ROTARIANS HAVE
ATOMS FOR LUNCH
The electrical make-up of atoms
was the subject of Rotarian Don
Hendershot’s “For the Mind” pro
gram at Thursday’s noon Rotary
luncheon. As background ma
terial for the emerging atomic age
Ro’tarian Hendershot gave docu
mented and diagrammed brief
outlines on how electrons circle
the protons and neutrons in stable
atoms. As the make-up of atoms
become more complex as the ele
ments advance from the simple
structure of hydrogen to' that of
such atoms as uranium, the mass
increases in direct proportion to
the total of protons and neutrons.
If this center of the atom is bom
barded by an outside neutron, a
distrubance occurrs that releases
parts of the atoms and energy is
built up as when energy is used
to dislodge a rock at the top of
a cliff, and builds up a release
of energy when the rock hurls
itself down the cliff. At this
point, somehow one of the charts
turned out to be a pin-up beauty,
and Rotarians were well into
Buck Rogers Atomic Age.
President Bill Cameron an
nounced the new Boy Scout Com
mittee for the troop sponsored by
Rotary here in Nome: chairman,
Jim McLean, Don Hurlbert, Lu
ther Dunbar, Sam Mogg, and Stan
Erickson. Scoutmaster will be
Pete Hahn, and Institutional Rep
resentative will be Rotarian A.
Polet.
A new roadside sign with the
Rotary emblem and the name of
the town^and club’s meeting place
has been ordered. Rotarian Larry
Galvin, who won the door prize,
said he had spots before his eyes
from watching at atoms. It could
also be figures from the new
Federal tax on all such earnings.
Guest at Rotary was the Rev.
Howard Laycock, Protestant Epis
copal Minister from Pt. Hope, an
other of the Arctic sky pilots who
flys his own plane.
