Bluebonnet Festival ToBe Bigger And Better
The Ennis Bluebonnet Festival has again or-
ganized to put on a pageant showing the origina-
tion of the Bluebonnet.
All service clubs of our town will have a part
in the big event, and if all the clubs take their
share of the responsibility no one will have too
much work to do.
Mrs Byrne Cooke, who was appointed direc-
tor of the pageant, has one of the biggest jobs
of the lot and we know with the people she
selects to help her the job will be taken care
of.
Ennis has a lot of talent and every time any
type of show is put on here new stars are born.
so. we will be looking forward to seeing who it
will be this time. '
Eddie Wilson, a new Ennis resident, spoke at
the Optimist Club last week and cited two
things the city needed A park and fellowship
hall at the Community Center. Eddie really got
results, some of the Optimist members are al-
ready talking about a play park location and the
Bluebonnet Festival proceeds will go to the
building of the fellowship hall at the Center.
Sometimes a new citizen or a person who does
not live in your town can see what it needs bet-
ter than the residents.
Weather-To Be Or Not To Be
Should man control the weather? Should
weather remain a secret of Nature? These ques-
tions can lead to profound debate, but President
Eisenhower's Advisory Committee on Weather
Control urged that the United Slates expand its
research into large-scale weather patterns as the
means of their manipulation. With this report
came the warning. "If an unfriendly nation
solves the problem of weather control and gets
the large-scale weather patterns before we can.
the results could be even more disastrous than
nuclear warfare .”
What could control of the weather mean? It
could lead to push-button control of weather over
any sector of the earth. It could lead to fertili-
zation of deserts, place inhabited areas under
a permanent shade cloud, or transform agri-
cultural areas into wastelands. If rain can even-
tually be turned on or off at will, then the free
nations must have control of the faucet.
We learned from the Sputniks that success
in the arms race or in the conquest for the minds
and imagination of mankind goes to the nation
which has the ability to use the rapidly growing
technological advances as rapidly as they ap-
pear. After World War 11 we took a wait-and-see
attitude regarding the long range missiles, satel-
lites, and space-travel This was in spite of the
report of American mctcrologists. after visiting
the Soviet, that the Russians were deeply im-
pressed by the work and money that the Rus-
sians are already expending on weather " There
are great forces to be unleashed and the United
States must be prepared to commit itself ener-
getically to the future with its explosive tech-
nology
The President's Weather Advisory Commit-
tee. said, "Few areas of Science have implications
so^profound to all mankind as the study of the
atmosphere and the phenomen which occur in
it." The United States would have no desire to
use the weather control as a weapon to conquer
the world. On the other hand, we shudder to
think what our fate would be if Russia, bent on
world domination, should gain power ovqr the
wind, the sea, rain and storm and sunshine.
As President Eisenhower has proposed, there
must be control of space for the benefit of all
people Of equal importance is a pact ensuring
that if weather is controlled, it too must be
harnessed—not for world exploitation—but for
the good of all mankind.
