Margaret Ellen Kottke, II,
of Cheverly, Md, might not
become Americas Madam
Curie, but she is going to
make a mighty good Try.
A winner in the Goth an
nual Science Talent Search,
the first area girl to make
the list in a long time, the
Bladensburg High School SEN
ior has made significant and
highly encouraging research
in sugar technology, and is
now well set on the road to
greater scientific achieve
mentS.
=. The Search conducted by
the Science Talent Institute
has brought to Washington
40 teen-agers from all over
the Nation, each noted for
some small scientific con-
tribution of which their coun-
try can be proud.
Recognition
Margaret won recognition
for making a study Of the
structural characteristics of
13 different kinds of sugar,
which influence their ability
to form a complex.
A complex is described as
something composed of more
than one item. What Mar
garet did was to take the
element boron, which is eS-
sential for plant growth, and
researched on what kinds Of
sugar form a complex with
it.
The research was done en-
tirely during summer holi-
days when she worked as
laboratory assistant to DR..
Hugh Gaugh, Catholic Uni
versity's well-known profess
Sor of botany.
Calling Margaret delight
fully stimulating to work with
and a very fine potential
scientist" DR.. Gaugh said
that her work "is. Of interest
because of the theory that
the role of borons in plants
facilitate the movement Of
sugar within them, like, for
instance, its movement from
the leaf, where it is formed.
to the roots which control
the plants growth"
Margaret, a blonde with
blue eyes, is the elder daugh-
ter of DR.. Frank j. Kottke,
an economist with the Fed
eral Trade Commission, and
Mrs. Kottke, who is a zoolo-
gist by training.
Still another experiment
Margaret conducted was on
the effects of red and infra-
red light on the termination
Of pepper grass seeds.
"T'he experiment was con-
Quoted in darkness on top Of
a ladder to be near the fluor-
escent light in the ceiling"
she explained.
II found that red light
made them germinate fast,
but when exposed to infra-
red light they did not, the
second light counteracting
the effect of the first"
Third Project
A third project dealt with
tobacco pith tissues in cul-
lures Of different amino
acids, from which proteinS
are made.
These experiments have
won for Margaret the vice
presidency of the Washing
ton Junior Academy Of Sci
ence.
She also won the first
place in botany in the 1859
Prince Georges area science
fair.
Next year she won the
third award in the 1860 Ma
tional Science Fair-Interna-
tional, and is now a finalist
in the National Merit schol-
arship contest, which will
take her to Oberlin College.
Margaret's h lob bies are
playing the piano and read
ing history.
Her pre-occupation with
science has not affected hel
essential femininity. Il love
to cook and sew. I make all
my own clothes. I have one
younger brother, but never
boss him around" she said

Can0eists Reach End Of Journey

 Jim Horton, 15, son of MT. and Mrs. Hugh Horton, Kennewick, Wash, summed it up: Swell trip, but I'll never do it again."

The first three canoes arrived p. m., Wednesday, others about three hours later.
 Dr. A. L. Schultz, Tacoma, the leader, said they had good weather most of the way but the last two days were pretty rough, with lots of wind and rain. We ate good all the way, with plenty of steamed clans and crabs filling out the menus"
 Robert Schildknecht, 13, Frenso, Calif., is the youngest. The party will spend two or three days here then fly back south.

 In two days fishing allowed this week they caught 277,00O fish worth about $6O,000, the Interna- tional Pacific Salmon Commission reported. The weeks daily catch is slightly under last weeks average.
 For the season through Tuesday, American fishermen took 1,141 ,274 sockeye, 164,551 pinks in Commis- sion controlled waters. Canadian catch was 1,142,737 sockeye, 142,- 592 pinks.

The reward for tagged crabs is S2 per crab. For the month of July the Department has paid out SPA to local fishermen for tagged crab.
