Most Explosive
Thing In The World
One hundred and twenty-five
yeakee egos Alfred Nobel, fotm-
dee of the Peace prize, was born
an Stockholm, A century ages he
perfected, carnmercial exple-
'foe, which he called dyaamite,
It has Served industry well, rip-
ping apart the bowels Of moun-
tain! to loosen *veins of .iron ore,
Prying free coal deposits
Wedged in seams of slate, and

ulling down hillsides rich in
opper, silver, and many rarer
rnetals. It has dug ditches to
drain swamps and salvaged
drowned acres and cleared
stumpage for farmland and
foadways. Nobel designed dyaa-
enite for man's welfare — not
his desrtuction. As evidence of
his ethical and moral intentions,
he used his profits to establish
the Peace prize,
The atom splitters, from Ein-
stein and Fermi to the men who
made the instrument that ob-
literated much of Hiroshima and
fragasaki, prefer to think of the
Comic pile as generating power

plants.
The Chinese invented gun-
powder for their ceremonial
grecrackers many centuries be-
fore the Italian states employed
explosives for their guns in the
fourteenth century. Over the
years, the tools of war haVe be-
some deadlier. Now for better
or for worse, we have dynamite,
TNT, cordite, unclear fission and
nuclear fusion. What then is the
most explosive thing in the
world?
Actually, it is none of these.
The most explosive thing in
the world today is printer's ink.
Vhy? Because a little of it, toss-
ed into the alphabet, can deton-
ate ideas that will move the
minds of men with a• force in-
finitely greater and more last-
ing than the whirlwind loosed
by splitting an atom. Printer's
ink serves good or evil, but the
evidence on the positive side far
Outweighs the negative. For
when a man with a vision of
man's higher destiny touches
ink to paper`, its blackness holds
the light of the world.
In his urge to make the in-
herent power of printer's ink
the servant of the arts and sci-
ences, Nobel offered annual re-
wards to the talented writers
who used the printed 'word for
the esthetic pleasure of their
fellow men. Some books are
stimulating, some challenging,
`some debatable, and some in-
herently evil. Many have left a
deep impress on the minds and
souls of men. .

Though atomic power may
threaten man's destruction,
prihter's ink holds promise of
his salvation. Personally, we'll
take our chances on the superior
force of printer's ink. — Dun's
Review (New York).

About this time of year, many
families living in the St. John
River Valley of New Brunswick
journey to the river's edge in
search of fiddleheads — those
graceful greens which are actu-
ally baby Ostrich ferns. Fiddle-
heads are one of the delicacies
of this area and are both canned
and frozen for general distribu-
tion.
For the uninitiated, they taste
faintly like dandelion greens but
have no bitterness. And of course
they get their name from their
intricate form, which resembles
the top of a fiddle.

Harlow, England — (NEA) —
Harlow, in the heart of rural
Essex County is known as the
town where the stork Works
overtime while, death takes a

This community of 42,250 per-
sons, designed specifically to
take the 'overspill of •London's
population, is Britain's biggest
and boldest experiment in town
planning.
And the stork might well be
the emblem of this ambitious
urban scheme, for no less than'
one-fifth of its inhabitants are
under the age of five. As for
death:
"What's a funeral, daddy?" a
little boy asked recently as a
funeral procession wound through
Harlow's streets, Funerals are
so rare in Harlow as to excite
little the boys the way circus
\parades do in our own small
towns.
"Virtually nobody will die in
Harlow for the next 30 years,"

the Harlow Development Corpor-
ation, explained to me.

American town planners come
here to study Harlow's civic de-
sign, go away brooding over its
social problems. "Harlem is
probably the wackiest example
of population unbalance you can
find anywhere," a New York
planning expert confided to me.
The town, which celebrated its
11th birthday in May, has only
reached the halfway Mark in its
development. Its population is
expected to reach a peak of
80,000 by 1965, or double the
present number-of inhabitants.
Created by an Act of Parlia-
ment in 1946, Harlow is One of
eight new towns designed to re-
lieve populatioh pressure on
London as well as to decentralize
industry. Before a family can

In novels such chance meet-
ings 'would be regarded as au-
thor's licence — stretching the
long arm of coincidence. Yet
they happen repeatedly in real
life,
Three years ago the Marquess
of Ailesbury, survivor of the
siege of. Ladysmith in the "Boer
War, married the girl friend of
his teens — when they were both
82. Mrs. Maud Money became
ehis third wife, for twice he had
been a widower; she had been
thrice widowed.
"I must say I'm thrilled," she
said. "I suppose you would call
it romantic." Not only romantic
but phenomenal, after his two
marriages, her three, and the
lapse of more than 60 years. The
best man was the Earl of Cardi-
gan, his 51-year-old son! The
family motto should be: " 'Tis
r,ever too late to wed."
a house must be waiting.
In turn, the presence of a 'sta-
bilized, contented labor force in
Harlow, together with the ab-
sence of a housing problem, has
induced manufacturers to open
branch plants or to found new
industries there. At present,
there are 68 factories in Harlow,
most of them of 'the light manu-
facturing variety, such as plas-
tics.
There is much to admire in
Harlow. Its houses, for example,
are so designed that they turn
their backs on the streets and
face inwards onto a green park
land. They offer a wide variety
of styles, ranging from timbered
Essex cottages to 12-story apart-
ment blocks. Over 50,000 forest
trees have been planted as insur-
ante that the natural beauty of
the Essex countryside:will not be
lost
But Harlow also shows •signs
of growing pains. While, eight
pubs do a flourishing business,
the town has completed only one
church. Church 'goers make do
with seven temporary meeting
halls.
While Harlow supports 10
amateur drama groups, it has yet
to, get its first super-cinema; and
although its medical services are
fully integrated it has no hos-
pital of its own (ground was
recently broken for a 250-bed
hospital, which is still inadequate
for a town this size).
It has, however, opened 14
schools, With a College Of Fur-

By 1968, today's coddlers will

low's juvenile delinquency prob-

beaut.

are today, as Harlow's second,
generation begins to pair off and
establish homes of its own. But.
What homes?
In order to house its second
generation, Herlow must cease t4

k As alternatives, either the
younger generation will be forc-
