— „ \J\ Thursday, April 28,1955 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Fabulous Uranium By JAMES C. KINARD ProlesBor Albert Einstein, an humble but brilliant scientist, recently passed away. The news of his death reminds us of the invaluable contribution he made to what may eventually prove to be America's sole weapon of de fense against ultimate destruc tion. Just fifteen years ago he warned President Franklin D. Roosevelt that Germany might be working on an atomic bomb. That kind of menace to hutaan life had not been dreamed of be- bore. Einstein’s mind was far in advance of his generation. Few people had ever heard of uranium. Chemists listed R as a rare and comparatively unim portant element except as to its use in coloring pottery, glass ware nad false teeth. Today uranium is the most sought after metal on earth. It is not only an essential element in the manufacture of deadly atomic bombs but also the secret of atomic energy for marvelous peaceful projects to benefit all mankind. Lured by promises of rich re ward, prospectors are eagerly probing into the earth’s crust to find productive sources of this incredibly magic fuel. So im portant is this project into new adventure government agen cies of he United States and oth- e nations are guaranteeing good prices for the profitable uncov ering of uranium. We arg confident that the in genuity and skill of the Ameri can scientists will keep our country well out in front in the feverish race for supremacy in atomic energy develpoment. In the next few months the news in this respect could well be excit ing and dramatic. "DOK'T BUY A DIAMOND KING 1 ' Warns J. C.
