More and higher claims Are reported. One insurance company Mana Ger James Dawson of Dawson insurance compared last year s total of claims for Hail damage to this year s total of to Date. Average losses were compared to last year he said. In 1962, companies belonging to the Hail association paid out in losses to Farmers in North Dakota. Nationwide they paid out More than in claims. The association does not include Mutual companies and some state groups. Ask Andy de taken by Man. Estimates of the total Cost Range upwards from with some sources predicting an outlay of 000. The fat Price tag was under scored last week when the National aeronautics and space administration announced sign ing of the largest contract it has Ever negotiated. North Ameri can aviation incorporated received the Plum for initial development and production of the Apollo Craft s two major sections the command and service modules. The command module will House the three astronauts in route to the Moon and during the return trip. The service module will contain propulsion Andy sends a Complete 20 volume set of world Book encyclopedia to Paul Selig Mann age 14, of Seattle wash., for his question what Are Gam a rays the 20th Century opened with a flurry of scientific excitement. Radioactivity had been discovered and every wide awake physicist was Busy probing its mys teries. The penetrating Energy Given off by a radioactive sub stance was soon separated into three different types. Alpha rays were found to be streams of pro ton particles charged with Posi Tive electricity. Beta rays were streams of negatively charged 1 Ecton particles. The nature of the Gamma rays Given off by radioactivity was fathomed a Little later. These Amaz ing rays had much to Tell us and just three years ago they were used to Complex test one of theories of Einstein s relativity. Unlike Alpha and Beta rays Gamma rays Are not streams of particles. They Are penetrating streams of pure Energy some what like a rays. Both Are forms of electromagnetic Energy with Shorter wave lengths than Ordin Ary Light. Shorter wave lengths have More penetrating Energy. A rays Are a million million times Shor Ter than radio and Gamma rays Are 100 times Shorter than the wave lengths of a rays. Gamma rays Given off by radioactive de Cay can Pierce flesh Bone and Wood. Six inches of Lead is need ded to Stop them. Uranium 238 decays step by step to the isotope Lead 205. In the process eight Alpha particles and a number of Beta particles Are shot Forth. But the weight of the final Lead plus the lost Par tides is a Little less than the Ori Power and equipment. Other supporting main body final uranium. This fraction of Ost weight has been converted o pure Energy and Given off As searing Gamma rays. In 1934, the positively charged positron was discovered. This Iny particle is equal in mass to the negative Electron. In radio activity positron meets Electron and the two particles of matter convert each other to a Gamma Ray of Energy. This Energy can be converted Back to matter As a pair of particles a positron and an Electron. Andy sends a world Book Atlas to Johnnie m. Tolbert age 15, of Brewton ala., for his question How did the Earth become covered with soil soil is a mixture of crumbled minerals and organic material. Plants use its organic chemicals to grow and support animals. As they rot and decay plants and animals return More organic materials to the soil. The minerals in the soil come from rocks that Are broken apart by weathering and water. It takes 100 years of this slow process to form one Inch of Good soil. Perhaps the first soil came from shallow pools teeming with algae and Marine animals. The Waters dried up leaving a Silty mixture of minerals and decaying mate rials. Other layers of soil were started by bacteria Lichen in sects and other Small creatures living at the fringes of the ancient seas.

While the main body of the ship orbits the Moon. Both contracts cover work until -1965. The Apollo Effort is so wide spread that it cannot be handled by a handful of companies. The space Agency estimates that More than firms and people eventually will be involved in the project. That s about a year in salaries alone.

Out of the Maze of complicated tests came an enlightening revelation. These scientists concluded that there was real danger when the breath was held for an unusually Long period under water. Their studies showed that momentary episodes of unconscious Ness can occur if breathing is deliberately controlled beyond one s usual endurance they sur Mise that these momentary lapses of consciousness can Leac to panic and drowning oven when the swimmer is experienced. Another cause another cause of drowning that has been Given Little or no recognition occurs to swimmer who Are known to have chronic infections of the ears with perforation of the eardrums. Cold water under pressure o deep diving or swimming May produce dizziness. When the Cole water enters the Middle a through the perforation it May induce a sudden attack of ver Tigo or dizziness. Anyone who has any unusual condition of the ears such a chronic infection or chronic Dis Harge should take extra pre actions while swimming. Swimming pools Safe swimming pools have passed rom a status Symbol of luxury o a household necessity in Many larts of the United states. In countless communities the swim Ming Pool is As much a part of he planning of the Home As is he refrigerator or the garage. Family activities Center around he Pool. Yet the unsupervised swimming Pool is a potential Dan Ger to the entire family. The it cannot happen to us Frame of mind about Pool tragedies is an erroneous one. Accidents have remarkable ways of happening when the protective guards of Security Are even momentarily relaxed. Safety Rule one swimming safety Rule if strictly adhered to by both adults and children can avoid tragedy. The Rule is this no one should Ever swim alone. This Rule must apply to Good swimmers and even to those who Are just taking a Quick dip Cool inflated mattresses and Waist supports Are not substitutes for constant attention or knowing How to swim. A heavy floating rope that indicates change of depth from shallow to deep water is an excellent safeguard. This Marker should not be used for play. Protective Fence All pools should be surrounded by a protective Fence with a self Locking door to keep out wander ing toddlers yours or your neigh Bor s. Constant vigilance supplies the greatest Protection for Small children. Pools should be equipped with a Long Bamboo pole and a life preserver for emergencies Only not for water play. When private pools adopt the strict precautionary rules of Large s All the advantages of safety will be incorporated into the fun of swimming at Home.
