Georgia Power Company A citizen wherever we serve 1 ment, visitors learn how an atom is split, how uranium pellets are arranged in a fuel assembly and how a chain reaction is controlled within the reactor. This principal display shows schematically a coal-fired generating plant, with a taped message explaining how elec tricity is made in such a plant. By unusual lighting techniques, this same exhibit changes from a conventional plant to one with a nuclear reactor for its heat source. Then the point is made Ihe only operating differ ence between a coal-fired gen erating plant and a nuclear fueled generating plant is the heat source. Illuminated panels in the exhibits other two rooms depict the varied uses of nuclear energy in space, agri culture, medicine, industry and I power and tell of its advantages I over fossil fuels.

The Morrow-Lake City Recreation Association has been making tremendous strides in clearing the newly-ac quired property to use in time for baseball season, but much more help is needed to com plete the barest essentials be fore the April 26th deadline. The largest part of the tree-cut ting has probably been done, but manpower is at a premium, and for the lack of enough help last week, over SIOO in cord wood had to be plowed under when the bulldozers arrived, because there was no one to move it! With money so sorely needed, and the wood being an excellent source of income at present, this was a crying shame.
