A MAN OF YOUR POSITION OUGHTA BE ASHAMED TO WEAR AN ILL- RTTING OUTFIT LIKE THAT/ Jet Space Plane Will Cruise Void Atomic-powered plane* capable of flying tremendous distances at high speeds will be in use within the next few years, a Yale physi cist predicted recently. William W. Watson, professor of physics, also declared that the next logical step after atomic planes will be the multiple-jet space craft driven by atomic fuel. Prof. Watson, who worked on the atomic bomb project during World War II and is now chairman of the physics department at Yale, point ed out that such an aircraft would be technically possible in the not too distant future. “Such a ship,” he said, “could cruise in empty space, using for ward jets as brakes. Its skipper could navigate it into an orbit at any desired height above the sur face of the earth, then turn off his engines and become an artificial satellite of the earth. “He will also be able to travel to the moon, if he wants to in vestigate that cold mass without an atmosphere. The almost limitless range because of long-lasting atom ic fuel makes all this possible." Space navigators will have se rious problems, however, as the sun’s radiation is going to en danger them and they also might collide with a meteorite, he said. Prof. Watson also foresaw earhr use of atomic land-power in this country. “There are four separate in dustry hook-ups at present," he said, “making feasibility studies of atomic power production. The plan Is for the industries to build reac tors, use the power, and then re turn the uranium to the Atomic Energy Commission which original ly supplied it. “The commission will extract from the returned uranium the plutonium formed by intense neutron bombardment during reac tor operation. Plutonium is the new long-lived radioactive element which is itself fissionable and is therefore of great value." HERE'S THE SUIT I BOUGHT FROM YOU LAST WEEK.

That’s what people tell us. And we’ll tell you why. You can drive a Buick three, four, five hundred miles in a single day, and feel fresh enough to keep right on going. You can romp up high hills, cruise straightaways, ease through traffic-tangled towns, clock off hour after hour of relaxed and pleasurable driving— and be no more tired than a neighborhood jaunt would make you. How come this comfort-rich ground-covering ability in a Buick? There’s the ease of deep, soft seats for one thing —and plenty of move-about room for arms, legs, shoulders. There’s Dynaflow Drive* taking all the chore out of driving, and giving your whole ride* a satiny smoothness without trace of jerkiness or driving tension. There’s a hoodful of thrilling, tireless power from a high-compression, valve-in-head Fire ball 8 Engine that whips out miles like a tarpon reels off line. There’s the soft, steady, solid, swerve-free go ing of a coil-spring-cushioned ride that’s well worth the million-plus dollars itcost to engineer. There’s all this and more—much more—that makes your heart grow fonder of this trim and thrifty traveler. But words can’t do justice to a Buick in motion. Only you can. When will you come sample this experience yourself? Equipment, accessories, trim and models are subject to change without notice.

C. Sears Holds Third Dixie Progress Sale Illustrating Sears, Roebuck and Co’s, ever growing participation in the economic development of the South, the company’s order offices and retail stores in South Caro- Jina will hold their third annual Dixie Progress celebration begin ning October 9, Mrs. Mary Oard- enhire. Sears local manager, an nounced today. Southern products have long been featured in the familiar Sears catalogs and serve to point up the extent to which Sears is dependent on industry in the South and more especially in South Carolina. Such merchandise purchased by Sears in 1951 from South Carolina manufacturers amounted to $32,049,00(1. Mrs. Oardenhire explained that these products represent merchandise in a wide range of consumer goods’ classifications and were purchas ed from a total of 47 different South Carolina manufacturing firms located in 33 towns and cities. This is a graphic illustra tion of the growing diversificaton of industry in the South. Many of the products purchased in this state were distrubted nationally through Sears mail order and re tail outlets. Thus Sears has turn ed to the South not only for goods sold in the South, but in the North, West and even in several foreign countries. “In announcing the Dixie Prog ress celebration, we wish to stress that Sears will continue to utilize manufacturers in this state to an even greater degree fpr its merch andise purchases in the future.’ Mrs. Gardenhire continued. “This statement is dramatically illustrat ed when you realize that Sears purchases in 1939 from South Carolina amounted to only $6,288,- 400 as compared with the 1951 pur chases of $32,049,000,’’ she stated. “Sears was a pioneer in encour aging the policy of decentraliza tion of industry. This policy has proved to be of immense value both to Sears and to the South. It has benefitted the company be cause the nearness of our sources of supply to our sales outlets has made it possible .for us to cut costs of distribution. In addition, it is making it possible for us in the South to work a balance be tween agrculture and Industry which is a proven formula for a healthy economy.” Mrs. Gardenhire further stated that Sears’ purchases in the South for 1951 amounted to almost half a billion dollars. “This figure would be even more striking in its effect on this region if it could be reflected in terms of additional jobs created and additional pur chasing power placed in the hands of Southern citizehs," she said.
