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."

.oil’ll discover this about a Buick:
The more you drive it, the more you like it;
the longer your trip, the louder your praise.
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?

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.
