H-Bomb blast
Exploded at 15 000 feet over Pacific

Once again Bikini atoll becomeÑ the scene of the most dramatic nuclear explosion of all. For days, the target center and observation posts buzz with activity as weather planes circle the entire blast area, waiting for the most ideal conditions that will prevent desasterous radioactive fallout, the most difficult problem that must be solved in the titanic blast. In preparation for the explosion skiffs carrying radiation detection devices are lowered and anchored at strategic points in the blast area, for the collection of this data is one of the main objectives of the entire test and will determine in great measure chances of survival in the event of nuclear war. These and tens of thousands of other instruments covering thousands of square miles will bring back the answer. Trace rockets will capture samples of radioactive clouds. Admiral B. Haw Hamlin, commander, makes a last minute inspection. And here are the men who will undertake the most hazardous mission in aviation history. They receive a final briefing from the B-52's commander, major Dave Crichlor. They must drop the bomb from fifty-five thousand feet to explode fifteen thousand feet over the target area where these instruments will measure heat and radiation. Wheels for the gigantic test are now in motion and the seconds tick off. Far below the target island of Namu stands outlined with a cross of lights and its radar installation. Once again weather planes make a last minute check. A brilliance of five hundred sun's lights hundreds of miles on the Pacific and the force of a million tons of TNT is released. Fifteen seconds later, the light is still unbearable. Observers may well squint, for they may have witnessed the prelude to world destruction.


Supersonic sled
Tests new bail out methods

To the mile hight plateau of Hurricane Mesa in Utah for air force supersonic research. Here a rockets sled tests pilot safety equipment by simulating the fantastic (speces=ot specifications) of supersonic flight. The sled streaks down the two and a half mile track, gaining velocity steadily. At peak acceleration, the dummy is ejected to hurtle over a thousand foot cliff, the most drastic trial of the safety gear that spells life or dead for America's airmen.


Kid stuff
Chicago III.

Brookfield Zoo in the spring. Come on Junior! Drink your milk! It makes babies big and strong. What a big baby you are! And what a handful! He couldn't do that to a full grown rhinoceros, but you're a baby. Bud is right. Mister Badinski, the lion cubs call you and you're afraid theyâd think you snooty. What a pity, a butting romance turns into a spat. Oh well, easy cub, easy go. Grand- pappy porker has his nose up in the air, but he's not snooty, just snouty. Official beater for the new children's zoo is this baby Orang-Utang, he just loves children. Children love him too, but he's just wild about himself.


Seattle

Packing like sardines is an apropos remark at this point, the point being Railington Bergs fishing resort in Seattle. He reassembled a fish through open boards in the dock or several thousand kids of all ages earstwhile Isaac Waltons. That's a good line, but will yanky just the same before somebody gets hooked with it. Fish were hooked too by those who know the angles and how to untangle. Hurry up sis! The first four hundred fish caught win silver dollars and that includes minnows, star fish, crabs, anything by hook or crook(by any method possible). While there's even a prise for the smallest. As the returns come in there is one resounding vote for calling you today, but the majority are wild awake to wide selections of sea food for supper, even starfish. I knew there was a catch to it and they caught it.


John Day, Oregon

The hard of the cattle (country) in Oregon bid strong for the teenagers these day, the day of the eight anual eastern Oregon junior rodeo. Large title, large excitement, large kids getting large charge. They get a bang out of it, all right, but these country kids from small cattle towns know how to ride them rough. Where do you go? Airbag props are rough on junior cowboys and so the cowgirls will show them up in the cuff riding, they say. Oh, come on sis, you are not hurt! Well, only your feelings are hurt. What a men John! Nevermind who shows up, but somebody, maybe she can? And maybe she can't. Mother said there will be days like this. Rocking and rolling down that rock island line.
