trellises in his mother's garden. Everything was so tiny . . . so tiny.
Now it seemed that the girder started swaying, rocking back and forth. He gripped it with his lightly clenched fists until his knuckles ached. He was sweating, his stomach churning, his breath coming in retching gasps. The girder wouldn't top lurching—dizzily and sickeningly.
Then he looked across at the clay bank which seemed ages away. Four white faces floated before his eyes; they were just standing there—watching him. They looked scared.
Scared? His mind backtracked. Them . . . . scared?
The impact of the thought jarred him. Always before—in the barn, the building—he had tried hard to perform the aerial feats like the rest of the gang, to be one of the gang. Each time that he had failed he was scorned, ridiculed—the outsider.
He had made up his mind that he would fall. And they would sort of sop him up later. His folks would cry and the kids at school would be turned out for a day . . .
Now the tables were turned. Now they were
rooting for him! They were scared! They stood on the banks so galvanized with fright that they could only stare with open mouths—so scared they couldn't do anything! Crew-cut—self-assured, arrogant Crew-cut—looked petrified.
Then fear was more than a personal thing, a private possession all your own to cart around and nourish. The boy realized at last that everyone is afraid at some time, and that fear can just as often be for others.
The other boys crowded around him. They were a little ashamed, but couldn't say anything. The little red dog was prancing around on the bank above them.
Slowly he crawled along the girder, reached the bank and stood up.
Finally Crew-cut teleared his throat and said in a hoarse voice, "Gee, it's almost sunday. We'd better quit fighting and head for home. And . . . and, Johnny, I didn't mean to make you do it. Honest I didn't."
They started home with the dog racing around them, wild with the excitement of the homecoming. Johnny sneaked a backward glance. More than a bridge was behind him.

First A-Bomb Crater May Be Filled

Albuquerque, N. M.-(U,R)- The site of the world's first atomic bomb explosion would become another part of the barren New Mexico landscape if the Atomic Energy commission carries out its plans to fill in the huge crater.
But already the wheels have started grinding in an effort to keep that from happening.
Shortly after the AEC Santa Fe operations office here announced award of a contract for the earth-moving job, Gov. Edwin L. Meeham formalized a formal protest at Governor Dean, chairman of the federal agency.

He asked that the site in southern New Mexico be preserved for eventual use as a tourist attraction. The spot is now within the boundaries of the White Sands proving grounds and visitors are forbidden.
Connecticut Life Insurance company, persons interested in a life insurance career.
Interested persons may sign the interview schedules in the Business Placement Bureau, 214 Strong.
The contract for filling in the crater went to D. D. Skousen of Albuquerque on a low bid of $23,-600. The AEC said the work would consist of scraping Trinitite rubble off a 50-acre area, scooping it into the crater and covering the entire thing with earth.
The AEC explained that filling the crater would complete de-contamination of the site. However, it revealed that tests made in 1948 indicated that "bleaching by occasional rains, dispersal by winds and normal radio-active decay had so reduced the activity that the area could be entered almost at will."
The Trinitite is the fused glass-like sand caused by the tremendous heat of the blast and gained its name from the name of the site—Trinity.
