The Science Fair


JoAnn Govatos and ] had an ex-
hibit in the science fair. 1t was an
exhibit on light.
We showed a glass, mirror,
and yarn of different colors for the
spectrum. We also had yellow yarn
for the suns rays. We learned a
lot about light and how it helps us.
We also made a periscope out of
a milk carton, two mirrors, and had
a diagram on the side. The light
reflects from the top mirror to the
bottom mirror and then TO your
eye.

Weather
For the science exhibit Nancy
Reichhold, Anna Mae Legates,
Tommy Portz and myself made a
weather station. We each built two
instruments. Nancy made rain
gauge and an air movement indica-
tor Anna Mae made a nephOscope
and wind vane. Tommy made a
barometer and anomometer. l made
a wet and dry hygrometer and a
hair hygrometer. We put instru-
ments in two cardboard boxes, one
on top of the other. They were
hooked on by two of the corners.
Inside the box we had our green
and white background.
Sound
Jane Borland and / did an ex-
pertinent on sound. We showed two
different ways of making sound
These are the two different ways.
Strike a glass with very little water
in it and you get high sound.
Strike a glass with a lot of water
in it and you get low sound.
The glass with very little water
in it vibrates fast. The glass with
lot of water in it vibrates slowly.
The other way was with a banjo
We made a banjo and then put
strings on it. You can change
sound by the length of the string.
The long string has a low sound.
The short string has a high sound.

How Plants Grow
Our experiment showed four
ways of starting plant by leaves,
planting seeds, taking a slip and
putting it in water, and taking the
top of sweet potato and putting
it in water. We also showed three
things that affect plants; gravity,
air and light. Your plants need
sunshine, soil, air and water. Our
experiment shows four ways of
starting a new plant, four things
your plants need and three things
that affect plants. This is what our
experiment showed.

timing will be up to him.
But, either shortly before the
convention, or Immediately

something which will make
sense to the disconnected
farmers in the key political
States of the Midwest.
Mr.. Nixon knows it was the
farm vote which elected Mr..
Truman in 1913 when all the
polls and experts gave victory
to Gov, Dewey. An examina-
ton Of that election reveals
the Democrats lost votes in
the urban areas. 1t was the
gain in farm States which de-
feated Gov. Dewey. Again, in
1854 and 1855 1t was discon-

which returned the Democrats
to congressional power. In

holding the ordinance was
handed down in 1912 in a
unanimous opinion by the
Supreme Court of the United

Justices Black, Douglas and

Justices Roberts, Murphy,
Byrnes, Jackson, Reed and

So what 1t all boilS down
to is that a city may prohibit
distribution on the streets of
any commercial literature

it cannot prohibit anyone

ItuIy's Problem in South TyroI

is still a semi-feudal country
where the land goes to the
first born alone. Until in
dustries were established here
the other sons and relatives
Of the landowner had no
choice but to work on the
farm as hired hands. Now
they move to the city where
employment is far more re-
munerative.
The Tyrolean politicians do
not see in this move toward
industrialization just good
business for the Italian in
dustrialists who escape here
the threat of strikes so prev
alent in other parts of Italy,
but an attempt by Italians to
amalgamate the German and
Italian populations in South
Tyrol-another means of de-
naturalization.
The real kick of the aver
age Tyrolean against the
Rome administration is I'M
questionably valid. Although
the law provides that the
courts should be bilingual,
there are few if any judges
who speak German. The de-
PENDANTS and witnesses are
allowed to use interpreters.
but this process is frequently
irksome to the judges who
are all alien to this land and
there is a strong suspicion
that many decisions are pref
udiced because of delays in
the process of interpreting.
OF the 5000 policemen in
South Tyrol there are fewer
than a handful was told
only four-who speak Ger
man. The police, instead Of
being recruited locally. as is
the case in the rest of Italy,
come from all parts of the

is to investigate crimes and
misdemeanors in rural areas.
This exemplary police force
must also use interpreters.
with the result that its work
is as unsatisfactory for the
natives as that Of the city
police and law courts.
1t is on this understandable
discomfort that the politi-
clans expect to make hay I'M
less the Rome government
wakes up and realizes the
justice of the discomfort
among the native German
speaking Italian citizens.

This is sound doctrine.
But now six justices of
the Supreme Court-Black,
Douglas, Warren, Brennan,
Harlan and Stewart pull
back and argue that, because
reprisalS may be directed
against the distributors of
anonymous handbills, they
can hereafter conceal or hide
their identity. In this case,
the court related that "the
handbills urged readers to

whose names were given, on
the ground that, as one hand

Decline in Income Believed Forcing
Him to Break With Benson Proqron

a substantial portion of every
farm plan has contained GIN
micks designed to catch votes
rather than relieve the basic
problem.
This is precisely why Vice
President Nixon has leaked"
the fact he will have his
own farm plan. The news
seemed to irritate Secretary
of Agriculture Benson who
said, with a tartness unusual
for him, that Mr.. Nixon sup
ports the present program.
And, of course, he does AS a
member of the team he can
not do otherwise. This illus
trates one of the major rea-
sons why of all the Vice Pres
identS since the passage of
the Twelfth Amendment, only
one, Martin Van Buren,, has
been able to move directly to
the White House in elections.
Vice Presidents carry the
barnacles of the administra-
tons in which they have
been second man. This slows
down the campaign ships
which must sail in the turbu-
lenceS, or vacuums. left by
outgoing Presidents.
Mr.. Nixon cannot do other
wise than proclaim a farm
plan of his own, or affirm the
old one. To do the latter
would be to take on a heavy
burden revealed by the new
department statistics of low
income for farmers. We know
that he will not do this. 1t Is
not good politics. Also, for
more than a year we have
known Mr.. Benson and Mr..
Nixon did not see eye to eye.
So, there will be a Nixon
farm program.
In other administration
matters, Mr.. Nixon can, and
will, project present policy
into his own campaign. This
is particularly true of the de-
