We were reasonably strong, but I mean we were, after all, thinkers. So Dean Pegram again looked around and said that seems to be a job a little bit beyond your feeble strength, but there is a football squad at Columbia that contains a dozen or so of very husky boys who take jobs by the hour just to carry them through college. 1541 Why don't you hire them? And it was a marvelous idea; it was really a pleasure for once to direct the work of these husky boys, canning uranium-just shoving it in-handling packs of 50 or 100 pounds with the same ease as another person would have handled three or four pounds.
