us not to a¢tich too much importance to conclusions sug- gested or accepted. The search for truth goes on through the centuries and one of the first indications of a sincere desire to dis- cover what men do not know is a consciousness of ignor- ance. While it is natural for us, as human beings, to take pride in what we know, it is a confession of ignorance to believe that we know much about the earth or the uni- verse in which we live. It is a greater presumption to as- sume that we know much about ourselves, A broadminded man is a citizen who takes your side. Summer weather is here — in case anybody wants to know! Planning a system is one thing but getting it to work fe another. The breadwinner knows who put the “get” in the family budget. The less an individual knows, the more positive are his convictions, What the average worker needs is more and longer vacations — with pay, of course. SLICE OF HAM Twenty-One Years Today’s Business Mirror By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (#—Want a longer vacation than the boss now gives | you? Like him to pay the travel! expenses for yourself and maybe the wife and kids? Some employes manage it. Some get up to six months vacation— { often with a long boat trip thrown in. They work for American Best! ness firms with branches, plants or sales offices in foreign lands. But, as usual, there’s a lump or two in this gravy. Often American companies grant employes these back-home vaca- tions only every three years or so, although most also let the em- ploye take a holiday each year in the land where he labors. And some American firms put a limit on how many in the family the worker can bring home at company expense. To see just what the rules were on vacations for employes in for- eign service, the National Indus- trial Conference Board polled 31 U. S. companies. The foreign service rolls range from less than 50 to more than 500. Included are the fields of oil, mining, food, liquor, electric- ity, transportation, communication, | tubber, machinery and exports. All give home-leave. For the em- Ploye this means a chance to re- new home ties here. For the com- pany it is a chance to talk with the worker, bring him up-to-date on company policies, and maybe change his thinking on company practices, Six give vacations of four to six weeks, Four give one month for; each year spent abroad.

Hitch-Hiking Set. Flies Jet Plane: On First Ride WITH U. S. FIFTH AIR FORCE, Korea —A hitch-hiking Air Force master sergeant on his first jet plane ride recently found himself piloting the swift two-seat craft. Then he flew the ship for nearly 30 minutes after the engine failed. The sergeant had to take over the controls of the T-33 jet when the pilot passed out from lack of oxygen, the Air Force said today. He flew the training ship until the engine quit. He then maneu- vered it carefully down to a leyel where the pilot regained conscious- ness. Sgt. Charles E. Hilt, 31, Parker, Fla., never had been in a jet until he hitch-hiked a ride from Korea to Japan in the T-33 flown by Lt. Robert W. MacDuff, veteran aerial reconnaissance pilot from Avenel mass injection of the new serum |N. J at Provo, Utah, last fall. Similar tests are now being made in Hous- ton, Tex., and Sioux City, Iowa. Also noted in the report were other research advances and a to- tal of 28,668 polio cases in 1951. | The U. S. Public Health Service was reported as terming the year the third worst for the disease in this country. They were buzzing along at 500 miles an hour 37,000 feet up when MacDuff asked Hilt to hold the auxiliary control stick in the rear ! seat while the pilot worked a navi- gational problem. “All I knew was that if you push | forward on the stick you go down and if you pull back you go up,” said Hilt. “I held to the course the United States?

In seven years it has been difficult for me to get used to it, even when the announcement of the Hydrogen bomb experiments were made. I've read about it, talked about it, seen it mentioned in print ich day. Now- I know that Italy has success- fully completed such a bomb, but still I have the feeling that I am aboard some Time Machine of comic fame and have been project- ed into some improbable future year where the only anachronisms are bugan beings, and I am as outmoded as the Model T. For the man on the street they use homely little examples and diagrams to explain these inexp! }eable phenomenon. They say a bomb the size of a peanut will do this. Something the size of a golf ball will do that. A mechanism small enough to fit into an over- night bag can destroy a metropo- lis. What horrible, homely little symbols are used to convey these ' wonders! It’s all supposed to be so , simple.

If they could only | hear the conversations on the sha- dowed porches of the old Conch houses, or down at Sloppy Joe’s where the boys in the round white caps hang out. Maybe then they could realize the great division there is between what they are so ‘intent on producing and the mind of the man ordering a short beer. The man with the lager says, “Well,-it won’t be long now.” The bartender nods agreement. Maybe the bartender is thinking about the baseball league and wondering how the Conchs are making out tonight, but the guy with the beer is pro- bably thinking if he remembers the news from Italy that it won’t be too long before the end df the world. 4 When they let ‘the ' Hiroshima, much was tributed to our culture: It supplied jokes | and gags for radio, television and the movies. Could bg’ it inspired quite a few young men to volun- teer for the airforce, though not | nearly enough. We've even heard it has caused some citizenry to build bomb shel- ters in their back yards, though I have yet to hear of any in Key West. We are only thankful to God that none of these shelters have | yet been tested. But if it has done nothing else, the atom, and now | the hydrogen bomb, has made peo- ple besides the tortured bombed out Japanese who have never be- fore thought of a world beyond Stock Island or the rim of an Iowa farm, to think about the world. They are thinking now of a brand new world entirely powered by ato- mie energy. They are seeing it come to pass before their very | , eyes. Not only in weapons of des- ‘truction like destroyers and sub- marines, but in weapons of healing and destruction of the killers of mankind like Cancer. Every day you read or are told of some new wonder, and lo! the wonder is} true. Our eyes grow round and our hearts beat faster at the sight of the future that has arrived much too suddenly. } Not only our small sea rimmed world, but the whole great globe is truly shaken. Now we are en-! gaged in another “Police action” (I call it war, along with millions of others) We are threatened anew in Europe. Some people speak of it solemnly and use the pen and their voices to warn the Leaders of the world to move cautiously, others talk of progress and rockets to the moon. We have flying sau- | | cers over the nation’s capital, may- | be Moon madmen looking at us. | There are also those who make the jokes about it too. As I say, I don’t | know much about it, it has been over seven years since the Atom burst upon the world, but I feel as if it will still take me quite a | spell to figure out just what it will mean to me and my children and the ones that come after us. | Sometimes I get a strange feel- | | ing that perhaps at this very mo- ment God must be praying for bu- | manity. | Al Barlick, veteran National League umpire, entered pro; arbitering ranks in the North-/ east Arkansas League in 1936. | to succeed Gen.
