29 years ago Mrs. R. J. Burmeister was chosen regent of the Captain James Allen Chapter DAR at a meeting held at Mrs. Betty Beckley Campbell’s Neville Street home. Britain and Poland sealed a permanent reciprocal defense agreement as fears rose over Italy’s Albania plans.

Atomic Energy May Soon Compete With Other Fuels For Electricity
Washington reports nuclear power in the United States moving toward competitiveness with conventional fuels for large plants. Capacity now operating or under construction totals over a million kilowatts, with further builds planned. Despite gains, nuclear expansion remains a fraction of growing demand, though prices cuts and large-scale stations may boost output and provide co benefits such as plutonium production and desalination heat. Public fear and opposition persist in major cities, with congressional bills testing siting near fault lines. AEC chairman Seaborg cites a very small accident probability and strong safety records, noting ships have moved thousands of fuel elements without radiation injuries.
