CP&L Will Repeat Atom Youth Prize A public school award designed to encourage budding scientists and their teachers will be repeated by Carolina Power & Light Com pany in 1963. The award, made for the fifth consecutive year, will be an ex pense-paid trip for two science students and their teachers to the National Youth Conference on the Atom to be held in Chicago next fall. The conference is sponsored by CP&L and 60 other investor-owned companies to demonstrate peace ful uses of the atom. More than 600 students and teachers from throughout the country attended last year. F. T. Scarborough, manager for CP&L, said competition for the atomic award is open to all high school junior and sophomores whose families are served by CP&L. Selections are made by the company from among participants in the physical science division of the district science fairs held each spring in the two Carolinas. The science fairs are sponsored by the North and South Carolina Academies of Science in coopera tion with the public school systems and are supported by CP&L and other corporations and groups in the two states. Information on the science fairs is available through local science teachers or through the science academy offices: Dr. Forrest Lan caster, N. C. State College, Raleigh, K- C.; and Dr. James Loftin, Wofford College, Spartanburg, S. C. Additional information on the Youth Conference itself is avail able through the local CP&L office, the CP&L manager said. He added that “our company is particularly interested in atomic energy research, since we are one of four companies constructing the Southeast’s first atomic power plant (at Parr, S. C.) scheduled to go into operation this year.” CP&L delegates last year were Kent Whitfield and his teacher, Mrs. Nell Hamlet, of Roxboro, (N. C.) High School, and John Do zier and his teacher, Miss Edith Tobin, of McClenaghan High I School, at Florence, S. C. !
