November 8, 1940 HIGH LIFE Pa-ge Three Home-Made Beads To Be Sold by Girls To Get New Supplies Ingenious Methods Provide New Poultry Band Uses; Try Other Experiments In preparation for a school-wide ‘•home ec made” jewelry sale to raise money for equipment, Miss Snowe Bradley's classes are dashing together “do-dads” with surprisingly successful results. The jewelry made so far has heen purely experimental, but from sirch un usual materials as hickory nuts, acorns, beans, macaroni, floor wax. nail polish, brushes, paint, a biinsen burner, lastex thread, a needle, and an electric drill many attractive pieces have been con cocted. ( hicken Bands Tsel Because of the short comings of these materials and the time it takes to paint and string them, ingenious plans are being made for a sale of jewelry pre pared from bands used in the poultry business to mark chickens. This sale, which is expected to bring in many Christmas shoppers, will begin as soon as a sufficient number have been made to meet the demands. Many persons in and around school have been contributing material and time to the experiments. It is re ported that the day Stanley Johnson made his contribution, a supply of nuts, the boys in the shop got their share of the “goodies,” for they were commissioned to make holes in the I shells.

Talking It Over By Mrs. Christine Florance Can you cure a cold, a cancer, or the ills of old age? Can you explain how electricity and energy work? What is friction and what makes glass trans- parents? Why do solids dissolve in water? If you can find the answer to any one of these questions, you can be a millionaire. At any i-ate, that is the opinion of such experts as Charles M. Kettering, Alfred P. Sloan, and Wil liam S. Knudsen of General Motors; Karl T. Kompton, president of Massa chusetts Institute of Technology; Er nest M. Hopkins, president of Dart mouth college; and General Hugh •Tohnson. Industries of Tomorrow These gentlemen discussed the ques tion of what yon young folks are going to do for a living at a forum held last May at the New York World’s fair. The forum was called “The Op portunity for Youth in Building the World of Tomorrow.” It was the con clusion of this group that there are many opportunities to be had through the development of new inventions, now products, and new activities. It seems that we haven’t reached the be- all and end-all of ideas just because we have ears, radios, aviation, and .synthetic liose. There are many more ideas, wbicb. if properly developed, might bring forth eiitii'ely new indus tries. additional wealtli. and thousands of new jobs. Mr. Kettering's Twenty-Five idea.s Ml-. Kettering presented a list of fwt'iity-iive things, which, if known, would help solve many problems with which we are faced today. “There might be a number of major indus tries liidden in this list.” stated Mr. Kettering of the following list: 1. How to cure many diseases— cancer, colds, ills of old age. etc. 2. How plants fix the sun’s energy. What is friction? 4. What makes glass transparent,, metals opaque? o. How do fuels burn in an engine cylinder? (>. Wliaf is magnetism? 7. What is electricity? 8. What is fatigue of metals? 9. What is the nature of light and other electro-magnetic waves? 10.

FOSTER - CAVENESS Wholesale Fruit and Produce Preparing lunches for 100,000 hungry children in 714 New York schools is no eas.v job for the crew of W. P. A cooks and workers in tlieir mammoth kit-hen. concluded Miss Cleo Boyd, city school cafeteria director, after touring the “kitchen’’ iii connection with her trip to the National dietetics convention in New York city. “The section where sandwiches alone are spread is the size of our dining hall hero,” revealed Miss Boyd when quizzed about her experiences. “And for the menu, which has been the same for the last 10 years. 10,000 loaves of br(*nd. .1,000 gallons of soup, and a ton of cheese are used in a single day Lunches Prepared by 9:30 A. M. The meals, which usually consist of some form of vegetable, beans or soup, a sandwich, and frint or dessert, are packed in large containers, which keep the food hot from 9;.30 a. ni., when it is ready to be carried sometimes as far as .30 miles, until it is ready to be given to the children. Per fect timing is employed in all depart ments, where, incidentally, the work ers measure ingredients, not by the pound, but by the ton. Other jflaces of interest to which Miss Boyd went were the culinary kitchen of the 2,200 room Waldorf- Astoria. where French chefs were busy at work, the mammoth fruit market, which, in order to observe, she had to get up at 1 o'clock In the morning. Sees Plays As no convention plans wore under foot at night, the productions, “It Happened on Ice,” “Johnny Ballanda,” and “Life with Father,” were among those observed by Miss Boyd and Mrs. Harry Omohnndro, dietitian for Gil lespie I’ark, who was also in New York for the meeting. “Tlie day we were at the fair ‘tak ing it all in' was so cold that any min- u'.e I expected the acpiacade to freeze ov(‘r!'’ concluded Miss Boyd. 1.3.

Student Symphony Astounds School He crept stealtliil.y through the over hanging brush, slowly advancing, the huce club clutched in one hand and an evil sneer upon his face. Glancing fur tively around to make certain his se cret mission had not been discovered, he tip-toed nearer and nearer, growing cA'er clo.ser and closer to his objective; tlien the blow fell! He began malicious ly to pound his innocent victim, bring ing forth sounds of mortal combat that reached the ears of all and caused hundreds of chills to creep up hun dreds of spines. Rushing forward to save at least a log or two out of the struggle, the innocent student turned pal(‘, mumbled a hurried apology, and burst from the scene. It was only Rob- Harry Turner Co. 227 8.
