Class Shown Slides

"Nuclear Tests of Canned Foods"
was the topic of a group of slides
shown to the Junior girls in Mrs.
Ruth Rice's home economies class
last Friday. The slides were distrib-
uted by the National Gamers AS
sociation.
The tests showed that when
heat-sterilized food, in both tin and
glass containers, was found intact
at distances of $3.50 feet or more
from the blasts, they were safe for
use by the public. The canned
foods Jared better than the struc-
lures in which they we're housed.

workers, not cutters, and deplor-
ed the situation all to prevalent
where students avoided courses
that were "too hard" or threat
ened to quit school, just because
they found school work difficult.
1--WE must all get used to taking
temporary setbacks in stride now,
so that we will be able to meet
the greater setbacks in life as
challenges, and not as insurmount-
able obstacles, according to the

es, the assembly was led in bible
reading, Lords Prayer, and Pledge
