SOMEDAY YOU MAY "SUNBURN" THE MEAL Actress
Eleanor- Bender believes in making hay while the sun shines she
profits from a newly developed aluminum solar cooker which will
do this roast to a turn while she's sunbathing in Hollywood, Calif.
Sheets oh top focus sun's rays on a heat-collecting panel which
raises oven temperature sufficiently to roast meat or bake a cake.
Hundreds of scientists recently attended symposiums at Phoenix
and Tucson, Ariz., to discuss harnessing of the sun's' energy to
perform mankind's chores. Scientists caution that solar energy
harnessed for power-producing purposes will only supplement,
not replace, more conventional power sources.
