Shaw Plays
Mentor Here
Wednesday

Shaw Highs unbeaten Cardin-
ais, tipping along with a five
game winning streak, take time
out from Lake Erie League ac-
ton this week, meeting a strong
Mentor quintet on the home
court, Wednesday, December %.
The visitors from Lake County
have a Tangy team and were a
surprise team in the last Class
A cage turnament and are said
to have an all-veteran team back
for this year.
The Cards remained tied for
top hOnOrs in the LEI with Eu-
cid following their 65-5I breezer
over Cleveland Heights last Fri
day night. What was expected
to be real battle for Coach Roy
Wisecup's charges turned out to
be a good workout as compared
to the gym dedication game back
in February.
Big guns in the victory over
Heights were Bill Whitacre,
George Garland and Jay HuntOn
who bucketed As points between
them and played a stellar defen.
slve game as well.
Athletic Director Bob Louis
again issued a reminder to all
grade school students that ad-
mission TO Shaw home games is
free if they bring along their
parents. OF course, the parents
will have to pay for themselves,
but the youngsters - for free
no matter how big the family.

Personal Safety

In preparation for service under

Scouts of the county are to re-
ceive first aid training. The plan

under civil defense orders, but
through their own chain of COM
mand, and will work only by units.
John j. Pokorny, civil defense
coordinator, said:
"Boy Scouts and explorers, be-
cause of their experience, COM
pose body of youths under adult
leadership whose abilities should
be utilized in county civil defense.
Every precaution will be taken
to insure the safety of the boys.
No scouts will ever be assigned 20
work in the field. Assignments
will be made only to older scouts
in groups with adult supervision"
The Greater Cleveland Scouting
Council will train all scouts in
personal first aid, intended solely
for their personal protection. Cub
Scouts will receive training, but
will not otherwise participate in
civil defense work, Pokorny said.

Where does the oxygen 60 wAsn
water is distilled? Distillation does
not cause a separation Of the oxygen
contained in water. When water Is
heated to 212 F 1t is converted 70
steam. The molecules are farther
apart and more free to move than
in the liquid, though each molecule
Of steam consists, as in water, Of
two hydrogen atoms attached to
one Of oxygen. Steam has to be
heated to about 1000 F to cause

to the stubble twice. The first time
there was no wind and I put the
fire out by driving in circle around
it, with the rake digging into the
ground.
The second time was well out
into the field and l didn't think I
could handle it, so 1 drove to the
house and reported it to the U. S.
Fire Service. When returned, a
half dozen or so of neighbors were
there with sacks, shovel, etc. raked
a windrow away from the fire line
but we still couldn't handle it.
Finally I straddled the fire line
with the tractor, throwing straw,
fire and all into the burn. In a matter
of minutes the fire was QUIZ. A.
