Tha son of man came to soek and to ssvo that which was lost.—
Luko 19.10. Some religions solve the problem of poverty and ignorance
by making such untouchable. The Christian way is to seek and to save
them to change them for the better.
Atoms Need Application
JN a noncontroversial sideshow during the “summit" confer-
ences at Geneva, President Eisenhower pushed some but-
tons that produced some plutonium in an atomic reseach
reactor which the United States is putting on display at the
international atoms-for-peaee program.
“I hope that everybody who gets a chance to see this,”
he said, “will learn that there are really many, many ways
in which atomic science can be used for the benefit of man-
kind and not for destruction.”
A FEW days earlier, useful electric power began flowing
through private transmission lines at West Milton. N.Y.,
generated by an atomic reactor in a symbolic first commer-
cial application. It was doubly symbolic, for the reactor was
the same one used to test the power plant design for Ameri-
ca's second nuclear-powered submarine, the Seawolf, launched
later in the same week.
Despite such graphic evidence of nondestructive use of
the atom s power, the Joint Congressional committee on
Atomic Energy remains reluctant toward the president’s idea
for an atomic-powered “peace ship." Many who oppose the
idea scorn it as a “showboat" venture.
gUT even if Mr. Eisenhower’s peace voyage idea is dis-
carded, it certainly would seem to make atomic-age sense
to get some kind of a nuclear-powered ship on the ways.
There’s no reason to fall behind in peaceful use of the
atom, any more than there would be to lag in its defensive
applications.
But Work Creates Checks
^BOUT four weeks and several hours ago a publisher brought
forth g new book by a provocative doctor of philosophy
named William J. Reilly, who had previously written about
living the life of the same name in another book called “How '
to Avoid Work.”
Actually, Dr. Reilly didn’t mean you should stop working
altogether; he meant you should find a job vou could enjoy
and then it wouldn’t seem like work. But titles being what
they are he has thought better of it this time and set forth a
new philosophy: “How to Make Your Living in Four Hours a
Day—Without Feeling Guilty About it.”
Since nobody shackled to an eight-hour day could resist
such a title, we have been browsing (somewhat wistfully)
m this new treatise. It turns out that the four-hour life of Dr
creativeS m°Sty f°r th°Se Wh° make their livin8 by being
“To most Americans,” he says, “ ‘making a living’ means
working at a job that keeps them occupied from 35 to 40 hours
a week in return for a wage or a salary they can live on
consequently, most Americans are not nearly as creative as
they could be. They just go through the moiions of the job

LILLY just looked at him a min-
ute. “You want to hear something
else that’ll make you a site sick-
er?”
“What you talking about, Lilly?”
| She gave it to him, uncut. “Be-
1 han is spreading it around that
in your last four days as sheriff,
nobody's stuck up any stages.
That’s the first time more than
98 hours have gone by but what
some outfit hasn’t tried to make
a hoist somewhere long the line.”
“Maybe I’d ought to thank him
for the compliment before I leave.”
“He’s saying it’s pretty hard to
stick up stages and be sheriff all
at the same time.”
Wyatt laughed. A man had
heard some silly things in his
time. “I wasn’t even near this
town up to this week.”
“Can you prove it?”
“Sure, Ringo was with me.”
“Ringo!” she said. “Now,
there’s a wonderful boy for an
alibi! Telling it big that Tomb-
stone wasn’t wide enough to hold
both him and you.”
"But neither Clum nor his Cit-
izen's Committee, nor any other
man of good sense hereabouts, is
going to question where 1 was
two, three weeks ago.”
“And how about two, three hours
ago?”
The way she said it, coming up
off thc bed where she’d been sit-
ting, holding him hard with that
anxious, bright-eyed look of hers,
told him she was dead serious.
‘•You’re in trouble. Wyatt. Your
horse is outside, lathered and
warm.”
She laid the rest of it on, harsh
as raw salt in an open cut. “The
Benson stage was stuck up at Bo-
quilla Springs three hours ago.
Monk Wilson was shot and killed,
and thc company lost the Lucky
Cuss payroll. Upwards of $14,000
in greenback cash.”
Then he was casing the door
open, taking a last quick look
around, and slipping through it.
She was at his stirrup before he
could get Big Red reined around.
“Wyatt, don’t go! Don't quit like
this . . .!”
“Back in the shack before you
freeze, girl. Hard work, that’s
what makes the world go around,
Lilly. So, don’t you worry your
pretty head about old Wyatt. Your
boy is mainly off to see a man
about a job!”

