April a Two Faced Month for Forestry
The Arkansas Forestry Commission notes April brings the highest risk for fires despite a milder season this year. Between Feb 15 and Apr 15 remains the danger peak, but heavy rains and snows lowered threats. 1964 saw 78,069 acres burned valued at $509,591 with April accounting for about 20 percent of that toll.

Stanford's Electron Gun Sets High Energy Record
Stanford researchers fired the giant electron gun with only a quarter of the barrel in place, producing a 1.3 billion electron volts beam the highest energy for a linear accelerator in America. When finished next summer, the 666-foot section will become nearly two miles long and deliver a 29 BEV beam for studying subnuclear matter. The project costs $114 million and will operate at SLAC with a $2 million annual electric bill and 1,009 workers.
