been a freight car derailment anc
il delayed all the trains until /
was cleared away. When W.
started we went 100 miles ar
hour. We were in Chicago il
less than an hour, a distance o.
rs miles.
Some of us went to see Gin
erama, "Seven Wonders of the
World" Ii is just as if you STEP
ped into the picture and are q
part of it, every minute.
Wednesday morning we visited
Don McNeill's Breakfast Club,
which was very interesting. 1t is
IN hour long show.
After this we went to the mu-
scum of Science and Industry
which is truly fabulous! One of
the outstanding exhibits was a
German Submarine captured in
World War ii. We went thru
the submarine and then saw a 13
minute movie on its capture and
salvage. 1t was brought to Chi
cago in 1852 to this museum.
At 2:30 Wednesday afternoon
we went to Adler Planetarium,
which is one of only three in all
the world.
In the evening we went to the
horse show at the international
Stock Show Amphitheater. The
highlight of this show was the
All parade, when 1900 Airs
from AZ states marched in togeth-
or. A finer bunch of young peo-
pie dedicated to making the
best better" would be hard to
find.
Another highlight of the show
was Arthur Godfrey and his Pal
omino stallion. 1t vas a beautiful
horse and could really do tricks.
Arthur Godfrey also brought the
top Hereford steer for $31 a Id.
$4,000.
Thursday morning we assem-
Dled in the lobby again, until
the buses were ready. We than
headed for the U. S. Steel Cor
.oration. There is a guard at the
gate, and there has to be a rea-
for everyone going into the
grounds. OF course ours was a
legitimate one as we were one

We saw the ore being melted
md then poured into molds; after
I is cooled it goes through a
process of cold rolling and it
makes one continuous piece of
teel which is sheared into smaller
,ieces for loading. Then our next
move was to see the presses that
orm those huge iron beams of
which most of Chicago's build
ngs are made. This was red hot
.eel when the presses were used.
will admit it was really a dirty
rip. AL those who did not have

ne watts. 1t was really very in
-resting.
We were then taken further
ut of Chicago, but still in Chi
ago, all these industries are on
AXE Michigan because of the J
hipping problems. They hire
1000 men and put out $4,000
ms of steel a day. s
From the U. S. Steel Corpora
we went by bus to the Sher- 7