THE noon stage for Tombstone
left Benson on time the follow-
ing Wednesday—with thc Conten-
tion payroll in its usual place be-
tween the shotgun rider’s feet.
There wasn’t a (him to mark its
departure from that of the pre-
vious Wednesday mn, unless a man
happened to be looking for little
things.
It bad a new driver in place ol

appeared to be enjoying his job
and being real pleasant.
There was one slight turn from
the other pattern, for the new rider
was no Wyatt Earp. He let go of
his .12 guage as requested, butt-
foremost. By the time it hit the
dirt alongside of the coach, things
were smack back on schedule.
A double-barrelled shotgun blast-
ed the night and two bandit sad-
dles were standing empty, exactly
as before.
The outlaw leader and his sur-
viving partners had only time to
realize the tubes had rolled out the
near-side, coach door window, when
thc door itself slammed open and
the solitary, black-coated passenger
was hitting the dirt heels first,
bucking « cavalry model .44 into
the packed mass‘of their horses.

THEY ripped a couple of car-
bine slugs through the coach, with
maybe six, eight others into the
air around it. But the passenger's

They got out fast, and their late-
ly laughing leader wasn’t the last
one to leave thc scene, by several.
It was just 7:15 p.m. when thc
Benson stage pulled up to thc O.K.
Stable stop, and Tombstone got her
first word that Wells Fargo had
hired on a new express messenger,
Wyatt Earp.
He was stalking up Allen street
with thc Contention payroll box
under one arm and a sawed-off
shotgun under the other.

L^ACH year I think one rodeo
^ is enough but as Chet Smith
said “when it gets to be eight
o’clock and I know the lights are
on, I gotta be there.”
And so it was with the Yukon
show Saturday night. Eight thirty
found us in our customary places
close to the chutes. The show
was fine. The’El Reno wranglers
rode a flawless quadrille, the
arena direction good and the
stock on the whole pretty salty
with a briny old Brahma bull
taking the honors in excitement.
Cow hand jargon is like Greek
to the unintiate, but colorful and
pungent and sometimes unre-
fined. With the cowboy’s usually
limited education he extracts the
juice from thc language and dish-
es it out without watering it
down.
MfHEN a cow hand says he has
" five beans in the wheel he
doesn’t mean ball bearings or
something edible, but he does
mean he has five cartridges in
the cylinder of his gun. The ham-
mer is always down on an empty
chamber for safety. The man
who carries six cartridges in his
gun is what the boys call a “rank
Pilgrim.” They say “if y’u can’t
do the job in five tries, y’u better
rattle y’ur hocks outa here and
find a place to hole up. Some
ranny ’s goin’ to get ringey
and give y’u a halo gratis.”
JANE couldn't mistake the mean-
” ing of “on the peck.” There
is a tale told by Jim Houston
about a cow “on the peck” which
goes like this. “There wasn’t no
lovelight in that cow’s eyes as
she makes for me. I fogs it
across the corral like I’m goin’ to
a dance and she’s scratchin’
grease off my pants at ever’
jump. Secin’ I can't make it to
the fence in time, Brazos Gowdy
jumps down and throws his hat
in the old gal’s face. When she
seen a cowhand come apart like
that she hesitates till I make thc
fence without losin’ anything
morc’n some confidence, a lot
0’ wind, and a little dignity. Y’u
can take it from me that a cow
with a fresh branded calf might
be a mother but she shore aint
no lady.”

