Bassett Moore High School were
captivated during an hour-long
lecture and demonstration Mon
day by Miss Marie A. Bonner,
travelling science teacher, who
is spending this week in Smyr-

with lectures in classrooms. The
school had requested the pro-
gram, arranged by the Oak
Ridge Institute of Nuclear Stud
les, in cooperation with the Ma
tional Science Foundation and

the program is to stimulate the
interest of students in science,
and they were fascinated by the
serious-humorous lecture. Miss
Bonner told the students that
there is need not only for en-
phasis on science, but it is es-
sential for them to take English,
math, history, physical educa-
tion, and to develop ethically
and morally. The country has a
potential, and "you are that po-
tential," she said. "You have
your choice here; don't lose your
heritage and don't goof at op'

Police Probing
Weekend Robbery
OF Laundromat

Smyrna police are continuing
their investigation today of the
weekend robbery at Smyrna
Laundromat on South M a n
Street next to the post office.
Thieves entered the 24-hour
laundry facility sometime late
Saturday night or early Sunday
morning and robbed approx
mately $l00 from a coin chang
er machine within the building.
In their haste to escape, the van
dals dropped nearly $40 in quar-
ters on the laundry floor. The
robbery was discovered by a
Sunday customer who found the
money lying on the floor near
the machine as she entered. She
notified William Kruchen, own
er of the business, who in turn
summoned Smyrna police. An
immediate investigation Wa S
launched. Police said that the
vandals were apparently not
amateurs. They jimmied the lock
of the coin machine and lifted
the lid to gain entrance to the
change. Half-dollar pieces were
looted, leaving lesser change un-
touched in the machine. No 9TH
er machines in the building were
tampered with by the thieves.
Two laundry carts were, how
ever, damaged to the extent OF
approximately $35, covered by
insurance.
