COMMENCEMENT OVER Pittsboro School Has Creditable Clos ing Exercises—Senior Play a Great Success I The commencement of Pittsboro 1 school presented several enjoyable and valuable features. The recital given by Mrs. Bynum’s music class | indicated creditable progress. Satur i day afternoon the graduating class staged a class reunion of 1946, giving ! opportunity for prophecy of what the next twenty years will do to the 1 members of the class. Sunday the sermon to the gradu ! ating class was preached by Dr. Wick- | er of Elon College. The subject was the “opendoor” of Revelation, and : the sermon was appropriate for the i occasion. Monday morning the address was delivered by Professor Currie of Da vidson College. Dr. Currie said that the momentous problem or task of the day is that of outlawing war. He said that once the ministry led, but that it had lost its leadership by wasting its time and energies upon questions of little or no moment; that the bar succeeded to the leadership but became intent upon gain and fell | from its high estate; then the teach ers became the leaders of public thought and progress, but that they began to think too much about where we came from and too little about where we are going and leadership has been assumed by the business men of the country. He hopes that the momentous problems of the time will be solved by the business men. The Senior Play On Monday evening the most en joyable and probably most success | ful event of the series occurred, when the play “Nothing but the Truth” was most creditably staged. The cast of characters comprised Roland Goldston, Sam Beard, Brooks Snipes, Lester Farrell, Grady Snipes, Mary Lou Burns, Mary Dell Bynum, Louise Brooks, Carolyn Burns, Mary Sue Poe, and Nannie Lanius. Roland Goldston had’ the part of the hero Robert Bemnett, who had bet a friend ten thousand dollars that he could tell the truth and noth ing but the truth for 24 hours. He told it, but old man Trouble soon got busy and there were many compli cations. Roland has been particularly praised for the successful manner in which he played his part,* but the whole performance was creditable. There was an admission charge of fifty cents, and $185.00 accrued as the consequence, which goes to school im provements. It has been apparently a success ful session and the good will of the community goes with Principal Nolan and his corps of teachers as they depart for their various homes. PITTSBORO, N. C„ CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1926 ■ - fc ‘'rT— mnm, —t»—'■ ————■————————— NEW TORCH MELTS STEEL UNDER WATER Will Be Used to Open Hull of Wrecked Submarine. New York.— A torch that can melt and cut steel at any depth under wa ter has been perfected by the United States navy, and will be used in open ing the sunken submarine S-51, now on the floor of the ocean off Block is land, Commander Ellsberg of the Brooklyn navy yard has told a re porter. Such a torch Is hailed as a valuable aid in cutting through the steel plates of submarines and submarine compart ments. It was the lack of an ade quately powerful torch that prevented the piercing of the submarine S-51 last fall, after it was rammed amidships by the steamer City of Rome in Sep tember. At that time acetylene torches were used, and they were practically useless when forced to pressure of more than 20 pounds under water. The new torch consists of jets of hydrogen and oxygen which emanate from two separate sleeves to the tip of the torch. From a third sleeve comes compressed air. When the com pressed air is applied at any depth under water It forces an air bubljie to surround the hydrogen and oxygen. Thus protected from the water, the fire within the bubble of air is injected into the steel. It usually reaches a temperature of 5,000 degrees Fahren heit, according to Commander Ells berg. The steel plate melts. From the time the flame is applied the steel plate, usually an inch thick or less on submarines, can be cut at the rate of a foot a minute. The navy has been experimenting on the torch for several years. When the submarine S-51 sank, the torch was in the experimental stage. With the aid of the torch, it will be possible to get into the innermost compartments of the submarine. Holes will be burned in the hull of the sub marine, as well as in the walls of the compartments, and the com pressed air will be forced into the boat, thus driving out the water and mak ing the craft more buoyant. The bodies of 24 men are still in the submarine. It is believed, and these will be taken out probably before the submarine is lifted to the surface. Working Model of Solar System Built by Alien Chicago.—A mechanical model of the solar system which, according to Professor F. R. Moulton, head of the department of astronomy at the Uni versity of Chicago, shows more of the facts of the motion of the earth and moon i V € 'T\ r.r.y similar machine, is the result of seven years’ spare time la- I bor by Diego Arzio, a Jugo-Slav imnii ' grant. j Arzic was educated as a mechanical engineer at the Technical School of Marine Engineering at Pola, Jugo slavia, and came to Chicago in 1912. Chancing to read a book on astrono my, he became intrigued by the me chanics of the universe and determined to construct an accurate model in min iature. He spent three years of minute cal culations before he began constructing | his model. The work itself required four years’ labor in the little shop at the rear of his home here, with the simplest of tools. He frequently worked all night, refusing to stop even for meals. An electric-lighted ball represents the sun in Arzic’s machine. The ma chine is motivated by a clock, regis tering central time, the day, month and year, and operating 110 gears that con trol movements ranging in time from one minute to 12,500 years. Thus, the position of the models at a given sec ond corresponds to that of the plan ets. and the movements of the moon around the earth and the earth around the sun are portrayed with correct pe riods and eccentricities. The entire mechanism is mounted on an elliptical frame nine l'eet in diameter. “In my opinion the machine is a very remarkable mechanism,” said Professor Moulton. “It makes particu larly clear those features which are found difficult to teach.” I Thread From Eye; | Sees After 11 Years | a; Haverstraw, N.
