14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, April 20, 1961 'Soon We May Work African:Churches while Still Asleep Have Hard Times GROUTVILLE, South Africa (AP) -- Christianity--and espe- cially Christian missions--are having a tough time in the new Africa. But a prominent and re- spected African Negro thinks there is still a great need for the church and missions if they will boldly adopt new methods. He is Albert Luthuli, the ex- Zulu chief who is leader of the African (Negro) National Con- gress now outlawed by South Africa's white government. i Lushuy is 2 mild-mannered| can man whose efforts to gain poli-| y . e were tical rights for his people in this In A naw Africa Shefe We re white-ruled country have gained] Cast four Ways Jn ¥ he B the for him nomination abroad for church was needed to ep. rd the Nobel Peace Prize and here. irst it must train African most recently, appearances at| (Negro) leaders of a high qual South Aca marathon (reason th ci as ee Now back at his rural home, of low standard, shurch { he expressed no bitterness over hay n its adh urch mis DnioR Ad delenton Jn an in Ave tu capture the youth tov. terview conducted by the Amer- ican editor of the monthly Our "uppivq" The church must not Alticn ad hesitate to speak out.

Burns Fascinates Russian Poet MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Soviet Part of his success, he be- state publishing houses are pre- lieves, is that Burns is akin to paring another large edition of the Russian spirit.

"Secondly, if the church ap-| pears to be indifferent to the suffering of the people, the peo- ple won't listen to the church. And if the church just simply keeps quiet, I might understand. But the other man does not." CHURCH HAS BIG JOB Luthuli said the church has a very important mission in to- day's turbulent Africa and that in the rural areas as well as e cities, : t could do a job that no one! Topics this week: Work: ing while asleep, civil war chemistry and super-dense stars. SLEEP WORK Humans can be conditioned to work while asleep--flipping a switch with their hands when given an electric shock. Volunteers kept awake from 36 to 40 hours, then permitted to fall asleep, still responded to the shocks. Apparently, or- ganized behavior can occar during any stage of sleep, re port psychologists John T. Hammack and Allen H. Granda of Walter Reed Army Research Institute. This ques- tions the idea sleep is a. state qualitatively much different from wakefulness, they said. Sleep appears to be a more complicated thing than had been thought. WAR AND CHEMISTS Instant coffee, incendiary rockets, substitutes for drugs and dyes and improved mate- rials for photography . were chemists' contributions dur- ing war. But these were all con- tributed during the American Civil War, by chemists on hoth sides. says Dr. Wynd- ham D. Miles of the National Archives, Washington. The instant coffee was pre- pared in paste form, contain- ing milk and sugar, as one step toward making the Northern Soldier's rations less bulky, and was said to have been tested by General Grant. Northern chemists also helped develop balloon recon - ------ - naissance, improved photo- graphy techniques, ex- | perimented with new gun- powder and incendiary mate- rials, Miles writes in Chemi- cal and Engineering News. Southern chemists found new ways of providing essen- tial raw materials, worked on substitutes for scarce drugs and dyes, prepared incen- diary rockets filled with "lig- uid damnation," and rockets were reported used at least | LIFESPAN once against Northern troops. SUPER-DENSE STARS Armeni a n astrophysicists report they have established that some small but super- dense stars consist mostly of heavy elementary particles known as hyperons. Hyperons are among the particles produced when | atomic nuclei are smashed by | powerful accelerators, but they exist for only millionths of a second. But they become | dense | stable in the super - stars, report Viktor Ambur sumyan and Gurgen Saakvan. Hyperon stars are, 100,000 | times smaller than the sun, but their total mass is almost equal to the sun's. The Soviet news agency Tass says the astrophysicists find these stars consist of a main hy- peron nucleus, a neutron layer, and 'an outward en velope of atomic nuclei.

Mil Topics this week: Slow growing grass, a carbon life clock, and submarine fish- ing boats. From new scientists of the U.S. Bureau of Standards conclude that ra- dioactive carbon-14 has a half- life of 5,760 years--not 5,568. This is important because carbon-14 is one of the most valuable tracer atoms and time clocks on earth for esti- mating the age of archaeologi- cal specimens. The radioactive carbon, cre- ated in the air by cosmic rays, gets into every living thing, plants, animals, and man. After death, no more is added through intake of food or air. So a measure of how much radioactive carbon a mummy or a pile of wood ashes contains can tell how old it is. The 'half-life is the time it takes for half of any given starting amount of fhe radioactive atoms to break down. With carbon-14, half of all the atoms in a specimen would decay or disappear in 5,760 years, and half of the remainder in the next 5,760 vears, -and so on FISH STORY Someday, the fishing traw- ler will be a submarine, spot- ting fish with electronic gear, and using electricity to herd and guide fish into a collect- ing "net" or open mouth on the sub.