Problem a Day
Two airplanes leave a city at the
same time in opposite directions,
one traveling 19 miles an hour
faster than the other. If in 4 hours
they are 844 miles apart, how fast
does each plane travel?
ANSWER
96 and 115 m.p.h. Subtract prod-
uct of 19 and 4 from 844; divide
by sum of 4 and 4 for slower
plane’s rate; add 19 for faster
rate.

Step Taken To Bypass Forme
Plane Switcliing in Air Trave
WASHINGTON —(NEA)-Some-
' time later this year, for the
first time in flying history, it should
be possible to get on an American
flag airplane in New York and
stay on the same plane all the way
to Buenos Aires.
There will be no need to change
planes at Miami and Balboa, Pan-
ama, as in the past. Only the
crews will change.
This great improvement in serv-
ice is expected as the result of a
iittlfe-publicized civil aeronautics
board decision in thc so-called Bal-
boa case. It has been kicking
around since 1943.
Eventually, two combinations of
two U. S. airlines each will offer
competing service. But for the
present CAB authorizes only one
interchange agreement between
Eastern and Braniff. Eastern oper-
ates New York-Miami; Braniff,
Miami-Balboa-Buenos Aires.

FOR A COMPETING American
flag service, CAB has left the door
open for an interchange between
National Airlines from New York
to Miami and Pan American World
Airways-Panagra from Miami to
Balboa and Buenos Aires. Panagra,
of course, is owned 50-50 by Pan-
Am and W. R. Grace and company.
This second CAB authorization is
contingent on the several compa-
nies being able to get together on
a service by Aug. 1. But their in-
ability to agree was what held up
the deal.
The inside story on the latest
CAB action in the case is that the
board members got tired of wait-
ing. They authorized the Eastcrn-
Braniff interchange in an effort to
force the 50-50 owners of Panagra
to settle their differences, or lose
the business.
Thc Panagra partnership was
formed in 1928, before there was
any civil aeronautics board to wor-
ry about. Things went pretty well
in the pioneering days. Grace had
operated a shipping line down the
west coast of South America for
years. This was a valuable prop
for the infant Pan-Am’s spectacu-
lar flying operation.
PAN-AM FLEW Miami to Bal-
boa. Panagra flew south of Balboa.
Their troubles began in 1941 when
Grace and company filed a petition
to make Panagra's northern ter-
minus Miami.
CAB froze all route applications
during the war, but in 1942 it tried
to work out a settlement.
After two years of trying, CAB
gave up.
Grace and company then took thc
issue to federal court in New Yor
The court handed thc case back
CAB. Pan-Am appealed to U.
Supreme Court, but the case w
eventually dropped.
In 1948 National got sucked in
the act. Grace and company hi
bought into National. Was it leg
j control?
CAB worked out a proposed sc
I tlement which it sent to Preside
Truman for approval just befo
his term expired. He declined ai
left it for President Eisenhowc
But thc potato was so hot that I>
simply sent it back to CAB agai
IN JUNE, 1954, with CAB bles
ing, Panagra offered Braniff fi
million dollars' worth of stock
Pan-Am and Grace if Braniff wou
sell its Latin-American route
Braniff refused.
CAB tried another settlement
November, 1954. This time t)
President approved it, with a nui
ber of “ifs.”
The several companies were gi
en time to work out intcrchani
agreements for the Bogota route
But instead of agreements, ;
CAB got was what it calls “a pi
thora of documents.”
The Pan-American argument
that if two or more combinatioi
of U. S. airlines are forced to ope
ate this route in competition wi
Latin America and European ca
riers, neither will make a prof
The CAB position is that its r
sponsibility is “to establish a soun
competitive U.S. air transport sy
tem to South America.” The boa
thinks both systems should opera
profitably.
