INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH EVERYDAY PROBLEMS
Here's what the U.S. Labor Dept. is teUing this year's crop of college graduates: • The job outlook has improved over last year, since business is better. • On the average, the college graduate can figure his starting salary at around $480 per month (specialists and those with higher degrees will get more; nonspecialists and women may get less) • Engineers, physicists, and mathematicians continue in high demand (a situation that's sure to persist for years to come) • Also much-wanted: social workers, teachers, health and welfare experts, white collar trainees, and — once again — dentists and doctors. Meantime government experts keep repeating this advice to parents: Don't let your kids drop out of school early; give them the best education you can; their future earnings are linked to their educational attainments.

Comparison of Two Theoretical Approaches to Electron Behavior in Ar-COj, Ar-Nj, Ar-Hj, and Ar-CO Gas Mixtures*

(Received March 7, 1961)
The electron drift velocity and electron average energy for low-energy electrons in binary gas mixtures of
Ar-COj, Ar-Ni, Ar-Hi, and Ar-CO are determined using two theoretical methods of approach : (1) a "distri- bution function," or VBoltzmann equation" approach; and (2) an "average electron" approach. The results of the two theoretical methods of approach are compared and discussed.

INTRODUCTION When a practical problem in science or technology permits math- ' ematical formulation, the chances are rather good that it leads to one or more difTerential equations. This is true certainly of the vast category of problems associated with force and motion, so that whether we want to know the future path of Jupiter in the heavens or the path of an electron in an electron microscope we resort to differential equations. The same is true for the study of phenomena in continuous media, propagation of waves, flow of heat, diffusion, static or dynamic electricity, etc., except that we here deal with partial differential equations.

So the crew took the forlorn little fellow to their collective bosom within minutes of his reporting for duty and gave him the name of Hydro, in honor of the ship he had joined. Minutes later. Hydro fell through a hatch and broke a leg. There appeared to be no alternative but to leave him behind in a hospital when we sailed. In his brief time on board, Hydro had been accepted as the ship's symbol of good luck, and now morale took a slump that no command- ing officer likes to see.

So, coupled with Intelligence's the southern end of Kiska Island on a black night. There were landing opera- tions and the assault against a stronghold described later in the official report as deserted. Our boat was approaching a beach where we thought there was noth- ing to fear, for by then the word had been passed that the Japanese had es-
caped to the last man. So it was with amazement that we saw, just before the boat grounded, a little fellow of about Hydro's size, last remnant of the Japanese
force, bound ofl" the bank onto the beach in what appeared to be a banzai charge. The action that followed was too fast to permit much more than a helpless wit- nessing of the event. Hydro was over- board in a flash, swimming toward the foe. He was on the beach before our boat grounded. There were flying legs and howls of terror as Hydro struck the enemy like a tornado.
It was over as quickly as it began. Ignoring the Japanese tradition of fight- ing to the death, Yamoto—let us call him —begged for quarter. He had been lone- some since the rest of the garrison had departed precipitately and left him be- hind to make a stand, singlehanded, against the mighty force about to descend upon Kiska. The land of the rising sun was far away, and such a suicide mission had little appeal for him. He wanted only to welcome the Americans as friends. The boat crew dragged the raging Hydro from the beaten enemy. A sailor from another ship took custody of the whimpering Yamoto and led him away to lick his wounds and to devour a meal the like of which he had never eaten in his hungriest dreams.

This his- toric town may have been militant back in the days of muzzle-loaders and can- non, but in covering the 1961 gathering, the Lc.xiiii^ion Minuteinan was forced to report that the citizenry had decided to do nothing, as a "protest against the con- fusion on the subject of civilian defense not only here but throughout the entire nation." The average homeowner would like to clear this confusion and decide once and for all. to build or not to build. But according to surveys of public opinion,

CLIMB A TALL TREE in GaStOflia, North Carolina, and you can see South Carolina to the South, Charlotte and the Catawba River to the East, and the Great Smoky Mountains to the West. It Happened And from here you can look 30 years into the past; perhaps into the future. Most everywhere these days Ameri- cans are alert to the fact that an insidi-
ous. Godless, alien "ism" is trying to in- filtrate, undermine, corrupt, then take over our country. But some 30 years ago we were not alert to the communist threat. Commu- nists came down across the Catawba River and invaded Gastonia, North Carolina, head-on. They were not dis- guised. They did not infiltrate by night. They brazenly sought to storm Gastonia by daylight. Few incidents in American history are more ugly, more frightening, more in- spiring than Gastonia's battle with com- munism. It was an ail-out, head-on, declared war which the communists launched against our nation's defenses, and it is not over. But a turning point battle in that war was fought and won here, in Gastonia, 33 years ago.
This is a textile town. Industry here- abouts has diversified in recent years, but Gastonia is still a textile town. In 1929, the Soviet communists, after
1 1 terrible years of enforcing their police state on Soviet Russia, boldly set out to invade the new world. They figured they could feed the dormant fires of resent- ment in the South and renew civil war in the United States. There was a labor dispute at the big Loray Mill in Gastonia and the com- munists seized the opening. They sent a red-haired red named Fred Beale to The gathering storm broke. Protest parades erupted into violence. There were raids at night. their intellectual weeds still were scat- tered hereabout, and by then there was a terrible depression on. So the bad seed might have continued to contaminate IN GASTONIA this garden spot, except for one thing. When the shock and surprise was spent, a citizenry confident that "it can't

His followers opened classrooms in tents and shacks and taught children "class warfare." Here, in Gastonia, U.S.A. The Communist Daily Worker opened and operated an office in Gas- tonia. Daily Worker reporters stirred up dormant hatreds. Handbills urged vio- lence. National Guardsmen were told to disobey their officers and fight the "tex- tile bosses." Women and girls were urged to use their heads, their smiles, their bodies, "to create trouble in the ranks" of the soldiers. And then one day the gathering storm broke in Gastonia. There were raids by night by men in masks, food was thrown into the street for hungry men to see, then drenched with kerosene and burned before their eyes. Protest parades erupt- ed in violence.

April 19, Patriots' Day, had never been celebrated on a na- tionwide basis until this year, when American Legion Nat'l Commander Charles L. Bacon invited a national committee to sponsor and encourage simultaneous bell-ringing everywhere. Admiral Arleigh A. Burke, USN (Ret.), chairmanned the com- mittee and worked long and hard to promote the observance. Former Presidents Eisenhower and Hoover joined other dis- tinguished citizens on the committee. The press cooperated with thousands of Legion posts to urge bell-ringing locally. Governors in many states proclaimed Patriots' Day. National TV networks helped, and the Nat'l Guard Association spon- sored spot broadcast announcements. At the appointed moment, the bells lang out — "church bells, school bells, fire bells, chimes, carillons, farm bells, dinner
